Definitions

  • the invention relates to an anti-shop-lifting device, intended to be passed onto and locked to a bottle-neck having an external circumferential bead.
  • EP-B1-0 688 390 describes an anti-shop-lifting device to be locked to a bottle-neck having an external circumferential bead, comprising an inner socket to be passed onto the bottle-neck, an outer socket mounted externally on the inner socket and displaceable axially thereof, retainers distributed circumferentially on the inner surface of the outer socket, which extend into the inner socket through openings in the wall thereof to engage behind the bead, and latch means which in a latching position lock the inner socket against displacement in relation to the outer socket in a position preventing movement of the retainers from said engaged position to prevent the anti-shop-lifting device from being removed from the bottle-neck.
  • the retainers comprise spring blades which in the locked position extend obliquely towards the mouth of the bottle engaging the surface of the bottle.
  • Bottles for champagne or other sparkling wines usually have the upper portion of the bottle covered by a tinfoil coating which is easily damaged by the spring blades. A bottle with champagne or the like having a damaged tinfoil coating is not accepted by the customer.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide an anti- shop-lifting device which can be used on bottles with a tinfoil coating without damaging such coating, and this purpose is achieved by an anti-shop-lifting device of the kind referred to above having the characterizing features defined in claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 is an axial cross-sectional view of the anti- shop-lifting device in an unlocked position
  • FIG. 2 is a corresponding axial cross-sectional view of the anti-shop-lifting device in a locked position
  • FIG. 3 is a transverse cross sectional view of an inner socket
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of the socket in FIG 3
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a retainer ring
  • FIG. 6 is an axial cross-sectional view of the retainer ring
  • FIG. 7 is a view of a strip of spring steel included in the anti-shop-lifting device, shown in a flattened condition
  • FIG. 8 is an axial cross sectional view of an outer socket of the anti-shop-lifting device
  • FIG. 9 is a transverse cross sectional view taken along line B-B in FIG 8.
  • the disclosed anti-shop-lifting device in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1-9 comprises a circular cylindrical inner socket 10 of rigid plastics, which is closed at the upper end thereof by an end wall 11.
  • the socket changes to a lower end portion with a larger wall thickness than the upper portion of the socket.
  • the socket terminates at the lower end thereof in a circular ring 14 integral with the socket.
  • An axial groove 15 is provided at the shoulder centrally of each opening 13 a transverse notch 16 being formed in each groove.
  • the ring 14 forms four pairs of mutually spaced outwardly projecting protuberances 17 the pairs of protuberances being mutually spaced 90° on the circumference of the ring.
  • an outer circular cylindrical socket 18 also of rigid plastics which can be displaced axially in relation to socket 10. Socket 18 forms an annular end wall
  • a retainer ring 20 also of rigid plastics is connected to socket 18 at the lower end thereof, said ring forming four retainers 21 received each in one of openings 13.
  • Ring 20 is connected to the outer socket 18 by ultrasound welding, gluing or in any other suitable way.
  • a strip 22 of magnetically attractable spring steel having a thickness of e. g. 0.25 mm and having the shape which can be seen in FIG. 7 is resiliently bent to a circular ring and mounted in the outer socket 18.
  • the spring steel strip forms longitudinal ribbon-shaped upper and lower portions 23 and 24, respectively, interconnected by integral webs 25 and forming together with the webs rectangular windows 26.
  • Four spring tongues 27 uniformly distributed along the spring steel strip project perpendicularly from the upper portion 23 into associated windows.
  • the spring tongues are slightly deflected inwards at an angle to portion 23 and have a bulged end portion 28 to be engaged with notches 16.
  • two spring tongues 29 slightly deflected inwards project from portion 23 into associated windows 26.
  • the spring steel strip forms flaps 30 for interconnecting the ends of the strip so as to impart to the strip the shape of a circular ring.
  • the outer socket 18 In order to mount the spring steel strip 22 in the outer socket 18 there is provided in the inside corner of the socket at end wall 11 a circumferential groove 31 receiving portion 23 of the strip with tongues 27 and 29 directed towards the ouside surface of the inner socket 10.
  • the outer socket 18 forms a space 32 in order to receive therein an alarm element forming part of an alarm system. This space is closed by a cover 33 which is attached to socket 18 by means of snap elements 34 or by welding, so that the cover cannot be removed in order to allow access to the alarm element and removal of it from the socket .
