Abstract
An electronic security clip device to protect merchandise, for use with an electronic security system activated by an alarm signal. The device includes a switch for controlling the alarm signal and a cable for transmitting the alarm signal from the switch to the electronic security system. A pair of pivotally mounted jaws are biased in a closed position, having confronting faces disposed in a common plane when in a closed position so that the switch is in operable relationship with the jaws upon the placement of merchandise between the jaws. Removal of the merchandise causes the switch to generate the alarm signal, thereby activating the electronic security system. A locking device is provided on the jaws that is selectively movable between a first condition preventing relative movement of the jaws with respect to one another and a second condition permitting the relative movement.
