Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a temporary safety device or seal that is applied to bottles and other containers (hereinafter bottles), usually liquor bottles or other beverages, whose sale price is relatively high, exposed for sale in commercial establishments, usually self-service type.
  • the device is formed by a pair of half-rings articulated to each other provided with a locking device in the closed position by locking the respective ends opposite to the joint against the action of an elastic means, and unlocking said locking by the application of a magnetic release field that acts on a ferric body.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a device that allows to protect the establishments from bottle theft in a more efficient manner, which also provides advantages to the workers who must carry out their handling.
  • the device has at least one electromagnetic coil to be detected by suitable means.
  • Various anti-theft devices for bottles have been disclosed, for example of the type comprising a device coupled to the neck of a bottle provided with an active or passive electronic device that excites an alarm device when it passes through a safety arch of the existing ones in the area of boxes or in the door of the exit of commercial establishments.
  • cap-type devices which are placed from the mouth of the bottle and imprison the neck, and particularly lock onto an annular projection that the bottles generally have.
  • Example of such cap-shaped devices can be seen in EP 1 794 060 in which the cap has closing means that are secured by a sliding bolt of ferromagnetic material that cooperates with a slide with saw teeth, and that can, as in the present invention, be released by the application of a magnetic field of sufficient intensity.
  • said device requires that it be arranged in a precise manner, orienting the cap towards the neck of the bottle, which requires greater attention, effort and operator's time than would be desirable, and also requires that the magnetic field for the release is applied in a particular way, which requires having an unlocking or uncoupling "tool”, which in turn requires the intervention of the operator who has to locate the tool and grasp it, place it on the cap, release the cap, and Separate the cap from the tool again.
  • bottle protection devices are those in which the bottle fixing element is formed by a clamp formed by two elements, in which the closure thereof decreases the size of the central hole in which the neck is fastened from the bottle, to an adjustment that produces a lock between the clamp and the neck of the bottle.
  • ES 2 388 105 Al describes an anti-theft device for bottles of this type, which consists of a main body provided with lateral housings in which the arms of a locking body are inserted, which are retained by means of toothed profiles. The fastening is carried out by means of two separable pieces in open position, which must be joined to make a new lock. The same drawbacks as described in the previous case can be mentioned here.
  • EP 0 915 222 discloses an anti-theft collar for bottles which is formed by two half-rings articulated with respect to an axis, the opposite ends being provided with the articulation of coupling plates with blocking by inserting button or bubble type.
  • the known protection devices like the present invention, are decoupled by means of a magnetic field formed by magnets that produce a magnetic field of adequate intensity in a tool called decoupler or detacher, which releases the locking element allowing the opening Of the device.
  • this type of device presents a safety problem, because when it is desired to remove one of these bottles, the thief who tries to subtract the bottle can strike the device axially (parallel to the axis of the bottle) with a certain force in its protruding flat areas, which has been found to deform the whole by jumping the spring and the pin of its location or disengage the pieces that form it, being free of the blockade and therefore canceled protection.
  • the known mechanical devices are not designed in their design to protect the health and ergonomics of the worker, so that sometimes occur in that worker small functional injuries that should be avoided.
  • the closing mechanism is formed substantially in two parts in the form of a semi-ring, with one articulating end and one locking end, said parts being hinged together forming a single body, which exerts the functions of fixing element and blocking element;
  • the locking end comprises a retention device in the form of a ratchet or rack
  • the blocking element is formed by an elastic piece, which is provided with a spur acting as wedge against the action of the opening movement, thus preventing the opening of a forced mode;
  • the device is provided with an elastic element next to its articulation axis, so that it tends to remain open when there has been no locking on the locking end, and so that when the retention is released it tends to open without need of additional intervention by the operator;
  • the toric ring shape of the device meets the criteria of ergonomics in its handling by workers; as the process of securing bottles with a security device, also in a large area or hypermarket, requires very repetitive actions of the same movement, it has been taken into account that the device object of the invention has no edges or points that may affect the hands of the worker producing abrasions, chafing or muscular injuries, which can take place in other devices of the state of the art. In addition, it facilitates operations since to close the device on the neck of a bottle only requires a light pressure of the hand, which reduces muscle and tendon injuries, pain and other disturbances, such as loss of mobility and / or sensitivity of the affected areas.
  • the safety locking device of the invention comprises the following elements:
  • a second substantially toroidal half-ring with a hinge end and a closing end; having in the first half ring at the closing end an outer radius substantially equal to or slightly lower (to avoid friction) than the inner radius of the second half ring at the closing end; we define as the end of the closure the area opposite to the articulation in which the lock between the first half-ring and the second half-ring is produced or can be produced; the second half-ring is provided with a housing, such as a tubular conduit, slot or groove for inserting the closing end of the first half-ring; An articulation axis that articulates the first toroidal half-ring and the second toroidal half-ring;
  • a spring disposed adjacent the hinge axis, which tends to keep the half-rings open (the closing ends separated from each other);
  • a housing recess of a closing trigger formed at the closing end of the second half-ring; said gap being open towards the center of the toroid
  • a fastening portion of a ferromagnetic body said portion provided with an elastic retaining flange of said ferromagnetic body;
  • a ferromagnetic body usually a ball, disposed in the fastening portion
  • a retaining portion with a serrated edge oriented towards the center of the toroid in the housing recess, which in the rest position emerges from the ideal surface of said toroid; the orientation of the teeth and of the rack or toothed surface can be inclined and concordant with each other, so that it facilitates the closing and hinders or prevents the opening of the device
  • An elastic portion that joins the positioning portion with the holding portion of the ferromagnetic body and / or with the retaining portion with the serrated edge, and tends to maintain the serrated edge protruding from the ideal surface of the toroid in the area of the housing recess in a locked position;
  • an electronic active protection device such as an emitter or passive circuit, such as an RFID tag.
  • the device comprises on its surface a set of lugs or a surface roughness that facilitates gripping by the user.
  • the device operates as follows:
  • the device At rest, before use, the device is with the two half-rings open due to the action of the spring, that is to say that the respective closing ends are separated.
  • the user who must protect a bottle takes the bottle and the closing device of the invention open (if it is not, he must open it, as will be indicated below), and places it around the neck of the bottle, so that the projections or retaining tabs are arranged below (closer to the body of the bottle) than the annular projection made on said neck; in this position the two closing ends are pressed to bring them closer together, against the action of the spring arranged next to the articulation axis, until contact is made, so that the first half-ring will be partially arranged inside the second ring.
  • the zipper or rough surface of the first half-ring then presses the serrated edge of the retaining portion that forms part of the closing trigger, which due to the elastic action of the portion elastic, retracts back the retaining portion, allowing the advance along the length of the rack, until the inner hollow of the toroid formed by the two half-rings presses the neck of the bottle to be protected. In this position, the axial extraction of the device is impossible, because it is retained in the projection of the bottle.
  • a thief wishes to remove the protection device of the invention he will try to open the two half-rings, and at that moment, in addition to the locking of the teeth with the rack, the spur will act on the end of the serrated edge, which will be housed between the teeth.
  • a first effect is to produce a blockage by the wedge effect that the more it moves towards the opening position, the greater the section of the portion interposed between the half rings, making it difficult to separate them;
  • a second effect is to imprison more strongly the serrated edge against the zipper of the opposite half-ring.
  • the operator When the buyer arrives at the box with the bottle provided with the closing device, the operator approaches the device to the uncoupler or unlocked which is a magnetic surface, so that the ferromagnetic element of the closing trigger is attracted towards the external part, and with he the serrated edge that produces the retention and locking of the half-rings between them. Due to the action of the spring arranged next to the axis, the device opens automatically, falling and leaving the bottle free for the buyer.
