Description

Anti-theft security system for products in labeled containers.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a system of security, specially designed to prevent theft in centers commercial and similar, of different types of products that sold in labeled containers.

The object of the invention is to prevent the classic chips used as security elements, can be detected and disabled in order to go through the box with the product in question, camouflaged, without it being detected by electronic media commonly used for this purpose.

Thus, the invention falls within the scope of security systems in department stores and other centers Similar commercials.

Background of the invention

The problem involved is well known for department stores theft or theft of items that certain public class generally hidden under their clothes to be able to extract them from the establishment without being discovered.

Personal surveillance systems result not very effective, especially when there is a large influx of people, for there is a general tendency to use systems electronic detection that allow to discover in a way Automatic theft attempts.

In this sense, chips are known electronic that, associated in one way or another to the object to protect, detect the presence of such an object, although it find hidden, when trying to get out of the establishment, chips that nevertheless are voidable in box, through the own ones reading means thereof existing in said box, when makes the payment of the object or product in question.

These chips have been evolving towards laminar structures, of very reduced thickness, and with each time a lower cost, so that its use was previously restricted to objects of relatively high values, which could absorb the cost of security, they are now usable in a much more generalized way.

These chips are usually marketed in form of continuous bands, fixed by adhesive to a sheet silicone paper base or similar, so that at the time of its use each chip is removable from the support sheet and fixed to any object to protect.

This visible arrangement of the chip and its fixation by contact tail, it makes such chips easily Removable large number of objects, leaving no trace to the effect, so it is very easy to remove an object from visible chip to be able to exit later with said hidden object without be detected

Such a problem has led to the concealment of chips, so that in certain types of packaging the chip is placed inside them, not being detectable at at first sight, a solution that is also not very effective for since the offender quickly accesses said information, especially considering that most of the packaging existing in the market are likely to open and return to close after examining inside.

In other cases the chip, after fixing by means of said contact adhesive to the external surface of the container in question, is hidden by a label, also self-adhesive that overlaps and fixes said chip, a solution that it is not definitive, much less, since the offender quickly senses that under this label the chip, especially considering the double staggering that These elements determine the general surface of the container.

Description of the invention

The system that the invention proposes is specifically intended for cardboard or similar containers, of very wide use in the field of products that are usually marketed in large establishments such as those mentioned, such as cardboard cartridges, bottle containers and other objects, which in some cases they are cylindrical and in other binoculars or other configurations, but maintaining as a common denominator the rigidity that confers to such packages the nature of the raw material from which they are constituted, that is, the
paperboard.

As is known, this type of packaging is manufactured from a tubular cardboard body, with the thickness and weight appropriate, which are complemented by a base and a lid, in occasions of other material, sometimes metallic, and at other times also of cardboard, finally customizing the said body by means of a wrapping sheet of paper, constituting a integral label that will completely hide the aforementioned body and which will give the latter its final finish, being said sheet of paper duly printed and decorated in accordance with the content intended for the package.

The system of the invention is also intended for cardboard containers that configure a box prismatic-rectangular, based on a tubular body which closes at its ends by different types of flaps and in which the outer surface of the box is coated also for an integrated label that hides the raw material of the box, that is to say the cardboard, and that confers to it, by proper printing and decoration, its final finish.

Well, the system that the invention proposes it consists of fixing the security chip on the base tubular body of cardboard, prior to fixing it to the complementary sheet or label, so that said chip is hidden by such strip and consequently be both invisible and inaccessible without the breakage of the latter, breakage that causes deterioration of the container

According to another of the characteristics of the invention is provided that the chip is located under the classic barcode that incorporates the foil or envelope label of paper, so that when going through the box and in the classic maneuver of reading said barcode for product billing, it produce the automatic chip override so that the product does not blow the alarm in the output sensor arcs of the establishment.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows an exploded perspective. of the different elements that participate in a container equipped with security system that is the subject of this invention.

Figure 2.- Shows, also according to a view in perspective, part of the set represented in the figure previous after the first phase of system implementation.

Figure 3.- Shows another perspective view, now of the completely finished container, with the security system Built-in and invisible

Figure 4.- Shows, finally, a view in perspective of another type of carton, labeled, provided of the security system of the invention.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the anti-theft security system that the invention proposed is specifically intended for packaging for different types of products, in which a tubular body (1) participates, of cardboard, which can adopt the cylindrical configuration represented in figures 1 to 3 or any other configuration, as per example the prismatic-quadrangular or rectangular represented in figure 4, in the first case said body being tubular (1) assisted by a base (2) attachable to one of its ends and a cover (3) attachable to the other, and complementing the tubular body (1) with a wrap sheet (4), of paper, which It constitutes an integral label for the package itself (1), carrier of any type of information or decoration (5) and from the classic barcode (6).

In figure 1 and next to the elements participants in the package, the classic one has also been represented continuous band (7) of paraffin paper or similar, which constitutes the physical support for a plurality of structuring chips (8) laminar and self-adhesive, which when passing through the detectors of the establishment sounds the corresponding alarm and that should be unused in box to avoid such signaling.

Well, according to the system of the invention, a security chip (8) is integrated in the package itself, specifically by fixing directly to the tubular body (1) of cardboard, as shown in figure 2, to be posterior and definitely hidden by the wrap and paper sheet (4), such as shown in figure 3, so that the presence of said chip (8) goes unnoticed by the observer, and its position in the context of the packaging it is very difficult to detect.

In order to facilitate functional cancellation of the chip (8) in box, the position chosen for the same on the tubular and cardboard body (1) is appropriate so that when the envelope sheet (4) is implanted on the latter, the barcode (6) that incorporates the latter is superimposed to the chip (8), so that parallel and simultaneously to the reading of the bar code (6), to extract the information from it corresponding to the nature and price of the product, it is produced on the chip (8) the signal necessary to cause the short-circuited and consequent functional cancellation thereof, of so that the chip override maneuver not only results void in itself, as a result of a different maneuver, but goes unnoticed by both the cash staff and the general public.

The structuring described is equally valid for a prismatic-rectangular box type container, as shown in figure 4, being able to place the chip (8) over any point on its lateral surface, or even over any of its bases or closing flaps.

In the case of a tubular body and cylindrical as in the case of figures 1 to 3, the chip (8) it can also be established in any of its bases, always and when they are also made of cardboard.
