Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an adjustable anti- theft device, particularly aimed to protect against thefts products contained inside bulky boxes or packages.
  • Anti-theft containers are known in the art, usually made of transparent polycarbonate, adapted to prevent the theft of compact- ⁇ discs , musicassettes , videocassettes , DVD, books or the like placed therein during their exhibition for sale. Such containers however have a fixed and reduced internal volume, and therefore are ill suited for protecting products contained inside big-sized packages, such as for example shoes, household appliances, etc., and are relatively scarcely standardised.
  • anti-theft devices are also known in the art eguipped with a safety coil, or. an adjusting and locking body, connected through a plurality of cables with adjustable length to an abutment plate, such cables being adapted to surround all sides of a box containing the product to be protected during its exhibition for sale, and that can be opened only by using a suitable and dedicated detaching device, generally of a magnetic type, or an uncoupling device available for the service personnel.
  • a suitable and dedicated detaching device generally of a magnetic type, or an uncoupling device available for the service personnel.
  • Such devices can further be protected with safety systems that prevent their tampering, or warn about the breakage of cables or with adhesive labels of the radiofrequency (RF) , electromagnetic (EM) or acoustic-magnetic (AM) types, or their combinations cooperating with anti-theft detecting barriers.
  • RF radiofrequency
  • EM electromagnetic
  • AM acoustic-magnetic
  • document WO-A-2008/143713 discloses a device equipped with a system for the automatic rewinding of cables.
  • each cable has both its ends fixed to the safety coil in such a way as to form a ring and a central portion thereof passing by the abutment plate: in such arrangement, the cables are made pass inside the plate in a substantially and mutually parallel way; this arrangement has the disadvantage of making the breakage or cutting of the plate potentially possible without incurring in cutting the cables, that can therefore be moved to remove the package protected by the device without any intervention from possible alarm systems.
  • object of the present invention is providing an adjustable anti-theft device in which the locking and adjusting devices contained in the adjusting and locking body are of a reduced number, and with a simple, but very efficient arrangement, reducing assembling costs and the final product price.
  • Another obj ect of the present invention is providing an adjustable anti-theft device in which the protecting cables are arranged in such a way as to prevent, or at least strongly reduce, the chance of breakage due to wear.
  • an object of the present invention is providing an adjustable anti-theft device in which the safety systems or the adhesive labels of the radiofrequency (RF) , electromagnetic (EM) or acoustic- magnetic (AM) types are placed in such a way as not to be reached from, outside when the device is placed as protection of a product.
  • RF radiofrequency
  • EM electromagnetic
  • AM acoustic- magnetic
  • Another object of the present invention is providing an adjustable anti-theft device in which the protecting cables are mutually crossing at abutment plate level, making it impossible to remove the protected product even if the plate is cut or broken.

  • the upper half-shell 3a is equipped with at least one toothed element 20 integral with and adapted to engage the toothed crown 13 and to allow the rotation of the upper half-shell 3a with respect to the lower half-shell 3b only along one direction (given by the configuration as inclined plane of the tooth of the toothed crown 13, that allow the movement along one direction and prevent it along the opposite direction) , in order to tighten the cables 2 against . the object to be protected, when the locking and unlocking means are in their locking phase.
  • the lower half-shell 3b is further equipped with third elastic means 30 (commonly made with at least four springs, as shown) adapted to take the toothed crown 13 of the annular element 12 in engagement against the toothed element 20 at the end of the rotation of the upper half-shell 3a with respect to the lower half-shell 3b, and adapted to move away the upper half- shell 3a from the lower half-shell 3b when opening the device 1.

Otherwise, if the identifying code sent by the detaching device does not correspond to the one stored on the electronic card 16, or if one attempts to use an unauthorised or not compatible detaching device, the control unit 17 of the electronic card 16 will activate all necessary alarms (inside and/or outside the device
  • the annular element 12 is always in engagement with the lower half-shell 3b; when the upper half-shell 3a, in its closed position, is rotated in its single possible direction, the an ular element 12 translates downwards due to the inclined planes between the toothed crown 13 and the toothed element 20 of the upper half-shell 3a and returns into its lock position due to the thrust of the four springs 30.
  • the thrusting element 42 moves the balls 44 inside the container 43, that is used to contain the mechanisms.
  • the thrust of the spring 48 determines the positioning of the balls 44 in the narrowest area of the container 43 so that they press both against the walls of the container 43, and against the stem of the nail-shaped element 40, preventing the same nail-shaped element 40 from being moved for opening.
  • the spring (first elastic means) 48 When the magnetic attraction of the detaching device attracts the thrusting element 42 (upwards in the Figures), the spring (first elastic means) 48 is compressed and the balls 44 are taken into a wider area of the container 43, allowing the nail-shaped element 40 to be freed. Simultaneously, the spring (second elastic means) 50 upwards pushes the whole upper structure, separating the upper half-shell 3a from the lower half- shell 3b by a few millimeters, till a maximum opening due to the contact between the annular projection 60 of the upper half-shell 3a and the annular projection 62 of the lower half-shell 3b, and consequently freeing from its engagement the toothed element 20 of the toothed crown 13 of the annular element 12, allowing to unwind the cables
