Anti-theft alarm systems for stores
First Claim
1. Arrangement for reducing interference noise between adjacent magnetic field generating detection systems, particularly in conjunction with store anti-theft installations, comprising:
- a first set of opposed coil loops for detecting anti-theft tags, said coil loops generating the magnetic field in one system and being of a first frequency; and
a second set of opposed coil loops for detecting anti-theft tags, said second set of coil loops generating the magnetic field in another system adjacent a first side of the one system at a second frequency, different from said first frequency.

Abstract
In self-service stores, pay desks are usually arranged in a row side by side. Anti-theft detectors are often arranged in conjuction with the pay desks, and comprise coil loops generating magnetic fields. The coils are usually fed with a common alternating current. The result of this is that an alarm-generating object at one pay desk can give an alarm at the detectors of an adjacent pay desk. The invention is based on feeding the coil loops in alternate systems with one alternating frequency and the ones in between with a deviating frequency, whereby detection isolation between the systems with the same frequency is achieved.

3. An anti-theft alarm system for stores comprising:
a plurality of side-by-side passage gates, each passage gate including a pay desk and a means for detecting anti-theft tags and avoiding false detection, including a respective pair of opposed coil loops having an alternating current, one of said passage gates operating said coil loops at a first frequency, and another passage gate on a first side of said one passage gate operating said coil loops at a second frequency, different from said first frequency. - View Dependent Claims (4)
