Abstract

A closed lead body (1) has a channel through it and contains a holder with blocking members for the irreversible retention of one end (22) of a flexible strip (2) of metal which is introduced into this channel. The said strip is secured non-releasably at the other end in the lead body (1). The flexible strip (2) carries a code bearer (3) attached to it in a manner which allows it to be broken off. Both the lead body (1) and the code bearer (3) attached to the strip (2) are provided with the same, unique code (20). The code bearer (3) is attached in a region of the strip (2) which prevents the lead seal from being closed until the code bearer (3) has been removed. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Handschliessplombe nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a manual closing seal according to the preamble of claim 1.

Handschliessplomben dieser Art sind in vielerlei Ausführungen, beispielsweise auch aus den CH-PS 481 444, CM-PS 525 813 und CM-PS 643 079 bekannt Sie kommen bei der Sicherung von Verschlüssen zur Anwendung, bei denen die Schliessteile in der Schliessanlage Oeffnungen aufweisen, die im Schliesszustand der Anlage mindestens annähernd zur Deckung gebracht sind, so dass die einerends am oder im Plombenkörper verankerte Strippe mit ihrem anderen Ende durch diese Oeffnungen durchgeführt werden kann. Danach wird das freie Ende der Strippe in den Kanal des Plombenkörpers eingeführt, wo sich Verfangorgane der Strippe irreversibel in den Sperrorganen verfangen, so dass ein Oeffnen des in dieser Weise plombierten Verschlusses nur unter Zerstörung der Plombe erfolgen kann. Eine solche Absicherung eines Verschlusses ist in vielen Fällen erwünscht oder vorgeschrieben, so z.B. bei Sackverschlüssen, insbesondere bei Postsäcken, für die Plombierung des Laderaumes von Fahrzeugen, usw.Manual locking seals of this type are known in many designs, for example also from CH-PS 481 444, CM-PS 525 813 and CM-PS 643 079. They are used to secure locks in which the locking parts in the locking system have openings, which are at least approximately covered in the closed state of the installation, so that the other end of the string anchored on or in the seal body can be passed through these openings. Then the free end of the string is inserted into the channel of the seal body, where catch elements of the string become irreversibly caught in the blocking members, so that the seal which has been sealed in this way can only be opened by destroying the seal. Such securing of a closure is desired or prescribed in many cases, e.g. for bag closures, especially for mail bags, for sealing the loading space of vehicles, etc.

