ABSTRACT:
An applicator for attachment of ear tags to animals. The device incorporates a slotted base to which is affixed, at 90.degree., an elongate guide. A first handle extends from that end of the base opposite the slotted portion thereof and a second handle is pivoted to move from an open to a closed position in a plane through the first handle normal to the plane of the base. A tag carrying spear is movable from a rest position adjacent the guide member and normal to the plane of the base through a path of travel including a first downstroke in a direction normal to the base. At the end of the downstroke the tag anchor portion is wholly through the ear of an animal, which ear is retained adjacent the base during a tagging operation. The spear may then pivot through an arc through the slotted base while being withdrawn from the tagged ear.
