Definitions

  • the present invention is related to an anti-theft safety tag according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • Such tag is known from US-A-6 255 950 and US-A-6 449 991 .
  • tags are commonly known and used in shops, especially for clothing, supermarkets and the like, to protect articles of clothing and other objects from theft attempts.
  • Such tags are of various shapes, sizes and configurations, and generally have in common the fact of being equipped with anti-theft means that, when passing through detection barriers placed next to accesses of such shops, trigger (if the tags are still placed on the objects to be protected) suitable acoustic and/or visual alarm devices.
  • Other types of tags are filled with staining liquid, that goes out therefrom if they are tampered with and fouls the object to be protected, making it unusable for a thief (but unfortunately also for its legitimate owner).
  • the tags to which the present invention is applied are those using a first part equipped with a nail (or pointed member) that penetrates into the object to be protected and is clamped in a second part of the tag and kept therein commonly by balls (or other clamping members) that unmovably engage the nail stem.
  • a nail or pointed member
  • balls or other clamping members
  • Such type of tag has two types of problems; the most severe is that the part equipped with a nail has such nail projecting therefrom and thereby it can be a source of danger of injuries for users, since the nail remains accessible to the outside.
  • the other problem is that such tag is made of two separate parts, which has storage problems of many objects and of costs for their use.
  • Object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems, by providing an anti-theft safety tag that allows housing the nail inside it when opening the tag, avoiding any projection thereof and therefore any type of danger for the end user.
  • a further object of the present invention is providing a tag of the above-mentioned type that is equipped with further possible protections against the nail from accidentally going out of the tag itself evne wiehn the nail is completely contained therein.
  • a further object of the present invention is providing a tag of the above-mentioned type that can be realised in a single body, allowing to save the parts and storage costs, and at the same time is simply realised, of a compact and aesthetically pleasing shape.
  • a first preferred embodiment of the anti-theft safety tag 1 of the present invention is shown.
  • Such tag 1 commonly comprises a first closing member 3 equipped with at least one nail 5 (with a head on which one operates in order to apply the pressing force of the nail 5 itself towards the tag 1 interior), and a second closing member 7 equipped with clamping means 9 for the nail 5.
  • the first and second closing members 3, 7 are adapted to mutually hermetically join when the nail 5 is inserted into the clamping means 9.
  • Such tag 1 has as its main characteristic the fact that it is equipped with an housing 11 for the nail 5 and with elastic return means 14 adapted to force the nail 5 into the housing 11 when the first closing member 3 is separated from the second closing member 7 when opening the safety tag 1, in order to prevent the nail 5 from projecting from the first closing member 3.
  • the housing 11 is composed of a cylindrical seat 16 obtained in the first closing member 3, of at least one holding ring 18 adapted to telescopically slide inside the seat 16 between an opening position in which it goes out of the first closing member 3 and a closing position in which it is contained inside the seat 16, and of at least one plug/button member 20 adapted to telescopically slide inside the holding ring 18 between the opening position in which it goes out of the first closing member 3 and a closing position in which it is contained inside the holding ring 18.
  • the plug/button member 20 is called in this way since it performs the double function of "plug" of the tag 1 when manufacturing it, and of button in order to push the nail 5 in its operating position inside the second closing member 7.
  • the holding ring 18 is equipped with at least one engaging tooth 24 adapted to engage an internal wall 26 of the first closing member 3 in order to prevent the holding ring 18 from detaching from the first closing member 3 when opening.
  • the seat 16 is further equipped with a base 60 for the further protection of a user from a contact with the nail 5.
  • the holding ring 18 is equipped with at least one (and preferably two) projection 50 adapted to be inserted into one (and preferably two) corresponding recess 52 with which the first closing member 3 is equipped when closing the anti-theft tag 1, while when opening the anti-theft tag 1, such projection 50 is disengaged from the recess 52 and abuts, by rotating the holding ring 18, against an external wall of the first closing member 3 preventing the holding ring 18 from going back into the first closing member 3 and therefore the nail 5 from going out of the first closing member 3.
  • the plug/button member 20 is preferably equipped with at least one engaging tooth 28 adapted to engage an internal wall 30 of the holding ring 18 in order to prevent the plug/button member 20 from detaching from the holding ring 18 when opening.
  • Fig. 6 shows well the situation in which the tag 1 is completely open, in which the movement shown by arrow A, namely the one in which the nail 5 is completely withdrawn inside the first closing member 3, can be realised only in case of a complete alignment between the projections 50, 54 and their respective recesses 52, 56: this is both the position that occurs when opening the tag 1 when it is placed on the external magnetic detaching means, and the position that must be created in order to be able to close the tag 1 onto the object to be protected by pushing the nail 5 in contact with the object and therefore inside the second closing member 7.
  • the elastic return means 14 are composed of at least one spring 14 connected between the first closing member 3 and the plug/button member 20: such spring 14 is contained inside the housing 11, is placed around the nail 5 and is adapted to push the nail 5 outward of the first closing member 3 when opening, namely when the nail 5 is disengaged from the clamping means 9.
  • the clamping means 9 are composed of at least two balls 34, 36 adapted, in their closing position, to be tightened against the nail 5 and to keep it in its closing position due to friction engagement: such balls 34, 36 are adapted to be moved away from the nail 5 when opening when they are subjected to a magnetic attracting force exerted by external magnetic detaching means (not shown because they are known and their operation is evident).
  • the above-described safety tag 1 when closed, can be shaped substantially as a closed shell and the first and second closing members 3, 7 are mutually separated parts when opening the tag 1.
  • this latter one when closed, is shaped substantially as a closed shell and the first and second closing members 3, 7 are hinged parts that remain mutually joined when opening the tag 1.
