BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The wire security seals that are well known, previously disclosed in patents and are in the public domain are comprised of similar housings with a stud shaped for nonremovable engagement with the capsule. These wire seals have several shortcomings.

Firstly, they are difficult to close with one hand or with gloved hands. Secondly, the wire may be pulled out and pushed back in without leaving evidence of tampering.

This improved seal bears the following ergonomic improvements: it can be closed with one hand; it is internally"self-threading"and thus can be closed by a gloved hand; the wire cannot be pulled out; if the wire is cut, it cannot be pushed back in.

The following U. S. Patents show related art: 3,591,223 4,106,801 4,175,782 4,818,002 4,722,562 5,180,200 5,348,180 5,402,958 5,489,034 III. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention provides a user-friendly security wire seal of superior ergonomic design of the type having a capsule and sealing member or anchor. The capsule and anchor are connected by an arm and the unit in its entirety is best manufactured of injection- molded plastic. The capsule has apertures through which the wire is threaded. The threaded wire, as it is pushed by the anchor, bends at numerous points, making it impossible to pull out, and the wire is pressed upon closure into the channel of the anchor (or, in another embodiment in the channel of the capsule), also making it impossible to pull out. The capsule is shaped for easier gripping. In one embodiment, the capsule is easily gripped-as it is shaped to rest atop the index finger while pressure is applied to the top of the anchor with the thumb to easily close the capsule. This seal is much easier to close with one hand than seals currently in use. Further, the top surface of the anchor and the bottom surface of the capsule are larger in dimension than the capsule, for easier gripping.

In another embodiment, the top surface of the sealing member bears a trade logo.

Figure 5 is a side elevation in which the anchor is approaching the closed position.

Figure 6 is the cutaway side elevation of the capsule in the closed position revealing the interior of the capsule and the wire.

V. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The capsule (1) and anchor (2), linked by a connecting arm (3), are manufactured of resilient injection-molded plastic. The connecting arm protrudes away from the capsule and returns to the capsule at an acute angle, thereby increasing the ease with which the anchor is inserted into the capsule and minimizing any resistance to closure by the connecting arm. The anchor comprises a male fitting (4) which, when in the closed position, mates with a female fitting (5), which is in the interior of the capsule.

The anchor also comprises a groove (6).

The top surface (7) of the anchor and the bottom surface (8) of the capsule are larger in dimension than the capsule and are shaped to conform to fingers and thumb, all for easier gripping and closure.

The wire (9) is integral with the seal and threaded through the apertures (10) (and 11 not shown) of the capsule. The wire is engaged by the groove of the anchor as the device is closed, and is forced into the interior of the capsule. A channel (12) along the exterior of the anchor (or on the interior of the capsule, not shown in drawings) increases the internal security of the wire.

Also increasing security, the wire is crimped in numerous places as it conforms to the interior of the capsule, the groove, and the channel.

In its closed position, the male fitting is irreversibly engaged with the female fitting, the wire is held securely in place by the groove and the channel and is crimped at many places and cannot be pulled out.
