Automatically locking customs seal for transporter doors

摘要

The sealing device comprises male (1) and female (2) parts. The male part has an elongated body whose top end forms a stop (4) and the other end a ferrule (5) having locking grooves (11). The male part is assembled by ratcheting with the female part, formed from a sheath with an opening (8) and taking an internal automatically locking part (10). This locking part fastens in one of the male grooves when the male is introduced into the female part. The male body is constituted from a coiled iron wire (3) which is covered by a translucent plastic material with a central part (7) allowing its identification. The female part has opened sections (9) allowing total visibility of the male and the customs identification (12). The coiled wire in its non covered parts has zones (6) which are irreversibly deformed when pulled, signalling fraudulent attempts.
