    Abstract

    An alarmed closable packaging for a container of goods has at least two sections whose edges have closure elements and which, once in contact, completely envelop and seal the container of goods. The multilayer sections have first and second electrically conductive layers with an insulator between. The insulator recovers its thickness after having undergone crushing. Each section has a support with conductive attachments connected to respective conductive layers. Each section has an electronic device attached by the support, an electrode of the electronic device contacting conductive attachments of the support, creating a low continuous voltage on the first electrically conductive layer of each section, with another electrode similarly connected to the second electrically conductive layer. The electronic device transmits a signal to a receiver and records variation of the voltage from impacts or tears of the closable packaging or to an unauthorised removal of the device from its support.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

    [0041] A preferred embodiment of a closable alarmed packaging according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

    [0042] The peculiarity of the alarmed packaging consists in the multilayer composition of the sections that compose its surface, which have in particular at least one first electrically conductive layer and a second electrically conductive layer separated by a layer of insulating material interposed between them. More particularly, the sections can be viewed as a series of coupled plastic and metal films, wherein the conductive layers remain isolated one from the other.

    [0043] Advantageously, the conductive layers are aluminium films and the non-conductive layer is a polymeric film in EPE. In a preferred embodiment, the sections are made in layers of material placed in the following order (starting from the outer surface): PET—aluminium—woven raffia—EPE—woven raffia—aluminium—PET. With such a configuration, the aluminium conductive layers remain isolated one from the other.

    [0044] A further peculiarity of the packaging consists in the fact that, in use, a low voltage is constantly applied to the conductive layers. Should these layers come into contact one with the other, also by means of traversing by a lacerating object such as a blade or the like, a change in voltage occurs which is immediately recorded by an electronic device associated with the packaging.

    [0045] This electronic device, which is an integral part of the alarmed packaging, also functions as a transmitter, being capable of transmitting information on the status of the various sections of the packaging to a receiving platform or generally to a user remotely connected to the device. It also contains the source designed to apply low voltage to the conductive layers by means of appropriate conductive attachments. Generally, the low voltage source is a lithium battery.

    [0046] This system, once the packaging 1 has been applied to the container to be protected, makes it possible to signal in real time multiple break-in attempts or accidental damage, also repeated in time, thus making it possible to identify, also in real time, the subject of the transport chain responsible for the event. In fact, both break-in attempts due to tears and accidental events of various kinds involving particularly violent impacts cause the crushing of multilayer sections with the consequent creation of points of contact between the conductive layers. More particularly, in the case of tears in the packaging caused by an object provided with a metal blade, the blade itself will create a connection between the conductive layers, without them actually coming into contact.

    [0047] The insulating material placed between the two conductive layers plays a fundamental role in the functioning of the alarmed packaging, more particularly in ensuring the possibility that further break-ins or damaging events can be traced after the first one. It is in fact preferably made from material which, after crushing, returns to its original thickness, thus avoiding that after the first break-in attempt a continuous contact remains between the two conductive layers and therefore a signal which is disturbed with respect to the standard one.

    [0048] A preferred embodiment of the alarmed packaging is that shown in the various accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1 an alarmed packaging is shown, denoted overall by reference numeral 1, applied to a pallet of parallelepiped shape, to which an electronic device 50 is associated. In this embodiment, the packaging 1 is composed of two separate sections 10 and 20 which can be coupled one to the other, by means of suitable coupling and closure means, directly on the container to be protected. Generally, sections 10 and 20 have on their edges the elements of a zip or zipper 30, in such a way as to make the contents easily accessible and inspectable by an authorised user.

    [0049] Although an embodiment formed by two separable sections will be described here below, the packaging can also be made in more than two different sections, joined by a zip to allow access to the container or pallet.

    [0050] Conveniently, the two sections 10 and 20 present a “C” configuration like that shown schematically in FIG. 2, particularly suitable for application on a pallet of cubic or parallelepiped shape. This drawing shows a first section 10 formed by a top surface or face 12 and by two lateral faces 14, 16 placed in a substantially perpendicular manner to the top face on its two opposite edges. A second section 20 is constituted in a manner totally analogous to the first C-shaped section 10, presenting a surface defining, only by convention, a bottom face 22 and two lateral faces 24, 26.

