Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (Purpose of the invention) This invention involves identifying and conducting experiments on laboratory animals such as rabbits and rats, and identifying the reactions and behaviors of each individual animal.
The present invention relates to a fixture for fixing a marker ring to an animal to identify an individual animal, especially when observing for a long period of time.

Conventionally, animals such as mice, rats, and rabbits were identified by writing on their ears with a magic pen, or by
This was done with an inward-bending type identification ring, but it was erased with a magic pen, etc., and an inward-bending type identification ring where one end was inserted into a hole in the other end and folded inward was also used. However, they had the disadvantage that they could become loose and fall off when animals moved or scratched their ears.

The present invention improves the shortcomings of conventional identification rings that easily come off, and provides a safe way to secure identification rings that will not fall off even when the animal moves violently, and will not cause injury if the animal runs over them. The present invention provides a fixing device that can be easily performed.

(Structure of the invention) That is, in the present invention, a belt-shaped plate on which an identification mark is applied is bent at approximately the center thereof, one end of the belt-shaped plate is inserted into a hole provided at the other end, and the other end of the belt-shaped plate is inserted into a hole provided at the other end. A fixing device for fixing an animal tag ring to an animal's ear by bending outward toward the tip of the part, and having two clamping blades supported relative to each other by a support shaft. one of the clamping blades is formed with a protrusion for inserting one end of the band-shaped marker ring 1 into a perforation provided at the other end, and the other clamping blade has a raised part for inserting one end of the band-shaped marker ring 1 into a hole provided at the other end; is provided with a fitting recess for outward bending in the direction of the other end, and is bent at approximately the center when both clamping pressure blades are tightened and closed. This is a fixing device for an animal tag ring in which a holding groove is formed in both clamping blades or either clamping blade so as to form a space for holding the ring.

The present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Label ring 1 as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
is a band-shaped plate having a bending part 2 to be pre-bent and a tongue lower end 5, the rear end part 3 has a perforation 4, and the other end has a tip tongue part 6 penetrating through the perforation 4 on the inner side. It is temporarily bent and installed.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the band-shaped marker ring 1 is divided into a front piece 7 and a back piece 8 by a preliminary bending part 2. Then, by pressing the pieces 7, 8 and the tip tongue 6 from the outside, the tip tongue 6 pierces the animal's ear a, passes through the hole 4, and bends outward toward the lower end 5 of the tongue. It is bent and fixed to the animal's ear.

It is easier to insert the tip of the tip tongue 6 into the borehole 4 if it is thin and pointed, and one rear end 3 has a length that allows the tip tongue 6 to be bent and fixed.
The indicator ring 1 is made of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant material.
It is made of a metal plate that can be easily bent, and symbols and numbers for classification and identification can be stamped on the front piece 7 and the back piece 8. Furthermore, by baking special paint, classification and identification by color is also possible.

FIG. 5 shows the fixing device b of the present invention, which allows the marking ring 1 to be easily fixed to an animal's ear. The fixing tool is, for example, in the shape of a pair of pliers, and one of the clamping blades 9 and 10 that fit into each other has a fitting recess 11 for bending the tip tongue, and a main body of the marker ring 1. The other clamping blade 10 has a protrusion 13 protruding in the shape of a hook whose purpose is to maintain the tip tongue 6 at a substantially right angle and insert it into the borehole 4. Form.

The fitting recess 11 has a distal tongue portion 6 that passes through the perforation 4.
The fitting recess 11 is recessed by the bending space of the tip tongue 6 in order to bend outward toward the rear end 3 of the marker ring 1, and the protuberance provided at the position facing the clamping blade 10 The rear end portion 3 is fitted with the rear end portion 13.
It presses on.

The raised portion 13 serves to guide the tip of the distal tongue portion 6 so that it first bends outward toward the rear end portion 3 side after passing through the perforation (the state shown in FIG. 6B), and to It plays a role in supporting 3.

The holding groove 12 forms a space for holding the main body of the indicator ring 1, that is, the front piece 7 and the back piece 8 bent through the bending part 2, and is formed by holding either the clamping blades 9 or 10. , or grooves are formed on both sides.

14 is a support shaft that supports the clamping blades 9 and 10, and 15 is a handle of the fixed pliers b. When the fixed pliers b configured in this way are used to hold the marker ring 1 as shown in Figure 6, and the animal's ear is further inserted and the fixed pliers b are tightened, the tip tongue 6 is bent and securely attached to the ear. Fixed.

(Effect of the invention) In this way, the fixing device of the present invention can be easily fixed to the animal's ear with one touch by pinching and tightening the indicator ring 1, and the fixed indicator ring 1 can be attached to the tip of the animal's ear. As soon as the section 6 passes through the borehole 4, it is immediately bent outwards, so that along the rear end section 3,
It is bent without leaving any space between it and the marker ring 1 and is fixed without loosening. This is because the force applied as a flow of mechanical force in the band-shaped plate is more natural and easier to bend when it goes toward the outside (toward the rear end 3 side). Since the pressing forces from both clamping blades of the fixed pliers b are applied relative to each other, the clamping blades are configured to be tightly clamped and extremely effective in bending. In comparison, for example, in the case where the protrusion 13' is bent inward (towards the surface piece 7) as shown in FIG. Since the bending force is applied only by the fitting recess 11' provided downwardly on the surface piece 7 side, the force is not sufficient and the tip tongue part 6
is separated from the surface piece 7, rotates around and bends, and becomes loose, making it easy to fall off.

As mentioned above, the fixing device of the present invention is easy to use and can be fixed without loosening, and because of the simple structure of the clamping blade, it can be applied to the clamping blade of general pliers, or it can be attached to the clamping blade of general pliers. It may be constructed of a clamping tool, and is easy to manufacture.
