Improvements in Seal Padlocks
Year: 1899

page_text: I, JOHN TOURTEL, of 67, Aldersgate Street, in the City of London, Consulting
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the design and construction of seal
padlocks such as are described in my Patent No. 479 of 1895 whereby such
padlocks are rendered applicable for sealing purposes where wire and lead seals
are already employed.
For this purpose I provide a hasp separate from the lock instead of hinged to
it as in the patent above mentioned. At one end of the said hasp I provide a pin
of such a size as is required to pass through the sealing hole of the object to be
sealed. The said pin also passes through holes in the seal frame and case of the
lock thus assisting to secure the frame to the case. The other end of the hasp is
made in the form of a hook so as to engage with the spring catch of the lock.
The remainder of the lock is constructed in a similar manner to that described in
my aforesaid patent.

The said pin also passes through holes in the seal-frame B and the case A of the
lock (as shown in Figure 3) thus assisting to secure the frame to the case.
other end of the hasp D is made in the form of a hook D¹ so as to engage with
the spring catch E of the lock. The remainder of the lock is constructed in a

lock is also similar.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-

securing a hinged seal-frame B substantially as and for the purpose described
and illustrated.
4. In seal padlocks the combination of a detachable hasp D or equivalent
passing through and securing a hinged seal-frame B together with a spring-
catch E engaging with the said hasp substantially as and for the purpose described
and illustrated.
5. In seal padlocks the combination of a detachable hasp D or equivalent, a
spring-catch E, a hinged seal-frame B secured by the hasp, and the lock-scals
or screens, substantially as and for the purpose described and illustrated.
