Attachment bracket for an RFID tag

1. An RFID bracket assembly, comprising:

a first substantially planar member;

a second substantially planar member adjoining said first substantially planar member to define an angular relationship therebetween;

said first substantially planar member comprising an attachment mechanism for detachably securing said bracket to a support;

said second substantially planar member having an RFID tag secured thereto; and

a locking hinge adjoining said first substantially planar member and said second substantially planar member to each other;

wherein said first substantially planar member and said second substantially planar member are selectively rotatable at said hinge to configure said bracket between a closed position and an open position.

2. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment mechanism comprises at least one magnet.

3. The bracket according to claim 2 , wherein the attachment mechanism comprises two magnets attached to a top surface of the first substantially planar member.

4. The bracket according to claim 2 , wherein at least one magnet is attached to the first substantially planar member with a rivet.

5. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein said second substantially planar member comprises a ferromagnetic material with which said RFID tag is secured to said second substantially planar member with magnetic forces.

6. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein said first substantially planar member or said second substantially planar member comprises a handle portion.

7. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein said second substantially planar member comprises at least one positioning stud specifically configured for positioning an RFID tag on said second substantially planar member.

8. An RFID bracket assembly, comprising:

a first arm;

a second arm adjoining said first arm to define an angular relationship therebetween;

an RFID tag;

said first arm comprising an attachment mechanism for detachably securing said RFID bracket assembly to a support;

said second arm comprising a tag mounting surface;

said RFID tag secured to said tag mounting surface; and

a locking hinge adjoining said first arm and said second arm to each other;

wherein said first arm and said second arm are selectively rotatable at said hinge to configure said bracket between a closed position and an open position.

9. An RFID bracket assembly according to claim 8 , wherein said RFID tag is secured to said tag mounting surface with magnetic forces.

10. An RFID bracket assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the attachment mechanism comprises at least one magnet.

11. An RFID bracket assembly, comprising:

a first substantially planar member;

a second substantially planar member adjoining said first substantially planar member to define an angular relationship therebetween;

said first substantially planar member comprising an attachment mechanism for detachably securing said bracket to a support surface;

said second substantially planar member having an RFID tag secured thereto;

a mounting surface, provided on said attachment mechanism, comprising a rubberlike coating or layer that increases friction and flushness between the bracket and the support surface to which it is mounted; and

a locking hinge adjoining said first arm and said second arm to each other;

wherein said first arm and said second arm are selectively rotatable at said hinge to configure said bracket between a closed position and an open position.

12. The bracket according to claim 11 , wherein the attachment mechanism comprises at least one magnet.

13. The bracket according to claim 12 , wherein the attachment mechanism comprises two magnets attached to a top surface of the first substantially planar member.

14. The bracket according to claim 12 , wherein at least one magnet is attached to the first substantially planar member with a rivet.

15. The bracket according to claim 11 , wherein said second substantially planar member comprises a ferromagnetic material with which said RFID tag is secured to said second substantially planar member with magnetic forces.

16. The bracket according to claim 11 , wherein said first substantially planar member or said second substantially planar member comprises a handle portion.

17. The bracket according to claim 11 , wherein said second substantially planar member comprises at least one positioning stud specifically configured for positioning an RFID tag on said second substantially planar member.
