Electronic button tag for tagging and identifying cattle
First Claim
1. An electronic button tag for tagging and identifying cattle comprising a transponder, programmable or not, enclosed in a shell, said shell comprising an open-ended or blind axial transverse passage for a fixing means to the ear of the animal, characterised in that:
- the shell is made from two half-shells namely a lower half-shell and an upper half-shell, which are assembled together at a median plane which is disposed transversely to the axial passage opening for the fixing means, the transponder is fixed in place without compression between the two half-shells using a glue, the two half-shells are assembled by means of a laser weld.

Abstract
The invention relates to an electronic button tag for tagging and identifying cattle and other animals, of the type which is intended to be placed on one of the ears of the animal. The inventive button tag includes a transponder which is enclosed in a shell. The shell is made from two half-shells, namely a lower half-shell and an upper half-shell, which are assembled together at a median plane. The transponder is fixed in place, without compression, between the two half-shells using a glue; and the two half-shells are assembled by a laser weld.

- 13. An electronic button tag for tagging and identifying cattle including a transponder, programmable or not, enclosed in a shell, the shell being composed of a first shell portion and a second shell portion which are assembled together at a median plane, the transponder is fixed in place without compression between the two shell portions using an adhesive and the two shell portions are assembled by means of a laser weld, and the two shell portions are provided with complementary internal and external walls, contributing to their assembly, to stiffen the shell and to fix the internal transponder in place, the second shell portion including a sleeve with a central opening around a median axis, said sleeve projects outwards from one side of a planar wall and is extended by a cylindrical wall extending from an opposite side of said planar wall to connect with a cylindrical wall of the first shell portion, a planar wall of the first shell portion being connected at its periphery to the second shell portion.
