INSTRUCTIONS OF THE INVENTION: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to improvements in identification tools such as identification tags, and to a component including a wristband or bracelet or the like for making an identification tag convenient and comfortable. The relationship between the installation of a selected wearer or a target, the design of the object, and the improvement of the identification and relationship, which is designed to be used in a small A wearer or target, such as a child or toddler, provides a larger information bearing surface area of sufficient size to accommodate a range of important identification data in a readable and/or machine readable form, and wherein the information bearing area It is relatively flat to promote and improve the reading of the data that the machine can take. [Prior Art] Identification tapes such as wristbands or bracelets or other closed loop elements are well known in the art, wherein the identification tape carries or carries a person associated with or wearing the belt. Some form of information or information about it. Therefore, the information carried by the identification tape is wrapped around an approved wearer with a flexible flexible tape or the like in a typical configuration (for example, as a wristband). On the wrist of the person, and at the opposite ends, include a mating or intermeshing securing member for proper interconnection to leave the identification band on the wearer's wrist. The identification information is such as to print the information directly on the surface of the outer tape or to adhere to the label of the tape, or to print such information - suitable for sliding fit in the I pocket of the belt structure The card or the like is applied to the belt. These identification bands have been widely used or proposed for use in, for example, medical institutions or similar locations 96383.doc 1297127 for patient identification, for use in 彳$π# tu 1 surgery, such as military installations or corporate settings.

In recent years, improved identification systems have been devised that include identification tapes and tags that replace human readable materials that are typically limited to printed or handwritten letters and numeric symbol characters into or more in a machine readable form. Related information. In one version, such machine readable information may include being carried by a flexible tape in a linear bar code format or the like by printing or otherwise, and arranged for scanning by a conventional bar code reader or the like. data. For example, see U.S. Patent Nos. 5,448,846; 5,799,426; and 5,615,504. See also U.S. Patent Nos. 6, , 16, 618 and 6, 51 〇, 634. In another version, 'the machine readable information can include a device mounted on the flexible belt or in the flexible belt and adapted to receive and store selected wearer information for proper operation with a remote reader. Radio frequency identification (RFID) circuit or wafer for wireless communication. For example examples of identification tapes and the like containing RFID technology, see the following U.S. Patents: 5,493,805; 5,973,598; 5,973,600 96383.doc 1297127; 6,181,287; and 6,414,543; The application serial number 10/101,219; the contents of the above patents and applications are also incorporated herein by reference. έ Organically an identification tape that can capture data can advantageously incorporate a wide range of wearer-related information, such as the use of detailed biometric information when used on a patient in a medical facility, where the range of data that can be read by such machines Fan Fan can far exceed the available space limit on the tape used to receive the same data in a traditional human readable format. In other words, the machine readable data technology license is applied to the identification tape and/or the wearer-carrying wearer-related material is in capacity compared to a conventional tape carrying only information in a human readable form. There has been a substantial increase in the number of Fan Yuge. Within a patient identification system, for example, the identification tape can carry or carry a basic patient name data and the like of a human readable character, while carrying a machine readable form relating to the patient's name and age. A wide range of identical and additional information, gender, address, health status, allergies, and/or therapy. While the combination of machine readable information on or within a flexible identification band yields a number of benefits and advantages, the practice of machine readable technology is accompanied by significant shortcomings and disadvantages. More specifically, some machine-readable forms (such as linear bar codes) require a flatter surface for accurate reading by a code reader. However, a wristband such as a wristband or a foot or the like that is mounted on a person exhibits a curved configuration in nature. Although the curvature and the resulting distortion of the bar code information may not be sufficient to interfere with the reading of the material, when the band is mounted on an adult of a general body, the situation is often designed to match the size of a small person, such as Infants or 96383.doc 1297127 The smaller identification bands for young children are large and different. In addition, the curvature of the band may also affect the transmission or broadcast range of an RFID circuit