[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a shoplifting crime prevention case having a crime prevention tag applied to a shoplifting crime prevention device such as a radio wave type or a magnetic type which is used mainly in a retail store or a rental store of small items.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, shoplifting crime prevention devices such as radio wave type and magnetic type have been used to prevent shoplifting of small products such as video tapes at retailers or rental stores. This shoplifting security device is configured to respond to a specified security tag, and if a customer carries a product with the security tag attached and passes through a gate at the door of a retail store or rental store, a warning is issued. It is designed to emit. Therefore, at shops or rental stores, shoplifting of products can be prevented by attaching security tags to the displayed products and removing the security tags when customers hand over the products to the reception desk. can do.

Conventionally, when such a security tag is attached to a product, for example, at a retailer of the product, a tag is put on the wrapping paper of the product, a tag is put inside the wrapping paper of the product, or a tag is directly attached to the product. The method of attaching was adopted. In addition, in the rental shops of products, methods such as directly attaching the tag to the product case or inserting the tag inside the product case were taken.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, of the above-mentioned conventional examples, when a tag is attached to the wrapping paper of a product, as in the case of a retail store, the tag cannot be reused, which requires a great running cost, and the tag can be easily attached. Since it can be peeled off or damaged, there was a problem of inducing shoplifting. Also, if the tag can be reused if it is placed inside the wrapping paper of the product, the tag can be easily removed by breaking the wrapping paper, so this is also less effective in preventing shoplifting. In addition, for attaching a tag directly to a product, for example, a pin for clothes that cannot be removed without using special tools is known, but this is limited to applications where the pin of clothes or the like is pierced. Therefore, it cannot be applied to products such as video tapes. If the tag is attached directly to the product, the product may be damaged because the tag is forcibly taken.

Further, when the tag is directly attached to the product case or the tag is put inside the product case as in the case of a rental shop, there are the same problems as described above. Moreover, especially at rental stores, since the products are not packaged, there were cases where the products were taken out of the case and only the products were shoplifted. It is also possible to wrap the product case and put a tag inside, but this also has the problem that a large running cost is required considering the re-packing of the product case and the consumption of packaged goods. It was

[0006] In rental shops, a method of directly attaching a tag to a product is popular, and a method of lending the product in a case or a bag for cutting off electromagnetic waves, or allowing only the customer to pass through the detection gate and then the product The method of handing over is taken. However, with both methods, the tags are easily damaged or peeled off, which causes a problem that shoplifting is easily induced. Furthermore, with the method of lending in a case or bag that blocks electromagnetic waves, products that are not accepted at the counter can pass without entering the sensing gate if they are put in such a blocking case or bag. There was also a problem that it was easy to induce shoplifting. In addition, if only the customer passes through the detection gate and then the product is passed, it will react even if the customer passes the shoplifting security device of another store with the product, and a similar shoplifting security device will be installed. There was a problem that it became impossible to use multiple stores. In shoplifting crime prevention devices, which have become very popular in recent years, such troubles have become a serious problem, and their solutions are urgently needed.

[0007] Also, a large case for storing products, which is designed in the United States and cannot be opened without using a special tool, is known, but this is a method of attaching a tag to the large case. However, if this is used, it is necessary to secure a large space for storing it in the reception counter, and because the display space is large, the number of products displayed in the store is also reduced. was there. In addition, some display shelves used in Japan are difficult to store such large cases.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to prevent a crime prevention tag from being easily removed or damaged and to easily remove a product. It is to provide a shoplifting crime prevention case that does not have tags and can reuse tags.

[0009]

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a crime prevention system using a crime prevention tag. Then, FIG. 1 shows a case where the crime prevention system is applied to a rental shop such as a video tape or a CD.

In FIG. 1, rental software with a security tag attached in advance is placed on a display shelf 100 placed in a rental store. Further, a gate 104 is provided in front of the receiving counter 102 in the store, and a radio wave type or magnetic type detection device is arranged at the gate 104. This detection device is a device that detects a security tag, and carries rental software with the security tag attached, and issues an alarm when a customer passes through the gate.

In the crime prevention system configured as described above, the software is rented and returned in the following procedure. That is, as shown by the arrow A, the customer takes the desired software from the display rack 100 and hands it over to the reception desk. In reception, the security tag is removed from the software handed over from the customer, and the software is rented out from the rental counter 106 to the customer. In this way, the customer receives the software with the security tag removed at the lending counter 106 and takes it home.

On the other hand, as indicated by the arrow C, if the user tries to take home the software with the security tag attached, the alarm is issued at the moment when the software passes through the gate 104, and shoplifting is prevented. In addition, when returning the rented software, the customer returns the software at the return counter 108, the security tag is attached to the software again in the counter, and it is returned to the display rack 100 as shown by an arrow D. .

In the above system, software is lent out and returned in this way. In this system, however, the tags attached to the software can be destroyed or the tags can be removed. If you pass through the gate after that, no alarm will be issued. An example of the shoplifting crime prevention case in which the tag cannot be easily broken or the tag cannot be easily removed and the product cannot be easily taken out will be described below. (1st Example) FIG. 2: is a perspective view which shows the structure of the crime prevention case of 1st Example.

