Patent ID: 8733805

Claim:
A security seal body assembly comprising a locking insert; an outer body; said outer body having an upper end, a central cavity having an opening facing said upper end, and a cavity bottom, and a central guide having opposed sides located centrally within the cavity arising upwardly from the cavity bottom; said central guide having along a side thereof at least an upper and a lower locking abutment vertically spaced apart from each other and projecting distally from said one side, said locking abutments having locking finger engaging surfaces on lower sides thereof; said locking insert including a first and second downwardly extending leg and a central opening between the legs; a first and second locking finger each having a distal end and being connected in a cantilever manner at an end opposite said distal end to the second leg in spaced apart relationship along said second leg, and extending from the second leg in an upwardly diagonal direction toward the central opening; said locking fingers being configured to be resiliently bendable laterally to a sufficient extent under lateral applied force to permit lateral movement of their respective distal ends from at-rest positions and to return to said at-rest positions after removal of said lateral applied force; said locking insert having a main body central wall to which the first and second legs are attached and from which the first and second legs extend downwardly; said central wall, first and second legs and locking fingers being configured to be received and to fit closely within said central cavity with the first and second legs disposed on opposite sides of said central guide in juxtaposed relationship; the distal ends of said first and second locking fingers being configured to be respectively juxtaposed said locking finger engaging surfaces from below said upper and lower locking abutments when the locking insert is fully received in said central cavity, thereby resisting any motion of the locking insert in a direction of withdrawal upwardly from the central cavity.
