Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tamper-evident label holder, in particular to a tamper-proof address holder for bags, for example postal bags and other similar objects, serving both as a sealing or sealing device and as a carrier device. information.
- the label holder comprises a first part or housing comprising a device for fixing the two ends of a string of suitable length, and a rotary hook device which can be locked in rotation by the second part of said label holder , this second part forming a cover for the first part.
- the second part moves in grooves made in opposite side walls of said first part so as to form with said first part a practically closed space in which an address label can be placed and / or a message label, said second part comprising means receiving a sealing device immobilizing it in the closed position of the label holder.
- the label holder shown in the drawing can for example be used to close postal bags and indicate the postal sector to which they must be routed. However, many other uses can be expected.
- the label holder according to the present invention essentially comprises two parts 1 and 2 forming, when assembled, a housing having substantially the shape of a flat rectangular parallelepiped.
- Part 1 or housing consists of a bottom wall 3 having a substantially rectangular shape, two longitudinal side walls 4 and 5, the ends 4a, 5a of said walls 4, 5 having a height slightly greater than that of the rest of these walls 4, 5 of an upper wall 6 of small width connecting together the upper ends of the parts 4a, 5a of the side walls 4 and 5, and of a front side wall 7 located on the side of the wall 6 and comprising a opening 7a offset towards the side wall 5.
- All the parts referenced 3 to 7 of the housing 1 can be made of rigid plastic or similar material, preferably transparent, for example plexiglass, to allow the EM label carrying a message to be seen. and disposed against the bottom wall 3, inside the label holder. However, this label holder can be made of another material, even a non-transparent material, if necessary providing a window in the bottom wall 3 to allow said EM label to be seen.
- Longitudinal grooves 8, 9 are made in the inner faces of the side walls 4 and 5 intended to cooperate with corresponding tongues or projections of the cover 2 as explained below.
- Part 1 of the label holder also includes a removable device 10 for adjusting the length of the string 11 and a rotary hook 12.
- the device 10 for adjusting the length of the string essentially consists of a block 13 of substantially parallelepipedal shape guided between the side wall 4 and a longitudinal projection 14 formed on the bottom wall 3, parallel to the wall 4, as well as by part of the upper wall 6 under which it engages.
- This block 13 comes into abutment against the wall 7 and is applied firmly against it when, the length of the string being properly adjusted, the bag S on the neck of which the label holder of the invention is placed is correctly closed, as explained below.
- the block 13 of the device 10 has a length (prized in the longitudinal direction of the housing 1) such that it is immobilized in translation by the cover 2 when the latter is in the closed position and that the block 13 is in abutment against the wall 7.
- the block 13 may have a length less than said length.
- the block 13 of the adjusting device 10 comprises, in one of its main faces, a recess 15 in the form of a meander, the different branches of which have substantially parallel walls, the width of these branches corresponding substantially to the diameter of the string 11, recesses 16 of cylindrical shape having a diameter slightly greater than the width of said branches of the meander 15 being formed from distance to distance in the meander 15, these recesses 16 being intended to cooperate with an appropriate stop device 17 fixed simultaneously to the two ends of the string 11 and having dimensions allowing it to be housed in the recesses 16 without being able to pass through the meander 15.
- the rotary hook device 12 essentially comprises two parts 19, 20 interconnected by an intermediate part 21 having substantially the shape of a straight section of cylinder whose height is practically equal to the thickness of the wall 6 at which it find.
- the rotary hook 12 is produced in a single piece, for example by molding plastic material.
- Part 19 consists of a pulley 22, the groove of which is sufficient to guide the two arms of the string 11 when the latter is folded in the form of a hairpin, and a radial appendage 23 in the form of a hook. projecting practically halfway up the pulley 22, the opening of this hook being directed to the right when this hook is in the position shown in FIG. 1, this hook 23 being intended to receive the end loop of the string 11 when the latter is folded in the shape of a hairpin.
- the height of the pulley 22 is slightly less than the height of the space between the walls 3 and 6 of the housing 1, so as to allow the pulley 22 to rotate under the wall 6.
- the upper part 20 of the rotary hook 12 has substantially the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, one end of which has a transverse counterbore 24 with a U-shaped section with a flat bottom, the center of said parallelepiped being on or near the axis of the pulley 22, the location of said counterbore 24 being determined as explained below.
- the device 12 is movable in rotation about an axis 12a fixed on the wall 3, at a location determined so that the hook 23 can pass through the opening 7a of the wall 7 during the rotation of the device 12, that this hook protrudes sufficiently from the housing 1 so that the string 11 can be easily hung on it, and the hook 23 abuts against the inner face of the wall 7 at the end of the device 12 closing rotation.
- the longitudinal axis of the parallelepiped 20 and the axis of the hook 23 form an angle between them of approximately 110 °, but this angle may vary slightly, for example as a function of the position of the rotary hook 12 relative to the wall 3, this angle being such that at the end of the closing rotation of the device 12, when the hook 23 abuts against the wall 7, the longitudinal axis of the parallelepiped 20 is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing 1.
