Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sealable fastening device, and is primarily, although not exclusively, concerned with a device for fastening the runner of a zip fastener, especially the runner of a zip fastener which serves to close a container, such as a reusable container, for example.
  • sealable fastening devices which comprise a movable body, a body (herein referred to as the fixed body) to which in use of the device the movable body is to be fastened, and a seal device, the movable body, fixed body and seal device being arranged to co-operate so that when the movable body is suitably attached to the fixed body the seal can be fitted so as to fasten the movable body to the fixed body in such a manner that, in order to remove the movable body from the fixed body it will normally be necessary to break the seal device.
  • the seal devices are expendable, and fresh supplies are only available to authorised persons, so that if an unauthorised person removes the movable body from the fixed body, there will normally be evidence of this because the seal will have been broken. Examples of such fastening devices are disclosed in G.B. 930,508, 1,424,680, 1,476,430 and 1,543,380 and DE-A-2416826.
  • DE-A-2416826 discloses a sealable fastening device for a container, in which a movable body is attached to a sliding fastener which opens and closes the container.
  • a movable body When the container is closed the movable body fits over a housing attached to the container and is fixed to the housing by a seal device. Feet of the seal device are inserted through cooperating slots in the housing and movable body and are held by a resilient member in the housing. A body of the seal device rests against the outside on the top of the movable body. To undo the seal the seal must be broken between the body and the feet, a tool normally being employed for this purpose, thus showing that the container has been opened.
  • the housing is separated from the inside of the container and has an open end to allow the broken feet to be removed, the open end being covered by the movable body when it is in position on the housing.
  • Sealable fastening devices of the above described kind are often used to protect closure devices (e.g. zip fasteners) on containers, so that any unauthorised opening of the closure device can be detected.
  • closure devices e.g. zip fasteners
  • a container which is commonly protected in this manner is what has become known as a reusable container.
  • a reusable container comprises a pouch which is closed by a zip and has on its outside a window through which the destination address may be shown and optionally an additional window for postage stamps.
  • the runner of the zip is attached to the movable body, and the fixed body is attached to the container adjacent to the position of the zip fastener when the zip is closed, so that the zip runner can be fastened via the movable body to the fixed body and the sealing device can then be fitted.
  • a container having a sealable fastening device comprising a housing attached to the container and having a cavity therewithin, a movable body attached to a movable part of the container for closing the container, the movable body being shaped to fit over the housing, the housing and movable body having a passage therethrough through which a head of a seal device is inserted, the movable body and the housing being locked together by the seal device to lock the container closed and the head of the seal device being adapted so that once the head has been inserted through the passage it cannot normally be removed through said passage, the seal device having a frangible neck which extends through the passage and is broken to enable the housing and movable body to be parted, and a tail portion which is larger than said passage, and the housing having an aperture covered by the movable body and through which the head can be removed after the seal device has been broken, the cavity being separated from the inside of the container to prevent the head of the seal device falling into the container when the seal
  • the seal device or part seal device retained in the cavity of the housing after unfastening of the device can be removed from outside a container to which the fastening device may be applied, and yet the fastening device can be resistant to tampering when in the fastened condition.
  • the form of movable body employed in the device of the invention can lend itself to easy manipulation in use, and the seal is readily broken by hand.
  • said head portion comprises a substantially V-shaped member, the apex of the V-shaped member being connected to said tail portion through an end of a first one of the legs of the V, which end is remote from the apex of the V, the second of the legs of the V being capable of being resiliently urged towards said first leg to permit said head portion to pass through said passage into said cavity; when in said cavity said first leg can spring back to its original position, so that if it is then attempted to withdraw the seal device, the free end of said first leg will catch on the interior of the fastening device (e.g. on the interior wall of the housing) to resist such withdrawal.
  • the fastening device e.g. on the interior wall of the housing
  • the seal device should include a shoulder at the point of attachment of said first leg to the rest of the seal device, said shoulder being in opposed relation to said tail portion; again, the shoulder can, by catching on the interior of the fastening device, resist withdrawal of the seal device.
  • the housing of the fixed body of the fastening device should be of substantially cuboid (rectangular parallelepiped) shape.
  • the fixed body may have a pair of outwardly projecting legs attached to the base of said housing in opposed relationship; or it may have a pair of downwardly projecting legs attached to the base of said housing in opposed relationship.
  • the movable body is attached to the runner of a zip fastener so that, when the zip fastener is closed, the movable body, and thus also the runner of the zip fastener, can be fastened to the fixed body.
  • the container is in the form of a reusable container which is closed by a zip fastener situated in a side of the container and running adjacent to an edge of the container, the fixed body of the fastening device having outwardly projecting legs as described above and being attached to said side of the container.
  • the seal is to be inserted so that after insertion it has a tail portion projecting from the fastening device in a direction which is generally parallel to the plane of said side of the container and perpendicular to said edge of the container; we have found that with this arrangement the seal is generally less likely to be accidentally damaged.
