As this kind of conventional sealing device, there is one shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-32140.
Although not shown specifically, the conventional sealing device is composed of two parts, a box-shaped body and an inverted U-shaped arm, and the body forms a pair of fitting holes on its upper surface side. The arm has a configuration in which a lock shape that fits into the fitting hole so as not to be pulled out is provided at the ends of both end portions, and a thin cut portion is formed above each lock shape.
[0003]
Therefore, in actual use, while inserting an inverted U-shaped arm into the mounting hole provided in the mouth of the bag that is the object to be sealed or the hole of the chain wound around the mouth, When both ends are inserted into the corresponding fitting holes of the body, the both ends of the arm are fitted in the respective fitting holes so that they cannot be pulled out due to the lock shape, thereby sealing the mouth of the bag. Become. Also, when opening the mouth of the bag, it is possible to open the mouth of the bag by cutting the cut part formed at the upper end of the both ends of the arm in the sealed state. Become.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, under the conventional sealing tool, it is possible to easily seal or easily open the mouth of the bag without using a key or the like. Needless to say, the arm cannot be used if it is cut from the cut part, but the cut ends of both ends of the arm remain in the fitting hole of the body, and the sealing tool itself can no longer be reused. Therefore, it could never be said that it was economically favorable.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention was developed in order to effectively solve the problems of such a conventional sealing device. The invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a box-shaped body and one end portion are rotatable to the body. An arm having an inverted U shape to be supported, a lock key in which the elastic leg portion and the base plate portion are severably connected, and the body is an open engagement groove for engaging the other end portion of the arm. A locking hole for locking the elastic leg portion of the lock key, and by locking the elastic leg portion of the lock key in the locking hole, Is closed from the surface side, and the other end of the arm is locked in the engagement groove of the body, while the elastic leg portion of the lock key and the substrate portion are cut and the closed state by the substrate portion is released. The configuration in which the other end of the arm is unlocked was adopted.
[0006]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, on the premise of the first aspect, an elastic leg that forms a discharge hole continuous with the locking hole and newly locks the elastic leg portion of the cut lock key in the locking hole of the body. The structure which discharged | emitted outside from the said discharge hole in the part was employ | adopted.
[0007]
Therefore, in the invention according to claim 1, when sealing the mouth portion of the sealing object, the other end portion of the arm is inserted while inserting the other end portion of the arm into the hole or the like on the sealing object side. Is engaged with the engagement groove of the body, and then the elastic leg portion of the lock key is engaged with the engagement hole of the body, and the other end of the arm is brought into the engagement groove by the base portion of the lock key. Since it becomes possible to lock, the sealing work can be easily performed. On the other hand, when opening the seal, if the other end of the arm is forcibly rotated in the direction away from the engagement groove, the lock key substrate portion and the elastic leg portion are cut, and the lock key substrate portion is cut. The unlocked state of the other end of the arm can be released, so that the unsealing work can be easily performed.In particular, only the lock key is cut at this time, so it can be replaced with a new lock key. In this case, the sealing tool itself can be reused sufficiently.
[0008]
In the invention described in claim 2, when the sealing tool is reused, the lock key is replaced with a new one, and the elastic leg portion is again locked in the locking hole on the body side. At this time, since the previously cut elastic leg portion remaining in the locking hole is pushed by the new elastic leg portion and discharged to the outside in order from the discharge hole, the repeated reuse is hindered. There is no worry at all.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on a preferred embodiment shown in the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a sealing device according to the embodiment is rotatably supported on a body 1 and the body 1 side. Arm 3 and a lock key 3 for locking the arm 2 to the body 1 side.
[0010]
The body 1 is composed of a base body 1A and a lid body 1B which are molded separately from synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. 2, one end 2a of an arm 2 is provided on one side of the base body 1A. A half-divided support groove 4 that is rotatably supported is formed, an engagement groove 5 that is open on the surface side that engages the other end 2b of the arm 2 is formed on the other side, and the engagement groove 5 A locking hole 6 for locking an elastic leg portion of the lock key 3 to be described later is formed between the support grooves 4 in a state orthogonal to the grooves 4 and 5, and the engagement groove 5 is formed on the other surface of the body 1. The concave portion 7 that is continuous with the locking hole 6 is formed while being orthogonal to each other. A pair of small protrusions 8 for holding the other end 2b of the arm 2 is formed at the upper groove edge of the engagement groove 5.
[0011]
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid 1B is formed in a size that covers the locking hole 6 and the support groove 4 of the base 1A, and the support groove of the base 1A is also formed on one side thereof. 4, a half-divided support groove 9 for defining a cylindrical support hole is formed in cooperation with 4, and a discharge opening to the outside while continuing to the locking hole 6 on the side wall of the support groove 9. The hole 10 is formed.
