Definitions
- This invention relates to an ear tag applicator for the application of ear tags to animals such as cattle and the like for identification.
- ear tag applicators are already well-known in the art and disclosed in various patent specifications. When considering those that relate to applicators for the placement of two-piece ear tags, a variety of methods have been sought for releasing the ear tag once applied.
- the simplest versions are plier type applicators in which the handles are biased away from each other so that the jaws pivot to an open position as the handles similarly pivot away from each other to release the ear tag. If the animal should move while this is taking place, damage can be caused to the animal's ear. With the handles requiring manual closing, the biasing means cannot open the jaws of the applicator until the user releases pressure on the handles and this creates some delay.
- the present invention will be particularly described with respect to two piece ear tags which will be referred to as comprising a male and a female tag for simplicity, although these together form part of a single tag. However, it is to be appreciated that the present invention could be readily used with a single piece ear tag where the animal's ear provides the resistance to the tag pulling out.
- the invention may broadly be said to consist in an animal ear tag applicator comprising:
- first and second handle portions to move said first and second jaw portions such that movement of said first handle portion with respect to ⁇ ]_5 said second handle portion drives the first and second jaw portions towards each other to engage said portion of said ear tag with an animal's ear;
- biasing means to bias said jaw portions to an open position
- said first jaw portions can move under the action of the biasing 20 means to an open position independently of said handle portions but only after the portion of the ear tag has fully engaged with the animal's ear.
- said first jaw portion is provided with an elongate engagement means to engage within a cavity of said portion of said ear tag.
- said elongate engagement means is adapted to move
- said elongate engagement means is pivotally connected to said first jaw portion or has some flexibility to allow at least partial rotation of said elongate engagement means outwardly from said applicator.
- said first jaw portion is disconnected from corresponding motion with said handle portions only after said portion of the ear tag has fully engaged with the animal's ear such that said first jaw portion may rotate about a common pivot axis to said open position independently of said handle portions.

- FIGURE 3 shows a cross-sectional elevation through the apparatus of Figures 1 and 2;
- FIGURE 4 shows perspective view of a further embodiment of an applicator
- FIGURE 5 shows a cross-sectional view through the embodiment of Figure 4
- FIGURES 6A & 6B show respectively side and end cross sectional views of the jaw/pin assembly of figures 4 and 5;
- FIGURE 7 shows an exploded view of the embodiment of figures 4 to 6;
- FIGURE 8 shows the embodiment of Figures 4 to 7 with its pin pivoted outwardly
- FIGURE 9 shows the embodiment of Figures 4 to 8 in its jaw-closed position with an ear tag in place
- FIGURE 10 shows the applicator of Figure 9 before the jaws have closed.
- FIGURE 1 1 shows the applicator of Figures 9 and 1 0 after the pin has released from the tag.
- the applicator 1 is shown with a first jaw 2 and a second jaw 3 which may respectively engage first and second or male and female parts 50, 51 of a two piece ear tag or alternatively a single piece tag (not shown).
- first and second or male and female parts 50, 51 of a two piece ear tag or alternatively a single piece tag (not shown).
- the portions of the ear tag can be engaged on opposed sides of the animal's ear to retain the tag in the animal's ear.
- movement of the first and second jaw portions 2, 3 is provided by manipulation of first and second handle portions 4 and 5 respectively.
- the handle portions 4 and 5 are drawn towards each other, the jaw portions 2 and 3 are moved towards a closed position in which engagement of the ear tag can take place.
- the jaw portions 2 and 3 are shown in an open position.
- the handle portions and jaw portions are provided as part of a pliers type arrangement, other configurations are possible.
- Other forms of handles may be provided with differing actions to drive the first and second jaws towards each other.
- the pliers type arrangement with the handles and jaws acting about a common pivot 6 is preferred for simplicity.
- first jaw portion 2 may be provided with an elongate engagement means 7 suitably in the form of a pin, which is provided to engage within a cavity of a male tag 50 and drive that tag towards the second jaw 3 and the female tag 51 retained by the retention means 8.
