  • the tags In order for the security to work, the tags must be connected to the goods to be secured in such a way that they cannot be easily and unnoticed by unauthorized persons. In the case of clothing, for example, this is achieved by inserting a needle through the fabric and securing the tip of the needle with a lock, which requires special equipment to remove.

  • such tapes can also prevent the packaging from being opened.
  • the contents of the packaging are often not checked when purchasing. When you unpack it at home, it may turn out that the contents do not meet expectations. This may be caused by the packaging being opened during transport, in the warehouse or in the sales outlet and the goods contained therein being removed and possibly exchanged for another, usually inferior, product. It is also not uncommon for high-quality, expensive goods to be placed in packaging for cheaper goods in order to only have to pay the lower price of the cheaper goods at the checkout.

  • This embodiment of an adhesive label according to the invention has the advantage that the adhesive label can be attached to curved surfaces due to the flexibility of its base layer. It is attached to the object by sticking the label to its adhesive side, with a generally non-adhesive top side of the adhesive label facing upwards.
  • the security cable can be fixed to the object using the label by at least partially covering the cable with the label.

  • the at least one contact surface of the adhesive label can be electrically conductively connected via the adhesive layer to the at least one mating contact surface of the security cable with the lowest possible electrical resistance. Leakage currents, which could impair electrical monitoring by the safety device, are prevented from flowing along the adhesive layer along the fastening level.

  • the edges of the conductor track and contact surface can be slightly bent, resulting in the aforementioned curvature.
  • the at least one electrical conductor track and/or the at least one contact surface are embedded in the base layer.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the adhesive label has a very flat adhesive side that can adapt very well to curved and uneven surfaces. Air pockets between the adhesive side and the object and/or securing cable are avoided.
  • the adhesive label can rest as fully as possible on the object and/or security cable in order to ensure stable adhesion and close contact with the object.

Even if there were distortions in an edge area of the adhesive label, these could be in the area of the base layer that projects beyond the conductor track and/or the contact surface. This helps to ensure the most uninterrupted adhesive contact possible between the conductor track and/or the contact surface on the one hand and the mating contact surface of the security cable and the object on the other hand.
  • the base layer has at least one predetermined breaking line which crosses the at least one conductor track.
  • the at least one predetermined breaking line makes it easier for the adhesive label to tear along the predetermined breaking line when it is manipulated and/or when the security cable is manipulated and for the crack to continue across the conductor track, so that it is interrupted and the interruption can be detected with the aid of the security device.
  • the at least one predetermined breaking line or the predetermined breaking grid extends to an outer edge of the base layer.
  • the at least one conductor track is provided with at least one predetermined breaking point.
  • the at least one predetermined breaking point can be formed by scoring or cutting the at least one conductor track.
  • the at least one predetermined breaking point can be driven or scratched into a copper strip from which the conductor track and/or contact surface are or are formed.
  • the adhesive label it is provided that on the base layer there is a cable entry area on which the security cable is to be guided from the outside under the adhesive label, is formed with an indentation or recess which comprises at least one transition edge section which extends at least in sections towards the at least one conductor track.
  • the cable entry area can generally be shaped in such a way that it simplifies fixing the security cable relative to the adhesive label and the object. In order to be able to provide a certain strain relief, the cable entry area can be essentially free of predetermined breaking lines.
  • the indentation helps to precisely position the security cable relative to the adhesive label.
  • the transition edge section helps, when tensile forces act perpendicularly away from the adhesive label on the security cable, as can typically occur in the event of an attempt to steal, to encourage the security cable to be detached from the bond to the adhesive label.
  • the at least one transition edge section runs at least in sections at a transition angle of less than 40°, preferably less than 30°, towards an entry direction in which the security cable is to be guided under the adhesive label.
  • a transition angle i.e. in particular an acute angle between the transition section and the securing cable, promotes the securing cable being released from the bond by tensile forces directed vertically away from the adhesive label.
  • the transition edge section cannot hold the cable when such tensile forces occur.
  • an adhesive surface between the adhesive label and the cable tapers so sharply towards the temporal outer edges of the cable that they can easily detach from the object and the adhesive label. As soon as the cable reaches a vertex of the indentation, the adhesive label begins to tear from the vertex.

  • the conductor track can extend in an arc from the at least one contact surface to a further contact surface.

