The present invention relates to a coupling element of tracking tags and semi-finished metallurgical products. The coupling element comprises: at least a fixing portion adapted to permanently engage a respective semi-finished metallurgical product; at least a receiving portion engaged to the fixing portion and for receiving with engagement at least one tracking tag; at least a retaining portion engaged with the receiving portion of the tracking tag on the opposite side with respect to the fixing portion to keep the respective tracking tag trapped between the target semi-finished metallurgical product and the retaining portion when the coupling element is engaged with a semi-finished metallurgical product. The fixing portion has at least one tapering defining a pointed end arranged to penetrate a respective semi-finished metallurgical product. A system for applying coupling elements is provided which provides for the use of an application device with striker.

A clasp is configured to permanently interlock around a flexible strip of material and includes first and second interlocking members. At least one interlocking member includes a Bluetooth communication device. Each interlocking member can include a plurality of hooks and a corresponding plurality of recesses, where the recesses of one interlocking member receive the hooks of the other interlocking member to secure a band within the clasp between the interlocking members. The recesses can be completely internal to the clasp to prevent external tampering. Each of the interlocking members can include various protrusions and ribs that compress and secure the band within the clasp, so as to prevent movement of the band between the interlocking members when interlocked.

This invention is referred to a guarantee seal for non-opening electrical energy consumption meters with mechanical seal type padlock, disposable of a single use; for sealing or closing some container, box, door, cabinet, meter, valve, pump, bag, carrier bag, water tank, etc., meanly used for the electricity meters commonly used in countries of North America, Central and South America; whose purpose is protecting and controlling the electricity theft, guarantying its immobility. Such guarantee seal has a unique shape that fits exactly with the cavities of the meters and it gets in by pressure, therefore if the seal is located outside of such cavity its external manipulation is evident, furthermore, it has a lid, a base, a verification system by continuity and tag or RFID tag to ensure the integrity of such seal.

A security device for a battery pack includes a cap, which covers at least a portion of a slide mechanism of a slide battery pack, and a strap. The cap includes a first collar disposed around a first opening and a second collar disposed around a second opening, with the first collar and the second collar aligned along a longitudinal axis of the slide battery pack. The strap matches a contour of the slide battery pack and includes a first projection and a second projection. The strap is positioned along the longitudinal axis of the slide battery pack and the cap is positioned over the strap with the first projection inserted through the first opening and the first collar and the second projection inserted through the second opening and the second collar to secure the cap to the strap and to the slide battery pack.

The invention is related to a plastic security seal having space on its body for information (serial number, barcode, or radio frequency identity), used for exposure and evidence, which has self destructive legs when tampered with ill intentions used in order to lock plastic cases.

An anti-tamper device for a utility meter, in particular for an enclosure thereof, providing a guideway for a sealing element, wherein in a sealed state of the utility meter, at least a section of the sealing element extends along the guideway. Furthermore, an enclosure for a utility meter comprising a socket configured for receiving an anti-tamper device, as well as a utility meter comprising an anti-tamper device, and/or an enclosure. The guideway is provided with a predetermined breaking zone configured to break when the sealing element exerts a predefined breaking force onto the anti-tamper device.

A locking device includes a lock body, a hasp and a seal. The lock body includes a hasp locking latch pivotally disposed therein and a seal locking latch pivotally disposed therein. The hasp is disposed at the lock body and movable between an open state, where a free end of the hasp is external the lock body, and a closed state, where the free end of the hasp is within the lock body. The seal, when inserted into the lock body when the hasp is in its closed state, engages the hasp locking latch to pivot the hasp locking latch to engage and lock the hasp in its closed state, and the seal, when inserted into the lock body, engages the seal locking latch to lock the seal within the lock body. The seal includes a frangible portion that is configured to break the seal into first and second portions.

A security seal including a receptacle, a tip and a middle portion therebetween. The receptacle includes a bore with an entrance end and an exit end, at least one tab extending into the bore and an end plate having thereon a saddle. The tip has a cutout therein. The tip is insertable into the receptacle bore and engageable with the at least one tab. The end plate is moveable with a living hinge to block the exit end of the bore and to insert the saddle into the cutout.
