And a clip 4 for attaching the notifying member 2 to the main body. Then, as shown in FIG.
And hold it with clip 4 so as to hold down.

In the notification member 2, as shown in FIG.
A buzzer comprising a piezoelectric buzzer 9 which receives electric power from the tuning circuit 13 to generate electric power, turns on a switching circuit 15, and receives an electric power from a small battery 10 in a power supply circuit 14 to generate an alarm sound when the switching circuit 15 is turned on. And a circuit 17.

The operating section 3 also serves as a detector provided in the notification member 2 (detects whether or not the notification member 2 has been removed from the commodity 12). That is, an operating portion 3 such as a push-on switch is provided on one main surface of the notification member 2, and a clip 4 for mounting the product 12 is provided so as to cover the operating portion 3. The clip 4 is designed so that one main surface of the bottom case 23 is used as a base of the clip 4 in order to reduce costs. When the product 12 is attached to the notification member 2 with the clip 4, the operating section 3 is turned on, but electricity does not flow to the buzzer circuit 17 in terms of a circuit.

When the product 12 is removed from the notification member 2, the operating section 3 is turned off, the switching circuit 15 is activated to turn on the power supply circuit 14, and the small battery 10 in the power supply supplies power to the buzzer circuit 17 to generate a piezoelectric signal. Activate the buzzer 9 and emit an alarm sound. That is, while the product 12 is sandwiched, the operating unit 3
Is pressed by the product 12 and the clip pressing portion 7 so that the push-on switch as the operating portion 3 is in the ON state, and the switching circuit 15 functions to turn off the power supply circuit 14 and does not emit an alarm sound. Have been.

A key hole 5 is provided on the side surface of the notification member 2. After a predetermined key is inserted into the key hole 5 and pulled out, the buzzer circuit 17 is turned off regardless of the operation of the switching circuit 15. ON-OFF switch 16
Is installed, and is configured not to emit an alarm sound in any case.

Therefore, the ON-OFF switch 16 is set to O
Only when N is set, the notification member 2 emits an alarm sound only when the switching circuit 15 detects the radio wave transmitted from the detection gate 18 and when the operation unit 3 is activated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the product 12 is sandwiched between the notification member 2 and the clip 4, that is, when the anti-theft buzzer tag 1 is attached to the product 12 and displayed at a store, the shoplifter can use the anti-theft buzzer tag 1. When the user operates the clip 4 of the product and tries to remove it from the product 12, the operating unit 3
At F, the switching circuit 15 operates to turn on the power supply circuit 14 to supply power to the buzzer circuit 17, and the notification member 2 emits an alarm sound. Therefore, the clerk can know that shoplifting has occurred.

If a shoplifter tries to remove a product with the anti-theft buzzer tag 1 attached thereto, a radio wave transmitted from the detection gate 18 is notified in the vicinity of the detection gate 18 installed at the entrance of the store. 2 senses,
The switching circuit 15 operates to turn on the power supply circuit 14 to supply power to the buzzer circuit 17, and an audible alarm is issued, so that the clerk can specify the shoplifter.

When a normal sales is established, a clerk inserts a predetermined key into the key hole 5 of the notification member 2 and pulls it out, so that an alarm sound is generated even if the anti-theft buzzer tag 1 is removed from the product 12. It does not emit.

In addition, since the clip system is used, if the product 12 is a boombox, it is easy to use as a gripping bar, if it is clothing, it is a cloth, if it is a telephone, it is a cord, and if it is shoes, it is easy to use as shown in FIG. The notification member 2 can be attached to the clip 4 with the clip 4.

Further, the structure of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As one example of the present invention, the kick spring 6 is used for the spring force of the clip portion. Various kinds of kick springs 6 are prepared, and by changing the kick springs 6, the anti-theft buzzer tag 1 with the optimum spring pressure is selected for the product 12, from a thin one like a scarf to a one with a certain thickness like a wallet. Can also be attached to products. When a push-on switch is used for the operating unit 3, the diaphragm (not shown) of the push-on switch is always recessed while the anti-theft buzzer tag 1 is attached to the product 12. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a relief portion 19 is provided in the clip 4 so that the diaphragm portion is in the original state when the anti-theft buzzer tag 1 is not used. The life of the ON switch is dramatically extended.

As shown in FIG. 5 (A), an angle of 10 to 15 ° is made in a direction away from one main surface of the notification member 2 with respect to the kick spring portion of the clip 4 and the pressing portion 7 of the clip 4 is made flat. In addition, since the pressing surface of the pressing portion 7 is also provided with a certain angle (5 to 10 degrees) so as to be inclined in a direction away from one main surface of the notification member 2, the product 12 is stably prevented from being stolen. Buzzer tag 1 can be attached.

As is apparent from the above, the anti-theft buzzer tag 1 according to the present embodiment is simple and easy for a store clerk to handle, and various types (string type, pin type, adhesive tape type, etc.) of the anti-theft buzzer tag are used. It is not necessary to arrange buzzer tags, and an excellent effect in terms of cost can be obtained.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the operating portion 3 is provided on the bottom surface of the notification member 2, and the clip 4 for attaching the notification member 2 to the product 12 is provided so as to cover the operating portion 3. Therefore, it can be operated easily and without various buzzer tags.

It is needless to say that the same effect can be obtained by using a leaf spring type clip 20 as shown in FIG. 6 instead of the kick spring type clip 4. In the case of the leaf spring type stopper clip 20, the tip of the push-on switch 21 is made spherical as shown in FIG.
