Abstract (en)
An anti-theft device for objects to be protected against theft, comprises a container for the objects, including a container lower-part (1), and a lid (2). A lock is provided between the lower-part and the lid, and there are means on the container for triggering an alarm. The lock includes a row of mutually spaced projections (4) provided on one of the lower-part and the lid and forming each a head (5) at a free end thereof, and a lock bar (6) with round or polygonal cross section mounted for axial displacement on the other one of the lower-part and the lid. The bar can be displaced between an engaged position in which it locks the lid to the lower-part, and a disengaged position in which it allows the lid to be opened. A spring tongue (9) protrudes against the bar and latches the bar in the engaged position but can be withdrawn from the bar by means of a special tool associated with the anti-theft device, to allow the bar to be displaced to the disengaged position unlocking the lid. The bar forms a number of notches (11) distributed along the bar with the same spacing as the projections and positioned in register with the projections in the disengaged position of the bar. The notches allow the bar to pass over the heads of the projections at closing of the lid. With the lid closed the bar engages behind the heads when displaced to the engaged position. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
