An identification device wherein a flexible elongated strap is adapted for disposition into encircling relation about an extremity of an animal, such as, the legs or neck, comprising at least opposite ends of the strap composed of a heat-fusible, inelastic material. Opposite ends of the strap are temporarily secured as a preliminary to permanent fastening, and temporary securing means in the form of complementary fastening members at opposite ends of the strap operate to secure opposite ends in overlapping relation to one another. A partially embedded heating element in one end of the strap projects in contacting relation with the other end and has a melting point above that of the material of the opposite ends so that when current is applied thereto sufficient to melt the strap, it will simultaneously fuse opposite ends of the strap together.

An identification device comprising in combination: an elongated flexible strap, opposite ends of which are composed of a heat-fusible material; identification circuit housing means releasably secured to strap, said housing means including a hollow casing in the form of a generally rectangular pod and support means in the form of wire loop members on either side of said casing for securing said casing to said strap in superimposed relation; temporary securing means defined by complementary fastening members at said opposite ends of said strap operative to temporarily secure said opposite ends in overlapping relation to one another whereby to establish the effective circumference of said strap as a preliminary to permanent fastening of said opposite ends together; and fusing means disposed on one of said opposite ends between confronting surfaces of said opposite ends when said opposite ends are arranged in overlapping relation to one another, said fusing means comprising an electrical conductive element extending across the substantial width of said one end having a melting point above the fusion point of said material of which said opposite ends are composed, said fusing means responsive to the generation of heat above the melting point of said heat-fusible material to fuse said opposite ends into permanently bonded relation to one another.
