FIG. 8 is a plan view of a preferred embodiment of an implant dart applicator or insertion system 90 embodying the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a partially sectioned side view illustrating further details of the applicator system in use. System 90 broadly comprises a main body 91, which includes a chamber (not shown) adapted to receive a dart 10. At one end of body 91, a platen 92 is positioned and retained by means of a hinge member 98 so as to be pivotal relative to main body 91. (As used herein, the term platen refers to the engagement means for receiving and retaining a part of an animal's body, in accordance with the present invention). Main body 91, opposite platen 92, also includes a propulsion mechanism (not shown) is actualable to provide a propulsive force to the dart 10 inside main body 91, through a push bar 59, which accelerates the dart towards platen 92. The propulsion mechanism may be any type of conventional mechanism, but is preferably a spring operated device which may be loaded and then released, as by a trigger. As best seen in FIGS. 8-10, main body 91 includes a top part 93, which has a bore 97 in which dart 10 is accelerated towards platen 92. By means of hinge member 98, platen 92 may be conveniently pivoted relative to main body 91 so as to receive the ear (E) of the subject, into which the dart 10 is inserted. Ear (E) is then maintained flat against the top of platen 92 by means of arms 99, which engage it, and the ear is formed into a 90° bend in front of the exit (within the projected perimeter) of bore 97. In this position, the ear is held captive between platen 92 and leg 95.
The use of the dart 10 will now be explained. While description is made relative to inserting the dart into the ear of a pig, the dart can be used on other body parts or on other types of subjects, including cattle, sheep, goats or other livestock, or domestic or wild animals. In FIGS. 9 and 10 the flat platen 92 lies opposite the top part 93 with a downwardly extending leg 95. The pig's ear (E) has been captured between the platen 92 and leg 95 and is retained in a flat position on top of the platen and formed into a 90° bend.
