Pet identification tag with improved mount
View Patent ↗An identification tag made from a flexible, durable material, and in a substantially flat, preferably symmetrical shape, and with a front side having a substantially flat surface, and a back side having a substantially flat surface, and a mount extending outward from the back surface and extending partially along the horizontal axis, equidistant from the vertical center. Disposed on the back surface under the mount is a recess extending below the surface, and substantially occupying the same surface area as the area covered by the mount. A ring can pass through the mount so that the ring can be mounted parallel to the surface of the tag. Alternatively, a ring with a tab can be passed through the mount wherein said tab can interlock within the recess under the mount, permitting the ring to be maintained in a supportive position relative to the tag.
1. A pet identification tag, attachable to a pet collar, comprising:
a front surface, and a reverse surface;
a mount transversely disposed on the reverse surface, said mount further comprising:
a first open end;
a second open end; and,
a continuous opening between the first open and the second open end;
a clasp ring rotatably engaged through the first open end and second open end of said mount; and,
a recessed area disposed under the mount on the reverse surface, said recessed area further comprising:
a first wall adjoined to the surface of the recessed area;
a second wall adjoined to the surface of the recessed area;
a third wall adjoined to the surface of the recessed area;
a fourth wall adjoined to the surface of the recessed area;
wherein the first wall, second wall, third wall, and fourth wall define the recessed area under the mount in that of a rectangular shape.
2. The pet identification tag of claim 1 wherein the clasp ring further comprises a tab mounted on the outer edge of the ring.
3. A method for displaying the pet identification tag of claim 2 comprising the steps of:
adjusting the angle of the clasp ring in relation to the tag until the tab on the mounting ring engages a corner formed between a wall and the surface of the recessed area wherein the tag is supported by the clasp ring; and,
placing the tag on a flat surface wherein the mounting ring supports the tag for display.
