Definitions

  • the device may be a simple metallic strip forming an electromagnetic aerial, a radio frequency antenna circuit or, more recently, an acousto-magnetic resonance device.
  • the device is usually mounted in a suitable carrier which is attached to the item of merchandise in addition to the usual label or tag, and is hence readily visible as well as constituting an additional item to be attached to the merchandise.
  • the invention provides a security tag or label having a laminated construction in which at least one intermediate sheet is sandwiched between a pair of opposite face sheets, the or at least one of the intermediate sheets having a cut-out area which is covered by the face sheets to define a concealed cavity within which is hidden an alarm triggering device which will respond to a signal from a transmitter to cause the transmitter to issue an alarm if the tag or label is carried into the range of the signal without having been de-activated, the alarm triggering device being housed in a container which is received wholly within the cavity, the container having a size and shape such that it is a close fit within the cavity and having a thickness which is substantially equal to the depth of the cavity so as to reduce the ability to detect the presence of the alarm triggering device by pressing on the faces of the tag or label.
  • the construction in accordance with the invention enables a high quality tag or label to be produced having a uniform thickness and flat faces carrying high quality printing and/or graphics as desired, while completely concealing the alarm triggering device within it.
  • the tag or label can be produced with virtually any desired outline shape.
  • Housing the alarm triggering device in a container also serves to protect the device during handling, and to facilitate placement of the device in the cavity during manufacture of the tag or label.
  • the intermediate sheet or sheets will be made of stiff cardboard, and the face sheets may be made of a suitable paper, card or plastics material.
  • the cut-out area defining the cavity will extend completely through the or each of the intermediate sheets.
  • the alarm triggering device may be in the form of an electromagnetic aerial or a radio frequency antenna circuit, but is preferably an acousto-magnetic device.
  • the tag or label in accordance with the invention may also be provided with a radio frequency identification device in the form of an RFID chip concealed in a further cavity cut-out of the or at least one of the intermediate sheets. The inclusion of such an RFID device will facilitate tracking and inventory control of the tagged or labelled merchandise.
  • At least one of the sheets may extend beyond the portion of the tag or label in which all of the sheets are laminated together, so as to form a tab for attaching the tag or label to an article.
  • such a tag or label will have a plurality of intermediate sheets and the tab will be formed by at least one of the intermediate sheets, which is preferably a flexible sheet of a tear resistant material.
  • This may be a fibre reinforced plastics material such as tyvek.
  • the tab may be provided with at least one slit or other aperture to enable attachment of the tag or label to an article by insertion of a portion of the article through the tab.
  • at least a portion of the tab may be provided with an adhesive coating on one side thereof, the adhesive preferably being a pressure sensitive adhesive which is protectively covered by a backing sheet of release paper.
  • the tab has a first portion in which the at least one slit is provided, and a second portion on which the adhesive coating is provided, the first portion being disposed between the second portion and that portion of the tag or label in which all of the sheets are laminated together.
  • One of the face sheets may extend a short distance over the tab and be secured thereto to form a stiffer portion of the tab adjacent the portion of the tag or label in which all of the sheets are laminated together.
  • a method of making the security tag or label comprises the steps of providing at least one intermediate sheet, cutting an aperture through the or each intermediate sheet, sealing a first face sheet to one face of the intermediate sheet or sheets to cover one side of the aperture, placing a container housing an alarm triggering device into the aperture to rest on the face sheet, the container having a size and shape such that it is a close fit within the aperture and having a thickness which is substantially equal to the depth of the aperture, sealing a second face sheet to the opposite face of the intermediate sheet or sheets to cover the other side of the aperture and form a laminate containing a concealed cavity holding the container housing the alarm triggering device, and die cutting the laminate to obtain a tag or label of the desired shape and size.
  • the invention also envisages providing a laminate from which a plurality of security tags or labels in accordance with the invention can be formed, the laminate comprising at least one intermediate sheet sandwiched between a pair of opposite face sheets, the or at least one of the intermediate sheets having a plurality of cut-out areas which are spaced apart in a regular array and which are covered by the face sheets to form a plurality of concealed cavities within the laminate, and a plurality of alarm triggering devices hidden one in each of the cavities, each alarm triggering device being housed in a container which is received wholly within the cavity, the container having a size and shape such that it is a close fit within the cavity and having a thickness which is substantially equal to the depth of the cavity.
  • Such laminates may be printed and cut into individual tags or labels for supply to a user, but generally they will be supplied unprinted and uncut to the manufacture of the items to be tagged.
  • the manufacturer will then have the laminates printed and cut as required, and for this purpose the laminates may be supplied with a printer's template or guide, for example in the form of a transparent plastics sheet, marked with the outline of the laminate and dividing lines which represent the positions of the bisectors between adjacent cavities and hence define the boundaries of the individual tags to be produced.
  • the template will also indicate marginal edge portions of the laminate which will be used to locate and grip the laminate during printing and which will not form any part of the tags.
  • the tag shown in Figures 1 and 2 is a rectangular tag (1) formed from two outer face sheets (2, 3), two intermediate sheets (4, 5), and a self-adhesive blister capsule (6) containing an acousto-magnetic alarm triggering device (10) of a known construction comprising a magnetic fixed pole and a movable pole which will vibrate resonantly when excited by a predetermined transmitter signal.
