Abstract

A transponder securing apparatus includes a transponder holder configured to receive a transponder and a mechanism operably coupled with the transponder holder and configured to be attached to an object. The mechanism may include a wrappable mechanism having ends being configured to be wrapped around an object and secured to at least one of the object and another end. The mechanism may include a clamping mechanism including at least two openings configured to engage edges of the object. The mechanism may include an elastic mechanism configured to be elongated to fit around the object and to contract to secure the transponder securing apparatus to the object. The mechanism may include a locking mechanism having a first portion configured to extend through the object and a second portion configured to mechanically engage the first portion to hold the first portion and the second portion in place.

Claims
