Abstract

A closure (10) or a connection arrangement (10) and a security seal with such a closure (10) are made available. The closure (10) comprises a torsion spring element (22), arranged on an abutment (20), a cam (21) which is connected at one end to the torsion spring element (22) and protrudes radially beyond the torsion spring element (22) with respect to the axis of the torsion spring element (22), and a receiving body which comprises guide channel with restrictions. The restrictions (331, 332) form guides for the cam (21), and, when the cam (21) is inserted into the guide channel, they turn the torsion spring element (22) along a torsion path about the axis of the torsion spring element (22) and allow the latter to snap back at least partially after the torsion path.

Description

Closure or connection arrangement and security seal with closure

The present invention relates to a closure assembly and a security seal with closure.

Tamper indicating and / or tamper evident closures, respectively, and connector assemblies and seals equipped with such, so-called

 Security seals have a wide range of uses. They are characterized by the fact that after the first

Closure can not be opened non-destructively anymore. For example, they are used to

Protect transport containers or measuring equipment from unauthorized access.

Known security seals have, for example, a locking mechanism which is based on a cam being guided over a spring element and the spring element being hooked to the cam. A predetermined breaking point on the cam extension, whose strength is less than the holding force of the spring element, ensures that the seal can not be opened without destroying. She would break before the hooking of the cam would have broken loose. In order to prevent tampering attempts, access to the interior of the locking mechanism is as well protected as possible from external access. However, it succeeds this To circumvent protection, the entanglement can be solved and the seal manipulated in a manner that allows nondestructive opening.

The object of the present invention is to provide an alternative closure or alternative

To provide connection arrangement, in particular a closure or a closure assembly, which can not be opened or very difficult to open after closing.

 An alternative object is to provide an alternative security seal, in particular one

Security seal, which after closing no longer or only with great difficulty, in particular non-destructive, can be opened.

The object is achieved by a closure or a connection arrangement, which is arranged on an abutment torsion spring element, one with the

Torsionsfederelement terminally connected cam and a receiving body comprises. The cam projects beyond the torsion spring element with respect to the axis of the

Torsion spring element radially. The receiving body has a guide channel with boundaries, which form guides for the cam. The limitations ensure that when inserting the cam in the guide channel the

Torsionsfederelement is rotated along a torsion about the axis of the Torsionsfederelements and let the torsion spring element after the torsion

at least partially snap back.

 The abutment ensures that the torsion spring element, when the relative position of the cam is changed to the torsion spring element, actually undergoes a torsion and not just join in the change in position of the cam. Under a torsion spring element is for example a

To understand rod-shaped spring, such as a so-called

Torsion bar, also known as torsion bar or torsion bar. Under the axis of such a torsion spring element

one understands the cylinder axis, regardless of whether it is the torsion spring element is a circular cylinder, an elliptical cylinder or prisms with an example polygonal cross-section. "Radially overhanging" means in this context that the cam extends beyond the torsion bar not only in the axial direction, which is automatically the case, since the cam is connected terminally to the torsion spring element, but also that the cam the torsion bar in any other, deviates from the axial direction. This can only be the case at one or more points, one-sided, two-sided and / or around. The radial projection forms after passing through the torsion a kind

Barb, which prevents the cam against the direction of insertion can be introduced into the guide channel. The boundaries can be of various types. For example, it may be laterally arranged ramps or grooves, alternatively, it may also be a kind of tunnel, which has a helical course whose cross-section at the maximum Cross-section of the cam oriented. It is crucial that the boundaries force a change in position of the cam relative to the axis of the torsion spring element, which in turn forces a torsion of the Torsionsfederelements and tension it so. The limitations that are capable of forming the so-called torsion.

If the cam is pushed completely beyond these limits, then the cam can at least partially return to its original position relative to the axis of the

Return torsion spring element. The tension in the

tensioned torsion spring element is released, the cam snaps back downright and comes to rest behind the limits or, these can no longer overcome and so not be introduced into the guide channel. The closure or the connection arrangement is closed.

 As far as the choice of material is concerned, for example, plastics, in particular thermoplastics, but also metals or, for example, are suitable for the closure or connection arrangement. a combination of metal and plastic come into question.

