The present invention discloses a security seal with a seal base with at least one locking projection and a seal head connected to the seal base with at least one blocking tab, whereby each blocking tab is movably connected to the seal head via at least one hinge element, together with a safety closure with a first closure part and a second closure part, which can be moved back and forth between an open position and a closed position relative to the first closure part, wherein the first closure part has a seating on which the seal base of a security seal can be engaged so that, when the second closure part is in the closed position, at least one blocking tab of the security seal at least partially overlaps the second closure part on the side of the second closure part opposite the first closure part, and additionally, a security container with a container tub, a lid and a safety closure, wherein either the first or second closure part is arranged on either the container tub or the lid, respectively.
Security seal with a seal base with at least two locking projections, and a seal head connected to the seal base with at least one blocking tab, wherein the at least two locking projections are elastically movable in a radial direction, and each blocking tab is movably connected to the seal base by at least one hinge element and wherein the at least two locking projections are arranged around the seal base at the same angular distance from one another and wherein an even number of locking projections are provided, and wherein the blocking tab has a rectangular cross-section and wherein the locking projections extend towards the seal base as the at least one blocking tab extends towards the seal head.
Security seal in accordance with clam 1, wherein each blocking tab is provided with two hinge elements, on the side of the seal head.
Sterilization container with a container tub with at least a first closure part, which has a recess with two opposing curved contact surfaces formed on two curved sections, so that the recess is aligned to receive a seal base of a security seal, the recess has an essentially circular cross-section and two locking projections projecting radially outwards and which can be inserted into the recess in an axial direction so that the locking projections create a locking undercut with the curved sections and a lateral surface of the seal base is partially seated on a contact surface and is also aligned so that a snap-on connection between the locking projections and the curved sections can be lifted off by turning the security seal around its longitudinal axis through roughly 90° , so that the security seal can be removed from the recess, and
