Safety sealing device

A safety marking device attachable to a receiving article and comprising:

• a flexible support member;
• at least one adhesive film disposed on one side of the support member;
• and
• an electronic circuit disposed on the one side of the support member, the electronic circuit being remotely interrogatable and comprising:
• at least one electronic component, and
• a conductive path forming a coil and electrically connected to the at least one electronic component to form a closed circuit;
• wherein, when the safety marking device is attached to the receiving article by the at least one adhesive film, an adhesion between the at least one adhesive film, the electronic circuit and the receiving article is such that tampering with at least a part of the safety marking device causes a break in the electronic circuit, the break in the electronic circuit preventing the electronic circuit from responding to a remote interrogation.

A safety marking device attachable to itself for encircling a portion of a marked article and comprising:

• a flexible support member;
• at least one adhesive film disposed on at least a portion of one side of the support member;
• and
• an electronic circuit disposed on the one side of the support member, the electronic circuit being remotely interrogatable and comprising:
• at least one electronic component, and
• a conductive path forming a coil and electrically connected to the at least one electronic component to form a closed circuit;
• wherein, when the safety marking device is adapted to be attached to itself about the portion of the marked article by the at least one adhesive film, an adhesion between the at least one adhesive film and the electronic circuit is such that tampering with at least a part of the safety marking device causes a break in the electronic circuit, the break in the electronic circuit preventing the electronic circuit from responding to a remote interrogation.

A safety sealing device attachable to at least two relatively movable portions of a receiving article and comprising:

• a flexible support member;
• at least one adhesive film disposed on at least a portion of one side of the support member;
• and
• an electronic circuit disposed on the one side of the support member, the electronic circuit being remotely interrogatable and comprising:
• at least one electronic component, and
• a conductive path forming a coil and electrically connected to the at least one electronic component to form a closed circuit;
• wherein, when the safety sealing device is attached to the receiving article by the adhesive film, an adhesion between the adhesive film, the electronic circuit and the receiving article is such that tampering with at least a part of the safety sealing device causes a break in the electronic circuit, the break in the electronic circuit preventing the electronic circuit from responding to a remote interrogation.

A safety sealing device attachable to itself about at least relatively movable two portions of a receiving article and comprising:

• a flexible support member;
• at least one adhesive film disposed on at least a portion of one side of the support member;
• and
• an electronic circuit disposed on the one side of the support member, the electronic circuit being remotely interrogatable and comprising:
• at least one electronic component, and
• a conductive path forming a coil and electrically connected to the at least one electronic component to form a closed circuit;
• wherein, when the safety sealing device is attached to itself about the receiving article by the adhesive film, an adhesion between the adhesive film and the electronic circuit is such that tampering with at least a part of the safety sealing device causes a break in the electronic circuit, the break in the electronic circuit preventing the electronic circuit from responding to a remote interrogation.
