"Procédé de protection d'objets contre le vol et objets ainsi protégés""Method of protecting objects against theft and objects thus protected"
Les présente invention concerne un procédé de protection contre le vol d'objets présents dans des locaux tels que des The present invention relates to a method of protection against theft of objects present in premises such as
ateliers de production, des entrepôts ou des magasins. production workshops, warehouses or shops.
De nombreuses solutions ont été proposées jusqu'ici pour éviter les vols d'objets par des consommateurs ou des employés malveillants. Ces solutions consistent en général à apposer sur les objets des dispositifs antivols comportant par exemple des pistes magnétiques, des circuits inductifs, Many solutions have been proposed so far to prevent theft of objects by malicious consumers or employees. These solutions generally consist in affixing anti-theft devices to objects comprising, for example, magnetic tracks, inductive circuits,
des émetteurs/récepteurs, etc...transmitters / receivers, etc ...
Les dispositifs antivols actuels ne donnent toutefois pas pleinement satisfaction. Ils sont en effet souvent encombrants, onéreux et peu esthétiques. Ils sont en outre généralement inadaptables sur des objets de petites dimensions. Les dispositifs actuels peuvent par ailleurs être enlevés la plupart du temps relativement facilement, de sorte que les objets ne bénéficient finalement que d'une protection illusoire. Lorsqu'ils sont intégrés dans les objets au point de ne pouvoir en être séparés, ils assurent par contre une protection permanente interdisant que les objets acquis licitement puissent être réintroduits ultérieurement sur les Current anti-theft devices are not fully satisfactory, however. They are indeed often bulky, expensive and unattractive. They are also generally unsuitable for small objects. Current devices can also be removed most of the time relatively easily, so that the objects ultimately only benefit from illusory protection. When they are integrated into objects to the point of not being able to be separated from them, they provide permanent protection, on the other hand, prohibiting that legally acquired objects can be reintroduced later on.
lieux dont ils sont issus.places they come from.
Enfin, lorsque les objets sur lesquels les dispositifs actuels sont apposés sont disposés intentionnellement à l'intérieur d'un vêtement, d'un porte-documents, etc..., ou emballés dans un étui quelconque, ces dispositifs sont en général inefficaces, le matériau dans lequel les objets sont disposés constituant un écran empêchant toute possibilité de détection. La présente invention se propose de remédier à ces différents inconvénients et, pour ce faire, elle concerne un procédé de protection contre le vol d'objets, qui se caractérise en ce qu'il consiste à incorporer aux objets une matière radioactive inoffensive pour l'homme et ayant une radioactivité diminuant, pendant la période de protection recherchée, jusqu'à un seuil minimal au-dessous duquel elle Finally, when the objects on which the current devices are affixed are intentionally placed inside a garment, a document holder, etc., or packed in any case, these devices are generally ineffective, the material in which the objects are placed constituting a screen preventing any possibility of detection. The present invention proposes to remedy these various drawbacks and, to do this, it relates to a method of protection against theft of objects, which is characterized in that it consists in incorporating into the objects a radioactive material harmless for the man and having radioactivity decreasing, during the protection period sought, up to a minimum threshold below which it
n'est plus détectable dans les locaux contenant les objets. is no longer detectable in the premises containing the objects.
Le procédé conforme à l'invention permet de protéger contre le vol des objets ayant des formes et des dimensions quelconques, tout en évitant l'installation sur ces objets de The method according to the invention makes it possible to protect objects of any shape and size against theft, while avoiding the installation on these objects of
dispositifs d'identification encombrants et inesthétiques. bulky and unsightly identification devices.
Il permet par ailleurs d'assurer une protection pendant une durée prédéterminée correspondant à la période de temps pendant laquelle les objets sont susceptibles de séjourner dans un local donné, ce qui autorise la réintroduction ultérieure dans le local des objets licitement acquis antérieurement. Il rend en outre possible la détection des objets lorsque ceux-ci sont dissimulés, par exemple dans des vêtements, des porte-documents, des étuis, etc... ou emballés dans des It also makes it possible to ensure protection for a predetermined duration corresponding to the period of time during which the objects are likely to remain in a given room, which authorizes the subsequent reintroduction into the room of objects lawfully acquired previously. It also makes it possible to detect objects when they are hidden, for example in clothes, briefcases, cases, etc ... or wrapped in
matériaux très divers.very diverse materials.
