Description

Roll of RFID tags for sports timing.

Object of the invention

This model, as the name implies, refers to a type of RFID tags, intended primarily for sports timing, whose arrangement and structural and electrical characteristics make them especially suitable for application directly attached to the athlete's back, preferably on the back of the same.

Background of the invention

Currently, the use of RFID (radiofrequency identification) has become widespread and its implementation already covers various sectors, since it allows the storage and retrieval of data remotely, using devices that are commonly referred to as: tags, cards, transponders or RFID tags . The fundamental purpose of RFID technology is to transmit the identity of an object (similar to a unique serial number) using radio waves.

RFID tags are small devices, similar to a sticker, that can be attached or incorporated into a product, an animal or a person. They contain antennas to allow them to receive and respond to requests by radiofrequency from an RFID transmitter-receiver.

RFID tags have been used for years in sports timing, WO 2010138882 is a clear example of this technology and this application. The problems posed by the labels used to date are on the one hand the support of the RFID chip turns out to be too thick to be printed by an RFID inlays printer; The signal transmission is also not good due to the poor isolation between the chip and the human body, so they usually require the use of two labels per dorsal and, finally, they do not allow the formation of label rolls, since they are very bulky even with few units.

Description of the invention

The labels object of this model use a dielectric material as medium support of the RFID chip, thin enough to allow its passage through an RFID printing machine and insulating enough to use a single chip in each athlete, which allows to have Blank printers and chips for timekeepers to store and print labels for each event, or when required.

The set of these labels is arranged in a roll, separated by transverse cut lines so that they are separated or individualized and applied on the athlete's back, attached by the inside of the same to avoid circumstantial detachment.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached to the present specification in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 represents in perspective view one of the RFID tags.

Figure 2 shows a roll of RFID tags.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the referenced figures, each label (5) has a support sheet (1) of the RFID chip (3), which is made of a dielectric material that allows the electromagnetic energy to be conducted and prevents the propagation of the tangential currents absorbed by The body of the athlete.

On these labels, the face corresponding to the RFID chip (3) is coated with an adhesive, which is protected until use by a thin protective foil (2). Once this sheet is removed, it sticks to the sportsman's back and to the inside of the dorsal.

The arrangement of these labels is a roll type format, in which the labels (5) are located transversely, separated by cut lines (6), which allow them to be individualized for delivery to the commissioner or the athlete in order to place them on the back in the manner indicated.

Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the described elements may be modified, provided that this does not imply an alteration. of the essential features of the invention claimed below:
