Detailed Description

Referring to fig. 1, a pigeon ring 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is provided, a surface of the pigeon ring 10 is provided with a randomly formed dot pattern 20, the dot pattern 20 becomes an appearance characteristic of the pigeon ring, that is, an identification characteristic on the appearance of the pigeon ring, so as to identify the authenticity of the pigeon ring, and generate an anti-counterfeit effect, especially prevent fraud in racing pigeon racing.

The dot-shaped grains 20 are particles (or random particles) 22 that are randomly distributed in a dot shape on the surface of the pigeon loft 10 as shown in fig. 1, so that the pigeon loft 10 has the appearance characteristics formed by the random particles 22.

The pigeon ring 10 is intended to be worn on the foot 40 of a pigeon, as shown in fig. 6, in order to identify the pigeon. The body of the pigeon ring 10 has a hole 12 in the center for the insertion of a pigeon foot 40. While various shapes or styles of pigeon loops are applicable to the present invention, three different styles of pigeon loops 10 are shown in figures 1 to 3 and are designated by

reference numerals

10a, 10b and 10c, respectively. The style of the pigeon loop is not limited by the attached drawings of the invention.

The pigeon rings 10 of the invention are made by plastic injection, the random dot-like grains 20 are randomly formed in the injection and molding manufacturing process and are exposed on the outer surface of the finished product of the pigeon rings 10, and because the random formation is carried out, the dot-like grains 20 of each pigeon ring are unique, and the dot-like grains 20 of different pigeon rings are different.

The pigeon ring 10 is injection molded from plastic, and the particles are mixed with the plastic into a composite plastic in a material pipe of the injection molding machine, and the mixture is stirred and fully mixed to ensure that the particles are randomly distributed in the composite plastic. The composite plastic mixed with the particles is injected into a mold to form the pigeon ring, the particles 22 are randomly formed and exposed on the surface of the finished product of the pigeon ring 10, and the random distribution of the particles 22 is the dot-shaped grains 20. The ratio of particles 22 in the plastic can be adjusted as desired.

The particles 22 can be granular or powdery substances, the size of the particles 22 is preferably 0.01 mm-0.3 mm, and the particles can be seen by eyes, but the particles are not limited to the above size; the particles 22 may be selected to be polymeric or non-polymeric, such as metal, ceramic or glass. In addition, the present invention can select different color particles 22 to make the pigeon loop, the color of the particles 22 can be the same as or different from the color of the plastic used to make the pigeon loop 10, and when different colors are selected, the color of the particles 22 is different from that of the pigeon loop 10 itself. When the material of the particles 22 is different from the plastic, the particles 22 are visible on the surface of the manufactured pigeon loop 10 even if the particles and the plastic are in the same color. In this embodiment, a powder with metal color, such as gold or silver powder, is used as the particles 22 of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, and the particles are reflective and have different colors from plastic, so as to form contrast and be easy to be seen. The different colored particles 22 may have one or more contrasting colors between them.

Since the particles 22 are randomly distributed in the plastic and the injection conditions of the plastic at each injection are slightly different, the particles 22 are randomly distributed on the surface of the pigeon loft 10, and the random distribution of the particles 22 on each part of the surface of each pigeon loft 10 is also different. Furthermore, these particles 22 may not protrude above the surface of the pigeon loft 10, or protrude above the surface of the pigeon loft.

The random distribution of the particles 22 on the surface of the various pigeon rings 10 varies in point form, including the number of random particles 22, the location of the random particles, and the density of the random particle distribution, such that the random distribution of the particles 22 on the surface of each pigeon ring 10 is unique. The distribution of the particles 22 varies from ring 10 to ring, for example, the random distribution of the particles 22 on the surface of the rings 10 in fig. 4 and 5. The randomly distributed particles 22 on the surface of each pigeon loop 10 form a randomly formed dot-like texture 20 of the pigeon loop 10.

In one embodiment, at least two different color particles can be mixed into the plastic to make the outer surface of the manufactured pigeon ring display a plurality of color particles, and the random distribution of the different color particles at different positions can also be used as an identification feature of the dot-shaped grain 20.

In addition to the dot patterns 20, the pigeon rings are also provided with identification data 14, which can be information presented by the typeface 141 made on the surface of the pigeon ring 10 shown in fig. 1 to 3, or information stored in the identification chip 16 mounted on the pigeon ring 10. The information may be a serial number or various data or information, and may be, for example, numbers, words (various recognizable words, such as english letters), symbols, or a combination of numbers and words, or a combination of numbers and symbols. The identification chip 16 may be a radio frequency chip or a contact chip, and has specific data or information built therein and stores information related to the pigeon, which can be read by a reading device.

Fig. 4 shows a side view of a pigeon loft 10 and a random dot-like texture 20 formed on the outer surface of the pigeon loft 10, wherein the distribution of particles 22 on the outer surface of the pigeon loft 10 varies, so that a specific location can be selected as the identification region 15, for example, as shown in fig. 4, a specific range of a side surface P of the pigeon loft 10 is selected as the identification region 15, and the random texture 30 in the identification region 15 is used as the basis for identifying the pigeon loft. The size of the identification area 15 can be set or adjusted according to actual needs, and fig. 5 shows different sizes of the identification area 15.

