SECURING DEVICE FOR OBJECTS
First Claim
1. A securing device for attachment to an object that is to be secured, wherein the securing device comprises a housing with a base plate and a lid as well as an apparatus for generating an alarm when the securing device is removed from the object without authorization, wherein the securing device has an open state and a closed state, and wherein in the closed state said base plate and said lid can be locked to one another by a lock, said lock having a locking condition and a releasing condition, wherein the apparatus for generating an alarm comprises a mechanical and/or an optical sensor, wherein the mechanical sensor in the closed state through the base plate can detect contact with the object and respond to loss of contact with the object, and wherein the optical sensor emits light through the base plate, can detect reflections of the light from the object through the base plate, and can react to changes in the reflections.

Abstract
A securing device for attachment of an object (2) which is to be secured. The securing device has a housing with a base plate and a lid as well as an apparatus for generating an alarm when the securing device is removed from the object without authorization. The securing device has an open and closed state. In the closed state the base plate and the lid can be locked to one another by a lock. The apparatus for generating an alarm comprises a mechanical sensor and/or an optical sensor In the closed state the mechanical sensor can detect contact with the object by the base plate and can react to a loss of contact with the object. In the closed state the optical sensor emits light through the base plate, and can sense reflections of this light from the object through the base plate and can react to changes in these reflections.
