[0001] The present invention refers to an improved anti-theft case, in particular for containers
of relatively costly items, such as cosmetic and beauty products, watches or the like,
and of the type comprising extraction-preventing means of such items inside the case,
that can be activated and/or only deactivated by means of detaching devices available
for service personnel, while inside the case, together with such items, anti-theft
means are housed, in a position that cannot be accessed, such as magnetic labels,
radiofrequency-emitting labels or the like, cooperating with detecting barriers.
[0002] Cases of this type are known. They are composed of a box, typically made of a transparent
material such as polycarbonate, to allow seeing the item arranged inside the case,
and of a cover or an item-supporting base hinged to the box to be able to be opened
and closed again, such base or cover, once having inserted the item inside the case,
being blocked onto the box by means of locking pins or blades that can be actuated
to allow afterwards re-opening the case through key-type or magnetic detaching devices.
Examples of such cases are disclosed in
US-A-7228963,
WO-A-9705354,
WO-A-2006080882.
[0003] Such known cases however have some inconveniences that make them still relatively
vulnerable to tampering attempts and to the theft of items contained therein. In fact,
once having closed and blocked the cover or base onto the box, not only the connecting
hinge between these two elements remains visible and accessible, but, between the
base or cover and the box, the contact line between their respective edges remains
exposed: these two aspects can allow, for example by levering with a screw-driver
or another suitable tool, along the hinge or along such contact line between base/cover
and box, breaking the hinge, base and/or box themselves and the consequent fraudulent
opening of the case.
[0004] Moreover, known cases provide for locking the box along a single side of the cover/base,
making again relatively easy to open it.
[0005] Moreover, in known cases, the projection through which it is possible to unlock and
open the case through a known magnetic detaching device is visible and exposed, making
thereby easy to locate and tamper with it, for example through a tool or the exposure
to a high source of heat, such as for example the flame of a lighter, that makes them
melt and makes the locking pin arranged therein go out.
[0006] Therefore, object of the present invention is providing an improved anti-theft case
comprising at least one box and a related door adapted to be opened and in which,
once having closed and locked such door onto the box, both the edge of this latter
one and the connecting hinge between box and door are completely contained inside
the door itself, remaining therefore invisible and inaccessible from the outside.
[0007] Another object of the present invention is providing an improved anti-theft case
in which the projection for applying the magnetic detaching device is not projecting
and is hidden in at least one door corner, making thereby difficult to locate it and
scarcely easy to tamper with it, and making the case less encumbrant and aesthetically
more pleasant.
[0008] The above and other objects and advantages of the invention, as will appear from
the following description, are obtained by an improved anti-theft case as claimed
in Claim 1. Preferred embodiments and non-trivial variations of the present invention
are claimed in the dependent Claims.
[0009] It is intended that all enclosed claims are an integral part of the present disclosure.
[0010] The present invention will be better described by some preferred embodiments thereof,
given as a nonlimiting example, with reference to the enclosed drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the anti-theft
case according to the present invention;
- Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of an anti-theft case which is not forming
part of the invention.
- Figure 3 is a view of another anti-theft case which is not according to the present
invention;
- Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the anti-theft case of Figure 2;
- Figure 5a is a perspective view of the anti-theft case according to the present invention
in an operating use position thereof;
- Figure 5b is a sectional view of the anti-theft case in the operating position of
Figure 5a;
- Figure 6a is a perspective view of the anti-theft case according to the present invention
in another operating use position thereof;
- Figure 6b is a sectional view of the anti-theft case in the operating position of
Figure FIG. 6a; and
- Figures 7 to 9 show perspective views of the anti-theft case according to the present
invention in a succession of other operating use positions.
[0011] With reference to the Figures, a preferred embodiment of the improved anti-theft
case of the present invention is shown and described. It will be immediately obvious
that numerous variations and modifications (for example related to shape, sizes, arrangements
and parts with equivalent functionality) could be made to what is described, without
departing from the scope of the invention as appears from the enclosed claims.
