ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240049685 titled 'ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a variation of a system that includes a tag with an inner face, an outer face with a digital optical identifier, and a set of perforations between the identifier and the panel's perimeter. The tag housing is molded around the panel's perimeter and through the set of perforations, supporting the inner face and encasing the panel's edge with a rim. A barb extends from the body of the tag opposite the rim, and a backing plate is configured to receive the barb. An applicator is used to drive the barb through an animal's ear and into the backing plate.

  • The system includes a tag with an inner face, outer face, and a digital optical identifier.
  • A set of perforations is present between the identifier and the panel's perimeter.
  • The tag housing is molded around the panel's perimeter and through the set of perforations.
  • The housing supports the inner face of the panel and encases the panel's edge with a rim.
  • A barb extends from the body of the tag opposite the rim.
  • A backing plate is designed to receive the barb.
  • An applicator is used to drive the barb through an animal's ear and into the backing plate.

Potential Applications:

  • Livestock identification and tracking
  • Animal research and monitoring
  • Inventory management in warehouses or storage facilities

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a secure and durable method of attaching tags to animals or objects
  • Enables easy identification and tracking of animals or objects
  • Reduces the risk of tag loss or damage

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency in livestock management and tracking
  • Enhanced accuracy in animal research and monitoring
  • Streamlined inventory management processes
  • Increased durability and longevity of tags


Original Abstract Submitted

one variation of a system includes a tag including a panel defining an inner face; an outer face opposite the inner face and comprising a digital optical identifier; and a set of perforations interposed between the digital optical identifier and a perimeter of the panel; a tag housing molded around the perimeter of the panel and through the set of perforations in the panel; defining a body supporting the inner face of the panel; defining a rim extending from the body, encasing an edge of the panel; extending through the set of perforations in the panel; and extending over the set of perforations in the panel; and a barb extending from the body opposite the rim; a backing plate configured to receive the barb of the tag housing; and an applicator configured to drive the barb through an ear of an animal and into the backing plate.
