Campo de aplicaciónScope
El campo de aplicación de la presente invención es el de la industria relacionada con la investigación científica de carácter ornitológico, biológico (distribución y etologia) , así como los posteriores trabajos de gestión y conservación de las especies de fauna silvestre y sus habitats .The field of application of the present invention is that of the industry related to scientific research of an ornithological, biological nature (distribution and ethology), as well as the subsequent work of management and conservation of wildlife species and their habitats.
Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention
Hasta la actualidad, la identificación principalmente de aves, se venía realizando mediante el tradicional sistema de anillamiento. Así, el anillamiento clásico es un método de estudio de las poblaciones de aves basado en su individualización mediante la colocación de una anilla metálica o plástica que lleva una inscripción. Esta inscripción consta de una dirección o remite (adonde enviar los datos del hallazgo de un ave anillada) , y un número que, como si se tratase de una matrícula de automóvil, identifica de manera inequívoca ese individuo. Mediante este método de estudio, se intenta obtener información sobre los movimientos, tasas de mortalidad, supervivencia,Until now, the identification mainly of birds has been carried out through the traditional banding system. Thus, classical banding is a method of studying bird populations based on their individualization by placing a metal or plastic ring that bears an inscription. This registration consists of an address or return address (where to send the data of the finding of a ringed bird), and a number that, as if it were a car registration, identifies that individual unequivocally. Through this study method, we try to obtain information about movements, mortality rates, survival,
HOJA DE REEMPLAZO (Regla26) etc. de las aves o animales anillados y, por extensión, de las poblaciones silvestres a que pertenecen.REPLACEMENT SHEET (Rule 26) etc. of the birds or animals ringed and, by extension, of the wild populations to which they belong.
Este sistema clásico de anillamiento limita la obtención de información al caso de la recaptura o muerte de un ejemplar.This classic banding system limits the collection of information in the case of recapture or death of a specimen.
En otros casos se venia utilizando un dispositivo consistente en una banda simétrica, preferentemente de tejido plástico e impermeable, y un sistema de apertura/cierre ubicado cerca de la mitad de la banda descrita, que únicamente utiliza tinta para los signos alfanuméricos de identificación del animal, y no troquelado. Sin embargo, éste último sistema descrito planteaba importantes problemas en orden a que los códigos de identificación alfanuméricos, que aparecen en la banda de tejido plástico, se deterioraban debido principalmente a la acción natural de los agentes climatológicos y/o meteorológicos, asi como por las sustancias abrasivas de medios salinos donde puede tener su habitat el animal, o también como consecuencia del propio movimiento del animal, al utilizar cualquiera de sus extremidades generalmente afiladas .In other cases, a device consisting of a symmetrical band, preferably of plastic and waterproof fabric, and an opening / closing system located near the middle of the described band was used, which only uses ink for the alphanumeric signs of animal identification , and not die cut. However, the latter system described posed significant problems in order that the alphanumeric identification codes, which appear in the plastic fabric band, deteriorated mainly due to the natural action of the weather and / or meteorological agents, as well as the abrasive substances of saline media where the animal can have its habitat, or also as a consequence of the animal's own movement, when using any of its generally sharp limbs.
Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention
Con la finalidad de resolver los inconvenientes, que plantea la utilización de anillas en la identificación de aves, u otros métodos en otras especies animales, especialmente porque su uso supone la recaptura del animal para la realización de estudios poblacionales, epidemiológicos, migratorios, etc, y por ende, el sometimiento del ave, u otro animal a situaciones de elevado estrés. Asi como con la finalidad de resolver los inconvenientes que plantean los dispositivos tradicionalesWith the purpose of solving the inconveniences, which raises the use of rings in the identification of birds, or other methods in other animal species, especially because their use involves the recapture of the animal for population, epidemiological, migratory studies, etc, and therefore, the submission of the bird, or other animal to situations of high stress. As well as with the purpose of solving the inconveniences posed by traditional devices
HOJA DE REEMPLAZO (Regla26) de identificación de aves u otras especies, en orden a incorporar los digitos alfanuméricos de identificación del animal, con tinta de impresión serigrafiada, la cual, debido a la acción natural de los agentes climatológicos y/o meteorológicos, asi como por las sustancias abrasivas de medios salinos donde puede tener su habitat el animal, o también como consecuencia del propio movimiento del animal, al utilizar cualquiera de sus extremidades generalmente afiladas, esta tintura se va deteriorando progresivamente, hasta el punto que tras el paso de un tiempo determinado se encuentra totalmente borrada, impidiendo de este modo al dispositivo cumplir su finalidad de identificación. Por todo ello ha sido desarrollado el dispositivo perfeccionado de identificación de fauna silvestre, objeto de la presente invención, adaptable a cualquier especie animal, el cual, tal y como se verá claramente al describirlo haciendo referencia a las figuras que lo ilustran, ofrece destacadas ventajas técnicas, tales como que no se hace necesaria recaptura del ave o animal para su identificación, bastando simplemente con la mera observación visual del espécimen, o la visualización mediante la utilización de elementos ópticos de aumento como binoculares y telescopios terrestres para identificar el ave o animal. De este modo, con la utilización del dispositivo descrito se intenta paliar la dificultad que supone no sólo el identificar a las aves en vuelo, sino especialmente en los largos periodos de descanso, momento en el cual los tarsos, y por tanto las anillas quedan ocultas entre las plumas pectorales o cuando el animal o ave se sitúa de espaldas al ornitólogo o biólogo. El troquelado de los digitos alfanuméricos en la banda plástica principal, junto con la incorporación de una banda de contraste en el reverso de laREPLACEMENT SHEET (Rule 26) of identification of birds or other species, in order to incorporate the alphanumeric digits of identification of the animal, with silkscreen printing ink, which, due to the natural action of the weather and / or meteorological agents, as well as by the abrasive substances of saline means where the animal can have its habitat, or also as a consequence of the animal's own movement, when using any of its generally sharp limbs, this tincture is progressively deteriorating, to the point that after the passage of a certain time it is completely deleted, thus preventing the device from fulfilling its identification purpose. Therefore, the improved wildlife identification device, object of the present invention, adaptable to any animal species has been developed, which, as will be clearly seen when describing it, referring to the figures that illustrate it, offers outstanding advantages techniques, such as that it is not necessary to recapture the bird or animal for identification, simply by simply observing the specimen, or visualizing it using optical magnification elements such as binoculars and ground telescopes to identify the bird or animal . Thus, with the use of the described device, the difficulty of not only identifying birds in flight, but especially in the long periods of rest, at which time the tarsus, and therefore the rings are hidden, is attempted between the pectoral feathers or when the animal or bird is facing away from the ornithologist or biologist. The punching of the alphanumeric digits in the main plastic band, together with the incorporation of a contrast band on the back of the
HOJA DE REEMPLAZO (Regla26) principal, pegada y termosellada, dotan de mayor durabilidad al dispositivo.REPLACEMENT SHEET (Rule 26) Main, glued and heat sealed, provide greater durability to the device.
Asi mismo, otra de las ventajas técnicas que ofrece el dispositivo perfeccionado de identificación de fauna silvestre adaptable a cualquier especie animal, objeto de la presente invención es la de tratarse de un dispositivo de manejo muy sencillo, pues su sistema de apertura y cierre, es extremadamente simple, y además el dispositivo ni hiere, ni perjudica al animal en ningún caso. Asi, el dispositivo va fijado mediante crotales, o remaches plásticos esterilizados usados en ganadería a la membrana "patagial" del ave, en el supuesto de las aves. Esta es una membrana que tanto las aves como los murciélagos poseen en sus alas y que, gracias a las escasas terminaciones nerviosas de la misma, no ocasionan prácticamente dolor al animal en el momento de la perforación.Likewise, another of the technical advantages offered by the perfected device for identification of wildlife adaptable to any animal species, object of the present invention is that it is a very simple handling device, since its opening and closing system is extremely simple, and also the device neither hurts nor harms the animal in any case. Thus, the device is fixed by crotales, or sterilized plastic rivets used in livestock to the "patagial" membrane of the bird, in the case of birds. This is a membrane that both birds and bats have on their wings and, thanks to the few nerve endings of the same, practically do not cause pain to the animal at the time of drilling.
