Definitions
- the present invention refers to a multifunction detaching device for magnetic anti-theft devices.
- the main commercially available magnetic anti-theft mechanisms are composed, in particular, but not in a limiting way, of anti- theft cases adapted to contain therein and to protect objects such', as, but not limited to, compact discs, DVD, musicassettes, videocassettes and the like, or of elongated anti-theft elements for eyeglasses, or of elements to be attached to garments and the like.
- Anti-theft mechanisms of this type are known in the art for years; in order to remove the objects contained therein, the ones operating with the magnetic attraction principle must be equipped with so-called “detaching devices” containing magnetic elements with various shapes and sizes: when the anti-theft mechanism is approached to such detaching devices, they magnetically attract the closing elements with which such anti-theft mechanisms are equipped and they allow opening these latter ones and extracting the object contained and protected therein.
- detaching devices containing magnetic elements with various shapes and sizes: when the anti-theft mechanism is approached to such detaching devices, they magnetically attract the closing elements with which such anti-theft mechanisms are equipped and they allow opening these latter ones and extracting the object contained and protected therein.
- Object of the present invention is solving the above prior-art problems, by providing a multifunction detaching device that allows opening a plurality of different types of magnetic anti-theft mechanisms with a single practical arrangement, with small sizes and composed of very few parts, which allows highly reducing its cost and making its application easier even in restricted areas.
- a further object of the present invention is providing a multifunction detaching device of the above-mentioned type that is further equipped with means preventing the undesired access to the detaching elements contained therein.
- the multifunction detaching device 1 for magnetic anti-theft mechanisms of the invention substantially comprises : a support body 2; at least one first magnetic detaching element 3 with an elongated shape; and at least one second magnetic detaching element 5 with a circular shape.
- the first and second magnetic detaching elements 3, 5 can be placed in a respectively coaxial position, in order to detach a magnetic anti-theft mechanism (for example an anti-theft case) that is equipped with blocking elements both of the lamellar spring type, and of the cylindrical pin-spring type.
- the detaching device 1 moreover can be used both for opening common anti-theft cases for compact discs, DVD, musicassettes, videocassettes, eyeglasses and the like, that need elongated detaching elements 3, and for opening anti-theft elements contained, for example, on garments, or on other types of anti-theft cases, that need detaching elements 5 with a circular shape.
- the detaching device 1, in its preferred embodiment adapted to prevent its illegal use, can be further equipped with anti—theft covering means 7 adapted to prevent an undesired access to the first and second magnetic detaching elements 3, 5.
- the anti-theft covering means 7 can be of the detachable type (as shown in the Figures) from the multifunction detaching device 1 upon their removal when it is necessary to activate the multifunction detaching device L, or, according to a not-shown alternative, the anti-theft covering means 7 can be realised integrally with the multifunction detaching device 1, and are adapted to be iifted away from and to allow accessing to the device 1 when it is necessary to activate it, but remain hinged thereto also during the opening step. Moreover, the anti-theft covering means 7 are equipped with blocking means 9 and are adapted to be placed above the multifunction detaching device 1 in order to cover the first and second magnetic detaching elements 3, 5.
- the blocking means 9 are composed of a latch element 11 and of a key 13 for its actuation between an opening position and a closing position of the anti-theft covering means 7.
- the latch element 11 is composed of a small elongated cylinder 14 equipped with a projecting tooth 15 adapted to engage a corresponding recess 16 obtained in the support body 2 to guarantee the closure of the anti-theft covering means 7 over the multifunction detaching device 1.
- the first magnetic detaching element 3 is composed of two elongated parrallelepiped-shape bars 18, 20 placed mutually paired and supported by a bearing element 21, preferably with a ciircular shape.
- the multifunction detaching device 1 further comprises first alignment means 22 that cooperate with the first magnetic detaching element 3 in order to align the area of the magnetic anti-theft mechanism to be subjected to detachment with the first magnetic detaching element 3.
- first alignment means 22 are composed of an elongated projection arranged in parallel with the first magnetic detaching element 3.
- the multifunction detaching device 1 further comprises second alignment means 24 that also cooperate with the first magnetic detaching element 3 in order to align the area of the magnetic anti-theft mechanism to be subjected to detachment with the first magnetic detaching element 3.
- the second alignment means 24 are composed of a small cylinder 26 and of a spring 28, both placed in the support body 2: the small cylinder 26 cooperates with the spring 28 that keeps the small cylinder 26 projecting outside the support body 2 to guarantee the abutment of a magnetic anti-theft mechanism to be detached on the first magnetic detaching element 3; due to its arrangement, moreover, the small cylinder 26, according to applications, is adapted to be pushed inside the support body 2 if it is not necessary that it projects from the support body 2 to guarantee an alignment.
- the support body 2 is equipped with at least one through-hole 30 adapted to allow securing the support body 2 to a surface (not shown) that must be unmovably equipped "with the multifunction detaching device 1 of the invention -
- the first and second magnetic detaching elements 3, 5 are made of magnetic material, while all other components of the multifunction detaching device 1 are made of light-weight metal (screw, small cylinder, spring) or plastic material, in order "to guarantee lightness, compactness and capability to be handled.
