Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Sicherungselementen (1) für die elektronische Artikelsicherung, wobei die Sicherungselemente (1) aus zumindest zwei (2, 3) Lagen gefertigt sind, sowie ein nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren gefertigtes Sicherungselement (1).The invention relates to a method for producing securing elements (1) for electronic article surveillance, the securing elements (1) are made from at least two (2, 3) layers, and one according to the invention Processed securing element (1).

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von kostengünstigen und verläßlich arbeitenden Sicherungselementen (1) vorzuschlagen.The invention has for its object a method for producing inexpensive and reliable security elements (1) to propose.

Es wird das folgende erfindungsgemäße Verfahren vorgeschlagen: eine erste Lage (2) einer Zellulosemasse (6) wird im noch feuchten Zustand auf eine zweite Lage (3) einer Zellulosemasse (5) aufgebracht, wobei einer der beiden Lagen (2; 3) weichmagnetische Elemente (4) beigefügt werden, die im Abfragefeld eines Artikelsicherungssystems ein charakteristisches Signal aussenden; anschließend wird aus den beiden Lagen (2, 3) im getrockneten Zustand die gewünschte Form der Sicherungselemente (1) ausgestanzt oder ausgeschnitten.

Figure 00000001
The method according to the invention is proposed: a first layer (2) of a cellulose mass (6) is applied to a second layer (3) of a cellulose mass (5) while still moist, one of the two layers (2; 3) having soft magnetic elements (4) which send out a characteristic signal in the query field of an article surveillance system; the desired shape of the securing elements (1) is then punched out or cut out of the two layers (2, 3) in the dried state.
