SAR “I.D. Tag” enforcing the “K.I.S.S.” princible

[admin]

“Keep It Simple Stupid” came to mind when I conceived this very simple SAR Eclipse Day/Night signal device.

It starts with
two sterile Government issue I.D. (Dog tags).
A 3/16″ sight hole drilled through both.
All tags heat colored bronzish.
Mirror tag inside buffed to a high polish.
3/4′ circle of “SOLAS” high reflective tape applied to front cover tag.
A 1/16″ right angle bend on the lip to provides just enough tension to keep it closed and so the mirror does not touch the cover tag which would scratch the surface.
Hand stamp my logo.
Black coated brass rivet pressed to secure and provide pivot.

It ends up a
small footprint
very durable these are Government spec I.D. Tags which are a high grade stainless steel which is corrosion resistant to salt water as is the brass rivet.
lightweight 7 grams
low part count=Less to go wrong or fail
Great zipper pull for gear bags/Jackets also keychains
Provides more than ample reflective power in both Day and Night situations.

They will come on a 2′ standard Mil Spec 550 OD green loop, enough material to fashion some form of attachment to your equipment.

I will look at volume pricing for dealers, organizations and could customize your Tags….ie engraving of your

Company logo
Personal Name
Address
Allergies

I will also look into doing a single tag with SOLAS tape on both sides for pets?

The Triangle Eclipse’s are 6L4V mirror polish ti with G-10 or Cf same concept

Thanks
