Background and Summary of the Invention

It is known by all in general the large number of robbery, robbery and similar situations that occur in commercial establishments of all kinds, perpetrated by people who use very different devices and methods: access to the premises with weapons or other intimidating means for people from the interior, blows with the back of vehicles against shop windows (what is commonly known as "moon landing"), blows against the windows of the windows with maces or other blunt tools, access to the interior of the premises by the method of the butrón, ... , etc. In all cases, the worst situations are experienced when the situation of robbery or robbery is carried out by people inside, whether they are people in charge of caring for the premises or in the case that clients or other personnel are also present.

Especially in the case of theft of items contained in shop windows, jewelery shops are the main target of robbers and robbers, in which said items displayed in the shop window reach a substantial value and therefore, in a minimum space of time from from the breakage of the protective glass, they can access a booty of great importance, even if they only manage to catch a small number of items.

In such situations, the affected traders have resorted to all types of instruments and devices of the

commercially existing, either surveillance and control devices installed in the premises or space to be protected, or by resorting to the protection offered by the physical presence of more or less specialized personnel, belonging to security companies in charge of this type of services.

However, in spite of the efforts derived from the installation of means and / or the hiring of people who guarantee, as far as possible, adequate protection against such actions, in many cases of great violence, there is no It has managed to provide a definitive solution to the problem, since in most cases the people who carry out the action of the robbery or robbery, carry the hidden features and once the robbery is perpetrated, it is very difficult, if not practically impossible, identification by state security forces. Even sometimes, even if the security forces have managed to detain the culprits, it is very difficult to prove that it has been those people who have carried out the action.

Description of a Preferred Embodiment

As mentioned above, the detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the object of the invention will be carried out in the following with the help of the attached drawings, through which Equal numerical references are used to designate equal or equivalent parts. Thus, in the first place according to the representation of Figure 1, a schematic representation of a showcase indicated in general with reference 1, container of a multiplicity of varied articles 2 of different values, in whose shop window the device has been installed of protection proposed by the invention for the protection of said articles. One or more sensors 3 may be attached to the window of the window, these sensors being able to detect vibrations in case a strong blow is provided to the glass. An example of a vibration detector sensor could be a sensor of the type that includes a ball closing an electrical circuit and that as a consequence of the vibrations, experiences a succession of small highs that cause the circuit to be interrupted a number of times per unit of time , the signals generated by this sensor (s) being to a receiving device 4 intended to receive and interpret said signals generated by the sensor (s) 3.

As stated above, the storefront may additionally include other sensors, such as volumetric, presence sensors, installed in any position and that are activated when they detect that a person, or a member thereof, moves for the space covered by the radius of action of the sensor.

The device also includes a multiplicity of small diffuser devices, generally indicated with reference 5, attached to the roof of the window and preferably aligned along the length of the latter. These diffuser devices 5 are provided to disperse a liquid composition stored in a container tank (not visible in the Figure), which may well be located in the upper part of the window, for example supported by a false ceiling or in any other position, and in fluid communication with each of said diffusers 5 by means of suitable conduits (not visible in the Figure). The operation of the small diffuser devices 5 is controlled from the receiving device 4 to which they are electrically connected.

The operation of the device incorporated in the window 1 shown schematically in Figure 1, is easy to understand and highly practical and effective in terms of the physical protection it provides. Indeed, when a blow of some kind occurs on the window of the window, for example a blow with a utensil such as a "Thousand mallet with the obvious intention of breaking the glass, this action of knocking and breaking produces a vibration that is detected by sensor 3, thereby generating the corresponding electrical signals that are fed to receiver 4. The situation is more clearly represented in Figure 2 of the drawings that are

accompany.

From that moment, or after a short time, the receiving means 4 determines the activation of the small diffusers 5, causing them to open and spray sprays 6 that are projected into the window. At that time, a person "P" carrying the instrument with which he provided the blow for the glass breakage that has either been completely inserted inside the window of the window as shown in Figure 2, or has simply introduced one or both arms, is irrigated with the liquid composition that produces the spots on the skin that remain, as said, perfectly visible for a period previously established between several hours and several days, thus facilitating its recognition by The competent authority. Of course, the application of a conjugate composition causes the stain to disappear, without causing any damage to the health of the stained person, while if such a conjugate composition is not applied, the spots disappear by themselves after the period has elapsed. of their duration.

As stated above, the invention is applicable in an alternative embodiment to the protection of a different space, such as

is

the space of a shop or similar. For it, the

description

previous is perfectly applicable to the

realization