[0012] With reference to the Figures, the case 1 according to the present invention is composed
of at least one door 3 adapted to be opened, hingedly connected, for example by interposing
at least one hinge-type kinematism 5 mentioned below, to at least one edge of a box
7, inside such door 3 adapted to be opened means being arranged for opening/closing
9 such box 7 with respect to such door 3, and extraction-preventing means 11 adapted
to lock or unlock the opening of such case 1. Advantageously, the box 7 is equipped
with at least one extreme edge 13 adapted to be completely contained inside a corresponding
slit 15 arranged along such door 3 when the case 1 is at least in its closed position.
Obviously, it is possible to provide that all extreme perimeter edges 13 of the box
7 are contained inside the slit 15 having, consequently, suitable shape and sizes
and being arranged, for example, in a suitably perimeter position around the door
3 in a continuous way.
[0013] In order to make it more difficult to mechanically tamper with the case 1 according
to the present invention, for example by inserting the bit of a screw-driver or another
suitable tool inside the slit 15 in order to forcedly separate the box 7 of the door
3, the extreme edge 13 can be equipped with at least one rib 14 adapted to abut onto
the door 3 and, consequently, externally cover the slit 15.
[0014] Moreover, such extreme edge 13 is equipped with abutment means 17 cooperating with
the means for opening/closing 9 in the modes that will be described below in more
detail.
[0015] Obviously, the box 7 can be made of any transparent material that allows viewing
from outside the item placed inside the case 1 according to the present invention
and having adequate resistance features, such as for example polycarbonate.
[0016] Similarly, though in the Figures, merely as an example, a case 1 has been shown comprising
a box 7 shaped as a recatangular parallelepiped and a respective door 3 having, consequently,
a substantially square-shaped plan to allow coupling with the box 7 and housing the
related extreme edge 13 inside the slit 15, such elements 3, 7 can have any other
shape, without thereby departing from the scope of the present invention: in fact,
it is easy to imagine, without obviously being exhaustive, a box 7 having a cylindrical,
conical or semispherical shape, with circular or ellyptical base and related door
3 and slit 15 consequently circular or ellyptical in their plan, as well as any box
7 with polyhedrical shape with its respective door 3 and slit 15 of an adequate shape.
[0017] It is wholly clear that the door 3 can operate both as cover, and as side wall, and
as base, as shown as an example in the Figures, of the case 1 according to the present
invention. In this latter case, the door 3 then also operates as abutment and bearing
surface of the item placed inside the case 1 itself.
[0018] The door 3 adapted to be opened is composed of at least one plate 19, along whose
perimeter the slit 15 is arranged, and the means for opening/closing 9 comprise at
least one opening/closing plate 21 sliding inside such plate 19 and cooperating with
the abutment means 17 arranged along the extreme edges 13 of the box 7 and with at
least one control push-button 22 going out of the door 3 through a related opening
24 of the plate 19. The plate 19 can further be equipped with at least one covering
panel 20 suitable to insulate the sliding opening/closing plate 21 and avoid interferences
with the contents of the box 7. The sliding opening/closing plate 21 can then advantageously
slide between a first position in which opening of the case 1 is allowed, and a second
closing and locking position of the case 1 itself. Moreover, in parallel with its
own sliding direction, between the sliding opening/closing plate 21 and the plate
19, elastic means are interposed, preferably composed of at least one helical spring
27.
[0019] In a first preferred embodiment of the case 1 according to the present invention,
like the one shown for example in figure 1 , the sliding opening/closing plate 21
is laterally equipped with at least one closing tooth 23 cooperating with a respective
abutment means 17 of the extreme edge 13 of the box 7, such abutment means 17 comprising
at least one "T"-shaped groove composed of an open portion 25a and a closed portion
25b orthogonal to such open portion 25a and forming an insertion undercut for the
respective closing tooth 23. Preferably, each one of two opposite sides of such sliding
opening/closing plate 21 is equipped with two such closing teeth 23 corresponding
to respective grooves 25a, 25b arranged on two opposite extreme edges 13 of the box
7.
