Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Warensicherungsvorrichtung mit einem Gehäuse, einem in dem Gehäuse aufgenommenen Alarmgeber und einer Einrichtung zur Befestigung des Gehäuses an einer zu sichernden Ware oder Warenverpackung, wobei das Gehäuse eine Durchgangsöffnung aufweist, um eine gesicherte Ware oder Warenverpackung an einem Warenpräsenter aufzuhängen.The present invention relates to an article surveillance device with a housing, one housed in the housing Alarm device and a device for attachment the housing of a product or packaging to be secured, the housing having a through opening, to secure goods or packaging to hang up a goods presenter.

Warensicherungsvorrichtungen dieser Art, auch Tags genannt, werden in vielen Geschäften zur Sicherung von Waren gegen Diebstahl verwendet. Die Diebstahlsicherungsvorrichtungen besitzen einen Alarmgeber, beispielsweise auf der Basis eines Schwingkreises, auf Transponderbasis oder dergleichen und sind an der zu sichernden Ware oder deren Verpackung in einer Weise befestigt, die ein unerlaubtes Entfernen der Waren durch die Kunden unmöglich macht oder zumindest erheblich erschwert.Security devices of this type, also called tags, are used in many stores to secure goods used against theft. The anti-theft devices have an alarm, for example on the basis of a resonant circuit, on a transponder basis or the like and are on the goods to be secured or their packaging fastened in a way that is illegal Removal of goods by customers impossible makes or at least considerably more difficult.

Eine Warensicherungsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der US-PS-5,437,172 bekannt. Diese Warensicherungsvorrichtung besitzt einen plattenförmigen Grundkörper mit einem hakenförmigen Aufhänger, an dem ein Alarmgeber angebracht ist. Des weiteren ist eine Einrichtung vorgesehen, um eine Brille an der Warensicherungsvorrichtung anzubringen. Konkret erfolgt die Fixierung der Brille durch einen schmalen Kunststoffstreifen, der um den Nasenbügel der Brille gelegt und mit seinen beiden Enden in einen Schlitz des Grundkörpers eingeschoben und in der eingeschobenen Position durch einen Zapfen an der Befestigungseinrichtung arretiert werden kann.A security device of the type mentioned Art is known from US-PS-5,437,172. This security device has a plate-shaped body with a hook-shaped hanger on which a Alarm is attached. There is also a facility provided to put glasses on the security device to install. The fixation takes place the glasses through a narrow plastic strip that around the nose piece of the glasses and with his two Ends inserted into a slot of the base body and in the inserted position by a pin on the Fastening device can be locked.

Für die Sicherung von Textilwaren sind beispielsweise aus der US-PS-4,987,754 Diebstahlsicherungsvorrichtungen bekannt, die ein Gehäuse besitzen und an den Textilwaren durch einen am Gehäuse angebrachten Stift befestigt werden, der durch das Textilmaterial gestochen und durch ein Gegenstück gesichert wird.For example, for securing textile goods known from US-PS-4,987,754 anti-theft devices, which have a housing and on the textile goods are attached by a pin attached to the housing, which stuck through the textile material and through a Counterpart is secured.

Für die Sicherung von Waren, die in Blisterverpackungen verkauft werden wie beispielsweise Kopfhörern oder tragbaren Freisprecheinrichtungen für Mobilfunktelefone werden in erster Linie Sicherungsvorrichtungen in Form von Klebeetiketten verwendet. Diese Art der Sicherung ist jedoch mit verschiedenen Nachteilen behaftet. So kann ein Dieb bei kleinen Produkten die Blisterverpackung in relativ unauffälliger Weise öffnen und die Ware daraus entnehmen. Ein weiteres Problem besteht darin, daß der auf das Etikett aufgedruckte Schwingkreis bzw. die Übertragungsspule des Transponders ihre Eigenschaften bei Druckeinwirkung oder auch in der Nähe von Metall ändern, so daß sie nicht für alle Produkte geeignet und auch auf einfache weise manipuliert werden können. For securing goods in blister packs are sold such as headphones or portable Hands free kits for cellular phones primarily safety devices in the form of Adhesive labels used. However, this type of backup is has various disadvantages. So one can Thief in small products, the blister packaging in relative open inconspicuously and remove the goods from it. Another problem is that the on the resonance circuit or the transmission coil printed on the label the transponder's properties when exposed to pressure or change near metal, too that they are not suitable for all products and also on can be manipulated easily.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Warensicherungsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, die zur Sicherung von Elektronikprodukten in Blisterverpackungen geeignet ist.The object of the invention is therefore a goods security device of the type mentioned at the beginning, which are used for Securing electronic products in blister packs suitable is.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Gehäuse von zwei Gehäuseelementen gebildet wird, die durch die Befestigungseinrichtung miteinander lösbar verbunden, sind und zwischen den Gehäuseelementen ein Spalt gebildet wird, in dem eine Warenverpackung festgeklemmt werden kann.This object is achieved in that the Housing is formed by two housing elements that releasably connected to one another by the fastening device, are and a gap between the housing elements is formed in which a goods packaging is clamped can be.

Im Gegensatz zu den bekannten Warensicherüngsvorrichtunge, bei welchen eine Waren direkt an der Warensicherungsvorrichtung angebracht wird, schafft die Erfindung die Möglichkeit, Waren in ihren Verpackungen zu sichern, indem sie in dem zwischen den Gehäusehälften gebildeten Spalten festgeklemmt werden. Somit lassen sich Blisterverpackungen sichern, ohne daß diese hierzu speziell ausgebildet sein müßten oder besondere Befestigungselemente verwendet zu werden brauchen.In contrast to the known goods security devices, where goods are directly on the security device attached, the invention creates the Possibility to secure goods in their packaging by them in the one formed between the housing halves Columns are clamped. This allows blister packs secure without this specially trained should be or special fasteners need to be used.

