Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an anti-theft device for eye glasses with side supports or temples on display to the public in shops, large department stores and similar premises.
  • the present blocking devices composed of rigid bodies enclosing the temple of the eye glasses and fastened together by means of snap or screw elements, can damage the temple during trial due to the inevitable interplay that is created between the blocking parts and the temple itself.
  • An anti-theft device has been realised and made available which is composed of a blocking part provided with a flexibly yielding structure, presenting a protruding flexible tab which acts as a spacer between the device itself and the lens and prevents any damage to the spectacle lens due to impact or rubbing against the device.
  • This device is very effective, but it is rather bulky and complex and is therefore rather expensive to make. Moreover it does not allow folding of the temple on which the device is fitted, so it requires greater space to display the eye glasses.
  • the aim of the present invention is to realise an anti-theft device for eye glasses with temples on show to the public, conceived and structured in such a way as to eliminate the inconveniences presented by the devices of the prior art, whatever the shape of the cross section of the temples of the eye glasses and the dimensions of the temples, allowing ease of trying on the face in every case.
  • Another aim of the invention is to realise an anti-theft device of the type specified above, structured in such a way as to allow display without risk of damage to the temple or to the lens of the eye glasses, even after they have been tried on numerous times.
  • a further aim is to realise an anti-theft device suitable for side supports or temples with various section and shape, with stable blocking in every case and great ease of release at the time of sale, by means of a special release key.
  • an anti-theft device for eye glasses with temples to be displayed to the public comprising:
  • said pin and said seat or through hole present corresponding threads for screwing in said pin until it disappears inside said seat and for blocking the position of said pin in said seat or through hole.
  • a plate that can move inside said bridge with said pin to engage the temple of the eye glasses.
  • the block comprises an element of flexibly yielding material such as rubber, soft plastic or similar, suitable for coming in contact with the temple of the eye glasses without spoiling it, but exerting sufficient resistance to friction, so as to prevent the temple being slipped out of the anti-theft device once the plate is blocked on the temple of the eye glasses.
  • a straight groove may be realised in the base plate of the block, substantially with an arched cross section, suitable above all for gripping temples with a circular or polygonal section.
  • said base plate comprises a seat suited for firmly and irremovably containing said alarm device, bar code, slogans, trade marks and similar applied for example on a strip of paper or similar.
  • said seat suited for containing said alarm device comprises a covering plate provided with means for fixing it to said seat.
  • the alarm device for example applied on one of the sides of the strip of paper, remains fixed between a surface of the base plate and the covering plate and cannot be removed;
  • the covering plate is preferably made of transparent material, so that trade marks, advertising slogans and similar can be applied on the opposite side of the same strip of paper and are thus visible to the public.
  • the device according to the present invention is therefore used for a dual purpose, theft prevention and advertising.
  • said device comprises a removable key, which may be separated from the device and is normally kept by the seller, for screwing and unscrewing said threaded pin.
  • said key is made with a length longer than the dimensions of the eye glasses and of the side supports or temples, so that it can be easily operated on said pin without any part of the eye glasses interfering with the operator's movement and hampering it or slowing it in any way.
  • the grip of the key is grooved and with a gradually increasing diameter towards the end opposite the one with the cross-shaped bit.
  • the the anti-theft device comprises the block 1 of rigid material, substantially rigid plastic, preferably transparent, comprising the base plate 2 and the transverse bridge 3 suited for allowing the passage with play of a temple 11 of a spectacle frame; the bridge 3 is provided at the top with a threaded through hole 4 inside which the threaded pin 5 is screwed until it disappears inside the hole by means of the special key 6 which acts on the top end of the pin.
  • a cross-shaped slot 13 At the top end of the threaded pin is a cross-shaped slot 13 to be turned by means of the key 6 provided with a cross-shaped bit arranged in such a way that it engages the slot 13 of the pin 5.
  • the protruding element 7 At the base of the threaded pin 5 is the protruding element 7 at the end of which is a mushroom head 8.
