  • the sealing implement 10 according to the present invention is integrally formed of a synthetic resin, such as the usual Nylon, polypropylene, or polyester, such as was the case with sealing implements of the past.
  • the basic configuration of the sealing implement 10 according to the present invention is substantially the same as a sealing implement of the past, and additionally has formed a filament part 12a with a stopping ring 19 on an end (top end) of the connection bar 11, and a grabbing piece 20 formed on this stopping ring 19.
  • the stopping ring 19 has an inner diameter formed so as to enable insertion of the connection bar part 11.
  • a protrusion 19b that engages with a cutout formed on the connection bar part 11 (refer to Fig. 3).
  • the grabbing piece 20 mounted to the stopping ring 19 has the shape of a flat tongue, so as to make it easy to grab by the fingers.
  • center axis line of the stopping ring 19 is formed so as to be in the perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the filament part 12a or in parallel with a plane formed by a plurality of filaments 12 of each one of the implements, each being uniformly arranged to each other.
  • the length of the filament part 12a is formed so as to be substantially 1/2 that of the filament part 12, An un-drawn filament can be used as the filament part 12a.
  • a cutout 16 such as shown in Fig. 2 is formed on a corresponding position of the connection bar part 11, so that it is difficult to pull out a stopping ring 19 once it has been inserted.
  • the corresponding position at which is formed the cutout 16 is ideally a position on the connection bar part 11 which is on the outside when the filament part 12 is bent in a U-shape.
  • the cutout 16 is made as a V-shape having an elevation angle of 30 ° and depression angle of 45 ° , so that it has a V-shape having an angle-of 75° when the connection bar part 11 is in the vertical position.
  • the cutout 16 is not restricted to this angle, and can be made any angle between 30 ° and 90° .
  • An engaging part 17 is formed in the insertion hole 14 of the socket part 15, to enable engagement with an engaging part 13a having a narrowed diameter at a step on part of the insertion head part 13.
  • the engaging part 17 is formed so as to protrude and be deformable into the insertion hole 14.
  • the sealing implements 10 are temporarily held to the connection bars 11 so that they are mutually parallel. Therefore, after loading into an attachment gun, by merely pulling a lever 18a, it is easy for one sealing implement at a time to become separated and shot out, thereby enabling mounting of labels and the like.
  • Fig. 4 is a plan view showing the condition of use of a sealing implement of the present invention.
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the condition in which a sealing implement 10 according to the present invention is loaded into a special attachment apparatus (gun).

  • connection bar part 11 The socket 15 supported by the connection bar part 11 is inserted into the vertical groove 22 is separated by a push-out belt (not shown in the drawing) from the connection bar part 11, and is pushed out and frontward one by one, along a curved socket part guide 26.
  • the socket part 15 that is pushed out along the socket part guide 26 is changed by 90 ° so that there is mating with the insertion head part 13 pushed out by the push-out pin (not shown in the drawing) at the insertion hole 14.
  • the inside of the socket part guide 26 is formed in the shape of a cylinder, so as to enable a change of 90 ° in direction, and to enable forward movement of the push-out belt while bending.
  • the configuration is such that the timing at which the end of the push-out belt reaches the tip end of the socket part guide 26 coincides with the timing at which the push out pin reaches the end of the socket part guide 26.
  • the sealing implement 10 can be used to perform continuous successive mounting of labels on products, for example.
  • the center axis of the hole part 23a of the stopping ring 23 is formed so as to be in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the connection bar part 11.
  • the flat surface of the grabbing piece 20 is also disposed so as to be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the connection bar part 11.
  • Fig. 7 is an enlarged side view showing the main part of another embodiment of a connection bar part 11 used in a sealing implement according to the present invention.
  • a protrusion 27 for preventing pull-off is formed near the upper end part of the connection bar part 11.
