Abstract

A marking element comprising a flat plate with eventually encoded information provided on one side with catches to attach said plate to a timber material and on the other side with catches to fasten said palte to a pushing or driving device, characterised in that the plate (<u>1</u>) of said marking element comprises at least one groove (<u>5</u>) with a depth less than or equal to the thickness of the plate (<u>1</u>). The marking element can be provided with an additional fastening catch (<u>6</u>) in the middle part of the plate (<u>1</u>).

Description

The invention relates to a marking component designed specifically for marking and identifying wood material such as tree trunks, sawn wood, logs, pallets, etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Numerous methods have long been known for marking wood, i. the Signumat method, based on the marking of individual pieces of wood with labels (plates) of plastic, wood or metal permanently attached to the wood. The labels are provided with graphic, written and / or digital characters to identify the object to which the label is attached. Labels are generally indicated by the log number of the harvested wood and a coded feature indicating the source of the material. The labeling system is aimed at controlling the legal origin of wood as well as at improving the distribution of wood materials.

Labels used by known methods shall be made of weather-resistant material. A special fastener (s, in each piece with the label body ensures their reliable attachment. These fasteners fix the marking component by pressing or driving into the marked wood material. The fasteners have different shapes depending on the end use. , while four short nail labels are used for the side surface, and long nail tacks are used to attach the marking component to the bark The other sides of the labels are provided with corner clips to attach the label to a hammer or other fastening device used to drive

of labels in wooden material. The most famous labels and fasteners are manufactured by Latschbacher, Fluegel and Equip Bois.

Marking labels with different fastener shapes are described in the following patents and patent applications: AT 39641 OB, EP 0460256A1, PL P-314955, as well as Polish Utility Model No. 105185, according to which the tree marking label is rectangular. Near the shorter edges, the label is provided with two symmetrically positioned undulating clips perpendicular to the label. There are two holes through the label between the shorter edges of the label and the undulating mounts. The front of the label is provided with corner protrusions in the form of small columns. Polish Patent Application No. P314955 discloses a rectangular label with nail-shaped clips. the label is also provided with corner clips on the side containing information to secure the label to a hammer or other fastening device. The marking component according to EP 0460256 is provided with clips perpendicular to the label body and parallel to its shorter edge. In known embodiments of the marking components, the fasteners for attaching the label to the wood material are located near the shorter edge of the label and parallel to it. Known fasteners, irrespective of their embodiment, are provided with hook-like locking ends to hold the label in the labeled material. When the component is pressed into the wood material, the wood fibers around the blocking clip profile contract and prevent release of the label.

The hook-like design of the clips, although satisfactory as a fastener of the component to the wood material, does not protect it from deliberate removal. Meanwhile, one of the purposes of tagging is to prevent illegal felling. Marking elements are often removed from trees or lumber and attached to illegally felled wood. This use can be avoided, for example, by encoding the wood information in the form of a bar code.

It is an object of the invention to provide a marking component

With better preventive function.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The objective pursued was achieved in two ways: by changing) the number and shape of the clips and by changing the design of the label to prevent its re-use.

The wood marking component of the invention comprises a flat label provided with optionally encoded information having, on the one hand, clips to attach the label to the wood material, and on the other hand clips to attach it to a pusher, wherein the label includes at least one groove with than or equal to the label thickness. In the case where the groove depth is equal to the thickness of the label, the groove is positioned such that the label of the marking component is held by the fastening clips. If the groove depth is less than the thickness of the label, the groove can be located anywhere on the label. The second embodiment comprises an additional clip positioned in the center of the portion of the label and preferably having the shape of a cylindrical tip with a conical-shaped clip, with a base diameter greater than the diameter of the cylinder or two hollow-center half-cylinders with a barbed locking element. Both forms of the inventive component security means can be used together or separately.

An additional attachment is provided to make the marking element from the wood more difficult, and the grooves cause its permanent destruction when attempting to release it from the wood.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The marking component of the invention comprises a rectangular plate 1 having information in the form of a sequence of digits thereon. Front

The side of the label is also provided with corner labels 2 for its reliable placement on the hammer, for its insertion into the wood material. The other side is provided with crimped clips 3 located at the shorter edges of the label to attach it to the wood material. Between the crimped clips and the shorter edges of the label there are two round holes. The label 2 has two grooves 5, located parallel to the shorter edges of the label and along the crimped clips 3. The depth of the grooves 5 is equal to the thickness of the label 1. On the side of the label attached to the wood there is an additional clip 6 in the form of two hollow half-cylinders ending with a barbed blocking element.
