Abstract
A identification tag covering device for deterring catching of a covered identification tag includes a pair of rings that is selectively mutually couplable. A hinge is coupled to and extends between the rings. The rings are selectively positionable in an open configuration so that the rings are configured to insert an identification tag. The rings also are selectively positionable in a closed configuration wherein the rings are coupled to the identification tag. Indicia that are positioned on the identification tag are visible. Each of a pair of extrusions is coupled to and extends from a respective ring proximate to the hinge. The extrusions are configured to deter insertion of the rings into a narrow space, such as a gap between boards of a deck. At least one cutout, which is positioned through the pair of rings, is configured to position a coupler that is coupled to the identification tag.
