  • Patent number: 5973598
    Abstract: An enhanced identification tag produces an identification (ID) signal, i.e., a radio frequency (RF) signal carrying identification information, capable of being interpreted by an electronic reader device. An identification tag in accordance with the invention is characterized by a flexible substrate, programmable encoder circuitry formed on said substrate defining identification information, an antenna, and signal generator circuitry carried by said substrate responsive to said encoder circuitry for applying a radio frequency signal bearing said identification information to said antenna. A preferred tag is fabricated using a printing process to mark a conductive pattern, e.g., comprised of a conductive ink based on silver, carbon, etc., on a flexible substrate, e.g., polytethyline, polyvinyl chloride or other plastic type material.

  • Patent number: 5973600
    Abstract: An RFID wristband incorporates identification circuitry which may be of a read only, a read/write, a passive, or an active configuration. The wristband consists of a plurality of laminae which bear components of the RFID circuitry and which encapsulate said circuitry upon the securement or adherence of said laminae to each or one another. The wristband is incorporated in an identification system particularly adapted for hospital patient identification and is associated with an RFID reader which generates a magnetic signal requesting identification from the wristband. The wristband is automatically assembled by the utilization of at least two laminae of a polymorphic flexible nature to encapsulate the RFID circuit and includes the utilization of polymeric in conductive components in said circuit.

  • Patent number: 5799426
    Abstract: An identification bracelet includes an integral adhesive closure which permits the bracelet to be formed in a virtually uniform thickness. The bracelet is formed of laminates that are relatively permanently bonded to each other over a majority of the body of the bracelet, with a movable cover portion formed as part of one or more of the laminates. The cover portion is adapted to be moved from a covering relationship to a non-covering relationship with respect to an adhesive disposed between two or more of the laminates. The cover may be removable from the bracelet, and may be configured with gripping portions to permit ready manipulation of the cover from the aforesaid covering relationship to the non-covering relationship.

  • Patent number: 5740623
    Abstract: An identification wristband is fabricated from transparent synthetic plastic and has a flattened central area wherein the inner surfaces of the central area are relatively close to each other and opposite edges communicating with the central area, which are substantially semi-circular in cross section, provide a receptacle for an information card or tag inserted in the band and the flattened area of the band facilitates the viewing of the information on the card. A connector is provided which is of substantially elliptical configuration in cross section and includes an abutment intermediate its extremities. The opposite extremities of the connector are receivable in the opposite extremities of the band body and, when inserted in the band body, distend the extremities to correspond to the elliptical configuration of the connector, thus causing a frictional grip to be exerted upon the extremities of the band body.
