Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for marking a commercial article.
  • Such devices generally comprise two parts including a first portion which has a tip for insertion into an orifice of a second part.
  • the second portion includes means for locking the tip to prevent its removal once it has been inserted into the orifice.
  • Such a device is more particularly used by piercing the commercial article with the tip of the first part and inserting this tip in the orifice of the second part to lock it there.
  • the article is thus imprisoned between the two parts of the device until it passes to the cash register of the store.
  • the device may carry identifying / marking information of the article such as information about the article and / or the trade mark under which it is sold.
  • the device may include one or more security devices against theft. This or these bodies cooperate for example with gantries located at the entrances and exits of the store to detect any attempt to exit the store article fraud and to issue an alarm.
  • these devices are not however adapted to be fixed to items that are not suitable for piercing or bit by a tip, such as sports shoes, leather goods such as belts, handbags. ..
  • US 6,052,876 discloses (the reference of the relevant passages in parentheses): a marking device (15) for a packaged or unpackaged commercial article, the device comprising an axial point (17) and a rigid fastening member (8) intended for the hooking the device to an article in its packaging, the fastening member comprising a body provided with a first free end (cf. Fig. 5 ) and an opposite second end (10, 11) hingedly but non-permanently attached to the device.
  • US 2008/3033670 discloses a device for marking a packaged or unpackaged commercial article, the device comprising an axial point (3) and a non-rigid fastening member (1) intended to hook the device to a commercial article or to its packaging , the fastening member comprising a body (10) provided with a first free end (15) and a second opposite end (12) fixedly and permanently fixed to the device, the first free end being able to pivot around the second end, between a first position in which the first free end is remote from the device and a second position in which the first free end is releasably connected to the axial tip (3) of the device.
  • This device can thus retain the same principle of a two-part marking device of the prior art and be fixed or hooked in a locked manner to a commercial item without the tip does not perforate the article or its packaging.
  • the part of the device which is not the attachment part may for example not be modified with respect to a device of the prior art, only the attachment part requiring specific means (fastener) to fill the aforementioned function.
  • the attachment portion is relatively simple design because it does not use an additional mechanism to prevent the end of the fastener to leave the housing. Indeed, it is the other part of the marking device which, when positioned in front of the housing in position locked with the attachment portion (via conventional locking / holding means), prevents the free end of the latching member from coming out of the housing.
  • Unlocking the two parts is done conventionally with a known tool such as a permanent magnet.
  • a known tool such as a permanent magnet.
  • the tool or the unlocking system may be different from that mentioned above and of a type known in the field of anti-theft devices.
  • the body of the fastening member can surround a portion of an article (eg: belt buckle, bag strap, eyelet). 'a shoe, buttonhole ...) thanks to the first free end of the organ.
  • an article eg: belt buckle, bag strap, eyelet. 'a shoe, buttonhole
  • the first free end of the member rotates relative to the attachment portion and, in particular, the second fixed end of the member, to enter the housing which it is reserved for him. This allows to imprison the portion of the article within the loop formed by the body of the member which is arranged externally to the attachment portion.
  • the loop thus formed is closed, which prevents the portion of the article from emerging from the loop and to release.
  • the other part of the device is then approached to the attachment portion and the axial tip is inserted axially into the orifice until the tip locking means prevent axial removal of the inserted tip.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly simple to design and implement.
  • the fastening member which is rotatable relative to the attachment portion is permanently connected to the attachment portion by its second end.
  • the user can not remove this second end which is mounted so as to be trapped inside the attachment part.
  • the snap of an article can be done simply, with only one hand holding the hooking portion and the first free end in a position away from the latter (latching member in the open position).
  • the user rotates the latching member by bringing the first free end against the latching portion with the article trapped in the loop formed by the body (closed position).
  • the attachment portion which pivots alone, or even the attachment portion and the attachment member towards each other.
  • the implementation therefore requires few operations and these are particularly simple.
  • the pivoting movement of the fastening member is simply because it is guided by the design of the rigid fastening member and its mobility relative to the fastening member. The user does not have to aim the housing to introduce the free end of the fastener.
  • the user can simply manipulate the body of the external member to the attachment portion to ensure the pivoting movement with one hand. He does not have to put his finger near the point.
  • the housing being remote from the tip, even if the user presses the free end of the body to introduce it into its housing, it is not likely to hurt on the tip.
