Rotary Security Seal

A rotary security seal assembly comprising:

• a housing body defining a socket including a top opening and a peripheral socket wall, and a housing locking filament receiving bore extending at least in part through the housing body and intersecting the socket;
• a rotor body receivable in the socket and including a top flange, a bottom flange, a center body area between the top and bottom flanges, and a rotor locking filament bore extending at least in part through the rotor body and intersecting the central body area;
• a locking filament including a first end area permanently secured to the housing body by hardened material forming the housing body and a second end area dimensioned and configured to be received in and extend at least in part through the housing locking filament receiving bore and the rotor locking filament bore leaving a continuous locking filament loop outside the housing body when so received;
• at least one axial locking structure extending radially inward from the peripheral socket wall and between the top and bottom flanges of the rotor body;
• and
• at least one indentation defined in an outer surface of the housing body substantially aligned with the least one axial locking structure.

A method of making at least one rotary security seal assembly, the method comprising:

• providing a housing body defining a socket including a top opening and a peripheral socket wall, and a locking filament including a first end area permanently secured to the housing body by hardened material forming the housing body and a second end area;
• inserting a rotor body in the socket of the housing body, the rotor body including a top flange, a bottom flange, and a center body area between the top and bottom flanges;
• and
• forming at least one axial locking feature on the housing body after the rotor body is inserted in the socket, the at least one axial locking feature comprising at least one protrusion extending radially inward from the peripheral socket wall and between the top and bottom flanges of the rotor body.
