Abstract

The invention relates to a portable data carrier ( 1 ) with a break-out mini smart card ( 2 ) embedded therein. The mini smart card ( 2 ) is separated from the remaining card body by a free punch ( 3 ) extending over substantial parts of the mini smart card. According to the invention, the mini smart card ( 2 ) contains another rated breaking line ( 5 ) having a different break-out direction from that of the mini smart card.

Claims (6)

1. A portable data carrier ( 1 ) comprising:

a break-out mini smart card ( 2 ), the mini smart card ( 2 ) being largely separated from the remaining carrier body by a free punch ( 3 ) extending over substantial parts of the mini smart card and

a rated breaking line ( 5 ) disposed within the mini smart card ( 2 ) configured, located and dimensioned so as to enable the size of the mini smart card ( 2 ) to be further reduced to create a miniaturized mini smart card;

the break-out direction given by the rated breaking line for the mini smartcard out of the portable data carrier being different from the break-out direction for the miniaturized mini smart card.

2. A portable data carrier according to claim 1 , including bars ( 6 ) interrupting the free punch line ( 3 ) disposed in the edge areas of the mini smart card ( 2 ) at the same level.

3. A portable data carrier according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the bars ( 9 ) within the mini smart card have higher strength than the bars ( 6 ) connecting the mini smart card with the remaining carrier body.