  • the container is in the form of a reusable container which is closed by a zipfastener situated along an edge of the container, the fixed body of the fastening device having downwardly projecting legs as described above and being attached to said edge of the container.
  • the seal device is to be inserted so that after insertion it has a tail portion projecting from the fastening device in a direction which is generally parallel to said edge of the container and away from the zip fastener; again, we have .found that with this arrangement the seal is generally less likely to be accidentally damaged.
  • the sealable fastening device shown therein comprises a movable body 1, a body 2 (designated the fixed body) and a seal device 3.
  • the fixed body 2 is of a suitable structural plastics material and is in the form of a hollow substantially cuboid-shaped housing 4 defining a cavity 4a, and having a pair of outwardly projecting legs 5 and 6, which are attached to the base of the housing 4 in opposed relationship, there being holes 7, 8, 9 and 10 formed through the legs.
  • Housing 4 has a rectangular slit 11 in a side wall 12, an aperture 13 extending in the lower portion of the front wall 14 right down to the level of the bottom of legs 5 and 6, and a further aperture 15 (designated the base aperture) constituting the base of the cuboid of the housing 4. It will be seen that apertures 13 and 15 abut each other.
  • Movable body 1 again is of a suitable structural plastics material, and comprises a hollow generally cuboid-shaped housing 16 having a tab 17 projecting rearwardly therefrom, tab 17 having a hole 18 therethrough.
  • Formed in side wall 19 of housing 16 is a rectangular slit 20, the rectangular dimensions of which are substantially the same as those of rectangular slit 11. It will be seen that the front wall 21 of the housing 16 has a depending lip 22.
  • the housing of the fixed body 2 and the housing 16 of the movable body 1 are so dimensioned that the movable body 1 can be snugly fitted over the housing 4 to act as a cover for it, with the rectangular slits 11 and 20 in alignment with each other so as to form a passage 23 of rectangular cross-section, and the front wall 21 together with its lip 22 fully covering the aperture 13 in the front wall 14 of the housing 4.
  • Seal device 3 comprises a head portion 24 and a tail portion 25 connected to the head portion 24 by a short connecting portion 26.
  • the head portion 24 consists of a substantially V-shaped member 27 and a length 28 which links V-shaped member 27 to the connecting portion 26.
  • V-shaped member 27 consists of a first leg 29 and a second leg 30 joined together at the apex 31 of the V-shaped member 27, the length 28 serving to link the end 32 of the first leg 29 which is remote from apex 31 to the connecting portion 26. It will be seen that this arrangement results in a shoulder 33 at the point of attachment of first leg 29 to the connecting portion 26, the shoulder 33 being in opposed relation to the tail portion 25.
  • Connecting portion 26 includes a depression at 34 which reduces the amount of material required and provides an additional point of weakness to ensure that the seal can be broken when required, although breakage of the seal normally occurs at the junction between the tail portion 25 and the connecting portion 26.
  • Tail portion 25 is of generally rectangular shape and includes a central depression 35 which reduces the amount of material required and also makes it easier to manipulate the tail portion 25.
  • Seal device 3 is monolithically constructed (by moulding, for example) of a plastics material which is of sufficient strength to enable to seal device to remain in its sealing position without. breakage when subjected to the forces to be expected during normal use of the fastening device when in its sealed condition.
  • the strength of the plastics material must not be sufficiently great as to prevent the seal from being broken, when required, by manipulation of the tail portion 25.
  • the plastics material employed must be such as to permit the second leg 30 to be resiliently urged towards the first leg 29.
  • Figure 1 shows a backing plate 38 and rivets 39, 40, 41 and 42 which can be used for fitting the fixed body 2 of the sealable fastening device to another body, for example a reusable container as shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • Backing plate 38 has holes 7a, 8a, 9a and 10a positioned to be aligned with holes 7, 8, 9 and 10 in fixed body 2, and is shaped to provide a depression 43, which can accommodate excess material of the body to which the fixed body 2 is being fixed.
  • the fixed body 2 and the backing plate 38 are placed in position on the body in question so that the latter is sandwiched between them and the respective holes 7, 7a etc.
  • the movable body 1 is fitted over the housing 4 of the fixed body 2 so as to act as a cover for the housing 4, as can best be seen in Figure 2, the front wall 21 together with its depending lip 22 fully covering the aperture 13 in the front wall 14 of the housing 4.
  • the seal device is fitted, by inserting the apex 31 of the V-shaped member 27 into the passage 23 and pushing the seal fully home so that the second leg 30 is gradually resiliently urged, by wedge action, towards the first leg 29 until its free end 36 fits snugly into the recess 37, and then, when the head portion 24 enters into the cavity 4a, the free end 36 springs away again and the head portion 24 takes up the position best shown in Figure 3, wherein the tail 25 abuts against the outside of wall 19 of housing 16, and shoulder 33 and/or free end 36 of leg 30 abut against the inside of side wall 12 of housing 4.
