Identification device and method for manufacturing thereof

Abstract

Device for identifying articles such as animals, comprising a male part and a female part, which male part comprises an arrow-shaped element and which female part is provided with a passage with a front end and a rear end, wherein the arrow-shaped element can be inserted into the passage along the front end, wherein the passage is provided close to the front end with at least one protruding element, and wherein the passage is partly closed close to the rear end by a closing part, wherein the partly closed passage, including the protruding element, are manufactured integrally from a hard material; method for manufacturing such a device.

         2 . Device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hard material is a hard plastic. 
     
     
         3 . Device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the hard plastic is acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) or polycarbonate (PC). 
     
     
         4 . Device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the female part weighs less than 3 g. 
     
     
         5 . Device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the maximum diameter of the arrow-shaped element is equal to or greater than the diameter of the passage. 
     
     
         6 . Device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the female part has a substantially disc-shaped body, wherein the passage is arranged substantially centrally on the disc-shaped body. 
     
     
         7 . Device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an electronic transponder comprising at least one electronic component and an antenna winding is incorporated in the female part. 
     
     
         8 . Device for identifying articles such as animals, comprising a male part and a female part, which male part comprises an arrow-shaped element and which female part is provided with a passage with a front end and a rear end, wherein the arrow-shaped element can be inserted into the passage along the front end, wherein the passage is provided close to the front end with at least one protruding element, wherein the passage is partly closed close to the rear end by a closing-part, wherein the partly closed passage, including the protruding element, are manufactured integrally from a hard material, wherein said front end of the passage has a periphery, wherein said at least one protruding element extends along only a part of said periphery. 
     
     
         9 . Device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the hard material is a hard plastic. 
     
     
         10 . Device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the hard plastic is acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) or polycarbonate (PC). 
     
     
         11 . Device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the female part weighs less than 3 g. 
     
     
         12 . Device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the maximum diameter of the arrow-shaped element is equal to or greater than the diameter of the passage. 
     
     
         13 . Device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the female part has a substantially disc-shaped body, wherein the passage is arranged substantially centrally on the disc-shaped body. 
     
     
         14 . Device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein an electronic transponder comprising at least one electronic component and an antenna winding is incorporated in the female part. 
     
     
         15 . Device for identifying articles such as animals, comprising a male part and a female part, which male part comprises an arrow-shaped element and which female part is provided with a passage with a front end and a rear end, wherein the arrow-shaped element can be inserted into the passage along the front end, wherein the passage is provided close to the front end with at least one protruding element, wherein the passage is partly closed close to the rear end by a closing-part, wherein the partly closed passage, including the protruding element, are manufactured integrally from a hard material, wherein two or more protruding elements are arranged at the front end. 
     
     
         16 . Device as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the hard material is a hard plastic. 
     
     
         17 . Device as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the hard plastic is acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) or polycarbonate (PC). 
     
     
         18 . Device as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the female part has a substantially disc-shaped body, wherein the passage is arranged substantially centrally on the disc-shaped body. 
     
     
         19 . Device as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein an electronic transponder comprising at least one electronic component and an antenna winding is incorporated in the female part. 
     
     
         20 . Device as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the perpendicular projections of the protruding parts and of the closing part onto a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the passage substantially do not overlap each other.
