Description

  The present invention relates to an attachment member, and more particularly to an attachment member used for locking and attaching both ends to a part of a product to suspend a tag or the like.

  Conventionally, attachment members, linear materials, etc., that pass through buttonholes of clothes as products, lock both ends through loop formation parts on rings, eyeglass frames, etc., and suspend tags displaying price, material, etc. 2. Description of the Related Art An attachment member that binds and locks and binds a loop forming portion is known.

  On the other hand, a magnetic reaction member used for preventing illegal take-out of goods, so-called shoplifting, is provided on the inner surface of a tag that is folded in two, and can easily pass through a detection gate due to peeling action, etc. However, the situation is not necessarily perfect.

  For this reason, recently, an IC chip that reacts to radio waves, particularly an IC chip pack in which an antenna is also enclosed, is provided on the inner surface of the tag instead of the magnetic reaction member described above.

However, even if a wireless IC chip is incorporated instead of the magnetic reaction member, it is still impossible to provide sufficient security measures because the tag can still be peeled off or removed manually. Reinforcing the tag itself is also difficult from an economic point of view.
Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-017758

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to secure an electronic device that reacts to radio waves so that it cannot be removed by manual work in order to increase the security effect. Alternatively, by narrowing down, it is realized in an attaching member for forming a loop to suspend a tag or the like, binding a linear material, or connecting a plurality of products.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention includes a receiving portion having a retaining portion formed therein at one end of a flexible loop forming portion, and is inserted into the receiving portion at the other end. In an attachment member having an insertion portion formed with an engagement portion that engages with the retaining latch portion, the loop forming portion, the receiving portion, a portion of the insertion portion, or each portion thereof An electronic device is fixed to a part of the display part provided integrally, and the electronic device described above is a wireless IC chip.

  Further, the present invention is characterized in that the loop forming portion is a stretched plastic fiber, a part of which is processed to have a larger capacity than the other part, and an electronic device is fixed to the large capacity part. The loop forming part is characterized in that a twisted yarn or a string is used, the loop forming part is characterized in that a metal wire is used, and the loop forming part is used in a ball chain. The loop forming portion described above is characterized in that a plastic band material having a ratchet continuously formed on one surface is used.

  Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that a conductive material is put in the loop forming portion and used as an antenna.

  As described above, in the present invention, an electronic device, particularly an IC chip, is fixed to a part of an attachment member that cannot be cut or unlocked manually unless a cutter is used. This improves the performance and is easy to manufacture, so that the product price can be reduced.

  Further, by using the loop forming portion as an antenna, it can be separated from the electronic device and can cope with the case where the radio frequency becomes high.

  Since the purpose of the present invention is to improve the security effect, it is preferable to form a concave hole in a relatively thick part constituting the attachment member and embed the electronic device. It is possible to avoid direct contact of the electronic device, and the presence of such an electronic device is fixed to an attachment member that cannot be manually removed from the product, thereby preventing the electronic device from being detached from the product. be able to.
