Definitions

• the present invention relates to an arrangement for the identification of objects such as patients, competitors and visitors to trade fairs, animals and baggage, comprising a strip-like tape made from a tear-resistant material, which tape has at least one field for information identifying the object, and means for attaching one end of the tape to an arbitrary point on the tape so as to produce a closed strip loop intended to be placed around a projecting part of the object associated with the information in question, whereby the aforementioned means for producing the strip loop consist of a piece of double-sided adhesive tape applied at the aforementioned one end of the tape, which adhesive tape is covered prior to use by a removable protective film.
• the object of the present invention is to make available an identification arrangement of the kind referred to by way of introduction, which is simple to produce, entails a comparatively low price, and creates great difficulty, to the extent even of making it impossible, to replace the identification arrangement for whatever reason.
• the adhesive tape for producing the strip loop is of a kind such that, when the closed loop is parted at that point, the adhesive tape separates in a laminar fashion so that rejoining is not possible.
• the tape is manufactured from, for example, a glass fibre-reinforced paper of a previously disclosed kind.
• a tape of this kind is highly resistant to mechanical influences, water-resistant and kind to the skin, and can easily be marked with information, for example in the form of a bar code, by printing, stamping or writing using a fountain pen or a ball point pen.
• information fields are present on both sides of the tape so as to offer full freedom of choice in respect of the manner of its application to the object.
• the information field can, of course, extend over the full surface of the tape.
• FIG. l illustrates in schematic form an embodiment of the identification arrangement in accordance with the invention.
• Figures 2 and 3 illustrate two alternative methods for producing a closed strip loop using the arrangement in accordance with Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 shows in schematic form the strip loop in accordance with Fig. 3 after it has been parted.
• An identification arrangement in accordance with the present invention comprises a strip-like tape 1, preferably made from a paper reinforced with, for example, glass fibre.
• a paper reinforced with, for example, glass fibre is previously disclosed and is used for, amongst other things, external envelopes which are subject to certain requirements in respect of wearing strength and toughness.
• the use of other tape material may be considered, on condition that the aforementioned requirements are met.
• the tape 1 exhibits a stepped narrowed part la and a field lb for information associated with a particular object.
• the aforementioned field may be positioned at one end of the tape 1 and may be shaped like an address label.
• a piece 2 of double-sided adhesive tape is applied to the narrowed part la of the tape 1.
• the piece 2 of adhesive tape is covered by a protective film of a previously disclosed kind before the tape 1 is used.
• the tape can be used to produce a closed loop in accordance with one or other of the alternatives shown in Figures 1 and 2, whereby the alternative in accordance with Fig. 1 is intended primarily for the identification of humans and animals, and the embodiment in accordance with Fig. 2 is intended for baggage, for example.
• the information field lb is preferably on both sides of the tape 1.
• the information field can, as already stated by way of introduction, cover the whole surface of the tape.
• the double-sided adhesive tape 2 is of a kind such that, when the closed loop is parted at that point, the adhesive tape separates in a laminar fashion so that its two adhesion layers 2a, 2b remain in contact with the tape 1. These are illustrated by a pattern of dots in Fig. 4. It is now impossible to produce a closed loop again. The invention thus successfully prevents a loop previously closed for whatever reason from being reclosed once it has been parted.
