Description
Tag Applicator The present invention relates to a device and method for tagging animals. In particular, although not exclusively, the present invention relates to a device and method for applying ear tags to livestock, such as cattle, goats and sheep.
Ear tags are commonly applied to livestock, such as cattle, goats or sheep, for identification purposes.
These tags are generally used to identify the owner of the animal, as well as the identity of the individual animal in the owner's herd or flock. Typically, each tag comprises a male portion and a female portion. To apply the tag, the male portion is inserted through the cartilage of an animal's ear and into engagement with a suitably shaped recess or aperture in the female portion.
Ear tags usually come in two forms: one-piece tags and two-piece tags. With one-piece tags, the male and female portions are provided on the same piece of material and the tag has to be bent into an annular shape to allow engagement of the male portion with the female portion. With most applicators, this bending action has to be carried out manually, making it difficult and time-consuming to apply the tags.
A two-piece tag is typically provided with a separate male and female portion. The tag can be assembled simply by driving the male portion through the cartilage of an animal's ear and into engagement with the female portion using a conventional pliers-type applicator. The upper jaw of such an applicator is typically provided with means for retaining a single male * 2 portion, while the lower jaw is typically provided with means for retaining a corresponding female portion. To use the applicator, jaws of the applicator are positioned around an animal's ear and the handles, squeezed. This causes the protrusion on the male portion to pierce through the animal's ear and into engagement with the female portion.
It is among the objects of embodiments of the present invention to provide an improved device for tagging livestock that is convenient to use.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for tagging an animal, said device comprising a first compartment for containing a plurality of first tag portions, a second compartment for containing a plurality of second tag portions, and driving means for moving a first tag portion relative to and into engagement with a second tag portion.
The device of the present invention comprises a first compartment for containing a plurality of first tag portions (e.g. male tag portions) and a second compartment for containing a plurality of second tag portions (e.g. female tag portions). Accordingly, the device can be used to store a plurality of tag portions for use. There is therefore no need to load the device repeatedly with individual tag portions after each application, making the device more convenient to use, for example, than conventional pliers-type applicators.
The device may also comprise means for moving a first tag portion from the first compartment into a ready-for-use position in which the first tag portion is in position for engagement with a corresponding second tag portion from the second compartment. For example, the device may be provided with means for moving (e.g. sliding) the first tag portions along the first compartment, such that the first tag portions can be brought (e.g. sequentially) into their respective ready-for-use positions. In one embodiment, the device may be provided with manually actuable means for moving (e.g. sliding) the first tag portions along the first compartment. In another embodiment, the device is provided with means for spring loading the first tag portions, such that the first tag portions are automatically moved along the first compartment as each first tag portion in the ready-for-use position is driven into engagement with a corresponding second tag portion.
The device may also comprise means for moving a second tag portion from the second compartment into a ready-for-use position in which the second tag portion is in position for engagement with a corresponding first tag portion from the first compartment. For example, the device may be provided with means for moving (e.g. sliding) the second tag portions along the second compartment, such that the second tag portions can be brought (e.g. sequentially) into their respective ready-for-use positions. In one embodiment, the device may be provided with manually actuable means for moving (e.g. sliding) the second tag portions along the second compartment. In another embodiment, the device is provided with means for spring loading the second tag portions, such that the second tag portions are * 4 automatically moved along the second compartment as each second tag portion in the ready-for-use position is driven into engagement with a corresponding first tag portion.
Preferably, the device comprises means for moving the first and second tag portions from their respective compartments into their ready-for-use positions. More preferably, such means move the first and second tag portions along at the same rate. In a preferred embodiment, the device includes means for spring loading the first tag portions and second tag portions in their respective compartments, so that the first tag portions and second tag portions can be moved sequentially into their respective ready-for-use positions. The device may also be provided with stop means for ensuring that only one first tag portion and/or one second tag portion is presented in their respective ready-for-use positions at a time.
The device may additionally include means (e.g. a clip) for releasab].y retaining the first tag portions and/or second tag portions in their ready-for-use positions. These means may be actuated to release the tag portions to allow the first tag portion to be driven into engagement with the second tag portion.
As mentioned above, the device comprises driving means for moving a first tag portion, for example, in its ready-for-use position, relative to and into engagement with a second tag portion, for example, in its ready-for-use position. The driving means may move the first tag portion towards the second tag portion or vice-versa.
Alternatively, the driving means may cause movement of
S
both the first tag portion and the second tag portion towards and into engagement with one another.
