RFID bracelet and method for manufacturing a RFID bracelet
A RFID bracelet and a method for manufacturing the same wherein the bracelet is composed of a bottom layer having a top surface and a bottom surface, a radio frequency identification microprocessor attached to the top surface of the bottom layer, an antenna, operably coupled to the radio frequency identification microprocessor and attached to the top surface of the bottom layer, a core layer, positioned above the bottom layer and attached to the bottom layer, the radio frequency identification microprocessor and the antenna and a top layer, positioned above the core layer and attached to the core layer.
1. A method for manufacturing a bracelet comprising:
providing a bottom layer having a top surface and a bottom surface;
attaching a radio frequency identification microprocessor to the top surface of the bottom layer;
forming an antenna on the top surface of the bottom layer whereby the antenna is operably coupled to the radio frequency identification microprocessor;
forming a disabling tail on the top surface of the bottom layer, whereby the disabling tail is operably coupled to the antenna;
loading the bottom layer into an injection molding apparatus;
loading the top layer, positioned above the top surface of the bottom layer, into the injection molding apparatus; and
injecting thermosetting polymeric material between the top layer and the top surface of the bottom layer.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a plurality of extremity loops on the bracelet for fastening the bracelet to the wrist of a wearer.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of bracelets are formed from one bottom layer.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising: removing the injected top and bottom layers from the injection molding apparatus and cutting out the plurality of bracelets.
5. A method for manufacturing a bracelet comprising:
providing a bottom layer having a top surface and a bottom surface;
attaching a radio frequency identification microprocessor to the top surface of the bottom layer;
attaching a battery to the top surface of the bottom layer, so that it provides power to the radio frequency identification microprocessor;
forming an antenna on the top surface of the bottom layer whereby the antenna is operably coupled to the radio frequency identification microprocessor;
forming a disabling tail on the top surface of the bottom layer, whereby the disabling tail is operably coupled to the antenna;
loading the bottom layer into an injection molding apparatus;
loading the top layer, positioned above the top surface of the bottom layer, into the injection molding apparatus; and
injecting thermosetting polymeric material between the top layer and the top surface of the bottom layer.
