Abstract

an animal tag comprising: a one-piece animal tag retaining member made of molded material, having: a first part comprising a female opening connectable to a male member for coupling the animal tag to a body part of an animal; a second part configured to accommodate one or more electronical components capable of obtaining information relating to the animal to which the animal tag is coupled; an intermediate part, located between the first tag part and the second tag part, having a form of a latitudinal recess for enhancing a flexibility of the animal tag.

Claims (13)

1. An animal tag comprising:

a one-piece animal tag retaining member made of molded material, having:

a first part comprising a female opening connectable to a male member for coupling the animal tag to a body part of an animal, wherein the female opening having a first axis running through a center of the female opening;

a second part configured to accommodate one or more electronical components capable of obtaining information relating to the animal to which the animal tag is coupled;

an intermediate part, located between the first part and the second part, having a form of a latitudinal recess, wherein the latitudinal recess having a second axis extends along a width of the intermediate part, wherein (a) the intermediate part is an integrally molded portion of the one-piece animal tag retaining member, having substantially thinner width with respect to the first part and with respect to the second part, and having different levels of thinness, and (b) the first axis along which the female opening connects to the male member is perpendicular to the second axis along which the latitudinal recess extends, thereby enhancing a flexibility of the animal tag.

2. The animal tag of claim 1 , further comprising a Light Emitting Diode (LED) capable of providing light indications visible to a user when the animal tag is attached to the animal.

3. The animal tag of claim 1 , wherein the electronical components include a Near-Field Communication (NFC) tag uniquely identifying the animal tag.

4. The animal tag of claim 1 , wherein the molded material is made of at least one of: polymeric material or polyurethane.

5. The animal tag of claim 1 , wherein the electronical components include one or more of: a three-dimensional accelerometer, a temperature sensor or a light sensor.

6. The animal tag of claim 1 , wherein the second part is molded to accommodate the electronical components, thereby sealing the molded material including the electronical components.

7. The animal tag of claim 6 , wherein the electronical components are accommodated within a casing and wherein the second part of the molded material is molded to accommodate the casing thereby sealing the molded material including the casing.

8. The animal tag of claim 1 , wherein the second part of the molded material has an opening for inserting the electronical components, and wherein after insertion of the electronical components the second part is sealed using a cover welded to the second part by welding.

9. The animal tag of claim 8 , wherein the electronical components are accommodated within a casing.
