In one embodiment, a kit for reusably attaching an identification transponder 22 to an object 16 to be identified is disclosed. The kit includes an outer sleeve 10, an inner package 12 and, optionally, a release tool 14. The outer sleeve 10 is preferably formed of a non-electrically conducting material and includes an outer locking mechanism 18 disposed therein. The inner package 12 will store the identification transponder 22 and includes an inner locking mechanism 20 for cooperating for with the locking mechanism 18 within the outer sleeve 10. The inner package 12 is operable to be secured within the outer sleeve 10 when the inner locking mechanism 20 and the outer locking mechanism 18 are engaged. If included, the release tool 14 can be used for removing the inner package 12 from the outer sleeve 10 by disengaging the inner locking mechanism 20 from the outer locking mechanism 18.
A reusable package for an identification transponder, said package comprising:
An identification transponder package including an identification transponder within the package, said transponder package for being mechanically locked within a non-conductive sleeve, said transponder package including an outer surface which has notches formed therein for cooperating with protrusions in said sleeve, said transponder package capable of being mechanically locked into said sleeve without use of an adhesive and being removable from said sleeve with the use of a tool, said transponder package formed of a material which will not impede electromagnetic communications to and from said transponder.
An identification transponder package including an identification transponder with the package, the transponder package for being mechanically locked within a non-conductive sleeve, said transponder package including an outer surface which has a thread formed therein for cooperating with a corresponding thread within said sleeve, said transponder package capable of being screwed into said sleeve without use of an adhesive and being removable from said sleeve, said transponder package formed of a material which will not impede electromagnetic communications to and from said transponder.