- the cover 2 has a flat rectangular main wall 25, two side walls 26, 27 extending along the long sides of the wall 25 and under it, a front wall 28 extending along a short side of the rectangular wall 25 below it, and an upper wall 29 of substantially rectangular shape extending along the other short side of the wall 25, parallel to this wall 25 and above it, these two walls 25 and 29 connecting practically in the manner of two successive stair treads. It will be noted that the free front face of the wall 25 immobilizes in translation the block 13 of the adjustment device 10, when the label holder of the invention is closed.
- the lateral walls 26 and 27 of the cover 2 have, at their lower part, external longitudinal tongues 30, 31 engaging in the grooves 8 and 9 respectively, and internal longitudinal tongues 30a, 31a forming, with the lower face of the wall 25 grooves 30b, 31b respectively.
- These grooves 30b, 31b being intended to receive an address label EA on which the address or the postal sector to which the postal bag S is to be sent is marked.
- the side walls 26 and 27 have a height such that the upper surface of the main wall 25 is at the level of the edge or upper face of the side walls 4 and 5 of the housing 1, while the height of the wall 28 is such that its edge or lower face arrives at the level of the lower main face of the housing 1, so as to obtain between the wall 25 of the cover 2 and the housing 1 a parallelepiped interior space completely closed on five sides, only the sixth side of this space, side turned towards the adjusting device 10 and the rotary hook 12, being open.
- the wall 29 of the cover 2 has a generally planar shape and comprises, on the upper face of its part lying between the rotary hook 12 and the side wall 5, 5a of the housing 1 when the cover 2 is in place on the housing 1, a projection 32 in the form of a rectangular parallelepided comprising, on its face facing the rotary hook device 12, two recesses 32a, 32b of parallelepiped shape and parallel to each other.
- the longitudinal axes of these two recesses 32a, 32b are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cover 2, and these two recesses are separated by a partition 33.
- the openings of the recesses 32a, 32b extend from the partition 33 but are narrower than these recesses (in the direction of the main longitudinal axis of the cover 2), so as to leave on the opposite extreme edges of these openings small portions of walls 34, 35 behind which hang the tabs d hooking 36, 37 of the seal 38, the openings of the recesses 32a, 32b being located just opposite the counterbore 24 of the rotary hook device 12 so as to allow the engagement of the seal 38 in these openings when the hook 12 is in the closed position, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the wall 29 also has on its front face opposite to the face fixed on the wall 25 a substantially semi-circular recess 29a intended for the passage of the intermediate tie 21 of the device 12.
- the wall 29 also has, at the lower part of its lateral faces 40, 41 (parallel to the lateral walls 26, 27) tongues 42, 43 respectively, cooperating with grooves 44, 45 formed in the wall parts 4a, 5a respectively.
- the width (taken in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cover 2) of the wall 29 is such that the free front face of this wall 29 abuts against the front face of the wall 6 making it vis-à-vis when the label holder is closed.
- the seal 38 made for example from molded plastic, has a body 39 in the form of a rectangular plate, the maximum width of which corresponds substantially to that of the counterbore 24, the two attachment tabs 36, 37 projecting longitudinally on a front face this body 39.
- Each of these two legs 36, 37 has a general V-shape, these two legs being arranged side by side, the branches closest to these two Vs placed side by side being parallel to each other and slightly longer than the free arms of these two Vs, the ends of these longest arms being connected to said front face from which they project.
- the distance separating the two parallel branches from each other of said V is substantially equal to the thickness of the wall 32.
- the length of said attachment tabs 36 and 37 is such that the free ends of their free branches come to bear against the faces .
- the label holder described above is very easy to use. First of all, it is ensured that the length of the free part of the string 11 is correct, and, if necessary, it is adjusted by modifying the position of the stop device 17 inside the adjustment device. 10 so that this string correctly encloses the neck of the corresponding bag S when the label holder is in the closed position. Since in most cases the label holder of the present invention is used for a large number of identical bags, the length of the string can be preset once and for all for a large series of identical bags. The address label EA is then placed in the grooves 30b, 31b, then the message label on the bottom of the housing 1, these two labels obviously having to be visible from the outside.
- the string 11 being folded back in the form of a hairpin or flattened loop, this string is placed around the neck of the bag S and it is hung on the hook 23, the rotary hook device 12 being, of course, in the position shown in FIG. 1, that is to say that the hook 23 is located outside the housing 1.
- the rotary hook device 12 is rotated about 3/4 of a turn clockwise (the label holder being viewed from above) and this, until the hook 23 abuts against the inner face of the wall 7, the twine winding in the groove of the pulley 22.
- the twine 11 grips the neck of the bag S. slide the tabs 30, 31 of the cover 2 into the grooves 8, 9 of the housing 1 until the housing is completely closed.
- the upper part 20 of the rotary hook device 12 is then immobilized in rotation against the projection 32.
- the hooking lugs 36, 37 of the seal 38 are inserted into the recesses 32a, 32b of the projection 32.
- the label holder of the present invention is very easy to set up and remove, only the seal being to be replaced after each use.
- the fasteners of the lugs 36, 37 advantageously comprise a weakening zone (not shown) facilitating the breaking of the seal 38.
- the seal 38 can be produced from a practically non-stick material.
