Patent attributes
An anti-theft device comprising a container formed by a box (10) and a lid (11) hinged together. A lock slide (15) inside the box can be displaced between a disengaged position and an engaged position. A flange (22) on the lid forms an L-shaped slot. A first limb (23A) of the slot is perpendicular to a free edge of the flange and opens in the edge to receive a projection on the lock slide in the disengaged position thereof. A second limb (23B) of the slot extends transversely of the first limb to receive the projection when the lock slide is in the engaged position. A latch mechanism (26, 28) latching the lock slide in the engaged position can be actuated by a special tool to unlatch the lock slide and allow displacement thereof to the disengaged position.