Diese bekannten Plomben sind selber weitgehend gegen Manipulationen gesichert, d.h. sie können, einmal geschlossen, nicht mehr geöffnet werden, ohne dass sie dabei beschädigt oder verändert werden und dadurch diese Manipulation sichtbar machen. Da es sich aber bei solchen Plomben um ausgesprochene Massenartikel handelt ist es für böswillige Personen nicht unmöglich, sich offene Plomben der gleichen Art zu beschaffen und eine unberechtigt geöffnete Plombe dann durch eine gleiche neue Plombe auszuwechseln um die Manipulation zu kaschieren. Plomben die dies zulassen können hohe Sicherheitsansprüche nicht erfüllen, da damit der Sinn der Plombe unterlaufen wird. Da hilft es auch nicht, dass meist, jedoch unabhängig von der Plombe, Dokumente erstellt werden, welche die plombierten Waren definieren und nach der berechtigten Oeffnung der Plombe eine Kontrolle erlauben. Denn auch diese Papiere lassen sich mit den heutigen Vervielfältigungsverfahren leicht fälschen.These known seals themselves are largely secured against manipulation, ie once closed, they can no longer be opened without being damaged or changed and thereby making this manipulation visible. However, since such seals are pronounced mass articles, it is not impossible for malicious people to obtain open seals of the same type and one then replace the opened seal without authorization with the same new seal to conceal the manipulation. Seals that allow this cannot meet high security requirements, as this undermines the meaning of the seal. It does not help that documents are usually created, however independently of the seal, which define the sealed goods and allow a check after the authorized opening of the seal. Because these papers can also be easily forged with today's duplication processes.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Plombe der eingangs genannten Gattung so zu verbessern, dass sie durch ein unzweideutiges Merkmal als Einzelstück erkennbar ist und daher, wenn sie einmal geschlossen wurde, nicht ausgewechselt werden kann, ohne dass dies feststellbar ist, und die zudem auch weitestgehend gegen andere Manipulationen geschützt ist.The object of the present invention is therefore to improve a seal of the type mentioned in such a way that it can be recognized as an individual item by an unambiguous feature and therefore, once it has been closed, cannot be replaced without this being ascertainable, and the is also largely protected against other manipulations.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Plombe mit den Merkmalen des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a seal with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Dadurch, dass bei der erfindungsgemässen Plombe der Plombenkörper einen einmaligen, unverwechselbaren Code, z.B. eine Nummer und/oder einen Strichcode trägt und an der Strippe, welche zum Verschliessen der Plombe in den Kanal des Plombenkörpers bis hinter die Sperrorgane eingeführt werden muss, ein Codeträger, welcher den identischen Code trägt an einer solchen Stelle entfernbar befestigt ist, dass ein Verschliessen der Plombe nur nach dessen Entfernung überhaupt möglich wird, kann am Empfangsort anhand des abgetrennten, beispielsweise beim Absender verbliebenen Codeträgers unzweideutig festgestellt werden ob es sich bei der vorgefundenen Plombe um die gleiche handelt wie diejenige, welche vom Absender verschlossen wurde. Damit wird der Transporteur, beispielsweise ein Transportunternehmer und insbesondere dessen Fahrer mitverantwortlich für die Unberührtheit des plombierten Guts.As a result of the fact that in the seal according to the invention the seal body bears a unique, unmistakable code, for example a number and / or a bar code, and on the string which has to be inserted into the channel of the seal body as far as behind the locking members in order to close the seal, which carries the identical code removably attached at such a place that the seal can only be closed after it has been removed can be unambiguously determined at the receiving location on the basis of the separated code carrier, for example remaining with the sender, whether the seal found is the one acts the same as the one that was closed by the sender. This means that the transporter, for example a transport operator and, in particular, his driver, shares responsibility for the integrity of the sealed goods.

Eine besonders zweckmässige Ausbildung der erfindungsgemässen Plombe besteht darin, dass die biegsame Strippe durch eine mehrfach gewundene Metalldrahtlitze gebildet ist, deren Windungen auf der ganzen Länge der Strippe Verfangorgane bilden, und dass der im Kanal untergebrachte Halter aus zwei Teilen besteht, welche ihrerseits wiederum zwei von gegenüberliegenden Seiten in den Kanal ragende Federzungen aufweisen, die ein Durchtreten der Strippe beim Schliessen der Plombe erlauben, sich aber beim Versuch, die Strippe wieder zurückzuziehen, in die Strippe verkrallen. Gerade Post und Zoll schätzen oder machen zur Bedingung, dass die Strippe aus einem reissfesten und durch Wärmeeinwirkung nicht manipulierbaren Material, insbesondere Metall besteht.A particularly expedient embodiment of the seal according to the invention consists in that the flexible string is formed by a multiply wound metal wire strand, the windings of which form catch elements along the entire length of the string, and that the holder accommodated in the channel consists of two parts, which in turn are two of have spring tongues projecting into the channel on opposite sides, which allow the string to pass through when the seal is closed, but claw into the string when an attempt is made to pull the string back. Post and customs in particular estimate or make the condition that the string consists of a tear-resistant material, in particular metal, which cannot be manipulated by the action of heat.

