Abstract

The lead body (6) contains a separate continuous duct (14,15) for each of the two parallel arms (2,3) of the loop. The edge parts of the lead body are deformed to form a sleeve in which the loop arms can slide lengthwise and are each enclosed. Both ducts contain locking elements (10) allowing the lead body to move along the loop arms in one direction, and preventing them moving in the opposite direction. The free ends of the two arms are fixed to a flat or three-dimensional information carrier (1). The lead body is formed by bending two slide flaps of a rectangular piece to form a ridge (9) separating a hollow cavity into the two ducts.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schiebeplombe nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a sliding seal according to the preamble of claim 1.

Plomben dieser Art kommen vor allem zur Kennzeichnung von Gegenständen zur Anwendung, bei denen sich irgendwo eine Schlaufe einhängen (z.B. an einem Knopf eines Kleidungsstückes) oder durchziehen lässt (z.B. bei Knopflöchern oder bei Waren mit Ringen oder Oesen). Auch kleinere Gegenstände, insbesondere Schmuckwaren aber auch Brillengestelle eignen sich zur Kennzeichnung mittels einer solchen Plombe.Seals of this type are used primarily to identify objects for applications where a loop is hanging somewhere (e.g. on a button on a piece of clothing) or pulling it through (e.g. at Buttonholes or for goods with rings or eyelets). Even smaller items, jewelry, but also glasses frames are particularly suitable for identification by means of such a seal.

Bekannt sind körperliche Marken, Etiketts oder Gütesiegel dieser Art, bei denen die Schlaufe mit ihren Schenkelenden parallellaufend nebeneinander am Etikett fixiert bzw. im Marken- oder Siegelkörper verankert, beispielsweise wenn letzterer aus Kunststoff besteht, in diesen eingegossen sind. Hierbei dient das Etikett bzw. der Marken- oder Siegelkörper als Informationsträger. Nachteilig ist hierbei, dass die Schlaufe in ihrer Länge unveränderlich ist und auch ziemlich lang sein muss, um ein Durchstossen des Etiketts bzw. des Marken- oder Siegelkörpers beim Anschlaufen zu ermöglichen. Besonders unangenehm ist aber, dass solche Marken, Etiketts oder Gütesiegel ohne weiteres wieder vom Gegenstand gelöst und an einem anderen Gegenstand wieder in gleicher Weise befestigt werden können, was Manipulationen durch Unbefugte, beispielsweise das Vertauschen von Preisetiketts Tür und Tor öffnet. Physical brands, labels or seals of quality of this type are known from which the loop with their thigh ends running in parallel next to each other fixed to the label or anchored in the brand or seal body, for example if the latter is made of plastic, are poured into this. The label or the brand or seal body serves as an information carrier. The disadvantage here is that the length of the loop cannot be changed is and also has to be quite long to penetrate the To enable labels or the brand or seal body when looping. But it is particularly unpleasant that such brands, labels or Seal of approval easily removed from the object and on one other object can be attached in the same way what Tampering by unauthorized persons, for example swapping price labels The door and gate opens.

Zur Behebung dieser Nachteile sind körperliche Kennzeichnungsmittel bekannt geworden, bei denen die Länge der Schlaufe verstellbar ist. Nach der FR-PS 82 11 437 beispielsweise, ist hierzu das Ende des einen Schlaufenschenkels fest in einem Plombenkörper verankert und dieser weist einen Kanal auf, in welchen nach dem Anschlaufen oder Einhängen der Marke am auszuzeichnenden Gegenstand und Wahl der gewünschten Schlaufenlänge der andere Schlaufenschenkel unverschiebbar oder mit Reibungshaftung im Plombenkörper eingeklemmt werden kann.Physical markers are known to overcome these drawbacks in which the length of the loop is adjustable. After FR-PS 82 11 437, for example, is the end of a loop leg firmly anchored in a seal body and this has one Channel in which after the brand has been looped in or hung on object to be marked and choice of the desired loop length the other loop leg is immovable or with friction adhesion in the Seal body can be pinched.

