Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic tag, which has a function of illegally taking out an individual equipped with the electronic tag, in particular, a criminal act such as shoplifting, and can perform identification and information management of the individual together as necessary. The present invention relates to a tape-type electronic tag that can be attached with an IC tag.

  The magnetic tag is used for the purpose of preventing goods and equipment from being illegally taken out from a store or a facility by utilizing the property that a magnetic material affects an electromagnetic field. This magnetic tag is systematically associated with a gate that generates and senses an electromagnetic field. Since this magnetic tag is intended to prevent illegal taking-out of goods and the like, it does not have an individual identification function.

In the case of this type of magnetic tag, most of the sticking work is done manually, which is very inefficient and takes time, and the attached state may actually meander. Yes, in addition to the functionality, the aesthetics will also deteriorate.

  Although the applicant investigated the prior art documents related to the present invention, the applicant was not able to find any documents that seem to be related to the present invention and are similar to each other.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the conventional tape-type magnetic tag is a manual operation that is almost manual, takes time, and the appearance of the attached state also deteriorates. This is also true for a non-contact tag composed of an IC chip and an antenna.

In order to solve the above-described problems, an electronic tag attaching method according to the present invention is an electronic device in which a magnetic tag made of at least a magnetic tape is fixed to one surface of a tape material as a base along the longitudinal direction. In the tag, the electronic tag is formed as a hoop material, and on one surface of the tape material serving as the base, in addition to the magnetic tag described above, an IC chip having individual identification information and a transmission / reception antenna are configured, Wireless non-contact type IC tags using UHF band microwaves are juxtaposed or polymerized, and an adhesive layer is provided on the other side of the tape material used as the base, and the adhesive layer is peeled off. The electronic tape formed as the hoop material is made of paper, and the tape material used as the base has a width of 6 mm or less and a length in use of 50 mm to 130 mm. A base for slidable in the pull-out direction of the electronic tag for fixing an object to be cut and pasted to an appropriate length, and for winding the release paper Using the labeling device comprising a winding roller, an attaching means for attaching the electronic tag, and a cutter mechanism for appropriately cutting the electronic tag formed as the hoop material into the length, the hoop The electronic tag formed as a material is set in the case, and the electronic tag is cut into an appropriate length and the book page, throat portion, or bundle or microfilm fish is fixed to the table as a target to be pasted. And pulling out the electronic tag set in the case in a state where the release paper is peeled off, and fixing the release paper peeled off from the electronic tag to the take-up roller. While taking the next winding, the pressing of the electronic tag the release paper was peeled off at the HaSo means to the target, suitably moving length the platform fixed the target, then cut by the cutter mechanism, said by the HaSo means In the method of attaching an electronic tag for attaching an electronic tag to the object, the attaching means is a pressing roller that is pressed against an object fixed to a moving base, and the electronic tag from which the release paper has been peeled is attached to the attaching means. It is characterized in that it is stuck by moving the length of the table to which the object is fixed appropriately while pressing .

  The electronic tag according to the present invention is configured as described above. For this purpose, the hoop material can be pulled out mechanically sequentially and applied to the target surface while being cut and pressed with appropriate dimensions, making it easy even in narrow and narrow places where the installation location is limited. Moreover, it can be mounted neatly without meandering, and the working time can be greatly reduced.

In addition, by installing a non-contact type IC tag in addition to the magnetic tape, information management of the target individual can be performed at the same time. In addition, the additional configuration prevents the excitation slit communicating with the IC chip of the non-contact type IC tag from overlapping the magnetic tag, thereby suppressing the inability to communicate and the deterioration of the function due to the loss of impedance matching. Further, if the magnetic tape and the non-contact type IC tag are polymerized, the base tape can be used in a small area, and the product can be made narrower and shorter in size as a space saving.

  Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a base tape material, and the tape material 1 is made of a flexible plastic. As will be described later, the electronic tag according to the present embodiment is intended to be used for books and other commodities, mainly to prevent unauthorized removal thereof, so that the width of the tape material 1 is 6 mm or less for easy mounting, and The length is in a state of being cut to 150 mm or less, particularly 130 mm, 63 mm, 50 mm, etc. according to the object.

On one surface of the tape material 1, a magnetic tag 2 is disposed in a linear direction along the longitudinal direction of the tape material 1, and is fixed via a fixing means such as an adhesive. If only the magnetic tag 2 is required to correspond to the gate and prevent illegal take-out, the non-contact IC tag 3 is arranged in parallel with the magnetic tag 2 in order to manage individual information together. .

  In addition, an adhesive layer is provided on the other side surface of the tape material 1 and a release paper is stacked. The tape material in which the magnetic tag 2 and the non-contact IC tag 3 are initially provided. 1 is formed as a hoop material rolled on the core with the release paper side as the outside.

  The magnetic tag 2 here is generally used for the purpose of preventing illegal take-off such as shoplifting (a configuration combining a magnetic body and a semi-rigid magnetic body, or a configuration only of a magnetic body), Although not particularly limited, the magnetic material is preferably a metal material having a high permeability with an initial permeability of 1000 or more in an excitation magnetic field of 5 mOe, 1 kHz. Specific examples include permalloy containing Ni-Fe as a main component, Fe-Si alloy, amorphous alloy, etc. Among them, Co-Fe-Si-B and Co-Fe-Ni-Si-B as main components. The amorphous metal material is particularly preferable because it exhibits high magnetic permeability.

