Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an antitheft device of an article packaged or not and which is likely to be stolen.

  • devices of the type comprising a clamping control portion and two clamping members vis-à-vis between which is disposed an article to protect or a package containing this article.
  • At least one of the clamping members moves towards the other member, so as to grip the article or the package with a clamping pressure. predetermined.
  • the invention relates to an antitheft device of a packaged or unpackaged article, comprising a clamping control part and two clamping members vis-à-vis defining a clamping zone, at least one clamping member being capable of move towards the other member under the action of the control part actuated externally with respect to the device, so as to grip an article or a package containing this article with a first clamping pressure P1, characterized in that the device comprises a gripping portion which extends away from the clamping area and which is likely to move from a close position to a position remote from this zone under the action of a traction force external to the device, the device comprising at least one movable connecting element connected to one of the clamping and which is driven in motion during the movement away from the gripping portion, thus tending to move the clamping member which it is connected towards the other clamping member to grip the article or its packaging with a second clamping pressure P2 greater than P1.
  • the additional tightening force to move from the value P1 to the value P2 is directly proportional to the tensile force.
  • the extension or protuberance formed by the gripping portion relative to the clamping zone (clamping body) causes a malicious user to seize this part by pulling on it with one hand while holding on to the other hand the item or package to separate the device from the device.
  • the at least one connecting member and the clamping member attached thereto are engaged in a movement which further presses the member against the article or the package disposed between the two clamping members.
  • the attempt of traction exerted on the gripping portion of the antitheft device causes an increase in the pressure exerted by one of the clamping members on the article or the package containing it, thus making it more difficult to separate the article or package of said device.
  • the high clamping pressure (P2> P1) is exerted only when a user tries to separate the article from the antitheft device but not outside these times.
  • the holding in position of the antitheft device on the article or its packaging is thus improved and the protection thereof against theft is enhanced.
  • only one of the clamping members moves under the action of the clamping control part, while the other clamping member moves with said at least one connecting element.
  • the gripping portion may take a form with curvatures rather than straight or straight portions, to make a user want to grasp it.
  • said at least one connecting element is driven in a reverse movement when the traction force exerted on the gripping part ceases and the latter returns to a position close to the clamping zone, thus reducing the clamping pressure at first pressure P1.
  • said at least one connecting element comprises a first portion carrying the clamping member and a second remote portion that is actuated during the movement away from the gripping portion, said at least one connecting element being can move in the manner of a lever during its actuation, thereby raising the first portion when the second portion is requested.
  • the mechanism for increasing the clamping pressure when an attempt is made to separate the device from the article by pulling on the gripping part depends on a connection element of particularly simple shape which, by a simple movement of lever or of balance, allows to accentuate the clamping pressure on the article or its packaging or reduce this pressure to a lower value as appropriate.
  • Said at least one connecting element moves as a result of contact with a suitably shaped area of the gripping portion.
  • This area serves for example ramp on which the second portion of said at least one connecting element is supported during the movement of the gripping portion.
  • the second clamping pressure is maintained as long as the gripping portion is kept at a position away from the clamping zone.
  • the increased clamping pressure is exerted when the ill-intentioned user pulls on the gripping portion to separate the device from the article or its packaging.
  • the device comprises elastic means which, when they are urged by the movement of movement away from the gripping part, tend to oppose the tensile force exerted on it and which, when the effort ceases, bring the gripping portion to the close position of the clamping zone.
  • the aforementioned elastic means comprise, for example, a compression spring which is compressed when the gripping portion of a tensile force is exerted on the gripping portion and which brings it back into position close to the expansion clamping position. spring when the tensile force ceases.
  • elastic means can play the same role, such as one or more elastic elements, for example of curved shape, the curvature of which increases during the removal of the gripping portion and whose curvature returns to its original shape (due to the elasticity of the material constituting the element or elements) when the tensile force ceases.
  • an element may be for example a curved elastic blade or lamella.
  • the two clamping members each comprise a contact element mounted on a support (for example metal) and having a curved outer surface (convex) intended to come into contact with the article or its packaging, the element contact being made of an elastically deformable flexible material which is able to deform in contact with the article or the packaging.
  • Such a contact element acts as a pad or pad which dampens or attenuates the clamping force exerted on the article or its packaging in order to come into contact with it without damaging it.
  • This element plays a role of protection of the article.
  • the contact element is for example made of an elastomeric material such as a rubber or a rubber, thus making it possible to ensure contact with the article or the particularly soft (non-aggressive) packaging.
  • At least one of the two contact elements is mounted at the end of a support which moves in a substantially axial direction constituting the clamping axis.
  • At least one of the abovementioned contact elements is injection-molded on its support, which makes it possible to fix the element in a particularly solid and reliable manner to its support with respect to a simple bonding.
  • the support (for example metallic) of the contact element or of each contact element comprises attachment zones of the injected material.
  • the attachment zones comprise passages, orifices or openings in which the injected material in liquid form penetrates and clings to it solidifying.
