Abstract:

A pair of opposing jaws are provided and mounted for relative movement toward and away from each other. One of the jaws includes an elongated stud supported therefrom including a free end projecting toward the other jaw and the other jaw defines a pair of laterally spaced generally parallel tongues having one pair of spaced apart free ends and defining an open ended elongated slot therebetween opening endwise outwardly between the tongue free ends. The free end of the stud is of a transverse dimension to be snugly lengthwise received through the slot upon movement of the jaws toward each other and the stud free end includes an endwise outwardly opening recess formed therein for receiving the conical tip of the male stud part of an animal ear tag therebetween. Further, the surfaces of the tongues facing the one jaw are laterally inclined toward the slot and away from the one jaw.