Below is mainly spoken of closure, but also meant the connection arrangement, if not expressly excluded.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Closure, which with each of the still to be named

Embodiments can be combined, if not in the Contrary to this, at least one of the guides for the cam-forming boundaries has a variable height. This is in particular an increasing and / or decreasing height along the torsion path.

 A variable height of the limit ensures that the cam along the torsion on this

Limitation facing side is raised or lowered, thus forcing a torsion of the Torsionsfederelements. Is it a cam, which the

Torsion spring element radially projecting on two sides, care must be taken that the other boundary gives enough room for a change in position of the cam and, at best, the position change supported by an opposite one

Height change.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Closure, which with each of the already mentioned

Embodiments and with each of the yet to be named

Embodiments may be combined, unless contradicted, has a first of the guides for the cam-forming boundaries along the

Torsionsstrecke increasing and / or decreasing height. A second of the guides for the cam-forming and the first boundary boundary opposite has along the torsion a contrary to the first boundary variable height.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Closure, which with each of the already mentioned Embodiments and with each of the yet to be named

Embodiments may be combined, unless contradicted, forms at least one of the guides for the cam-forming boundaries a screw surface.

If the boundary is designed as a helical surface, then the cam can be particularly evenly and easily

Torsionsstrecke happen.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Closure, which with each of the already mentioned

Embodiments and with each of the yet to be named

Embodiments can be combined, unless contradicted, the guide channel has a

Height limit, which limits in particular a lifting of the cam.

 On the one hand, such a height limitation can ensure that the cam can not "break out", that is to say, e.g. unilaterally experienced increase or decrease not

can dodge by raising or lowering completely and thus would force no torsion in Torsionsfederelement. On the other hand, a height limit, for example, following the torsion, ensure that the cam after it is snapped back, not more

can be raised and introduced into the guide channel. Generally, a height limit of any kind must not necessarily attach to the cam, but can also attack on the abutment or the torsion spring element. In an inventive embodiment of the closure, which with each of the already mentioned

Embodiments and with each of the yet to be named

Embodiments can be combined, unless contradicted, the guide channel has more

Limitations on. These are, for example, upstream of the torsion section and / or form, for example, another guide for the cam (21) and / or form, for example, a receptacle for the abutment.

 Such further limitations facilitate the insertion of the cam in the torsion and thus ensure better and safer handling. Also can more

Limitations prevent manipulation by complicating the unwanted access to the torsion or even prevent it.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Closure, which with each of the already mentioned

Embodiments and with each of the yet to be named

Embodiments may be combined, unless contradicted, the guide channel comprises a

Blocking element. This blocks the execution of the once inserted cam from the guide channel.

The blocking element can for example be formed directly by the boundaries which ensure that the torsion spring element is rotated along the torsion path and which allow the torsion spring element to snap back at least partially after the torsion distance. Also, a specially designed element can be arranged, which is activated for example only from the outside. It is conceivable, for example, a pen, which only after

Activation from the outside (such as push pin) moves upwards, thus restricting the freedom of movement of the cam. Also, a bracket is e.g. U-shaped conceivable, the size of which is based on the cross section of the Torsionsfederelements and encloses this, thereby preventing that the cam which projects radially beyond the Torsionsfederelement, the

Clamp can pass and so the cam only a maximum until reaching the clamp in the guide channel

can be withdrawn. Blocking element can also serve as further barriers against manipulation and / or serve as a height limit.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Closure, which with each of the already mentioned

Embodiments and with each of the yet to be named

Embodiments may be combined, unless contradicted, the Aufnähmekörper comprises locking means. These locking means allow e.g. the latching with a receiving body at least partially surrounding

Housing. The housing may also comprise locking means, in particular complementary locking means.

