Stabilized article surveillance responder.

摘要

An electronic article surveillance system responder (14) which comprises an electrical responder circuit (22) and a housing (16) which mounts the circuit (22) on an article (10) to be protected. The housing (16) is arranged to support the circuit (22) in such a manner that a dielectric region (30) is formed between the circuit (22) and the article (10). An electrically conductive plate (28) is also held by the housing (16) on the opposite side of the dielectric region (30) from the circuit (22) to isolate the circuit (22) from the effects of metal objects on which the responder (14) is mounted. The housing (16) is flared so that it can be mounted on an article (10) in proper orientation.
