Abstract

An electromagnetic or radio transmitting identity tag 5 is retained in a chamber 4 in a housing 1 which is adapted to be inserted into an object. The housing 1 may be in the form of a plastics nail having a taper 2 at one end and an enlarged head 3 at the other end, whereby the housing can be easily driven or hammered into a wooden object such as a tree, telegraph pole or electricity pole. The tag 5 may be retained in the chamber 4 by lips 6, or by adhesive, or may be covered by a resin. The chamber 4 can be formed as the housing is moulded, and the tag 5 can be incorporated during fabrication of the housing 1 of the insert. <IMAGE>

Description

IDENTITY TAGS This invention relates to electro-magnetic or radio transmitting identity tags.
Electro-magnetic or radio transmitting identity tags are devices which contain within their electronic components a unique code which can be identified when they are placed within the electromagnetic field of a reader device or within range of a radio receiver device. Identity tags are typicaly used for implanting into objects or animals for identification purposes. In some cases the objects are made of a substance such as wood whereby the means of implanting requires the identity tag to be inserted into a cavity within the object.
According to the present invention, there is provided an insertion means which allows an identity tag to be inserted into an object without the need for a pre-arranged cavity, which means comprises a housing incorporating a chamber within it, adapted to contain an identity tag, which housing is adapted to be inserted into the object. The housing preferably comprises a taper at one end to assist in its insertion into the object. In some cases the housing can comprise a larger portion at the opposite end to the taper to increase the area of impact when hammering into an object. The chamber into which is placed the identity tag may incorporate one or more raised lips which retain the identity tag within the chamber and prevent it from falling out of the chamber prior to insertion into the object.
The housing can be in the form of a nail or the like and can be made of any suitable material. Preferably the housing is made of a strong plastics material and the chamber can then be formed in the housing as it is made e.g. by moulding.
The identity tag can be held in the chamber by means of an adhesive or the like or it can be covered by a resin. The size of the chamber is adapted to the particular size of the identity tag used.
The device of the invention can easily be driven into wooden objects such as telegraph poles, electricity poles, trees etc.
depending on the purpose of the identity tag.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows a vertical section through the housing.
Figure 2 shows a plan view of the housing.
Referring to the drawing as shown in Figure 1, the housing comprises a shaft 1 which is tapered at end 2 and at the opposite end there is a head 3.
Within the length of the shaft 1 is a chamber 4 into which is housed an identity tag 5. The chamber incorporates one or more lips 6 which retain the identity tag 5 within the chamber.

Claims (1)

  1. Claims
    1. An insert which comprises a housing incorporating a chamber within it, adapted to contain an identity tag.
    which insert is adapted to be inserted into an object.
    2. An insert as claimed in claim 1 which is tapered at one end to assist in its insertion into an object.
    3. An insert as claimed in claim 1 or 2 in which the chamber into which is placed the identity tag incorporates one or more raised lips adapted to retain the identity tag within the chamber.
    4. An insert as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3 which is in the form of a nail.
    5. An insert as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4 which is made of a plastics material and the chamber is formed in the housing as it is made.
    6. An insert as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5 in which the identity tag is be held in the chamber by means of an adhesive or the like or is covered by a resin.
    7. An insert as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5 in which the insert is made of a plastics material and the identity tag is incorporated into the insert during the fabrication of the insert.
    8. An insert as claimed in claim 7 in which the identity tag is encapsulated within the insert.
    10. An insert as claimed in any one of the preceding claims in which the identity tag is an electromagnetic coding device.
    11. An insert as claimed in any one of the preceding claims in which the identity tag is a radio transmitter.
    12. An insert as claimed in any one of the preceding claims in which the identity tag can be identified by means of a signal transmitted to the device.
    13. An insert as hereinbefore described with reference to the drawings.
