DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a synthetic resin sealing device for closing the mouth of a bag used for transporting cash and other items at, for example, a financial institution or a post office. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, there are two types of conventional sealing tools, one of which simply seals the mouth of the bag and the other which tightly seals the bag.
The former one has good workability but dislikes lacking safety.On the other hand, the latter one has excellent safety but dislikes that the workability decreases due to high cost.
There is a great need in the art for these improvements.

[0003] In order to meet such a demand, an application of a band clip for binding wires as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 25607/1994 is conceivable. This is because, although not specifically shown, the band clip is an integrally molded product of synthetic resin, and a long band body suitable for fastening the mouth of the bag, and locking the band body in the tightened state. In general, it is only necessary to form a continuous latch on one side of the band body and form an insertion hole with an engagement claw for inserting the band body in the center of the lock body. This is because the configuration is extremely simple.

Accordingly, when the band clip having such a configuration is used as a sealing device, the free end of the band is locked while the mouth of the bag to be sealed is tightened with the long band. When the fork is forcibly pulled out through the insertion hole, the engaging claw is firmly engaged with the latch of the band body in the insertion hole, so that the mouth of the bag can be securely sealed.

[0005]

If the above-mentioned band clip is used as a sealing device, it is possible to expect a considerable improvement in workability and safety in addition to cost reduction. However, even though it is necessary to attach a tag with necessary items to the bag for transport, such consideration is not given to the band clip. Since it is no longer possible to attach the tags very easily and reliably, an improvement in the attachment of the tags is newly desired.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been developed to meet such a demand, and has a long band body for tightening the mouth of an object to be sealed, and a continuous band connected to the base end of the band body. The band body has a continuous latch on one side thereof, and the lock body has an insertion hole with an engagement claw for inserting the band body, and is provided in the insertion hole of the lock body. Assuming a synthetic resin sealing tool that engages the engaging claw with the latch of the inserted band body, a tip ring portion of a size that allows insertion of the band body is provided on one side edge of the band body. An arm piece for attaching a tag is provided, and a holding portion for holding a tag attached to the arm piece is provided on the other side edge of the band body, while a tip ring portion of the arm piece is provided on the entrance side of the insertion hole of the lock body. The hook is provided with a hook.

[0007]

Therefore, under the closure of the present invention, first, a state in which the tags are held by the holding portion is obtained, and the distal end ring portion of the arm piece is bent in the mounting hole formed in the tags. When the tip ring is inserted and hooked on a hooking claw provided at the entrance side of the insertion hole of the lock body, the tags can be easily attached to the arm piece without coming off.

Then, in this state, the free end of the band body is inserted into the insertion hole of the lock body through the inside of the tip ring while tightening the mouth of the object to be sealed with the band body in this state. If it is pulled out, the engaging claw is engaged with the latch of the band body in the insertion hole, whereby the mouth of the object to be sealed is very easily and reliably sealed. Since the tags are already securely held on the side of the sealing device via the holding portion, there is no fear of the tags being carelessly shaken.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to one embodiment. The sealing device according to the embodiment is also an integrally molded product of a synthetic resin. As shown, similarly to the above-described band clip, a long band body 1 for tightening the mouth of the bag to be sealed, and a lock body continuously provided in a state orthogonal to the base end 1a of the band body 1. The feature of the present invention is that the following configuration is adopted.

That is, in the former band body 1, a plurality of spike projections 3 are formed at a desired interval near the base end 1a of the inner surface, and are continuously formed at the center of the inner surface following the spike projections 3. And a plurality of small projections 5 are formed at a desired interval in the vicinity of the free end 1b of the outer surface, and at one side edge of the portion where the spike projections 3 exist, the band body 1 is formed. Arm 6 for attaching tags etc. provided with a rhombus-shaped tip ring portion 7 having a size that allows passage.
And a holding hole 8 large enough to insert and hold a tag attached to the arm piece 6 is provided on the other side edge.

