Embodiment Construction

[0030] The present invention generally provides a tag, and in particular an animal tag, which, in its construction and in its manufacture, can provide the benefits of a generally flexible flag portion and a permanently fixed generally rigid portion, in which the generally flexible Appropriate indicia for identifying the animal is typically received on the flag portion, and the permanently affixed generally rigid portion may function as a male or female tag member. Thus, the present invention seeks to achieve a simpler and more economical manufacture of brackets and seeks to overcome or at least alleviate the problems previously outlined with respect to existing labels or their methods of manufacture.

[0031] Therefore referring to the attached figure 1 , shows a possible embodiment of the invention in the form of a strip 1 of detachable generally flexible parts 2 which may for example have lines of weakness or perforations 3 to It is easy to separate them when they need to b...

Abstract

An animal tag includes a flag (11) of substantially flexible material about which is secured a substantially rigid assembly (14) including a flanged member (15), a cap (17), and an insert (18) which assists the retention of the head of a male tag (not shown) within the cap (17). In another embodiment the tag is formed as a strip of indeterminate length of the flexible material. The aperture (19) may also be omitted and formed during use of the tag, by the head of the male tag. The substantially rigid assembly (14) may provide part of a male tag or part of a female tag as shown.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in and relating to labels and methods of manufacture thereof. For simplicity, reference will be made to "animal tags" throughout, but it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application will have significance throughout the field and for all uses of all types of tags, including luggage tags, pharmaceutical tags, Gardening labels and more. For the purposes of this specification, the term "animal label" is intended to include all types of labels. Background technique [0002] Ear tags are used internationally in order to uniquely identify animals. In order to minimize the risk of the tag being torn or broken from the animal, a flexible material is of great benefit for the use of the tag. [0003] Various proposals have been made for this purpose, including those in which a flexible flag on which appropriate indicia can be printed is provided with appropriate male or female label portions ...
