Patent number: 11670148Abstract: A theft-proof packaging system includes a product package including a compartment configured to encapsulate a product. The compartment is in a non-surrounding environmental state, the non-surrounding environmental state being either pneumatically pressurized above a surrounding environment or pneumatically vacuumized below the surrounding environment. A pressure sensor inside the compartment includes a switch, the switch configured to disconnect and connect a power source to a transmitter, wherein the switch is configured to disconnect the power source from the transmitter in the presence of the non-surrounding environmental state inside the compartment and the switch is configured to connect the power source to the transmitter when the compartment equalizes to the surrounding environment. A receiving unit is disposed remote from the product package and receives the signal from the transmitter and sounds an alarm.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Inventor: Marc G. Martino

Patent number: 10902709Abstract: A theft-proof packaging system includes a product package having a clear compartment configured to encapsulate a product that is pneumatically vacuumized below a surrounding environment. A pressure sensor assembly is located within the compartment, the pressure sensor assembly including a pressure sensor, a power source electrically connected to the pressure sensor, and a transmitter electrically connected to the power source. The transmitter is configured to send a signal and a receiving unit located outside the compartment of the product package and disposed remote from the product package receives said signal and sounds an alarm. The pressure sensor assembly is configured to detect a change in pressure inside the compartment and then send the signal to the receiving unit activating the alarm. A passive RFID tag is located within the compartment and configured to be detected when it passes through a walk-through scanner activating a second alarm.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Inventor: Marc G. Martino

Patent number: 10542829Abstract: A jewelry display includes a ferromagnetic planar substrate having a front surface opposite a back surface. A bracket is configured to be attached to a wall, the bracket comprising at least one bracket magnet which is a permanent magnet. The back surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate is configured to removably attach to the bracket due to the magnetic force of the at least one bracket magnet. A plurality of jewelry fixtures are configured to be removably attached to the front surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate. Each jewelry fixture includes at least one permanent fixture magnet and a jewelry holding structure. The at least one permanent fixture magnet of each jewelry fixture is magnetically attracted to the ferromagnetic planar substrate. The at least one bracket magnet may be at least 2, 5, 10 times or more as powerful as the at least one permanent fixture magnet.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Inventor: Marc G. Martino

Patent number: 9814328Abstract: A jewelry display has a ferromagnetic planar substrate having a front surface opposite a back surface. A wall attachment mechanism is attached to the back surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate. The wall attachment mechanism is configured to attach the ferromagnetic planar substrate to a substantially vertical surface, such a wall. A plurality of jewelry fixtures are configured to be removably attached to the front surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate. Each jewelry fixture has at least one permanent magnet and a jewelry holding structure. The at least one permanent magnet of each jewelry fixture is magnetically attracted to the ferromagnetic planar substrate. At least one of the plurality of jewelry fixtures is a ring holding structure, a bracelet holding structure, an earring holding structure, a necklace holding structure, a watch holding structure, a bowl structure or a shelf structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2014Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Inventors: Marc G.