  • Such attachment zones are particularly effective for achieving a more intimate contact between the material and the support and thus a more effective attachment.

  • a predetermined value which depends on the device itself, particularly the transmission system or internal mechanism connecting the clamping control portion to the members. This predetermined value does not depend on the user.
  • This predetermined value once reached leads, by design of the aforementioned system or internal mechanism, to a predetermined force exerted by the clamping members of the antitheft device on the article. It is then no longer possible to transmit additional force to the clamping members (hooking means) because the internal system or mechanism temporarily no longer connects the clamping control portion to the clamping members.
  • the system or internal mechanism connecting the clamping control portion to the clamping members comprises, locally in the chain of transmission of forces, a connecting portion which is designed (sizing %) to stop automatically when the force applied to it exceeds a threshold value (in the manner of a mechanical fuse).

  • the contact element has a curved or convex outer surface 2b1 which, when in contact with an object, deforms like the finger pulp of an adult, thus making it possible to distribute over a relatively large area of the body. object a high pressure without damaging it.
  • the material used is, for example, an elastomer of the rubber or rubber type, in particular of the thermoplastic elastomer type, for example a product sold under the trade reference MAKALEST distributed by the company Maurer Kunststofftechnik.
  • the support 2a for example metallic, comprises at its head 2a2 attachment zones for the attachment of the injected material in liquid form during the injection molding process.
  • the support 2a comprises at the level of the head ( Figures 4a -b ) a plate 2a3 connected to the central body of the support by a central cylinder or core 2a4 around which are distributed, spaced apart, several bars 2a5, thus providing a peripheral space (passage) between these and the central core 2a4 as well as between the bars themselves.
  • the plate 2a3 is pierced, meanwhile, several orifices 2a31 which pass through the latter in its thickness.
  • the shape of the contact element obtained is represented on the Figure 5 and is in the form of a protective cap or cushion arranged on the fastening head of the support 2a.
  • the cap has an annular base 2b1 arranged at the region of the support where the bars and the central core are located ( Figure 4b ).
  • This cap is extended by a contact head which first extends radially flaring, then converging (the head thus forms a shoulder) so as to form the curved surface 2b1.
  • the material constituting the contact element 2b and the support 2a (in the form of a piston) thus form a single piece.
  • the contact element is perfectly secured to its support, which makes their separation very difficult.
  • the connecting element 70 is represented on the Figures 6 and 7 and has at its spade-shaped end portion 72 a plurality of holes perforating the thickness thereof.
  • the Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the shovel-shaped connecting element 70 (for example metal) carrying a contact element 86 mounted on the flattened end 72 forming a support.
  • a contact element 86 mounted on the flattened end 72 forming a support.
  • This contact element 86 has an upwardly curved outer surface 86a that is intended to come into contact with an article to be protected or its packaging.
  • This contact element is made of the same material as the contact element 2b of the Figures 4a -b and 5.
  • the placing of the contact element 86 on the connecting element 70 is also performed using an injection molding process.
  • the holes 84 constitute zones of attachment of the injected material in liquid form and which allow the material, after cooling (solidification), to be anchored in the support 72.
  • support portion 72 is also hollowed out from below, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 , to allow the injected material, during injection molding, to spread by filling this space as illustrated, after solidification, on the Figure 9 .
  • the assembly of the contact element 86 and its support 72 forms the clamping member 3 which is arranged opposite the clamping member 2 on the Figure 3 .
  • the device optionally comprises a display system 90 forming part of the gripping portion 40.
  • this display system 90 is fixed on the two half-housings or half-shells 46 and 48, for example on the curved outer surface of their base 46a, 48a.
  • This outer surface is a front surface of the gripping portion which is not generally that handled by the user.
  • users preferably use the flat side surfaces to affix their fingers.
  • the convex front surface is therefore particularly suitable for the integration of a display system.
  • this display system also has a curved shape corresponding to the curvature of the outer front surface of the half-housings and has substantially the appearance of a thin cylinder portion.
  • this system comprises at least one printed area 92 and which is protected by an external protective cover 94.
  • the printed area takes for example the form of a printing medium which may be a sheet of paper or a piece of cardboard disposed in a housing made on the inner face 94a of the hood.
  • the latter is for example fixed by gluing or by an ultrasonic welding process, to the external front surface of the two half-housings 46 and 48.
  • the fixing between the cover 94 and the external front surface of the two half-housings is carried out at the level of the outer peripheral frame 94b of the cover 94, of which only the upper and lower parts are shown on the Figure 3 .
  • the advantage of having a display system on the gripping portion is to have a relatively large area in a region of the gripping portion that does not interfere with handling thereof.
  • the inscriptions carried by the printed area of the print medium 92 can be achieved by various printing techniques such as laser printing, pad printing, etc.
  • cover 94 may alternatively be removably attached (screwed, clipped, fitted ...) on the gripping portion 40.
  • the cover is in a way a protective window removably or permanently fixed to the device 1.
  • the assembly consisting of the cover protecting at least one printed area (print medium) may alternatively ( or in addition) be arranged on another region of the device such as the upper face 21b of the wheel.