Igualmente, conviene señalar como ventaja técnica importante el peso reducido del dispositivo, pues el mismo esta realizado en materiales muy ligeros, para prevenir cualquier interferencia en las funciones vitales del ave o animal, no sólo en el vuelo, o en medio acuático, sino en la reproducción, etc.Likewise, it should be noted as an important technical advantage the reduced weight of the device, since it is made of very light materials, to prevent any interference in the vital functions of the bird or animal, not only in the flight, or in the aquatic environment, but also in reproduction, etc.
Es entonces un objeto de la presente invención, proveer un dispositivo perfeccionado de identificación de fauna silvestre adaptable a cualquier espécimen animal, el cual, esta integrado por una pluralidad de elementos o partes, tales como una banda simétrica preferentemente de tejido plástico e impermeable (1), (con cromática formada por colores vivos) donde se encuentran troquelados (2) los dígitos alfanuméricos, que sirven para la identificación del animal, que la incorpore; asi mismo, incorpora una banda de contraste (3), preferentemente de PVC, (con cromática de colores oscuros) , adherida mediante pegado yIt is then an object of the present invention, to provide an improved wildlife identification device adaptable to any animal specimen, which is composed of a plurality of elements or parts, such as a symmetrical band preferably made of plastic and impermeable fabric (1 ), (with chromatic formed by bright colors) where the alphanumeric digits (2) are found, which serve to identify the animal, which incorporates it; likewise, it incorporates a contrast band (3), preferably of PVC, (with dark color chromatic), adhered by gluing and

HOJA DE REEMPLAZO (Regla26) termosellado al dorso o parte posterior de la descrita banda simétrica plástica e impermeable (1) ; igualmente, el dispositivo descrito incorpora un sistema de apertura/cierre (4), ubicado cerca de la mitad de la banda simétrica una vez plegada ésta; este sistema de apertura/cierre esta formado por dos piezas una de ellas con un saliente metálico (5) , (macho) , y la otra que se engarza en el saliente de la otra pieza (6), (hembra). En la zona central de la banda, concretamente, en sus laterales incorpora una serie de cortes o incisiones (7), cuya finalidad no es otra que adaptarse esta zona descrita plástica al cuerpo del animal, evitando que sufra cuando realiza movimientos.REPLACEMENT SHEET (Rule 26) heat sealing on the back or back of the described plastic and waterproof symmetric band (1); likewise, the described device incorporates an opening / closing system (4), located near the middle of the symmetrical band once it is folded; This opening / closing system is formed by two pieces, one of them with a metal projection (5), (male), and the other that is attached to the projection of the other part (6), (female). In the central area of the band, specifically, on its sides it incorporates a series of cuts or incisions (7), whose purpose is none other than to adapt this described plastic area to the animal's body, preventing it from suffering when it makes movements.
La unión entre la banda (1) y el sistema de apertura/cierre (4), se lleva a cabo mediante la existencia de dos orificios (8), situados en la zona central de la banda, por donde la pieza macho (5), del sistema de apertura/cierre pasa uniéndose a la pieza hembra (6) mediante otro orificio simétrico existente en la banda (1) . El dispositivo de apertura/cierre (4), se encuentra conformado preferentemente por unas piezas de material plástico, ya sean estas remaches o crotales, o cualquier otro medio o sistema, que permita unir y cerrar el dispositivo con seguridad y reversibilidad para evitar la pérdida del mismo en función de la durabilidad deseada y del tamaño del ave o animal a marcar; asi, estas piezas que configuran el sistema de apertura/cierre (4), podrían, en el caso de pequeñas aves o anfibios, sustituirse por puntos de sutura putrescibles, los cuales se ubicarían igualmente cerca de la mitad de la banda una vez plegada ésta.The union between the band (1) and the opening / closing system (4), is carried out through the existence of two holes (8), located in the central area of the band, where the male part (5) , the opening / closing system passes by joining the female part (6) through another symmetrical hole in the band (1). The opening / closing device (4), is preferably formed by pieces of plastic material, whether these rivets or crotales, or any other means or system, which allows the device to be joined and closed safely and reversibly to prevent loss thereof depending on the desired durability and the size of the bird or animal to be marked; Thus, these pieces that make up the opening / closing system (4), could, in the case of small birds or amphibians, be replaced by putrescible sutures, which would also be located near the middle of the band once folded. .
