Description

TAMPER-RESISTANT SEALS
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to seals for use in connection with packaging. More specifically, the invention is concerned with seals for use in conjunction with packaging which is used for CDs, DVDs, video cassettes and the like. Most particularly, the invention is directed towards the provision of seals for use in this context which are resistant to tampering by unauthorised persons.
Background to the Invention
For several years, it has been the case that various audio and video products such as CDs, DVDs and video cassettes have been packaged for sale, transit and storage in pull-open cases which are secured by means of adhesive labels. The said adhesive labels may be used alone, or may optionally include various additional security devices such as, for example, radio frequency, acousto-magnetic or electromagnetic units.
A frequently encountered problem with such security labels, however, is the possibility of tampering by unauthorised persons, thereby allowing for removal of the packaged goods, or their replacement with counterfeited goods. The present invention seeks to prevent such occurrences, and to provide a simple security wrap device which may be cheaply and efficiently manufactured, and easily applied to the goods in question, and which is effective in overcoming such potentially criminal activities.
Summary of the Invention
Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a security wrapping device for use in the wrapping of containers, said wrapping device comprising wrapping means, first attachment means, second attachment means and indicator means, wherein said first and second attachment means facilitate secure attachment of said wrapping means to a container and said indicator means is adapted to provide a visual indication of the attempted removal of said wrapping device from said container.
Preferably, the containers to which the security wrapping device of the present invention may be applied comprise small containers of the type that can be carried in the hand. Thus, the device finds particular application in the wrapping of, for example, containers for CDs, DVDs and videos, and boxes for computer minidisks.
Description of the Invention
The wrapping device comprises wrapping means designed to circumscribe the exterior of the container in a manner such that the container may not be opened without removal of the wrapping device. Attachment of the wrapping device to the container is then effected by the first and second attachment means. Preferably, the wrapping means comprises a band of material of sufficient dimensions to circumscribe the container in the desired manner. Typically, said wrapping means comprises a plastics material; particularly suitable plastics materials for this purpose comprise polyolefins, preferably polypropylenes, and polyesters. The width of the band of material is chosen in accordance with the size of the container which is to be wrapped, but is typically in the region of from 2 to 10 cm, preferably from 4 to 6 cm, and is generally around 5 cm.
Said first and second attachment means are adapted so as to effect secure attachment of said wrapping means to said container. To this end, at least one of said first and second attachment means may be comprised in said wrapping means. Alternatively, at least one of said first and second attachment means may comprise separate attachment means fixedly attached to said wrapping means.
Preferably said first and second attachment means comprise an adhesive layer, adapted to become adhered to a surface. In the case of said first attachment means, said adhesive layer is adapted to become adhered to the surface of the container; optionally, said second attachment means is also adapted to become adhered to the surface of the container.
Said adhesive layer is preferably provided as a layer on a substrate which may be protected by means of a suitable covering layer prior to use but which is then exposed by removal of the covering layer to allow for adhesion of the adhesive layer to a surface. Preferably, said substrate and said covering layer comprise plastics materials, suitable examples of which include the plastics materials which are used for the manufacture of the wrapping means. Indeed, this is self-evidently the case on those occasions when at least one of said first and said second attachment means are comprised in said wrapping means. Suitable alternative materials for the covering layer include various types of paper.
Said indicator means is adapted to provide a visual indication of the attempted removal of the wrapping device from a container. Most conveniently, said indicator means is comprised in at least one of said attachment means, preferably in said second attachment means. In the most preferred embodiment of the invention, wherein said attachment means comprises an adhesive layer on a substrate, said attachment means is adapted such that visible disintegration of the attachment means occurs as a consequence of the attempted removal of the wrapping device from a container to which it has been attached, thereby providing said indicator means. In such a case, the desired effect may be achieved by, for example, providing a series of incisions in the substrate and adhesive layer, such that removal of the whole as an integral unit is not possible, and the attempted removal of the attachment means from the container will inevitably result in splitting of the attachment means, and the apparent disintegration of the material of the attachment means.
In operation, initial attachment of the security wrapping device of the invention to a container is effected by the first attachment means. Thereafter, the wrapping means is placed around the external surfaces of the container, and the device is secured in position by the second attachment means such that opening of the container is not possible without at least partial removal of the wrapping device. Such partial removal is not possible without disturbance of the indicator means.
Preferably, attachment of the second attachment means is effected at a position adjacent the position of attachment of the first attachment means, such that separation of the first attachment means from the container is not possible without some degree of interference with the indicator means. Optionally, the wrapping means may be secured by attachment of the second attachment means to a position on the wrapping means adjacent the first attachment means. More preferably, however, the second attachment means is attached to a position on the surface of the container adjacent the position of attachment of the first attachment means.
