Patent number: 11542079Abstract: A packaging card for a tool comprising a fixed member and a movable member that is selectively movable relative to the fixed member includes a tool engaging region coupling the packaging card to the movable member such that movement of the movable member relative to the fixed member moves the card relative to the fixed member. The card also includes a deformation region that tears or deforms upon application of a separation force sufficient to remove the packaging card from the tool. Another packaging card for a tool having a housing with front and side apertures includes a front flange receivable in the front aperture of the tool, a side flange insertable into the side aperture, and a hook catchable on an interior of the housing to deter removal of the packaging card from the tool until sufficient force is applied to overcome a holding power of the hook.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Bates, Jonathan Miller

Publication number: 20220287270Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag insertion cartridge configured for use in implanting a flexible RFID tag into a small animal using a needle-retraction implant tool. In embodiments, the cartridge includes a cartridge housing and a bevel cap. In embodiments, the cartridge housing is configured to receive a carriage portion inserted into a first end of the cartridge housing with a retractable needle extended out of a second end of the carriage portion to present the retractable needle in an extended position with the RFID tag carried within the retractable needle. In embodiments, the bevel cap has a proximal portion with a mating feature configured to mate with the cartridge housing and one or more needle capture elements configured to selectively couple to the needle in the extended position in a side-mountable manner without a direct axial force being exerted on the needle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: Somark Group Pty LtdInventors: Adrian Knight, Paul Donohoe, Joe Nebolan, Steve Elliott, Alexander Bates
