DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0028] With reference to the Figures, it is possible to note that an anti-theft safety device 1 is equipped with crimping means 11, guiding means 12, housing means 13 and locking means 14 of the crimping means 11.

[0029] Advantageously, the anti-theft safety device 1 according to the present invention further comprises at least one connection structure 2, 3 between the guiding means 12 and the housing means 13 of the crimping means 11 in order to keep such housing means 13 and such locking means 14 permanently aligned with such crimping means 11 in order to avoid that the crimping means 11, in the unlocked configuration of the device 1, are exposed with risks of injuries for the users and to allow blocking the crimping means 11 in the locking means 14 without having to use centering means.

[0030] In particular, the crimping means 11 comprise at least one nail, possibly sliding by means of a telescopic tube belonging to the guiding means 12, adapted to reach a seat belonging to the housing means 13 and remain blocked by means of at least one sphere adapted to press against the nail by means of a spring belonging to the locking means 14.

[0031] In a first preferred embodiment, like the one in FIGS. 1 to 4, the device 1 according to the present invention can be used for the anti-theft protection of pieces of clothing and the structure 2, 3 can be elastically deformed to allow positioning the piece of clothing to be protected before its crimping, with respect to the crimping means 11.

[0032] According to such first preferred embodiment, the structure 2, 3 comprises a first and a second support connected through a joint adapted to obtain a space 4 to allow positioning the piece of clothing to be protected, with respect to the crimping means 11.

[0033] In a second preferred embodiment, like the one of FIGS. 5 and 6, the device 1 according to the present invention can be used for the anti-theft protection of packages of electronic and/or informatics products, such as SD memory cards, USB keys, etc. According to such second preferred embodiment, the structure 2, 3 is composed of at least one container composed of a rear element 3 and of a front element 2 which can be assembled to internally define at least one containing room 23 adapted to contain therein at least one package of such product. Moreover, inside such containing room 23, the structure 2, 3, and in particular the rear element 3, can comprise at least one withdrawal preventing profile 24 adapted to abut and compress at least one portion of the package to prevent it from being withdrawn from inside the containing room 23 when such rear element 3 and such front element 2 are assembled.

[0034] Moreover, in order to make the anti-theft action efficient, the structure 2, 3 comprises at least one detecting system 5 with radiofrequency (RF), electromagnetic (EM) or acoustic-magnetic (AM) with ferrite core (not shown) or their combinations cooperating with the anti-theft detection barriers and/or at least one RFID element (not shown), according to the prior art. In particular, as it is possible to note for example in FIG. 2, the structure 2, 3 can comprise at least one room 21 closed by a cover 22 to be able to house therein such detecting system 5. Alternatively, as it is possible to note for example in FIG. 5, the room 21 can be integrally housed inside the structure 2, 3.
