Abstract

A merchandise security kit includes a tag body (13), a first tack (15-1) adapted to be removably attached to the tag body (13) to form a first reusable hard tag that is limited to electronic article surveillance (EAS) capabilities, and a second tack (15-2) adapted to be removably attached to the tag body (13) to form a second reusable hard tag that is provided with both EAS and radio frequency identification (RFID) capabilities. The tag body (13) comprises a security inlay that is disposed within a protective casing, the security inlay including an antenna and an EAS marker. The second tack comprises an enlarged head, a sharpened pin connected to the head and an integrated circuit (IC) chip embedded within the head. With the second tack attached to the tag body, the IC chip either conductively or reactively couples to the antenna in the tag body to provide the second hard tag with its RFID capabilities.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 03 December 2010 (03.12.2010)
1. A security hard tag (17) adapted for removable attachment to an article of merchandise, the security hard tag (17) comprising:
(a) a tag body (13), the tag body (13) comprising a security inlay (23) that includes an antenna (39); and
(b) a tack (15-2) adapted to be removably attached to the tag body (13) to form a reusable hard tag (17), the tack comprising an integrated circuit (IC) chip and a near field loop antenna (173) coupled to the chip;
(c) wherein, with the tack attached to the tag body, the IC chip in the tack (15-2) is coupled to the antenna in the tag body (13) to provide the hard tag (17) with radio frequency identification (RFID) capabilities.
2. The security hard tag (17) of claim 1 wherein, with the tack (15-2) attached to the tag body (17), the IC chip in the tack is reactively coupled to the antenna (39) in the tag body (13).
3. The security hard tag (17) of claim 1 wherein, with the tack (15-2) attached to the tag body (13), the IC chip in the tack is conductively coupled to the antenna (39) in the tag body (13).
4. The security hard tag (17) of claim 1 wherein the security inlay (23) additionally comprises an electronic article surveillance (EAS) marker (137) that is designed to provide the hard tag (17) with electronic article surveillance capabilities.
5. The security hard tag (17) of claim 4 wherein the security inlay (23) additionally comprises a thin, dielectric substrate on which the antenna (39) and the EAS marker (137) are disposed in a spaced apart relationship.
26
6. The security hard tag (17) of claim 4 wherein the tag body (13) additionally comprises a casing (21) shaped to define an interior cavity (29), the security inlay (23) being disposed within the interior cavity (29) of the casing (21).
7. The security hard tag (17) of claim 6 wherein the tag body (13) additionally comprises a mechanism disposed in the casing (21) that is adapted to receive and releasably engage a portion of the tack to retain the tack (15-2) attached to the tag body (13).
8. The security hard tag (17) of claim 7 wherein the mechanism in the tag body (13) for receiving and releasably engaging a portion of the tack (15-2) is in the form of a metallic spring clamp.
9. The security hard tag (17) of claim 2 wherein the tack (15-2) comprises:
(a) an enlarged head (61); and
(b) a sharpened pin coupled, at one end, to the enlarged head (61).
10. The security hard tag (17) of claim 9 wherein the IC chip and the near field loop antenna (173) are both embedded within the enlarged head (61) in the tack.
11. The security hard tag (17) of claim 10 wherein each of the antenna (39) in the tack (15-2) and the tag body (13) operate within the ultra high frequency (UHF) range.
12. The security hard tag ( 17) of claim 10 wherein each of the antenna (39) in the tack (15-2) and the tag body (13) operate within the High Frequency RFID band (13.56MHz).
13. The security hard tag (17) of claim 10, wherein the antenna (39) operate in the tag body (13) within the Low Frequency RFID band (8.2 MHz).
14. The security hard tag (17) of claim 1 wherein the tack (15-2) is provided with a visual indicator.
15. (Withdrawn) A security kit for an article of merchandise, the security kit comprising:
(a) a tag body;
(b) a first tack adapted to be removably attached to the tag body to form a first reusable tag that is limited to electronic article surveillance (EAS) capabilities; and
(c) a second tack adapted to be removably attached to the tag body to form a second reusable tag that is provided with both electronic article surveillance (EAS) and radio frequency identification (RFID) capabilities.
16. (Withdrawn) The security kit of claim 16 wherein the tag body comprises:
(a) a RFID antenna; and
(b) an EAS marker.
17. (Withdrawn) The security kit of claim 17 wherein the second tack comprises an IC chip that, with the second tack attached to the tag body, couples to the antenna in the tag body to provide the second reusable hard tag with its RFID capabilities.
18. (Withdrawn) The security kit of claim 18 wherein the second tack additionally comprises a resonant near field antenna to which the IC chip is conductively coupled, the resonant near field antenna magnetically coupling the IC chip to the antenna in the tag body.
19. (Withdrawn) The security kit of claim 19 wherein the second tack comprises:
(a) an enlarged head; and
(b) a sharpened pin coupled, at one end, to the enlarged head.
20. (Withdrawn) The security kit of claim 20 wherein the IC chip and the resonant near field antenna are both embedded within the enlarged head in the tack.
21. (Withdrawn) The security kit of claim 19 wherein each of the antennae in the tack and the tag body operates within the ultra high frequency (UHF) range.
28
22. (Withdrawn) The security kit of claim 18 wherein the second tack additionally comprises an indicator connected to the IC chip.
23. (Withdrawn) The security kit of claim 23, wherein the indicator is a visual indicator.
24. (Withdrawn) A security kit for merchandising, comprising;
a first group, of reusable tag bodies having electronic article surveillance functionality; a second group of reusable tag bodies having both electronic article surveillance functionality and RFID functionality; and
a plurality of pins for insertion, into the first and second group of reusable tag bodies to form a first group of reusable tags with only electronic article surveillance functionality and a second group of reusable tags having both electronic article surveillance functionality and RFID functionality.