 Such locking means can be formed for example by projections and recesses, locking cams, ..., tongue and groove joints and the like. In particular, they allow the attachment of a protection,

for example in the form of a housing for the

Receiving body, in particular for the guide channel. So can a manipulation be prevented. Also, the protection may be at least partially transparent, so that an occurred manipulation can be detected.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Closure, which with each of the already mentioned

Embodiments may be combined, unless contradicted, the receiving body comprises a

Spring element. This supports in particular the

at least partially snapping back the cam and / or guiding the cam in the guide channel. Next, the spring element can form a boundary, which is an introduction of the cam against the direction of insertion into the

Guide channel impeded or prevented.

 In the spring element, also called position spring, it is, for example, a leaf spring. The spring element may e.g. work as described below. By inserting the cam in the guide channel pivots the spring element. After the cam has covered the torsion and the torsion spring element itself

at least partially relaxed and thereby the relative position of the cam to the axis of the Torsionsfederelements the original position before passing through the

Torsionsstrecke approaches again, the springs before

swung spring element back, helping the cam, its original position, at least partially, take again. The spring element can also do so

be formed so that it exerts a pressure on the cam in the insertion direction, and thus guiding the cam in the Guide channel, in particular along the torsion, supported. In addition, the spring element can also be designed so that it serves as a limit for the cam and prevents it against the

Guide back into the guide channel can be introduced, for example. In the form of a height limit, which prevents lifting of the cam. The spring element thus acts as a stop for the cam.

The alternative object is achieved by a

Safety seal with a closure, which comprises a torsion spring element arranged on an abutment, a cam which is connected terminally to the torsion spring element and a receiving body. The cam projects beyond the torsion spring element with respect to the axis of the

Torsion spring element radially. The receiving body has a guide channel with boundaries, which form guides for the cam. The limitations ensure that when inserting the cam in the guide channel the

Torsionsfederelement is rotated along a torsion about the axis of the Torsionsfederelements and leave the Torsionsfederelement after the torsion

at least partially snap back.

In particular, in the case of the security seal, the abutment is connected directly or indirectly to the receiving body and not only by closing the closure. If the shutter is then closed, then closes a circle. Furthermore, the object is achieved by a security seal with a closure which corresponds to one of the abovementioned embodiments or a combination thereof.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Security seal, which can be combined with any of the embodiments to be mentioned, unless contradicted, the security seal one

Base on which both the receiving body and the abutment is arranged.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Security Seal, which with each of the aforementioned embodiments and with each of the yet to be named

Embodiments may be combined, unless contradicted, the receiving body is over a

Predetermined breaking point directly or indirectly connected to the abutment and / or the abutment is directly or indirectly via an extension directly or indirectly articulated with the

Receiving body connected.

 The connection of the receiving body with the abutment on a predetermined breaking point has the advantage that any

Manipulations on the receiving body, eg. On a

Protection (e.g., housing, casing, skirt, ...) of the

Shooting body, can be recognized as the

Breakage point breaks as soon as the receiving body undergoes too much force. Direct or indirect means that the abutment and the receiving body either

indirectly connected via the predetermined breaking point, or just indirectly, that is, there are other links in between, such as the main body. The

For example, receiving body can be arranged on the base body via a predetermined breaking point, the abutment, in turn, is for example directly connected to the base body. Also, the abutment on a predetermined breaking point on the body

be arranged and the receiving body to be connected to the body, with or without predetermined breaking point in between.

The abutment can be connected directly to the receiving body or body in a manner that allows a hinged movement of the abutment, for example. Via a hinge. But the abutment can not directly, but indirectly with the

Receiving body / body be connected via a bracket or arm, which is essentially an extension of the abutment. Such arm / bracket is then by means of a hinge connection on

Receiving body / body arranged.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Security Seal, which with each of the aforementioned embodiments and with each of the yet to be named

Embodiments can be combined, if not in contradiction thereto, the articulated connection comprises a spring element, in particular a tension spring element.

Such a spring element ensures, for example, that a tension or a tension is exerted on the abutment or on the arm / stirrup which prevents the abutment together with the torsion spring element and the cam from arising to move the receiving body. Thus, accidental closure or incomplete closure can be avoided.

In an inventive embodiment of the

Security seal, which can be combined with any of the aforementioned embodiments, unless contradicted, the abutment comprises a

Closing plate. This encases the abutment, for example, along at least one section completely.

