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, CH-PS 525 813, CH-PS 643 079 und EP-A-O 550 815 bekannt. Sie kommen vorzugsweise bei der Sicherung von Verschlüssen zur Anwendung, deren Schliessteile Oeffnungen aufweisen, die in der Schliesslage mindestens annähernd zur Deckung gebracht werden können, 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 zurückgebogen und in den Kanal des Plombenkörpers eingeführt, wo sich Verfangorgane der Strippe irreversibel in den Sperrorganen im Plombenkörper verfangen, sodass 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, CH-PS 525 813, CH-PS 643 079 and EP-AO 550 815. They are preferably used to secure closures, the closing parts of which have openings which can be made to at least approximately coincide in the closed position, so that the other end of the string anchored on or in the seal body can be passed through these openings. The free end of the string is then bent back and inserted into the channel of the seal body, where catch elements of the string become irreversibly caught in the blocking elements in the seal body, so that the closure 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, for example in the case of bag closures, in particular mail bags, for the sealing of the loading space of vehicles, etc.

Diese bekannten Plomben sind sehr 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. Die stete Verbesserung dieser Plomben hinsichtlich Material und Konstruktion hat es aber mit sich gebracht, dass sie - nach Erfüllung ihres Zweckes - durch die berechtigten Personen immer schwieriger zu öffnen sind. In der Regel sind hierzu Zangen oder andere Werkzeuge erforderlich, z.B. um die Strippe zu durchtrennen und die Plombe dadurch zu öffnen.These known seals are very largely secured against manipulation, i.e. once closed, they can no longer be opened without being damaged or changed, thereby making this manipulation visible. However, the constant improvement of these seals in terms of material and construction has meant that - after fulfilling their purpose - they are becoming increasingly difficult to open by authorized persons. As a rule, pliers or other tools are required, e.g. to cut the string and thereby open the seal.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Schliessplombe der eingangs genannten Gattung so weiterzubilden, dass sie - ohne dass ihre Sicherheit gegen unberufene Manipulationen beinträchtigt wird - nach Gebrauch schnell und einfach, insbesondere auch ohne Werkzeuge geöffnet werden kann, und dabei gleichzeitig für eine weitere Verwendung unbrauchbar gemacht wird.The object of the present invention is to develop a closing seal of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be opened quickly and easily after use, in particular without tools, without compromising its security against unauthorized manipulation, and at the same time for further use is made unusable.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Handschliessplombe mit den Merkmalen des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the manual closing seal with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemässe Ausbildung der Plombe ermöglicht es, sie ohne Werkzeuge oder besondere Kraftanstrengung zu öffnen und gleichzeitig unbrauchbar zu machen. Es genügt hierzu ein leichter Zug am Abreisslappen, der sogleich zum Bruch der hierzu vorgesehenen Sollbruchstellen führt. Der Abreisslappen bleibt, mitsamt seinen an der Verriegelung der Strippe mit. wirkenden oder diese bildenden Sperrorganen, in der Hand der Person, welche die Plombe geöffnet hat. Die Verriegelung der Strippe im Plombenkörper ist dadurch aufgehoben und gleichzeitig zerstört, sodass die Strippe zum Oeffnen der Plombe aus dem Kanal herausgezogen werden kann. Die geöffnete Plombe kann dann ohne besondere Sorgfaltsauflagen entsorgt werden, denn eine Wiederbenützung ist ausgeschlossen.The design of the seal according to the invention makes it possible to open it without tools or special effort and at the same time to render it unusable. All that is required is a slight pull on the tear-off tab, which immediately leads to the breaking of the predetermined breaking points provided for this purpose. The tear-off tab, along with its, remains with the locking of the string. acting or forming blocking organs, in the hand of the person who opened the seal. The locking of the string in the seal body is thereby canceled and at the same time destroyed, so that the string can be pulled out of the channel to open the seal. The opened seal can then be disposed of without special due care, since reuse is impossible.

Der allgemeine Erfindungsgedanke, die Verriegelung einer solchen Handschliessplombe durch Entfernen eines abbrechbaren Teils zu öffnen lässt sich auf vielfältige Art verwirklichen, z.B. gemäss den in den Ansprüchen 2 und 3 gekennzeichneten Weise.The general inventive concept of opening the locking of such a manual closing seal by removing a breakable part can be implemented in a variety of ways, e.g. according to the manner characterized in claims 2 and 3.

Hinsichtlich der Herstellungskosten besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die ganze Plombe gemäss Anspruch 5 als einstückiger Kunststoffspritzling hergestellt ist.With regard to the manufacturing costs, it is particularly advantageous if the entire seal is produced as a one-piece plastic molding.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels mit Bezug auf die beiliegende Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawing. It shows:
Fig. 1
a perspective view of a hand seal according to the invention ready for use before use;
Fig. 2
a plan view of the same seal as it comes as a one-piece plastic molding from the spraying system and before putting together the parts forming the seal body;

Die dargestellte Plombe umfasst als Hauptbestandteile einen geschlossenen Plombenkörper 2, eine biegsame Strippe 1 und einen aus dem Plombenkörper 1 vorragenden Abreisslappen 3.The seal shown comprises as main components a closed seal body 2, a flexible string 1 and a tear-off tab 3 protruding from the seal body 1.

