摘要： This invention relates to a security tag for use in a retail environment. In particular this invention relates to a security tag including a flexible member or lanyard that can be formed into a loop to attach the security tag to an article. A security tag comprises a main body comprising a casing having opposite first and second end walls; an elongate flexible member for securing around an object, a first end of the flexible member being connected to the main body; a releasable locking mechanism in the main body, the locking mechanism configured to retain a second end of the flexible member within the casing such that a part of the flexible member external to the casing forms a loop, the locking mechanism being releasable by application of a magnetic force such that the second end of the flexible member can be withdrawn from the casing; and two electronic article surveillance (EAS) sensors housed within the casing, a first one of the sensors being proximate the first end wall of the casing and a second one of the sensors being proximate the second end wall of the casing.

摘要： This invention relates to security tags for use in a retail environment. In particular, this invention relates to security tags that may be attached to an item and may be used to suspend or hang the item in a retail display. A security tag for attachment to an object comprises a main body including an electronic article surveillance (EAS) sensor and a first aperture; a retainer including a second aperture, the retainer being connected to the main body and being moveable between a first position and a second position relative to the main body; and a securing mechanism comprising a first part provided on the main body and a second part provided on the retainer. In the first position the securing mechanism is not engaged and an object is insertable between the main body and the retainer, and in the second position the securing mechanism is engaged to retain the retainer in the second position and the first aperture is aligned with the second aperture. The EAS sensor is configured to be deactivated.

摘要： This disclosure relates to security tags and in particular to electronic article surveillance (EAS) tags that are applied to items in a retail environment to deter theft of the items. A security tag comprises a main body, a tamper element and circuitry housed in the main body, the main body being connectable to the tamper element such that the tamper element completes a tamper circuit. The circuitry comprises an alarm system configured to be triggered when the tamper circuit is opened, a switch having a first state in which the alarm system is activated and a second state in which the alarm system is deactivated, and a latch element arranged to detect the state of the switch and being configured such that when the state of the switch changes from the first state to the second state the alarm system is permanently disabled.

摘要： A security tag for use in a retail environment comprises a main body housing circuitry, the circuitry comprising an oscillator module connected to a buzzer for producing an audible alarm and a switch, and an elongate lanyard extending from the main body and including a normally closed sense loop electrically connected to the circuitry. The switch comprises a transistor. The circuitry is configured such that if the lanyard is cut or otherwise damaged so as to create an open circuit in the sense loop the transistor switch triggers the oscillator module to emit the audible alarm.

摘要： A security tag comprises a first arm including a first clamping surface and a pin housing proximate a distal end of the first arm; a second arm including a second clamping surface and a clutch mechanism proximate a distal end of the second arm; a hinge connecting proximal ends of the first and second arms; and a curved pin having a tip. The security tag is moveable between an open configuration, in which the arms are in an open position with respect to each other such that there is a first gap between the first and second clamping surfaces and the curved pin is in a disengaged position and at least partially housed within the pin housing, and a locked configuration, in which the arms are in a closed position with respect to each other such that there is a second smaller gap between the first and second clamping surfaces and the curved pin is engaged with the clutch mechanism to retain the arms in the closed position.

摘要： A security tag including a flexible member that can be formed into a loop to attach the security tag to an article. A security tag comprises: a main body comprising a casing that comprises a first aperture proximate a first end wall and a second aperture proximate a second end wall; an elongate flexible member, a first end of the flexible member extending through the first aperture; a releasable locking mechanism in the main body and associated with the second aperture, the locking mechanism configured to retain a second end of the flexible member; and two electronic article surveillance sensors within the casing, the sensors on opposite sides of a plane disposed halfway between the first and second apertures. When the second end of the flexible member is retained in the casing by the locking mechanism, a centre of gravity of the main body lies in the plane.

摘要： The present invention relates to a security assembly, a protective enclosure and a method of protecting an item in a retail environment. An assembly comprises a security tag including a latch mechanism and attachment means, the attachment means being arranged to attach the security tag to an item and a part of the attachment means being releasably engageable with the latch mechanism; and a protective enclosure comprising retaining means arranged to engage a part of the security tag in order to lock the protective enclosure to the security tag and an internal space for receiving at least a part of the item, and wherein, in a locked configuration, the protective enclosure at least partially encloses the item and inhibits access to the item, and wherein disengagement of the attachment means from the latch mechanism simultaneously permits release of the security tag from the item and permits release of the protective enclosure from the security tag.