Eine ähnliche Lösung zeigt die in der CH-PS 559 401 beschriebene Plombe, bei welcher die Länge der Schlaufe dadurch verstellbar ist, dass einer oder beide Schenkel der Schlaufe mit so satter Reibung in einem Kanal des Plombenkörpers verschiebbar geführt sind, dass dieser Schenkel bzw. diese Schenkel sich nur unter Einwirkung einer Kraft verschieben lassen.Nach dem Anschlaufen oder Einhängen kann, durch Ziehen an einem bzw. beiden vom Plombenkörper vorstehenden Schlaufenenden, die Schlaufe auf das gewünschte Mass verkürzt werden, beispielsweise bis der Plombenkörper unmittelbar am ausgezeichneten Gegenstand anliegt.The seal described in CH-PS 559 401 shows a similar solution, in which the length of the loop is adjustable by one or both legs of the loop with such a rich friction in a channel of the seal body are guided so that this leg or this Legs can only be moved under the influence of a force Can be looped or hooked in by pulling on one or both of the Seal body protruding loop ends, the loop to the desired Measure be shortened, for example until the seal body immediately lies against the excellent object.

Eine weitere ähnliche Lösung zeigt ebenfalls die in DE-U-68 06 832 beschriebene Plombe, bei welcher beide Schenkel der Schlaufe im Plombenkörper verschiebbar ausgebildet sein können.Another similar solution is also shown in DE-U-68 06 832 Seal, in which both legs of the loop are displaceable in the seal body can be trained.

Die vorgängig genannten bekannten Lösungen lassen sich aber, ebenso wie die zuerst genannte bekannte Lösung, durch Vergrösserung der Schlaufe wieder vom Gegenstand lösen und an einem anderen Gegenstand wieder anbringen, wenn nicht zusätzliche Massnahmen getroffen werden, um dies zu verhindem. Solche Massnahmen können beispielsweise darin bestehen, dass die nach Anbringen der Plombe aus dem Plombenkörper noch vorstehenden freien Schenkelenden möglichst nahe am Plombenkörper gekappt oder abgebrannt werden. Erst dann lässt sich die Plombe nicht mehr unbefugterweise ohne sichtbare Spuren entfernen, da hierzu entweder die Schlaufe durchgeschnitten werden muss oder beim Ziehen am PLombenkörper das eine oder beide Enden des Schlaufenmaterials aus dem Plombenkörper gezogen und nicht mehr eingefädelt werden können. However, the known solutions mentioned above can also be used like the first known solution, by enlarging the loop detach from the object and attach it to another object, unless additional measures are taken to do this prevent. Such measures can consist, for example, of that the protruding from the seal body after attaching the seal free leg ends as close as possible to the seal body or burned down. Only then can the seal no longer be unauthorized Remove without visible traces, since either the loop must be cut or when pulling the seal body pulled one or both ends of the loop material from the seal body and can no longer be threaded.

Die eben beschriebenen Lösungen nach der FR-PS 82 11 437 und CH-PS 559 401 lassen sich aber nur unter Verwendung eines in der Herstellung vergleichweise aufwendigen körperlichen Plombenkörpers realisieren. Ein gesichertes Anbringen einer flächigen Marken, beispielsweise eines Etiketts o.ä. lässt sich mit diesen bekannten Plomben nicht bewerkstelligen. Ausserdem ist das zur Sicherung erforderliche Entfernen der vorstehenden Schlaufenenden nachdem die Plombe am auszustattenden Gegenstand angebracht wurde zeitraubend und oft mühselig und es kann hierbei leicht zu Beschädigungen des "plombierten" Gegenstandes kommen. Schliesslich ist es auch mit den Lösungen gemäss den erwähnten Druckschriften nicht möglich bestehende Marken, Etiketts oder Gütesiegel mit Schlaufen fixer Länge so umzurüsten, dass sie mit Plombeneffekt an Gegenständen angebracht werden können.The solutions just described according to FR-PS 82 11 437 and CH-PS 559 401 can only be compared using one in the manufacture realize complex physical seal body. A secure one Apply a flat mark, for example a label or similar cannot be accomplished with these known seals. Moreover is the removal of the protruding loop ends required for securing after the seal is attached to the item to be equipped became time consuming and often tedious and it can easily be damaged of the "sealed" item. After all, it is not possible with the solutions according to the mentioned publications To convert brands, labels or seals of quality with loops of fixed length that they are attached to objects with a seal effect can.