used to communicate with the remote reader, where such a communication with the light-out circuit is significantly diminished in the case of a small band suitable for infants or young children. . Furthermore, in the case of a small identification tape sized for the wearer to be comfortable, the tape width may not be sufficient to receive information suitable for people who are suitable for quick and easy visual reading, or to receive a bar code suitable for promotion. The machine that reads the size of the reader can read the surface area of the bar coded information. Similarly, a small identification tape may be too small to carry and support an RFID circuit or wafer. Also, when used to carry or carry wearer-related information in a human readable or machine readable form, the identification tape is typically constructed of a relatively rigid plastic based material that is designed to provide a suitable The information is permanently printed on and/or protectively supports a rugged substrate of an RFID circuit or wafer. Therefore, such identification tapes tend to be stiffer, have a more easily scratched and sharp edge, and thus are uncomfortable for the user to wear for a long time. In addition, although such identification tapes are often designed to encase or protect printed information and/or an RFID circuit from damage attributable to water intrusion, with the band being secured to the wearer's wrist Band bending and twisting, or the like, adds additional bending and flexing that occurs during a normal life cycle, often resulting in wrinkling of the edges of the tape, thereby undesirably allowing water to enter the tape. Such water intrusion can cause the printed information to be blurred in a manner that consistently renders the printed information unreadable, and/or causes damage to the packaged RFID circuitry. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the type of information related to the wearer and the phase identification of the 96383.doc 1297127. 隹-〇K ? A. A yjL. ^ ▲ More 1^ step improvement, specific words Among them, a relatively flat information bearing surface is provided by the - identification tape, and the identification tape can have a smaller size suitable for use in infants or young children or small objects. The present invention satisfies the above needs and provides related advantages. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION - According to the present invention, an identification tag is provided and used to securely mount the identification tag on a selected wearer or target, such as a wrist or the like of a wearer.

The selected plurality of tags can be red-color coded 'e., for example, thereby indicating one or more selected states associated with a designated patient or the like, such as a particular health state. Further features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of the <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; [Embodiment] As shown in the exemplary drawings, an improved disc labeling system, generally indicated by reference numeral 10 in Figures 1 and 3, is used to mount on a selected person or designated object, such as a Approving the wearer's wrist 12 (pictured). The identification label system 10 containing the identification tag 14 and the flexible band 16 assembled together is particularly suitable for, but not limited to, a small wearer or target. Objects, such as infants or toddlers, thereby providing a relatively large and relatively flat information bearing surface area, while permitting the belt 16 to be constructed of a softer flexible material selected for substantially optimal comfort. 1-3 is depicted in a preferred form, which generally includes a structure that is more rigid, substantially rectangular, and has a smooth rounded corner for user comfort. The label 14 is used by one. Receiving and carrying a suitable material construction in addition to printed information in a human readable and/or machine readable form. Figure 3 depicts the wearer's name, address, identification printed on the left side of the label 14 (viewed in Figure 3). People with numbers, etc. can read information 18 and machine readable information such as a linear or matrix bar code 20 printed on the right side of the label 14. When the label system 10 is used as a patient identification bracelet, the barcode 20 can represent a wide range of wearer related material. Non-limiting features include a copy of the information 丨8 and additional information such as patient status, therapy, etc. Barcode 2〇 is suitable for quick and easy by a conventional barcode reader (not shown in Figures 1-3) In a preferred form, the identification tag 14 has a multi-layer construction which may comprise a laminate of paper, synthetic paper, and/or plastic material such as polyester and deformed polyethylene and the like. The identification tag 14 has a relatively rigid yet flexible or flexible structure that provides a more robust substrate for receiving, carrying, and/or supporting wearer-related information such as that applied by conventional printer technology. In one version, the label 14 can be surface treated to be heat sensitive such that the wearer related information 18, 20 can be printed on the label by a thermal printer. In another style, non-limiting properties can be used. Containing thunder Other types of printers, such as printers and the like. In some styles, the information printed on 96383.doc 12 1297127 can be applied directly to the outer surface of one of the labels 14 and in other styles. A transparent cover layer can be incorporated to cover and protect an inner layer to which information has been printed. