Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of packaging of objects and that of protecting these objects against theft, and more particularly an anti-theft protection link between two objects.
- 5 Stores are daily victims of shoplifting or unmarked markdown, and consequently suffer a shortfall which amounts to considerable sums. The fight against this scourge pushes designers to imagine protection systems more and more
- document FR-A-2,358,713 describing an anti-theft marker made of ferromagnetic material fixed on the object to be protected
- document WO-A-85 02285 describing a system alarm using a ribbon in two overlapping strips taken into
- Document EP-A-0 615 041 thus describes a reusable anti-theft device for glasses, comprising a link reinforced by two steel cables, associated with a hooking plate provided with locking means which can be disarmed only using a specific tool.
- anti-theft protection systems of the case or rigid label type are also known, which are fixed by stapling or adhesive bonding to the object concerned.
- an advanced technology known as magneto-acoustic technology
- magneto-acoustic technology has been developed, according to which the anti-theft protection system consists of two adjoining metal strips (separated by an insulating wall) capable of being vibrated at a frequency relatively low preset (around 60 kHz for example).
- the advantage of this type of protection system is that you can inhibit and disinhibit the system at will, as many times as you want.
- a protection system is placed in a case, one face of which is adhesive, so as to be applied directly against the wall of the object to be protected.
- the invention aims precisely to solve the problem of the anti-theft protection link between two objects, and to devise a technique which does not have the aforementioned drawbacks.
- the invention thus provides an anti-theft protection device for connecting two objects which is both simple in structure and capable of imparting a protec tion ⁇ optimal in terms of inviolability, while being easy setting up .
- connection device with anti-theft protection between two objects characterized in that it comprises:
- an envelope made of heat-shrinkable plastic produced in the form of a sleeve whose walls are locally brought together along a common generator to form a main compartment open at its two ends and intended to wrap a first of the two objects to be connected and an annex compartment in which is disposed an elongated bar extending parallel to said common generator;
- an anti-theft protection means integrated into the envelope and / or at least one of the two objects.
- the elongated bar is glued in the associated annex compartment of the envelope.
- a sealing of the walls facing the envelope at the level of the common generator is provided.
- the elongated bar is unitary and extends over the entire length of the associated annex compartment of the envelope.
- an elongated bar made in the form of a bar or a plastic tube may be provided.
- the casing is further provided with an anti-theft protection means in the form of a metal filament constituting an electromagnetic antenna, repeated filament extending along a generator line of the compartment main.
- the metal filament is disposed at an inner flap of the sleeve constituting the envelope, and the outer wall of said sleeve has a local cutout or notch at one end of the filament to allow gripping thereof. ci for the tearing of said wall.
- the antenna filament then also performs a tear strip function.
- one of the objects to be linked is an elongated identification and / or anti-theft protection plate.
- the elongated plate can be arranged in the form of a housing serving to house an anti-theft protection means such as a magneto-acoustic detection antenna, and one of the walls of the elongated plate is the wall.
- the blocking means associated with the narrow longitudinal slot consists of a blocking cleat which is either clipable on the wall, or connected to the wall by a hinge ligament, so that said cleat can then pivot between a position of release in which the entrance to the slot is cleared, and a blocking position in which the entry of the slot is blocked.
- the ligament is designed to allow a limited number of uses, then breaking naturally.
- the aforementioned cleat is lockable in its locking position, for example by clipping a lug integral with said cleat in the slot.
- the locking means associated with the narrow longitudinal slot consists of a double entry notch arranged to allow passage in the only direction of insertion.
- the invention also relates to a heat-shrinkable envelope specially intended for constituting a connection device having at least one of the above characteristics, said envelope being produced in the form of a sleeve made of heat-shrinkable plastic, the walls of which are locally close together. along a common generator to form on the one hand a main compartment open at its two ends and on the other hand an annex compartment in which is blocked an elongated bar extending parallel to said common generator.
- this envelope is equipped with an anti-theft protection means in the form of a metal filament constituting an electromagnetic antenna, said filament extending along a generator of the main compartment.
- FIG. 1 illustrates in perspective a device according to the invention, with its envelope ready to receive an object, the other object here being a wafer elongated fitted with anti-theft protection means;
- FIG. 2 is a section on II-II of Figure 1, to better distinguish the connection between the envelope and the wafer through an elongated bar which is trapped in the wafer;
- FIG. 3A and 3B illustrate the implementation of the aforementioned device on an object or part of an object, in this case respectively on a branch of glasses or on a strip of pen, after retraction of the relevant wall of the envelope around the object or part of an object;
- FIG. 4 is a section on IV- IV of Figures 3A or 3B, to better distinguish the mechanical connection thus produced after retraction of the wall of the outer shell to the wafer;
- FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the mounting of the aforementioned device, before the insertion of an envelope fitted with its bar extended by the slot of the wafer, the blocking cleat thereof being in the release position to clear the entrance to said slot, the blocking position of said cleat being illustrated in phantom;
- FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a device 10 for connecting two objects according to the invention, in accordance with a first variant in which the object carrying the wall with a longitudinal slot is an elongated plate, here equipped with an anti-protection means -flight.
