Abstract

AbstractInvention of TRS consists of 3 components (Figure 2); - (A) clear plastic housing (TRS Housing),- [err] colored insert (TRS Insert),- [err] soft stainless steel wireInvention discloses an adjustable secure lock intended for shippers, carriers, retailers, banks and many others.(Figure 2); Housing A' and Insert 'B' are constructed with 2 straight thru-holes '2' & '5'. Insert 'B' can be rotated free to align holes of housing and insert. Soft stainless steel wire 'C' is insert through aligned 2 holes '2' & '5'; wire then be tightened by twist-rotating flag '9' in one rotating direction preventing anti-rotation. Insert flag '9' can be breaks off to enhance security. For tracking, housing flag '10' can be heat-stamped or laser-mark with logo, sequential serial numbers or barcodes.Invented security device can only be release by using cutter to cut off the stainless steel wire.

Description OE 1. Field of Invention :

This is a versatile, durable, polycarbonate seal for all applications. The subject invention relates to sealing drums, electric meters, totes and cargo industries. This also allow for shippers, carriers, retailers, banks, and logistics providers to protect their cargo.

The material used to made for housing and inserts are polycarbonates material with a strap of soft stainless steel wire (diameter of wire depend on the holes of the seal housing case).

The key factor in this invention is single use seal, meaning it cannot be re-sealed once opened. :

As security and asset tracking initiatives continue to be implemented across the globe, this subject product is considered a cost effective security and visibility solution within the logistics process. 2. Description of Related Art

In connection with security, it appears to have a growing desire to provide some form of security.

The mechanical designs of Tooless Roto Seal are such that it incorporates reliable security issues.

The subject product features have two component polycarbonate; housing and insert and soft stainless steel wire.

The wire provides high level of security and lock tightly by rotating round the insert in 1 direction, which prevents it from reversal pull-out or release. Apart from easy to use and apply, no tools are required.

Tamper resistance including security seal like barcode, serial numbering printed on ~ housing flag providing asset tracking application. 3. Summary of Invention

It is an object that: - tamper evident clear plastic housing which can provide a psychological deterrent by ensuring that evidence of forced entry or tampering is clearly visible and that the crime cannot be subsequently hidden or covered up. - has integral soft stainless steel wire rotate around the insert in 1 direction, which provides a ] high level of security with ability of self-lock and makes it highly impossible to be reversal pulled out.

Project : CS Tooless Roto Seal : - includes asset tracking application. It can be procured with the company name or logo and sequential serial numbers or barcodes. - the teething design at inner housing surface and the rotating flexible flip on the insert enable the inter-locking when rotated, which prevent reversal rotation, thus enhance tamper evident. - The insert flag has a tear-away design, which once break the soft stainless steel wire is permanently locked and no further rotation is possible. 4.

Figure 1 - The front view and side view of the final product.

Figure 2 - @ clear plastic housing, which has a undercut protrusion (1) that locked the colored rotating insert when the insert is assembled into housing.

Housing comes with 2 straight thru-holes (2) at the circular housing circumference.

The housing inner bottom, the side wall is designed with teething step (3) for locking functionality. - @®) colored rotating insert is designed with rotating flexible flip (4) ,whereby when the insert is assembled into the clear plastic housing, the flexible flip will contact against the housing teething step.

Insert is also accompanied with 2 thru-holes (5), which will be position and aligned with the housing thru-holes. : Page 2 of 3

Application for patent rights ~ Project : CS Tooless Roto Seal - soft stainless steel wire, which will be inserted through any one of the clear plastic housing hole, through the insert hole and penetrated from the other side of the housing hole.

At the protruded end of wire, shall form a hook-like shape to prevent wire from reversing during rotating to tighten wire. :

Figure 3 - the top view of the product after assembled. - color insert is assemble and locked inside housing by undercut at entrance of housing. : - both end of soft stainless steel wire are inserted into the 2 thru-holes penetrating from ‘housing through the insert (7). - the clear plastic housing flag can includes with customer printed or hest-stamped serial numbers (6). 6. Conclusion

This new invention is cater for electric meters, water and gas meters, drums, gasoline pumps, fiber drums, scales, imported carpets, totes. : This also allow for shippers, carriers, retailers, banks, and logistics providers to protect their cargo.

Users can use the invention for additional security due to its high strength and non-reversal locking properties.

It is easy to tighten by twist-rotation, but it is highly impossible to reversal because the insert flexible flip integral and locked firmly against with the housing teething steps.

Tamper-indicating polycarbonate material will break and crack if tampering occurs and cannot be reattached if broken. This CS-Tooless Roto Seal can have custom wording and consecutive numbering to enforce accountability, for tracking application.

A versatile, durable and polycarbonate seal for all applications. :

Claims (1)

1. Application for patent rights Project : CS Tooless Roto Seal : Claims The claimed is: 1) The invention consists of 3 different parts, - @)clear plastic housing (TRS Housing), - ®) colored insert (TRS Insert), - soft stainless steel wire 2) This invention is designed in such that once the TRS insert is press-fitted into the TRS housing, the undercut with ring protrusion at TRS housing will hold and permanently prevent the insert from dismounting from housing. 3) The housing is constructed with teething steps at the inner bottom of TRS housing while the TRS insert front is constructed with flexible flip. : 4) Both the TRS housing and TRS insert are constructed with 2 thru-holes that can be adjusted to align thoroughly when the 2 parts are assembled. 5) When the TRS insert is assembled into TRS housing, the insert flexible flip will contact against the housing inner teething steps, such that the contact will only allow one direction rotation.

   Tamper-proof to effectively prevent reversal rotation. 6) The both end of soft stainless steel wire are allow and shall be inserted through the 2 holes of both the TRS housing and TRS insert.

   Holding onto the flag of the TRS insert and twist © rotate, the wire will be tightened and firmly locked. 7) Ensure total protection whereby the flag of the TRS insert can be easily break off by bending such that leaving no room for any further rotation once it is locked. 8) The flag of the housing can have custom wording and consecutive nuihberiag ta enforce: accountability, for tracking application. - Page 1 of 1
