Abstract
A first portion of a security device, the first portion configured to have a separate state with respect to a second portion and a combined state with respect to the second portion, such that when in the combined state, the first portion is mated, interlocked, and/or locked with the second portion to collectively form the security device.
Claims27
An anti-theft apparatus comprising:
- a first portion of an anti-theft security device, a second portion of the anti-theft security device, or a combination including the first portion and the second portion,
- the first portion configured to have a separate state with respect to a second portion and a combined state with respect to the second portion,
- the second portion configured to have the separate state with respect to the first portion and the combined state with respect to the first portion,
- wherein
- the first portion and the second portion are each configured such that when in the combined state, the first portion and the second portion are joinable together to collectively form the anti-theft security device with circuitry spanning the first portion and the second portion, the circuitry configured to detect an armed state and to trigger an alarm during a breach of the armed state, and
- one of the first portion and the second portion includes a wheel or a spool, the wheel or the spool connected to extend and retract an electrically conductive flexible line, and is structured to mount to a surface, and another of the first portion and the second portion contains the alarm, a replaceable battery compartment, or both the alarm and the replaceable battery compartment.

An anti-theft apparatus comprising:
- a second portion of an anti-theft security device, the second portion configured to have a separate state with respect to a first portion and a combined state with respect to the first portion, such that when in the combined state, the second portion is joinable with the first portion to collectively form the anti-theft security device with circuitry spanning the first portion and the second portion, the circuitry configured to detect an armed state and to trigger an alarm during a breach of the armed state, wherein the second portion includes a wheel or a spool, the wheel or the spool connected to extend and retract an electrically conductive flexible line, and is structured to mount to a surface by an adhesive, at least one screw, or both said adhesive and said at least one screw, and the first portion contains the alarm, a replaceable battery compartment, or both the alarm and the replaceable battery compartment.
A process of using an anti-theft apparatus, the process including:
- combining a first portion of an anti-theft security device, the first portion configured to have a separate state with respect to a second portion and a combined state with respect to the second portion, with the second portion of the anti-theft security device, the second portion configured to have the separate state with respect to the first portion and the combined state with respect to the first portion, wherein
- the first portion and the second portion are each configured such that when in the combined state, the first portion and the second portion are joinable together to collectively form the anti-theft security device arranged to provide anti-theft protection with circuitry spanning the first portion and the second portion, the circuitry configured to detect an armed state and to trigger an alarm during a breach of the armed state, and
- one of the first portion and the second portion includes a wheel or a spool, the wheel or the spool connected to extend and retract an electrically conductive flexible line, and is structured to mount to a surface, and another of the first portion and the second portion contains the alarm, a replaceable battery compartment, or both the alarm and the replaceable battery compartment.
A process of making an anti-theft apparatus, the process including:
- forming a first portion of an anti-theft security device, the first portion configured to have a separate state with respect to a second portion and a combined state with respect to the second portion, or
- forming the second portion of the anti-theft security device, the second portion configured to have the separate state with respect to the first portion and the combined state with respect to the first portion, or
- forming both the first portion of the anti-theft security device and the second portion of the security device, the first portion configured to have the separate state with respect to the second portion and the combined state with respect to the second portion, and the second portion configured to have a separate state with respect to the first portion and a combined state with respect to the first portion, wherein
- the first portion and the second portion are each configured such that when in the combined state, the first portion and the second portion are joinable together to collectively form the anti-theft security device with circuitry spanning the first portion and the second portion, the circuitry configured to detect an armed state and to trigger an alarm during a breach of the armed state, and
- one of the first portion and the second portion includes a wheel or a spool, the wheel or the spool connected to extend and retract an electrically conductive flexible line, and is structured to mount to a surface, and another of the first portion and the second portion contains the alarm, a replaceable battery compartment, or both the alarm and the replaceable battery compartment.
