Patent number: 6926317Abstract: Security seals (1) are widely used to demonstrate the integrity of a closed container, truck, roll pallet, cage or box. Typically such security seals (21) are made from plastics material and have a strap (2) with a plug (5) at one end and a socket (4) at the other end. The socket includes a one-way lock so that when the security seal (1) is threaded through a locking point and the plug (5) inserted into the socket (4) the plus is locked irremovably into the socket. The only way that the security seal can subsequently be removed is by destroying it. Such a security seal (1) includes a recognizable sequence of indicia (20) extending along substantially the whole length of the strap portion (2) . The presence of the recognizable sequence of indicia (20) along the length of the strap (2) make it almost impossible to cut such a strap (2) and reconnect the cut ends without disrupting the sequence of indicia (20) so that it is immediately evident that the security seal (1) has been tampered with.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2003Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Assignee: ITW LimitedInventors: Gareth William Thomas, George Relton McMillan, David Austin Burt

Publication number: 20050161958Abstract: The application describes breakable seal for a container, bag, pouch or reusable envelope which is closed by one part locating over a second part, the second part having an opening for receiving the head of the breakable seal which locks into the opening in such a manner that it cannot be removed without breaking, the seal in its inserted position locking the first part in place over the second part in a tamper evident fashion. The seal has an extended neck portion between the line of weakness and the main body part of the seal. Typically said one part is the fastener tab of the zipped opening of a reusable envelope and the second part is the enclosure or chamber of a lock unit mounted on the envelope, adjacent one end of the zipped opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2004Publication date: July 28, 2005Applicant: ITW LIMITEDInventor: Daniel Graves