Preferably, the device comprises driving means for moving a first tag portion into engagement with a second tag portion.
The driving means may also be capable of driving the first tag portion and/or the second tag portion through part of the animal's body, for example, through a fold in the animal's skin or through the animal's ear. This causes the first tag portion and/or the second tag portion to pierce through part of the animal's body, such as its ear. Where the first tag portion is a male tag portion (see below), it is the first tag portion that is preferably driven through part of the animal's body.
Alternatively, however, the driving means itself may be driven through part of the animal's body, forming an aperture through which the first and/or second tag portion may be inserted.
Preferably, the driving means comprises a plunger that is movable from a first (e.g. upward) position to a second (e.g. downward) position. This movement allows the plunger to drive a first tag portion relative to and into engagement with a second tag portion.
Once the plunger is moved to its second position, it can be manually returned to its first position.
Preferably, however, the driving means additionally comprises biasing means for returning the plunger from its second position to its first position once a first tag portion from the first compartment is driven into engagement with a second tag portion from the second compartment. The biasing means may take the form of a spring or similar resilient means. The biasing means allows the device to be removed from an animal promptly after each tag application.
2ny suitable mechanism may be used to actuate the driving means. In a preferred embodiment, the plunger is movable using mechanical means, such as a rack and pinion mechanism. The driving means may be driven or actuated by a simple hand action, for example, by squeezing a handle. Alternatively, the driving means may be driven by electrical or hydraulic power.
The device of the present invention may be used to apply a variety of tags to animals, such as livestock.
Preferably, the device is used to apply ear tags to livestock. More preferably, the tags are formed from at least two tag portions (e.g. two-piece tags), namely, a first tag portion and a second tag portion. The first tag portion is preferably a male tag portion, and the second tag portion is preferably a female tag portion.
The male tag portion typically comprises a protrusion that is adapted to pierce a body part of the livestock animal and engage a receiving portion, such as a recess or aperture, in the female portion. Preferably, the receiving portion holds the protrusion securely, allowing the assembled tag to be securely fastened to an animal.
The first tag portion and/or the second tag portion may be provided with details of the animal's identity.
These details may be printed, inscribed or otherwise incorporated onto the tag portion(s). In some cases, the tags may carry details of the animal's owner. Where the tags are applied to livestock, the tags may be provided with details as to the animal's owner and the animal's individual identity within a flock or herd.
The first tag portions (e.g. male tag portions) may be loaded into the first compartment of the device as discrete tag portions. Alternatively, the first tag portions may be releasably joined together by breakable seals. The seals may be broken before or as each first tag portion is applied to an animal. In one embodiment, the device further comprises cutting means (e.g. blade(s)) for breaking the seals between the first tag portions. The cutting means may be actuable to break the seal between a first tag portion in the ready-for-use position and the remaining first tag portion(s) as the first tag portion in the ready-for-use position is driven relative to and into engagement with a corresponding second tag portion. For example, the cutting means may take the form of a blade provided on the plunger for driving the male tag portions relative to and into engagement with a corresponding female tag portions.
The second tag portions (e.g. female tag portions) may be loaded into the second compartment of the device as discrete tag portions. Alternatively, the second tag portions may be releasably joined together by breakable seals. The seals may be broken before or as each second tag portion is applied to an animal. In one embodiment, the device further comprises cutting means for breaking the seals between the second tag portions. Preferably, the cutting means are actuable to break the seals between the second tag portions as the second tag portions are loaded into the second compartment. Such cutting means may take the form of retractable blades, which may be actuable to break the seals between the second tag portions while the second tag portions are loaded into the second compartment.
In one embodiment, the device comprises a door that may be opened to provide access into the first and/or second compartments. In one embodiment, the door is a sliding door that may be opened to provide access into the second compartment for containing the second tag portions. The door may be coupled to the retractable blades, such that, when the door is in open position, the blades are in their extended (cutting) position. When the second tag portions are loaded into the second compartment, they may be pushed against the extended blades. Thus causes the seals between the second tag portions to be cut. When the door is shut, the retractable blades are brought to their retracted (non-cutting) position.
The number of first tag portions loaded in the first compartment may be 2 to 100, preferably 5 to 50, more preferably 10 to 20. Similarly, the number of second tag portions loaded in the second compartment may be 2 to 100, preferably 5 to 50, more preferably 10 to 20. In one embodiment, the number of first tag portions loaded in the first compartment is equal to the number of second tag portions loaded in the second compartment.
