Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of anti-theft product. It is intended to protect items available for free distribution, for example on supermarket shelves.
  • Such articles are well known and generally comprise a plastic body which can be fixed on the article to be protected against shoplifting.
  • This body contains a means of detection interacting with a gantry disposed at the exit of the point of sale.
  • a magnetic locking system prevents the body from being opened and the anti-theft device removed from anyone who does not have the appropriate unlocker.
  • the invention relates more particularly to the field of anti-theft devices intended for packaging having a groove for a peripheral rib such as a drink can, a can, or even a bottle whose neck is provided with an annular ring.
  • a first family of solutions relates to anti-theft devices having a strap which can surround part of the article to be protected.
  • European patent application EP 2734696 describes an anti-theft device comprising a ring, means for locking the ring in the closed position, and anti-theft detection means.
  • the ring comprises a body which has a first end close to which the locking means are associated, a second free opposite end intended to be introduced into the locking means, and at least one circular part extending from the second end and intended to cooperate with said locking means.
  • the body of the ring comprises a linear part arranged as an extension of the circular part opposite the second end.
  • the linear part imposes an additional elasticity on the device participating in the ejection of the second end of the ring from the locking means.
  • the patent has been a precursor in another approach where the anti-theft device is in the form of a hollow body having a cavity of complementary shape to a part of the article to be protected in order to cap it.
  • the French patent FR2735751 describes such an anti-theft device for an article having a substantially cylindrical end provided with a substantially annular bulge, for example a bottle or a vial. It consists of a removable body comprising means capable of enclosing, in the closed position, said cylindrical end and a locking means to prevent the opening of said means without the use of a specific tool.
  • the body is formed by a substantially tubular element having a diameter greater than the diameter of the annular bulge provided with a member movable relative to the tubular element between a closed position in which it delimits a section smaller than the section of the annular bulge and an unlocking position in which it defines a section greater than the section of the annular bulge.
  • the security tag includes two sections which are pivotally connected to first section ends and the sections include outwardly extending semicircular flanges.
  • One of the two sections has a security label.
  • a removable pin of a locking mechanism locks the respective pin receptacles of each section together.
  • the flanges are coupled to the lower edge of one of the ends of a container on which the closure of the free ends of the two sections on a hinge causes the pin to be locked via the pin receptacles.
  • the only way to remove the pin and therefore free the security label from the container is to position the security label / container assembly near a suitable size magnet available at a point of sale in a retail store. retail. Failure to remove the security tag before leaving the retail store will result in the integrated electronic components detecting the security tag and triggering an alarm or other warning device.

  • the protuberance has an upper surface complementary to the lower surface of the articles to be protected to allow stacking of protected articles.
  • the movable shell has a tooth engaging, in the closed position, in a complementary cavity provided on the protuberance.
  • the protuberance and the housing form a bearing surface of the lower surface of the articles to be protected.
  • the anti-theft device according to the invention is described in the following according to a particular example of implementation for the protection of metal cans.
  • It consists of a movable molded shell (100) and a fixed molded shell (200).
  • the two shells are joined by a pivot (250) engaged in protrusions (131, 241) provided at the peripheral edge of the shells (100, 200).
  • the two shells (100, 200) each have a skirt respectively (101, 201) of semi-tubular shape, to match the outer surface of the article (1) to be protected.
  • Each of these skirts (101, 201) has on its inner surface a peripheral shoulder respectively (102, 202) capable of coming to bear against a shoulder surrounding the upper part of the article to be protected.
  • These shoulders can be formed by molding. They can also be formed by attachments intended to be placed in a housing provided for this purpose in the skirts (101, 201).
  • the fixed shell (200) has a generally cylindrical shape, the cross section of which corresponds to the cross section of the article (1) to be protected.
  • the fixed shell (200) has two transverse walls (203, 204) which are full in the example described. They may also have lights to lighten the anti-theft device.
  • the upper transverse wall (204) is however preferably full in order to completely seal the device and prevent access to the can cover and to the opening ring.
  • transverse walls (203, 204) define between them a cavity (205) with a height of 5 to 10 millimeters, closed on the side opposite to the movable shell (100) by a peripheral border and open on the side of the movable shell (100) by a slot allowing the penetration of the movable shell.
  • the movable shell (100) is housed in this cavity (205).
  • the fixed shell (200) has a skirt (201) extending over half of the periphery of the article (1) to be protected, on the side opposite to the movable shell (100).
  • This peripheral skirt (201) has on its inner surface a peripheral shoulder (202) which engages under the shoulder (2) surrounding the upper edge of the article (1).
  • This shoulder (2) may be constituted by a peripheral groove or by the upper surface of a peripheral groove.
  • the upper surface of the fixed shell (200) has a protuberance (210).
  • This protuberance (210) defines a housing for receiving the detection means (211), in the present example a tuned ferrite.
  • the detection means in the present example a tuned ferrite.
  • any means known detection, magneto acoustic, electromagnetic or radio frequency can be used, for example a label carrying a tuned LC circuit or an RFID label.
  • the detection means is distant from the surface of the article to be protected by a distance of more than 5 millimeters and preferably more than 10 millimeters. This distance limits the disturbances caused by the metallic mass on the operation of the radio frequency detection. This distance results from the height of the cavity (205) and the plates (203, 204) and possibly from a base provided in the protuberance (210).
  • the protuberance (210) is closed by a cover (213) welded or glued, or even snapped. It is also possible to inject a coating resin after introduction of the detection means.
  • the upper part of the protuberance has a groove (224) complementary to the lower surface of the articles to allow stacking of several protected articles as illustrated by the figure 4 .
  • the protuberance (210) forms a stud covering a little more than half of the upper surface, with a groove (22 ') to ensure the stability of the next article during stacking.
  • the upper surface of the fixed shell (200) comprises, in addition to the protuberance (210) having a groove (224), a shoulder having a bearing surface (225) to provide an additional bearing surface for the bottom of the stacked article.
  • the extension (220) guides a plastic cage (214) closing the housing of the counterweight and its spring by non-removable snap-fastening. This plastic cage also guides the flyweight.
  • This cage (214) actuates a locking rod (216) whose end (217) engages in a complementary housing (136) provided on the movable shell (100) to block the relative movement of the two shells (100, 200) when they are in the closed position, with the movable shell (100) engaged in the cavity (205) of the fixed shell (200).
  • the movable shell (100) has a transverse body formed by a transverse plate (103) which can be solid or perforated, and which has stiffeners (104, 105) extending diametrically.
  • the transverse plate (103) is surrounded by a peripheral border, the height of which corresponds to the height of the cavity (205) of the fixed shell, on the side facing this fixed shell (200). This border has a slightly higher height to cover the field of the plates (203, 204) of the fixed shell (200) and to prevent an interstitial slot allowing the introduction of a blade.
  • This border is extended by a tooth (120) defining a shoulder directed towards the article (1).
  • This tooth (120) engages, in the closed position, in a complementary cavity (235) to improve the resistance against an attempt to separate the two shells in the locked position.
  • the movable shell (100) has a skirt (101) extending over half of the periphery of the article (1) to be protected to form, with the skirt (201) of the fixed shell (200), a belt completely surrounding the upper peripheral edge of the article (1) to be protected.
  • This skirt (201) also has a shoulder (202) which engages in the peripheral rib (2) of the article to be protected (1).
