Device for controlling a closure system of an article and corresponding article

A monitor device for monitoring the closed or open state of an article, such as an article of clothing or an article of baggage, the monitor device being an electronic circuit comprising:

• a first closure system comprising first and second electrically conductive elements that are electrically connectable and disconnectable relative to each other, with at least the first element comprising a hollow body;
• an electrical power supply, housed in the hollow body, said electrical power supply having a positive pole and a negative pole, one of the poles being electrically connected to the hollow body of the first element, and the other pole being connected to an electrically conductive element having means electrically insulating said electrically conductive element from the hollow body and passing through said hollow body;
• a second closure system comprising a first terminal and a second terminal;
• and
• a detector-and-signaling device comprising both a detector module configured to be powered by the power supply when the first closure system is in the closed state and to detect the open or closed state of the second closure system, and also a signaling module configured to issue a signal as a function of the open or closed state of the second closure system as detected by the detector module.