- the device 10 essentially consists of two main components which are arranged to be associated with each other inseparably.
- the first of these components is an envelope denoted 20, made of heat-shrinkable plastic, produced in the form of a sleeve.
- Plastic tape is closed on itself, and has a sealing line denoted 21 at a generator of the sleeve, forming an end flap 22, which is here arranged on the inside of the sleeve.
- the walls of the sleeve are locally brought together along a common generator, denoted 23, to form a main compartment denoted 24 which is open at its two ends and intended to envelop a first (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) of the two objects to be connected (the other object being here constituted by the aforementioned plate), and an annex compartment denoted 25, here of much smaller section than that of the main compartment, in which is placed an elongated bar 26
- the elongated bar 26 can be glued in the annex compartment 25 of the envelope 20, as is best visible in the section of Figure 2 , where there is a thickness of glue 27 surrounding here the bar 26.
- glue 27 surrounding here the bar 26.
- bonding has the advantage of keeping the elongated bar in place, a bar whose function will be explained below.
- This elongated bar 26 is preferably unitary, and extends over the entire length of the associated annex compartment 25 of the casing 20, the advantage of a unitary bar being that an optimal mechanical resistance is also obtained throughout the length of the sleeve.
- the elongated bar 26 may be produced in the form of a bar or a plastic tube, the material which is of little importance as soon as the mechanical resistance against crushing (as a result of eff- strong towards its axis) is sufficient.
- the envelope 20 is further here equipped with a metallic filament denoted 28 forming an electromagnetic antenna, said filament extending along a generator of the main compartment 24.
- this generator will be chosen close to the common generator 23, in order to favor the discretion of the presence of the antenna once the device has been placed on an object or part of an object.
- the metal filament 28 is disposed at the inner flap 22 of the sleeve constituting the envelope, and the outer wall of the sleeve has furthermore a cutout or local notch 29 at one end of the filament 28 to allow gripping thereof by appropriate pliers for tearing said wall (the filament-antenna then also providing a tear strip function), as will be explained later, when one wishes disconnect the device 10 from the object with which it is associated.
- this type of metallic filament constitutes an antenna operating by resonance and not by radio frequency electromagnetic waves, and that this means cannot be deactivated.
- the envelope is equipped with a tear strip of conventional type (not shown here) extending along a generator of the main compartment 24.
- a tear strip of conventional type (not shown here) extending along a generator of the main compartment 24.
- L Another fundamental component of the device 10 is constituted by a part of the other object, namely for the variant of FIGS. 1 to 5 an elongated identification and / or anti-theft protection plate.
- elongated plate 30 which is arranged in the form of a housing.
- This plate 30 has a wall 31 in which is formed a narrow longitudinal slot denoted 32.
- This longitudinal slot 32 has an end 33 which does not open out, which is close to one end (rear in FIG. 1) of the plate, and an end 34 which is itself open out at level of the front end of said plate.
- the slot 32 has a particular dimension, both for its width and for its length.
- the width of the slot 32 is chosen so as to allow the double thickness of the casing 20 to pass through the common generator 23 thereof, without however allowing the elongated bar 26 to pass, which is then disposed behind the wall 31 of the wafer 30. Thanks to this arrangement, the elongated bar 26 cooperates with the wall 31 to ensure the connection between the envelope 20 heat-shrunk on the first object and the other object constituted by the elongate wafer 30.
- the device 10 is indeed intended to be associated with an object or a part of an object (the "first object"), by being intimately fixed on this object or this part of an object following a retraction of the wall of the envelope corresponding to the main compartment thereof, as illustrated in FIG. 3A for a branch of glasses, or FIG. 3B for a pen barrette, and on the associated section of FIG. 4, the object or the part d associated object being referenced ink 100.
- a locking means is provided for this purpose, here constituted by a stopper denoted 36 which is integral with the plate 30, which is arranged to bar the through end 34 of the slot 32.
- the stopper 36 can be an independent piece of the wafer 30 and be able to be clipped, in its blocking position, so as to block the inserted envelope.
- the blocking cleat 36 may be produced in the form of a bar having on one face two male studs which can be snapped into two associated bores provided for this purpose in the plate 30. It is however advantageous to provide a cleat mechanically associated with the plate 30, which facilitates the handling of this cleat, and avoids any risk of loss thereof.
- the blocking cleat 36 is here connected to the housing 30 by a hinge ligament 37, so that said cleat can pivot between a release position (illustrated in FIG. 5) , in which the inlet 34 of the slot 32 is released, and a locking position (illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4) in which the inlet 34 of the slot 32 is crossed out.
- the housing 30 carrying a magneto-acoustic detection antenna 50 can thus be reused once it has been detached from the envelope 20 heat-shrunk on the object. It is however advisable to ensure that the number of uses remains de facto limited, which can be easily obtained by providing that the ligament 37 is designed to allow a limited number of uses by breaking naturally afterwards, for example five up to ten manipulations.
- the cleat 36 is lockable in its locked position. This can be achieved by any mechanical means such as clipsa- ge. In this case, as can be seen more clearly in FIG.