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that a wide variety of different materials and configurations and associated manufacturing methods can be used to form the identification tag 14. Figure 2 depicts A radio frequency identification (RFID) circuit 22 incorporated into the identification tag 14 is embedded, for example, by a circuit or wafer or the like embedded in the tag 4 in a position that is protectively encapsulated between the plurality of layers constituting the tag. The ruler 1?1; the circuit 2 2 is adapted to receive and store a wide range of wearer-related information that may be quite detailed for proper wireless communication with a remote reader (not shown). For examples of examples of identification tapes and the like containing RFID technology, see the following U.S. Patents: 5,493,805; 5,973,598; 5,973,600; 6,181,287; and 6,414,543; and U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 10/101 The contents of the above patents and applications are hereby incorporated by reference. The identification tag 14 constructed in this manner is suitable for quick and easy assembly to the flexible π 16 , which is suitable for quick and easy mounting to a selected wearer or target. Figures 1-3 show that the identification tag 14 includes a pair of spaced apart and substantially parallel spaced apertures 24 formed therein corresponding to opposite ends of the label 14, wherein the size and shape of the slots 24 are predetermined In order to accommodate the free end of one of the flexible belts 16 in a slip fit manner. The identification tag 14 can thus be slidably positioned along the length of the band 16, wherein the printed wearer related information 18, 20 is carried or otherwise visually displayed on one of the outward sides of the tag 14 for direct The visual reader can read the data 丨8 and can be used by a direct optical scanning machine to read data such as bar code data and/or for wireless communication with the rfid 96383.doc -13- 1297127 circuit. One of the opposite ends of the flexible strip 16 typically includes or carries one or more tie elements 26 adapted to receive and/or engage a structure such as one of a plurality of longitudinally spaced apertures 28 formed adjacent the free end of the strip, Thereby the strap 16 is supported and held in a closed loop configuration of the selected size wrapped around the wearer's wrist 12 or the like (Fig. 1). Although a pair of snap-fit tie members 26 at opposite ends of the strap 16 are depicted in the exemplary embodiment (FIG. 3) for engaging the snap-fit member 26 with one of the apertures of the aperture 28 Intermeshing, there are also a variety of different page configurations and phase correlation devices available. In this regard, the following U.S. patents disclose a variety of different tie structures for quickly and easily retaining a flexible tape in a closed ring geometry of a selected diameter: 4, 221, 〇 63; 4, 285, 146; 4, 318, 234 No. 4,386,795; 5,226,8〇9; 5,448,846; 5,457,9()6; 5,479,797; 5,493,8〇5; 5,581,924; 5,_5716; 5,615,5〇4; 5, 74, 623; 5J92, 299; 5, 799, 426; 5, 973, 598; 5, 973, resolution; and 5, 979, 941; the contents of each of which is incorporated herein by reference. In accordance with an important aspect of the present invention, the flexible tape 16 is lightly priced and highly flexible or flexible, which is selected to provide substantially improved comfort and which does not substantially cause significant abrasion to the wearer's skin. Soft plastic material construction. In other words, the customary design is used to directly print the wearer-related information and/or the protective support of an RFID circuit or wafer identification tape type will be more rigid than the rigid structure. The sharp edges result in an identification wristband or bracelet that would be uncomfortable for the user to wear for a long time. Relatively speaking, in the identification tag system 10 of the present invention, the flexible tape 16 does not carry the information of the wearer of the 96383.doc 1297127 on the /, and does not carry other cards printed on the poor or The labeling, and not the definition of a structure for the (four) sexual connection (four) support-na circuit or wafer. In fact, these wearer-related information and the circuit or chip are carried by an independently formed identification tag. Accordingly, the flexible tape 16 can be constructed from an extremely soft and flexible but preferably stretch resistant material, such as a soft vinyl plastic or an analog selected to substantially optimize wearer comfort. Moreover, in accordance with another important aspect of the present invention, the information bearing identification tag 14 is mounted on the exterior of the belt 16. The label 14 is thus constructed to define a size and shape that extends to the surface area beyond the width of the companion strip 16 - the outer side of the information bearing target. Thus, the available information bearing surface area on the identification tag 14 is sufficient to receive and carry a large amount of wearer-related data for quick and easy reading by direct visual perception and/or automated reader, while the 'sign 