(57) An apparatus (10) for applying/removing anti-theft devices constituted by a base
(12) to which a bridge-like assembly (13) is applied. The ends of the assembly are
suitable to enter corresponding seats (18) of the base (12) and remain locked therein
by means of an engagement mechanism of the type with interlocking teeth. The apparatus
comprises, on a contoured composite body (19) provided with a portion that can be
gripped by an operator, two tools (22,24) associated with actuation means (21) suitable
to produce their alternating movement, a first tool (22) being suitable, in cooperation
with a corresponding and complementarily shaped first base (23), to lock closed a
corresponding anti-theft device, a second tool (24) being suitable, in cooperation
with a corresponding and complementarily shaped second base (25), to open the device.
The first tool (22) comprises two parallel plates (27), which are mounted on a common
stem (26) in contact with the actuation means; the free edges of the plates are shaped
complementarily to the outer back of the bridge-like assembly (13). The first base
is shaped so as to keep the base in a corresponding position. The second tool comprises,
on a common stem (29) which is also associated when aligned with the actuation means,
two parallel C-shaped contoured elements (30), whose arms are suitable to enter and
push within the seats of the base in which the ends of the bridge-like assembly are
locked.
