Substance release benefit denial security device

A security device comprising:

• an electronic assembly comprising:
• a radio frequency receiver;
• and
• processing circuitry, the processing circuitry being coupled to the radio frequency receiver;
• a benefit denial assembly comprising:
• a vessel, wherein a substance is disposed within the vessel;
• a release mechanism configured to release the substance into or onto the article, the release mechanism being coupled to and triggerable by the processing circuitry;
• wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• receive a gate detected signal from the radio frequency receiver in response to the radio frequency receiver receiving a wireless signal;
• and
• in response to receiving the gate detected signal from the radio frequency receiver, transmit a release signal to the release mechanism to trigger the release mechanism to release the substance;
• and
• wherein the electronic assembly is disposed within a housing, the security device comprising a locking assembly configured to lock the security device to inhibit separation of the security device from an article and configured to unlock the security device from the article to permit the article to be separated from the security device without sounding an alarm, the locking assembly comprising (i) a pin lock disposed within the housing and a pin that is releasably engagable with the pin lock;
• or (ii) a clamp suitable to apply a clamping force to hold the housing against a surface of an article.

A security device comprising:

• a container, wherein the container is configured to receive an article within the container;
• a locking assembly affixed to the container, the locking assembly being configured to lock the container to inhibit access to the article and unlock the container to permit access to the article;
• an electronic assembly affixed to the container, the electronic assembly comprising:
• a radio frequency receiver;
• and
• processing circuitry, the processing circuitry being coupled to the radio frequency receiver;
• a benefit denial assembly comprising:
• a vessel, wherein a substance is disposed within the vessel;
• a release mechanism configured to release the substance into the container, the release mechanism being coupled to and triggerable by the processing circuitry;
• wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• receive a gate detected signal from the radio frequency receiver in response to the radio frequency receiver receiving a wireless signal;
• and
• in response to receiving the gate detected signal from the radio frequency receiver, transmit a release signal to the release mechanism to trigger the release mechanism to release the substance.
