  • Publication number: 20250245468
    Abstract: A card-shaped data carrier includes an electronic chip module having at least one chip and a contact structure; and a card body having an arrangement region for receiving the chip module. The chip module is arranged in the arrangement region of the card body. The card-shaped data carrier has at least a first wood layer and at least a second wood layer. The card-shaped data carrier can be bent out of a rest position into a bent position by the application of an external force; at least one restoring element for increasing the restoring force of the card-shaped data carrier is arranged between the first wood layer and the second wood layer. The restoring element is designed such that the card-shaped data carrier can be automatically returned from the bent position to the rest position when the external force is no longer applied.

  • Patent number: 12340265
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a chip card body having a metallic core layer for a contactless or dual-interface chip card. A slot in the metallic core layer for reducing eddy currents is generated not in the metallic multiple-copy sheet itself but instead only in the metallic core layer extracted from the metallic multiple-copy sheet. In this way, there are no short-circuit-forming metal chips left in the slot, since the slot is generated only after the extraction of the metallic core layer from the multiple-copy sheet.

  • Publication number: 20250094760
    Abstract: A data carrier in card form includes a card body, which has a first card surface, a second card surface, and a peripheral border. The peripheral border connects the first card surface to the second card surface. The peripheral border also has a first border portion with at least one cutout, with at least one cutout being at least partially filled with a color material, in order in this way to provide a color effect for the first border portion. A method is provided for producing a data carrier in card form.

  • Publication number: 20250045554
    Abstract: A card-shaped data carrier includes a card body with at least one arrangement region for receiving a chip module arranged in the arrangement region of the card body. The chip module has at least one chip, a contact structure and at least one antenna. The card body is formed from at least two layers, including a first layer configured as a metal layer with at least one slit extending from a circumferential surface of the metal layer into the region of the arrangement region for the chip module and through the entire thickness of the metal layer; a second layer formed as a back injection molded layer including a back injection molding material. The back injection molded layer is arranged on the metal layer so the slit of the metal layer is at least partially filled with the back injection molding material.

  • Publication number: 20240367213
    Abstract: A method for producing a card element. In a step, a first material layer having a predefined card body and at least one position marking is provided. In a step, a second material layer having at least one recess extending through the second material layer is provided. In a step, the second material layer is applied onto the first material layer in such a way that the position marking in the first material layer can be optically detected through the recess extending through the second material layer. In a step, a separating device is aligned on the basis of an optically detected location of the position marking. In a step, the predefined card body is separated from the first material layer by means of the separating device so as to produce the card element.

  • Publication number: 20240320460
    Abstract: A card-like data carrier includes an electronic chip module with at least one chip and a contact structure, and a card body with an arrangement region for receiving the chip module. The chip module is arranged in the arrangement region of the card body and is connected to the card body by means of at least one adhesive, wherein the adhesive is configured to be releasable thermolytically in a predetermined temperature range and/or chemically in order to separate the connection between the chip module and the card body. A method is provided for releasing an adhesive connection for a card-like data carrier.

  • Patent number: 12083815
    Abstract: The invention relates to a card, in particular a chip card, including a computing unit for managing electronic coin data records, the electronic coin data records being issued by a central entity, and a card body with visible data and at least one visible feature. The central entity is at the same time the issuer or administrator of a series of banknotes and the at least one visible feature identifies the card as part of the series of banknotes to an observer. In addition, a method for producing such a card is also proposed.
