Definitions
- the present invention relates to a seal-locking mechanism intended for seal-locking of railway wagons and containers and other objects such as, for example, warehouses, depots, shops, trade pavillions, tanks, etc., and may be used for seal-locking of cargo transportable in railway wagons and containers, trucks and other transportation means, for seal-locking of hatches of, for example, refrigerators, grain freighters, vans and other automobiles.
- the present invention is made in order to solve the above problems included in the prior arts, and an object of this invention is to provide a seal-locking mechanism which, as compared to previously known devices of the same purpose, allows simplification of the manufacturing process, convenience and reliability during service and is re-usable when replacing only one part.
- a locking element is made in the form of a cylindrical rod having a sharpened end on one side and a head on the other side, wherein a part of a lateral surface of the cylindrical rod is made with unilaterally beveled serrations
- a fixing element is made in the form of at least two separate elements with an outer conical surface which conforms an inner conical surface made in a body and an inner surface O11 which unilaterally beveled serrations are made to contact with respective serrations of the locking element, said fixing elements are spring-loaded with respect to the body, a required information is applied to the face of the locking element head in close proximity to which, on a smooth cylindrical surface of the locking element, there is provided a ring-shaped boring, a cylindrical bushing is mounted above said boring with the possibility of turning over.
- the present seal-locking mechanism may be provided with a cap made with an outer cylindrical surface and a head which conform the outer cylindrical surface and the head of the body, said cap may be located on the body over bearing surfaces provided on the body and on the cap with the formation of a single outer cylindrical surface of the seal-locking mechanism, and the cap head comprises an inner cavity to locate therein said locking element head.
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the seal-locking mechanism
- FIG. 2 shows the same embodiment, but having an additional cap.
- a view of the present invention which comprises a body 1 with a head 2, a locking element 3 made in the form of a cylindrical headed rod 4 with a sharpened end 5 and with unilaterally beveled serrations 6, a fixing element 7 made in the form of at least two separate elements with an outer conical surface 8 which conforms an inner conical surface of the body 1, wherein unilaterally beveled serrations which conform unilaterally beveled serrations 6 of the locking element 3 are made on an inner surface of each fixing element 7.
- Said fixing elements 7 are spring-loaded with respect to the body 1 by means of a spring 9 and a washer 10 fixed with respect to the body 1. A required information is applied to the face of the head 4 of the locking element 3.
- the seal-locking mechanism may be provided with a cap 13 made with an outer cylindrical surface and a head 14 which conform the outer cylindrical surface and the head 2 of the body 1. Said cap 13 is located on the body 1 over bearing surfaces 15 provided on the cap 13 and on the body 1 with the formation of a single outer cylindrical surface of the body 1 and the cap 13.
- a maximal clearance between the abutting faces of the body 1 and the cap 13 may be determined by the pitch of a thread on the locking 3 and fixing 7 elements.
- the head 14 of the cap 13 there is provided an inner cavity 16 which conforms the head 4 of the locking element 3 to locate said head in this cavity when locking.
- the seal-locking mechanism is used as follows.
- fixing elements 7 are installed in a body 1 and are spring-loaded by means of a spring & and a washer 10 which is rigidly fixed with respect to the body 1 making it possible to create a nonseparable, re-usable construction.
- the body 1 with the fixing elements 7 is passed through lugs with one hand, whereas the other hand serves to insert into the body a locking element 3 with its sharpened end misaligning the fixing elements 7 along the longitudinal axis of the seal-locking mechanism.
- Said fixing elements 7, while moving apart, allow passing of the locking element 3 in the body 1 up to the moment of contact between unilaterally beveled serrations of the fixing elements 7 and similar serrations of the locking element 3.
- a cylindrical bushing 12 which end may be slightly rolled in a ring-shaped boring 11 made in close proximity to a head 4 of the locking element 3, is set on a cylindrical surface of the locking element 3 freely, with the possibility of turning over.
- the presence of such cylindrical bushing 12 creates an additional degree of protection in the case of unauthorised opening, for example, when attempting to saw up the locking element 3, since in this case the cylindrical bushing 12 will turn over and prevent such a sawing up.
- the ring-shaped boring 11 provided in close proximity, that is to say at the base of the head 4 of the locking element 3, allows determination of a purposely provided place of breaking-off the head 4 during an unauthorized opening of the seal-locking mechanism and allows definition of the breaking-off force with a structural determination of dimensions of said ring-shaped boring 11.
- the seal-locking mechanism additionally comprises a cap 13 which. in the same way as the fixing elements 7, is pre-set on the body 1 over bearing surfaces 15. Provision of the seal-locking mechanism with the cap 13 makes it possible to ensure a superior reliability of locking by the expense of strengthening the structure and allows the use for the purpose of locking various objects with lugs having fixed dimensions determined, in each particular case, by a total cylindrical surface of the body 1 and the cap 13.