Um bei Verwendung einer solchen metallischen Strippe die lösbare Befestigung des Codeträgers einfach zu gestalten ist bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung der Codeträger einstückig mit in Abständen an die Strippe angespritzten Nocken aus Kunststoff hergestellt, wobei die Verbindung vom Codeträger mit den Nocken als Sollbruchstelle ausgebildet ist. Hierbei sind die an die Strippe angespritzten Nocken vorteilhaft kegelförmig, sodass sie beim Versuch, die Strippe aus der geschlossenen Plombe zurückzuziehen, die Federzungen zusätzlich in die Verfangorgane der Litze pressen.In order to make the releasable fastening of the code carrier simple when using such a metallic strip, in a further development of the invention the code carrier is made in one piece with plastic cams which are molded onto the strip at intervals, the connection between the code carrier and the cams being designed as a predetermined breaking point. Here, the cams molded onto the string are advantageously conical, so that when they try to pull the string out of the closed seal, they additionally press the spring tongues into the catch organs of the strand.

Die Ausführung nach Anspruch 5 macht Versuche, die Strippe durch Erwärmen vom Plombenkörper zu lösen, durch die dabei verursachte Beschädigung der Kunststoffschicht sichtbar.The embodiment according to claim 5 makes attempts to detach the stripping by heating from the lead body visible by the damage caused to the plastic layer.

Mit der Ausführung nach Anspruch 6 wird es möglich, den abgelösten Codeträger beispielsweise an ein dem plombierten Gut zugeordnetes Dokument anzuklipsen.With the embodiment according to claim 6, it becomes possible to clip the detached code carrier, for example, onto a document assigned to the sealed product.

Die Ausführung nach Anspruch 7 verunmöglicht ein Oeffnen des Plombenkörpers wenn die Plombe geschlossen ist.The embodiment according to claim 7 makes it impossible to open the seal body when the seal is closed.

Durch die Ausführung nach Anspruch 8 wird der Zugang zu den Sperrorganen im Plombenkörper mittels spitzen Werkzeugen, z.B. Schraubenziehern, Klingen o. dgl. verunmöglicht.Through the embodiment according to claim 8, access to the locking members in the seal body by means of pointed tools, e.g. Screwdrivers, blades or the like are impossible.

Gemäss den Fig. 5 bis 7 ist der Plombenkörper 1 aus einem Topf 4 und einem Deckel 5 gebildet. Oeffnungen 6 in gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Topfs 4 sowie im Topf 4 geformte Rippen 7 und 8 bilden einen Kanal 9 durch den das auf den Topf 4 zurückgebogene freie Ende der Strippe 2 zum Schliessen der Plombe durch den Plombenkörper 1 hindurchgesteckt werden kann wie noch näher erläutert werden wird. Die Rippen 7 und 8 bilden zugleich einen Halter und Anschläge für Sperrorgane 10 in Form zweier Stanzlinge aus Federstahl, welche von gegenüberliegenden Seiten in den Kanal 9 ragende Federzungen 11 aufweisen, die beim Durchstecken der Strippe 2 durch diesen Kanal von rechts in Fig. 5 federnd ausweichen und dadurch das Durchtreten der Strippe 2 erlauben, die sich aber beim Versuch, die Strippe 2 wieder zurückzuziehen, in Verfangorganen der Strippe 2 verkrallen. In den dargestellten Beispielen ist der Kanal 9 als geradlinig von der einen Oeffnung 6 zur anderen verlaufend dargestellt. Eine weitere Sicherheitsmassnahme gegen Manipulationen könnte gemäss einer nicht dargestellten vorteilhaften Ausbildung darin bestehen, diesen Kanal statt geradlinig versetzt, z.B. bogen-, kurven- oder mäanderförmig verlaufen zu lassen. Dadurch könnte die flexible Strippe 2 trotzdem zum Schliessen der Plombe durch den Kanal 9 gesteckt werden, dagegen würde es nicht mehr möglich sein, mit einem spitzen Gegenstand, z.B: einem Schraubenzieher o. dgl. durch die Oeffnungen 6 hindurch zu den Federzungen 11 zu gelangen, im Versuch deren Eingriff in die Strippe 2 zu lösen und dadurch die Strippe 2 zu befreien.5 to 7, the seal body 1 is formed from a pot 4 and a lid 5. Openings 6 in opposite side walls of the pot 4 and ribs formed in the pot 4 7 and 8 form a channel 9 through which the free end of the string 2 bent back onto the pot 4 can be pushed through the seal body 1 to close the seal, as will be explained in more detail below. The ribs 7 and 8 also form a holder and stops for locking members 10 in the form of two die-cuts made of spring steel, which have spring tongues 11 projecting into the channel 9 from opposite sides, which springy when the string 2 is pushed through this channel from the right in FIG. 5 dodge and thereby allow the passage of the stripe 2, which, however, claw in the catch organs of the stripe 2 when trying to pull the string 2 back. In the examples shown, the channel 9 is shown as running straight from one opening 6 to the other. According to an advantageous embodiment (not shown), a further security measure against manipulation could consist in allowing this channel to run in a straight, curved, or meandering manner instead of in a straight line. As a result, the flexible strip 2 could nevertheless be inserted through the channel 9 to close the seal, whereas it would no longer be possible to use a pointed object, for example: a screwdriver or the like, to reach the spring tongues 11 through the openings 6 , in an attempt to loosen their engagement in the string 2 and thereby free the string 2.

