Definitions

  • the invention relates to an anti-theft device for goods, which is set up for attachment to goods to be protected, in particular textile products.
  • Anti-theft devices for goods have been used for many years in the area of department stores that are open to the public, since they can guarantee adequate protection with regard to unauthorized removal of goods offered there from the department store or from a limited sales area therein.
  • corresponding detector units are usually provided at all entrances and exits of the department store or respective limited sales areas therein, which are designed and intended to output an acoustic and / or visual warning signal if a customer has secured goods to which such a anti-theft device is attached, without authorization, i.e. without paying for it beforehand, attempts to remove it from the department store or sales area.
  • such anti-theft devices generally include a multi-part housing and a locking mechanism which has a needle which, in a locked state, engages with the goods to be secured in such a way that the anti-theft device cannot be removed from the goods to be secured, or at least not without destroying the goods to be secured.
  • a product anti-theft device for example, with a two-part housing, a first housing part is attached to the outside of the textile product and a second housing part is attached to a corresponding inside of the textile product and the part of the textile product located between the two housing parts is pierced with a needle previously attached to one of the two housing parts, for example, so that the needle is attached to the other of the two Housing parts can engage, whereby the textile product and the two housing parts are connected to each other via the needle.
  • unlocking devices are usually provided in the service or checkout area of a department store, which can usually only be operated by sales staff, which, for example, act magnetically or mechanically in some other way and are designed and intended for release the locking mechanism of the anti-theft device so that the needle can be removed from the anti-theft device and the two parts of the anti-theft device housing can be separated again.
  • the anti-theft devices that have been dismantled into their individual components are then often initially collected at the site of their dismantling and reused elsewhere at a later point in time by being reattached to other goods to be secured in the manner described above.
  • Such multi-part anti-theft devices are generally relatively inconvenient to handle, resulting in long handling times and thus economic disadvantages.
  • such goods anti-theft devices generally have dimensions of an order of magnitude that can be perceived as annoying, particularly when trying on textile products.
  • the pamphlet GB 11648A discloses an anti-theft device with the features of the preamble of claim 1. Also refer to the document WO 2008/153476 A1 pointed out.
  • this object is achieved by an anti-theft device according to claim 1 .
  • the anti-theft device according to the invention Due to the fact that the needle is accommodated in the release position in the housing, the anti-theft device according to the invention has a significantly reduced risk of injury compared to known anti-theft devices, since the needle is not released from the latter when the anti-theft device is opened, but is always connected to the anti-theft device remains so that the needle does not have to be handled as a separate component of the anti-theft device in an operational configuration of the anti-theft device, nor can it accidentally fall on the floor or otherwise be undesirably separated from the anti-theft device.
  • the needle In order to minimize the risk of injury during handling, provision is also made for the needle to be accommodated in the housing, preferably completely, in the release position.
  • the anti-theft device can be designed in one piece when ready for operation, with preferably all functional components of the anti-theft device being fitted in and/or attached to the single housing of the anti-theft device.
  • the locking mechanism according to the invention also includes a closure which is set up in such a way that it can be brought into a releasable engagement connection with the needle in order to secure the needle to be held in the locking position and, upon actuation by a release element associated with the closure, to allow their transfer into the release position.
  • the release element is also arranged in or on the housing of the anti-theft device.
  • the release element according to the present invention is at least partially made of a shape memory alloy.
  • a shape memory alloy for example, thermally and/or magnetically activatable shape memory alloys can be used, which are preferably designed in such a way that they have a rest or basic state in which the closure remains locked so that the needle is held in its locked position, and an excited state in which the shutter is actuated to allow transfer of the needle to the release position.
  • the locking mechanism can also include an actuating element which is set up to move the needle into the locking position following manual actuation by an operator.
  • an actuating element By providing such an actuating element, an operator can use one hand for handling the anti-theft device and actuating the actuating element during the assembly process, while the other hand remains free for handling the goods to be secured, in particular a textile product.
  • the needle is biased in the direction of its release position, preferably by means of a spring. It can thus be ensured that the needle can, if desired, be moved into its release position without any additional effort, for example by potential energy stored in a spring.
