Abstract
Systems () and methods () for operating a Security Tag ('ST'). The methods involve rotating a Rotational Clip ('RC') of ST () towards a Housing Base (“HB”) of ST until RC () contacts a latch () disposed within HB (), where an article resides between a first pad () fixedly coupled to RC and a second pad () movably coupled to HB. An angled surface () of RC slides against an angled surface () of the latch so as to cause compression of a cap spring () and a latch spring (). The cap spring is disposed in HB such that a center axis () thereof is perpendicular to a center axis () of the latch spring. When the latch becomes aligned with an aperture () formed in the rotational clip, the latch travels into the aperture as result from a pushing force applied thereto by the latch spring.