Im Topf 4 sind ausserdem Hohlzapfen 12 geformt zur Aufnahme von Nieten 13, mittels welchen nach dem Einsetzen der Sperrorgane 10 bei der Montage der Plombe der Deckel 5, welcher passenden Oeffnungen für die Mieten 13 aufweist, unlösbar mit dem Topf 4 verbunden und der Plombenkörper 1 dadurch verschlossen werden kann. Vorteilhaft wird dabei die Anordnung so getroffen, dass die Köpfe der Mieten 13 im Deckel 5 versenkt werden, damit Manipulationen durch einfaches Abscheren der Nietköpfe verhindert werden können.In the pot 4 there are also shaped hollow pins 12 for receiving rivets 13, by means of which after the insertion of the locking members 10 during the assembly of the seal, the cover 5, which has suitable openings for the rents 13, is inseparably connected to the pot 4 and the seal body 1 can be closed thereby. The arrangement is advantageously made such that the heads of the rents 13 are sunk in the cover 5 so that manipulations can be prevented by simply shearing off the rivet heads.

Gemäss einer nicht dargestellten Variante könnten Deckel 5 und Topf 4 zusätzlich miteinander verschweisst sein um mindestens eine wasserdichte Kammer im Plombenkörper 1 zu schaffen, die elektronische Sicherheitsgeräte, z.B. Chips oder Minisender aufnehmen könnte.According to a variant, not shown, the lid 5 and pot 4 could additionally be welded to one another in order to create at least one watertight chamber in the seal body 1, which contains electronic security devices, e.g. Could record chips or mini transmitters.

Der Deckel 5 weist ausserdem, wie Fig. 7 zeigt, an seiner Innenseite einen durchbohrten Vorsprung 14 auf. Diese Bohrung ragt bei geschlossenem Plombenkörper 1 zwischen den beiden Sperrorganen 10 in den Kanal 9, sodass die beim Schliessen der Plombe durch den Kanal 9 gesteckte Strippe 2 auch diese Bohrung durchsetzt und dadurch verhindert, dass bei geschlossener Plombe der Plombenkörper 1 durch Lösen des Deckels 5 zwecks Vornahme unberechtigter Manipulationen geöffnet werden kann.The lid 5 also has, as shown in FIG. 7, a perforated projection 14 on its inside. When the seal body 1 is closed, this hole projects into the channel 9 between the two locking members 10, so that the strip 2 inserted through the channel 9 when the seal is closed also penetrates this hole and thereby prevents the seal body 1 from closing when the seal is closed by loosening the cover 5 can be opened for the purpose of unauthorized manipulation.