- a lug 38 can be provided on the internal face of the pivoting cleat 36, which lug is arranged and dimensioned so as to be able to snap into the slot 32 when the cleat 36 is folded against the wall 31 of the housing 30.
- L has been noted the length of the envelope 20 and its associated elongated bar 26, and this length L is found on the main portion of the slot 32 located between the end 33 of the latter and the limit point of overlap by the cleat 36 when the latter is folded down. The envelope 20 is then perfectly maintained between two end stops, in the associated part of the slot 32.
- the elongated plate could be produced in a monolithic form with simply its longitudinal slot 32.
- a variant is illustrated in section in FIG. 6A, the elongated plate being referenced 30 '.
- the rear face 39 opposite the face 31 essentially serves as a support for identification means denoted 39.1, 39.2, for example a weight-price label or a bar code support, or a digital label, or even a solar battery.
- identification means denoted 39.1, 39.2, for example a weight-price label or a bar code support, or a digital label, or even a solar battery.
- these notches having a profile capable of allowing the portion of the envelope corresponding to the annex compartment 25 in which the elongated bar 26 is disposed.
- these notches 35 will be limited to the end walls of the housing 30, or may constitute the through ends of a longitudinal housing formed inside. of said housing.
- the installation of a device such as the device described above is carried out in accordance with a method consisting in threading the object or the part of the object concerned 100 into the compartment 24 of the envelope 20, then in shrinking the wall the main compartment 24 to secure the device 10 to the object 100.
- the object 100 may be of a very diverse type, in particular chosen in the field of perfumery, cosmetics or stationery. However, it is advantageous to provide, as has been illustrated in the two applications of FIGS. 3A and 3B, that the object or the part of object 100 threaded into the main compartment 24 of the envelope 20 extends opposite of the blocking cleat 36 and thus constitutes a natural locking of said cleat once the heat-shrinking has been carried out.
- FIG. 5 also illustrates a housing 30 produced by assembling two components denoted 30.1 and 30.2, namely a plate 30.1 with which the cleat 36 is integral and which has the slot 32, and a housing proper 30.2, the edges of junction of these two components being here notches to achieve a positive locking preventing, once the plate 30.1 clipped to the housing 30.2, any sliding relative to the way of a drawer in the direction of the slot.
- connection of the two objects made by the device 10 is both very safe and quick to implement. As can be seen in FIG. 5, it suffices to thread the envelope part 20 equipped with its elongated bar 26 into the slot 32 until it comes into abutment against the end 33 of this slot 32. Then, it suffices to raise the blocking cleat 36, and to snap said cleat into its blocking position. We then arrive at the device illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the connection to the other object can then be easily produced, for example on a branch of glasses or on the bar of a pen, by subjecting the wall concerned to localized heating, for example by blowing hot air or by approaching the wall of a gas burner flame.
- the device 10 does not harm the examination of the object 100, nor the fitting of the latter in the case of a spectacle frame.
- the small size of the housing 30 in practice we will use a parallelepipedic housing of dimensions 5mm x 20 mm x 45 mm) is entirely compatible with the use of displays traditionally used by opticians.
- a film with a high percentage of shrinkage 70 to 80% for example
- the thickness will be about from 50 to 60 ⁇ m. It is easy to understand that with relatively thick films, the tearing of the heat-shrunk envelope becomes more difficult to implement, which makes the above-mentioned solution even more effective, consisting in using an antenna filament as a tape. 'uprooting.
- connection device of the invention could naturally be envisaged. Two other variants have been illustrated by way of nonlimiting examples in FIGS. 6B and 6C.
- the object having a wall with a narrow longitudinal slot is no longer as before an elongated plate, forming a housing (FIGS. 1 to 5) or not (FIG. 6A).
- FIG. 6B there is an object 100 intended to be received in the main compartment 24 of the envelope 20.
- the other object, noted 30 " is a protuberance having a slot 35 with slot 32 intended to receive the part of the envelope 20 surrounding the bar 26.
- the associated locking means is here produced not in the form of a cleat which can be clipped onto the other object or pivoted, being connected to said other object, but in the form of a double entry notch, noted 36 ', arranged to allow passage in the only direction of insertion (at the way of a hook).
- This 30 "protrusion may be part of a support for hanging objects (objects such as object 100), or even an object such as a container or container packaging (object 100 is then a promotion associated with the object sold).
- the object denoted 100 ′ which is received in the main compartment 24 of the envelope 20 is an identification and / or anti-theft protection plate, for example a housing plate of the type of the plate 30 previously described, equipped with a magneto-acoustic antenna 50.
- the other object, denoted 30 '' ' is here a bottle having a recess located with a slot 32 and a blocking cleat 36, so as to receive the part of the envelope 20 surrounding the bar 26.
- the object 30 '' 'could alternatively be a packaging or an object support, then equipped with a very effective tamper-evident system.
- envelope 20 illustrated in FIGS. 6B and 6C is as previously equipped with an anti-theft protection means in the form of a filament 28 constituting an electromagnetic antenna.
