Abstract
A seal of the type utilizing a stranded cable, in which a housing is provided with apertures for receiving the ends of a length of cable so as to form a shackle loop extending from the body. For economy of construction the housing is formed of two superimposed pieces of sheet metal suitably fastened together, said pieces being shaped to provide tapered apertures to receive a locking member and the cable. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the housing sidewalls are tapered inwardly toward the top of the housing, so that the shackle loop extending from the top can be as short as possible, to increase the resistance to tampering.
