Definitions

  • This patent relates to the field of seals, and in particular it concerns safety seals applicable on containers as a guarantee of the integrity of the closing.
  • Safety seals constituted by a linear body comprising at one end a closing head and having the other end tapered for its insertion in the closing head are known.
  • the head has a passing hole with dimensions equal to the section of the body and is provided inside said hole with a tooth or tab flexible and inclined in order to allow the passage in the hole in only one sense.
  • the body has on its surface a saw-toothed knurling, perpendicular to the length of the linear body itself and extended all along the body.
  • the body and the head of the seal are realized in plastic material while the tab or tooth is realized in metal and drown-incorporated in the head during the forming of the seal.
  • a seal as afore described is utilized, by inserting the body of the seal in the eyelets of the parts that have to be sealed, and then said seal body is inserted in the head in a way to insert it as much as possible.
  • the slot formed by the body of the seal assures the not opening of the parts that have to be kept united or closed.
  • the tooth or tab inside the head of the seal prevents the extraction of the body of the seal from the head.
  • the known seals have also other drawbacks.
  • the part of the body already inserted in the head of the seal is free and can causes troubles, for example during the transport of the container closed by the seal or when trying to reach other machines near to the object closed by the seal.
  • the closing of the seal requires particular manual skills and care because when the body is pulled through the head, the head of the seal slides on the object that has to be closed, thus making it difficult to close the seal.
  • Aim of the new safety seal is to make the opening of the seal itself irreversibly evident.
  • Another likewise important aim of the new seal is to prevent the the opening without damages to the seal itself. Further likewise important aim of the new seal is to prevent the extraction without damages of the body from the head.
  • Another aim of the new seal is to facilitate the closing or the pulling of the body through the head, that is to hold the position of the head on the object that has to be closed.
  • the new safety seal comprising a generically linear and flexible body, provided at one end with a closing head and having the opposite end tapered.
  • the body of the new seal has a generically strip shape provided on each edge with an alternate sequence of flexible foils or elements for the blocking or the limiting of the flexion of the foils themselves.
  • Each foil has a generically rectangular shape, it is perpendicular to the length of the body and has section with such dimensions to allow its flexion in only one direction and in only one sense, that is in the sense of the ends of the body.
  • Each element for the blocking or the limiting of the flexion of the foils is shaped like a trapezoid or an arrow, in order to allow the flexion of the next foils towards the head of the seal and to prevent the flexion of the foil towards the tapered tip
  • the width of each element for the blocking or the limiting of the flexion of the foils is smaller than the width of the foils themselves, that is the width of each element for the blocking or the limiting of the flexion of the foils is equal to the width of the foils in their position of maximum flexion.
  • the head of the seal has a passing hole with section, or span, equal to the section of the body in correspondence to an element for the blocking or limiting of the flexion of the foils.
  • Said passing hole has internal steps or offsets fit for facilitating the passing of the body of the seal during the insertion and to prevent its extraction.
  • the head is provided with an appendix or plate fit for receiving writings, codes or inscriptions and more than everything the unambiguous identification number of the seal itself.
  • On said appendix or plate there is a U- shaped hole capable of holding the tapered end of the body.
  • the foils By inserting the body of the seal in the hole of the head, the foils flex until they lean on the inclined wall of the elements for the blocking or the limiting of the flexion of the foils, so as to reduce their lateral encumbrance and to permit the sliding through the hole of the head.
  • the pulling of the body in the opposite sense, that is through the head, causes the flexion of the foils in the opposite sense, so that they come immediately in contact with the blocking element that prevent such sliding.
  • Substantially the blocking of the extraction of the body from the head is assured by each couple of foils and of blocking or limiting elements.
  • the central rib of the body prevent the insertion in a not correct sense of the body itself into the hole of the head.
  • Safety seal for the guarantee of the closing comprising a generically linear and flexible body provided at one end with a head with passing hole for the insertion and the blocking of said body, having the body provided, on both edges, with an alternate sequence of flexible foils and elements for the blocking or the limiting of the flexion of the foils, and wherein each foil has width greater than the hole of the head and it is flexible towards the ends of the body, and wherein each element for the blocking or the limiting of the flexion of the foils has width equal to or smaller than the hole of the head and it is shaped like a trapezoid or an arrow so that to allow only the flexion of the adjacent foils towards the head of the seal and to prevent the flexion of said foils towards the tapered tip.
  • FIG 1 the new seal is represented, while figures 2, 3, 4 show three views, front, lateral and section, of the body (C), of the new seal comprising a generically linear and flexible body (C), provided at one end with a closing head
  • the body (C) of the new seal has a generically strip shape with, on each edge, an alternate sequence of flexible foils (C2) and elements (C3) for the blocking or the limiting of the flexion of the foils (C2).
  • Each foil (C2) has a generically rectangular or anyway linear shape and it is perpendicular to the length of the body (C).
  • each foil (C2) is also preferably rectangular and has dimensions such to allow its flexion only towards the ends of the body (C).
  • Each element (C3) for the blocking or the limiting of the flexion of the foils (C2) is shaped like a trapezoid or an arrow, in order to allow the flexion of the adjacent foils (C2) only towards the head (T) of the seal and to prevent the flexion of said foils (C2) towards the tapered tip QCI).