Insbesondere lassen sich mit der erfindungsgemäßen Warensicherungsvorrichtung elektronische Bauteile in ihren Verpackungen sichern, wobei der Abstand zwischen der Ware und dem Alarmgeber vergleichsweise groß ist, so daß die elektronischen Bauteile die Eigenschaften des Alarmgebers kaum beeinflussen können. In particular, the security device according to the invention can be used electronic components in their Secure packaging, keeping the distance between the goods and the alarm device is comparatively large, so that the electronic components the properties of the alarm device can hardly influence.

Des weiteren eignet sich die Erfindung in bevorzugter Weise zur Sicherung von Blisterverpackungen, da diese an ihrer Öffnungsseite von dem Gehäuse so umschlossen werden können, daß sie nur durch Zerstörung der Verpackung geöffnet werden können.Furthermore, the invention is particularly preferred Way to secure blister packs as they stick to their opening side are so enclosed by the housing can open them only by destroying the packaging can be.

Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß eines der beiden Gehäuseelemente einen Vorsprung aufweist, in welchem die Durchgangsöffnung ausgebildet ist. In diesem Fall ist das Gehäuseelement mit dem Vorsprung etwas größer als das Gehäuseelement ohne Vorsprung ausgebildet, so daß der Vorsprung mit der Durchgangsöffnung vorsteht.In a further embodiment of the invention, that one of the two housing elements has a projection has, in which the through opening is formed is. In this case, the housing element with the Projection slightly larger than the housing element without a projection formed so that the projection with the through hole protrudes.

Zur lösbaren Fixierung des Gehäusedekkels 1a an dem Gehäusegrundkörper 1b ist eine Befestigungseinrichtung vorgesehen. Diese umfaßt einen an dem Gehäusedeckel 1a angebrachten Stift 6, der in eine an dem Gehäusegrundkörper 1b vorgesehene Aufnahme 7 eingreift und dort mittels eines ebenfalls nicht näher dargestellten Befestigungsmechanismus festgeklemmt wird, wobei die Verbindung in an sich bekannter Weise durch einen sehr starken Magneten wieder gelöst werden kann.In Figures 1 and 2 is an embodiment of a Anti-theft device according to the present invention shown, primarily for securing Goods are intended, which are bagged in blister packs are. The goods security device has a Housing 1 made of a dimensionally stable plastic material of a housing base body 1b, in which a cavity 3 to accommodate an alarm not shown is formed, and a lid detachably held thereon 1a is formed. For detachable fixing of the housing cover 1a on the housing base body 1b is a fastening device intended. This includes one at the Housing cover 1a attached pin 6, which in one on the Basic housing body 1b engages provided receptacle 7 and there by means of a likewise not shown Fastening mechanism is clamped, the Connection in a known manner by a very strong magnets can be released again.

Wie insbesondere in Figur 2 gut erkennbar ist, ist zwischen dem Gehäusedeckel 1a und dem Gehäusegrundkörper 1b in der unteren Gehäusehälfte, in der auch die Befestigungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, ein Spalt 4 belassen, in welchem die zu sichernde Blisterverpackung 2 festgeklemmt und zusätzlich mittels des Stiftes 6, der die Verpackung 2 durchgreift, gesichert ist.As can be seen particularly well in FIG. 2, there is between the housing cover 1a and the housing base body 1b in the lower half of the housing, in which also the fastening device is provided to leave a gap 4 in which the blister pack 2 to be secured is clamped and additionally by means of the pin 6, which the packaging 2 reaches through, is secured.

In seiner oberen Hälfte weist das Gehäuse 1 eine Durchgangsöffnung 8 auf, mit der die Warensicherungsvorrichtung zusammen mit der gesicherten Ware an einem Warenpräsenter 9, der in Figur 2 nur schematisch dargestellt ist, aufgehängt werden kann. The housing 1 has a through opening in its upper half 8 with which the anti-theft device together with the secured goods at a goods presenter 9, which is shown only schematically in FIG. 2, can be hung.

Im Gebrauch wird die zu sichernde Blisterverpackung 2 auf dem Gehäusegrundkörper 1b im Bereich der unteren Gehäusehälfte plaziert, und dann werden die Gehäuseelemente 1a, 1b zusammen gefügt, indem der Gehäusedeckel 1a auf den Gehäusegrundkörper 1b aufgesetzt wird, indem der Stift 6 durch die Blisterverpackung 2 gestochen bzw. eine in der Blisterverpackung vorgesehene Durchgangsöffnung geführt und in die Aufnahme 7 der Befestigungseinrichtung eingesetzt wird. Dabei wird die Blisterverpackung 2 zwischen den Gehäuseelementen 1a, 1b festgeklemmt. Auf diese Weise wird die Blisterverpackung 2 zuverlässig gegen Diebstahl gesichert, da die eingetütete Ware praktisch nur entwendet werden kann, indem die Blisterverpackung aufgerissen wird. Eine solche Beschädigung der Warenverpackung stellt jedoch eine hohe psychologische Barriere dar und ist daher unwahrscheinlich.In use, the blister pack 2 to be secured is opened the basic housing body 1b in the region of the lower housing half placed, and then the housing elements 1a, 1b joined together by the housing cover 1a on the Base body 1b is placed by the pin 6th stabbed through the blister pack 2 or one in the Blister packaging provided through opening and inserted into the receptacle 7 of the fastening device becomes.