  • the blister capsule containing the acousto-magnetic device is obtainable under the trade name "sensortag" from the Sensormatic Corporation, United States of America.
  • the two intermediate sheets (4, 5) are each made of cardboard and have a combined thickness which is not less than, and preferably substantially equal to, the thickness of the capsule (6) containing the acousto-magnetic device.
  • Each intermediate sheet (4, 5) has an identically sized aperture (7, 8) cut through it in a substantially central position, the apertures being of a size and shape only slightly larger than the capsule (6).
  • the two outer face sheets (2, 3) are made of stiff card with smooth surfaces and, in this example, are thinner than the intermediate sheets (4, 5).
  • the outer face of at least one and possibly both, of the outer sheets (2, 3) may be pre-printed as desired.
  • the two intermediate sheets (4, 5) are first adhesively sealed together with the apertures (7, 8) in registry with each other, and one of the outer sheets (2)(usually the backing sheet) is adhesively fixed to one face of the combined intermediate sheets (4, 5) so as to cover the registering apertures (7, 8) on this side.
  • the capsule (6) containing the acousto-magnetic device is then placed into the cavity (11) defined by the registering apertures (7, 8) so as to rest on the inner surface of the face sheet (2), as can be seen in Figure 2, and the remaining face sheet (3) is then adhesively sealed to the other face of the combined intermediate sheets (4, 5) so as to cover over the cavity (11) containing the capsule (6).
  • the laminated assembly is then die cut to the required external size and shape, and a hole (9) punched through it for receiving a suitable tie for attaching the tag to an item of merchandise.
  • the tag is shown as being rectangular, but other shapes are of course possible.
  • the tag (21) shown in Figure 3 is similar to that of Figures 1 and 2 insofar as it is formed by two outer face sheets (22, 23) and two intermediate sheets (24, 25) which are adhesively sealed together to form a laminated assembly.
  • the two outer face sheets (22, 23) are made of stiff card with smooth surfaces as in the first embodiment
  • the intermediate sheet (24) is made of cardboard and has a central aperture (27) cut-out of it to form a cavity which receives as a relatively close fit a capsule (26) containing an acousto-magnetic alarm triggering device, the thickness of the capsule (26) being substantially equal to the thickness of the intermediate sheet (24).
  • the intermediate sheet (24) comprises a single cardboard sheet, but may be formed by two separate sheets as in the first embodiment if preferred.
  • the two face sheets (22, 23) and the intermediate sheet (24) all have substantially the same peripheral shape and size, but the second intermediate sheet (25) is much larger so that it has a portion extending beyond one end of the remainder of the tag so as to form a tab (28) attaching the tag to an article.
  • the tab (28) may be provided with a slit or a plurality of intersecting slits so that a portion of the article may be pushed through the tab.
  • the intermediate sheet (25) which forms the tab is a flexible sheet of a tear resistant material such as tyvek.
  • the tag (31) is formed by two outer face sheets (32, 33), and three intermediate sheets (34, 35, 36), all adhesively laminated together as shown in Figure 5.
  • the two face sheets (32, 33) are made of stiff card with smooth surfaces
  • the central intermediate sheet (34) is made of cardboard and is similar to the intermediate sheet (24) of the second embodiment in having a central aperture (37) cut-out of it to form a cavity which receives a capsule (38) containing an acousto-magnetic alarm triggering device.
  • the other two intermediate sheets (35, 36) sandwich the central intermediate sheet (34) and are each formed by a thin flexible sheet of tear resistant material, such as tyvek, having a pressure sensitive coating on its face which is directed towards the central sheet (34). As shown, both of the intermediate sheets (35, 36) extend beyond the rest of the sheets at one end, with the sheet (35) projecting approximately twice as far as the sheet (36) from the other sheets. If desired, the two sheets (35, 36) may be formed by a single sheet which is wrapped round the other end of the central sheet (34).
  • the overlapping projecting portions of the sheets (35, 36) are adhered to each other by means of their facing adhesive coatings to form a tab (39), and the exposed adhesive coating on the outer end portion of the sheet (35) which is not overlapped by the sheet (36) is covered by a backing sheet (40) of a suitable release paper.
  • the face sheet (32) covering the intermediate sheet (36) is slightly longer than the other face sheet (33) so that it projects a short distance beyond the portion of the tag (31) in which all of the sheets are laminated together, so that the projecting tab (39) is stiffened by the short projecting portion (41) of the face sheet (32) adjacent the junction with the remainder of the sheets.
  • the portion of the tab (39) formed by the overlapping portions of the intermediate sheets (35, 36) is provided with one or more slits as shown at (42) in Figure 6.
  • a portion of an article such as one arm of a pair of spectacles, is pushed through the slit (42) in the tab (39) and, after removing the backing sheet (40) from the adhesive coating of the outer portion of the tab, the tab and the stiff portion of the tag are folded towards each other so that the outer portion of the tab is adhered to the stiff portion of the tag so as to secure the tag on the article.
