Definitions

• PIGS - No plaque but indication of source, number of livestock, name of reel hit at the entrance to the slaughterhouse.
• buffers are affixed to the carcass but these without however completely disappearing are difficult to read after treatment, in particular for hams. No possibility for the consumer to know quickly by simple reading the origin of the product.
• the labeling provisions aim to inform and protect the consumer.
• the latter must be able to read at any time all the compulsory information provided, not only at the time of purchase but also at the time of consumption.
• the end consumer is not necessarily the one who made the purchase.
• the labeling covers both the label in the strict sense appearing on the product packaging but also any document accompanying or referring to this product.
• the object of the present invention relates to a tamper-evident label holder bracelet making it possible to follow the trace of the product from the origin of the installation until the time of its removal, furthermore altering the product to which it is subject in the event of an attempt to opening or sectioning.
• the bracelet placed by the producer through the product can only be removed by the professional or the customer, depending on whether it is a carcass, a quarter or a poultry.
• the assembly produced with a relatively flexible material consists of a label support and a tubular bracelet with locking clasp. The whole constituting a monobloc assembly.
• the label can either be threaded onto the bracelet or be an integral part thereof.
• the label holder or label of shape and dimensions conforming to the standards in force, is intended to receive information concerning the product. These can be marked either in relief or printed indelibly.
• the bracelet consists of a flexible hose having at one end the male part and at the other, the female part of the clasp also acting as a reservoir. Once assembled, the two parts of the clasp are and remain inseparable.
• the teeth of the male part slightly curved towards the outside, flatten during their introduction into the female part and return to their original position when they arrive in the chamber. The removal of the male part is thus made impossible.
• the inside of the hose contains a very penetrating, highly perfumed or even foul smelling liquid under pressure which stains indelibly and alters the product on which it is placed if the bracelet is cut off or attempts to open the clasp to modify the label. or replace the bracelet.
• the latter must withstand the low temperatures of freezing.
• the characteristics of the liquid remain to be defined according to the legislation of each state. For use on products which must undergo cold storage, this liquid, in order to maintain its effectiveness, must have an appropriate freezing point so as not to solidify and deteriorate the entire bracelet. In any case, the altered product must be rendered unusable so as not to be put back on the market.
• An attempt to open the bracelet by pulling on the male and female strands of the bracelet separates the teeth, tears the lateral lids, or cuts off the male end, thus causing the liquid to flow and disperse instantaneously. .
• one or more zones of lesser resistance that are perfectly materialized promote rupture.
• Two lights on the bottom of the female part allow a rapid flow of the liquid, these lights in the shape of a diffuser accelerate the distribution.
• the liquid is present over the entire length of the bracelet, which prohibits any possibility of cutting without the risk of causing a flow.
• a bulge "ring" on the male part of the bracelet partially opposes an accidental removal especially during handling. If the attempt to withdraw continues, the teeth come into contact with the inclined areas in the chamber of the female part, which causes the teeth to spread apart and the lids to tear or the male end to detach.
• the female part of the parallelepipedal clasp also constitutes the liquid reservoir.
• the quantity must be sufficient to allow the product to be spoiled.
• the bracelet can only be removed by a professional, the buyer or the consumer. Withdrawal can only be carried out by deeply incising the product, thus leaving an apparent injury to the consumer, the presence of such an incision near the bracelet or its original location is a sign of the modification of the labeling or its removal.
• FIG. 1 represents a general perspective of the open monobloc bracelet.
• Figure 2 shows a general perspective of the open bracelet with separate label.
• Figure 3 shows the details of the clasp with lateral lids.
• Figure 4 shows the details of the clasp with detachable male end.
• the set includes
• Figure 1 the bracelet itself (1), the label support constituting the liquid reservoir integral with the bracelet (2), the male part of the clasp (3), the female part of the clasp (4), the flexible hose containing the pressurized liquid (5), the hooking teeth (6), the tooth housing chamber (7), the inclined planes causing the spacing or blocking of the hooking teeth (8), the lids (9), the rupture zones (10), the diffusing side lights (1 1), the reservoir (12), the rod (13), the shoulders (14) for fixing the separate label.
• the male part has its pointed end to facilitate installation through the product.
• FIG 2 shows the bracelet as shown in Figure 1 but with the separate label (15), the loops (16).
• Figure 3 shows the details of the clasp.
• the rod (13) offers a first resistance to opening, this in order to absorb an accidental force, in particular during handling.
• the teeth (6) come into contact with the inclined parts (8) in the chamber (7) of the female part which cause their separation and the tearing of the lids (9) according to the rupture zones ( 10) allowing the pressurized liquid to flow through the diffusing lights (11) and to alter the product.
• Figure 4 shows the details of the clasp with detachable male end.
• the rod always offers a first resistance. If the traction becomes greater the teeth (6) come into contact with the inclined parts (8) of the female part and abut in the bottom of the chamber (7) thus causing the detachment of the male end on the area of rupture (10) and the flow of liquid through the diffusing lights (11).
• this type of bracelet can be generalized to any article for which traceability is sought. On these articles, a place for the installation of the bracelet is to be envisaged.
• the liquid can be replaced by powder, foam or a gas. The characteristics of these products are to be defined according to the legislation in force.
