Patent number: 6948747Abstract: A pull-through security includes a base body and a tongue that protrudes therefrom and can be inserted through a pull-through opening that is arranged in a housing component connected to the base body. A restraint inset is arranged in the housing component. The tongue is provided with toes which protrude towards the outside in a rectangular-shaped manner when seen in the cross section. The toes engage with hooks in a toothed manner, whereby the hooks are arranged in the restraint inset. The housing component is provided with an outlet. The cross section of the outlet matches the cross section of the tongue having the toes. The form practically prevents the hooks from being manipulated by simple, flat tools. Influence or manipulation of the toothing between the toes and the hooks can practically be excluded.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2000Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Stoba AGInventor: Dominik Kaegi

Patent number: 6936207Abstract: The tongue material (2) is shaped, in a hot state, immediately after the extrusion thereof, preferably by means of a gear wheel acting upon the tongue material. The tongue material (4) is preferably longitudinally drawn after cooling below the solidification point thereof, with preferably a doubling in length. The final tongue profile (7) is thus achieved which displays a higher stiffness due to the stretching and may be adjusted to length or cut to length. The tongue (7), produced in the above manner, is finally mounted on the base body (8) of the drawn seal (1) by a spray application and forms the final drawn seal (1), together with the sealing body, also preferably mounted to the base body (8) by a spray application. The above is characterized not only by the good stability, but by the adjustable length of the tongue (7) and also a high security on manipulation. The final drawn seal (1) cannot be cut and resealed after installation, without leaving traces on the object to be sealed.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1999Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Stoba AGInventor: André Goby

Patent number: 6578887Abstract: The invention relates to a padlock (1) which is provided with a shackle (2). The padlock has a flat housing (3) in which retaining means (9, 10) are arranged. Retaining elements (7, 8) are positioned at the free end of the shackle (2″). The retaining means (9, 10) are located at a retaining plate (4) which is arranged in the interior of the flat housing (3). Preferably, the housing (3), shackle (2) and retaining plate (4) are manufactured in a single piece, i.e., they are firmly linked to each other. One of the advantages of the invention is that, once the shackle is locked, it cannot be opened except by breaking or deforming it so that tampering can be easily detected.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2001Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: Stoba AGInventor: Helmut Kienzler

Patent number: 6398273Abstract: The invention relates to a tag (1) comprising a shackle (4) mounted directly adjoining a sliding part (3), whereby said shackle in its locked position forms a closed circle together with the face of the wall of the tag housing (2). A locking element (5) positioned inside the housing in its locked position preferably clicks into both the sliding part (3) and the end of the shackle (4), thereby locking same in said position. In the locked position, the locking element (5) is pushed against a retaining cam (11) arranged inside the housing. If during an attempt to open the tag the sliding part (3) or shackle (4) is pulled and a certain pull force is exceeded, the built-in breakage area (12; 15) in the housing tears, thus providing clear, unambiguously and irreversible evidence of the attempted manipulation. This type of tag is especially suited as safety lock or safety seal.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1999Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: Stoba AGInventor: Ortwin Aichmann

Patent number: 6328356Abstract: A pull-through lead security seal has a base body and a tongue protruding out of the base body. The tongue can be inserted through a pull-through opening located in a housing part which is connected to the base body. A retaining insert is also located in the housing part. A predetermined breaking point, in the form of a preferably continuous groove, is situated between the retaining insert and the base body or the housing part. In the event of an attempt to tamper with the lead seal, that is, if somebody attempts to open the closed lead seal by pulling on the tongue, this predetermined breaking point breaks, detaching the retaining insert in the housing part so that it moves freely within the walls. A tampering attempt of this type can therefore be detected by a simple, superficial check.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2000Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: Stoba AGInventor: Ortwin Aichmann

Patent number: 6170181Abstract: A name tag includes a fastening clip on a rear wall which can be displaced in two mutually crossing guide grooves into different end positions. Swivelling can take place only at the crossing point, in which case, also at the crossing point, the foot part and its slide can be secured in the respective groove against falling out. The fastening clip can be moved into different positions with a clip opening which, in each case, points in a different direction. The clip can be secured in these positions against unintentional displacement and swivelling.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1999Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: Stoba AGInventor: Dieter Gröner

Patent number: 5337503Abstract: A closed seal member has a channel extending through it and contains a holder with locking members for the irreversible holding of an end of a flexible band of metal, which end is introduced into the channel. The other end of the band is fastened in the seal member. The flexible band carries a detachable code carrier. Both the seal member and also the code carrier fastened on the band have a code which is identical for both or is a unique code. The code carrier is fastened in such an area of the band that the seal can be closed only after removal of the code carrier.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1992Date of Patent: August 16, 1994Assignee: Stoba AGInventor: Andre Goby

Patent number: 4361351Abstract: A seal body formed of a pot-shaped element or housing and a cover contains a compartment within which there is inserted a holder. The holder comprises a substantially U-shaped metallic element having leg members from which protrude resilient tongues directed away from the holder ends towards the center region of the holder. The tongues extend at an inclination towards the oppositely situated holder leg or leg member. For each leg member there are provided two tongues and, in each case, one of the tongues of one of the leg members intersects, in the hollow space between the leg members, with one of the tongues of the other leg member and forms a locking or blocking element. Coacting with such locking element are catch elements provided at both ends of a metallic strip. These catch elements are formed by openings.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 1980Date of Patent: November 30, 1982Assignee: Stoba AGInventor: Walter Spirig
