Patent ID: 7052055

Claim:
A fastening-type security seal comprising: a sealing body forming a tunnel containing at least one tooth; an elongate identification tag integral with the sealing body and having a first edge and a second edge opposite said first edge, said identification tag being formed with a weakening line which extends from said first edge to said second edge of said tag, dividing the tag into a first region on one side of said weakening line and a second region on the other side of said line; tearing means formed on said identification tag adjacent one of the ends of the said weakening line, which permit tearing of the tag, separating said first region from said second region; and an elongated fastening part having one end integral with said second edge of said identification tag and a second free end, a series of sealing formations being provided along the elongated fastening part, so that when the free end of said fastening part is inserted into the tunnel of the sealing body and pulled out at the other side of the tunnel, the sealing formations will be successively engaged with the tooth in a ratchet-like manner, preventing withdrawal of the elongated fastening part from the tunnel, wherein said sealing body is integral with said first region of said identification tag being attached thereto at said first edge of the tag, whereby said tag lies between the sealing body and the elongated fastening part, and wherein said first edge has a transverse width greater than the transverse width of said sealing body, wherein said identification tag is substantially rectangular shaped with said first and second edges defining first and second longitudinally spaced ends of the substantially rectangular shape identification tag, and first and second laterally spaced edge extensions of said identification tag defining remaining side portions of the substantially rectangular shaped identification tag, and that said weakening line extends from a point adjacent a junction between said first laterally spaced edge extension of the tag and one of said ends of the tag to a point adjacent a junction between the second opposite laterally spaced edge extension of the tag and the other end of the tag.
