JP 2000-206885 A (page 3-4, FIG. 3)

  However, recently, this kind of sealing device has been forged in advance, and after breaking the genuine sealing device attached and opening the case without permission, the forged sealing device is replaced with the genuine sealing device. There is a fraudulent act that attaches and disguises as if the split case is not released.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a sealing tool that can easily detect fraud even if it is attached in place of a forged sealing tool after performing a fraudulent act. To do.

  In order to achieve this object, the sealing device according to the present invention comprises a storage means for storing data that can be read by the data reading means.

  The sealing device according to the present invention includes a storage unit that stores data that can be read by the data reading unit, and a data transmission unit that can transmit the data stored in the storage unit in a contactless manner between the data reading unit. It comprises the composition provided with.

  The storage means is constituted by a semiconductor storage element such as PROM, EPROM, mask ROM, EEPROM, flash memory, for example. Among these, data can be rewritten in the EEPROM or the flash memory, and in this case, data transmission means capable of transmitting data stored in the storage means in a contactless manner with the data reading means is used. This data transmission means is the same as that used in a so-called RFID chip, and there is a controller section having a CPU in addition to a memory section having an EEPROM and a flash memory. Then, data can be transmitted by wireless communication with the data reading means via the antenna unit, and data can be read from the memory unit and rewritten in the memory unit.

  Then, the required storage means or an IC chip in which the storage means and the data transmission means are integrated is incorporated in a sealing tool. As the built-in means, for example, since usually a sealing tool is molded from a synthetic resin material, an IC chip is arranged at a predetermined position in the molding die, and the molding die is filled with a molten resin, or molded, Separately, a single unit containing an IC chip is molded, while the sealing tool is provided with a mounting hole into which the single unit is inserted, and after the sealing tool is molded, the single unit is inserted into the mounting hole in a non-removable manner. good. Further, power for operating the IC chip is supplied from the data reading means side by, for example, an electromagnetic coupling method or an electromagnetic induction method.

  The IC chip is preferably as small as possible so that it is difficult for a third party to find it. Therefore, for example, chips each having a vertical, horizontal, and height of 0.4 × 0.4 × 0.06 mm are used. In addition, this IC chip can store a large amount of data such as a value of 10 to 17 to 28. For example, the sixth to eighth digits of the number are used as a customer code, and the ninth to tenth digits are used. It can be used to determine the product name. These data may be stored as read-only, or may be stored so that the contents can be changed.

  Therefore, in the sealing means of the sales item storage box that stores the duty-free items as will be described later and is loaded into the aircraft of the passenger plane, for example, the code number of the customer (user), the date of production, the attachment・ The removal date, installation location, manufacturer, product name, etc. should be stored as unique numbers. In the field, a handy type reader, which is a data reading means, is brought close to the sealing tool to read the data. If the data is read and the same as the input data or the changed data, it is determined that the sealing tool is authentic. On the other hand, when data cannot be read, it can be judged that it is a forged sealing tool.

  Moreover, if the customer's (user) code number, production date, installation / removal date / time, installation location, manufacturer, product name, etc. are stored as unique numbers in the sealing device, they can be used for product management. It is convenient.

In the sealing device according to claim 1, if predetermined data such as a customer code number is stored in the storage means, the authenticity depends on whether the data is read by using the data reading means. You can see at a glance whether it is a seal or a forged seal, making it easier to find fraud. Also, by storing data such as customer code number, production date, installation / removal date, installation location, manufacturer, product name, storage history, etc., it can be used for product management, distribution management, and recycling management at the same time. There is an effect that it is extremely convenient.
In the sealing device according to claim 2, in addition to the above effects, the contents of the stored data can be changed, so that a wider range of product management, distribution management, and recycling management can be performed.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a sealing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This seal can be used almost anywhere where sealing is required. For example, to sell duty-free items such as liquor and cigarettes to passengers, for example, these items can be stored and loaded into passenger aircraft. The box sealing tool will be described. The IC chip with a built-in antenna used in the present invention is a type that can only read stored data, but may be a type that can rewrite data contents.

  1 is a front perspective view of a sealing device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a sectional side view of the same portion. The sealing tool A includes a display substrate 1 that is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene, for example, and has an outer shape that is substantially vertically long and flat. A band portion 2 having a predetermined length that can be bent from the central portion in the thickness direction of the outer peripheral side surface 1a at the upper center of the display substrate 1 arranged in a vertically long shape is parallel to the surface 1b of the display substrate 1 and substantially straight. It is extended in the shape. The band portion 2 is provided with a cutting hole 3 as a thin portion that can be easily cut by picking and pulling it with a fingertip on the base end side, and an insertion portion 4 is provided at the distal end portion. The insertion portion 4 has a thin tip 4a that is parallel to the front and back surfaces 1b and 1c of the display substrate 1, and one end of the thin plate 4a, that is, the same side as the back surface 1c of the display substrate 1, with a tip portion. And three locking teeth 5 having a substantially triangular cross section provided to face in the opposite direction.