  • the at least one conductor track is deflected at at least one bend or at least one curve.
  • the conductor track can cross as large an area of the adhesive label as possible.
  • manipulation or damage to the adhesive label can be made detectable in as many sections of the label as possible. It can be particularly advantageous if the conductor track is crossed several times by predetermined breaking lines along its curved or kinked course.
  • the adhesive label has at least one further contact surface connected to the at least one conductor track, and that the at least one contact surface and the at least one further contact surface have different contours for coding.
  • the contact surfaces can have different outer contours. Due to the different outer contours, the contact surfaces can be easily distinguished from one another and assigned to the corresponding contact surfaces on the safety cable. This makes it easier to properly pair the adhesive label and security cable.
  • the solution according to the invention can be further improved in that the at least one mating contact surface is arranged in a film-like flexible connection section of the security cable. Due to the film-like design, the connection section can have a thickness of less than 1 mm and can therefore be easily fixed to an object to be secured using the adhesive label. The flexibility of the connection section allows the connection section to adapt to a surface contour of the object to be secured, just as the adhesive label does.
  • connection section is electrically connected to an extension section of the security cable, with a cross section of the connection section deviating from a cross section of the extension section.
  • the connection section can thus be optimized for attachment to the object.
  • the extension section on the other hand, can be optimized with a view to making it as easy to handle as possible and to ensure an inconspicuous appearance of the security cable.
  • the security cable can be designed with two wires and provided with two mating contact surfaces. Through the at least one conductor track of the adhesive label, the two wires of the security cable can be electrically connected to one another, i.e. short-circuited. This short-circuit connection can be used to detect manipulation or an attempted theft of an object to be secured.
  • the adhesive label, security cable and security device as a security arrangement make it possible for manipulation or an attempted theft of an object to be secured to be detected and displayed by means of the security device for monitoring the at least one conductor track and means for generating an alarm. Any loss of contact between the security cable and the adhesive label or between the security cable and an object to be secured leads to an interruption of an electrical connection between the two wires of the cable. This interruption can be detected by the security device, which consequently triggers an alarm.
  • the size and/or shape of the adhesive label and/or an adhesive layer for sticking the adhesive label to an object to be secured can be selected from a variety of different types of adhesive labels or adhesive layers depending on a surface quality of the object to be secured.
  • different types of adhesive labels can have different carrier layers, which on the one hand can be shaped differently and on the other hand can be made from different materials.
  • adhesive layers can be formed from different adhesives or adhesives.
  • adhesive tapes can also be used.
  • double-sided conductive adhesive tapes can be used.
  • Anti-slip films and/or rubber or Rubber-like films can be used between the adhesive label and the safety cable in order to be able to transfer tensile and torsional forces between them according to the respective requirements.
  • the electrical resistance under tension or torsion remains within a certain range, for example between 5 and 20 ohms, between 8 and 14 ohms or similar, so that the security device reliably protects against manipulation or theft attempts during normal handling of the device
  • changes in the electrical properties of the security cable and adhesive label as well as the connection between them can be distinguished.
  • the adhesive layer or an adhesive or adhesive tape may be removable from the object to be secured and/or the security cable without leaving any residue. This means that the value of the object to be secured is preserved and it is not affected by adhesive residue.
  • the safety cable can be reused because the adhesive can be removed without leaving any residue.
  • Adhesive label, security cable and/or adhesive layer can be provided ready for use in the production of a security arrangement according to the invention, i.e. as a unit that can be attached to an object to be secured.

  • the exemplary embodiment of the security cable 3 "has strain relief sections 35d in its connection section 35, which extend laterally away from the edge section 35c on both sides of the connection section 35.
  • the strain relief sections 35d are arranged in an area of the adhesive label 4 'that is free of predetermined breaking lines 41.
  • the tongue-like strain relief sections 35d expand the adhesive area 44 to the side of the connection section 35 transversely to the longitudinal axis L and help forces, in particular tensile forces, acting on the connection section 35 parallel to the transverse direction Y from the direction of the initial section 35a, from the securing cable 3" to the adhesive label 4′′′ transferred without them becoming detached from one another or shifting relative to one another along the transverse direction Y.
  • the strain relief sections 35d can thus compensate for the stability of the connection between the security cable 3′′ and the adhesive label 4′′′ along the longitudinal direction X and transverse direction Y. In other words, the strain relief section 35d contributes to ensuring that the connection between the security cable 3′′ and the adhesive label 4′′′ has essentially the same stability in the longitudinal direction X and transverse direction Y.
  • the adhesive label 4′′′ measured parallel to the longitudinal axis L, is shorter than the adhesive label 4′′ described above.
  • At least some of the predetermined breaking lines 41 of the adhesive label 4′′′ are dimensioned such that they extend from the edge 40c to over the conductor track 43.
  • the predetermined breaking lines 41 coincide with predetermined breaking points 41c attached to the conductor track 43.
  • predetermined breaking lines 41 and/or predetermined breaking points 41c intersect the conductor track 43 at least partially transversely to the course of the conductor track 43.
  • Fig. 12 shows a schematic top view of the safety cable 3".
  • the strain relief sections 35d are arranged in the longitudinal direction X in front of the head section 35b and extend from the edge section on both sides of the connection section 35 35c in or against the transverse direction Y.
  • the strain relief sections 35d thus form a hammerhead-like shape. Similar to the head section 35b, transitions between the strain relief section 35d and the edge section 35c are rounded in order to prevent the connection section 35 from tearing at the transitions.
  • Fig. 12 shown how in the transition section 34 of the security cable 3" the initial section 35a of the connection section 35 is received in the transparently shown encapsulation member 34a and connected to the extension section 33 of the security cable 3".
