Abstract

A security device (2) for attachment to a container (7,10) having external walls such that a transponder (20) thereon is located externally of or adjacent to one of said external walls so as to avoid being shielded by a metal layer (21) within the container (7, 10) (e.g. the metal layer within a disk such as a CD or DVD). The security device (2) is arranged to trigger an alarm signal if the container (7, 10) is moved within the range of an alarm unit with the security device (2) attached thereto, and has a releasable locking mechanism (11, 12) to secure it to the container (7,10) such that release of the locking mechanism (11, 12) requires the use of authorised release means. In one embodiment the transponder (20) is located in the vicinity of a window (21A) in a metal layer (21), e.g. at the centre of the disk.

Claims

1. A security device for attachment to a container having external walls such that at least a signal receiving and/or transmitting portion thereof is located externally of or adjacent to one of said external walls, the security device being arranged to trigger an alarm signal if the container is moved within the range of an alarm unit with the security device attached thereto, the security device having a releasable locking mechanism to secure it to the container such that release of the locking mechanism requires the use of authorised release means, the security device comprising a magnetic component arranged both as part of the signal receiving and/or transmitting portion and to assist in removal of the device from the container by magnetic release means.
2. A security device as claimed in claim 1 having a first arm for insertion within a first aperture in the container.
3. A security device as claimed in claim 2 comprising a head portion from which said first arm projects, said signal receiving and/or transmitting portion being located in the head portion.
4. A security device as claimed in claim 4 in which said first arm is a snap-fit within the container.
5. A security device as claimed in any preceding claim in which the locking mechanism is releasable magnetically.
6. A security device as claimed in any of claims 2-5 having a second arm for insertion within a second aperture in the container. 18
7. A security device as claimed in claim 6 arranged such that the first arm fits within an aperture in a base portion of the container and the second arm fits within an aperture in a lid portion of the container, or vice versa.
8. A security device as claimed in any of claims 2-7 in which the container comprises a base portion and a lid portion the lid portion being hingedly connected to the base portion along a first edge thereof, the first arm being arranged to fit within said first aperture which is provided in an opening edge of the container opposite said first edge.
9. A security device as claimed in any preceding claim for attachment to a container having holding means for holding a disk via a central aperture thereof and which is arranged to interact with the holding means so as to lock the disk thereon.
10. A security device as claimed in any preceding claim in which the magnetic component is a solid, cylindrical rod.
11. A security device as claimed in any preceding claim in which the signal receiving and/or transmitting portion thereof comprises an RF transponder.
12. A security device as claimed in claim 11 in which the RF transponder comprises a magnetic core with a coil wound therearound.
13. A security device as claimed in claim 12 in which the magnetic core is formed of ferrite.
14. A security device as claimed in claim 11 , 12 or 13 having a cover portion which holds the transponder in the device.
15. A security device as claimed in claim 14 in which the cover portion is held in place by a snap-fit. 19
16. A security device as claimed in any of claims 11-15 when dependent upon claim 3 in which the transponder is located within said head portion.
17. A security device as claimed in claim 16 in which said head portion has a curved external surface which, in use, faces outward from the container.
18. A security device as claimed in any preceding claim in combination with a container, the security device being located externally of the container adjacent an external wall of the container.
19. A security device as claimed in claim 18 in which the container has a recess within said external wall, the security device being at least partially located within said recess.
20. A security device as claimed in claim 18 or 19 in which the container is adapted to hold a substantially planar article, the article including a metal layer wherein the security device is located in a position substantially co- planar with said metal layer.
21. A security device as claimed in claims 1 and 2 in which the signal receiving and/or transmitting portion thereof is located in a position along said first arm such that, in use, it lies adjacent an article held in the container in the vicinity of a window or aperture in a metal layer of the article.
22. A security device as claimed in claim 21 in which the article is a disk having a central aperture and the signal receiving and/or transmitting portion is arranged, in use, to be positioned in the vicinity of said aperture.
23. A security device for attachment to apparatus adapted to hold one or more articles which include a layer which is non-transparent to electromagnetic 20
radiation, the security device having a portion for receiving and/or transmitting electromagnetic radiation so as to trigger an alarm signal if the apparatus is moved within the range of an alarm unit with the security device attached thereto, said portion being located on the device such that it lies in the vicinity of a window in said layer or a gap between two such layers so as to be able to receive and/or transmit electromagnetic radiation through said window or gap when the device is attached to said apparatus.
24. A security device as claimed in claim 23 for attachment to apparatus adapted to hold a disk having a central aperture, said portion being located such that, in use, it lies adjacent the disk in the vicinity of the central aperture thereof.
25. A security device as claimed in claim 23 or 24 in which said portion comprises a flat coil of electrical conductors wound in elongate loops.
26. A security device as claimed in claim 23 or 24 in which said portion comprises a coil wound around a substantially flat ferrite core.
27. A security device substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to and/or as shown in one or more of the accompanying drawings.
28. A security device in combination with a container or apparatus substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to and/or as shown in one or more of the accompanying drawings.
29. A device adapted to hold signal receiving and/or transmitting means such that, when said signal and/or receiving means is mounted thereon, a security device as claimed in any preceding claim is provided.