On notera ici que la matière radioactive peut être incorporée au matériau constituant les objets, lors de la fabrication de ceux- ci, ou ultérieurement lors d'un It will be noted here that the radioactive material can be incorporated into the material constituting the objects, during their manufacture, or subsequently during a
traitement complémentaire.additional treatment.
Lorsque les objets à protéger contre le vol sont imprimés à l'aide d'une ou de plusieurs matières d'impression, la matière radioactive peut avantageusement être introduite dans When the objects to be protected against theft are printed using one or more printing materials, the radioactive material can advantageously be introduced into
au moins une matière d'impression.at least one printing material.
Dans le cas o les objets à protéger sont revêtus d'une couche de matériau de protection, la matière radioactive pourrait alors être introduite uniquement dans le matériau de protection. Selon un mode de mise en oeuvre préféré du procédé conforme à l'invention, la matière radioactive incorporée aux In the case where the objects to be protected are coated with a layer of protective material, the radioactive material could then be introduced only into the protective material. According to a preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention, the radioactive material incorporated into the
objets à protéger se présente sous la forme d'une poudre. objects to be protected are in the form of a powder.
Avantageusement, la matière radioactive est un radionucléide à courte vie pouvant être choisi dans le groupe comprenant 99T, 90Y, 198AU, 186RE, 111In, 201Th, 67Ga, 133Xe, 69Er, Advantageously, the radioactive material is a short-lived radionuclide which can be chosen from the group comprising 99T, 90Y, 198AU, 186RE, 111In, 201Th, 67Ga, 133Xe, 69Er,
32p 51Cr, 192Ir, 170Tm, 57Co.32p 51Cr, 192Ir, 170Tm, 57Co.
On trouvera dans le tableau ci-dessous la période des radionucléides précités: The period of the above-mentioned radionuclides is given in the table below:
RADIONUCLEIDES PERIODERADIONUCLEIDES PERIOD

pendant une durée prédéterminée différente. for a different predetermined duration.
La mise en oeuvre du procédé conforme à l'invention peut être assurée facilement moyennant l'installation, dans le local dans lequel les objets sont susceptibles de séjourner pendant une période de temps prédéterminée, d'au moins un dispositif de détection pourvu de moyens de mesure de la radioactivité ne permettant l'émission d'un signal de détection que si la valeur de la radioactivité reste The implementation of the method according to the invention can be easily ensured by installing, in the room in which the objects are likely to stay for a predetermined period of time, at least one detection device provided with means of radioactivity measurement allowing the emission of a detection signal only if the radioactivity value remains
supérieure ou égale au seuil minimal prévu. greater than or equal to the minimum threshold provided.
Les moyens de mesure utilisés pourraient bien entendu être réglables en fonction du seuil minimal choisi de façon à assurer une protection dont la durée dépendrait du temps de The measuring means used could of course be adjustable as a function of the minimum threshold chosen so as to provide protection the duration of which would depend on the time of
séjour des objets dans un local prédéterminé. objects stay in a predetermined room.
On conçoit aisément que le procédé selon l'invention permet de protéger des objets quelconques contre le vol. Parmi les objets concernés, on indiquera à titre d'exemples nullement limitatifs les billets de banque, les timbres poste, les valeurs fiduciaires, les chèques, les cartes de crédit, les cartes de paiement, les cartes de téléphone, les cartes d'accès contrôlés, etc..., cette liste n'étant It is easily understood that the method according to the invention makes it possible to protect any objects against theft. Among the objects concerned, banknotes, postage stamps, fiduciary values, checks, credit cards, payment cards, telephone cards, access cards will be given as non-limiting examples. controlled, etc ..., this list not being
évidemment pas exhaustive.obviously not exhaustive.
