Abstract

The invention is utilized in agriculture, specifically in the stock raising field, for animal identification and marking. The stock identification tag consists of two discs; disc (1) has a perpendicular nib (3) with a spike (5) with tapering braces (6) and external barbs (7) and (8), which are formed by the top of the disc; and disc (2) has a perpendicular sleeve (4) with internal barbs (9) and (10) and a protective ring (11) and stiffening ribs (12). When the nib (3) completely enters the sleeve (4), with its small external barb (7) it props against the sleeve's (4) small internal barb (9) and with its large external barb (8) it props against the sleeve's (4) large internal barb (10) and creates a double all-in-one disc (1) and (2) coupling. Besides, the disc's (1) nib (3) has a conical spike (5) which is made from a solid plastic, e.g. polyamide, with solidifying fibre or without it, and not less than three taper braces underneath (6), which along with the elastic plastic disc (1) completely form the nib's (3) large external barb (8), which has elastic features. During use the stock identification tag is totally all in one.<IMAGE>

Description

The invention is used in agriculture, specifically in the field of animal husbandry, for the identification and marking of animals.

The animal identification mark consists of two plates, the plate (1) having a perpendicular toe (3) with a pointed (5) tapering supports (6) and outer flaps (7) and (8) formed by the conical surfaces, and the plate (2) has a perpendicular sleeve (4) with inner flanges (9) and (10) and a guard ring (11) and stiffening edges (12). When the finger (3) is fully inserted into the sleeve (4), its outer small stop (7) is resting on the inner mini stop (9) of the sleeve (4) and its outer large stop (8) is resting on the inner large stop (10) of the sleeve (4). ) and form a double, non-destructive connection of the plates (1) and (2). In addition, the finger (3) of the plate (1) has a tapered spike (5) made of a rigid plastics material, such as polyamide with or without hardening fiber, having at least three downwardly tapering supports (6) at its lower part, which together with the resilient plastic of the plate (1) completely form the outer major flap (8) of the finger (3) having elastic properties.

Existing animal identification markings are completely indelible.

The invention is used in agriculture, specifically in the field of animal husbandry, e.g., for the identification and marking of animals.

There is a known animal identification mark for identifying and marking animals, consisting of a plate with removable animal identification records and fixation rings and attaching rings for the animal identification mark itself, in accordance with SU 1551304.

In this technical solution, the animal identification records are freely changeable, which makes such marking of animals unreliable and unprotected. Applying rings with an identification mark to the animal's skin is uncomfortable and painful for the animal.

Another livestock identification mark is known for identifying and marking livestock, comprising a disc with removable discs, leash rings, plates with fixed and non-removable information records, in accordance with patent SU 1551304.

In this technical solution, the animal identification records are freely changeable, which makes such marking of animals insufficiently reliable and protected against forgery. Applying rings with an identification mark to the animal's skin is uncomfortable and painful for the animal.

The closest known animal identification mark for identifying and marking animals is a finger with an outer flap, a tapered head and a nozzle, and a plate with a semi-closed cylindrical projection containing a resilient material with a flap known in the patent SU 1473697.

In this technical solution, the finger forms a reliable connection when entering the elastic material sleeve in the projection of the plate. However, such an animal identification tag is not completely reliable due to its high probability of being disassembled, while retaining the ability to be reattached, as pressure sometimes forces the finger to slide the sleeve over the projection of the plate without severely damaging it. In addition, information on this animal identification mark is completed on one side of the plate only. This makes them uncomfortable for animal keepers.

In view of the shortcomings of the known animal identification markers, a new animal identification mark is proposed, which means that, in order to ensure the maximum reliability of the animal identification, a non-destructive animal identification mark is proposed which has a double bond. It uses an original construction spike which, when trying to dismantle the existing animal identification mark, irreparably destroys the latter. The newly proposed livestock identification mark is shown in the following figures:

Figure 1 is a general view of the animal identification tag.

Fig. 2 is an illustration of a junction unit for an animal identification tag.

Fig. 3 shows the finger 3 of the animal identification mark plate 1.

Fig. 4 shows a pin 3 of finger 1 of the animal identification mark plate 1.

Fig. 5 shows a bushing 4 of the animal identification mark plate 2.

1, 2, finger 3, sleeve 4, spike 5, supports 6, finger prong 7, finger 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 the large flanges 8, the inner small flanges 9 of the sleeve, the large large flanges 10 of the sleeve, the guard ring 11 and the stiffening edges 12.

Both plates 1 and 2 are made of an elastic plastic, e.g. polyurethane 1 and 2. The plate 1 has a finger 3, with an outer tongue 7 and an outer tongue 8 and a pin 5 of the original shape shown in FIG. The spike 5 is made of a hard plastic having a higher modulus of elasticity, such as polyamide, which is shown in FIG. The upper part of the spike 5 is in the recess, has a conical shape, the bottom of which forms an outer tiny flap 7 of a finger 3, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the inner small flap 9 of the sleeve 4. At its lower part, the spike 5 has at least three downwardly tapering supports 6, which together with the resilient plastic part of the plate 1 completely form the outer major flap 8 of the finger 3, the outer large flange 8 having a larger diameter than the inner large flute 9. During the connection of the plates 1 and 2, the inner lugs 9 and 10 of the sleeve 4, which have a high elasticity, expand, allowing the finger 3 to enter fully into the sleeve 4 and form a permanent double connection.

The respective inside diameters of the sleeve 4 are larger than the corresponding diameters of the outer small and large flaps of the finger 3, which allows the finger 3 to rotate freely in the sleeve 4.

The sleeve 4 is surrounded by a protective ring 11 which, through the stiffening edges 12, increases the elasticity of the sleeve 4 and protects it from accidental mechanical impact.

Plates 1 and 2 contain completed animal identification records, usually a combination of letters and numbers as defined in the relevant regulatory documents.

The animal identification mark thus completed shall be affixed to the ear of the animal.

The proposed new animal identification mark is as follows:

The animal identification mark is affixed to the animal's ear by means of special pliers known in the art. The animal identification tag junction unit is shown in Fig. 4. During the identification of the animal identification tag, the finger 1 of the plate 1 pierces the tissue of the animal's ear with its piercing part 5 and enters fully into the bushing 4 of the plate 2, after passing the inner tongue 7 of the finger 3 to the inner minor tongue the plane 9 and the plane 8 of the outer major projection 8 of the finger 3 resting on the inner major projection plane 10 of the sleeve 4, thereby forming a double non-removable joint. In an attempt to disassemble such a joint, i.e. in any way to squeeze or withdraw the finger 3 of the plate 1 from the bushing 4 of the plate 2, the spike 5 at the bottom of its piercing part, i.e. the outer tongue 7 is supported by the inner tongue plane 9 of the sleeve 4 supported by the stiffening edges 12 and the outer tongue 8 of the finger 3, which has a sharp pin base 6, which in particular improves the reliability of the socket 4 For this reason, as further attempts are made to squeeze or pull the finger 1 of the plate 1 out of the bushing 4 of the plate 2, the support 6 of the lower part of the spike 5 resting on the elastic part of the bushing 4 begins to expand and irreversibly disrupt 8. In this case, the pin 5 will remain in the bushing 4 of the plate 2, and the plate 1 with the irreversibly disposed lower part of the finger 3 will become a separate piece of unsuitable material. In this case, the reconnection of the plates 1 and 2 is completely impossible. This makes the animal identification mark completely reliable for marking animals.

The animal identification mark may be produced in an industrial manner.
