Abstract
A new type of RFID tag is provided. A gaming chip that incorporates a sticker-type RFID tag comprises: an enclosing member having a predetermined shape for enclosing the RFID tag; a body member that is injection-molded to encapsulate the enclosing member with the RFID tag; and a gaming chip for amusement. The enclosing member consists of a first part and a second part, and at least the first part or the second part has a flat surface to which a sticker-type RFID tag can adhere, and the first part and the second part are combined to form an enclosing member, in which the sticker-type RFID tag is covered by the first part and the second part.
Claims20
A gaming chip that incorporates a sticker-type RFID tag, the gaming chip comprising:
- an enclosing member having a predetermined shape that encloses the sticker-type RFID tag;
- a body member that is injection-molded to enclose the enclosing member enclosing the sticker-type RFID tag;
- and
- a decal member that represents a type or denomination of the gaming chip,
- wherein:
- the enclosing member consists of a first part and a second part,
- at least the first part or the second part has a flat surface to which the sticker-type RFID tag can be adhered,
- the first part and the second part are combined so that the enclosing member is formed and the sticker-type RFID tag is enclosed by the first part and the second part, and
- at least one air gap is positioned between the sticker-type RFID tag and the first part or the second part.
A method for manufacturing a gaming chip comprising:
- a first process of adhering a sticker-type RFID tag to a first part having in advance a flat surface for adhering the sticker-type RFID tag;
- a second process of covering the first part to which the sticker-type RFID tag is adhered with a second part to construct an enclosing member that encloses the sticker-type RFID tag, wherein at least one air gap is positioned between the sticker-type RFID tag and the first part or the second part based on construction of the enclosing member;
- and
- a third process of constructing a main body that encloses the enclosing member that encloses the sticker-type RFID tag by using the enclosing member as an insert part and performing insert molding.
A gaming chip that incorporates an RFID tag, the gaming chips comprising:
- an enclosing member having a predetermined shape that encloses the RFID tag;
- a body member that is injection-molded to enclose the enclosing member enclosing the RFID tag;
- and
- a decal member representing a type or denomination of the gaming chip,
- wherein:
- a first part and a second part are combined to form the enclosing member,
- the RFID tag is covered by the first part and the second part,
- the enclosing member is covered by the body member and the decal member around the enclosing member, and
- at least one air gap is positioned between the RFID tag and the first part or the second part.
