This means that the loosening of the cables around the goods is done either by turning the detacher or the goods.
  • the maneuver member 220 is preferably formed to fit with its gripping part in a recess of existing detachers for security boxes. It should be noted that the maneuver member 220 should be that thin that the magnetic force of the detacher may force the latch members 230, 235 into a horizontal configuration. In an embodiment of the invention the protruding edge 233, 238 is forced to a minor vertical movement, not necessarily rendering the latch element into a full horizontal configuration, but enough to disengage the tongue 233, 238 from the teeth 255 of the gear ring 250.

  • the rubber like layer 310 is provided to the top section 320, either by gluing it, welding it or the like, to the top section 320. This may also be done in a separate process, whereby the top section 320 and the rubber-like layer 310 are assembled before secured to the housing section.
  • Figs 9 and 10 schematically illustrate a tool for unlocking the security device, a so called detacher.
  • the detacher 90 is shown to include a support structure 91, such as a plastic frame.
  • the support structure defines an interface which is elongated in the illustrated preferred embodiment. However, that does not means that the support structure as such need to be elongated, even if it is illustrated as such in the drawings.
  • the interface includes a centre recess 92, for receiving the gripping portion 225 of maneuver portion 220.
  • a pair of strong permanent magnets 93 and 94 are fixed at opposing sides of recess 92.
  • a schematic representation is disclosed of the detacher 90 applied onto a security device 10 according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • Recess 92 is shaped to accommodate gripping portion 225, preferably only in one or in two opposite orientations.
  • magnets 93, 94 are automatically aligned over latch members 230, 235, which are thereby attracted by the magnets to disengage from gear ring 250.
  • the second main part of the security device is thereby made rotatably free from the first main part, and cables 100 and 150 may be withdrawn from the security device 10.
  • the detacher 90 will then rotate along with the maneuver portion 220, and will stay attached thereto by means of the magnetic force, and possibly also by a snug fit of gripping portion 225 in recess 92. Increased security may be obtained by including more than two latch members and magnets, disposed at different angles, or even at different radial distances.
