First Claim
1. A tag adapted to be used in an article surveillance system with an article to be protected, the tag comprising:
- a fist tag section, said first tag section including a body having an upper end;
a second tag section cooperating with said first tag section to form a loop which enables the tag to be attached to and released from said article, said second tag section including wedge means movably disposed within said body and whose upper ends defines, with he upper end of said body, said loop; and
mean for quickly coupling and releasing the first and second tag sections to change said loop and permit quick attachment and release of said tag and article, said coupling means releasably coupling said wedge means to said body.

Abstract
A theft detection tag is formed from first and second sections which define a loop for receipt of an article part and which are connected by a coupling adapted to be quickly activated so as to change the loop and thereby permit quick attachment and release of the tag and article. In a first form of the tag, the first tag section includes a body having an upper end and the second tag section includes wedge means movable within the body to form the loop with the upper body end. In a second form of the tag, the first section includes a flexible member having at one end teeth and the second member includes a body with a channel for receiving the one end of the flexible member.