In order to provide each pigeon loop with a consistent identification area, one possible embodiment is to place the pigeon loop 10 in a jig (not shown) so that the pigeon loop is held in a specific orientation and the side P of the pigeon loop faces outward, so that the identification area 15 can be specified so that the identification area 15 of each pigeon loop is located at the same position. The range of the identification region 15 in the drawings is merely an example, and the area or range of the identification region 15 can be increased or decreased as required, for example, the identification region 15 can be the whole range of the side surface P or a partial range of the side surface P.

Referring to fig. 4, an image capturing device, such as a camera 30, is used to pick or capture the random particles 22 in the identification region 15 of a pigeon loop 10, and the features of the identification region 15 are selected or captured by software or artificial intelligence, and converted into electronic information, such as digital photographs, to record and store the identification features of the dot-shaped grains 20 in the identification region 15 of each pigeon loop 10. For example, all randomly distributed particles 22 in the identification region 15 may be used as the identification feature of the dot-shaped patterns 20, and the number, position, distance, and even the size of each particle 22 or the size relationship between the particles in the identification region 15 may form a unique identification feature. For example, the number of randomly distributed particles 22, the position of the particles 22, the relative position between the particles 22, the distance between the particles 22, the connection line L between at least two particles 22, the inclination angle and length of the connection line L, or the pattern G formed between a plurality of random particles 22 form a unique identification feature belonging to the appearance of the pigeon loft 10, and are recorded and stored. Later, the identification feature can be used to judge the truth of the pigeon ring and verify the identity of the pigeon

Referring to fig. 1, 4 and 5, in another embodiment of the present invention, a specific mark (abbreviated as "mark") 18 is further disposed on the surface of the pigeon loft 10, and is located in the identification region 15, and the mark 18 can be a convex or concave portion formed on the pigeon loft 10 by injection molding, or other marks that can be used as a reference point. The mark 18 serves as an identifying feature for identifying the pigeon loft 10. In addition, the specific mark may be matched with the dot-shaped grain 20 to serve as an identification feature of the pigeon hoop, for example, the mark 18 is used as a reference point or a reference position to determine the distribution of the random particles 22 around the mark 18, or the connection length and the connection angle between the random particles and the mark 18, etc. can be used as the identification feature of the pigeon hoop 10; or measuring the distance D between a single or multiple random particles 22 at a particular location and the mark 18, can be another identifying feature of a pigeon loft. For example, the distance from the mark 18 to the plurality of random particles 22 constituting the pattern G, and the length and the inclination angle of the line connecting the random particles 22 and the mark 18.

The pattern of the random distribution of particles 22 in dot pattern 20 may be set in software. The identification features illustrated herein are exemplary only, and not limiting.

The identification characteristics of the dot-shaped grains 20 of each pigeon ring manufactured by the invention are randomly formed, the number and the positions of the particles 22 are randomly formed and randomly distributed, and the dot-shaped grains formed by the particles 22 are different in appearance formed by each pigeon ring, so that the same pigeon ring is difficult to reproduce, and excellent anti-cheating effect is provided.

The identification data 14 (the character 141 or the identification chip 16) of each pigeon loop has unique and unique information, such as serial number, and the identification data 14 and the dot-shaped patterns 20 are bound into an unbreakable anti-cheating data as an anti-cheating mechanism for each pigeon loop. The anti-cheating data bound by the identification data 14 and the dot-shaped grains 20 becomes the identification data of the pigeon ring and cannot be cracked.

When the particles 22 used in the present invention are made of polymer material (such as plastic or rubber), they may be melted in the plastic of the pigeon ring in the material tube of the injection device and flow along with the plastic flow in the material tube and the injection process, after the pigeon ring is injection molded, as shown in fig. 7, the melted particles will become random rendering patterns 22a or form stripe-shaped random patterns 22b and randomly distribute on the surface of the pigeon ring 10, and become the randomly distributed identification feature on the appearance of the pigeon ring for identifying the authenticity of the pigeon ring. Images of all or part of a side of the pigeon ring (e.g. the identification area 15) are captured as a basis for verifying the pigeon ring 10, and the captured images will include identification features formed by the randomly rendered grain 22a or the randomly textured grain 22 b.

The pattern of the randomly rendered texture 22a or the random texture 22b may vary randomly, and is not limited to the pattern shown in fig. 7. In addition, the particles in the pigeon loft 10 may be totally melted or partially melted, and if the particles are totally melted, the outer surface of the pigeon loft will be characterized by randomly rendered lines 22a or random lines 22.

When the dot-shaped grain 20 and the identification data 14 of each pigeon loop 10 are established and worn on a racing pigeon, the identification characteristics and the identification data 14 of the dot-shaped grain 20 of the pigeon loop 10 are inspected next time, so that whether the pigeon loop and the racing pigeon are true or not can be verified, and fraud are prevented.

The random particles 22 of the present invention are embodied, determined and judged structures and can produce an anti-counterfeiting effect, meeting patent requirements.

The above-disclosed embodiments are merely illustrative of the features of the present invention and not restrictive, and all equivalent modifications of the present invention should be considered as within the scope of the present invention.