 The advantage of such a closure plate is that it can hinder access to the guide channel or even close it once the closure is closed. Thus, also a manipulation can be prevented. For example, it can be designed to be a

Insertion opening of the receiving body or this

surrounding housing for the cam obstructed or

closes.

To close a closure or a

Safety seal, the cam is inserted into the guide channel and reaches the torsion. Its position relative to the axis of the Torsionsfederelements undergoes a change, for example. By the cam along a

Screw surface out or on one side of a ramp up or down is performed. The torsion spring undergoes a torsion, is stretched. The cam passes completely through the entire torsion path. After the cam has overcome the torsion, the cam returns at least partially in its initial position relative to the axis of the Torsionsfederelements back, supported by the force which is released at least partially relaxing the Torsionsfederelements.

The schematically illustrated in the figures la-c

Embodiment of a closure 10 according to the invention comprises a guide channel 31 into which a cam 21 connected via a torsion spring element 22 to an abutment (not shown) is introduced. The schematic illustrations show the view in the

Guide channel 31 in the direction of insertion (ie in the image planes inside) during various stages of the closing process.

In Fig. La it can be seen how the cam 21, which in the embodiment shown here, the torsion spring element 22 only on one side radially beyond, in the guides for the cam 21 forming boundaries 331, 332 of Guide channel 31 is introduced. A first limit 332 ensures that the first side of the cam 21 attached to the torsion spring element 22 can not be lifted, a second limit 331 ensures that the cam 21 is raised on the opposite second side.

In Fig. Lb can be seen how the height of the second

Limiting 331 increases in the insertion direction, thus leading to a stronger increase of the second side of the cam 21 and thus to a torsion of the Torsionsfederelements 22.

Fig. Lc shows the closure 10 in the closed state. The cam 21 has been so far in the guide channel 31st

introduced that it completely surmounted the second boundary 331. Thus, the torsion spring member 22 is no longer forced into a twisted speaking stressed position and can snap back into a non-twisted speak relaxed starting position using the spring force of the previously

tensioned torsion spring element 22. From this relaxed position, it is not possible, the cam 21 against the direction of insertion back into the guide channel 31st

contribute. The second boundary 331 acts as a barrier blocking retraction, whereas the first

Limiter 332 prevents the cam 21 from being raised and thus passing over the second boundary 331. The embodiment of a closure 10 according to the invention shown schematically in FIGS. 2a-c also comprises a guide channel 31 into which a cam 21 connected via a torsion spring element 22 to an abutment (not shown) is introduced. The schematic illustrations show the view in the

Guide channel 31 in the direction of insertion (ie in the image plane) during various stages of the

Closing process. The cam 21 projects beyond this

Torsionsfederelement 22 two-sided radially in us

Essentially symmetrical, so that the torsion spring element 22 is arranged centrally on the cam 21. The guide channel 31 has a first, in this embodiment two-part boundary 332a, 332b and a second boundary 331. The two-part first boundary 332a, 332b forms a guide groove, which runs in opposite directions to the second boundary 331. In the direction of insertion, the first runs

Limit 332 from top to bottom, whereas the second boundary 331 increases in height and thus extends from bottom to top. Of course, the course just described vice versa possible. The first

Limiting 332 a, 332 b prevents the torsion spring element 22 by generally raising the cam 21 of a torsion can avoid by preventing both of the cam 21 can be lifted by the second boundary 331.

Fig. 2c shows the closure 10 in the closed state. The second boundary 331 has a step toward the end (Not visible in this view), which on the one hand ensures that the position of the cam 21 is stabilized together with a part of the first boundary 332b.

And on the other hand ensures that the cam 21, after it is snapped back into the starting position, can not be introduced against the direction of insertion into the guide channel 31. This is further prevented by a

Blocking element 336, which prevents lifting of the cam 21.

Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of a

Embodiment of a closure according to the invention 10. Left in the picture is the abutment 20 for the

Torsionsfederelement 22 to see on which the cam 21 is arranged. On the right of the image, a first boundary 332, a second boundary 331 and a third boundary 333 can be seen, wherein the first boundary 332 and the second boundary 331 cause the torsion spring element 22 to undergo a torsion. The first boundary 332 and the second boundary 331 form the torsion path, so to speak. The object of the third limitation is primarily to prevent the cam 21, once it has been pushed once over the first and second boundary 332, 331, can not be raised to be introduced against the direction of insertion into the guide channel. In addition, the closure 10 comprises further delimitations 334, 335. These ensure, in particular, that the cam 21 is securely guided to the torsion-causing boundaries. In the example shown, the further limitation resembles 335 an archway that represents like an insertion opening of the guide channel. The further limit 334 is in two parts and forms lateral guides parallel to the insertion direction. All boundaries 331, 332, 333, 334, 335 are arranged on a receiving body, which is not explicitly shown in this figure for clarity. In this embodiment, the in

Introductory direction (symbolized by the below the boundary 331 drawn arrow, that is, in this illustration from left to right) higher becoming first and second boundaries 332, 331 as a blocking element. In the second boundary 332, the height increases from below, whereas the height of the first boundary 331 increases from above, so that the cam 21 is transferred from the horizontal position to an oblique position in the course of the guide channel.

FIG. 4 shows a plan view of that shown in FIG

Embodiment of a closure 10 according to the invention. However, the first boundary is not visible in this representation, since this is the third boundary 333

is covered. Further drawn are the sections A-A, B-B, C-C, D-D and E-E, which correlate with Figures 5a to 5e.

In FIGS. 5a to 5e, it should be noted that all

Elements are drawn semi-transparent, so too

Recognizable elements that could not actually be visible because they are obscured by other elements, if you take the sections AA, BB, CC, DD and EE in

Introductory direction.

Fig. 5a shows the view in the insertion direction along the section A-A. On average, it is easy to see

Receiving body 30, on which u.a. the others

Limits 334 and 335 are arranged. Further to be recognized is the third boundary 333, the abutment 20, the torsion spring element 22 and the cam 21st

Fig. 5b shows the view in the insertion direction along the section B-B. Good to see in this section is the receiving body 30, the cam 21 with Torsionsfederelement 22, the limit 333 and the other two-part

Limit 334.

Fig. 5c shows the view in the insertion direction along the section C-C. Well visible in this section is the receiving body 30, the cam 21 with Torsionsfederelement 22 and the limit 333. The other two-part

Limitation 334, however, is no longer visible.

Fig. 5d shows the view in the insertion direction along the section D-D. In this section are, in addition to the

Receiving body 30, the cam 21 and the limit 333, the first time the first boundary 332 and the second boundary 331 to see. Fig. 5e shows the view in the insertion direction along the section EE. The cam is no longer visible in this section, but the first and second delimitations 332 331 are clearly visible, whose height has increased in comparison to FIG. 5 d, that is, in the direction of insertion.

Fig. 6a shows a perspective view of a

Embodiment of a security seal 1 according to the invention in the open state. The security seal 1 has a base body 50. At this are both, directly or indirectly, the receiving body and the abutment 20 with Torsionsfederelement 22 and cam 21 are arranged. Further, the main body 50 may have a tab 51, which may serve as a labeling field, for example. The flap and the base body can also be molded in one piece, so that the lobes and base body are in one piece, ie form a part, and thus need not be differentiated between the flap and the base body. The flap can be used to provide information of any kind through printing, laser engraving, labeling or the like. But above all, in order to customize the security seal 1, for example, by numbering, and thereby manipulation through exchange

prevent. Also, the housing 35 for the

Receiving body of the security seal 1 marked so that it can be clearly assigned to the rest of the security seal. This prevents manipulation by replacing components of the security seal. The housing 35 is designed to hold the receiving body

completely surrounds, but has an opening 32 which allows the insertion of the cam 21. Arranged on the base 50 is the arm 40, which in this example is hinged at one end, e.g. a film hinge is connected. Thus, the arm 40 can be tilted or folded. A tension spring 41 ensures that the arm 40 can be folded down only under the action of force. Arranged on the arm 40 is the abutment 20 for the torsion spring element 22. The abutment 20 also comprises one, this completely enclosing, closure plate 42.

