Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for providing pigeons with rings, which apparatus is adapted to provide a vane strip around a pigeon's foot. Said vane strips act as so called competition rings carrying the competition number of the pigeon and the flight number of the competition flight for competition flights with homing pigeons.
  • Said apparatus is characterized by two discs or rollers, which are adapted to rotate in mutual circumferential engagement, the vane strip being permitted to be placed transversely to the roller axes and to be pushed by the pigeon's foot,to be provided with a ring, between the rollers.
  • the discs or rollers are completely covered with foam rubber or foam plastics. Said rollers may then be rotated continuously, since the material recedes when a pigeon's foot passes.
  • the discs or rollers may also be covered along only part of their circumference with foam rubber or foam plastics, in which case the discs or rollers have to carry out a reciprocating movement.
  • a different'construction in order to permit moving the pigeon's foot through the narrow gap between the discs or rollers is that in which the discs or rollers are each provided with a half circular recess for receiving the pigeon's foot.
  • the discs or rollers may be adapted for movement between two stable positions corresponding to the beginning and the end of the passing of a pigeon's foot. Said positions are then preferably symmetrically situated relative to the common tangent point of the discs or rollers.
  • the invention also includes a novel vane strip, which may be provided around the pigeon's feet by means of the above described apparatus.
  • Said vane strips are adhered by means of an adhesive layer to a transport carrier fabricated from opaque material.
  • the vane strip carries in printing at its upper side a serial number, which is alotted to each vane strip and carries in printing at the lower side a visibly readable competition number, which, however, during the registration and basketing of the pigeon is inaccessible.
  • the vane strip made from wheatherproof material carries printed characters at two sides. At that side which forms the exterior side after provision of the ring around the pigeon's foot, the serial number of the vane strips on the transport carrier is provided. Said number may be used for checking the correct registration of the pigeon.
  • the vane strip carries a competition number, which remains secret and which is verifiable only after the competition. Said number is imprinted at the other or inner side of the vane strip. During the registration and basketing this number is inaccessible and thereby not readable. If later on the pigeon returns from the flight, this number is the absolute proof that the pigeon has arrived. In order to prevent errors, this competition number should remain invisible during basketing and thereafter until the pigeon has arrived. Should the vane strip be released from the transport carrier when the vane strip is provided around the pigeon's foot, the competition number, provided at the lower side, could become visible. In order to prevent this, a cover sheet of opaque material is provided at the position of the vane strip in which at the lower side the competition number is mentioned, in order to remove the competition number from direct observation by unauthorized persons.
  • the material of the cover sheet is formed by the material of the transport carrier, in which at the position of the central zone of the vane strip a break line has been provided.
  • the cover strip prevents, moreover, that the vane strip adheres to the pigeon's foot when the strip has been folded around the foot.
  • the transport carrier moves along the sharp edge of a bending plate, whereby the vane strip together with the cover sheet is relased from the transport carrier.
  • Making the competition number visibly unreadable may be done in different manners.
  • One manner is to provide the competition number in bar code on the exterior side of the vane strip. The number is then visibly unreadable but may be read by a reading pen, coupled to the club-computer.
  • the competition number may have been provided in readable characters in the above described manner, covered by the cover sheet. Adjacent the transition between the cover sheet and the adhering lower side of the transport carrier a perforation has been provided, whereby the vane strip may easily be removed from the pigeon's foot after the flight. The pigeon number may then be read and entered into the pigeon recorder processing the data.
  • a different manner is using a duplicate strip.
  • the secret competition number is provided on a separate duplicate strip, which is in the same embodiment as the main vane strip and adhered to the. same transport carrier.
  • a releasing apparatus releases two vane strips, one of which is adapted to be provided as the competition vane and the other acts as guarantee strip and therefore is adhered to.
  • a basketing list which is kept by the competition staff.
  • Said duplicate strip carries at the upper side the same serial number as the vane strip proper and comprises at its lower side the competition number, which is covered by a portion of the transport carrier, which may be removed along a break line and serves as the cover sheet.
  • the invention includes an apparatus in which a supply roll is provided on which the transport carrier for the vane strips has been wound, wherein the carrier is guided towards a bending plate and from there towards a winding roll, the bending plate being provided adjacent to the entry side of the discs or rollers of the apparatus for providing the rings to the pigeon's feet.
  • the invention includes a reading device for reading a bar code provided on the fixed footring of the pigeon and which constitutes the pigeon's identification number, which bar code is read by a reading pen.
  • Said reading device is characterized in that for reading the bar code, which is provided on a fixed footring of a pigeon's foot, the reading pen is mounted stationary and the ring is mounted such that it may be rotated in front of the reading pen. Thereby correct reading is possible nevertheless the ringsurface has a strong curvature .
  • the reading device comprises three or more rolls positioned along the circumference of an imaginary circle, spaced with substantially equal circular angles, whereby the diameter of the circle is equal to the diameter of the footring, by which one or two rolls are pivotable in order to permit the passage of the foot bearing the footring, the reading pen being arranged between two rolls at short distance from the imaginary circle.
  • One or two of said rollers drive the footring, which then rotates around the pigeon's foot so that the number moves completely along the reading pen.
