Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hard labels, and in particular to a hard label. Background Technology

[0002] Existing hard tags typically use a separate hard tag and pin design. To use them, the pin is threaded through the clothing and inserted into the lock cylinder of the hard tag to lock it. At checkout, the clothing with the hard tag is placed on an unlocker, the pin is removed, and placed in a recycling bin. This process is cumbersome and time-consuming. Furthermore, the operator's hand is frequently pricked when threading the tag through the clothing. When removing the pin, it may remain on the clothing, potentially injuring the customer while wearing the garment, or the pin may fall elsewhere and injure the staff or customer.

[0003] Therefore, making the use of hard labels simpler and safer has become a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0064] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0065] See Figures 1 to 15 In specific embodiment 1, a hard label is provided, comprising a label housing 1 consisting of a first housing 11 (e.g., a front housing) and a second housing 12 (e.g., a rear housing), a button 2, an elastic element 3, a lock cylinder 4, and an anti-theft pin 5 connected to the button 2. The label housing 1 forms a recess 13 and an opening 14 for the button 2 to move up and down. The lock cylinder 4 and the elastic element 3 are fixedly disposed within the label housing 1. One end of the elastic element 3 is connected to the label housing 1, and the other end of the elastic element 3 is connected to the button 2. The anti-theft pin 5 is driven by the button 2 to move up and down within the label housing 1. The anti-theft pin 5 includes a needle tail section 54 for embedding into the lock cylinder 4, a needle tip section 52 for penetrating the recess 13 of the label housing 1, and a connecting section 53 for connecting to the button 2. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be connected by ultrasonic welding to form the label housing 1.

[0066] The anti-theft pin 5 is an inverted U-shape, with the middle horizontal section of the U-shape being Z-shaped. The middle horizontal section of the U-shape includes a higher horizontal section 533 connected to the pin tail section 54, a middle vertical section 532, and a lower horizontal section 531 connected to the pin tip section 52. The middle vertical section 532, the higher horizontal section 533, and part of the pin tail section 54 form the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5. While ensuring the stability of the pressing force of the button 2, the size of the button 2 is reduced, thus reducing the overall volume of the hard label.

[0067] Button 2 has an outwardly extending portion 21 at its bottom, such as extending towards the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The extension portion 21 has a guide groove 211. The inner wall of the label housing 1 has a vertical guide rib 15, and the guide groove 211 and the guide rib 15 are matched. The extension portion 21 corresponds to the inner wall of the label housing 1 near the opening 14. For example, when button 2 rebounds upward under the action of the spring or is pulled upward, the extension portion 21 abuts against the inner wall of the label housing 1 near the opening 14, which limits the button 2 and prevents the button 2 from detaching from the label housing 1.

[0068] When button 2 is pressed down or springs back up, button 2 moves up and down along guide rib 15 with the help of guide groove 211, ensuring that the movement direction of button 2 is accurate and does not deviate. In this embodiment 1, the extension 21 at the bottom of button 2 corresponding to the side of the first housing 11 is the front extension 21, which is provided with two guide grooves 211 that match the two corresponding guide ribs 15 on the inner sidewall of the first housing 11; the extension 21 at the bottom of button 2 corresponding to the side of the second housing 12 is the rear extension 21, which is provided with two guide grooves 211 that match the two corresponding guide ribs 15 on the inner sidewall of the second housing 12.

[0069] Preferably, the cross-section of the guide groove 211 and the cross-section of the guide rib 15 are both triangular and their shapes match. This design can also help limit the movement between the button 2 and the label housing 1, such as limiting the movement in the left and right directions, ensuring that the tip 51 of the anti-theft pin 5 is always aligned with the pin tip mounting groove 131. When the anti-theft pin 5 is pressed down, the tip 51 can be accurately embedded into the mounting groove without damaging the pin tip, making it easy to reuse the hard label and improving the service life of the hard label.

[0070] The hard tag also includes a pin buckle 6, which clamps the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5 and then engages with the button 2.

[0071] The pin buckle 6 includes a first vertical limiting block 61 and a second vertical limiting block 62 connected by a connecting part 69. A first concave space 65 for placing the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5 is formed between the first vertical limiting block 61, the second vertical limiting block 62 and the connecting part 69. The top surface of the connecting part 69 corresponding to the bottom of the first concave space 65 is a support surface 66 for supporting the anti-theft pin 5.