Fig. 6b shows a perspective view of a

Embodiment of a security seal 1 according to the invention in the closed state. It can be clearly seen how the closure plate 42 arranged on the arm 40 covers the opening 32 of the housing 35 in order to allow access from outside to the closure area or the guide channel of the housing

Prevent receiving body. The main body 50 arranged tension spring 41 is stretched. The over one

Hinge on the base 50 arranged arm 40 folded down.

Fig. 6c shows a perspective view of the interior of an embodiment of an inventive

Safety seal 1 in open condition and before mounting the housing. By applying a force to the arm 40, the terminal-mounted cam 21 in the direction of Guide channels of the receiving body 30 and the

Guide channel forming boundaries 331, 332 moves. The security seal 1 can be closed with one hand. For this purpose, the arm 40 should be sufficiently high

Have stability. This can e.g. by attaching transverse ribs on the arm 40 and / or by attaching the arm 40 to the body 50 via a hinge. One in the region of the hinge, e.g. a film hinge attached tension spring 41 prevents the arm 40 can remain in a position in which the security seal 1 just not completely

is closed. Thus, a manipulation can be excluded by a so-called sham. If the cam 21 strikes the boundaries 331, 332, is caused by the opposite inlet slopes of the boundaries 331,

332 a torque applied to the cam 21. The

Torque is transmitted to the torsion spring member 22, which undergoes deformation in the Hooke's area. In the course of further movement of the cam 21 passes over the boundaries 331, 332 and the torsion spring member 22 springs back to its original position, whereby the cam 21 also rotates to its original position and the security seal 1 closes. The security seal 1 further comprises a predetermined breaking point 70 which is arranged on the main body 50 and connects the receiving body 30 to the main body 50. Since a force which exceeds the strength of the predetermined breaking point 70 would have to be expended for opening the housing surrounding the receiving body 30 destroyed in a removal attempt of the housing 35, the security seal and along the predetermined breaking point 70 break in two. To see further is one

Position spring 34, whose operation is described in more detail below Fig. 6d. The same applies to the upper one

Closure cam 61 and the lower closure cam 62. The closer function is explained with reference to Figures 7a and 7b.

Fig. 6d shows a perspective view of the interior of an embodiment of an inventive

Security seal 1 in the closed state, for example, the security seal of Fig. 6b but without housing. You can see, among other things, a position spring 34 in the folded state. The position spring 34 is in the assembly of the housing, from the starting position, shown in Fig. 6c, in the end position, seen in Fig. 6d, folded and held by the housing in the end position. After mounting the housing, the security seal 1 is in

Delivery state, visible in Fig. 6a. In the Fig.

6d, the housing is not shown for clarity, however. The position spring 34 is deformed during the closing process and helps to spring back the cam 21 to its original position.

This prevents possible pre-manipulation of the

Safety seal 1. Would the cam 21 before the

Closure be twisted so much through that

Overstretching of the torsion bar 22, the cam 21 could not return to its original position, so a proper closure would be prevented and the

Security seal 1 may be opened non-destructively can be. By the position spring 34 of the cam 21 is also brought after such Vormanipulation in the correct position and the security seal 1 so reliably closed, that, in an opening attempt, the seal would be destroyed by breaking the Torsionsfederelements 22.

Fig. 7a shows a perspective view of a housing 35 of an embodiment of an inventive

Safety seal before its assembly. The section A-A is shown in Fig. 7b. During assembly, the housing 35, which is open towards one side, is connected to this side opening 36 via the closure region or the receiving body of the housing

Security seal pushed. In this case, for example, the molded-in projections 80 (see FIG. 7b) of the

Housing 35 with the upper closure cam 61 and the lower closure cam 62 of the receiving body of

Security seal (see Fig. 6c). To any

Voranipulationen make the housing 35 may be made of a transparent material. So can changes to the security seal before the

Close or be detected in closed condition.

FIG. 7b shows a section AA through the perspective view of the housing 35 shown in FIG. 7a. The projections 80, which ensure locking with the receiving body and thus attaching the housing 35 to the base body of the security seal, are clearly recognizable. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
