A security device may include a housing and a wireless signal generator. The housing may include an engagement assembly configured to be operably coupled to a curved surface of a product. The wireless signal generator may be disposed within the housing, and the wireless signal generator may be configured to output a wireless signal for detection by theft deterrence equipment. The engagement assembly may include a curved base and a plurality of flexible wings. The plurality of flexible wings may be configured to provide an adjustable coupling surface that flexes to conform to surfaces of products having different curvatures.

Adjustable curved surface security device

A security device includes a plunger switch with a plunger that moves to extend through an aperture in the housing and a removable protective backing coupled to an adhesive pad that initially maintains the plunger in the depressed position and the security device in an inventory state. In the inventory state, processing circuitry of the security device is configured to take no action in response to a deactivator sensor detecting a deactivator sign. The processing circuitry being configured to control operation of a sounder based on a current state of the processing circuitry and signaling from the plunger switch.

Security device with activation backing

A security device is provided that includes an electronic article surveillance tag that may be configured to resonate to provide a wireless response signal to a deactivator to trigger generation of a deactivation field. Further, the security device may include tamper detection circuitry which may include a tamper sensor configured to generate a tamper signal in response to detecting a tamper event, a deactivation sensor configured to generate a deactivation signal in response to detecting the deactivation field, and a sounder. In this regard, the tamper detection circuitry may be configured to deactivate the tamper detection circuitry in response to receiving the deactivation signal from the deactivation sensor such that receipt of the tamper signal after deactivation of the tamper detection circuitry does not trigger the sounder to emit the alarm.

Alarming product security device

A box edge security device, for a merchandise box having adjacent structural portions connected together along an edge, includes an edge cleat and a tag assembly. The edge cleat is adapted to be attached around an edge of a merchandise box, the merchandise box having a first structural portion and a second structural portion that are connected to one another along the edge, such that a first portion of the edge cleat is disposed against the first structural portion of the merchandise box and a second portion of the edge cleat is disposed against the second structural portion of the merchandise box. The tag assembly interlocks with the edge cleat and includes an electronics assembly, contained within a housing, that forms at least part of an alarm system. The electronics assembly may include an electronic article surveillance (EAS) tag.

Box edge security device

A convertible child safety seat may include a body configured to support an occupant, a base portion operably coupled to the body to support the body where the base portion is configured to be disposed on a vehicle seat base of a vehicle seat in either a forward facing configuration or a rearward facing configuration, and a multi-position anti-rebound bar. The anti-rebound bar may be operably coupled to the base portion or the body such that the anti-rebound bar is pivotable between at least a first position to provide a first function in the rearward facing configuration and a second position to provide a second function different than the first function in the forward facing configuration.

Multi-position anti-rebound bar

A security device is provided that includes a seal and a tag assembly. The seal may be configured to be attached to a merchandise box. The tag assembly may include housing and an electronics assembly disposed within the housing. The housing of the tag assembly may be configured to slide onto the seal via sliding engagement between the housing and the seal.

A box edge security device, for a merchandise box that includes having adjacent structural portions connected together along an edge, includes an edge seal and a tag assembly. The edge seal is adapted to be attached around an edge of a merchandise box, the merchandise box having a first structural portion and a second structural portion that are connected to one another along the edge, such that a first portion of the edge seal is disposed against the first structural portion of the merchandise box and a second portion of the edge seal is disposed against the second structural portion of the merchandise box. The tag assembly interlocks with the edge seal and includes an electronics assembly, contained within a housing, that forms at least part of an alarm system. The electronics assembly may include an electronic article surveillance (EAS) tag.

A security device includes: a housing having a plug receptacle; a spool rotatably coupled to the housing; a locking mechanism having a locked state and an unlocked state, the locked state preventing the spool from rotating in a first direction, and the unlocked state allowing rotation of the spool in the first direction and in a second direction; a plug having an inserted position and a removed position with respect to the plug receptacle, the inserted position maintaining the locking mechanism in the locked state, and the removed position allowing alteration of the locking mechanism from the locked state to the unlocked state; a cable coupled to the spool and to the plug; an alarm circuit which activates an alarm upon sensing discontinuity of the cable and/or the plug moving from the inserted position to the removed position, the alarm circuit coupled to and rotating with the spool.

Security device

A security device may include a spool, locking mechanism, button, plug, and latch. The spool is configured to either wind or unwind a cable for wrapping around an object. The locking mechanism is configured to partially lock the spool. The button may be used to move the locking mechanism between locked and unlocked positions. The button may be blocked by inserting a plug into a housing of the device such that the button cannot be activated to unlock the spool. The plug may be secured to the housing through the latch that prevents the unauthorized removal of the plug. For an enhanced locking feature, the latch and the plug may be configured to require at least two forces to move the latch and free the plug. The spool, locking mechanism, and button may be stacked along a common axis to provide a more compacted design.

Cable wrap security device

An anti-theft security device is particularly useful with bottles and is typically secured to a bottle neck. The device may carry an onboard alarm. The device typically includes a catch member which engages the bottle neck to secure the device to the bottle and a blocking structure to help block access to the catch member.

A security may include a base that defines an aperture or opening configured for receiving at least a portion of an object to be secured. The base may support a capture member that is configured to move between a capture position and a release position. The security device may further include a driving member that is configured to move between a first position and a second position and may engage the capture member. When the driving member is moved from the first position to the second position it may urge the capture member from the release position to the capture position. The capture member may be configured to secure the object within the aperture when the capture member is in the capture position. The security device may further comprise a locking member may be configured to releasably engage the driving member to prevent movement of the driving member from the second position to the first position.