[0072] The first vertical limiting block 61 and the second vertical limiting block 62 are each provided with an upper notch 63; the first vertical limiting block 61 and the second vertical limiting block 62 are also provided with locking feet 64, and the extension 21 of the button 2 is provided with a locking hole 212 or a locking groove. The locking feet 64 match the locking holes 212 or locking grooves to realize the locking of the pin buckle 6 and the button 2. When the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5 is placed in the first concave space 65 and on the support surface 66, the pin buckle 6 with the anti-theft pin 5 is embedded into the button 2. At this time, the second reinforcing rib 23 in the button 2 is embedded in the upper notch 63. The upper notch 63 is used to provide clearance space for the second reinforcing rib 23 and also to provide a lateral limiting function between the button 2 and the pin buckle 6.

[0073] The first vertical limiting block 61 has a lower notch 68 next to the locking foot 64, and the second vertical limiting block 62 has a lower notch 68 next to the locking foot 64. The two lower notches 68 provide the possibility and clearance space for the corresponding locking foot 64 to deform. For example, during the process of the pin buckle 6 being inserted into the button 2, the two locking feet 64 are squeezed by the side wall of the button 2 and deformed towards the inside of the pin buckle 6 until the locking foot 64 reaches the position of the corresponding locking hole 212. The locking foot 64 then springs back and is inserted into the corresponding locking hole 212, completing the locking operation between the button 2 and the pin buckle 6.

[0074] The bottom of the upper notch 63 is lower than the support surface 66, forming a step 67. The button 2 has a second reinforcing rib 23, and the bottom of the second reinforcing rib 23 has a recessed fixing groove 231 for the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5. When the second reinforcing rib 23 and the pin buckle 6 clamp the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5, the bottom end of the second reinforcing rib 23 abuts against the step 67. The pin buckle 6, carrying the anti-theft pin 5, is embedded into the button 2. The first vertical limiting block 61, the second vertical limiting block 62, the support surface 66, and the recessed fixing groove 231 cooperate to clamp the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5. At this time, the second reinforcing rib 23 and the support surface 66 achieve an effect similar to an interference fit, forming a closed loop on the cross-section to clamp the anti-theft pin 5. Simultaneously, the design of the step 67 also increases the limiting effect between the pin buckle 6 and the button 2 in the front-back direction. The recessed fixing groove 231 has an arc-shaped cross-section, matching the shape and size of the anti-theft pin 5.

[0075] The button 2 is also provided with an arc-shaped groove 22 for abutting against the tail section 54 of the anti-theft pin 5. For example, the groove is a vertical strip with an arc-shaped cross section. The arc-shaped groove 22 can cooperate with the side wall of the inner recess 13 of the button 2 near the label housing 1 to provide left and right and front and back directions for the anti-theft pin 5, help fix the anti-theft pin 5, ensure its accurate up and down movement, ensure that the tail end 55 of the tail section 54 can be accurately embedded into the lock cylinder 4, and the tip 51 can be accurately embedded into the placement groove. The placement groove is set on the inner side of the inner recess 13 and corresponds to the inlet and outlet 132 of the anti-theft pin 5 set on the other inner side of the inner recess 13.

[0076] The tag housing 1 also contains an RFID Inlay 8, which is actually the core component of the RFID tag, consisting of an antenna, substrate, adhesive, chip, etc. After the core component is packaged, it becomes an RFID electronic tag. The tag housing 1 also contains an AM / RF magnetic rod 9, which refers to an AM magnetic rod (i.e., an acoustomagnetic rod) or an RF magnetic rod (i.e., a radio frequency rod). Flat slots 18 are provided around the edges of the tag housing 1. The RFID Inlay 8 is in the shape of a C-shaped or U-shaped thin sheet and is fixed in the adjacent flat slots 18, which saves space and increases the length of the RFID Inlay 8, thus helping to enhance the performance of the RFID Inlay 8.

[0077] The hard tag in this embodiment 1 is a performance-enhanced AM-RFID dual-frequency tag with different frequency band functional combinations. A long, rectangular RFID inlay 8 is used to place the tag along the flat grooves 18 around the perimeter of the tag housing 1 to achieve high-performance RFID functionality. Space is also provided for AM / RF magnetic rods 9 to achieve full coverage of various frequency bands: RF (8.2MHz), AM (45KHz), RFID (860-960MHz), RF+RFID (8.2MHz+860-960MHz), and AM+RFID (45KHz+860-960MHz), adapting to different equipment in various stores.

