Security seal

Abstract

The present invention relates to a security seal (1), comprising a seal base (10) having at least one locking projection (11) and comprising a seal head (20) that is connected to the seal base (10) and that has at least one blocking tab (21), wherein each blocking tab (21) is movably connected to the seal head (20) by means of at least one hinge element (22), and a security closure having a first closing part and a second closing part, which second closing part can be moved back and forth relative to the first closing part between an open position and a closed position, wherein the first closing part has a receptacle, at which the seal base of a security seal according to one of the preceding claims can be locked in in such a way that, if the second closing part is in the closed position, at least one blocking tab (21) of the security seal (1) at least partially overlaps with the second closing part on the side of the second closing part opposite the first closing part, and additionally a security container having a container tub, a lid, and a security closure, wherein one of the first and second closing parts is provided on the container tub and the other of the first and second closing parts is provided on the lid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a novel security seal, a locking system used together with the security seal, a safety container and a sterile container with the locking system. Background technique [0002] The application of the lead seal is to check whether the latch has been opened or whether the connector has been separated. For example, customs will use lead seals to ensure that the goods contained in the ocean container are in full compliance with the customs documents to which they belong. For this reason, the customs will use a metal wire loop to connect its two ends with a sealed lead seal. The seal is also stamped to ensure that it cannot be replaced. In the medical field, lead seals are applied, for example, to sterile containers to check whether such sterile containers have been opened after sterilization, thereby ensuring that the containers contained therein are still safely sterile. Different types of seals are required for differen...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Another major problem with the seals and security mechanisms known to date is that people often cannot tell at first glance whether the seal has failed or is damaged

For example, in a ring-shaped seal, a damaged seal can also re-penetrate into the hole of the container. If the user does not look carefully, he may not notice that the hole has been damaged and thus fails.