  • the cover can be made of transparent plastic material such as polycarbonate or glass or, more generally, in any other transparent material to provide protection against wear, moisture and various other attacks.
  • At least one additional element carrying the printing zone may alternatively be placed between the support 92 and the inside face of the cover 94.
  • clamping members (hooking means) are moved so that they penetrate as little as possible inside the opening 42 and thus clear the free space for the passage of a portion of the article in this opening.
  • the user turns the knob 21 according to its opening direction, this movement causing the ring 17 to rotate in its blocking direction.
  • the inner contour 19b of the ring 17 despite the non-locking position of the sawtooth pairs of the inner contour 19b of the ring 17 and the S-shaped piece 16 disposed on the cam 9, still causes the latter.
  • This movement is possible because, in the absence of a force exerted on the clamping member 2, the flexibility of the branches of the S-shaped part 16 disposed on the cam 9 is sufficient to allow the drive of the cam 9 and therefore the translation of the clamping member 2.
  • the user turns the knob 21 in the direction of the closure of the clamping member 2, which will initially cause the ring 17 to have the teeth of the outline 19b interior will block the teeth of the S-shaped piece 16 disposed on the cam 9, then drive the cam 9 in rotation which, in turn, drives the support 2a of the clamping member 2 in translation until it reaches Article 100 ( Figure 10 ).
  • the movable clamping member 2 comes into contact with a face 100a of the article 100 and, for a predetermined torque value during the design of the device (torque of clamping forces applied by the user on the wheel), the ring 17 will rotate in its direction of rotation as opposed to the blocking direction, thus making any further tightening attempts unnecessary.
  • the article 100 is thus clamped by the clamping member 2 and the clamping member 3 in contact with the opposite face 100b.
  • the predetermined value of the force torque is given in the examples described by the force to be applied by the user during tightening to disengage the elements protruding from the ring of complementary projecting elements of the housing.
  • the diameter of the actuating wheel centered on the axis of rotation of the cam facilitates the clamping force to be applied by the user to exert on the article a much greater clamping force.
  • clamping members hooking
  • clamping pressure P1 clamping force
  • Article 100 is thus locked with the antitheft device and therefore secure.
  • the locating means 23 (active or passive member (s)) concealed in the control part 6 and / or those arranged in the housing 46f, 48f and / or at another location of the antitheft device 1 according to the invention will trigger an alarm when passing the article near a security portal or will dialogue with an RFID type interrogator.
  • the clamping pressure exerted by the clamping members is predetermined so as not to damage the article or even leave a trace after removal of the device.
  • This part offering a large area to the fingers of a malicious user is the gripping portion 40 which has been described above.
  • the contact member 86 is deformed like the finger pulp of an adult and thus makes contact with the relevant face of the article over a large area, without damaging it.
  • the elastic means 80 are biased in compression between the portion 46e, 48e of the mobile housing and the bottom of the housing 54 of the fixed block 44.
  • the elastic means 80 exert their return force and push the movable portion 46e, 48e towards the clamping zone in order to bring the mobile housing back into the close position of the Figure 10 .
  • the increased clamping force that is applied by the device to article 100 is generally between 300 and 600N, knowing that the additional force is directly proportional to the force exerted on the gripping portion .
  • This pressure increase mechanism is particularly useful for reinforcing the attachment of the antitheft device on the article and thus enhance the protection against theft.
  • the tightening increase on the article can result from the cooperation of the gripping portion with one or more other connecting elements that can take on different shapes without departing from the scope of the invention. .
  • the two clamping members of the antitheft device move independently of one another under the action of different mechanisms.
  • the first clamping member moves under the action of a clamping mechanism implemented during attachment of the device to the article to be protected, while the other clamping member. (clamping member 3) is actuated during an attempted break-in and separation of the device of the article.
  • the loosening of the anti-theft device 1 of the article will not be possible because, in the loosening direction of the wheel 21, the flexibility of the branches of the S-shaped part 16 disposed on the cam 9 is too great to oppose the torque exerted during tightening.
  • the branches of the S-shaped piece 16 disposed on the cam 9 will thus flex primarily radially, that is to say in the plane of the S, without any movement being transmitted to the attachment means 4.
  • the only way to release the article of the antitheft device 1 according to the invention is to engage the wheel 21 with the cam 9 by means of the clutch mechanism 24.
  • the user must have a powerful magnet of the neodymium type against the outer face of the housing 18 to release the metal finger 13 from its housing 12a and attract against the inner face of the housing 18 by opposing the compression force of the spring 14.
  • the user must turn the knob 21 in the direction causing the opening of the members or clamping jaws.
  • the rectangular portion 13b of the metal finger 13 will enter the housing 12b of complementary rectangular shape of the housing 18.
  • the rotation of the wheel 21 will then directly cause the rotation of the cam 9 via finger 13 whose rectangular portion 13b will be partially disposed in the housing 12a of the cam 9 and partly in the housing 12b of the housing 18.
  • the device 1 is thus ready for a new use.