[0020] In the first position of the sliding opening/closing plate 21, spontaneously kept
by the action of the elastic means, and in particular by the thrust exerted by the
helical springs 27, the control push-button 22 is projecting from the plate 19 and
each one of the closing teeth 23 is in a position corresponding to the open portion
25a of a respective "T"-shaped groove. Once having closed the box 7 on the door 3,
the extreme edge 13 completely enters inside the slit 15 and each closing tooth 23
penetrates inside the "T"-shaped groove through the respective open portion 25a till
it reaches the related closed portion 25b. By pressing the control push-button 22,
the sliding opening/closing plate 21 is taken to slide inside the plate 19, compressing
the elastic means, and in particular the helical springs 27, and taking each closing
tooth 23 to slide inside the respective closed portion 25b of the "T"-shaped groove,
reaching the insertion undercut and consequently preventing the panel 3 from opening:
at the end of sliding, the sliding opening/closing plate 21 reaches the second closing
and locking position, and such position is kept by the extraction-preventing means
11 in the modes that will be described below in more detail.
[0021] In the example of the case 1 which is not according to the present invention, like
the one for example shown in Figures 3 and 4, the sliding opening/closing plate 21
cooperates with the abutment means 17 by interposing at least one side closing plate
29 sliding inside the plate 19 along a direction that is substantially orthogonal
to the sliding direction of the sliding opening/closing plate 21. Preferably, each
one of two opposite sides of such sliding opening/closing plate 21 cooperates with
a respective side closing plate 29, each one of such side closing plates 29 being
equipped with at least one closing tooth 31 cooperating with a respective abutment
means 17 of the extreme edge 13 of the box 7, such abutment means 17 comprising at
least one groove 33 corresponding, as shape and sizes, with such closing tooth 31
to allow this latter one to be inserted inside the groove 33 itself. Preferably, each
one of such side closing plates 29 is equipped with three of such closing teeth 31
corresponding to respective grooves 33 arranged on two opposite extreme edges 13 of
the box 7.
[0022] Moreover, each one of such side closing plates 29 is equipped with at least one,
suitably slanted guiding slit 35, inside which at least one guiding projection 37
is slidingly inserted, integral with the sliding opening/closing plate 21: the cam
effect obtained between the guiding slit 35 and the respective guiding projection
37 sliding inside thereby allows transforming the sliding direction of the sliding
opening/closing plate 21 into the sliding direction of the side closing plates 29,
such sliding direction of the side closing plates 29 being then substantially orthogonal
to the sliding direction of the sliding opening/closing plate 21. In the first position
of the sliding opening/closing plate 21, spontaneously kept by the action of the elastic
means, and in particular by the thrust exerted by the helical springs 27, the control
push-button 22 is projecting from the plate 19 and each one of the side closing plates
29 is in a retracted position in which the closing teeth 33 do not interfere with
the extreme edge 13. Once having closed the box 7 onto the door 3, the extreme edge
13 completely enters inside the slit 15 and each closing tooth 31 finds itself next
to its respective groove 33.
[0023] By pressing the control push-button 22, the sliding opening/closing plate 21 is taken
to slide inside the plate 19 compressing the elastic means, and in particular the
helical springs 27, taking each side closing plate 29 to slide, through an interaction
between guiding slits 35 and related guiding projections 37, towards outside along
an orthogonal direction, inserting each closing tooth 31 inside the respective and
corresponding groove 33 and consequently preventing the panel 3 from opening: at the
end of sliding, the sliding opening/closing plate 21 reaches the second closing and
locking position and such position is kept by the extraction-preventing means 11 in
the modes that will be described below in more detail.
[0024] In the preferred embodiment of the case 1 according to the present invention as shown
as an example in Figures 1, 5b and 6b, in order to guarantee the locking and unlocking
of the case 1 itself, the extraction-preventing means 11 comprise at least one pin
39 made of ferromagnetic material, that is slidingly housed inside a slanted seat
40 arranged next to a corner 42 of the plate 19 of the door 3, such pin 39 being equipped
with an end adapted to engage a respective locking seat 41 of the sliding opening/closing
plate 21 when this latter one is in the second closing and locking position. The pin
39 is always stressed towards the locking seat 41 by at least one spring 43. Therefore,
once the sliding opening/closing plate 21 reaches the second closing and locking position
in the above-described modes, the pin 39, under the thrusting action of the spring
43, penetrates inside the locking seat 41, preventing any other movement of the plate
21, and in particular any other sliding towards the first position.
