- the impeding means include one or more primary obstacles located at or near the middle of the entrance to the slot.
- the impeding means include one or more secondary obstacles located at or near the sides of the entrance to the slot.
- At least one of the legs of the frangible seal includes a groove configured to accommodate the primary obstacle as the leg enters the slot.
- the main body of the frangible seal includes at least one recess adapted to accommodate the secondary obstacle as frangible seal engages the cover.
- the slider includes a loop or aperture to which the attaching means may be attached.
- the attaching means are preferred to include a U-shaped clasp having a pair of arms each ending with an annular ring.
- the cover preferably includes a pair of extensions with corresponding annular rings.
- the security device is preferred to include a pin adapted to pass through and be received in the aligned annular rings of the U-shaped clasp and cover extensions so as to achieve attachment of the cover to the slider.
- the cover is preferred to include a pair of notches for receiving the respective arms of the U- shaped clasp so as to allow the slider (or zip pull) to rotate as desired.
- the present invention provides a cover for a security device for a container closable by a slide fastener having a slider, the security device including: a lower part adapted for attachment to the container;
- receiving means for receiving a frangible seal having a locking member and preventing retraction of the frangible seal except by fracture thereof;
- the cover is adapted to limit access to the attaching means and the receiving means, and includes a locking element adapted to engage the locking member of the frangible seal when the frangible seal is received in the receiving means so as to further preventing retraction of the frangible seal.
- the upper part defines a chamber and is attached to the lower part, the cover being adapted to cover the chamber to limit access therein.
- the present invention provides a frangible seal for a security device for a container closable by a slide fastener having a slider, the security device including:

- a security device 10 for a container (not shown) closable by a slide fastener (not shown) having a slider 16 (see Figures 16 to 19) is shown.
- the security device 10 has a lower part 12 for attachment to the container and attaching means 14 for attachment of the security device 10 to the slider 16.
- Security device 10 also includes upper part in the form of a chamber base 20 including chamber 22, in which is located receiving means in the form of a passageway 24 for receiving a frangible seal 26.
- the chamber base 20 retains the attaching means which is in the form of a U-shaped clasp 14.
- the chamber 22 of the present invention is also covered by an access limiting means in the form of a cover 28.
- This cover 28 however has a substantially different design and configuration than that described in the abovementioned PCT document.
- the frangible seal 26 to be received by the passageway 24 has a substantially different design and configuration from that disclosed in the same PCT document.
- the cover 28 of the present invention has a locking element being a protrusion 30 extending downwardly.
- the protrusion 30 is in the form of a wedge with a bevel 32 and a flat locking surface 34.
- the frangible seal 26 of the present invention has a main body 36 and a pair of flexible legs 38 & 40 extending from the main body 36.
- Each leg 38, 40 of the frangible seal 26 has an inclined barb 44, 46.
- the legs 38 & 40 are joined by a locking member 42.
- the locking member 42 provides an engaging surface in the form of a ramp 48 and a second locking surface 50. As best shown in Figures 11, 12, 13 & 15, the ramp 48 faces one direction whereas the second locking surface 50 faces another direction.
- the ramp 48 of the frangible seal 26 urges against the bevel 32 of the cover 28 thereby resulting in the pair of legs 38 & 40 to flex downward to allow the frangible seal to advance.
- the pair of legs 38 & 40 is cleared of the locking member 42 being capable of flexing back into its original position resulting in the first locking surface 32 abutting the second locking surface 50.
- the seal 26 is interlocked with the cover 28 and hence further prevention of retraction of the frangible seal 26 is achieved. This is significant as this design enhances secured locking of the frangible seal 26 with two mechanisms.
- the cover 28 has a slot 52 through which the frangible seal 26 is inserted to be received by the passageway 24.
- the slot 52 is partially defined by two ledges 54 & 56 configured to stop the main body 36 of the frangible seal 28 from entering the slot 52.
- a gap 58 Provided between the ledges 54 & 56 is a gap 58 configured to enable non-interference of the inclined barbs 44, 46 as the legs 38 & 40 enter the slot 52.
- the cover 28 also includes impeding means configured to prevent insertion of unauthorised or incompatible seals (such as the ones for the security device disclosed in PCT/AU2007/000929) into the slot 52.
- the impeding means take the form of primary obstacles being ribs 60 located at or near the middle of the entrance 62 to the slot 52.
- the impeding means also include secondary obstacles in the form of large ribs 64 located at or near the sides of the entrance 62 to the slot 52.
- each of the legs 38 & 40 of the frangible seal 26 has a groove 66 configured to accommodate the primary obstacle 64 as the leg 38, 40 enters the slot 52.
- the ribs 60 are nested in the respective recesses 84 & 86 provided in the main body 36 of the seal 26, as illustrated in Figure 5.
- the main body 36 of the frangible seal 26 has a pair of recesses 68 provided to accommodate the secondary obstacles which are in the form of large ribs 64 as frangible seal 26 engages the cover 28.
- the slider 16 has a loop or aperture 70 to which the attachment means being the U-shaped clasp 14 is attached.
- the U-shaped clasp 14 has a pair of arms 14 each ending with an annular ring 74.
- the cover 28 has a pair of extensions 76 with corresponding annular rings 78.
- a pin 80 (see Figure 16) is provided to pass through and be received in each of the aligned annular rings 74 & 78 of the U-shaped clasp 14 and cover extensions 76 so as to achieve attachment of the cover 28 to the slider 16.
- the configuration of the U-shaped clasp 14 offers the advantage of being able to be passed through and hooked around the loop or aperture 70 of the slider 16 during assembly.
- the bridge.82 of the slider is configured such that a substantially closed loop is created by the bridge 82 for a high level of security. It is therefore important for the clasp 14 to have an open end to facilitate installation. Fastening between the clasp 14 and pin 80 is achieved via interference or friction fit.
- the cover 28 has a pair of notches 78 for receiving the respective arms 72 of the U-shaped clasp 14 so as to allow the slider 16 (or zip pull) to rotate as desired.
- the cover is retrofittable into old security devices to replace the original or a preexisting cover which enables use of most of the original parts and hence saves cost;
