International Classification:

G08B 21/00
B65D 77/00

US Classification:

206216, 340654

Abstract:

A security device having a flexible material into which a product may be sealed and unauthorized removal of the product triggers a security alarm. The security device includes a flexible material adapted to house a product therein and is operable in a sealed orientation when the product is sealed within the flexible material and in an open orientation when the product is accessible from within the flexible material. Conductive material is affixed to the flexible material and forms a closed electrical circuit with an alarming device when the security device is in the sealed orientation and an open electrical circuit when the circuit is opened. The security alarm is triggered when the electrical circuit is opened.

Assignee:

SENSORMATIC ELECTRONICS, LLC - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

G08B 13/14
E05B 73/00

US Classification:

3405721, 70 58

Abstract:

A tag having a magnetic clamp for use in securing an item in order to prevent the unauthorized removal of the item from, for example, a retail store. The magnetic tag includes an attachment element that secures the item to the tag. A clamp having a locking region secures the attachment element such that the item cannot be separated from the tag. A keyed magnetic element on the clamp includes one or more hard magnets, where each hard magnet has either an outward-facing north or south polarity. By applying a magnetic force to the magnets, the locking region moves away from the attachment element thus allowing the item to be removed from the tag. The arrangement of magnets operates as a “key” and only a detacher unit with an identical magnetic pattern can apply the requisite magnetic force to the magnets to disengage the clamp from the attachment element to allow removal of the tag from the item.

Appl. No.:

12/907150

Inventors:

Justin STEWART - Boca Raton FL, US

Assignee:

SENSORMATIC ELECTRONICS, LLC - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

G09F 3/03
B23P 11/00

US Classification:

292307 A, 2952508

Abstract:

A security tag that includes two different types of item-securing mechanisms within a single apparatus. The apparatus includes a first arm portion and a second arm portion forming a product clamping region, the product clamping region having a clamp to removably affix the tag to a product, and a third arm portion and a fourth arm portion forming a product piercing region, the product piecing region coupled to the product clamping region. The product piercing region includes a product piercing element to removably affix the tag to the product. Bringing together the arm portions of the product piercing region causes the arm portions of the clamping region to join together, thereby trapping a piece of a product therebetween. The piercing element of the product piercing region is retained by a latch which assists in keeping the arm portions of the clamping region together, thus retaining the product securely within the clamping region.

Inventors:

Justin Stewart - Deerfield Beach FL, US
Ronald B. Easter - Parkland FL, US

Assignee:

Tyco Fire & Security GmbH - Neuhausen Am Rheinfall

International Classification:

E05B 73/00
G08B 13/14

Abstract:

A system is provided. The system includes a detacher. The detacher includes a field source. The field source is arranged to provide a first magnetic field when power is applied to the field source. The detacher further includes a magnet arranged to provide a second magnetic field. The magnet is movable from a non-detach position to a detach position when exposed to the first magnetic field. The second magnetic field is arranged to unlock a security tag when the magnet is at the detach location. The system further includes an activation device. The activation device includes a processor configured to trigger power to be supplied to the field source.

Assignee:

Tyco Fire & Security GmbH - Neuhausen Am Rheinfall

International Classification:

G08B 13/24
H02K 35/02
B81B 3/00
H02N 2/18

Abstract:

Systems and methods for harvesting mechanical energy in a security tag. The methods involve: applying by a tool a pushing force so as to cause a securement mechanism disposed within the security tag to deform; transferring mechanical energy to a spring sleeve when the securement mechanism deforms due to loading applied by the tool; using an energy harvester (e.g., a piezo element or a magnet/solenoid element) to harness the mechanical energy applied by the tool, where the energy harvester is at least partially coupled to the securement mechanism; and converting the mechanical energy to electrical energy. The energy harvester is disposed between the securement mechanism and an Electronic Article Surveillance (“EAS”) or Radio Frequency IDentification (“RFID”) component of the security tag.

Abstract:

An apparatus () comprising: first and second structural parts () that are formed of a rigid material or a semi-rigid material; and a bond comprising a first adhesive () and at least one conductive member () disposed in a bonding area () between the first and second structural parts so as to securely couple the first and second structural parts together. The cure time of the first adhesive is decreased and a strength of the bond is increased during a bonding process by increasing a temperature of the first adhesive using the conductive member having electricity traveling therethrough.
