Abstract
An animal tag applicator comprising: first and second jaws for engaging an animal tag therebetween wherein the second jaw is movable relative to the first jaw for mounting said animal tag on the animal; a movable lever coupled to the second jaw, the lever being arranged such that at least a first movement of the lever results in a resilient bias being applied to the second jaw for rectilinear movement of the second jaw towards the first jaw; a stop member positioned relative to the second jaw member for maintaining the second jaw member in an intermediate spaced apart position relative to the first jaw to prevent biased movement of the second jaw towards the first jaw when the lever is in the actuated position; a trigger member coupled with the stop member such that movement of the trigger member into a triggered position effects biased rectilinear movement of the second jaw towards the first jaw when the lever is in the actuated position.
