Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the availability of a security tag which is used for an electronic article monitor system which detects the presence of the tag in a monitor area by using electromagnetic energy of frequency in a specific detection frequency range. SOLUTION: A resonance circuit includes an inductor formed at least at a part of one main surface of a substrate 12. A 1st perforation path 34 composed of a series of perforations 32 at separated at intervals extends along a line crossing the substrate 12 while penetrating at least part of the inductor. For use, the security tag 10 is attached to an article and stress is given to the article as a result of normal or ordinary use. The stress given to the tag 10 breaks the tag 10 and inductor along the 1st perforation path 34, and consequently closed path conditions that prevent the resonance circuit from resonating are generated.

Abstract: A multi-attach reusable security tag that is attached to an article in two stages, a first stage, an attachment clip is coupled to an article, to be protected by a manufacturer. This attachment clip is durable to withstand harsh manufacturing environments. When article is ready for presentation during a second stage, the attachment clip is then secured in a releasable locking mechanism of a housing containing a security element therein. The security element may comprise EAS, RFID elements or any combination thereof. Alternatively, a fluke element can be used to secure the attachment clip to the releasable locking mechanism and wherein this fluke element permits the attachment clip to swivel outside ofthe housing. Preferred embodiment of the security tag uses non-ferrous components. Security tags combine the qualities of being non-ferrous, light-weight, low cost, deactivatable, secure, visually-deterring, and installable in two stages to the article it is meant to protect.

Abstract: The security tag used for detecting the presence of the tag within a surveilled area utilises electromagnetic energy at a frequency within a predetermined detection frequency range. It includes a dielectric substrate having two opposing principle surfaces and a resonant circuit capable of resonating at a frequency within the predetermined detection frequency range. The resonant circuit includes an inductor formed at least in part on one of the principal surfaces of the substrate. A first perforation path formed of a series of spaced apart perforations extends along a line across the substrate and through at least a portion of the inductor such that a stress exerted on the tag breaks the tag and the inductor along the first perforation path, causing an open circuit condition which prevents the resonant circuit from resonating. In use, the security tag is affixed to an article and the stress applied to the article is a result of normal or ordinary use of the article.

Abstract: Una etiqueta de seguridad de conformidad con un sistema electronico de vigilancia de artículos para detectar la presencia de la etiqueta dentro de un área de vigilancia utilizando energía electromagnética a una frecuencia dentro de una escala de frecuencia de deteccion predeterminada incluye un substrato dieléctrico que tiene primera y segunda superficies principales opuestas y un circuito resonante capaz de rasonar a una frecuencia dentro de la escala de frecuencia de deteccion predeterminada. El circuito resonante incluye un inductor formado por lo menos en parte sobre una de las superficies principales del substrato. Una primera trayectoria de perforaciones formada de una serie de perforaciones separadas se extiende a lo largo de una línea a través del substrato y a través de por lo menos una parte del inductor de tal manera que el esfuerzo ejercido sobre la etiqueta rompe la etiqueta y el inductor a lo largo de la primera trayectoria de perforaciones, produciendo una condicion de circuito abierto que evita que el circuito resonante resuene; durante el uso, la trayectoria de seguridad se fija a un artículo y el esfuerzo aplicado al artículo es un resultado de uso normal u ordinario del artículo.

Abstract: A security hard tag (20) uses an attachment clip (24) to couple to an article (3), such as, but not limited to, clothing, to be protected and which can only be released from the article by use of an authorized detacher that is inserted into the security hard tag. The attachment clip (24) may include various types of locking mechanisms on its two ends, one end which is permanently secured within the security hard tag housing and the other end which is releasably secured within the housing. Before being releasably secured within the housing, the one end is inserted through or around a portion of an article, or through a security tag loop attached to the article, and then that end is locked into the housing. The detacher (28) uses a cam (28B), either located on the detacher itself or positioned within the security hard tag housing, to interact with the one end of the 'attachment clip to release the locked end. The housing includes a security element and/or a benefit denial. The tag may consist of non-ferrous components only including its locking mechanism.