  • rollers are not restricted to having a predetermined position, it is advantageous when they are arranged adjacent to the apparatus for providing the rings, e.g. according to a further feature of the invention such that the reading device is positioned below the circular pressure rollers or discs of the ringing apparatus.
  • the reading device is positioned below the circular pressure rollers or discs of the ringing apparatus.
  • the ringing by means of the vane strip, provided with the competition number, and the reading of the fixed footring number may take place in a continuous movement in which the pigeon's foot first passes the ringing device and thereafter is pressed further downwardly into the space between the three rollers. Thereafter the pigeon's foot returns in the reverse direction.
  • the described reading device is combined in the same housing with an apparatus for issuing the vane strips.
  • the stationary mounted reading pen for reading the fixed footring may be adapted to cooperate with a stationary arranged reading pen for reading the competition number on the vane strip, said reading pens being preferably connectable one after the other to a decoding unit through an electronic switch.
  • this footring is constructed such, that it is electronically programmable in that an IC for the storage of fixed and variable data, which are relevant for the competition flighty is built into the ring.
  • variable data are a newly programmed secret competition number and the flight number for every flight. It is possible to have different pigeons partake on a certain day in two or more competitions, each having a different starting place and a different flight number.
  • the secret competition number is used for recording the pigeon and may only become known to the pigeon fancier if he catches the pigeon after the completion of the flight.
  • the fixed footring numbers of the pigeons basketed for the pigeon fancier are programmed into the recorder by the clock computer. Only rings having these numbers may be read by this recorder. Said numbers cannot be entered by the pigeon fancier himself, so that it is not possible to read the rings during the transport by means of an arbitrary recorder.
  • the own recorder will store times prior to the starting time. Erasing said times would mean simultaneous erasing of the fixed footring number, so that recording is no longer possible. It is therewith technically very difficult to practice fraud.
  • the recorder When the recorder reads the ring it stores all data of the ring together with the recording time. Through the starting time and the distance corresponding with the flight number, which data have before been programmed into the recorder, the recorder computes directly the flying velocity. Therein neutralisation of the pigeon during the night may be taken into account if the data, necessary therefore, have been programmed previously to data with the footring numbers.
  • galvanic contacts may be provided at its exterior side, which may be touched by hand or by a hand operated pair of sensor pincers and may be used for electronic programming or reading respectively of the data.
  • the said fixed footring needs to have only two galvanic contacts at its circumference, since this number is sufficient for inputting or outputting the variable data.
  • the invention further relates to a pigeon recorder in the embodiment of an electronic microprocessor having digital time signalling, a memory, a display screen, keys for inputting data and for calling up and displaying the data stored in the memory and having means for computing the flight results from the previously stored and afterwards, after arrival of a pigeon, entered data.
  • Said recorder comprises a keyboard for entering the competition nurber, which is read by the pigeon fancier from the competition ring provided around the pigeon's foot after the pigeon has returned from the flight.
  • the starting time of the pigeons which e.g. has been announced by the radio, the distance in kilometers, the pigeon house coordinates etc.
  • the arrival time of a predetermined pigeon, its starting time and the velocity computed therefrom may be called up and made visible on the screen. It is possible to partake simultaneously in different flights, in which case the flight data are arranged in separate columns and in this manner become visible on the display screen.
  • the arrival time and other data of the pigeon are entered in horizontal lines, e.g. step by step.. Should a pigeon having a different flight number arrive, then its data are entered in the next horizontal line.
  • the recorder according to the invention is characterized in that apart from the keys, by actuation of which the information is indicated on the screen according to subsequent horizontal lines, further keys are provided, whereby the information may be entered into the screen of data in positions on earlier lines, which means receding in horizontal and/or vertical direction with reference to the information position, which momentarily was shown.
  • This may mean a direction to the left and/or upwardly, because for most western countries the normal reading direction is to the right and downwardly. However, there are countreies in which the reading direction is completely or partially contrary thereto.
  • a further feature of the recorder is characterized in that keys are provided by actuation of which it is possible to move the information shown in an arbitrary position in a line or column" to a further line or column.
  • the recorder according to the invention further comprises the possibility to register immediately the competition number and the arrival time of a new pigeon when it arrives at a moment in which one is considering the results of previously arrived pigeons.
  • the recorder according to the invention is characterized in that means are provided whereby a new competition number of a just arrived pigeon is entered by automatically storing it in the next empty line regardless which line was being displayed on the screen at that moment.
  • Fig. 1 shows a matrix of a recorder having lines and columns.
  • One line contains the data of a single pigeon, such that the pigeon arriving as number X is entered into line X.
  • Each box in the figure indicates what will appear in the display.
  • FIG 2 a portion of the transport carrierstrip 11 has been shown on which subsequently a large number of imprinted vane strips 12 are adhered by means of their adhesive layer 22 provided at the lower side, which strips are mutually spaced a certain distance. Said strip is received in the shape of a roll in a vane strip releasing device 15 as shown in figure 5. It appears therefrom that the transport carrier strip having the vane strips 12 ' is-drawn from a supply roll 16 and is guided along a bending plate 17, which effects the separation between the transport carrier 11 and the vane strips 12 at the release opening (not shown) whereafter the transport carrier 11' without vane strips is further guided towards a winding spool 18.
