ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates in general to the combination of a product and an identification tag device containing an identification tag that can readily be applied to the product, and more specifically to a multi-functional identification tag device.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention is a combination of a product, such as a pet collar, and an identification tag device attached thereto at point of sale. In the preferred embodiment, the collar includes a buckle having a recessed surface adapted for attachment of an identification tag and clear overlay.
Three exemplary embodiments of the identification tag device are shown: a display hanger; a wrapper; and an attached tag. Each identification tag device includes an identification tag and clear overlay for attachment to the collar. Each tag device is preferably a sheet comprised of layers of sheet material including a backing sheet with a smooth surface adapted to be adhesively removable from an adhesive layer, an identification tag and an overlay. The identification tag is fabricated of sheet material having a notational, or front, side and a back side. The front side includes free surface area that will readily accept identification data, such as by writing or typing. The back side has an adhesive layer thereon adhered to the smooth surface of the backing sheet. The identification tag is peeled from the smooth surface of backing along score lines and attached to the recessed surface of the buckle.
The overlay is fabricated of transparent sheet material having a back side having a transparent adhesive layer thereon adhered to the smooth surface of the backing sheet and placed over the identification tag after the identification data have been added to the identification tag.
The attached tag is attached, such as by a tether, to the collar. The display hanger is adapted both for hanging from a sales display and for attaching the collar. The wrapper is wrapped around the collar to configure the collar.