On the other hand, regarding the latter lock body 2, in addition to forming an insertion hole 9 with an engagement claw 10 for inserting the band body 1 from the free end 1b side thereof,
As shown in FIG. 3, a pair of hooking claws 11 for hooking both side ends of the distal end ring portion 7 of the arm piece 6 are integrally protruded from the opposite edge of the insertion hole 9 on the entrance side, and the band body 1 is also provided.
The structure in which the tongue-shaped gripping piece 12 is continuously provided on the side surface where is not continuously provided. In this embodiment, after sealing, a tip of a tool or the like is inserted into the insertion hole 9 to prevent the engagement claw 10 from releasing the engagement of the band body 1 with the latch 4. In order to make at least the entrance side and the exit side of the insertion hole 9 approximately the same size as the cross section of the band body 1 and to obtain reliable engagement between the engagement claw 10 and the latch 4, the insertion hole 9 is It is curved with respect to the longitudinal direction.

Therefore, when using the sealing device having such a configuration, first, a state in which the tags 13 are inserted into the holding holes 8 is obtained, and the tags 13 are inserted into the mounting holes 14 formed in the tags 13. By inserting the distal end ring portion 7 of the arm piece 6 while using the rhombic deformation to bend, the distal end ring portion 7 is inserted into a pair of hooks provided on the entrance side of the insertion hole 9 of the lock body 2. When the tag 13 is hooked on the claw 11, the tag 13 can be easily attached to the arm piece 6 without coming off as shown in FIG. In this case, it is also possible to insert the tags 13 into the holding hole 8 after attaching the tags 13 on the arm piece 6.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, this time, while holding the gripping piece 12 and the like and tightening the mouth 15a of the bag 15 with the inner surface of the long band 1, the free end of the band 1 1b is inserted into the insertion hole 9 of the lock body 2 through the inside of the tip ring portion 7 and pulled out, and the engagement claw 10 is elastically engaged with the latch 4 of the band body 1 in the insertion hole 9. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6, the mouth 15a of the bag 15 is immediately sealed. In addition, since the tags 13 are inserted into the holding holes 8 in advance and are securely held on the sealing device side, the opening 1 of the bag 15 is
Needless to say, there is no fear that the tags 13 are inadvertently displaced in the tightening process of 5a. However, even under the final sealing state, there is no fear that the tags 13 will be shaken or broken.

As shown in FIG. 7, the insertion of the tags 13 into the holding hole 8 is simply performed in such a manner that the tags 13 are simply loosened on the arm piece 6 as shown in FIG. First, as it is, the mouth 1 of the bag 15
As shown in FIG. 8, even if the tag 13 is inserted into the holding hole 8, the tag 5a can be securely held on the sealing device side as shown in FIG. Is preferred.

[0015] In any sealed state, the bag 15
If there is no way other than cutting the band body 1 in order to change the contents, and if there is no way other than cutting the arm piece 6 when replacing the tags 13, the presence or absence of these cuts There is an advantage that it is possible to determine at a glance whether or not a fraudulent act has been performed just by confirming. Moreover, when the mouth 15a of the bag 15 is sealed, the bag 1
Since the plurality of spike protrusions 3 described above are individually pressed against the mouth portion 15a of the bag 5, there is no fear that the closure itself will fall out of the mouth portion 15a of the bag 15 inadvertently. Since the tip ring 7 is also locked by the insertion of the band body 1, the tip ring 7 never comes off the pair of hooking claws 11.

In the above-described embodiment, a very general bag 15 for transportation is used as an object to be sealed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is contrary to the spirit of the present invention. It goes without saying that other bags and boxes can also be targeted unless otherwise specified.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned structure, tags can be attached to the sealing device side very easily, and finally, the tags can be prevented from wobbling. For the first time, it is possible to securely hold the device on the sealing device side. Moreover, since the sealing device of the present invention is structurally simple, it goes without saying that there is no concern about an increase in cost, but in particular, improvement in workability and safety can be greatly expected.