  • the seal 3 is broken, conveniently by manipulating the tail portion 25 upwards so that breakage occurs in the region of the junction of the tail portion 25 and the connecting portion 26, and the tail portion 25 generally together with part of the connecting portion 26 is withdrawn so that the remaining part of the seal 3 (the head portion 24 generally together with part of the connecting portion 26) falls or is pushed into the cavity 4a.
  • the movable body 1 is then lifted off the housing 4 of the fixed body 2, thus unfastening the device and uncovering the aperture 13 to permit the portion of the seal device within cavity 4a to be removed.
  • the aperture 13 can be made of substantial size so as greatly to facilitate the removal of this broken portion of the seal 3.
  • the movable body 1 includes housing 16 which acts as a cover for the housing 4 of the fixed body 2, it can be relatively large and accessible for ease of handling.
  • the container comprises a pouch 46 the interior of which is, in use, closed by a zip fastener 47 and is fitted with a sealable fastening device as described above with reference to Figures 1 to 3.
  • Pouch 46 is constructed predominantly of plastics material, and has a transparent window 48 sealed around its periphery 49 to side 50 of the pouch.
  • a slit 51 is provided in side 50 beneath window 48 so that an address card can be placed in view from within the pouch 46. If the reusable container is to be used in the public mails, an additional window device may be provided for postage stamps.
  • stamps are to be accessible for cancellation, no slit in communication with the interior of the pouch 46 is provided under the additional window, but instead provision is made for inserting a card bearing the stamps from outside the pouch, and the portion of the window below which the stamps are to appear will be left open, so that the stamps will be accessible for cancellation.
  • Zip fastener 47 is situated in side 50, and runs adjacent to edge 52 of the pouch 46, and includes a runner 53 having a projecting finger 54 which passes through hole 18 in the movable body 1.
  • movable body 1 acts as pull tab for runner 53.
  • Fixed body 2 is attached to the side 50 of the pouch 46 in a position adjacent to the end of the zip fastener 47 at which the runner 53 is situated when the zip fastener 47 is closed.
  • Backing plate 38 and rivets 39, 40, 41 and 42 are used for the attachment of fixed body 2 to pouch 46, in the manner described above.
  • the rivets 39, 40, 41 and 42 are replaced by heat- deformable spikes which are formed integrally with the fixed body 2 and project downwardly therefrom at locations corresponding to the positions of the holes 7,8,9 and 10 in the embodiment described above.
  • the zip fastener 47 is opened to permit the insertion of the address card and the articles which are to be carried in the pouch 46, the zip fastener 47 is closed, and the movable body 1 is fastened to the fixed body 2 as described above, using the seal device 3.
  • the base aperture 15 is completely covered by the part of the side 50 which the fixed body 2 overlies, and the aperture 13 is covered by the front wall 21 together with its depending lip 22.
  • the tail portion 25 projects in a direction which is generally parallel to the plane of side 50 and perpendicular to edge 52. We have found that with this arrangement, manipulation of the seal device is easy, and yet the seal is considerably protected by the pouch 46 from accidental damage. Unfastening of the movable body 1 is also as described above, and permits the zip fastener 47 to be opened so that the contents of the pouch 46 can be removed.
  • the reusable container shown in Figures 6 and 7 is generally the same as that shown in Figures 4 and 5, except that the zip fastener 47 is situated along edge 52 of the pouch 46, and the fixed body 2 is modified and repositioned accordingly.
  • the outwardly projecting legs 5 and 6 of the previously described fastening device are replaced by downwardly projecting legs 5a and 6a attached, in opposed relationship, to the base of the housing 4 of the body 2, and the fixed body 2 is fixed, in a manner entirely analogous to that described above, so that it straddles the edge 52 at a position adjacent the end of the zip fastener 47 at which the runner 53 is situated when the zip fastener 47 is closed.
  • the seal.device 3 is positioned so as to lie in a plane generally perpendicular to the plane of the side 50.
  • the fastening device For many purposes,.we prefer to modify the fastening device, by relocation of slits 11 and 20 to the front walls 14 and 21 respectively, so that the seal device can be inserted so that it will project from the fastening device in a direction which is generally parallel to the edge 52 and away from the zip fastener 47.
  • manipulation of the seal is easy, and, provided that the fixed body 2 is sufficiently withdrawn from the edge 55 of the pouch 46, the seal is considerably protected by the pouch 46 from accidental damage.
  • the aperture 13 need not be located in the position shown; it can be located in any suitable position which will both enable the removal of the broken portion of the seal device retained within cavity 4a after unfastening of the device, and be covered by the movable body 1 when the device is fastened.
  • the aperture 13 could be located in the lower section of the rear wall of the housing 4.
