1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a device for the use of identification, and more particularly to a portable identification holder.
2. Description of the Related Art
In order to find a missing pet, chip injection is a popular way in present days to avoid pets from getting lost. These pets have to be taken to a specific place for scanning in order to find out who the owner is. People may not know where to scan the chips, nor can they be sure if the missing animals they found were injected with chips. The consequence may be that people who found the missing animals will leave them behind without doing anything. In addition, “Will the chip injection harm my pet?” is still a big concern for a lot of pets owners. Some people made an identification card by himself/herself to be hung on their pets. However, the handmade identification card is usually not strong enough that it may be damaged in a short time, such as pets scratching it with their claws.
Except for pet, people may lose personal goods too. Few goods can be identified that it is difficult to return lost goods. For a luggage, people fasten a plastic cover with a name card therein on the luggage for identification. Yet if rain or water wets the name card then people cannot read the information thereon.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary objective of the present invention is to provide a portable identification holder to be fastened to pets, goods or any other things for identification, which has information that is clear to read and not easy to be damaged.
According to the objective of the present invention, a portable identification holder includes a base, a substantially transparent cover, a sealing member and a fastener. The cover is connected to the base to form a room therein. The sealing member is between the base and the cover surrounding the room. The fastener is provided at the base to fasten the base to a specific object.
In an embodiment, the portable identification holder of present invention further includes a pressing member to be moved by user to disengage the cover from the base.
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
The pressing member 30 is received in the first recess 14 of the base 10, as shown in
The sealing member 40 is a rubber ring or a silicon rubber ring received in the slot 17 of the base 10. A diameter of the sealing member 40 is greater than a depth of the slot 17 and is greater than a distance between the pressing face 26 of the cover 20 and the bottom 17a of the slot 17 of the base 10 when the cover 20 is moved to the closed position P1 that the sealing member 40 has opposite sides 41 and 42 pressing the bottom 17a of the slot 17 and the pressing face 26 of the cover 20 to seal the room S. Therefore, the card 200 in the room S is well protected from water or other things.
The fasteners 50 are two belts passing through the through holes 12 of the base 10 to fasten the portable identification holder 100 of the present invention to a specific object 300, such as pet's belt and handle of luggage.
In the identification holder 100 of the present invention, the card 200 is replaceable, and the lens on the cover 20 may magnify the information on the card 200. The pressing member 30 is not protruded from the base 10 to prevent the pet from unexpectedly touching the pressing member 30 to open the cover 20. The sealing member 40 may prevent water, dirt or other things from going into the holder 100 and protect the card 200 therein.
In above preferred embodiments of the present invention, the holder 100 may be opened to replace the card 200.
The description above is a few preferred embodiments of the present invention and the equivalence of the present invention is still in the scope of claim construction of the present invention.
