Wireless ic tag injection apparatus

Abstract

A wireless IC tag injection apparatus has a rotary tag-feeding mechanical section feeding IC tags to a delivering guide pass, while receiving wireless IC tags falling from a tag-housing hopper to outer circumferential pockets provided to a rotating disc, and a first tag-sorting mechanical section arranged at the lower end of the delivering guide pass and adapted to switch a delivering pass between two branched passes alternately. The apparatus also has a tag temporary-shutoff mechanical section and a data writing/reading device both provided to the branched pass, a second tag-sorting mechanical section arranged at the lower end of the branched pass and adapted to sort the data-processed IC tags to defective tag evacuation side and conforming tag feeding side, and a tag-injecting section connected to the conforming tag feeding section in the second tag-sorting mechanical section.
