    Seal for containers. Object of the invention.
    The object of the present invention comprising: a housing containing retention means of a flexible element in a closed position, wherein said flexible element together forms a closed loop with the housing; and means for detecting the opening of the seal.
    This seal has the particularity of incorporating a simple and economical mechanical system that causes the breakage of an electronic device incorporated in the seal, when the cut or violation of said seal occurs. Field of application of the invention.
    This invention is applicable in the field dedicated to the manufacture of security seals. State of the art
    Currently, seals for containers that have a chip are known. When the loaded container leaves a port or loading area, it passes through an arc that reads the chip and if the seal has been altered or manipulated the arc emits an indication signal that the container has been tampered with.
    At present, a system that requires high precision and handling when manufactured is being used in these seals. It is about putting a very thin plastic paper so that if the seal is manipulated, the paper is broken and consequently it stops making contact with the chip circumstance that emits a signal that it has been manipulated.
    The technical problem that arises is the development of a seal for containers that has a much simpler and more economical mechanical system that causes the breakage of an electronic device incorporated in the seal, when the cut or violation of said seal occurs. Description of the invention
    The container seal object of this invention comprises a housing containing retention means of a flexible element in a closed position, in which said flexible closing element together with the housing forms a closed loop and cutting detection means. or fraudulent manipulation thereof; presenting said seal characteristics oriented to satisfactorily solve the problem set forth above.
    In accordance with the invention and as the purpose of solving the problem set forth above, this seal comprises:
    a flexible closure element, of tubular configuration, having a first end housed in a first cavity of the seal and a second end configured to be introduced into a passage provided with retaining means of said second end in a closed position of the seal;
    a cable housed inwardly inside the flexible element and which has: a first end protruding from the first end of the flexible element and is provided with a first head on which a spring acts that tends to fire the cable in one direction for extracting at said first end of the flexible element; of a second end provided with a second head that acts against the second end of the tubular element preventing the firing of the cable in the direction of extraction by the action of the spring; Y
    a passive electronic device configured to emit a signal indicating a correct state of the seal, said electronic device having a frangible zone whose breakage causes the device to be rendered useless; said frangible zone being configured to break due to the impact of the first head of the cable in case of cutting or manipulation of the seal.
    The operation of said spring on the first head of the cable causes said cable to remain subject to tension and prevented from firing by the contact established by the second head of the cable against the second end of the tubular closure element.
    Thus, in the event that the cable is cut, the spring causes the cable to trip and the impact of the first cable head against the frangible area of the electronic device causing it to become unusable. With this, it is achieved that when the sealed container passes through a control zone, said device does not emit an indicating signal that the seal is in an operational state, indicating that said seal has been violated. Description of the figures.
    To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached to the present specification in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:
    Figure 1 shows a top perspective view of an embodiment example of the container seal according to the invention.
    Figure 2 shows for sale in lower perspective the seal of the previous figure.
    Figure 3 shows an elevation view of the open container seal, sectioned by a vertical plane, and partially exploded to facilitate observation of the housing cover and the electronic device housed therein.
    Figure 4 shows a view analogous to Figure 3, once the flexible element is arranged in a closed position of the seal, the cable passing through said flexible element being subjected to a tension.
    Figure 5 shows a view analogous to the previous one, in which the seal has been violated by cutting the flexible element and the cable that passes through it, and in which the electronic device has been rendered useless by firing the cable and the impact of the first head thereof against the frangible zone of said device. Preferred embodiment of the invention.
    As can be seen in figures 1 and 2, this container seal comprises: a housing (1) formed by a body (11) and a lid (12) and a flexible closing element (2) having: a first end ( 21) attached inside the housing (1), and a second end (22) intended to be introduced through a passage (13) and to be retained by means of closure (3) in a closed position of the seal in which said flexible element (2) together with the housing (1) defines a closed loop.
    In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figures 3, 5 and 6 said closing means (3) are constituted by a spring (31) that presses a wheel (32) into the passage (13) in an oblique direction, of so that said closing means (3) allow the advance of the second end (22) of the flexible element only in the direction of introduction through the passage (13).
    According to the invention, the flexible element (2) has a tubular configuration defined in this case by a helically wound steel cable, which facilitates its bending.
    The first end (21) of the flexible element is housed in a first cavity (14) of the housing (1).
    Inside the flexible element (2) a steel cable (4) is housed that has: a first end protruding from the first end (21) of the flexible element and is provided with a first head (41) on the that a spring (43) acts which tends to trip the cable (4) in a direction of removal by said first end (21) of the flexible element; and a second end provided with a second head (42) acting, as a stop, against the second end
    (22) of the tubular element, preventing the trip of the cable (4) by the action of the spring (43).
    Inside the housing (1) an electronic device (5) is housed, in this case passive, configured to emit an indicating signal that the seal is in an operational state and has not been violated, when activated externally. This electronic device (5) can be a passive RFID TAG capable of receiving and responding to radiofrequency requests from an RFID transmitter; or of a device with other similar technology that causes the emission of a signal when it passes through a control zone of the seal or of a container carrying said seal.
    As can be seen in Figure 2, this electronic device (5) has a frangible zone (51) whose breakage causes its uselessness.
    As can be seen in Figures 3 and 5, in the assembly position of the seal said frangible zone (51) faces the first head
    (41) of the cable (4).
    In the event of a cut or violation of the seal, as shown in Figure 6, the spring (43) causes the cable to trip and the first head (41) of the cable to hit the frangible zone (51). ) of the electronic device (5) with the consequent uselessness of the device, preventing said device (5) from emitting a signal when the seal, or the container closed with the seal, passes through a control zone; which shows that the seal has been cut or violated.
    The first cavity (14) comprises a stopper (15) for retaining the first end
    5 of the flexible element (2), said stop (15) being provided with an orifice of smaller section than the flexible element (2) and in which the cable (4) is disposed through, towards a second cavity (16 ) in which the spring (43) and the first head (41) of the cable (4) are housed. In the operational position of the seal, it makes contact against a stop (15) that
    10 has a hole
    Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the described elements may be
    15 modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential characteristics of the invention that are claimed below.
