EARMARK AND MEANS 0]? ATTACHMENT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 19, 1911.
Application filed May 4, 1911. Serial No. 625,026.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM BURGESS, a citizen of the Dominion of New Zealand, and residing at Hawera, in the Provincial District of Taranaki, in,the Dominion of New Zealand, have invented a certain new and useful Improved Earmark and Means of Attaching It, of which the following is a specification.
The invention provides an improved clip for securing a marking disk or plate to the ear of an animal.
According hereto, a U shaped metal spring is provided upon one of its members with a spike located opposite to a hole in the opposing member. In attaching the clip, the spike, by means of pliers, is passed through the ear'of the animal and through the hole in the opposing member referred to. In its passage the spike slightly expands a slotted plate, which then passes into a recess or recesses in the spike, thereby clamping it in position.
I will now particularly describe my invention by the aid of the drawing wherein Figure 1, is an elevation, Fig. 2, is a cross section, Figs. 3 and 1 are respectively side and rear elevations of part of the device, and Fig. 5, a front elevation showing a modification.
The clip is preferably made of spring steel which may be galvanized, and is bent as shown in the drawing to form the members 1 and 2, the member 1 having the spike 3 riveted upon it as clearly shown in Fig. 3, the member 2 being bent over endwise upon a locking plate 4 which is secured within it by a rivet 5, and has a hole 6 corresponding to, but slightly less in diameter than, the hole in the member, and a long narrow bifurcation 7 which permits the expansion of the plate to allow the spike to pass through up to the circular recess 8 into which the plate passes and so grips the spike. A tag or label 9 which may be of any shape or material, bears the users brand and is passed upon the clip before it is attached to the animals ear. The tag or label may be colored, inscribed or marked, in any desired manner.
Instead of a tag or label 9, a plate 10 (Fig. 4:) of any desired shape may be secured to the clip, or the clip itself may have a distinguishing shape. guishing plate 11 integral with the member 1 and having protuberances 12.
The recess in the spike may obviously be of any form, for instance, instead of being circular one or more niched recesses may be formed to receive the locking plate upon the opposing member of the clip. The locking plate also need not necessarily be exactly as shown provided that it is bifurcated and is adapted to open or move aside for the passage of the spike, and then to pass into a recess or recesses in the spike to lock it in position.
What I do claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is In a device for securing a mark to the ear of an animal, the combination with a spring clip having opposing members and a spike projecting from one member, of a portion bent back upon the other member and parallel thereto having registering openings,
and a locking plate bifurcated at one end having an opening therein in alinement with the openings in the bent over portion and the part adjacent, and secured at its other end between the said other member and the bent portion thereof, the said spike adapted to pass through the ear of the animal and the bifurcation in the locking plate and being locked thereby.
In testimony whereof I have aifixed my signature in presence of two witnesses. I
WILLIAM BURGESS. Witnesses:
ELLIOTT LESTRANGE BARTON, CHARLES FRANoIs HILL.
