Said female part (2) comprises said antenna coil (6) so that when the stud (3) fully cooperates with the cavity (4) of the female part (2) through positioning means (9,10), the ferrite rod (5) is placed in the center (8) of the antenna coil (6).
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a carrier for electronic identification devices, in particular transponders or RFID tags, made of two cooperating male and female parts. Applications of such carriers are for object (textile) marking, anti-theft devices and animal tags, in particular ear tags.
STATE OF THE ART Tags, in particular ear tags, are known per se in the art. For example, document WO 93/22907 discloses an ear tag for animals with a female component comprising a housing in which an electronic identification device is located and a centrally located opening. This female component cooperates with a male component comprising a stem which is meant to pass through the ear of the animal into the opening of the female component and thereby fasten the two components together. In a broad aspect of the invention disclosed, the carrier is being constructed such as to be engageable with a co-operating component whereby the carrier and the cooperating component can be joined together to facilitate attachment of the carrier to an object to be identified. As a specific embodiment, this prior art indicates that the antenna of the electronic identification device can be wound in the housing, when said housing is open sided and thus form a bobbin.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The idea of the invention is to integrate a ferrite rod in the stud, on its central axis, in such a way that the ferrite rod can be placed in the center of the antenna coil when the two parts (male and female) are mounted together to form the tag. It is the most appropriate place in such tags carriers as the stud also has an elongated rod form, and as emplacements for the antenna coil centralized on the stud are given (at least around the female cavity). The feature �in the center� is central for the invention and means here that the geometrical center of the ferrite rod must be positioned exactly on the geometrical center of the antenna coil.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIG. 1 shows the carrier according to the invention with the two parts (male and female) in a first relative position. More specifically, the carrier comprises a male part 1 and a female part 2, the male part 1 having a stud 3 intended to cooperate with an opening 4 in the female part 2.
The female part 2 carries an antenna coil 6 for the transponder. To form the finished carrier, the stud 3 of the male part 1 is introduced into the cavity 4 of the female part 2. This situation is represented in FIG. 2. In this position, the ferrite rod 5 is placed exactly in the center 8 of the antenna coil 6 which allows to attain the improved technical properties mentioned above in the present description. Once again, �in the center� means that the geometrical center of the ferrite rod must be positioned exactly on the geometrical center 8 of the antenna coil. In the figures, the antenna coil is a flat concentric disc shape antenna. When the stud 3 is properly positioned in the cavity 4, the axis of the ferrite rod (that is identical with the central axis 7 of the stud) coincide with the central perpendicular axis of the antenna, and the ferrite rod is positioned exactly symmetrically regarding the center 8 of the antenna.