  • the protruding element 7 and its head 8 can turn freely inside the cavity or seat 9 present on the upper surface of the plate 10 which is thus connected, swinging and turning freely around the pin 5.
  • the pin 5 is screwed into the threaded seat 4 with the key 6 until it disappears, so it is impossible to unscrew it and thus free the spectacle temple from the anti-theft device in the invention without the special key 6.
  • the inside face of the plate 10 is covered with a layer 12 of flexibly yielding material such as, for example, silicone rubber or similar. This layer of rubber prevents the surface of the spectacle temple being damaged during operation of the pin and at the same time increases the friction on the temple and constitutes a further safety element against illicit removal of the temple from the device.
  • the initial assembly of the anti-theft device from the detached parts is accomplished very simply by positioning the movable plate 10 inside the bridge 3 on the internal surface of the base plate 2 and screwing the pin 5 all the way in with the key 6: in this way the mushroom head 8 is forced against the opening of the seat 9, made to yield flexible, for example by making a certain number of vertical through cuts around the opening itself, thus causing the head to enter the seat and connection of the plate with the threaded pin.
  • the seat 9 of the plate is open on one side to allow lateral snap-in insertion of the plate on the head 7. In this case, to remove the plate, push it in the opposite direction to the one in which it was inserted.
  • the anti-theft alarm device of a prior art is placed in the seat 14 created in the outer surface of the base plate 2 closed by the covering plate 15; the plate 15 is snapped into the grove 16 created in the frame 17 that runs around three sides of the base plate 2.
  • the covering plate 15 cannot be slipped out as the protruding flexible elements 18, 18a present on the edges of the plate are caught and irremovably blocked in the cavities 19 and 19a respectively (fig. 1), present in the groove 16; in this way the alarm device placed in the seat 14 cannot be removed without breaking and destroying the anti-theft device.
  • the bridge 3 is provided with a hole 4", not threaded, and the base plate 2 is provided with as seat or threaded through hole 4' substantially coaxial with the hole 4".
  • the threaded pin 5' may be screwed until it disappears and unscrewed with the special key 6, which in this case can act on both the top end and the bottom end of the pin 5'.
  • the threaded pin 5' is provided at both top and bottom with a cross-shaped slot 13' which can be engaged with the key 6 provided with a cross-shaped bit.
  • an element with a countersunk head 8' At the base of the threaded pin 5' is an element with a countersunk head 8'.
  • the element with a countersunk head 8' engages with the cavity or seat 9' present on the upper surface of the plate 10' and provided with a side opening for inserting on the head 8' of the pin 5'.
  • the cavity or seat 9' presents countersunk walls, see figure 8, suited for coupling with the countersunk walls of the element 8'.
  • the element of flexibly yielding material does not cover the lower face of the plate 10', but the inside surface of the bridge opposite the plate itself.
  • a protruding portion 21' of the element 12' in yielding material is provided which engages the non threaded hole 4" of the bridge.
  • the assembly of the anti-theft device is accomplished by positioning the pin 5' in the special seat or hole 4', passing it through the hole 4" (which has larger dimensions than the threaded hole 4' and such as to allow the passage of the pin 5'), and screwing it with the key 6 engaged in the cavity 13' created on its lower surface to a depth such as to allow insertion in the bridge, through a side opening, of the plate 10' and the blocking of the countersunk head 8' of the pin 5' in the seat 9'.
  • the anti-theft alarm device is placed in the seat 14' created in the outer surface of the base plate 2.
  • the plate 2 presents the flexible blocking elements 18' and 18'a while the covering plate 15' presents a groove 16' created in the frame 17' that runs around three sides of the plate 15' and the cavities 19' and 19'a for blocking the elements 18', 18'a (see figure 10).
  • the covering plate 15' cannot be slipped out as the protruding flexible elements 18', 18'a present on the edges 22' of the base plate are caught and irremovably blocked in the cavities 19' and 19'a respectively, present in the groove 16'; in this way the alarm device placed in the seat 14' cannot be removed without breaking and destroying the anti-theft device.
