Apparatus (1) for fixing identification tags on animals, composed of two symmetric parallel sections (P1, P2), each of which has, in its central part, a gap (4), both sections (1, 2) being connected to each other by means of rectangular metal strips (8) that have the same form, overlapping and crosswise to each other, these being connected by a pin (9) which carries a spring (10) the ends (10a) of which are fixed to pins (11) which connect the metal strip (8) to the corresponding section of the apparatus in a rotatable manner, mentioned metal strips (8) having, at their opposite ends, "L"-shaped gaps (13) which have pins (14) perpendicular to the sides of the corresponding section, that go through mentioned sides, and are fixed to the sides in such a manner as to, when the two sections (1, 2) close upon closing the handle ends of the apparatus (1), the tag is closed, at which instant the corresponding pins reach the juncture of the two sides of the "L"-shaped gap (13), the pin afterwards proceeding up the shorter leg of the "L"-shaped gap (13) as pressure is maintained on the handles (5), resulting in the pincer end of the apparatus to open and facilitate the removal of the tag while the handle ends (5) remain closed. |
