IDENTIFICATION DEVICE AND ONE PIECE SECURITY SEAL FOR USE THEREWITH

摘要

An identification device such as a bracelet is described having a first bracelet portion (2) of a strip (1) and a second identification portion (3) of the strip to show the identification information. The first portion is formed with a plurality of transfer ribs (6) for adjusting the size of the loop formed when the first portion (2) is fixed by a security seal (5) to the free end of the second portion (3). This end of the second portion is provided with a tongue (4) on which one may write the said information and which may be doubled back and inserted into a transparent pocket (9) formed on the second portion (3), the doubled region (13) of the tongue (4) being caught within the seal when the seal is closed. Inside the seal there are three protuberances (19, 20, 21) which, in the closed position, are side by side and equally spaced from each other, the protuberances squeezing the first portion (2) of the seal and the ribs (6) co-operating to prevent sliding of said first portion out of the seal.