  • the rigid coupling member is of purely mechanical design.
  • the rigid member is for example made of a wire, for example hardened steel (such as hooks or padlock handles).
  • the subject of the invention is a device for marking a packaged or non-packaged commercial article, the device comprising an axial point and a rigid fastening member intended to hook the device to a commercial article. or in its packaging, the attachment member comprising a body provided with a first free end and an opposite second end fixedly and permanently fixed to the device, the first free end being able to pivot about the second end; between a first position in which the first free end is remote from the device and a second position in which the first free end is disposed in a housing of the device which is remote from the axial point, the first free end being able to freely pass through position to another during its pivoting movement.
  • This device corresponds to the attachment portion of the marking device according to the invention and has the same characteristics and advantages which will not be repeated here.
  • the axial point is intended to cooperate and to lock with a complementary device of the marking device of known type for example, the first free end being able to move freely from one position to the other as long as the axial point does not cooperate with said complementary device.
  • the body 18 of the device 10 encloses a central cavity 19 in which are disposed the aforementioned ball locking means or other known locking means.
  • Several balls 19a are placed in a funnel part 19b inside the cavity, in the same plane and form between them a central space for receiving the tip 14.
  • the body also comprises a plate or plate 19c, for example substantially plane which closes the access to the inner portion of the body.
  • the central insertion orifice 20 of the tip is formed in the plate 19c. When the tip is inserted in this hole and in the inter-ball central space, the balls are wedged in the convergent portion of the funnel.
  • the balls are mounted on a support 19d of non-magnetic material, which is mounted on elastic means of non-magnetic material, such as a spring 19e.
  • the elastic means exert on the support 19d and thus on the balls an axial force which tends to push them further into the narrowest part of the funnel 19b.
  • the balls are made of a magnetic material.
  • Unlocking the tip and thus the decoupling or disassembly of the two parts 12 and 16 can only be performed by an unlocking tool, called decoupler, which comprises at least one permanent magnet.
  • the balls can be extracted from the convergent portion of the funnel under the action of the external magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet when the alignment axis of the funnel, balls and elastic means coincides with the axis of the magnetic field.

It can therefore be blunt while being as thin as before, which can be easily achieved from a second conventional portion 16 that would be "recycled” for the purposes of the present invention.
  • the tip is blunt also to avoid scratching the article inadvertently during the various manipulations.
  • the tip can be designed from the beginning by being thinner than before.
  • the tip 14 is carried by the second portion 16, while the tip insertion hole is arranged in the first portion 12 which further carries the locking means of the tip.
  • the structure of the first attachment portion is modified accordingly and, in particular, the thickness of the body 30 is increased to accommodate the tip and the locking means.
  • the annular rim 30c of protection of the interface between the two parts is arranged at the periphery of the second part 16 instead of the first part.
  • the external dimensions of the first part 12 can be reduced so that the second part 16 caps the first part by the annular rim forming a skirt.
  • the outer dimensions of the first portion 12 are not modified but an annular trench is formed in the inner face 30a of the first portion to accommodate the annular flange of the second portion.
  • the antitheft organ (s) 23 are housed in the first attachment part 12 instead of the second part.
  • This provision may require changing the structure of the two parts.
  • the figure 8 illustrates a second embodiment in which the attachment portion 70 differs from the attachment portion 12 of the figure 3 over there form of the attachment member 72.
  • the other elements are identical and retain the same references.
  • the bent portion 74 of the fastener has the appearance of a padlock loop with two parallel straight sections 74a, 74b and a circular arc-shaped section (eg semicircle) 74c.
  • the attachment member always has the general shape of a hook in the open position ( figure 8 ), which allows him to hang on for example the buckle of a belt, a strap / strap of a handbag, a handle of a suitcase ...
  • the difference in shape between the curved portions 38 and 74 of the respective figures 3 and 8 makes it possible to adapt to the shape of the commercial articles or, at least, to the shape of the portions of these articles to which the attachment parts of the devices must to be fixed.
  • FIGS. 9a and 9b represent a third embodiment in which the attachment portion 80 differs from the attachment portion 12 ( figure 3 ) by the shape of the attachment member 82.
  • the other elements are identical and retain the same references.
  • the bent portion 84 extends in a plane which is inclined relative to the plane in which extend the first and second opposite ends of which only the first free end 32a is shown.