Hier greift nun die vorliegenden Erfindung ein. Sie löst die Aufgabe, eine Schiebeplombe der eingangs genannten Gattung zu schaffen, welche unter Vermeidung der Nachteile bekannter Ausführungen nicht nur sehr einfach und billig, beispielsweise in einem Stanz- und Biege- oder Pressvorgang herstellbar ist, sondern mit welcher auch mit einer Handbewegung eine mit der Plombe versehene, und über die Schlaufe am Produkt befestigte körperliche Marken, Etiketts oder Gütesiegel mit ausreichender Sicherheit vor böswilligen Manipulationen "plombiert" werden kann, wobei auch bereits bestehende oder in einem getrennten Arbeitsgang hergestellte körperliche Marken, Gütesiegel oder Etiketts mit daran fest verankerter Schlaufe fixer Länge nachträglich umgerüstet werden können.This is where the present invention intervenes. It solves the problem, one To create sliding seal of the type mentioned, which under Avoiding the disadvantages of known designs is not only very simple and cheap, for example in a stamping and bending or pressing process but with which also with a hand movement one with the Sealed physical and attached to the product via the loop Brands, labels or seals of approval with sufficient security against malicious ones Manipulations can be "sealed", including existing ones or physical brands, seals of quality produced in a separate operation or labels with loops of fixed length that are firmly anchored to them can be converted.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Schiebeplombe mit den Merkmalen des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This task is accomplished by a sliding seal with the characteristics of the license plate of claim 1 solved.

Eine solche Plombe lässt sich mit einer Schlaufenlänge herstellen, die ein Anschlaufen an den auszustattenden Gegenstand ohne weiteres ermöglicht. Danach genügt es, durch Verschieben des Plombenkörpers entlang den von ihm umschlossenen Schlaufenschenkeln in Richtung auf den Schlaufenbogen hin die Schlaufe zu verkleinern bzw. zu verkürzen, bis der Plombenkörper unmittelbar am Gegenstand anliegt. Da sich der Plombenkörper nicht mehr zurückschieben lässt, kann die Plombe nur noch durch Aufschneiden der Schlaufe oder Zerstören des Plombenkörpers entfernt werden, beides Manipulationen, die sofort erkennbar sind.Such a seal can be made with a loop length that a Loops easily to the object to be equipped. Then it is sufficient to move the seal body along the from loop legs enclosed in the direction of the loop bow to reduce or shorten the loop until the seal body lies directly on the object. Since the seal body is no longer can be pushed back, the seal can only be cut open Loop or destroy the seal body, both Manipulations that are immediately recognizable.