[0078] The label housing 1 contains a limiting rib 16 corresponding to the needle tip 52 of the anti-theft needle 5. For example, the limiting rib 16 of the first housing 11 and the limiting rib 16 of the second housing 12 limit the needle tip 52 of the anti-theft needle 5 from the front-back direction, ensuring that the needle tip 52 does not deviate during vertical movement, better penetrating clothing and other items, and that the needle tip 51 is more accurately embedded in the needle tip placement groove 131. Alternatively, a first reinforcing rib 19 can be added to the right side of the needle tip 52 of the anti-theft needle 5 inside the label housing 1. The first reinforcing rib 19 limits the needle tip 52 of the anti-theft needle 5 from the right side, and together with the limiting rib 16, ensures that the needle tip 52 of the anti-theft needle 5 moves vertically up and down.

[0079] The label housing 1 has a U-shaped mounting portion 17 for connecting the elastic element 3, ensuring that the spring (elastic element) is provided with vertical support force, so that the spring can provide vertical rebound force or tension force to the button 2. The needle tail section 54 of the anti-theft pin 5 is placed in the first hollow portion 171 in the middle of the U-shaped mounting portion 17, which plays a limiting role for the needle tail section 54 of the anti-theft pin 5, such as limiting it in the left and right directions.

[0080] The bottom of the side wall of the button 2 near the recessed part 13 of the label housing 1 is also provided with an auxiliary limiting groove 25 for limiting the anti-theft pin 5, which further helps the positioning of the connecting section 53 or the lower lateral section 531 of the anti-theft pin 5 in the front and rear directions.

[0081] The inner side of one side of the recessed portion 13 of the label housing 1 is provided with an inlet and outlet 132 for the anti-theft needle 5 to enter and exit, and the inner side of the other side of the recessed portion 13 of the label housing 1 is provided with a needle tip placement groove 131 for receiving the needle tip 51 of the anti-theft needle 5 after it has been moved down; the needle tail end 55 of the needle tail section 54 is embedded in the lock cylinder 4 to lock the anti-theft needle 5.

[0082] In this embodiment 1, when using the hard tag, simply insert the clothing into the recess 13 of the tag housing 1, press button 2, and button 2 will move the anti-theft pin 5 inside the tag housing 1 downwards. The position before downward movement is the original position. The tip 51 of the anti-theft pin 5 passes through the clothing in the recess 13 of the tag housing 1 and is embedded in the pin tip placement groove 131. The tail end 55 of the anti-theft pin 5 is embedded in the lock cylinder 4 and locked by the lock cylinder 4, thus locking the hard tag to the clothing. When unlocking is required, place the locked hard tag on the unlocker. The lock cylinder 4 unlocks and releases the tail end 55 of the anti-theft pin 5. Under the action of the elastic element 3 (such as a spring), button 2 automatically pops open and moves the anti-theft pin 5 upwards. The tip 51 of the anti-theft pin 5 moves upwards from the pin tip placement groove 131, passes through the clothing (i.e., the anti-theft pin 5 separates from the clothing), until it retracts to its original position inside the tag housing 1 for reuse. When using it again, there is no need to look for the anti-theft pin 5. Just press button 2. It is simple to operate, time-saving and safe.

[0083] During this process, the anti-theft pin 5 is concealed within the hard tag housing 1 or within the recessed portion 13 of the tag housing 1. When in use, simply press button 2 to pass through the clothing, thus protecting it. For payment, simply place the hard tag on the unlocker for automatic unlocking. The entire operation is extremely simple, saving store staff time and eliminating the risk of the anti-theft pin 5 being lost or left on clothing, potentially injuring staff or customers.

[0084] See Figures 17 to 20 In specific embodiment 2, a hard label is provided. The difference between embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the hard label in embodiment 2 does not require a pin buckle 6. The connection and fixation between the button 2 and the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5 are achieved using the L-shaped groove 232 of the second reinforcing rib 23 within the button 2. Specifically, the button 2 also has an arc-shaped groove 22 for abutting against the tail section 54 of the anti-theft pin 5. The arc-shaped groove 22 provides positioning for the anti-theft pin 5 in the left and front-back directions. The button 2 has a second reinforcing rib 23 with an L-shaped groove 232. The section of the L-shaped groove 232 parallel to the side wall of the button 2 and open at its end is a first channel 2321. The section of the L-shaped groove 232 perpendicular to the side wall of the button 2 and communicating with the first channel 2321 is a first fixing groove 2322. The first fixing groove 2322 provides fixing for the anti-theft pin 5 in the vertical direction.

