ABSTRACT:
A reusable, pneumatically releasable security tag for monitoring merchandise such as a garment, is disclosed. Encapsulated within the tag is a transponder element which reradiates a radio frequency signal to trigger an alarm when a tagged article is carried through a surveillance zone. The tag includes a housing concealing a one-way latch spring fastener for receiving and gripping the shank of a tack inserted through the garment and into the housing. The housing defines a chamber sealed by a generally horizontally oriented diaphragm adapted to be deflected by pressurized air admitted into the chamber through a small inlet. An actuator interposed between the diaphragm and the latch spring fastener is adapted to engage and deflect the fastener to a tack-releasing configuration upon the admission of pressurized air into the chamber.
A resilient pad may be inserted under the head of the tack. The pad is compressed upon insertion of the tack and protects the portion of the garment around the tack shank from tearing and assists the separation of the tack from the tag when the tack is released.
