Abstract
The present disclosure provides for an electronic monitoring device having an adjustable length cable to connect the monitoring device to an object. A band is adapted to engage at least a portion of the object and is operable for receiving a portion of the cable therein. The band may include a winding mechanism connectable thereto which is adapted to wind a desired length of cable into the band such that the band and cable can be matched to the size of the object being monitored.
Claims26
An electronic monitoring device, comprising:
- an adjustable length cable connected to an object;
- and
- a winding mechanism adapted to wind a desired length of cable into the mechanism.
An apparatus for monitoring an object, comprising:
- an electronic tag operable for transmitting an electronic or electro-optic signal;
- an adjustable length cable connecting the electronic tag to the object;
- and
- a winding mechanism operationally connected to the cable and adapted to wind the cable into the winding mechanism.
An apparatus for monitoring an object, comprising:
- an electronic tag operable for transmitting an electronic or electro-optic signal;
- a cap releasably connectable to the electronic tag;
- an adjustable length cable connectable to the cap;
- a stopper having a rim with at least one flexible arm extending radially inward and at least one protruding element extending radially outward, wherein the at least one protruding element is adapted to prevent the stopper from rotating within a housing;
- and
- a rotor operable for winding the cable into the housing, the rotor having a plurality of angled teeth extending radially outward and engagebale with the at least one arm of the stopper to permit rotation of the rotor in a first direction to wind the cable into the housing and prevent the rotor from rotating in an opposite direction to unwind the cable.
A method for attaching an electronic monitoring device to an object, comprising the steps of:
- placing a band having a cable winding mechanism around the object;
- inserting a key into the cable winding mechanism;
- and
- rotating the key in one direction to adjust a cable length.
A method for removing an electronic tag from a cap connected to an attaching apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- pushing the electronic tag through an aperture formed in an extraction tool until the extractor tool locks into position;
- disconnecting locking tabs extending from the cap to the electronic tag;
- and
- pulling the electronic tag away from the cap.