Im Innern des Deckels 5 ist auch das eine Ende der Strippe 2 unlösbar verankert und zwar, wie Fig. 8 zeigt, derart, dass beim Aufsetzen des Deckels 5 auf den Topf 4 das verankerte Ende 15 der Strippe 2 durch einen Vorsprung 16 verbogen wird, was eine weitere Sicherheit gegen unberechtigte Manipulationen darstellt.In the interior of the cover 5, one end of the string 2 is also permanently anchored, specifically as shown in FIG. 8, such that when the cover 5 is placed on the pot 4, the anchored end 15 of the string 2 is bent by a projection 16. which represents a further security against unauthorized manipulation.

Die Strippe 2 ist durch eine mehrfach gewundene Metalldrahtlitze 17 gebildet, deren Windungen auf der ganzen Länge der Strippe 2 Verfangorgane für die Sperrorgane 10 im Plombenkörper 1 bilden. In Abständen sind an die Metalldrahtlitze 17 Nocken 18 aus Kunststoff angespritzt. Diese Nocken 18 dienen der zusätzlichen Führung der Strippe 2 durch den Kanal 9 im Plombenkörper 1. Sie sind kegelförmig und beim Versuch eine einmal hinter die Sperrorgane 10 durchgesteckte Strippe 2 wieder zurückzuziehen pressen sie die Federzungen 11 der Sperrorgane 10 noch zusätzlich in die Litze 17. Um das Ein- und Durchführen der Strippe 2 durch den Kanal 9 des Plombenkörpers 1 beim Schliessen der Plombe zu erleichtern ist ihr freies Ende 22 durch eine Ueberspritzung oder dgl. versteift. Im Teilstück der Strippe 2 zwischen ihrem Austritt aus dem Plombenkörper 1 und, im dargestelltn Beispiel, dem ersten Nocken 18 ist die Metalldrahtlitze 17 mit einer Kunststoffschicht 19 als weitere Massnahme zur Manipulationsanzeige überspritzt. Diese Kunststoffschicht 19 wird bei einem Versuch, die Metalldrahtlitze 17 durch Erhitzen aus ihrer Verankerung im Plombenkörper 1 zu lösen, unweigerlich beschädigt und macht dadurch auch eine solche erfolglose Manipulation sichtbar.The strip 2 is formed by a metal wire strand 17 which is wound several times and whose windings form catch elements for the locking elements 10 in the seal body 1 over the entire length of the strip. At intervals 17 plastic cams 18 are molded onto the metal wire strand. These cams 18 are used for the additional guiding of the strip 2 through the channel 9 in the seal body 1. They are conical and when trying to pull a strip 2 which has been inserted once behind the locking members 10, they additionally press the spring tongues 11 of the locking members 10 into the stranded wire 17. In order to facilitate the insertion and passage of the string 2 through the channel 9 of the seal body 1 when the seal is closed, its free end 22 is stiffened by an overmolding or the like. In the section of the Strip 2 between its exit from the seal body 1 and, in the example shown, the first cam 18, the metal wire strand 17 is overmolded with a plastic layer 19 as a further measure for indicating manipulation. This plastic layer 19 is inevitably damaged in an attempt to detach the metal wire strand 17 by heating it from its anchoring in the lead body 1 and thereby also makes such unsuccessful manipulation visible.