[0085] After the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5 is embedded in the button 2, it first moves along the first channel 2321 into the button 2, then embeds itself into the first fixing groove 2322, and then moves towards the arc groove 22, so that the pin tail section 54 of the anti-theft pin 5 is embedded in the arc groove 22, thus completing the installation and fixing of the anti-theft pin 5 and the button 2. The operation is simple, no pin buckle 6 is needed, and production costs are saved.

[0086] The auxiliary limiting groove 25 is strip-shaped. When the anti-theft pin 5 is inserted into the first fixing groove 2322 from the first channel 2321, it provides space for the forward and backward movement of the connecting section 53 or the lower lateral section 531 of the anti-theft pin 5.

[0087] See Figures 21 to 22 In specific embodiment 3, a hard label is provided. The difference between embodiment 3 and the previous embodiments is that the hard label in embodiment 3 does not require the pin buckle 6 design. The connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5 is embedded in the button 2. The button 2 also has an arc-shaped groove 22 for abutting against the pin tail section 54 of the anti-theft pin 5. The button 2 is manufactured using injection molding. The one-piece injection molding process of the button 2 encapsulates the anti-theft pin 5, making the connection and fixation between the anti-theft pin 5 and the button 2 more secure.

[0088] See Figures 23 to 26 In specific embodiment 4, a hard label is provided. This embodiment differs from the previous embodiments in that the hard label further includes a stop member 7 to prevent the button 2 from being pressed. A stop groove 24 is also provided on the bottom of the side wall of the button 2 away from the recessed portion 13 of the label housing 1. The stop member 7 matches the stop groove 24 to prevent the button 2 from being accidentally pressed. For example, during the transportation of the hard label, the button 2 may be pressed due to accidental collision or human error, causing the hard label to be locked. When using the hard label, store sales staff would need to add an unlocking process before locking the clothing for formal use, increasing their workload. To overcome this problem, in this embodiment 4, the stop member 7 is embedded in the stop groove 24 and placed on the surface of the label housing 1. The stop member 7 effectively prevents the button 2 from being accidentally pressed. When using the hard label, store sales staff can simply pull out the stop member 7 to normally lock the product (such as clothing) and achieve product protection.

[0089] The stop member 7 is U-shaped, and the two ends of the stop member 7 have protrusions of different heights, namely a high protrusion 72 and a low protrusion 71. The outer side of the low protrusion 71 is connected to a first buckle 711 and a second buckle 712 for matching with the stop groove 24. The bottom of the low protrusion 71 is provided with a third buckle 713 for matching with the opening 14 of the housing 1. A second hollow portion 716 is provided between the first buckle 711 and the second buckle 712. The ends of the first buckle 711 and the second buckle 712 are provided with corresponding first conical surfaces 714 and second conical surfaces 715, which together form a spindle-like structure. When the ends of the first buckle 711 and the second buckle 712 need to be inserted into the stop groove 24, the first conical surface 714 abuts against the stop groove 24, and the first buckle 711 and the second buckle 712 are compressed into the second hollow portion 716 and deformed, so that the ends of the first buckle 711 and the second buckle 712 can be inserted into the stop groove 24. At the same time, the third buckle 713 forms a snap-fit ​​with the opening 14 of the housing 1, which further helps to fix the position of the stop member 7 with the button 2 and the housing 1. When it is necessary to remove the stop 7 from the stop groove 24, the store salesperson uses the high protrusion 72 to lift the stop 7, so that the third buckle 713 of the stop 7 separates from the opening 24. Then, the high protrusion 72 is used to pull the stop 7 outward. The second conical surface 715 of the end of the first buckle 711 and the second buckle 712 abuts against the stop groove 24. The first buckle 711 and the second buckle 712 are compressed and deformed into the second hollow part 716, so that the end of the first buckle 711 and the second buckle 712 can be pulled out from the stop groove 24, realizing the removal operation of the stop 7, which facilitates the normal use of the button 2 of the hard label.

[0090] In specific embodiment 5, a hard tag is provided. The difference between this embodiment 5 and the previous embodiments is that the anti-theft pin 5 is inverted U-shape, and the middle horizontal section of the U-shape is the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5. The button 2 is connected and fixed to the connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5. The connecting section 53 of the anti-theft pin 5 is longer, and the button 2 is also larger. The button 2 can provide stronger downward pressing force for the anti-theft pin 5, so that the anti-theft pin 5 can move down more quickly. After the needle tip 51 of the anti-theft pin 5 passes through the clothing, it is embedded in the needle tip placement groove 131, and the needle tail 55 of the anti-theft pin 5 is embedded and locked.