Die ganze Plombe ist als einteiliger Kunststoffspritzling verwirklicht, was eine für einen solchen Massen- und Wegwerfartikel sehr billige Herstellung ermöglicht. Als Material kann zweckmässig, je nach Verwendungszweck, Polyäthylen hoher Dichte oder Nylon verwendet werden. Die biegsame Strippe 1 weist ein leicht konisch zulaufendes freies Ende 4 auf und ist auf mindestens einem Teil ihrer Länge mit feinen, querverlaufenden Rippen 5 versehen, die beim Schliessen der Plombe als Verfangorgane mit den weiter unten näher erläuterten Sperrorganen im Plombenkörper 2 zusammenwirken. Beim Plombieren eines Gegenstandes mit der beschriebenen Plombe wird die Strippe 1 durch eine Oeffnung oder Oeffnungen des zu plombierenden Gegenstands geführt, danach auf den Plombenkörper 2 zurückgebogen und durch einen diesen durchsetzenden Kanal 6 hindurchgezogen. Das Beispiel der Fig. 3 zeigt, wie die beschriebene Plombe zur Sicherung eines Reissverschlusses in dessen Schliesslage eingesetzt ist, um Unberechtigte am Zugang zum Inhalt des durch den Reissverschluss geschlossenen Beutels G zu hindern bzw. dessen Oeffnung sichtbar zu machen.The entire seal is realized as a one-piece plastic injection molding, which enables very cheap manufacture for such a mass and disposable article. The material can be suitably, depending on the intended use, high-density polyethylene or nylon. The flexible string 1 has a slightly tapered free end 4 and is provided on at least part of its length with fine, transverse ribs 5 which, when the seal closes, act as catch elements with the blocking elements in the seal body 2, which are explained in more detail below. When sealing an object with the described seal, the string 1 is guided through an opening or openings of the object to be sealed, then bent back onto the seal body 2 and pulled through a channel 6 passing through it. The example in FIG. 3 shows how the seal described is used to secure a zipper in its closed position in order to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the contents of the bag G closed by the zipper or to make its opening visible.

Zur Fertigmontage der gebrauchsbereiten Plombe gemäss Figur 1 aus dem in Fig. 2 gezeigten Spritzling werden dessen drei, über biegsame Verbindungen, zweckmässig Filmscharniere 7, 8 miteinander verbundenen flachen Teile 9, 10 und 11 harmonikaartig zusammengefaltet und über nicht näher dargestellte Steckverbindungen zur Bildung des geschlossenen Plombenkörpers 2 nach Fig. 1 unlösbar miteinander verbunden. Dabei kommt der mittlere Teil 10 sandwichartig zwischen die Teile 9 und 11 zu liegen. Die schlitzförmigen Oeffnungen in den zuletzt genannten Teilen 9 und 11, die auf den Querschnitt der Strippe 1 abgestimmt sind, decken sich in der gebrauchsfertigen Plombe und bilden die Eintritts- bzw. Austrittsöffnung des den Plombenkörper 2 durchsetzenden Kanals 6. Die in der gebrauchsfertig montierten Plombe ebenfalls in der Achse dieser Oeffnungen liegende Oeffnung im mittleren Teil 10 ist etwas grösser bemessen. In sie ragt das Ende einer Zunge 12, welche durch eine seitliche Oeffnung des Plombenkörpers 2 in diesen eintritt und an ihrem äusseren Ende ausserhalb des Plombenkörpers 2 in den Abreisslappen 3 übergeht. Der in die Kanalöffnung 6 des Teils 10 ragende Teil der Zunge 12 ist U-förmig ausgeschnitten und in die dadurch gebildete Ausnehmung ragt, von der Basis der Ausnehmung aus, federnd ein rechtwinklig nach oben abgebogener Lappen 13. Dieser ist an seinem abgebogenen Ende mit zum Zusammenwirken mit den Verfangorganen der in den Kanal eingeführten Strippe 1 abgestimmten Sperrorganen versehen. Hierzu trägt im dargestellten Beispiel die gegen die Kanalöffnung gerichtete Fläche des Lappens eine oder mehrere querverlaufende Rippen 14 die den Querrippen 5 der Strippe 1 entsprechen. Beim Durchziehen der Strippe 1 durch den Kanal 6 des Plombenkörpers 2 weicht der Lappen 13 federnd aus und erlaubt dadurch den Durchtritt der Strippe 1 in Einführrichtung. Ein Zurückziehen der Strippe 1 aus dem Plombenkörper 2 ist aber nicht mehr möglich, weil sich hierbei der federnde Lappen 12 in den Verfangorganen 5 der Strippe 1 verkrallt und damit im Zusammenwirken mit der gegenüberliegenden Wandung der Kanalöffnung das Sperrorgan bildet.For the final assembly of the ready-to-use seal according to FIG. 1 from the molding shown in FIG. 2, its three flat parts 9, 10 and 11, which are suitably connected via flexible connections, suitably film hinges 7, 8, are folded together like a harmonic and via plug-in connections, not shown, to form the closed one Seal body 2 of Fig. 1 inextricably linked. The middle part 10 comes to lie sandwiched between the parts 9 and 11. The slot-shaped openings in the last-mentioned parts 9 and 11, which are matched to the cross section of the strip 1, coincide in the ready-to-use seal and form the inlet or outlet opening of the channel 6 passing through the seal body 2. The seal in the ready-to-use seal also in the axis of these openings in the middle part 10 is dimensioned somewhat larger. The end of a tongue 12 protrudes into it, which enters the seal body 2 through a lateral opening and merges into the tear-off tabs 3 at its outer end outside the seal body 2. The part of the tongue 12 protruding into the channel opening 6 of the part 10 is cut out in a U-shape and protrudes into the recess formed thereby, from the base of the recess, resiliently a flap 13 bent upwards at a right angle Interact provided with the catch organs of the locking elements introduced into the channel 1. For this purpose, in the example shown, the surface of the flap directed against the channel opening carries one or more transverse ribs 14 which correspond to the transverse ribs 5 of the strip 1. When the strip 1 is pulled through the channel 6 of the seal body 2, the tab 13 deflects resiliently and thereby allows the strip 1 to pass through in the direction of insertion. Retraction of the strip 1 from the seal body 2 is no longer possible, because here the resilient tab 12 claws in the catch elements 5 of the strip 1 and thus forms the blocking element in cooperation with the opposite wall of the channel opening.