    [0051] It is in itself evident that, in such an embodiment, the top 10 and the base 20 have the same shape; in the same way, the lateral faces 14, 16 and 24, 26 also have the same shape, which may be analogous to that of base 10 and top 20 in the case of cubic packaging.

    [0052] The closure of the packaging 1 therefore takes place by coupling the sections 10 and 20 by means of the aforementioned closure element or zip 30 in such a way as to form a box-shaped body, making the free edges of one section coincide with the free edges of the other. Preferably, the two zips that make up the zip fastener 30 terminate in the same point of the packaging.

    [0053] A structure made in this way, in addition to the convenience of application and the ease of access to the contents inside, allows reduction to a minimum of the use of welds or seams that may place in contact layers of conductive material while keeping the number of sections of which it is composed limited.

    [0054] Having to avoid that during the seaming or welding of the zip 30 along all the edges of the sections 10 and 20 the conductive layers come into contact one with the other, it is preferable to use zips that are rubberized and therefore not capable of conducting, inserting their support in the thickness of the insulating material placed at the two layers of conductive material.

    [0055] The application of the electronic device 50 to the packaging 1 takes place by means of one or more supports 40, 40′ applied to the sections, such as those shown in FIGS. 5 to 8. A single support 40, in addition to the mere mechanical function of coupling between electronic device 50 and packaging 1, comprises four conductive attachments 41, 42, 43, 44 for tensioning the conductive layers of the sections 10 and 20.

    [0056] More particularly, after the application of the support 50 to the multilayer section, two attachments 41 and 42 are connected to a first of the two conductive layers and another two attachments 43 and 44 are connected to the second of the two conductive layers, in order to tension the respective section of the packaging. From what has just been said, it is clear that each separate section requires a respective support for tensioning.

    [0057] In the preferred embodiment, two supports 40, 40′ are applied to the sections 10 and 20, respectively. The parallelepiped configuration of the packaging 1 allows the two supports 40, 40′ to be applied as shown more particularly in FIG. 5, i.e. in proximity of the edges of two faces perpendicular one to the other, such as faces 16 and 26 (see also the schematic illustration of FIG. 2). More specifically, the supports 40, 40′ substantially consist of a plate 45 of non-conductive material which is applied on these faces 16 and 26 at the point in which the travel of the zip 30 ends. In this way, once the two sections 10 and 20 have been coupled together and the packaging 1 has been closed, the two plates are placed one perpendicular to the other and in proximity of the point of end of travel of the zip 30, in which, in the condition of packaging 1 closed, two sliders 31 and 32 are located.

    [0058] Each plate 45 of the supports 40, 40′ preferably has two vertical edges 46 and 48 and a lower edge 47 that define an open seat at the top. The vertical edges 46 and 48 advantageously have slide tracks, in such a way as to allow the slide insertion of an electronic device which, going to engage the conductive couplings 41, 42, 43, 44, is capable of creating the low voltage on the multilayer section, of recording the variations of the voltage signal and of transmitting the information to a receiver.

    [0059] The support 40 just described represents a preferred solution from the point of view of safety and signal quality. However, in particular cases, it is possible to apply supports comprising only two attachments, each of which is capable of tensioning one of the two conductive layers.

    [0060] A configuration such as that shown in the various drawings has considerable advantages from a constructional point of view, among which the possibility of applying to the packaging 1 formed by two sections 10 and 20 a single electronic device 50 of angular shape, whose appearance takes on the form shown in the frontal schematic view of FIG. 3 and in the view from above of FIG. 4. The angular electrical device 50 has such a configuration that it can simultaneously power and communicate with the two sections 10 and 20 which, being separate one from the other, would require to be powered by two respective voltage sources.

    [0061] The electronic device 50 assumes an “L” shape with a first section 56 and a second section 58 identical one to the other, whose inner part, i.e. that applied directly to the packaging 1, is better illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11. Each of the sections 56, 58 has internally a seat 60 delimited by two vertical edges 62, 64 and by an upper edge 63. Four fixing electrodes 51, 52, 53, 54 are formed inside these seats 60, each of them being connected to the low voltage source. The electrodes are therefore apt, when the electronic device 50 is applied to the packaging, to come into contact with the conductive attachments 41, 42, 43, 44 of the supports 40, 40′ in order to generate the low voltage in the multilayer sections 10 and 20.