[0012]
Accordingly, if the lid body 1B is fixed to the base body 1A side by welding or the like while the one end 2a of the arm 2 is surrounded by the half-divided support grooves 4 and 9 of the base body 1A and the lid body 1B, the base body One end 2a of the arm 2 is rotatably supported by a box-shaped body 1 composed of 1A and a lid 1B, and at the same time, the other end 2b of the arm 2 is directed toward the engagement groove 5 of the base 1A. If it is rotated, the other end 2b can be engaged with the engagement groove 5 by the elastic force of the small protrusion 8 described above.
[0013]
As shown in the figure, the arm 2 is formed in a reverse U shape with a metal bar, and the flanges 4a and 9a provided in the half-divided support grooves 4 and 9 are fitted to one end 2a side thereof. The groove 11 is formed.
[0014]
As shown in the drawing, the lock key 3 is formed of a synthetic resin as a plurality of separable continuous bodies, but each lock key 3 itself has an elastic leg portion 12 having a hook shape and a rectangular shape. When the elastic leg piece having a bowl shape is locked while being pushed into the locking hole 6, the rectangular substrate part 13 enters the recess 7 and is pressed against the base body 13. The 1A engagement groove 5 can be closed from the surface side.
[0015]
Therefore, when using the sealing tool having such a structure, if the mouth of the bag that is the object to be sealed is sealed, the mounting hole or mouth provided in the mouth of the bag (not shown) While the other end 2b of the arm 2 is inserted into the hole of the chain wound around the portion, the other end 2b of the arm 2 is engaged with the engagement groove 5 of the base 1A, and FIG. When the elastic leg 12 of the lock key 3 is bent and pushed into the locking hole 6 and elastically locked to the hole edge, the lock key 3 is attached to the body 1 side as shown in FIG. Since the substrate portion 13 enters the recess 7 and the other end portion 2b of the arm 2 is locked in the engagement groove 5, the mouth portion of the bag is thereby easily sealed.
[0016]
Further, when opening the mouth of the bag, the other end 2b of the arm 2 is forcibly rotated in a direction to be disengaged from the engaging groove 5 in the sealed state, or the recess 7 of the lock key 3 is opened. When the substrate portion 13 that has entered the inside is lifted with a finger, as shown in FIG. 5, the substrate portion 13 and the elastic leg portion 12 of the lock key 3 are cut, and the engagement groove 5 is closed by the substrate portion 13. Since it is unraveled, this makes it possible to easily open the mouth of the bag. Therefore, the opening operation can be easily performed without using a key or the like. However, by confirming whether or not the substrate portion 13 is cut, it is possible to determine whether or not an illegal act has been performed during the transportation. Become. In addition, the elastic leg part 12 cut | disconnected from the board | substrate part 13 will remain in the latching hole 6 as it is.
[0017]
For this reason, in the present embodiment, since the body 1 and the arm 2 can be reused as they are except that only the lock key 3 becomes unusable at the time of opening, the sealing tool itself can be reused. When used, if only the lock key 3 is replaced with a new one, and the elastic leg 12 is pushed into the locking hole 6 and locked, the new board portion 13 is engaged with the engaging groove 5 as described above. Is closed and the other end 2b of the arm 2 is locked in the engaging groove 5, so that the mouth of the bag can be sealed again. In this case, the elastic leg 12 remaining in the locking hole 6 from before is pushed in order by the new elastic leg 12 as shown in FIG. Since it is discharged from 10 to the outside, it will never interfere with repeated reuse.
[0018]
Further, as shown in the figure, if an identification number such as a serial number is assigned to the surface side of the substrate portion 13 of the lock key 3, management of the sealing object can be facilitated. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a very general bag is described as a sealed object, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other bags and boxes may be used.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, by adopting the above configuration, under the first aspect, when sealing the mouth of the object to be sealed, the other end of the arm is inserted into the hole or the like on the object to be sealed. On the other hand, the other end of the arm is engaged with the engagement groove of the body, and then the elastic leg of the lock key is locked in the locking hole of the body. Since the end portion can be locked in the engagement groove, the sealing operation can be easily performed. On the other hand, when opening the seal, if the other end of the arm is forcibly rotated in the direction away from the engagement groove, the lock key substrate portion and the elastic leg portion are cut, and the lock key substrate portion is cut. The unlocked state of the other end of the arm can be released, so that the unsealing work can be easily performed.In particular, only the lock key is cut at this time, so it can be replaced with a new lock key. In this case, the sealing tool itself can be reused sufficiently.
[0020]
Under the second aspect, when the sealing tool is reused, the lock key is replaced with a new one, and the elastic leg portion is again locked in the locking hole on the body side. Since the previously cut elastic leg portion remaining in the locking hole is pushed by the new elastic leg portion and discharged to the outside in order from the discharge hole, there is no fear of hindering repeated reuse. .
