A security device for protection against pickpockets comprising a clamp intended to be releasably clamped on a top edge of a pocket and connected to a card-size casing by a flexible connecting element is disclosed. The card-size casing is adapted to be received in a compartment inside a purse which, in turn, is received in the pocket such that pulling the purse out of the pocket causes a lock bolt on the clamp to tightly secure the clamp to the pocket. A pull rod is movably fastened in the casing and connected to the flexible connecting element to trigger an alarm circuit when the casing is pulled outwards.
An antitheft alarm device has an electric circuit 21 for generation of an audible alarm and a supporting mechanism 42 for a flexible cord 6 formed between an upper and lower face plates 2, 3. The circuit 21 has a switch 26 comprising a stationary terminal 35 and a movable terminal 34 biased by a spring to be engaged with the stationary terminal 35. The flexible cord 6 detachably held by the mechanism 42 normally maintains the movable terminal 34 to be disengaged with the stationary terminal 35. After the cord 6 is detached, the movable terminal 34 engages with the stationary terminal 35 and consequently the audible alarm is generated.
A PURSE ALARM is provided including a purse and a switch for providing an activation signal upon the opening thereof. A purse alarm module is situated the purse and includes a purse state mechanism in communication with the switch. The purse state mechanism is adapted to continuously transmit the activation signal upon the instantaneous receipt thereof. A purse transmitter is connected to the purse state mechanism for transmitting the activation signal via free space upon the receipt thereof. Further included is a portable remote with a remote receiver adapted to receive the activation signal via free space and a remote alarm means for emitting an audible alarm during the receipt of the activation signal. Also included is a remote state mechanism connected between the remote receiver and the remote alarm. The remote state mechanism is adapted to continuously transmit the activation signal to the remote alarm upon the instantaneous receipt thereof from the remote receiver thereby actuating the remote alarm upon the opening of the purse.