    [0062] The vertical edges 62 and 64 of the seat 60 have a configuration such as to allow sliding along the tracks formed on the vertical edges 46 and 48 of the supports 40, 40′. The hooking of the device 50 to the packaging 1 therefore takes place by simply slipping it from above onto the supports 40, 40′. FIG. 9 shows an illustration from below of the device 50 when it is applied to the packaging 1, with the lower edge 47 of the supports 40, 40′ in evidence.

    [0063] The solution adopted, whereby the fixing electrodes 51, 52, 53, 54 are the means through which the low voltage is applied to the packaging 1, also allows the device 50 to record when it has been removed from its supports, without having to apply additional sensors for this purpose, and therefore to send a signal when the operation appears to be unauthorised. Furthermore, conveniently, the electronic device 50 is applied in the point in which the travel of the zip 30 ends, with the sliders 31, 32 of the zips which are then placed in special locking housings and covered by the same device 50 once installed on the packaging 1. In such a situation, it is not possible to open the zip 30 without removing the electrical device 50; an unauthorised removal of the electrical device will therefore be immediately reported. Optionally, a numbered security seal can also be used.

    [0064] An additional level of security can be achieved through the provision of at least one printed circuit, to be inserted in a non-visible part of the packaging, independently powered and provided with a system of communication with the device 50. FIG. 12 shows a pair of printed circuits 70, 70′ not yet applied to the packaging. The printed circuits 70, 70′ are provided with respective conductor cables 71, 71′ joined together.

    [0065] In a preferred manner, in use, the printed circuits 70, 70′ are provided at the plate 45 of the supports 40, 40′, and optionally integrated therein, with the conductor cables 71, 71′ protruding towards the edges of the sections of the packaging in which the closure elements are present, as shown in FIG. 13. Once the content to be transported has been placed inside the packaging and the sections have been joined together by means of the zip 30, one or more cables 71, 71′ can be passed in an eyelet of the zip slider, so as to ensure a further level of control.

    [0066] FIG. 14 shows an alarmed packaging formed by two sections and provided with two printed circuits placed at plates 40, 40′ from which two connecting cables 71, 71′ protrude. In this drawing, the cable 71 is passed in the eyelet of a slider 32 and the cable 71′ in the eyelet of the other slider 31, establishing an electrical continuity. The zip 30 cannot therefore be opened without the cables being disconnected. Should this operation not be authorised, the interruption of the connection will be promptly signalled to the electronic device.

    [0067] A similar level of safety can be obtained also by providing a single cable 71 exiting from a circuit 70, passed through the eyelet of both sliders and inserted in a plug provided in the other circuit 70′, ensuring continuity of the connection until the sliders are moved.

    [0068] Alternatively, it is also possible to provide only one printed circuit 70 whose cable 71, after being passed through the eyelets of the cursors 31 and 32, will go to be inserted in a plug provided in the same printed circuit 70.

    [0069] In all three ways described, the cables 71, 71′ passed through the eyelets of the sliders 31, 32 ensure that the packaging cannot be opened without interrupting the electrical continuity with the electronic device, which will receive an alarm in the case of unauthorised opening.

    [0070] To recapitulate, an alarmed packaging according to the present invention is formed by one or more multilayer sections comprising two conductive layers separated one from the other, directly connected to an electronic device that applies a low voltage and detects variations thereof. The electronic device is preferably provided with a GSM transmitter for communicating variations in the voltage signal (and therefore probable damage to the packaging) to a data collection platform, which is capable of acquiring in real time other information such as the time and precise location in which the damage takes place thanks to the use of a GPS system. The signalling of attempts at break-ins and/or damage can take place multiple times, in that the interposed insulating layer, following a first crushing, regains its thickness, maintaining the conductive layers separate, and thus returning to supplying a standard signal. If an attempt is made to access the content again, a new alarm signal will inform the user of further tears in the packaging.

    [0071] This aspect constitutes a great advantage for the user, who will also be able to identify more easily the damaged part of the packaging by means of a function in the electronic device that makes it possible to distinguish in which point of the sections the alarm was triggered, making it easier and quicker to detect the affected part by visual inspection.

