FIG. 5 shows a processing procedure when data is written to the linen data carrier 20 by the R / W (read / write) head 30. When the program starts, the linen data carrier 20 approaches. Is recognized (step 120), and necessary data is written in the memory 56 of the linen data carrier 20 (step 110).

FIG. 6 shows a memory map 60 of the memory 56 of the linen data carrier 20 thus read and written.
, The memory map 60 has a fixed data portion 61 and a rewritable non-fixed data portion 62.
The fixed data portion 61 is a non-rewritable read-only portion, while the non-fixed data portion 62 is the number data (62-
1) and date / time data (62-2).
The cleaning count data 71, the stain removal count data 72, and the repair count data 73 of the count data (62-1) are updated each time new cleaning, stain removal, or repair is performed. The same applies to the date / time data (62-2).

Next, referring to FIGS. 7 to 10, FIG.
The details of the data carrier shown in FIG.
The same parts as those shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals in the following description.

First, FIG. 7 shows details of the button type linen data carrier 20.

As shown in the figure, the button type linen data carrier 20 is formed in a button shape, and the PPS resin 8 is used.
6 has a structure in which the data carrier unit 20A is embedded.

The data carrier portion 20A is composed of a substrate 80, an IC chip portion 81 provided on the substrate 80, a capacitor portion 82, and an antenna 51.

The IC chip section 81 includes the rectifier circuit 52 and the demodulator circuit 5 in the configuration of the data carrier 20 shown in FIG.

In particular, when it is attached to the collar inner portion 91, the linen data carrier 22 is located on the upper surface when folded, so that there is an effect that it is easy to read and write data.

The name plate type linen data carrier 28 shown in FIG. 9 is attached to the chest 92 of the linen material 10 as a name plate by a clip 89 (not shown).

FIG. 11 shows a state of a read / write head 30 of a different form from that shown in FIG.

The read / write head 30 includes a handy type (portable type) 30A and a stationary type (fixed type) 3
0B, which are connected to the controller 40.

Handy type read / write head 3
OA manually transfers data by bringing it close to the linen data carrier 20, and a stationary type lead / reader.
The write head 30B can automatically exchange data when the linen material 10 passes near the read / write head 30B.

In the above description, the present invention has been described for the case where a linen material used by a doctor or a nurse in a hospital is sent for cleaning. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to clothes in various fields. Of course.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the readable / writable linen data carrier 20 is attached to the uniform 10 so that the read / write head 30 can read / write data from / to the linen data carrier 20. It produces the effect like.

(1) When sending out to a linen supplier for cleaning, the information as described in the conventional tag can be written in the linen data carrier 20 by the read / write head 30. Since the information written on the carrier 20 can be read by another read / write head 30 at another place (for example, a cleaning plant), the conventional tag is not required, and the linen supply can be performed easily and at low cost.

(2) The linen data carrier 20 includes:
Since it is possible to read and write various information, it will improve the service to users. Linen data carrier 20
In this case, for example, the cleaning frequency data 71 is written, so that the user can be provided with such information as the life approaches.

(3) The linen data carrier 20 can also be used as a button or a name plate, or can be attached to the back of a patch in a sheet form, so that it can be attached without any special attachment position, and can be attached to a conventional linen material. Easy to install.

Since the PPS resin having excellent chemical resistance and heat resistance can be used as the molding material of the linen data carrier 20, the internal data carrier portion can be effectively protected.

[0073]

As is apparent from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) Since a readable / writable linen data carrier is attached to clothes such as linen material, the clothes can be handled based on the data stored in the data carrier, and the linen supplier can take the cleaning out. There is no need to add tags, etc. Therefore, it is possible to provide a garment with a linen data carrier that can clean linen materials and the like easily and a linen supply system using the garment with a linen data carrier.

(2) Since various information can be read / written by the read / write head on the linen data carrier, the service to the user is improved. For example, since the number of times of cleaning data is written in the data carrier, it is possible to provide such information to the user when the life of the cleaning device is approaching.

(3) The linen data carrier can also be used as a button or a name plate, or can be attached to the back surface of the patch in a sheet form, so that it can be attached without any special attachment position, and can be easily applied to conventional linen materials. Can be attached to.

Further, since the PPS resin having excellent chemical resistance and heat resistance can be used as the molding material for the linen data carrier, the internal data carrier portion can be effectively protected.