In the preferred embodiment wherein the wrapping means comprises a band of material, preferably plastics material, the first attachment means preferably comprises an adhesive strip located at one end of the band of material, and the second attachment means preferably comprises an adhesive strip located at the opposite end of the band of material. By incorporating a series of, typically parallel, incisions in the section of the band which supports the second adhesive strip, the security wrapping device is provided with indicator means. Thus, in operation, the band may be affixed to a container by attachment to the surface of the container via the first adhesive strip. Thereafter, the band may be placed around the container so as to prevent opening of the container, and secured in position by attachment of the second adhesive strip to the surface of the band which faces away from the container at a position which is directly above the point of attachment of the first adhesive strip to the container. Since the section of the band which supports the second adhesive strip includes a series of incisions, it is found that removal of the end of the band at the point of attachment of the second adhesive strip is not possible without tearing of the band at that position, with the consequence that the attempted removal becomes clearly evident, so that unauthorised tampering with or removal of, the band is prevented.
Most conveniently, the preferred embodiment comprises a band of plastics material which carries, on one side, an adhesive layer. A covering layer is provided over the adhesive layer; most preferably, said covering layer comprises a backing sheet which may, for example, be in the form of a sheet of plastics material or treated paper. The backing sheet is adapted to be removable from the adhesive layer in those regions designed to form the first attachment means and the second attachment means. The band and the associated adhesive layer include a series of incisions, which comprise the indicator means, in the region which comprises the second attachment means.
It is found that a higher level of security may be achieved by providing for attachment of the second attachment means directly to the container, rather than to a section of the wrapping means. Thus, the wrapping device of the invention is preferably adapted such that direct attachment may be achieved in this manner. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the band of plastics material comprising the wrapping means is adapted so as to allow for such a mode of attachment. Most conveniently, this may be achieved by providing at least one window in said band, such that the second attachment means, preferably comprising an adhesive strip, may directly come into contact with the container.
A further aspect of the invention allows for the wrapping device to be adapted by the user for use with containers of various sizes. Thus, the invention provides a wrapping device wherein the length of the wrapping means may conveniently be varied. In a particularly preferred embodiment, wherein the wrapping means comprises a band of material, preferably plastics material, the length of the wrapping means is most conveniently adjusted by providing wrapping means which comprises a multiplicity of bands of material which may be adhered to each other as appropriate to achieve a wrapping device of suitable dimensions. Preferably, said multiplicity of bands of material comprises a first band of material, a second band of material and a third band of material. Most preferably, there is provided: (a) a first band of material comprising first attachment means and additional means of adhesion; (b) a second band of material comprising second attachment means, indicator means, and further additional means of adhesion; and (c) a third band of material comprising an extension strap.
In use, the extension strap, the length of which may be adjusted as appropriate, is inserted between said first band of material and said second band of material to provide a wrapping device of the desired length in accordance with the dimensions of the container which is to be wrapped. Thus, the additional means of adhesion, which preferably comprises an adhesive strip, is located at the end of the first band of material which is remote from the first attachment means; similarly, the further additional means of adhesion, which also preferably comprises an adhesive strip, is located at the end of the second band of material which is remote from the second attachment means and indicator means. These additional means of adhesion are then contacted with the two opposing ends of the extension strap in order to adhere the first and second bands of material thereto, and to form the wrapping device.
Preferably, the extension is comprised of the same material as the first and second bands of material; most preferably this material comprises a plastics material.
Optionally, the security wrapping device of the invention may additionally include further security features such as, for example, Radio Frequency (RF), Acousto- Magnetic (AM) and Electro-Magnetic (EM) devices, examples of which are well known to those skilled in the art. Typically, said devices may be incorporated in the material forming the wrapping means, according to the standard methods known in the art.
The wrapping device of the present invention offers a particularly attractive option for the secure wrapping of CDs, DVDs, videos and the like, since it is easily manufactured and provides a simple and cheap means of achieving the objective of preventing unauthorised tampering with the product. The attachment of the device to the container prevents the possibility of the wrapping being removed by simply sliding it off the container, and the fact that the device circumscribes the exterior of the container ensures that all the means of opening the container are located within the boundaries of the wrapper, thereby ensuring security.
The embodiment of the invention wherein the second attachment means is attached to a band of material which forms the wrapping means, rather than to the container, offers the advantage that the amount of adhesive residue deposited on the container may be minimised, whereas the alternative embodiment, which requires that the second attachment means should be attached to the container, offers a particularly high level of security. In any event, however, authorised removal of the device can be achieved swiftly and conveniently by cutting the device with a knife or scissors.
The device of the invention also offers adaptability and versatility, since the nature of the material from which the device is formed can be adapted to provide varying levels of strength or opacity. Typically, the device comprises a plastics material, and various plastics materials are available to provide a variety of options in this regard.
Additionally, as previously noted, further security features may be incorporated in the wrapping device of the invention, thereby allowing further flexibility in tailoring the properties of the device to the requirements of a specific situation.
