  • Tag anchor and method of use
    Patent number: 11694581
    Abstract: A tag anchor comprises an elastic loop having opposed outer and inner surfaces and an elastic anchor that extends radially from the elastic loop. The anchor includes a shank that extends from one of the outer and inner surfaces and a pair of opposed arms that extend laterally from the shank toward the elastic loop and which are sized to not contact one of the surfaces when deflected toward the shank. The anchor further includes a crown that extends radially from the shank.

  • Banding machine
    Patent number: 11305900
    Abstract: A banding machine includes a tube guide adapted to transfer an elastomeric tube from an entry end to an exit end. A frame assembly receives the elastomeric tube from the exit end. A drive assembly is carried by the frame assembly and includes a drive shaft which rotates a drive wheel that advances the elastomeric tube through the frame assembly. A knife guide assembly receives a reciprocating knife to cut the elastomeric tube to form a band. A stretcher assembly with stretcher fingers maintained substantially adjacent one another in a first position receives the band, the stretcher fingers then expand the band to a second position to receive an object upon which the band closes around.