  • the outer socket 18, the retainer ring 20 and the spring steel strip 22 thus form a unit which can be displaced axially in relation to the inner socket 10.
  • the inner socket 10 In one displaced position which is shown in FIG 1 and is an unlocked position the inner socket 10 is releasably held in this position by tongues 27 which at the bulged end portions 28 thereof engage notches 16.
  • the inner socket will be prevented from sliding down by gravity to the locked position shown in Fig. 2.
  • the device in the unlocked position shown in FIG 1 is pushed at socket 18 onto the bottle neck - fragmentarily indicated by dot-and-dash lines - the retainers 21 being engaged with the bead at the opening of the bottle at oblique surfaces 35 which are circularly curved circumferentially, and being deflected outwards when passing over the bead.
  • the retainers then snap back behind the bead, FIG. 2.
  • the inner socket 10 then is pressed down spring tongues 27 being disengaged from notches 16. By displacement of the inner socket spring tongues 29 will leave the thicker wall portion of the socket and will engage behind shoulder 12 as disclosed in FIG 2.
  • the device must be dimensioned so as to match the dimensions of the bottle, particularly the dimensions of the bead thereof. It is the intention that the device of the invention shall be dimensioned so as to match bottles that are used for champagne and other sparkling wines which does not exclude use of the device in combination with bottles of other types provided that they have matching dimensions.
  • the device disclosed in EP-Bl-0 688 390 has a more universal use but in case of bottles with a tin foil cover such as bottles for champagne or other sparkling wines causes the problem accounted for above .
  • the anti-shop-lifting device prevents unauthorized uncorking of a bottle in a shop and activates an alarm by means of the alarm element in space 32 if a bottle having the anti-shop-lifting device applied to it is carried out from the region protected by means of the alarm system, e.g. if a person with the protected bottle passes sensing means at the exit of a self-service shop.
  • Authorized removal of the anti-shop-lifting device can take place only by using a special tool which is used by the counter attendant in the self-service shop.
  • Such a tool can be constructed as described in EP-Bl-0 688 390 and can consist of a ring which has an inner diameter sufficiently large in order that the ring can be passed over the outer socket 15 but forms a shoulder portion to engage the end wall 19 so that the ring can be placed on socket 18.
  • a ring which has an inner diameter sufficiently large in order that the ring can be passed over the outer socket 15 but forms a shoulder portion to engage the end wall 19 so that the ring can be placed on socket 18.
  • these permanent magnets will attract the associated spring tongues 29.
  • spring tongues 29 By attraction of spring tongues 29 to the magnets in the ring the tongues are disengaged from shoulder 12 so that the inner socket 10 will be released for axial displacement upwards in relation to the outer socket 18.
  • the outer socket 18 is provided with a projection 39 which by engagement with one of the pairs of protuberances 17 defines the angular position of the outer socket in relation to the inner socket 10, in which retainers 21 are in register with openings 13.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif empêchant le vol à l'étalage de bouteilles. Ce dispositif qui est destiné à être verrouillé sur un goulot présentant un bourrelet circonférentiel externe, comprend une douille interne (10) à enfiler sur le goulot de bouteille, et une douille externe (18) à monter à l'extérieur sur la douille interne et à déplacer axialement par rapport à cette dernière. Des dispositifs de retenue (21) sont distribués sur la circonférence de la surface interne de la douille externe et s'étendent en s'introduisant dans la douille interne par des ouvertures (13) pratiquées dans sa paroi puis s'aggripent derrière le bourrelet. Les dispositifs de retenue sont sensiblement rigides mais également flexibles pour céder et, par engagement avec le bourrelet lors du déplacemenet du dispositif sur le goulot, prendre une position derrière le bourrelet. Un moyen de verrouillage (29) dans une position de verrouillage verrouille la douille interne à l'encontre de tout déplacement par rapport à la douille externe dans une position dans laquelle la douille interne forme une butée pour les dispositifs de retenue empêchant ainsi qu'ils ne fléchissent et quittent la position derrière le bourrelet. Il est ainsi impossible de retirer du goulot le dispositif empêchant le vol à l'étalage.