14 can be A flexible belt 具有 6 having a small size suitable for installation in a small person or target, especially for infants or toddlers, or having a width that would make the surface area extremely small or insufficient to carry a large amount of wearer-related material. Group farming together. In this regard, the width and length of a flexible strap designed to be mounted on the wrist or ankle of a newborn or toddler is generally insufficient to carry a wide range of wear in the form of one that can be quickly and easily read by an alternative component. RELATED INFORMATION 0 The stiffer identification tag 14 is sufficient to retain its undeformed, substantially flat or substantially planar shape when mounted on the flexible belt 16, so that the band 6 is mounted in a closed loop configuration in a closed configuration. The wearer provides a localized belt area of a generally or approximately planar shape. This locally flat or nearly flat region thus the 96830.doc -15- 1297127 side wearer-related information is presented to the identification tag μj with minimal or no curvature for, for example, by a bar code reader and/or R FID circuit 2 2 and - the remote reader's wireless communication to the machine-readable data 20 printed on the machine for fast, easy and Philippine benefits § buy jobs. That is, the identification tag Μ is not sufficiently curved to directly follow the high curvature of the small diameter band 16 mounted on, for example, a wrist or ankle of a newborn or toddler, such a high curvature will dry out, The barcode is read out and/or the broadcast range of the RFID circuit 22 is attenuated. It is important, however, that the remainder of the flexible flexible strip 16 can exhibit the necessary high curvature required to secure the strap on the wearer, yet presented in a very comfortable manner. The identification tag 14 is provided as a single n component for processing by one or more (four) brush stations for printing the wearer's information, and the printing station may also include the desired range of wear. The relevant data is input to the appropriate stylized components of the RFm circuit 22. Alternatively, for printing and stylization, it can be provided in the form of a roll or a sheet, a batch or a plurality of identification marks, or a plurality of print/program stations, as shown in the example print station 30 shown in FIG. Each of the assigned identification irons 14 can be removed from the roll or sheet for immediate assembly with the accompanying flexible belt 16 and mounted to a designated person or object. More specifically, according to the preferred pattern, FIG. 4 is a plurality of long strips or strips 32 of identification labels 14 of the type shown in FIG. 3, wherein the labels (4) are connected to each other and can be The perforations 34 may be separated from one another by a suitably weakened dividing line that has been previously cut. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the RFID circuit 22 embedded in each of the tags 14 positioned between the upper and lower multilayer tag formations. Figure 6 depicts a long strip or strip 32 of the form 96383.doc -16 - 1297127, which is suitable for installation in a printing station 3 (Fig. 8) for individual input of each label 14 in sequence. Appropriate wearer-related information is then applied, and each label is dispensed from the station 3, removed from the roll 36, and properly assembled with a flexible strip 16 (Fig. 3). Each identification tag 14 can include one or more locating ports 38 (Fig. 4) formed therein to facilitate optically controlled advancement of the growth bar 32 and a combined printer/program via a printing station 3 〇 or the like. Organizer processing. Figure 7 depicts an alternative or modified long strip or strip 132 having a plurality of identification tags 14 releasably interconnected in a side-to-side relationship different from the head-to-tail configuration shown in Figures 4 and 6. Figure 9-丨2 depicts a modified version of the identification tag, wherein the modified tag is labeled with reference numeral 114, but the same reference numerals are used for components that are identical in structure or function to those shown in the figure. Marked. As shown, the identification tag 114 is substantially the same as the embodiment of FIG. 4, with the difference that the rectangular tag is reoriented, thereby making the long dimension of the tag vertical when the tag 114 is mounted on a companion tape 16. In one of the long dimensions of the belt 16. More specifically, the modified identification tag 114 shown in FIGS. 9-11 is constructed in accordance with the foregoing embodiment of FIGS. 1-3 to have a relatively rigid but still somewhat flexible and rounded structure, defining a for receiving and supporting A sturdy, durable substrate that can be read in a form 18 and machine readable form, such as wearer-related information for bar code data 20. In addition, the tag 114 can include an rfid circuit 22 (Fig. 1 (M1)) formed thereon or embedded therein and having a capacity to receive and store a wide range of wearer-related information. The tag 114 has - significantly less than - The shorter dimension defines the approximate rectangular size and shape of one of the longer dimensions. As shown, the labeling tool has a pair formed near one end thereof for receiving the flexible band in a slip fit "wearing 96383.doc -17- 1297127
