Magnetic badge assembly

A self-adhering badge assembly, comprising:

• a pair of separable substantially flat badge panels adapted to be placed in face-to-face clamping assembly alignment with a selected area of an article of clothing clamped between the panels and thereby supporting the badge assembly in place on the article of clothing;
• each of said panels having a similar substantially flat core comprising a layer of magnetic material providing at least one N-pole alternating polarity at each of opposite sides of the panel, and with the poles of one of said panels in complementary orientation relative to the poles of the other of said panels to attain efficient magnetic attraction of each panel for the other panel in clamping assembly;
• a respective laminated plastic film jacket enclosing said core of each of the panels;
• said laminated plastic film jacket of each panel comprising respective plastic film sections on each face of each of the panels;
• margins of said plastic film sections projecting beyond the edges of said flat core;
• and a frame of filler material about the edges of the core and between said margins;
• said margins and said filler material frame being secured fixedly together;
• and one of said panels being adapted to lie in exposed relation at the outer side of said area of the article of clothing and having an outer face provided with means for displaying badge indicia.

• a respective laminated plastic film jacket enclosing said core of each of the panels;
• said core of each of said panels comprising magnetic tape and said magnetic tape being located adjacent to that face of each of the panels which is adapted to face toward the other panel in the clamping assembly;
• a thin stiffening ferromagnetic plate in laminar relation in the core with the magnetic tape and laminated at the face of the magnetic tape which is adapted to be adjacent to the outer face of each of the panels in the clamping assembly;
• said plastic film jacket of each panel comprising film sections having margins projecting beyond all edges of said core;
• filler means between said margins and about the laminar core;
• said filler means and said margins being permanently secured together;
• and one of said panels being adapted to lie in exposed relation at the outer side of said area of the article of clothing and having an outer face provided with means for displaying badge indicia.