In den unabhängigen Ansprüchen sind besonders kostengünstig herstellbare Plombenkörper angegeben.In the independent claims are particularly inexpensive to manufacture Seal body specified.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 der Zeichnung zeigen eine Plombe mit einem Informationsträger 1, mit welchem die Enden der Schenkel 2, 3 einer allgemein mit 4 bezeichneten Schlaufe aus flexiblem, fadenförmigen Material parallellaufend unlösbar verbunden sind. Im Beispiel der Fig. 1 ist der Informationsträger 1 eine körperliche Marke aus Aluminium und Karton, in welcher die Enden der Schlaufe 4 verankert, z.B. bei der Herstellung der Marke eingeklemmt sind. Statt an einer solchen Marke könnte die Schlaufe 4 auch in eine körperliche Marke auf Kunststoff eingegossen sein oder, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, an einem flächigen Etikett unlösbar befestigt sein. Die Schlaufe 4 selbst kann, wie es in der Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, aus einem abgelängten Abschnitt eines fadenförmigen textilen Materials, z.B. aus einem Stück Kordel, geformt sein. Sie kann aber auch dadurch hergestellt sein, dass zwei parallel verlaufende Kordelstücke an ihrem einen Ende z.B. durch Verknoten, Verkleben oder Verbinden mittels eines Clips untrennbar miteinander verbunden werden, was eine kontinuierliche und automatisierte Herstellung erlaubt. Die in der Fig. 1 dargestellte Plombe ist beispielsweise mit einer solchen Schlaufe versehen.Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing show a seal with an information carrier 1, with which the ends of the legs 2, 3 are generally 4 designated loop made of flexible, thread-like material running in parallel are inextricably linked. In the example in FIG. 1, the information carrier 1 a physical brand made of aluminum and cardboard, in which the ends of the Loop 4 anchored, e.g. are caught in the manufacture of the brand. Instead of such a mark, the loop 4 could also be a physical one Brand cast on plastic or, as shown in Fig. 2, on one flat label to be permanently attached. The loop 4 itself can, as in 1 is shown, from a cut section of a thread-like textile material, e.g. be formed from a piece of cord. she can but also be produced in that two parallel cord pieces at one end e.g. by knotting, gluing or connecting be inseparably connected by means of a clip, which is a continuous and automated manufacturing allowed. The one shown in FIG. 1 Sealing is provided with such a loop, for example.

Zwischen dem Informationsträger 1 und dem Schlaufenbogen 5 ist ein allgemein mit 6 bezeichneter Plombenkörper angeordnet, welcher die beiden Schlaufenschenkel 2, 3 parallellaufend satt, jedoch längsverschiebbar, umschliesst.A general is between the information carrier 1 and the loop bow 5 arranged with 6 designated seal body, the two Loop legs 2, 3 parallel running full, but slidable, encloses.

Wie die Fig. 3 bis 6 erkennen lassen, ist dieser Plombenkörper 6 ein durch Einbiegen zweier seitlicher Lappen 7, 8 eines etwa rechteckigen Zuschnitts entstandenes hülsenförmiges Gebilde mit zwei Kanälen 14 und 15 zur Aufnahme der Schlaufenschenkel 2 bzw. 3. Hierzu ist im mittleren Teil des ursprünglichen Zuschnitts eine Rippe 9 geformt. Der Querschnitt dieses hülsenförmigen Gebildes ist aus den Fig. 4f und 6 ersichtlich. In jedem der beiden seitlichen Lappen 7, 8 ist eine Zunge 10 ausgeschnitten und schräg in den jeweiligen Hülsenkanal 14 bzw. 15 ragend abgebogen. Die freien Enden der Zungen 10, welche in die beiden Kanäle 14, 15 des Plombenkörpers 6 ragen, sind zweckmässig spitz zulaufend geformt. 3 to 6, this seal body 6 is a through Bending two side tabs 7, 8 of an approximately rectangular blank created sleeve-shaped structure with two channels 14 and 15 for receiving the loop leg 2 or 3. This is in the middle part of the original Cut a rib 9 shaped. The cross section of this sleeve-shaped The structure can be seen from FIGS. 4f and 6. In each of the a tongue 10 is cut out and obliquely in both lateral tabs 7, 8 the respective sleeve channel 14 or 15 bent protruding. The free ends of the tongues 10, which in the two channels 14, 15 of the seal body 6th protrude, are appropriately tapered.

Ein solcher Plombenkörper 6 lässt sich leicht und billig als Stanzteil, vorzugsweise aus rostbeständigem Material sehr hoher Festigkeit herstellen, und durch einen Biege- oder Pressvorgang um die parallel verlaufend in die Känale 14, 15 eingelegten Schenkel 2, 3 einer aus einer Kordel aus faserigem Material gebildeten Schlaufe biegen. Die Befestigung an der Schlaufe erfolgt dabei zweckmässig mit den Enden der Zungen 10 gegen den Informationsträger 1 gerichtet möglichst nahe am Informationsträger 1, sodass die Schlaufe 4 die grösstmögliche Oeffnung aufweist.Such a seal body 6 can be easily and inexpensively as a stamped part, preferably manufacture from rust-resistant material of very high strength, and by a bending or pressing process around the parallel in the Channels 14, 15 inlaid legs 2, 3 one of a string of fibrous Bend the loop formed. The attachment to the loop expediently takes place with the ends of the tongues 10 against the information carrier 1 directed as close as possible to the information carrier 1, so that the Loop 4 has the largest possible opening.

