Title: Stabilizing the position of an active element in a magnetomechanical eas marker
Inventor: HO WING K
IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 1999-07-02
Abstract: A magnetomechanical EAS marker (20) is formed of a housing (22, 24), a magnetostrictive active element (12) in the housing and a bias element (not separately shown) fixedly mounted on the housing. A  central portion of the active element is secured to the housing to keep the active element from shifting in a longitudinal direction relative to the bias element and to keep ends of the active element spaced from the housing. The active element remains free to mechanically resonate in response to an EAS interrogation signal. The stable positioning of the active element prevents variations in the bias magnetic field due to shifting relative to the bias element, while keeping ends of the active element free from frictional damping due to mechanical loading from contact with the housing.
