JP2000235680A - Anti-theft method for exposed sales article - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an anti-theft method for exposed sales articles by which anti-theft countermeasures are easily applied and the takeout of an unpaid article is easily discovered. SOLUTION: In this anti-theft method, magnetism and radiation are always emitted from a seal 1 on which a bar code is displayed, the seal 1 is stuck to the exposure sales article, and the magnetism is erased when the price of the article is paid, thereby detecting both of the magnetism and radiation emitted from the article or only the radiation by a detector provided at the exit of a store for detecting both of the magnetism and the radiation. In the method, the seal 1 may directly be printed on the article.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for preventing the sale of displayed products from being stolen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional method of preventing theft of sold products, a product to be sold is displayed with an antitheft member attached, and a customer purchases the product and pays it at a cash register.
A clerk removed the anti-theft member. Thereafter, the customer holding the product receives an anti-theft check. At this time, if the product is taken out with the anti-theft member attached, a buzzer or the like emits a warning sound or lights up in response to the anti-theft device, thereby preventing the unpaid sales products from being taken out. Met.

[0003]

However, the above-described method for preventing theft of commodities to be displayed and sold does not allow the antitheft member to be easily removed and taken off when the anti-theft member is attached to the product for sale. I needed to. Therefore, since the anti-theft member is firmly attached to the product to be displayed and sold, it takes time and effort to attach the anti-theft member, and it is troublesome and troublesome when the clerk removes the anti-theft member, and Special tools and the like must be prepared, and the counter is crowded while the clerk removes the anti-theft member.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for preventing theft of displayed products for sale, which can take antitheft measures without any trouble and can easily detect the removal of unpaid goods.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. That is, a sticker displaying a bar code always emits magnetism and radiation, and the sticker is displayed and sold. Affixed to the product and erase the magnetism when paying for the product, a detector provided at the exit of the store that detects both magnetism and radiation, and detects both magnetism and radiation emitted from the product or only radiation A method to prevent theft of merchandise on display. Further, a product in which the seal is directly printed on a product may be used.

[0006]

FIG. 1 is a view showing a seal used in an embodiment of the present invention. First, the numbers in the figure will be described. (1) is a sticker attached or printed on the side of the product (5) to be displayed (see FIG. 2). (2) is a bar code displayed on the seal (1). (3) is a seal
(1) A magnetic powder coated portion provided on the upper half of the magnetic powder coated portion. The magnetic powder coated portion (3) is a method implemented by a magnetic tape or a magnetic card, for example, a magnetic powder coated layer is provided thereon. It may be magnetized so that magnetism is always generated. (4) is a seal
(1) a radioactive powder coating portion provided by applying to the lower half,
This radioactive powder coated part (4) is made of a luminescent paint (JIS K567).
The radionuclide contained in 1) may be dispersed in a synthetic resin in the form of a powder, and the synthetic resin may be applied and provided. The radionuclide includes tritium, promethium-147,
One of radium-226 may be used. The method of providing the magnetic powder coating part (3) and the radioactive powder coating part (4) is as follows.
The coating may be performed not only in half in the vertical direction but also in half in the horizontal direction. Note that the radiation intensity is used after being set to a value applied to a luminescent paint or the like, that is, a specified value that does not cause any trouble even when used daily.

Next, a method for preventing theft of merchandise for sale according to the present invention will be described. Barcode as shown in Figure 1 in advance
A seal (1) provided with a magnetic powder coating portion (3) and a radioactive powder coating portion (4) so as to display (2) and always emit magnetism and radiation is prepared. ) To the product (5)
Affix it to the side. At this time, the product (5) may be a product in which the seal (1) is printed from the beginning without attaching the seal (1) to the side surface. An anti-theft device is provided at the exit of the store. The anti-theft device may be any device provided with a detector such as a magnetic sensor or a Geiger-Muller counter tube and having a function of detecting both magnetism and radiation. First, the product (5) provided with the seal (1)
Is displayed in a predetermined place. Next, the products displayed by the customer
When purchasing (5), bring the product (5) to the cash register and pay the price. Thereafter, the clerk applies the seal (1) to the demagnetizing device to erase the magnetism of the magnetic powder coating unit (3). Then, only radiation is emitted from the seal (1). Next, when the customer returns, the detector of the anti-theft device provided at the exit of the store detects only radiation emitted from the purchased product (5) and does not react to the anti-theft device. However, at this time, the goods for display sale (5) that were taken out without payment at the cash register were not erased, so when they were taken out and passed through the detector, both the magnetism and the radiation were detected. Is detected, the anti-theft device reacts and a buzzer or the like emits a warning sound or lights up. Therefore, the removal of the unpaid displayed product (5) can be found, and the removal of the unpaid product (5) can be prevented.
Theft prevention becomes possible.

[0008]

The present invention having the above-described structure has the following effects.

When the sticker (1) on which the barcode (2) is displayed as described in claim 1 always emits magnetism and radiation, the sticker is attached to the product (5), and the price of the product (5) is paid. A detector that detects both magnetism and radiation at the exit of the store, and detects both magnetism and radiation emitted from the product (5) or only the radiation. Therefore, when both magnetism and radiation are detected, it is known that the item is unpaid, and when only radiation is detected, it is known that the item has been paid. , Theft can be prevented.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the half of the seal (1) is provided with the magnetic powder coating part (3) and the other half of the seal is provided with the radioactive powder coating part (4), so that the conventional anti-theft protection is provided. The members can be easily attached and erased without any trouble in attaching and removing the members, so that the time for waiting the customer at the cash register can be reduced.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the seal (1) is
By printing directly on (5), there is no danger that the sticker (1) is peeled off and carried, and the anti-theft check can be performed reliably.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a radioactive powder coating portion (4) is provided.
However, by dispersing the radioactive nuclides contained in the luminescent paint in a powdery form in a synthetic resin, and applying the synthetic resin to provide,
It is possible to easily provide the radioactive powder coating portion (4) on the surface of the seal (1), and it is possible to easily determine whether or not the product is stolen.

As the radionuclide provided in the radioactive powder coating portion (4), tritium and promethium-1 are provided.
47, by using one of the radium-226,
Because it is a radionuclide used in IS standard luminescent paint, it is easy to obtain even a special radionuclide,
(1) Radiation can be easily emitted.