Eine vorteilhafte Folge der verschiedenen Stanz- und Biegevorgänge bei der Herstellung des Plombenkörpers ist in den Fig. 4a bis 4f und 5, 6 veranschaulicht. Danach werden in in einem kontinuierlichen Verfahren aus einem Band (nicht dargestellt) zunächst etwa rechteckige Zuschnitte und an den entsprechenden Stellen die beiden Zungen 10 ausgestanzt (Fig. 4a und 4b). Im nun folgenden Biege- oder Pressvorgang wird zunächst im Mittelteil des Stanzlings die Rippe 9 geformt (Fig. 4c) und die seitlichen Lappen 7 und 8 bis in die Lage gemäss Fig. 4e und Fig. 5 umgebogen. In diesem Zeitpunkt können nun, ebenfalls in einem kontinuierlichen Arbeitsgang, die Schlaufenschenkel 2, 3 einer an einem Informationsträger befestigten Schlaufe 4 je in einen der so gebildeten Kanäle 14 und 15 eingelegt werden, worauf dann in einem abschliessenden Biege- oder Pressvorgang der Plombenkörper 6 um die Schlaufenschenkel 2,3 geschlossen wird. (Fig. 4f und Fig. 6). Der letztgenannte Schliessvorgang der vorgestanzten und vorgebogenen Stanzlinge kann auch, z.B. zum nachträglichen Ausrüsten einer Plomber mit unveränderlicher Schlaufenlänge, mittels eines geeigneten Crimpwerkzeuges erfolgen.An advantageous consequence of the various punching and bending processes at Production of the seal body is illustrated in FIGS. 4a to 4f and 5, 6. After that, in a continuous process from one Band (not shown) initially approximately rectangular blanks and on the corresponding locations, the two tongues 10 are punched out (FIGS. 4a and 4b). In the following bending or pressing process, the middle part of the The rib 9 is stamped (FIG. 4c) and the side tabs 7 and 8 are formed bent into the position according to FIGS. 4e and 5. At this time can now, also in a continuous operation, the loop legs 2, 3 of a loop 4 attached to an information carrier, each in one of the channels 14 and 15 thus formed are inserted, whereupon in a final bending or pressing process of the seal body 6 the loop leg 2, 3 is closed. (Fig. 4f and Fig. 6). The latter Closing process of the pre-punched and pre-bent die-cuts can also, e.g. for retrofitting a sealer with a fixed one Loop length, using a suitable crimping tool.

Wie die beschriebene Plombe an einem damit auszustattenden Produkt befestigt wird, veranschaulichen rein beispielsweise die Fig. 7 und 8. Dieses Produkt muss natürlich irgendeine Oese oder ein Loch zum Durchziehen der Schlaufe 4 oder ein stabförmiges Element oder einen Knopf zur Aufnahme der Schlaufe 4 aufweisen. Soll die Plombe am Knopfloch eines Kleidungsstückes, z.B. eines Hemdes wie in Fig. 8 gezeigt oder an einem Ring angebracht werden, wird zuerst die Schlaufe 4 durch das Knopfloch oder den Ring hindurchgezogen. Hierauf zieht man die körperliche Marke 1 oder das an der Schlaufe befestigte Etikett durch die Schlaufe hindurch, sodass am Knopfloch oder am Ring ein Macramé-Knoten 12 entsteht. Nun wird der Plombenkörper 6 bis unmittelbar an den Knoten 12 verschoben. Die fedemden Zungen 10 gleiten hierbei auf dem Schlaufenmaterial der beiden Schlaufenschenkel 2, 3 in den Kanälen 14, 15 des Plombenkörpers 6, ohne diese Verschiebung merklich zu behindern. Ist der Plombenkörper 6 aber einmal in diese Endlage verschoben, lässt er sich nicht mehr zurückschieben, weil bei jedem Versuch hierzu die als Sperrorgane wirkenden Zungen 10 mit ihrem freien Ende in das Material der Schlaufe 4 eindringen und jegliche Verschiebung verunmöglichen.How the seal described attached to a product to be equipped with it 7 and 8, for example Of course, the product must have some eyelet or a hole to pull it through Loop 4 or a rod-shaped element or a button for recording have the loop 4. If the seal on the buttonhole of a garment, e.g. a shirt as shown in Fig. 8 or attached to a ring the loop 4 is first through the buttonhole or the ring pulled through. Then you draw the physical mark 1 or that on the Loop attached label through the loop so that on the buttonhole or a macramé knot 12 is formed on the ring. Now the seal body 6 to immediately moved to node 12. The feathered Tongues 10 slide here on the loop material of the two loop legs 2, 3 in the channels 14, 15 of the seal body 6, without this displacement to hinder noticeably. But the seal body 6 once in moved this end position, it can no longer be pushed back because at every attempt to do this, the tongues 10 acting as locking members with their free end penetrate into the material of the loop 4 and any displacement render impossible.