In FIG. 2, the crime prevention case 10 is composed of a pair of case bodies 12a and 12b made of a synthetic resin material or the like. These case bodies 12a and 12b are connected at one side thereof by a hinge 14, It can be opened and closed in the direction of arrow A in the figure. A space is formed inside the case bodies 12a and 12b, and the product 16 is housed inside the case bodies 12a and 12b as shown in the drawing.

A pair of protrusions 18a and 18b having a substantially T-shaped cross section are integrally formed on the front surface of each of the case bodies 12a and 12b so as to extend in the vertical direction. Stoppers 22a and 22b are formed at the lower ends of the protrusions 18a and 18b to prevent a locking member 20 described later from falling off. Further, locking protrusions 24a, 24b having a substantially triangular shape in a side view are formed between the upper portions of the protrusions 18a, 18b, and the locking protrusions 24a, 24b are provided with a locking member 26 described later. Is locked so that it cannot be easily removed.

On the other hand, the locking member 20 for locking the case bodies 12a and 12b in the closed state has a length that is substantially the same as the height of the case 10 in the vertical direction (in the figure, it is shown as short for the sake of space). Is included in the strip-shaped member. The locking member 20 is provided with recesses 20a and 20b having a substantially T-shaped cross section that engage with the projections 18a and 18b. Then, by inserting the locking member 20 from above the convex portions 18a and 18b so that the concave portions 20a and 20b fit into the convex portions 18a and 18b, the case bodies 12a and 12b are locked in a closed state. To be done. Further, at the time of this insertion, the lower end of the locking member 20 abuts the stopper portions 22a and 22b, so that the locking member 20 does not slide downward and fall out. A security tag 21 is attached to the inner surface of the locking member 20 as shown in FIG.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the lock member 26 is made of a material such as synthetic resin in a strip shape shorter than the locking member 20, and like the locking member 20, the convex portions 18 a, It has recesses 26a and 26b having a substantially T-shaped cross section that engages with 18b. Then, by inserting the lock member 26 from above the convex portions 18a and 18b so that the concave portions 26a and 26b fit into the convex portions 18a and 18b, the lock member 26 is attached to the case bodies 12a and 12b. To be done. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the locking member 26 is integrally formed with two locking claws 26c and 26d, and the tips of the locking claws 26c and 26d are engaged with the locking projections 24a and 24b. By being caught, the lock member 26 is locked so that it cannot be easily removed from the case bodies 12a and 12b. As a result, the locking member 20 cannot be easily removed from the case bodies 12a and 12b.

The locked state of the lock member 26 is released by the tool 28. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the part of the unlocking claw 28a of the tool 28 is inserted into the lock member 26 from the notch 26e formed in the lock member 26, and the lock is released as indicated by the arrow. The locking claws 26c and 26d are hooked by the tip of the claw 28a to be released from the locking projections 24a and 24b, and the locked state is released.

As described above, in the crime prevention case of the first embodiment, by attaching the locking member to the case body and locking it with the lock member, the product cannot be taken out from the case. Since the security tag is attached to the inside of the locking member so that the security tag cannot be easily removed from the outside, shoplifting of products can be surely prevented. Second Embodiment FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the structure of the crime prevention case of the second embodiment.

In FIG. 5, the crime prevention case 30 is composed of a case body 32 having a space for storing products therein, and a lid 34 closing the upper part of the case body 32. The case main body 32 is formed of a material such as synthetic resin into a rectangular parallelepiped shape having an open upper surface, and a rectangular opening hole 32a for locking the lid 34 is formed in the upper portion of the side surface thereof. ing.

On the other hand, the lid 34 is similarly made of a synthetic resin or the like, and a locking claw 34a is formed on the lower surface thereof. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the tip of the locking claw 34a is caught by the upper edge of the opening hole 32a, so that the lid 34 is attached to the case body 32. When the lid 34 is attached to the case body 32 as described above, the lid 34 cannot be easily removed from the case body 32.

A tool 36 is used to remove the lid 34 from the case body 32. In other words, by inserting the release claw 36a of the tool 36 through the tool hole 34b formed in the lid 34, the tip end of the release claw 36a forms the slope 34c formed inside the locking claw 34a. The pushing and locking claws 34 are pushed open on both sides. In this state, by lifting the lid 34, the lid 34 is removed from the case body.

A crime prevention tag 38 is attached to the inside of the lid 34, and when the product is stored in the case 30 and is to be taken out of the store, the security tag 38 shown in FIG. An alarm is issued by the crime prevention system shown in. As described above, in the crime prevention case of the second embodiment, by attaching the lid to the case body, the product cannot be taken out from the case, and the crime prevention tag is attached to the inside of the lid. Since the security tag is also designed not to be easily removed from the outside, shoplifting of products can be reliably prevented.

The present invention can be applied to modifications and variations of the above embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the above-described first embodiment, it has been described that the convex portion is provided on the case main body side and the concave portion that engages with the convex portion is provided on the locking member side. On the contrary, the concave portion is provided on the case main body side. It goes without saying that the projection may be provided on the locking member side.

Further, in the second embodiment described above, the case where two locking claws are provided has been described, but the number of locking claws may be further increased. If the number of locking claws is increased, it is more difficult to open the lid without using a tool, which is preferable.
