Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an anti-theft system with mechanic and electronic protection.
  • Anti-theft devices are known in the art that are suitable to guarantee the protection of products to be exposed, allowing the potential customer to be able to see and try the products protected by them.
  • system with free touch comprise a universal support, equipped with sensor, on whose surface the product to be exposed is fastened, through bi-adhesives. Vision of the product by a potential customer is made possible by the presence of a steel cable, that allows handling the product limiting it to the cable extension.
  • GB-A-2 427 056 , WO-A1-2004/038670 , US-A-5 796 337 and US-A1-2011/254661 disclose anti-theft systems according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • Object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems, by providing an anti-theft system with various safety levels, that guarantees a total, electronic and mechanic protection, of the products being exposed from any unlawful tampering or intrusion, providing combinations of different levels of protection.
  • the anti-theft system for products (not shown) of the invention is substantially composed of:
  • the sensor- and product-carrier device 100 is composed of a support 1, made of hard plastic material, like PVC, PMMA, or other suitable material, equipped with a related universal fastening system, preferably composed of a through-adapted 17 and a fastening nut 18.
  • the system is further provided also in an external configuration, namely without its integration onto the exhibition plane.
  • the system is inserted into a container (not shown).
  • a container (not shown).
  • Such container can be rested onto the plane without drilling it, but only fastened with screws or simply with high-held bi-adhesive material.
  • Batteries are accomodated in the container, sized in such a way as to guarantee the operation of the system also without main supply, that occurs through an external power supply.
  • On the container base there is a sensor that, in case of detachment of the container from the plane, will cause an optical-acoustic alarm. Such characteristic prevents stealing the product together with the support itself.
  • the support 1 is composed, in its upper part, of a sensor-carrier 2, preferably of a rectangular shape, on whose surface the product to be exposed is fastened, for example through bi-adhesives, main 4 and secondary 5 metallic jaws, DIN connection, and/or small nylon bands (not shown).
  • a passive infrared (PIR) movement sensor 6 is placed, that is able to pick-up small movements and interferences due to the possible intrusion of sharp objects, between product and sensor 6.
  • the above sensor 6 is integrated into a suitable electronic card, adequately fastened into the sensor-carrier 2 that has on its surface an hole 19, with suitable sizes, that allows the sensor to communicate with the exposed product.
  • the sensor-carrier 2 has, in its lower part, a pin 7, cylindrical or having another suitable shape, equipped with electric contacts (not shown) operating in order to recharge the battery (not shown), integrated into the sensor-carrier 2 and aimed for supplying the sensor 6 itself.
  • the support 1 further comprises, in its lower part, a shell 3, to which the sensor-carrier 2 is operatively connected, whose pin 7, equipped with electric contacts, is inserted into an housing cylinder 8, equipped with sliding contacts 13 and their related contact-holders 14, allowing to fasten the supply cable.
  • an upper ring 9 and a lower ring 10 are placed, both preferably made of copper, that guarantee, through a continuous contact with the sliding contacts 13, a supply to the device in any position in which the support 1 is placed into its shell 3.
  • the above supply system when the exposed product is not used, guarantees: - supply and recharge of the battery of the sensor 6 integrated into the sensor-carrier 2; - supply of the exposed product, by using an alarmed supply cable (not shown) equipped with connectors compatible with the micro-USB connector 11 of the sensor-carrier 2 and with the connector of the exposed product.
  • the correct cable positioning is checked through an electronic transmission (TX) card 16 integrated into the sensor-carrier 2; if external movements are made in order to remove such constraint, tampering is signalled by activating an acoustic alarm, through a suitable acoustic and optical signalling device (not shown), through a suitable LED-type lighting signalling device 15; - a steel cable (not shown), that allows safely handling the product, limiting it to the cable extension.
  • the above cable is fastened inside the pin 7 with a bush 12 and has an end connected through a screw-type connector (not shown) to the electronic card integrated into the sensor-carrier 2, and the other end fastened to the winding system (not shown) present in the shell 3, preventing dangerous cable entanglements when handling the product.
  • the cable can be coated with PVC or other suitable material, to reduce rough contacts with delicated products; moreover, it provides the device with various types of protection:
  • the anti-theft protection is of the electronic and mechanic types. The protection levels can be present in the sensor 6 individually or as multiple. The mechanical protection instead is guaranteed by the fact that the sensor 6 is constrained by the small steel cable 200 coated with PVC. The possible cutting of the cable is possible only with suitable instruments, such as cutting nippers or shears.
  • Such cable 200 guarantees a tearing resistance equal to 130 kg.
  • the small cable 200 is collected inside a cable-winding mechanism 300 with reduced sizes.
  • Il sensor- and product-carrier device 100 is preferably a part made of plastic material with a plane side on which the product to be exhibited / supplied / protected is rested.
  • the sensor-support 100 is integrated onto a shelf or piece of furniture ( Figures 2 and 3 ), using a set of brackets and accessories that allow its fastening onto any type of material: glass, wood, plastic fibres and plexiglass.
