Abstract: An alarm tag having a housing, a shackle and an electronic circuit within the housing having a lock alarm, the shackle being lockable to the housing to provide a locked condition of the alarm tag. The lock alarm includes combination locking structure that enables the alarm tag to be unlocked without the use of a separate key or detachment device. The lock alarm is activated if the housing is broken or the shackle is cut when the alarm tag is in the locked condition. The alarm tag also cooperates with conventional EAS antennas having an EAS alarm. If the alarm tag comes within a predetermined distance of the EAS antenna, the EAS alarm is activated. The alarm tag can also be configured to activate the lock alarm also if the alarm tag comes within a predetermined distance of the EAS antenna.

Abstract: A security device for use with an item of merchandise may include a rigid housing adapted for insertion into a pocket of the item, an alarm disposed within the housing, and a sensor mounted to the housing. The sensor may be configured to indicate whether the security device is outside the pocket of the item, whereby an indication that the security device is outside the pocket of the item causes the alarm to generate a human-perceptible alert.
