Embodiment Construction

[0046] Various embodiments may refer to security systems. The security system can be, for example, an electronic article monitoring system. The electronic product monitoring system includes a security tag, a dismantling device and a monitoring system. In ordinary operation, a security tag may include a sensor such that the sensor emits a detectable signal when the security tag is in a monitored surveillance zone. A security tag can be attached to an item such as an article of clothing. A removal device may remove the security tag from the article. A surveillance system may monitor the controlled area and signal to ensure that the item with the security tag is not removed from the controlled area.

[0047] In one embodiment, the security tag may be, for example, a piece of rigid security tag designed for single use. The removal device removes the tag from the article in a manner that damages the tag and prevents its re-use. Because the security tags are designed for single...

Abstract

The security tag having an outer wall is attached to goods. The detaching device is equipped with two driver rodsand penetrates the outer wall of the security tag in order to detach the security tag from the goods. The security tag includes a tack shaped body and a clamp installed to the inside of the security tag in order to keep the tack shaped body in the security tag. The driver rod bends theclamp over a yield point in order to release the tack shaped body.A method and apparatus for a hard security tag and detaching device are described. The hard security tag may include a sensor to emita detectable signal when it is in a monitored surveillance zone. The hard security tag may be attached to an item, such as an article of clothing. The detaching device may detach the hard security tag from the item.

Description

technical field [0001] An electronic article surveillance system is designed to prevent unauthorized removal of articles from a controlled area. A typical electronic article surveillance system may include a surveillance system and one or more security tags. The surveillance system can form a surveillance zone at the point of entry to the control zone. Security tags may be fastened to monitored items such as articles of clothing. If the monitored item enters the monitored area, an alarm will be triggered, indicating that the monitored item has been removed from the controlled area without permission. Typically, security tags are attached to articles of clothing using metal pins with large heads. Background technique [0002] Security labels can be designed to be reused. For example, the security tag can be removed from the monitored item at the point of sale in a manner that does not substantially compromise the integrity of the security tag, either externally or interna...
