摘要:
An animal tag comprising, a penetrating component (3) having two ear penetrating members (9) joined by a strip of intermediate material (13), a complementary component (5) having a locking portion (17) for each penetrating member (9), and ramp means (21) for each locking portion (17), wherein the penetrating members (9) are designed to be passed through the ear of an animal and to lock onto the locking portions (17) to sandwich the ear in a gap between the penetrating component (3) and complementary component (5) and the ramp means (21) co-operate with the ear penetrating members (9) to vary the size of the gap whereby to provide a range of gap sizes to accommodate varying ear thicknesses and/or growth of the animal.
摘要:
An ear tag for animal identification is a one-piece plastics moulding with a female end (1) having an opening (12) and a male end (2) having a barbed spike (22), connected by a flexible link (3). It secures through an animal's ear in the conventional way, while presenting an exterior printable surface (32) to carry a visual identification code. Towards the female end (1) the link (3) includes a capsule (5) to hold an elongate transponder module (6). The insertion opening for the capsule cavity faces lengthwise of the link (3) onto the axis of the opening (12) at the female end (1), so that when the tag is locked in position the male spike (22) further blocks the cavity to ensure that the transponder module (6) cannot get out.
摘要:
When preparing ear marks used by being attached to ears of livestock for identification of livestock, multiple-digit livestock registration number (CN) is printed on at least one face of each ear mark and a farm number (FN) in least necessary digits according to a desired number for ease of livestock identification in each farm is magnified and printed. The magnified farm number (FN), which is printed by being extracted from a random part of the relative livestock registration number (CN), can be generated efficiently from the livestock registration number.
摘要:
In combination, an ear tag assembly (12, 17) and an attachable transponder housing (1) for attachment to the ear tag assembly (12, 17). The attachable transponder housing (1) includes a body having a chamber containing a transponder. Integrally formed with the housing is a strap for enclosing a portion of the tag assembly (14, 17). Allows existing tag assemblies employing visual identification to also employ electronic identification.
摘要:
An ear tag assembly for attachment to an ear of an animal and for housing a transponder. The assembly comprises a body (1) and a pin (2). The body (1) comprises a chamber (11) in which the transponder is housed. A plug (3) closes the chamber (11). The body (1) is formed from hard plastics material and is generally cylindrical with a strengthening ridge (6) parallel to the long axis. The pin (2) comprises a narrow curved backing component (15) and a shaft (16) with a hardened end for penetrating the ear of the animal. The small size of the body (1), its location in the ear and the shape and material of the body (1) result in a durable ear tag assembly.