  • FIG. 2 The separation which takes place is shown in figure 2 in various stages.
  • the vane strip 12 and the transport carrier 11 are still mutually connected.
  • the vane strip passes during the transport the bending plate 17 (not shown), whereby the vane strip 12 is released from the carrier 11.
  • fig. 2c is shown that the vane strip 12 has been folded around the pigeon's foot wherein the overlapping ends 13, 14 mutually adhere but the central zone 23 of the strip forming the competition ring 25 proper around the foot is non adheringly provided around the foot 21 in that a protective strip 12 is adhered against said central zone.
  • This cover strip originates from the material of the transport carrier 11 itself for which purpose previously when fabricating the roll 16 a break line 27 is punched in the carrier material. So after passing the bending plate 17, the transport carrier 11 continues its movement towards the winding spool 18; without vane strips but with apertures 28 at the positions where the coverstrip 26 has been released from the carrier material.
  • the competition number which is printed in bar code 29 on the vane strip 12 (see figure 2a) prior to the ringing, is read and stored in the club computer to which an unauthorized person has no access.
  • the competition number is printed in readable script on the lower side of the vane strip, but remains hided in that the strip is folded around the foot 21 of a pigeon, together with a cover strip 26. and thereby is withdrawn from direct observation. Only if the pigeon has returned from the competition flight, the pigeon owner is allowed to remove the cover strip 26 so that he can read the competition number "1, 2, 3, 4, 8" and enter into its recorder.
  • FIG 3 a different way has been taken for the above mentioned contrary requirements, namely using a duplicate strip 32.
  • the duplicate strip carries the same serial number as the main strip, carries at its lower side the same competition number and is also released from the transport carrier together with its cover strip 36. The difference is that the competition number is not provided on the upper side in bar code.
  • the duplicate strip now serves, when the pigeon starts with the main strip 12, as the remaining information in the club building for verification purposes in that the duplicate strip 31 is adhered to the basketing list behind the registration data of the relative pigeon whereby still the cover strip 36 continues keeping the competition number secret.
  • FIG 4a to e the operation of one of the possible embodiments of a ringing device adapted for use with the present electronic pigeon recording system is shown in different phases.
  • the purpose of the ringing device adapted to the new recording system is to provide a competition ring not by stringing it on the pigeon's foot but by folding it around that foot by starting from a strip instead of from a closed ring, said strip being folded around the pigeon's foot to a ring of which only the overlapping ends are mutually adhered.
  • a ringing device 40 is used of the type having ringing jaws, e.g. of the type of which the sector or segment shaped pressing means 41, 42 have half circular recesses 43, 44. Said recesses enable the pigeon's foot 21 to pass the narrow gap 46 in the contact zone between the pressing means 41, 42.
  • the pressing means are rotatable around their axis 47, 48 a mutual rolling of the circular circumferences of both pressing means along each other takes place, whereby the contact zone displaces and finally the pigeon's foot provided with a ring leaves the device at the lower side.
  • FIG 4a the vane strip 12 is seen in..elongated shape, which just has left the vane strip releasing device 15.
  • the strip issues such, that the upper side, as defined in figure 2a, b faces downwardly and the opaque cover strip 26 faces upwardly.
  • the foot 21 is moved downwardly and gradually the strip 12 is folded around the foot to a ring (figure 4b).
  • the pressing means 41, 42 may be disc shaped, only having recesses 43 and 44. If only one set of recesses is present, the pressing means shall move between one or two fixed positions which may be controlled by return springs and abutments.
  • discs rotate continuously, so without abutments, if said discs are given such a circumferential length that it is dividable an integer number of times by the strip length which is necessary for providing the ringsand as many recesses as this integer number are provided in the circumference.
  • a modified embodiment of such continuous pressure rolls comprises a set of discs of resilient compressible material, such as foam rubber, foam plastics and similar material.
  • a circumferential reading device 50 is shown which may be applied in the electronic recording system according to the invention, said reading device cooperating with the ringing device 40 and with the vane strip releasing device 15 and possibly has been combined therewith.
  • the circumferential reading device 50 has been shown in its spacial relation to the other apparatus belonging to the recording system; in figure 6 the device has been shown in itself on an enlarged scale.
  • the circumferential reading device is substantially formed by three rolls 51 to 53 arranged around an imaginary circle 54, in which circular space 56 a pigeon's foot 21 may be received, having its fixed footring 57, for which purpose at least one of the rolls, in the example the roll 51, must be pivotable, as shown by the double arrow 58.
  • One or two rolls are power driven, e.g. the roll 52, so that the fixed footring 57 starts rotating slowly around the pigeon's foot 21.
  • a reading pen 59 is stationary arranged so that it is adapted to read the fixed footring number, which is present in barcode- Just before the competition number which is present in barcode on the vane strip 12,has been read by an other reading pen 61.
  • the reading pens 59, 61 in turn transmit their information through an electronic switch (not shown) to a decoding unit 62.
