Abstract

Cette invention concerne un ensemble timbre (5) avec adhésif autocollant par pression pour fixation semi-permanente sur un animal vivant. Cet ensemble peut se coller facilement et proprement sur un animal vivant. De plus, il évite d'irriter la peau et conserve un pouvoir adhésif supérieur qui lui permet de rester intact et en place sur l'animal pendant un long laps de temps. Cette invention peut, par exemple, servir à fixer un dispositif sur un humain ou un animal.