    [0072] In addition, various security measures can be applied to each electronic device apt to prevent direct tampering, including: [0073] already mentioned, the signalling of the unauthorised removal of the electronic device, by sending an alarm message; [0074] anti-jammer equipment, which allows a warning message to be sent just before the use of a radio wave blocking device; the electronic device will continue in any case to record various environmental data and break-in events; [0075] a defence system against magnets or electric shocks, comprising a special internal resistance that enables the electronic device to prevent intentional electric shock attempts aimed at destroying its CPU before a possible magnetic shielding, signalling the problem to the user in real time; [0076] finally, in the rare case wherein the electronic device is successfully shielded, removed from its supports on the packaging and its battery pack destroyed, an emergency battery is installed directly behind the CPU that will send a final alarm signal to the platform before shutting down.

    [0077] The alarmed packaging according to the present invention also allows the detecting of multiple items of information and updates on the status of the transported goods and has several advantageous applications that will be summarised here.

    Signalling of Successful Engagement of the Electronic Device

    [0078] Once the protective part of the packaging has been placed around the container of the goods to be transported and the electronic device is correctly applied to the respective supports, the same device will enter “transport mode” and will signal this to the user by a message confirming the successful engagement. In the absence of this message, the respective transport phase is to be considered as not started.

    Real-Time Route and Default Route Setting

    [0079] During land transport, the GPS will track all the roads used to arrive at the destination and it will also be possible to choose a mandatory transport route, in which stops and any unplanned route changes will be recorded and reported, in order to prevent dangerous situations for the safety of the goods. Speed can also be monitored thanks to the use of gyroscopes and accelerometers.

    “Unauthorised Movement” Mode

    [0080] If for some reason it is decided not to move and/or to station the packaging applied to the goods container in a precise point without having to be moved (e.g. a security area), once the “unauthorised movement” mode has been activated it will signal, after acquiring the geographical coordinates, any movement from the designated point, alerting the control user by means of real-time messaging.

    Automatic Shutdown in Aircraft

    [0081] Being primarily designed for transport by air, the alarmed packaging recognises the airport area by means of geographical coordinates and, at the time of start of take-off, will automatically activate the aeroplane mode, with relative activation message, in order to be able to travel in compliance with regulations.

    Functioning in the Absence of a Signal

    [0082] If communications to the platform are temporarily interrupted, such as for example in the case of absence of signal due to transport by sea, crossing of tunnels, underground passages, etc., the electronic device will continue to record environmental data (temperature, data from the gyroscope and altimeter, acceleration, pressure, external and internal temperature, light inside the packaging), as well as sending a complete report of the transport, including possible reports of break-in/theft attempts, once the connection is re-established.

    Mechanical and Physical Features

    [0083] The alarmed packaging according to the invention is also set up to signal by means of alarm messages in real time the maximum/minimum attainment of certain settable parameters such as internal and external temperature and gyroscopic speed.

    [0084] The special plastic and metal multilayer of the packaging 1 has been tested (ASTM E903-12 & ASTM C518-17) with measurement of the following parameters: [0085] solar reflectance of 92.29%, [0086] thermal conductivity of 0.029 W/(m*K) and of [0087] thermal resistance of 0.352 (m.sup.2*K)/W.

    [0088] The robust and flexible multilayer composition has excellent mechanical tensile strength and impact resistance.

    [0089] With reference to the particular embodiment illustrated in the drawings, the two C-shaped sections 10, 20 and the applied rubberized zips 30 make the alarmed packaging 1 liquid infiltration proof, as well as making the assembly operation simple and fast.

    [0090] A smart packaging suitable for being applied on containers of goods and the like has just been described, which packaging is capable of sending alarm signals whenever it undergoes a potentially damaging event. The invention has been illustrated with particular reference to its preferred embodiment, consisting of two C-shaped sections which can be coupled together by means of a zip fastener. However, it is clear that the invention can also be applied to packagings with sections of different shapes or in more than two sections, it being understood that these sections must have a multilayer structure and that at least one electrical device suitable for creating the low voltage and transmitting the information must be present. The illustrated embodiment, for example, has the special feature of providing a single electrical device capable of powering both sections; however, in a less convenient manner, two separate electronic devices could be applied to the two sections.

    [0091] The present invention is therefore not limited to the particular embodiment previously described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, but numerous detailed changes may be made thereto, within the reach of the person skilled in the art, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