- retention means 8 may be in the form of a pivoting plate 8 and the female tag 51 may be placed in the cavity 9 underneath the plate 8 to be retained in place.
- suitable biasing means such as a spring 1 0 can be provided to place some pressure on the female tag 51 contained in the cavity 9 and retain the tag 51 in place.
- the handle portions 4 and 5 and jaw 5 portions 2 and 3 are provided with a common axis being the pivot axis 6, at least one of the jaw portions 2, is capable of independent movement relative to the handle portions towards the open position.
- the first jaw 2 which is provided as a separate portion to the driving handle portion 5.
- the 0 lower jaw 3 is provided integral with the handle portion 4 so that these two provide a static relationship about the pivot axis 6.
- the upper or first jaw portion 2 is connected to or is integral with a rotating latch 1 1 acting about the pivot axis 6. It can be seen that as the second handle portion 5 is drawn towards the first handle portion 4, an engagement means 1 2 pivoted at 14 provided on this second handle portion 5 engages the rotating latch 1 1 to drive the first jaw 2 towards a closed position.
- releasing means 1 3 which, in this form, is provided as a downwardly projecting portion from the handle portion 4, can engage engagement means 1 2 and rotate the engagement means 1 2 about its own pivot axis 1 4 to a position where the engagement means 1 2 no longer engages rotating latch 1 1 .
- the first jaw 2 is then free to rotate about the pivot axis 6 independently of the handle portion 5.
- the catch or other engagement means 1 2 is shown biased by spring 52 into a position engaging with the latch 1 1 .
- the interrelationship of the projection 1 3, the latch 1 1 , catch 1 2 and the movement of the pin 7 with the male tag 50 is such that only after the male tag 50 is fully engaged with the female tag 51 will the jaw 2 be released.
- Biasing means are provided to bias the first jaw 2 towards the open position. Biasing means may be provided in a number of alternative forms. Generally, the biasing means may be provided as some form of spring and can comprise such configurations as a compression spring 1 5 between the first and second jaw portions, a tension spring 1 6 acting between the first jaw 2 and the handle portion 4 or a circular spring (not shown) acting around the pivot axis 6. The particular form of biasing means can be varied as required. However, a tension spring 1 6 as shown may be preferred to reduce the complexity of the apparatus around the pivot axis 6 if a spring acting around that pivot 6 were used, and to leave the area between the jaws free as may be more difficult with a compression spring 1 5 as shown.
- biasing means such as a compression spring 29 may be used to bias the handles 4, 5 into an open position as a user releases pressure on the handles.
- the biasing means 29 may be provided in a variety of forms including a variety of springs.
- the first jaw portion 2 is free to rotate to the open position under the influence of the biasing means.
- the first jaw portion 2 withdraws until contact is made with the bearing surface 1 7 on an adjacent end of the first handle portion 4. This contact between the first jaw 2 and the bearing surface 1 7 defines the extent of rotation of the first jaw portion
- shock absorbing means 1 8 may be provided to act between first jaw 2 and the bearing surface 1 7.
- the use of some resilient material in this portion may be sufficient to reduce the shock through the apparatus as the apparatus reaches the open position.
- rotation of the rotating latch portion 1 1 with the first jaw portion 2 can be utilised to stop the first jaw portion 2 hitting the handle portion 4.
- a second bearing surface on the engagement means 1 2 may be provided such as a further protrusion 1 9.
- the first jaw 2 will rotate until the rotating latch portion 1 1 bears on the second engaging portion 1 9.
- a projection on latch 1 1 to hit or drive the face of catch 1 2 may be used. This may be preferred in order to remove contact between the first jaw portion 2 and the handle portion 4 entirely.
