Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disc on which music and images of a CD cassette are recorded, a video tape,
The present invention relates to a case that prevents theft of game software and other products (the products are stored in a case).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, a rental system for rental products (for example, products such as discs and video tapes, which are stored in a case) displays a rental product name on an empty case such as a shelf. Display the empty case (the bag may be used) of the desired rental product displayed by the customer and bring it to the counter, and the clerk in the counter will display the empty case. Take out from storage and rent.

When such a rental system is adopted, the customer does not touch the rental product directly, so that the rental product can be prevented from being stolen.

However, there is a problem in that it is difficult to smoothly lend out because a clerk selects a rental product from a storage location or arranges it in an aligned manner, and a wide storage location is required.

On the other hand, a storage case for rental goods (such as a bag made of a transparent synthetic resin sheet or a transparent synthetic resin)
The above-mentioned problem can be solved by displaying the items on a shelf or the like, taking out the storage case of the desired rental product displayed by the customer, bringing it to the counter, and performing the rental procedure.

[0006] However, since the customer can directly pick up the rental product, he or she may take it out without permission, so that the theft occurs.

Therefore, in order to prevent theft, an antitheft tag having a unique ID code (without a power source) is attached at an arbitrary position of the rental product, and a predetermined high frequency electromagnetic field is generated at the entrance / exit. When the rental product passes through the entrance / exit, the resonance circuit of the ID code resonates to emit a unique ID code, and the high frequency electromagnetic field modulates the detection to detect the passage of the product. The clerk monitors whether it is lent out or taken out without permission.

However, if the above-mentioned ID code is not shielded by some method during the rental procedure at the counter, even if the rental product is rented out according to a predetermined procedure, it is the same as that without permission. There is an inconvenience to be detected.

[0009] Therefore, the cumbersome work is required for the shield procedure, and the cost increases due to the equipment.

Further, in the case of products such as discs, since the packaging bag of the disc case can be easily opened, only the disc is taken out and theft frequently occurs.

This factor is because the disc is small and can be easily put in a pocket of clothes or the like.

[0012] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to prevent the theft of goods without fail and to eliminate the need for a troublesome shield after the rental procedure.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, A is a case having an opening 1 for taking in and out of a product a on one surface, and B is a part of the case A which is detachably attached to the outside. It is a fitting body that is freely fitted and partially blocks the opening 1 to prevent the product a stored in the case A from being taken out.

In the case A, in the illustrated case, the left and right side walls 3 and 3 facing each other via the front wall 2 and the top wall 4 and the bottom wall 5 connected from the upper and lower edges of the side walls 3 and 3 and the front wall 2 are shown. And a product a (the product is not limited to a video tape in the case shown, but may be another disk stored in a special case, for example) from the opening 1 on the rear surface. However, cases of other configurations may be used.

In short, it is sufficient that the product can be taken in and out through the opening provided on the entire surface.

Of course, a lid for opening and closing the opening may be provided.

In the illustrated case, the fitting B is a top plate 6 overlapping the top wall 4 and side plates 7 and 7 projecting downward from both side edges of the top plate 6 and overlapping or facing the outside of the side walls 3 and 3.
And a rear plate 8 which is continuous from the rear edges of both side plates 7 and the top plate 6 and closes the upper end to the middle of the opening 1, but is in the form of a box with an open lower surface fitted to the entire upper part of the case A. May be.

In short, it suffices if the fitting B is used to close the opening 1 to prevent the stored product a from being taken out from the case A.

A tubular body 11 is projected on the surface of the required wall of the fitting body B.

In the illustrated case, the cylindrical body 11 is case A.
Top plate 6 due to the side-by-side display on the rental shop shelves
However, it may be provided on a plate other than the top plate 6.

Further, inside the tubular body 11, there is incorporated an advancing / retreating member 13 which can move back and forth (elevation in the case shown) and which does not come out of the tubular body 11 by the stopper means 12.

In the stopper means 12, the projection 15 projecting inward from the open edge of the tubular body 11 in the illustrated case abuts the projection 15 projecting from the lower edge of the advancing / retreating member 13. .

Further, the advancing / retreating member 13 includes a guide device 16
A slider 17 (the number of which may be determined as appropriate) is provided so as to be guided in a direction intersecting at right angles with the advancing / retreating direction of the advancing / retreating member 13.

The guide device 16 is provided with a groove in the illustrated case, and the slider 17 is fitted into the groove.

Further, the slider 17 is provided with a hooking claw 19 which penetrates into a through hole 18 formed in the wall of the case A (top wall 4 in the figure) and engages with the edge of the through hole 18. .

The engaging claw 19 comes into contact with the edge of the through hole 18 as the advancing / retreating member 13 advances (downward in FIG. 3), and resists the push-back force applied to the slider 17 against the slider 17.
When the tip of the engaging claw 19 has finished passing through the through hole 18, the slider 17 is pushed back by the applied pushing back force, and the slider 17 is engaged with the edge of the through hole 18 to keep the advancing / retreating member 13 in the forward stop state due to the engagement relationship. Since it measures, detachment of the fitting body B from the case A is prevented.

Then, the removal of the product a from the case A is prevented (theft is prevented).

In the illustrated case, the applied pushing-back force is made by using a coil spring or the like, although the free end of the projecting piece 21 protruding from the engaging claw 19 is brought into contact with the projecting piece 22 of the advancing / retreating member 13. .

In the portion of the top plate 6 that coincides with the through hole 18, the projecting piece 22, the projecting piece 21, and the elongated hole 2 for penetrating the engaging claw 19 are provided.
3 is provided.

On the surface of the advancing / retreating member 13, the slider 17 is attached.
A through hole 24 is provided in the portion corresponding to.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the key 26 on the seat plate 25 is inserted into the through hole 24, the tip (upper end) of the key 26 hits the taper surface portion 27 of the taper surface portion of the lower surface end of the slider 17. , The key 26 continues to insert the bullet 21
The slider 17 is pushed out against the push-back force of (1) and the hook 19 is disengaged from the edge of the through hole 18 (shown in FIG. 6).

As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the fitting body B can be removed from the case A, and the product a stored in the case A can be taken out.

The above operation (removal of the fitting body B) is performed by a clerk at the counter of the rental shop, and the removed fitting body B is left on the shop side for reuse.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, an antitheft tag C is provided in the fitting body B similar to that of the first embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the anti-theft tag C is attached to the inner surface of the side plate 7 with an adhesive or the like, and the tag C has, for example, a unique ID code (no power source). There is.

As described above, by attaching the tag C to the fitting body B and attempting to bring out the product a together with the case A, a predetermined high frequency electromagnetic field is generated at the entrance / exit of the rental shop. When passing through the tag C, the resonance circuit of the ID code of the tag C resonates to emit a unique ID code, and the high-frequency electromagnetic field is modulated to detect it to detect the passage of the product and prevent theft.

[0040]

Since the anti-theft case of the present invention is constructed as described above, the removal of the product from the case is prevented unless the fitting body is removed by the key on the rental shop side.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the goods from being stolen in the shop.

Since the tag is provided in the fitting body,
Along with the case, the product is prevented from being taken out, and the fitting body remains on the shop side even if the case and the product are rented, so that the fitting body can be reused on the shop side.
