Abstract
A tool for applying an identification tag body and a tag retainer to an ear of an animal. The tool includes a main handle member on which a tag body is mounted, a swinging bracket pivotally mounted on the main handle member, a second handle member pivotally connected to the swinging bracket, a first sliding link member pivotally connected to the second handle member, and a second sliding link member pivotally connected to the second handle member. The tag retainer is mounted on the swinging bracket. As the swinging bracket swings, the tag retainer can pass through the animal's ear and enter a boss of the tag body for locking therein. Support structure on each of the sliding link members can engage support pins mounted on the main handle member so that linkage of the tool can advance in two stages as the handles are advanced toward each other. The support structure of the sliding link members can come free of the associated support pins, one at a time. Both support pins can engage support structure of the sliding link members when the handles are in an intermediate or transistion position. The swinging bracket moves in ear puncturing direction with increasing mechanical advantage as the handles are urged toward each other in the first stage with a maximum advantage as the transition position is reached and the tag retainer penetrates the animal ear. Further advance during the second stage following passing of the transition position causes advance with mechanical advantage increasing from a lower value than that reached in the first stage.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
