  • Patent number: 10134248
    Abstract: In a securing device for attachment of an object which is to be secured, wherein the securing device has a housing with a base plate and a lid as well as means for generating an alarm when the securing device is removed from the object without authorization, wherein the securing device is attached to the object by a double-adhesive strip having a double-adhesive first section and a non-adhesive second section. The first section has an initial adhesiveness which is lost when the strip is stretched. The second section forms a grip for stretching the double-adhesive strip. The double-adhesive strip is attached on one side to the underside of the base plate so that it is covered by the base plate and on the other side to the object. The non-adhesive second section is placed between the base plate and the lid in its closed state such the grip is only accessible only in the open state of the housing.

  • Patent number: 9524626
    Abstract: A securing device for attachment of an object (2) which is to be secured. The securing device has a housing with a base plate and a lid as well as an apparatus for generating an alarm when the securing device is removed from the object without authorization. The securing device has an open and closed state. In the closed state the base plate and the lid can be locked to one another by a lock. The apparatus for generating an alarm comprises a mechanical sensor and/or an optical sensor In the closed state the mechanical sensor can detect contact with the object by the base plate and can react to a loss of contact with the object. In the closed state the optical sensor emits light through the base plate, and can sense reflections of this light from the object through the base plate and can react to changes in these reflections.

  • Patent number: 5209086
    Abstract: An anti-theft apparatus includes a bracket-shaped auxiliary member which is displaceably guided longitudinally along a narrow side of a casing and has ends which are bent inwardly in order to clamp a box-like article. When the bracket is in its slid out position relative to the casing, its outer end can be bent in an elastic manner to enable removal or insertion of the article, and the inner end of the bracket has a locking lug which also projects inwardly to snap into a locking slot at the narrow side of the casing opposite of the slide-in opening when the bracket is completely inserted into the casing. The locking lug can be released out of this position only by use of a special tool.
