Abstract

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.

Claims

1. A security seal comprising: a body, a horizontal body disposal section located at a mid section of a lower part of the body, an information area located at a top part of the body, a plurality of stems coupled to the body and a plurality of seal disposal nodes located between the body and the plurality of stems.

2. The security seal according to claim 1, wherein the horizontal body disposal section has a cross section with a weakened strength as compared to the body in order for the body to be disposed of following usage and the information area is placed horizontally at the top part of the body.

3. The security seal according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of stems are semi flat and ends of the plurality of stems have a hemispherical shape; and behind an end section the plurality of stems comprise tabs, wherein the tabs have an arrow head shape.

4. The security seal according to claim 1, wherein two stems are provided and the seal disposal nodes have a weakened strength at sections coupled to the body.

5. A security seal comprising two identical seals, wherein the two identical seals are placed adjacent to each other and joined along a short side of each identical seal; and an information area is located at a top part of the security seal; wherein, each of the two identical seals comprises a horizontal body disposal section located at a mid section of a lower part of the body, a plurality of stems coupled to the body and a plurality of seal disposal nodes located between the body and the plurality of stems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] The structure of the invention is formed of a body (1) placed horizontally, a transverse body disposal section (2) located at the mid section of the lower part of the body, an information area (3) located at the top part of the body, stems (5) coupled to the body (1) and seal disposal nodes (4) located between the body (1) and the stems (5). The stems (5) are semi flat and the end parts (6) of the stems are shaped like a hemisphere comprising tabs (7) on the arrow like tip.

[0027] The information area (3) provided on the body (1) enables the inscription of applications such as barcodes, serial numbers, and radio frequency identity tag and besides the locking process; it also acts like identification for the locked boxes.

[0028] The primary aim of the invention is to provide a seal for plastic cargo boxes. The end parts (6) provided on the stems (5) and the tabs (7) on the end parts are inserted into the holes (9) located on both sides of the plastic box (8), therefore the tabs (6) at the end parts (6) enable the stems (5) to be irreversibly locked on the plastic box (8).

[0029] When the covers (10) provided on the plastic box (8) is opened, the stems (5) remain inside the holes (9); however as the strength of the seal disposal nodes (4) located between the stems (6) and the body are weak, they break apart and are divided into 3 parts, being the body (1) and the stems (5). By this means it can be observed that the plastic box (8) has been opened.
