Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to a textile information carrier and a method for producing a textile information carrier. [0002] Textile goods are usually provided with textile labels by the manufacturer, clothing manufacturer, distributor or designer, which contain optically readable information on the composition of the goods, instructions for the care and cleaning and information on the garment size, origin, trademark or trade name as well as the designer. [0003] Especially in high-quality textile goods, designer labels, so-called Jacquard labels are used for identification or labels printed with the inscription of the producer or the trademark, so-called satin labels are used, these being manufactured in expensive processes to make imitations difficult. [0004] In order to be able to more easily identify imitations or incorrect labels or also to identify textile goods during manufacture, processing, during transportation, during storage, during distribution and during care and cleaning, electronic data carriers are being increasingly used which contain redundant or additional information on the optically readable textile label and which can only be read by means of a special reader. The advantage of information stored on electronic data carriers is that this is largely tamper-proof and insensitive to contamination and cleaning agents and it can also be read without optical sight. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] It is the object of the invention to provide a textile information carrier which links the information of an electronic data carrier to information of a textile label such as Jacquard labels or satin labels or a textile product such as inside pocket or inner lining of a garment and maintains the textile properties of the textile label or the textile goods. [0006] This object is solved by a textile information carrier consisting of a textile label or textile goods and a textile detection wafer joined to the textile label or the textile goods, commprising a textile carrier in or on which are disposed a textile antenna and an electronic chip module connected to the textile antenna. [0007] In the textile information carrier according to the information, the textile label or the textile goods, e.g. the jacket inner pocket or the inner lining of a garment on the one hand and the textile detection wafer on the other hand are first manufactured separately and then connected. A textile detection wafer designates a textile carrier with a textile antenna and an electronic chip module. [0008] As a result, the structure and the configuration of the textile label or the textile goods as well as its manufacturing method can be retained unchanged. This is especially advantageous in designer labels for high-quality textile goods which are conventionally woven in an expensive computer-controlled needle weaving method in a continuous strip and then cut. [0009] The textile detection wafer comprising the textile carrier with the textile antenna and the chip module can be manufactured in a standardised manner independently of the textile label or the textile goods and is suitable for connection to different textile labels or textile goods. Apart from the electronic chip module itself and electrically conductive components of the textile antenna, which nevertheless exhibit textile properties however, all the other components of the textile information carrier are made of textile material so that the textile property, especially the flexibility is safeguarded. [0010] The textile detection wafer with its inner side carrying the electronic chip module is advantageously joined to the textile label or the textile goods so that it is reversibly detachable or irreversibly undetachable. [0011] As a result, the electronic chip module is not visible and is protected from mechanical damage. In the case of reversibly detachable textile detection wafers, the textile detection wafer can be removed, for example, after a manufacturing or transportation process if the information is no longer required subsequently or is not to be used by unauthorised persons. [0012] In the case of an irreversibly undetachably connected textile detection wafer, the information should remain permanently linked to the textile label or the textile goods. This makes tampering difficult and impossible without destroying the bond between textile label or textile goods on the one hand and the textile detection wafer on the other hand. [0013] The textile detection wafer can be joined to the textile label or the textile goods by welding or bonding or coating or laminating or gluing or by means of an adhesive film or by means of a patch connection produced under heat and pressure. [0014] The textile detection wafer is joined directly to the textile label or the textile goods by fusing of fibres or filaments or indirectly by an adhesive material. The textile properties of the joined layers of the textile detection wafer and the textile label or textile goods are thus retained. [0015] The connection preferably consists of discrete connecting points or very fine perforated adhesive film. As a result of the restriction to discrete connection points or a very fine, that is thin and flexible, perforated adhesive film, any stiffening of the joined layers of the textile detection wafer and the textile label or the textile goods is avoided. [0016] Furthermore, the connection can consist of self-adhesive embroidery yarn which is embroidered onto the textile carrier of the textile detection wafer. [0017] The embroidered-on self-adhesive embroidery yarn produces a grid which likewise provides discrete connecting points or discrete connecting lines and thus avoids any stiffening of the joined layers of the textile detection wafer and the textile label or the textile goods as a result of the connection not being over the entire surface. [0018] Alternatively, the textile detection wafer can be joined to the textile label or the textile goods by a sewing or embroidery process. [0019] With the textile structure of this join, any stiffening of the joined layers of the textile detection wafer or the textile label or the textile goods is also avoided. [0020] The antenna can be woven-in in a common textile manufacturing process of the textile carrier. [0021] The antenna can be manufactured together with the manufacture of the textile antenna in one work process. The antenna is thereby directly integrated into the textile carrier of the textile detection wafer. [0022] Alternatively, the antenna can be embroidered onto the textile detection wafer in a separate textile manufacturing process.
