A security tag assembly structured to discourage unauthorized removal of
merchandise comprising a base including at least one magnetomechanical
member normally operatively oriented in an armed mode. The armed mode is
at least partially defined by the magnetomechanical member demonstrating
a vibration or mechanical resonance when exposed to a predetermined
resonant frequency, such as when passing through or otherwise disposed in
proximity to a monitoring alarm assembly. A stabilizing assembly
comprising at least one stabilizing magnet is disposed and structured to
expose said magnetomechanical member to a stabilizing magnet field
sufficient operative characteristics to facilitate restoration or
maintenance of the armed mode of the magnetomechanical member even when
exposed to a disruptive magnetic field, such as when the
magnetomechanical member is attempting to be disarmed by an unauthorized
source.