  A band insertion portion 6 is integrally projected at the upper center of the surface 1b of the display substrate 1. An insertion port 7 is opened on the back surface 1 c side of the display substrate 1, and an insertion hole 8 that is in communication with the insertion port 7 and is inserted into the band insertion portion 6 is displayed. The substrate 1 is penetrated perpendicularly. Further, a check claw having elasticity that engages with the locking teeth 5 on the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 8 and faces the locking teeth 5 of the insertion portion 4 to be inserted. 9 is provided. On the surface 1b of the display substrate 1, a mark M for displaying an airline is provided.

  And as shown in FIG. 4, when the said insertion part 4 is inserted in the insertion hole 8 from the insertion port 7, any locking tooth 5 is prevented from reverse-removing to the non-return claw 9. Engage in this way. At this time, since the check claw 9 is elastic, it is not damaged when the locking teeth 5 are inserted. Therefore, when the band portion 2 is pulled in the direction in which the insertion portion 4 is pulled out from the insertion hole 8 in this state, the check claw 9 is not broken and the insertion portion 4 is not pulled out. 2 is cut at the cutting hole 3.

  In the sealing tool A, the band portion 2 extends from the outer peripheral side surface 1 a of the display substrate 1 in parallel with the surface 1 b of the display substrate 1, and the insertion portion 4 of the band portion 2 is connected to the front and back surfaces 1 b and 1 c of the display substrate 1. And a locking plate 5 provided on one side surface thereof. Further, an insertion port 7 is provided on the back surface of the display substrate 1, and an insertion hole 8 communicating with the insertion port 8 is provided in a direction orthogonal to the display substrate 1. Since such a configuration is adopted, the sealing tool A includes a pair of male / female molds including the check claws 9 in the insertion hole 8 without the need for split molds or horizontal cutouts. It can be formed by injection molding in which they are contacted and separated only one-dimensionally. Moreover, as seen in the molded product S shown in FIG. 5, if a plurality of sealing tools A are arranged on one side of the connecting portion 10 so as to face the same direction in each row, an injection molding machine ( (Not shown), a large number of sealing devices A can be formed at the same time, and mass production becomes possible.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 7, an antenna built-in type IC chip 11 having a built-in antenna in advance is housed in a short columnar single body 12 formed of a synthetic resin material. It fits into the mounting hole 13 drilled at a predetermined position of 1c. At this time, the unit 12 cannot be removed by adopting a fixing method such as welding or bonding the end surface 12a positioned outside the unit 12 and substantially flush with the back surface 1c of the display substrate 1 and the back surface 1c. It is fixed to.

  The sealing tool A according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and the usage method will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, B is a sales item storage box, and a door 100 pivotally supported on one side is attached to the front surface of the box so as to be freely opened and closed. A lever 101 that pivots up and down on the open side is pivotally mounted on the front surface of the door 100. The lever 101 is locked so that the door 100 cannot be opened by being pulled down, and is unlocked by being pulled up so that the door 100 can be freely opened and closed. A through hole 102 is provided at the tip of the lever 101, and when the through hole 102 pulls down the lever 101, it matches the through hole 104 of the attachment piece 103 fixed to the front surface of the door 100. .

  Therefore, after the various sales items are stored in the sales item storage box B, a lock 105 is put on the door 100 except during the sales in the machine. As shown in FIG. 9, the lock 105 is hung on the through holes 102 and 104 with the lever 101 pulled down. At the same time, the band portion 2 is inserted into the through holes 102 and 104 and the insertion portion 4 at the tip thereof is inserted into the insertion hole 8 to attach the sealing tool A. In this case, the surface 1b displaying the mark M faces sideways.

  As a result, when someone opens the door 100 and tries to steal an item from the sale item storage box B without removing the lock 105 and pulling the band part 2, the band part 2 is cut at the cutting hole 3. And cannot be repaired. Therefore, even if the door 100 is locked after the theft, the band portion 2 of the sealing tool A remains cut, and it is easy to immediately understand that it has been fraudulent. In general, when selling duty-free goods such as liquor and cigarettes and meals to passengers in flight, the display board 1 can be easily cut from the cutting hole 3 simply by pinching and pulling the display board 1 with the fingertip. A can be easily removed without using scissors.

  Therefore, in the case of the authentic sealing tool A, since the IC chip 11 with a built-in antenna is built therein, the handy type reader 14 as the data reading means is sealed without contact as shown in FIG. If it is close to the tool A, a predetermined data can be read by returning a microwave from the IC chip 11 with a built-in antenna to the antenna of the reader 14, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a genuine sealing tool. .

  On the other hand, even if a forged sealing tool is prepared in advance, the genuine sealing tool A cut after the theft is removed, and a forged sealing tool is attached instead, the reader 14 is If a read operation is performed close to a forged seal, necessary data cannot be read, and fraud can be easily determined. Thereby, it becomes impossible to forge, and the occurrence of fraud can be reduced.

  Although the present invention has been described with respect to a seal for a storage box for goods to be loaded on a passenger aircraft, there are many other such as a seal for a power meter or a seal for a split case, and of course it can be used for any of these. .