- the elongate engagement means or driving pin 7 may be provided at such a forward facing angle, A°, to the first jaw portion 2 so that, as the jaw portions rotate about the pivot axis 6 towards the closed position, the pin 7 may be substantially perpendicular to the lower jaw 3 when the tip 20 of the pin 7 has travelled almost to the plate 8. This is so that the pin 7 is approximately perpendicular as the tip 20 of the male tag 50 contacts the animal's ear. This is the point at which the greatest strength is required in the pin 7 to commence the piercing of the ear.
- the use of hardened or hard material for the latch 1 1 may be beneficial particularly if the majority of the apparatus is made from such materials as plastic materials and these may wear in time.
- An alternative construction may make many of the components from metals and, particularly such a metal as aluminium to reduce weight.
- the engagement means 1 2 may be provided from a hard material and in two portions as shown in Figure 2.
- spring or biasing means may be used to both open the handles 4, 5 and relocate the catch 1 2 into a position to again contact latch 1 1 or these two steps may be performed by separate springs or other biasing means as previously described.
- the invention provides an applicator for animal ear tags which allows independent movement of at least one of the jaw portions under the influence of the biasing means once the jaws have reached closed position at which the male and female tags are fully engaged and the ear tag is fully inserted. This reduces the need to open the handle portions 4 and 5 to disengage the applicator from the ear tag. Also, there is no need to provide for the engaging portion 7 itself the ability to release the ear tag while the jaws are still in the closed position.
- the applicator 1 is provided in much the same manner as the previous embodiment with the first jaw 2 being provided as a retractable jaw which is released from its direct rotational connection to the handles 4, 5 so that it can rotate to the open position independently of the handles 4, -5 under suitable biasing means.
- the elongate pin 7 is mounted on a mounting block 22 which itself is pivotally mounted by a pivotal connection 23 to the first jaw 2. As can be seen particularly in Figure 8, this allows the elongate pin 7 to rotate outwardly from the first jaw 2 in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 4.
- the mounting block 22 is pivotally mounted so that the longitudinal axis of the elongate pin 7 passes behind the pivot axis 23. In this manner, the longitudinal force along the elongate pin 7 during the tagging process helps to stabilise the elongate pin 7 in its proper position for insertion rather than encouraging it to rotate outwardly.
- the mounting block 22 is provided with a cammed surface 25 which acts against a resilient member 26 to further stabilise the mounting block 22.
- the surface 25 can move against the resilient member 26 to allow such outward rotation.
- the member 26 biases the mounting block 22 into the pin insertion position, however, once overcome and the member 26 lies adjacent alternate surfaces of the mounting block 22, it can bias the mounting block 22 such that the elongate pin 7 is directed outwardly from the first jaw 2 and generally parallel with the overall direction of the first jaw 2, as shown in Figure 8.
- the mounting for the pin 7, or the pin itself could be at least partially flexible to again permit a forward rotation flowing of the pin 7 facilitating its release from the male tag
- this preferred embodiment reduces the likelihood of the ear tags 50, 51 jamming in the applicator 1 ⁇ causing damage to an animal's ear should it try to move away during the tagging process.
- the two separate modes of release coact together.
- the retractable upper jaw 2 as described in the first embodiment may still have a tendency to jam should the animal pull away during the tagging process.
- the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3 can have trouble releasing the elongate pin 7 from the male tag 50 as the pin 7 is jammed against the sides of the cavity in the male tag 50 in which it sits.
- the latch 1 1 of figures 1 to 3 has been replaced by an integral latch 30 provided at the pivoting end of the jaw 2 ' .
- the latch 30 fits between the bifurcated end 31 of the handle 5.
- the latch 30 includes a recess 39 into which a discrete member 33 of a hard material can be inserted to provide the surface engaged by the tip 38 on the catch 34.
- the catch 34 is biased into that engagement by a spring 36 mounted between a projection 37 on handle 5 and a recess 35 in the catch 34. In the position shown in Figure 5, the end of the projection 1 3 has just engaged the surface 40 of the catch 34 to start its pivoting and its release of the latch 30.
- a resilient stop 49 is shown provided for the end of the handle 4 to provide an abutment against the handle 5.
