Application filed February 26, 1925. Serial No. 11,806.
This invention relates to an improved leg band for poultry or the like and seeks, among other objects, to provide a device of this character wherein, when applied, the ends of the band will be automatically held locked together so that accidental release of the band and the consequent loss thereof will be effeotually avoided.
The invention seeks, as a-further object, to
provide a band wherein, ,if desired, an auxiliary locking key may be employed for positively locking the ends of the band together.
And the invention seeks as a still further object, to provide a device which will be of before the ends thereof are engaged with each other.
Figure & is an elevation showing the use of an auxiliary locking key in conjunction with theband.
Figure 5 is an elevation showing the indicia on the band. 1
In carrying the invention into effect, I employ a strap 10 of suitable resilient sheet metal and formed on said strap at one end thereof are axially alined loops 11 lying flush with the side edges of the strap. Ini-- tially, the strap is provided, at its adjacent end, with a pair of short tongues which are rolled back to provide said loops, and formed in the confrontin edges of said loops, at the rear sides thereo are like notches 12, defining projecting flanges 13 at the forward sides of the loops. At its opposite end, the strap is reduced to define a medial tongue 14 of a width to be freely received between theoonfronting ends of the loops 11, and formed on said tongue at its freeend is a transverse tubular head 15 overhanging the side edges of the tongue. Initially, the tongue is provided with a widened terminal which is rolled back to produce the head and it is now to be observed that the head is of a length closely approaching the distance between the notches 12 of the loops 11 while the internal diameter of said loops is substantially equal to the external diameter of the head. Accordingly, by flexing the strap, the ends of the strap may, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, be brought together and the head 15 passed through the notches 12 of said loops to rest at its ends within the loops, so that the flanges 13 will thus engage the ends of the head for securing the ends of the strap together. As shown in Figure 3, the ends of the strap normally stand apart so that when the strap is thus flexed to engage the head 15 of the tongue 14 between the loops 11, the strap will be brought under tension tending to press the head 11 against the flanges 13 of said loops.
Accordingly, the ends of'the strap will be automatically held looked together since, as
will be seen, only a rearward movement of the head 15'through the notches 12 will sufficeto disengage the head from said loops. However, if desired, a cotter'key, as shown in Figure 4: at 16, may be passed through the loops 11 land through the head 15 and the ends of the key bent up, as shown, for
positively locking the ends ofthe strap to' gether. I accordingly provide a particular- 1y simple and efficient device for the pur-.
pose set forth and, as will now be appreciated, a device which may be economically produced. As" suggested in Figure 5, the
strap may be embossed with a number or letter, orboth a number and letter, for identifying the animal to which the band is attached.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:
1. A leg band comprising a strap having transversely alined loops at one end, with the confronting edges of the loops cut away at the rear to form flanges in line with the for ward sides of the loops, and having a head at the opposite end to it between the said loops, said head having opposite end portions projecting to engage behind the flanges at the forward sides of the loops.
2. A leg band comprising a metal strap having transversely alined loopsat one end flush with the edges of the strap and having their inner edges cut away in the rear to provide forward flanges, said strap having opposite edge portions cut away at the opposite end to form a tongue, and having a head at the outer end of and projecting beyond the edges of the tongue to come between the said loops and engage behind the flanges at the forward sides thereof.
3. A leg band including a strap provided at one end with spaced loops formed at their confronting ends with notches located at the rear sides of the loops, and a tongue at the opposite end of the strap receivable between said loops and provided with a. tubular head receivable through said notches to engage at its ends within the confronting ends of the loops connecting the ends of the strap with each other, and a key extending through the loops and through said head locking the parts together.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