  • the inclination relative to the body of the attachment portion 80 is more visible in profile view at the figure 9b . This inclination facilitates the establishment of the attachment part on certain articles according to the shapes of the latter.
  • the bent shape of the hooking portion 80 can adapt more easily to an article which has external surfaces that are not necessarily flat.
  • the attachment portion 80 and its second complementary portion 16 installed on the article the device is more close to the contours of the article than if the fastening member 82 was not inclined.
  • the attachment member 82 is inclined to cross and wrap around the loop, while the body of the device is arranged vertically along the vertically suspended belt.
  • the inclination of the attachment member 82 can facilitate the reading of information, especially when they are visible through the transparent hood (or glass) 52 of the figure 1 or through a protective film.
  • the inclination towards the front face 30a of the body, that is towards the tip ( figure 9b ), or to the opposite rear face depends on the article to which the device is to be locked, the presence or absence of information to be read on the device, as well as their location.
  • the angle of inclination of Figures 9a and 9b is for example 40 °. However, the value of this angle may vary, in particular according to the commercial article to which the device must be locked.
  • the inclination of the attachment member 82 also facilitates the unlocking of the device on an unlocking device such as a magnetic decoupler (with permanent magnet) for large items such as handbags .
  • a fourth embodiment of a hooking part 100 is illustrated on the figures 10a-e .
  • the attachment portion comprises a body 102 to which is attached in a hinged manner a fastening member 104.
  • the fastening member 104 has a general hook shape but which is different from that of the figure 3 .
  • It essentially comprises a bent portion 106 (body) in the form of an axis of circle extending greater than 180 ° and two opposite ends of which only the first free end 104a is shown.
  • the second end is identical to the second end 32b arranged in the cavity 40 of the figure 5 and which acts as a pivot axis.

  • the curved portion 106 is of a diameter smaller than that of the curved portion 38 of the figure 3 (the diameter of the recurved portion 38 corresponds substantially to that of the body 30). This smaller diameter (reduced size) allows to cling to a relatively small area of the article. Once hooked to the article, the device 100 occupies little space.
  • the bent portion partially penetrates inside the body 102 in the rotated / closed position ( figure 10c ). This is not the case in the Figures 1 to 6 where the bent portion 38 is fully arranged outside the body of the device, thereby to clear an enlarged space inside the bent portion.
  • the first free end 104a comprises a portion of the bent portion 106 and a curved end portion 106a1 identical to the end portion 32a2 of the figure 3 .
  • This first free end 104a is intended to be inserted into a housing or notch 108 of the body 102 ( figure 10c ) to close the hook / loop and to be able to trap / surround an item.
  • the housing 108 (remote from the tip 14) has an arcuate shape corresponding to the curvature of the first free end 104a to receive the latter.
  • the body 102 comprises an annular rim 102a (optional) similar to the rim 30c of the figure 3 , interrupted locally by the housing 108 and delimiting a hollow or internal recess 102b similar to the recess or recess 30d.
  • the orientation of the cavity materialized by the pivot axis A1 and the general or average orientation of the housing 108 are not parallel to each other but form a non-zero angle.
  • the curved portion 106 of the attachment member 104 is not flat and is not disposed in a plane perpendicular to the tip 14 but has a certain torsion visible at Figures 10d and 10e .
  • the bent portion extends from one end to the other of the latter along the thickness of the body 102. This twist facilitates the introduction of the bent portion on certain items such as shoes. .
  • the almost round shape of the curved portion 104, its diameter smaller than the diameter of the body 102 and the twisted or twisted shape allow it to fit easily through the eyelets of a shoe.
  • this attachment member thus allows it to be easily hooked by its curved hook / loop position through two adjacent eyelets of a shoe, that is to say in a relatively small area relative to those of the attachment zone of the attachment part 12 ( Fig. 3 ).
  • the figure 10e illustrates a device 110 comprising the attachment portion 100 and the second portion 16 of the Figures 1 and 2 assembled with each other in a locked manner to lock the hooking member / hook 104 in the closed position (in a manner identical to that described for the previous embodiments and variants).
  • the figure 11 illustrates the device 110 fixedly secured to a shoe 120 (eg basket) by passing the curved position (loop or ring) 106 through two adjacent eyelets 120a, 120b.