Der Abreisslappen 3 mit seiner Zunge 12 und dem von dieser getragenen federnden Lappen 13 ist im Innern des gebrauchsfertig montierten Plombenkörpers 2 nur gerade über Sollbruchstellen 15 mit diesem verbunden. Diese Sollbruchstellen 15 befinden sich im dargestellten Beispiel im Inneren des Plombenkörpers 2 zwischen dem Rand der genannten U-förmigen Ausnehmung und dem benachbarten Teil der Wandung des Kanals im mittleren Teil 10 des Plombenkörpers 2. Beim Ziehen am Abreisslappen im Sinne eines Herausziehens aus dem Plombenkörper 2 brechen diese Sollbruchstellen 15 sofort ab, wodurch die Verbindung zwischen dem Plombenkörper 2 einerseits und dem Abreisslappen 3 mitsamt der Zunge 12 und dem von dieser getragenen Lappen 13 mit den Sperrorganen 14 anderseits, und damit gleichzeitig auch die Verriegelung der Strippe 1 im Plombenkörper 2 wegfällt. Die Strippe 1 kann jetzt ohne weiteres aus dem Kanal 6 gezogen und vom plombierten Gegenstand gelöst werden.The tear-off tab 3 with its tongue 12 and the resilient tab 13 carried by it is only connected to the inside of the ready-to-use seal body 2 via predetermined breaking points 15. In the example shown, these predetermined breaking points 15 are located inside the seal body 2 between the edge of the aforementioned U-shaped recess and the adjacent part of the wall of the channel in the middle part 10 of the seal body 2. When pulling on the tear-off tab in the sense of being pulled out of the seal body 2 break off these predetermined breaking points 15 immediately, as a result of which the connection between the seal body 2 on the one hand and the tear-off tab 3 together with the tongue 12 and the tab 13 carried by it with the locking members 14 on the other hand, and thus at the same time the locking of the strip 1 in the seal body 2 is omitted. The string 1 can now easily be pulled out of the channel 6 and detached from the sealed object.

Um das Erfassen und Halten des Abreisslappens zu erleichtern kann dieser zweckmässig mit Griffhilfen versehen sein, beispielsweise wie bei der dargestellten Ausführung mit einer Oeffnung oder aber auch mit einer Riffelung o.dgl.In order to make it easier to grasp and hold the tear-off tab, it can be expediently provided with gripping aids, for example, as in the embodiment shown, with an opening or else with corrugation or the like.

Claims (5)

  1. Seal, with a closed seal body (2), through which a channel (6) passes, and with locking members projecting into this channel (6) for the irreversible locking of the end, introduced through this channel (6), of a flexible strip (1) provided with engagement members (5), which at the other end is undetachably fastened to or in the seal body (2), characterised in that a tear-off flap (3) projecting from the seal body (2) is provided, which projects by a part (12) through an opening in the seal body (2), into the latter and on this part, inside the seal body (2), supports the locking members (13, 14) or jointly forms the latter, and which is connected to the seal body (2) only directly by way of predetermined breaking points (15) in such a way that when the tear-off flap (3) is pulled, this flap breaks off and in this case irreversibly destroys the locking of the strip and thus releases the trapped end of the strip.