Der Plombenkörper 1, im vorliegenden Beispiel die Aussenseite des Deckels 4, ist mit einem Code 20 versehen, hier beispielsweise durch eine Zahl und einen Strichcode gebilet, die zweckmässig bereits bei der Herstellung dieses Plombenteils aufgeprägt oder aufgedruckt werden. Der identische, ansonsten aber einmalige Code 20 ist auch auf dem Codeträger 3 angebracht. Dieser ist einstückig mit einigen, der an die Metalldrahtlitze 17 angespritzten Nocken 18 hergestellt, wobei die Verbindungsstellen zwischen dem Codeträger 3 und den Nocken 18 als Sollbruchstellen 21 ausgebildet sind. Der Codeträger 3 ist also leicht abbrechbar an der Strippe 2 befestigt und, wie die Fig. 1 bis 3 zeigen, ist dieser Codeträger 3 in einem solchen Bereich der Strippe 2 angebracht, dass die Strippe 2 erst nach Entfernen des Codeträgers 3 so gebogen werden kann wie dies für ihre Schliessung, d.h. für das Einstecken ihres freien Endes 22 in den Kanal 9 im Plombenkörper 1 erforderlich ist.The seal body 1, in the present example the outside of the cover 4, is provided with a code 20, here for example formed by a number and a bar code, which are expediently embossed or printed on during the manufacture of this seal part. The identical, but otherwise unique code 20 is also attached to the code carrier 3. This is made in one piece with some of the cams 18 molded onto the metal wire strand 17, the connection points between the code carrier 3 and the cams 18 being designed as predetermined breaking points 21. The code carrier 3 is thus attached to the stripe 2 in an easily breakable manner, and, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this code carrier 3 is attached in such an area of the stripe 2 that the stripe 2 can only be bent in such a way after the code carrier 3 has been removed like this for their closure, ie is necessary for inserting its free end 22 into the channel 9 in the seal body 1.

Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass ein Verschliessen der Plombe nur nach Entfernung des Codeträgers 3 überhaupt möglich wird, und es kann am Empfangsort bei einer vermuteten unberechtigten Manipulation anhand des abgetrennten, beispielsweise beim Absender verbliebenen Codeträgers unzweideutig nicht nur festgestellt werden ob die Plombe manipuliert wurde sondern auch und insbesondere, ob es sich bei der vorgefundenen Plombe um die gleiche handelt wie diejenige, welche vom Absender verschlossen wurde. Damit wird der Transporteur, beispielsweise ein Transportunternehmer und insbesondere dessen Fahrer mitverantwortlich für die Unberührtheit des plombierten Guts.This ensures that the seal can only be closed after removal of the code carrier 3, and it can be unambiguously determined not only whether the seal has been tampered with but also at the point of reception in the event of suspected unauthorized manipulation based on the separated code carrier, for example remaining with the sender and in particular whether the seal found is the same as the one that was closed by the sender. This means that the transporter, for example a transport operator and, in particular, his driver, shares responsibility for the integrity of the sealed goods.

Wie aus den Fig. 1 und 4 erkennbar ist der abbrechbar an der Strippe 2 befestigte Codeträger 3 hier als klappbare Plakette mit einem vorgeformtem Scharnier 23, zweckmässig einem Filmscharnier und Schnappverschlussteilen 24 ausgebildet. Nach seiner Ablösung von der Strippe 2 kann ein solcher Codeträger 3 wie die Fig. 4 zeigt wie ein Clip durch zusammenklappen an einem Schriftstück befestigt werden, das beispielweise das Kennzeichen und die Route des Transportfahrzeugs mit dem plombierten Gut, das Datum der Plombierung und den Namen des Verantwortlichen für den Transport festhält und am Absendeort verbleibt. Wird bei der Abnahme der plombierten Ware am Ankunftsort ein Betrug oder eine Manipulation, z.B. ein Austausch der Plombe vermutet, lässt sich dies durch einen Vergleich mit dem am Absendeort verbliebenen Codeträger 3 und Schriftstück sogleich verifizieren.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 4, the code carrier 3, which can be broken off on the string 2, is designed here as a foldable badge with a preformed hinge 23, expediently a film hinge and snap closure parts 24. After detaching it from the string 2, such a code carrier 3 as shown in FIG. 4 can be fastened by folding it like a clip to a document which, for example, shows the registration number and the route of the transport vehicle with the sealed item, the date of the sealing and the name of the person responsible for the transport and remains at the place of dispatch. If fraud or manipulation, e.g. If an exchange of the seal is suspected, this can be verified immediately by a comparison with the code carrier 3 and document remaining at the sending location.
