IPOUL'IRY LEG-BAND.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 10, 191W.
Application led March 26, 1917. Serial No. 157,434.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, DAVID D. Rims, a citizen of the United States, residing at College Place, in the county of Walla /Valla and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Poultry Leg-Bands, of which the following is a specication.
This invention relates to devices used by poultry raisers to distinguish one fowl from the other, and more particularly a band or ring which is fastened around the leg of the fowl.
The invention has for its object to provide a novel and improved band of the kind stated which canl be easily applied or removed, the ends of the band being joined in a manner whereby a secure fastening is had, and one which is devoid of projecting parts.
In order that the invention may be better understood, reference is had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in said drawing- Figure l is a plan view of the band before it is applied;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the band as applied, and
Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the band arranged as shown in Fig. 2.
Referring specifically to the drawing, 5 denotes a band or strip of thin sheet metal or other suitable flexible material which is reduced in width at one end to form a tongue 6 extending outward in the direction of the length of the band. Adjacent to the other end of the band, the latter has two parallel slits 7 and 8, respectively, extending transversely of the band, and that end of the band from which the tongue extends, has a transverse slit 9. One side of the band may be provided with a suitable identifying inscription as shown in Fig. 1.
In applying the device, the band 5 is wrapped around the leg of the fowl and the two ends are brought in lapping posit-ion.
The end of the band which has the tongue 6 is on the outside, and the tongue is passed through the slits 8 and 7 in the order named, it passing first behind the band through the slit S and then being carried to the outside of the band through the slit 7. The projecting portion of the tongue on the outside of the band is bent across the joint and inserted through the slit 9 so that its extremity lies between the two lapping portions of the band as shown in Fig. 3.
By constructing the band and joining its ends in the manner stated, the band is left smooth on the outside and devoid of projecting parts so that there is nothing to get loose or catch, and there are also no loose ends for the fowl to pick. The band can be easily applied or removed, and it can be cheaply manufactured. The manner in which the ends of the band are connected makes a smooth and secure joint, and the band is not liable to be accidentally disconnected after it is applied.
I claim:
l. A poultry leg band comprising a flexible strip having a pair of slits at one end and a projecting tongue at the other end, with a slit in the body of the strip at the end from which the tongue extends.
2. A poultry leg band comprising a flexible strip having a pair of slits at one end and a projecting tongue at the other end, with a slit in the body of the strip at the end from which the tongue extends, said strip being lapped at its ends when applied and the end of the strip having the pair of slits being under the other end, the tongue passing through said slits and extending across the outside of the joint and having its extremity passingV through vthe second mentioned slit and seating between the lapping ends of the strip.
In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.
DAVID D. BEES.