Die Fig. 7 veranschaulicht die Anbringung einer Plombe der beschriebenen Art als Kennzeichnungsmittel an einem Brillengestell. Da hier der Knoten 12 an der Verengung beim Schamier angezogen werden kann, lässt sich auch bei dieser Anwendung eine Plombe, einmal angebracht, nicht mehr entfernen und wieder anbringen.Fig. 7 illustrates the attachment of a seal of the described Kind as a means of identification on a spectacle frame. Since node 12 here can also be tightened at the narrowing of the hinge in this application do not remove a seal once it has been attached and reattach.

Selbstverständlich ist es auch denkbar, den Plombenkörper 6 statt wie im dargestellten Beispiel mit nur einer Zunge pro Kanal, auch mit mehreren, in jeden Kanal ragenden federnden Zungen zu versehen. In der Regel wird aber die dargestellte einfache Ausführung bereits alle gestellten Sicherheitsanforderungen erfüllen.Of course, it is also conceivable that the seal body 6 instead of as in shown example with only one tongue per channel, also with several, in to provide resilient tongues protruding from each channel. As a rule, however the simple design shown already meets all safety requirements fulfill.

Claims (5)

  1. Sliding seal with a loop (4) of flexible, thread-like material, whereof the two sides (2, 3) pass through a seal body (6) and then are anchored on a flat or solid information carrier (1), in which case in the seal body (6), for each of the two parallel sides (2, 3) of the loop (4), a separate, continuous channel (14, 15) is formed, in which the inserted sides (2, 3) of the loop are enclosed by deforming edge parts (7, 8) of the seal body to form a sleeve in each case deep in their channel, but in a longitudinally displaceable manner, characterized in that locking members (10) located in the seal body (6) and projecting into both channels (14, 15) allow a displacement of the seal body (6) along the sides (2, 3) of the loop in one direction, but prevent a displacement thereof in the opposite direction, by catching in the loop material.
  2. Sliding seal according to Claim 1, characterized in that the free ends of the two sides (2, 3) of the loop are undetachably anchored on a flat or solid information carrier 1 and the seal body (6) is located between the information carrier and the curve (5) of the loop and is displaceable solely in the direction of the curve (5) of the loop.
  3. Sliding seal according to Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the seal body (6) is a sleeve-like structure produced by bending-in two side flaps (7, 8) of an approximately rectangular blank with a rib (9), in which structure the rib (9) forms the separation of the cavity into the two channels (14, 15) for the sides (2, 3) of the loop and from the two bent-back flaps (7, 8) of which the locking members (10) project into the inside directed towards the channels (14, 15).
  4. Sliding seal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the seal body (6) is a stamped member produced from a strip by a stamping and bending or pressing operation.
  5. Sliding seal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the locking members are formed by resilient tongues (10) cut out of the seal body (6) and in the case of a sleeve-like structure deformed in the shape of a sleeve around the sides (2, 3) of the loop inserted in the channels (14, 15), project into each channel, inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis.