[0025] Obviously, the extraction-preventing means 11 can be made according to any other
known mode suitable for this purpose, without departing from the scope of the present
invention. It is also clear that the extraction-preventing means 11, instead of having
a magnetic operation, could have a mechanical or electric/electronic operation, associated
with a suitable detaching device without departing from the scope of the present invention.
[0026] Moreover, the case 1 according to the present invention can be equipped with a known
alarm detecting system, for example made as at least one adhesive label with detection
as radiofrequency (RF), electromagnetic (EM) or acoustic-magnetic (AM) type or their
combinations. Moreover, the case 1 can be equipped with at least one electronic card
equipped with sound alarm, possibly cooperating with the current detecting system.
And furthermore, the above stated alarm detecting system is preferably inserted into
the door 3 and is closed by the plate 19.
[0027] In the preferred embodiment of the case 1 according to the present invention as shwon
as an example in figure 1, the hinge-type kinematism 5 can comprise at least one pair
of brackets 47 integral with the door 3, and in particular the covering panel 20,
each one of such brackets 47 being equipped with a respective rotation pin 49 engaging
a respective rotation seat (not shown) arranged in a suitable position on the box
7.
[0028] Alternatively, as shown on the example in Figures 3 and 4, the hinge-type kinematism
5 is of the oscillating type and can comprise at least one pair of brackets 51 integral
with the door 3, each one of such brackets 51 being equipped with a respective rotation
pin 53 engaging a respective rotation slot 55 arranged in a suitable position on the
box 7: in such a way, the door 3 is equipped with an oscillating movement composed
both of a rotation movement and of a translation movement with respect to the box
7.
[0029] Moreover, it can be noted how, in both above-described cases, advantageously also
the hinge-type kinematism 5 is wholly inserted inside the slit 15 of the door 3 when
the case 1 according to the present invention is in its closed position.
[0030] Instead, with reference to Figures 5a to 9, it is possible to note some example unlocking
and opening steps of the case 1 according to the present invention.
[0031] In order then to unlock the sliding of the plate 21 locked by the extraction-preventing
means 11, it is necessary to operate on such extraction-preventing means 11 by using
a detaching device, for example of the magnetic and/or mechanical type, of a type
substantially known in the art. For example, as shown in Figures 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b,
if the extraction-preventing means 11 are of the type shown in Figures 1 and 3, it
is enough to subject the pin 39 to a magnetic attraction force M along the extraction
direction E through the action of a magnet 57, that is placed in operating contact
with the corner 42 of the door 3 equipped with the slanted seat 40 (Figures 5a and
5b) and that exerts the necessary attraction force to attract such pin 39 against
the action of the spring 43 and to extract it from the locking seat 41 of the sliding
opening/closing plate 21 (Figure 6b).
[0032] Once having disengaged the pin 39 from the locking seat 41, the elastic means, and
in particular the thrusting action of the helical springs 27, take the sliding opening/closing
plate 21 to slide S (Figure 6b) taking it back to its first position: the means for
opening/closing 9 then disengage the abutment means 17, taking back, for example,
the closing teeth 23 next to the respective open portion 25a of the "T"-shaped groove
or extracting the closing teeth 31 of the side closing plates 29 from the corrispondenti
grooves 33, and the control push-button 22 goes out P from the door 3 (Figure 6a).
[0033] Therefore, it is now possible to open the case 1 according to the present invention
by extracting (Figure 7) the extreme edges 13 from the slit 15 of the door 3 (for
example through a translation movement T of the hinge-type kinematism 5 according
to the preferred embodiment of Figures 3 and 4, described above) and rotating R (Figures
8 and 9) the door 3 with respect to the box 7.