  • the support can be lifted and is constrained onto the base through the steel cable. This allows an handling that is always limited to the cable extension. In any case, the sensor-support 100 is placed again into its seat after every handling, thereby avoiding an unorderly display.
  • the product is constrained and/or protected with the modes described below. Such means can be present individually or as multiples.
  • the important features of this sensor is ensuring a mechanic and electronic protection that are mutually combined.
  • the high-level mechanic protection is given by the stainless steel jaws 4, 5.
  • Such jaws 4, 5 are adjustable to be suited to the different formats of the products to be protected but, above all, are equipped with an electronic alarm to avoid undesired openings.
  • the electronic protection in addition to the one integrated in the jaws 4, 5, is given by the presence of the high-safety sensor 6 that "sees" the presence of the product rested onto the sensor-support 100.
  • the sensor features are:
  • the upper part of the sensor houses a screw that is inserted in the connection that, in every apparatus, is aimed to fasten the tripod.
  • This connection is of the DIN-type, and therefore there are no compatibility problems.
  • the locking screw works on a printed circuit made in order to simulate a switch and, due to the presence of a washer made of phosphor bronze coupled with the screw thread, the contact is closed only when the screw is well tightened and is opened when ths latter one is loosened.
  • the profile of the screw head is "proprietary" as above. It is also provided to have the functionality of alarmed small nylon band. In fact, it can be important to surround the photographic apparatus with the small nylon band, thereby obtaining a second safety.
  • This small band makes it impossible to rotate the apparatus if somebody tries to detach it by rotating it. In fact, the small band also prevents the rotation, voluntary or not, of the apparatus on the support without loosening or cutting it.
  • the small nylon band can be wound around the objective, extending the protection also to this component. In fact, it will be enough to unscrew the optics in order to loosen the band tension and generate an alarm. The protection is thereby discrete, since the wire has a diameter of mm 1.2 that totally copies the rounded shape of the optics. This aspect makes it free from false alarms occurring in adhesive sensors that are normally used for this purpose. This advantage is essentially due to two reasons:
  • the sensor-carrier device 2 an electronic card is integrated, on which the components performing the various functions are assembled.
  • the sensor-support is connected to the "base” through a steel cable.
  • Such cable due to its construction and nature, is not able to transport supplies or other signals. Therefore, a supply had to be provided to allow such card to operate.
  • a rechargeable Li-Po battery is integrated in the sensor-support. This battery is aimed to supply all electronic components placed in the sensor-support.
  • the battery is recharged according to the modes described below. Particular care regarding various consumptions, absorptions and dispersions has allowed having a high-level operation also in battery mode. The performed tests ensure a 7-day autonomy.
  • the products exposed and fastened onto the device 100 must be supplied in order to operate and efficiently demonstrate their own features to a potential customer.
  • the sensor-support 100 is equipped with a connector to insert a small cable equipped with a compatible connector with the one as equipment for the exposed product.
  • a small cable equipped with a compatible connector with the one as equipment for the exposed product.
  • Such cable has, in addition to the supply function, also the alarm function in case of detachment.
  • the products to be supplied can require voltage and current values that are rather different one from the other.
  • the availability of high amperages is required, even near the 2 Ah value. It is therefore easily understandable that, transporting these values through a cable with copper conductors coming from the central unit that is not immediately nearby the sensors, means having cables with adequate sections; anyway, there are well defined limits connected to the maximum possible length and the risk of short-circuits and miscellaneous interruptions. For this reason, it has been avoided to transport the supply through the connection cable, and a different method has been applied.
  • the cable transports the frequency and nothing more, since its end is fastened into the rotating element of the cable-winding device only to guarantee the adequate mechanical holding and prevent the cable 200 from being easily detached from the fastening base 3.
  • an antenna of the coil type is fastened, that, in turn, is connected to an electronic card that has the function of receiver of the above frequency, in addition to all the components to product an optical and acoustic alarm.
  • Everything is based on the fact that the frequency emitted by the TX is always received by the RX card. When this does not occur, this means that the cable 200 has been cut or the connector unscrewed.
  • this card there is a connector for the power supply, as well as adequate back-up batteries to guarantee the operation also in case of black-out or supply sabotage.
  • this card receives all other signals related to "safeties" present on the TX (sensor-support), namely alarms due to the opening of the alarmed jaws, the detachment of the product from the support (presence sensor) and the detachment of the alarmed supply cable.
  • the system is of the stand-alone type: this means that it is able to operate individually, without being connected to other apparata.
  • the system activation is automatic and occurs when the product is applied onto the sensor-support 100 and the various safeties are "closed", being the alarmed jaws 4, 5, the small nylon band or the alarmed supply cable. After this, the system is active.
  • the system produces an acoustic alarm from a buzzer present on the RX card integrated on the cable-winding element 300, and an optical alarm through highly luminous LEDs placed in the support seat. In order to deactivate it, it is necessary to use a specific key with non-repeatable coding.
  • Such key is similar to a micro-USB pin and must be inserted into the micro-USB connector present in the sensor-support 100. This operation generates a code that, once recognised by the managing software, turns the alarm off and places the system in stand-by. It will remain as such till a new product will again be placed on the sensor-support 100.