The device of the present invention may be used to apply tags to any animal, for example, any livestock animal. Examples include cattle, sheep, goats and pigs.
Preferably, the device is used to apply tags to sheep and goats.
The device may be used to apply tags to any suitable body part of the animal. As described above, device may be used to apply tags to a fold in the animal's skin, or, more preferably, to an animal's ear. The device may include receiving means adapted to receive and position the body part to be tagged in a position whereby, upon actuation of the driving means, the first tag portion engages the body part to be tagged and the second tag portion. For example, the device may include a recess shaped to receive an animal's (e.g. sheep's) ear and position the ear in position whereby, upon actuation of the driving means, the first tag portion engages the body part to be tagged and the second tag portion.
According to a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of tagging an animal, said method comprising providing a device as described above, and actuating the driving means so as to move a first tag portion relative to and into engagement with a body part of the animal and a second tag portion.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows an external view of a device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a view of the device of Figure 1 along the line A-A.
Figures 1 and 2 show a device or applicator 10 for applying ear tags to sheep or goats. The applicator 10 comprises a first compartment 12 for containing a plurality of (e.g. ten) male tag portions (not shown) and a second compartment 14 for containing a plurality of (e.g. ten) female tag portions (not shown). Each male tag portion includes a protrusion that is adapted to fit into an aperture in each female tag portion. The male tag portions are loaded into the first compartment 12 as a single unit in which the individual male tag portions are joined to one another by breakable seals. The female tag portions are loaded into the second compartment 14 as a single unit in which the individual female tag portions are joined to one another by breakable seals. The device is provided with a door 26, which may be slid open to provide access to the first and second compartments 12, 14.
The applicator 10 includes driving means for driving a male tag portion from the first compartment 12 into engagement with a female tag portion from the second compartment 14. The driving means includes a plunger 16 coupled to a rack and pinion mechanism 18 that allows the plunger 16 to be moved up and down. The rack and pinion mechanism 18 is coupled to a handle 20, which may be squeezed to move the plunger 16 from an upward position to a downward position. The rack and pinion mechanism 18 is biased by spring 22, such that, when pressure on the handle 20 is released, the plunger 16 returns from its downward position to its upward position. The plunger 16 includes a blade (not shown) for cutting the seal between the male tag portions. * 11
The applicator 10 is provided with cutting means in the form of retractable blades 24. The retractable blades 24 are coupled to the door 26, such that when the door 26 is open, the blades 24 are in a cutting (extended) position as shown in Figure 2.
The applicator 10 is provided with a spring loading means 28 that spring load the male tag portions and female tag portions in their respective compartments 12, 14. The spring loading means 28 are capable of sliding the male tag portions and female tag portions along their respective compartments 12, 14 sequentially into respective ready-for-use positions A, B. Stops 30, ensure that only one male tag portion and one female tag portion are presented at positions A and B at a time.
When a male tag portion and female tag portion are in their respective ready-for-use positions A, B, the plunger 16 may be actuated to drive the male tag portion at A through the ear of a sheep or goat and into engagement with a corresponding female tag portion at B. The downward motion of the plunger 16 also breaks the seal between the male tag portion at position A and the remaining male tag portions.
The applicator 10 is provided with a recess 32 that is shaped to receive a portion of a sheep or goat's ear.
To use the applicator 10, the door 26 is opened and a plurality of male tag portions and female tag portions are loaded into their respective compartments 12, 14. As described above, the female tag portions are loaded into the applicator 10 as single units. To load the second compartment 14, the female tag portions are pushed against the extended blades 24, causing them to be cut into individual tag portions. When the door 26 is shut, the blades 24 retreat, allowing the tag portions to slide along the second compartment 14 as described below. A sheep or goat's ear may then be positioned in the recess 32. When the handle 20 is squeezed, the plunger 16 is moved downwards to drive a male tag portion at position A through the sheep or goat's ear and into engagement with a female tag portion at position B. The downward motion of the plunger 16 also breaks the seal between the male tag portions at position A and the remaining male tag portions. The protrusion of the male tag portion is engaged and retained by the aperture in the female tag portion, allowing the assembled tag to be securely fastened to the ear.
When pressure on the handle 20 is released, the spring 22 returns the plunger 16 to its upward position, allowing the sheep or goat's ear to be removed from the applicator 10. The spring loading means 28 provide a biasing force that slides the remaining male tag portions and female tag portions along their respective compartments 12, 14, such that a new male tag portion 14 and female tag portion 16 are presented at positions A and B, respectively.
