VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION KEYCHAIN TAG APPARATUS

A vehicle identification keychain tag apparatus for tagging keys with full vehicle details includes a tag body having a tag front side, a tag back side, a tag top edge, a tag bottom edge, a tag left edge, and a tag right edge. The tag body has at least one keychain aperture extending from the tag front side through the tag back side to selectively engage a keychain. A plurality of information fields is coupled to the tag front side and defines areas to receive written vehicle information. A protector is coupled to the tag body. The protector is foldably coupled to the tag right edge and has an adhesive protector inner face. The protector inner face is adhered to the tag front side once the plurality of information fields has been filled. A backing is coupled to the protector and is selectively engageable with the protector inner face.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The disclosure relates to vehicle identification tag devices and more particularly pertains to a new vehicle identification tag device for tagging keys with full vehicle details. The present device includes a tag with a vertical vehicle identification number (VIN) field. There is an attached adhesive clear plastic protector to fold over the information fields once filled to prevent smudging.

The prior art relates to vehicle identification tag devices. Known devices include information fields that are often not large enough to accommodate the VIN. These devices lack a plastic adhesive protector to cover written information.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a tag body having a tag front side, a tag back side, a tag top edge, a tag bottom edge, a tag left edge, and a tag right edge. The tag body has at least one keychain aperture extending from the tag front side through the tag back side. The keychain aperture is configured to selectively engage a keychain. A plurality of information fields is coupled to the tag body. The plurality of information fields is coupled to the tag front side and defines areas to receive written vehicle information. A protector is coupled to the tag body. The protector is foldably coupled to the tag right edge and has an adhesive protector inner face. The protector inner face is adhered to the tag front side once the plurality of information fields has been filled. A backing is coupled to the protector. The backing is selectively engageable with the protector inner face.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular toFIGS. 1 through 6thereof, a new vehicle identification tag device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral10will be described.

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 6, the vehicle identification keychain tag apparatus10generally comprises a tag body12having a tag front side14, a tag back side16, a tag top edge18, a tag bottom edge20, a tag left edge22, and a tag right edge24. The tag body12has at least one keychain aperture26extending from the tag front side14through the tag back side16. The keychain aperture26may be a pair of keychain apertures26proximal the tag top edge18and the tag bottom edge20. Each keychain aperture26is configured to selectively engage a keychain28.

A plurality of information fields30is coupled to the tag body12. The plurality of information fields30is coupled to the tag front side14and defines areas to receive written vehicle information. The plurality of information fields30may include a vehicle identification number (VIN) field32. The VIN field32may be oriented vertically adjacent the tag right edge24. The plurality of information fields30may also include a new box34, a used box36, a sticker number box38, and a plurality of descriptor fields40for the year, make, model, color, and series.

A transparent protector42is coupled to the tag body12. The protector42is foldably coupled to the tag right edge24and has an adhesive protector inner face44. The protector inner face44is adhered to the tag front side14once the plurality of information fields30has been filled. Each of the tag body12and the protector42may have rounded corners and the same dimensions. The protector42has a pair of protector apertures46extending from the protector inner face44through a protector outer face48. The pair of protector apertures46aligning with the pair of keychain apertures26when the protector inner face44is adhered to the tag front side14.

A backing50coupled to the protector42. The backing50is selectively engageable with the protector inner face44to prevent inadvertent adhesion before use. The backing50may have a pair of squared outer backing corners52extending past the protector42to easily be peeled off when desired.

In use, the vehicle identification keychain tag apparatus10allows for a method of use60comprising a step62comprising having a keychain. A step64comprises vehicle identification keychain tag apparatus10. A step66comprises filling in the plurality of information fields30. A step68comprises removing the backing50from the protector42. A step70comprises adhering the protector inner face46to the tag front side14. A step72comprises engaging the keychain aperture26of the tag body with the keychain28.
