Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security element for electronic article security, consisting of a lower and an upper conductor track with each at least one winding, the two conductor tracks being wound in opposite directions are, where they overlap in at least one overlap area and where a dielectric layer in the overlap area between the two Conductor tracks is provided.
  • a corresponding securing element is, for example, from DE 197 08 180 A1 became known.
  • Such fuse elements are called resonant circuits or referred to as resonance frequency fuse elements, the resonance frequency by the capacitance C, the inductance L and the Resistance R of the resonant circuit is determined.
  • Resonance frequency fuse elements are in the form of labels or tags in prevention and Theft detection used in department stores and warehouses and delight popularity due to the high detection rate.
  • the article security itself can be briefly described as follows:
  • the Resonance frequency security elements are in the surveillance zone of the area to be secured - usually this is the input and Exit area of the department store or warehouse - through a magnetic Alternating field for sending a characteristic detection signal excited. Once the surveillance system registers this detection signal, an alarm is triggered.
  • the resonance frequency securing elements are configured to be deactivated. Deactivation takes place as soon as the secured Goods have been properly purchased by a customer. Has proven itself here the method of supplying a correspondingly high energy pulse a short circuit between the two layers of conductor tracks through the to generate dielectric layer, which leads to destruction of the characteristic resonance properties of the resonant circuit.
  • a deactivatable securing element and a corresponding manufacturing process are already known from EP 0 665 705 A2.
  • Each of the Layers of conductor tracks in the known solution consist of a large number of Coils.
  • the two layers of conductor tracks are connected by a dielectric, very thin resin layer bonded together.
  • the resin layer has over the total area of the layers has a substantially constant thickness.
  • the securing element is also deactivated here by the feed a sufficiently high energy pulse.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a securing element, at which the risk of reactivation after deactivation is reduced or completely eliminated.
  • the task becomes with regard to the securing element according to the invention solved in that the dielectric layer in a critical area in which the upper or lower conductor track is a boundary edge of the lower or the upper conductor track overlaps, at least the same or a greater thickness than in the rest of the overlap area.
  • the dielectric layer around a dielectric adhesive layer.
  • ⁇ critical area areas in which a boundary edge of a conductor track is crossed by the other conductor track are particularly susceptible to reactivation if the previous deactivation occurred in these areas. Such areas can not be avoided by the way with two conductor tracks that are wound in opposite directions. It has been found that the securing element is particularly resistant to reactivation if the sum of the lengths of the boundary edges in the critical area or in the critical areas or in the strip-shaped area is minimal.
  • a dielectric Foil material in addition to the dielectric layer a dielectric Foil material, a dielectric lacquer layer or an additional dielectric Adhesive layer is provided.
  • a dielectric Foil material in addition to the dielectric layer a dielectric lacquer layer or an additional dielectric Adhesive layer is provided.
  • the larger one Thickness in the critical area or in the critical areas thereby achieved will that the two traces in these areas with a lower Contact pressure can be applied during the lamination process.
  • the Security element provides an advantageous embodiment of the Security element according to the invention that these areas in essentially along a straight line in a substantially strip-shaped Area are arranged.
  • This strip-shaped area has a width of a few millimeters and preferably extends over the entire length of the Fuse element. It is of course advantageous if the width of the Foil material (preferably PET is used) or the dielectric Lacquer or the additional dielectric adhesive layer on the width of the strip-shaped area is matched.
  • the two conductor tracks are in an overlapping securing element End area electrically connected.
  • the electrical connection can done in different ways. Alternative options are in DE 197 08 180.
  • the preferred process for contacting the two Conductor tracks in connection with the present invention is that Punch through the securing element in the area of the conductor tracks in which the electrical connection is desired.
  • a particularly favorable manufacturing process for the inventive Fuse elements has the following procedural steps: On the lower one Conductor track, a dielectric adhesive layer is applied; the critical area or the critical areas with a dielectric Foil material, a dielectric lacquer layer or an additional dielectric adhesive layer coated; then the top trace connected to the lower trace in the desired position.
  • a dielectric adhesive layer is applied on the lower one Conductor track; the critical area or the critical areas with a dielectric Foil material, a dielectric lacquer layer or an additional dielectric adhesive layer coated; then the top trace connected to the lower trace in the desired position.
  • the lower and upper traces in the critical Area or in the critical areas with a reduced contact pressure be laminated together. Laminating the two conductor tracks together reduced contact pressure can of course also in combination with the the additional arrangement of a dielectric layer in the critical Area or in the critical areas.
  • the upper and lower conductor tracks on one each Tape material arranged; on the strip material the conductor tracks are like this arranged that the critical areas are aligned in the machine direction are; the dielectric strip-shaped film material, the dielectric The lacquer layer or the additional dielectric adhesive layer is applied in strips the lower or the upper conductor tracks applied before these conductor tracks be laminated together.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the method for producing the invention Fuse elements provides that the dielectric lacquer layer on the sprayed or printed on the upper or lower conductor track. Act If it is a dielectric adhesive layer, this is preferred on the top or the lower conductor track is applied by extrusion.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of the lower conductor track 2
  • FIG. 2 shows one Top view of the upper conductor track 3.
  • the conductor tracks are Security element 1 punched out of an aluminum foil.
  • the Manufacturing method for manufacturing the securing element according to the invention 1 is relatively inexpensive because the two conductor tracks 2, 3 are relatively wide and essentially have only one turn. Because of the dimensioning the securing element according to the invention is also characterized by a high stability.
  • the two conductor tracks 2, 3 are wound in opposite directions. A consequence of this Design inevitably consists in that boundary edges 5 of the lower Track 2 are crossed by the upper track 3.
  • the one shown in Fig. 3 Securing element 1 has three critical areas 7, in which boundary edges 5 of the lower conductor track 2 are crossed by the upper conductor track 3.
  • the securing element shown in Fig. 3 is now designed so that it three critical areas 7 substantially along a straight line in one narrow limited strip-shaped area come to rest. In this strip-shaped Area becomes in addition to the already existing dielectric Layer that isolates the two conductor tracks 2, 3 from each other, an additional dielectric layer inserted. This layer is shown in the Case around a dielectric film material 4a, which is preferably made of PET is. However, dielectric lacquers 4b or can of course also be used dielectric adhesive 4c can be used.
