Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a book (hereinafter simply referred to as a "book") 1A with an anti-theft function according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the book 1A, reference numeral 2 is a book main body having a cover 3 and a body content 4. A sheet-shaped tag 6 is provided on the inner surface of the back 3a of the cover 3 of the book body 2. The tag 6 is made of, for example, a magnetic material such as an extremely thin metal.

  The book 1A as described above is bound in the following manner. That is, in FIG. 2, reference numeral 3 ′ is a cover material to be the cover 3. The manufacturing process up to the cover material 3 'is the same as the conventional one. The tag 6 is temporarily attached to the back side of the cover material 3 ′, that is, the inner surface of the book body 2, which is to be the back 3 a of the book body 2, using an adhesive 7. Here, the adhesive 7 is the same as the adhesive used in the case process described later.

  Subsequent to the above steps, a so-called case work for attaching the contents 4 to the cover material 3 'is performed according to a usual method. In the case-wrapping step, as shown in FIG. 3, the adhesive 4 is sufficiently applied to the ears 4a and the facing portion 4b of the body 4 of the body and then combined with the cover material 3 'supplied on the body 4 of the body. The two are pressed by a press (not shown).

  Thereafter, the book 1A is completed by removing it from the press machine and performing similar operations such as curing, inspection, and finishing by natural drying.

  In the book 1A, when a person tries to leave the book 1A in the above-described state and passes through an electromagnetic field formed by an electromagnetic wave generation source at an exit of a store or a library, the electromagnetic field is changed by the tag 6 made of a magnetic material. (For example, an electromotive force is generated). Alternatively, passing through the alternating magnetic field generates harmonics of the alternating magnetic field. Therefore, by detecting such a change in the electromagnetic field, the buzzer can be sounded or the exit door can be closed based on the signal from the detection device, thereby preventing shoplifting or unauthorized removal of the book 1A. be able to.