  In addition, as a form of the magnetic material in the present application, a wire having a circular cross section, an elliptical cross section, a polygonal cross section, a thin plate or a thin strip having a narrow rectangular cross section can be used. In addition, in the magnetization process, an amorphous material mainly composed of Fe-Co-Si-B, which exhibits a magnetic property of large Barkhausen discontinuity that causes rapid magnetization reversal in a specific excitation magnetic field (reverse domain formation limit magnetic field value). Metal materials are also preferred materials for the magnetic body of the present invention.

  In addition, as the semi-hard magnetic material, those having a coercive force of 10 Oersted or more and 500 Oersted or less can be used, and various Fe alloys and Co alloys can be used. Among them, the Fe—Co—Cr alloy is a preferable material for the present invention because it exhibits excellent semi-hard magnetic properties of 30 Oersted or more and 150 Oersted or less. Further, when a semi-hard magnetic material having a length of 3 mm or more is used as the semi-hard magnetic material, sufficient deactivation ability is imparted to the magnetic material (for example, soft magnetic material) when the semi-hard magnetic material is magnetized. Can be preferred.

  Further, the non-contact type IC tag 3 used in this embodiment is composed of an IC chip 4 and an antenna 5 electrically connected to the IC chip 4, and an adhesive means, for example, a 0.17 mm thick double-sided tape. It is fixed by. Here, the antenna 5 is formed of a nonmagnetic material such as a metal or an alloy such as aluminum or copper. Aluminum and copper are inexpensive, have good workability such as etching, and are suitable as a material for the antenna 5 for obtaining good characteristics.

Further, the non-contact type IC tag 3 is a wireless type using a microwave in the UHF band, and a good communication characteristic can be obtained by using a dipole antenna having a rod shape as the antenna 5. The shape can be reduced .

  As described above, the magnetic tag 2 has semi-rigid magnetic bodies as segments 2a, 2a... Arranged at intervals, and the non-contact type IC tag 3 described above corresponding to the interval positions of the segments 2a, 2a. The IC chip 4 can be positioned, and the segments 2a, 2a,... Can be connected or polymerized with a magnetic tape 2b (FIG. 2).

  The electronic tag according to the present embodiment having such a configuration is obtained by polymerizing a cover tape for preventing the magnetic tags 2, 2... And the non-contact type IC tag 3 mounted on the tape material 1 from dropping or misalignment. It can also be made into a tape-like electronic tag as a whole. This electronic tag can be sandwiched between pages of the book B illustrated in FIG. 3 or the throat portion 6 or can be attached using a double-sided tape or the like, between the spine cover 7 and the bundle 8 glued on one edge. It can also be inserted and mounted in the gap formed.

On the other hand, FIG. 4 shows an example in which the electronic tags T, T according to the present embodiment are attached to a case 9 of a cassette magnetic tape (CMT). In this case, the two electronic tags T and T are attached to two orthogonal surfaces of the case 9 with a length of 50 mm, and are in a cross state. In this state, the reaction was tested at a normal walking speed in two patterns when the hand was held between a pair of left and right gates and put in a pocket of clothes. The result is as shown in Table 1, and when put in the pocket, there is no result because the CMT case 9 cannot be kept parallel to the floor.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which the electronic tags T and T are attached to the case 10 of the security microtape. Also in this case, the two electronic tags T and T cut to a length of 50 mm are stuck in a cross state orthogonal to the surface of the case 10. In this case, the test was performed at a normal walking speed at nine points according to the three heights and widths of the left and right gates (see FIG. 8). Also, the holding direction of the security microtape case 10 was carried out in two ways, with the electronic tags T and T parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the floor. The results reacted with an average of 94%. The results are shown in Table 2.

And in FIG. 10 thru | or 12, the case where the electronic tags T and T which were 6 mm in width are stuck on the microfilm fish 11 is shown, and the outline | summary of the labeling apparatus is shown. This place of attachment is the frame 11a portion of the microfilm fish 11, and the length is 50 mm. In this example, two electronic tags are attached to the vertical and horizontal portions of the frame 11a in a cross state.

The electronic tag rolled into a hoop shape is set in a case 12 having a delivery port 12a. The microfilm fish 11 is set and fixed on a sliding table 13. This table 13 can be moved by 50 mm as the required length of the electronic tag T. The outlet 12a of the case 12 corresponds to a frame 11a intended for pasting.

The electronic tag T pulled out from the delivery port 12a is in a state in which the release paper (mounting paper) 14 provided on the adhesive layer side is peeled off from the electronic tag T, and the leading end of the release paper 14 is a winding roller. It is fixed to 15 and is wound up sequentially. The leading end of the electronic tag T is pressed against the frame 11 a by the holding roller 16. Here, when the base 13 moves 50 mm , the electronic tag T is automatically pressed and pasted to the frame 11 a by the pressing roller 16. By the pressing by the holding roller 16, the electronic tag T is affixed precisely without causing meandering or wrinkling. At this time, the release paper 14 is wound up by 50 mm by the winding roller 15, and the electronic tag T is cut by a cutter mechanism at the opening edge of the delivery port 12a. This operation is performed in the vertical and horizontal directions of the frame 11a, and the use of this labeling device significantly increases the efficiency of the operation of attaching the electronic tag T.

  The use of the labeling device is not limited to the microfilm fish 11 and can be performed on the above-described cases 9 and 10 or the book B. In the case of the book B, it can also be performed in the bookbinding process. The length of the electronic tag is not limited to 50 mm, and the book B can be made to correspond to the size of the book B such as 63 mm or 130 mm.
