Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anti-theft device which is particularly but not exclusively useful for objects having tubular or otherwise substantially cylindrical portions.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide an anti-theft device which can be applied to items having tubular or otherwise substantially cylindrical portions, assuredly providing such items with adequate protection against shoplifting.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a device which is easy to apply and equally easy to separate by breaking or by means of dedicated tools.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which has an extremely low cost, is particularly safe from the point of view of functionality and is competitive in terms of purchase and running costs with respect to alternative anti-theft methods.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an anti-theft device which can be applied even by personnel having no particular technical expertise.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an anti-theft device which can be manufactured with known technologies and equipment.
  • an anti-theft device for items having tubular or otherwise substantially cylindrical portions, characterized in that it comprises a strap which is suitable to close irreversibly in a noose-like fashion on an application portion of the item to be protected against theft, said strap having a seat for accommodating an electronic signaling component which can be excited by the presence of electromagnetic fields.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device of Figure 1 , applied to the neck of a bottle;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the device of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3a is a perspective view of a component of the device of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3b is a perspective sectional view of the component of Figure 3a;
  • Figure 4 is a sectional plan view of the device of Figure 1 ;
  • Figures 5, 6 and 7 are different sectional views of different states of a same detail of the device of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 8 is a perspective view of a tool dedicated to the device of Figure 1.
  • an anti-theft device for items having tubular or otherwise substantially cylindrical portions is generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • the device 10 is applied to the neck 13 of a bottle 11.
  • the device 10 comprises a strap 12 which in this case is made of plastics and is adapted to close irreversibly in a noose-like fashion, in this case to the neck 13 of the bottle 11, so as to protect it against theft.
  • the strap 12 has, as described in greater detail hereinafter, a seat for accommodating an electronic signaling component 40, which can be excited by the presence of electromagnetic fields generated by equipment which is not shown and is in any case known per se.
  • the seat in this case, is constituted by a box 14 which is fixed to a median region of the strap 12.
  • the box 14 can also be fixed to the strap 12 by rivets or other equivalent means.
  • the strap 12 comprises a first end 15 which is shaped so as to define a hollow enlarged box-like portion 16 which is adapted to provide part of the closure of the device 10.
  • the device 10 comprises, in this embodiment, a closure element 17 provided with a central monolithic tongue 18 with mutually opposite elastic wings 19, each of which has, at its end. a corresponding engagement tooth 20 which is directed outward and is stably inserted during assembly in a corresponding first through hole 21 provided at the corresponding wall of the enlarged portion 16.
  • the element 17 also has, at the tongue 18, a sawtooth portion 22 which is adapted to irreversibly couple to a corresponding sawtooth portion 23 related to a second end 24 of the strap 12, which can be inserted in the hollow enlarged portion 16.
  • the strap 12 also has a contoured external raised portion 25 which is available to the user's actuation for the insertion of the second end 24 in the enlarged portion 16.
  • the internal surface of the enlarged portion 16 is shaped so as to define two mutually opposite slots 26 for the guided insertion of the second end 24.
  • the strap 12 further has a plurality of studs 27 arranged on its internal surface, along part of its length; depending on the applications, the studs are adapted to fit within corresponding slots provided on the neck of the bottle or to rest on the closure or on the tucked-in region thereof, further ensuring the locking of the device 10.
  • a tool is shown which is generally designated by the reference numeral 28 and is adapted to disconnect the device 10 from the bottle 11 without breaking the strap 12.
  • the tool 28 is provided with a pincer-like body having appropriately shaped jaws.
  • a first jaw designated by the reference numeral 29, is shaped so as to form a recess 30 for accommodating the hollow enlarged portion 16, while a second jaw 34 has a pin 31 which is adapted to pass through the recess 30 and enter second through holes 32 provided in mutually opposite walls of the enlarged portion 16 and corresponding third holes 33 provided in the respective wings 19, so as to raise, by elastic deformation, the element 17 (see Figure 6), disconnecting the sawtooth portion 22 thereof from the sawtooth portion 23 of the second end 24 without breaking the strap 12.
  • the tool 28 allows to recover and reuse the device 10. It has been observed that the present invention has achieved the intended aim and objects.
  • the device according to the invention is applied particularly advantageously to all items having a tubular or otherwise substantially cylindrical portion or portions provided with enlarged portions at the end.
  • the effectiveness of the anchoring of the device to the application portion is matched by its very quick application; however, as mentioned, the device can also be just as quickly detached so that it can be reused thanks to simple dedicated tools. Attention is also drawn to the structural simplicity of the device according to the invention, which can be effectively mass-manufactured at particularly low costs.
  • the device according to the invention thanks to its compact dimensions, does not penalize in any way the buyer's possibility to evaluate the item to which it is applied.
  • the constructive details can be replaced with other technically equivalent means.
  • the materials and the dimensions may be any according to requirements.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif antivol pour objets. Ce dispositif présente des parties tubulaires, ou sensiblement cylindriques, présentant une bande adaptée pour se fermer de manière irréversible à la manière d'un noeud coulant, sur une partie prévue à cet effet, de l'objet à protéger contre le vol. Cette bande comporte une partie prévue pour recevoir un composant de signalisation électronique qui peut être excité par la présence de champs électromagnétiques.
