Abstract
An identification card having one part that is movable relative to the other part of the card.

The card holder can move one part of the card relative to the other part to make codes function in combination with each other to identify the holder.
Claims14
An identification card having a primary code portion, located on a non-movable member of the card, and a secondary code portion, located on a movable member of the card, which card requires action by a card holder to make said code portions function in combination with each other in order to identify the owner of the card, comprising:
- (a) a non-movable base member including:
- (i) a pair of thin, flat, generally rectangular, first and second outer layers;
- (ii) a thin, flat, generally U-shaped inner layer secured between said outer layers and having an elongated first opening therein that forms between said outer layers a groove extending to one end thereof for receiving a movable slide member;
- (b) said first outer layer having an elongated second opening therein located intermediate opposite ends thereof, aligned with portions of said first opening, and having on an outer first surface thereof, adjacent said second opening, a primary portion of a magnetic identification code;
- (c) a movable slide member positioned within said groove for slidable movement between said outer layers;
- (d) said movable slide member having on one side thereof a raised portion with a second surface co-planer with said first surface and having thereon a secondary portion of a magnetic identification code which, when said second surface is placed in a predetermined position relative to said first surface, will enable said secondary code portion, in combination with said primary code portion, to identify the owner of the card;
- (e) means for accurately positioning said movable slide member in said predetermined position.

- (ii) a thin, flat, inner layer secured between said outer layers and having an elongated first opening therein that forms between said outer layers a groove extending to one end thereof for receiving a movable slide member;
- (b) said first outer layer having an elongated second opening therein located intermediate opposite ends thereof, aligned with portions of said first opening, and having on an outer first surface thereof, adjacent said second opening, a primary portion of an electrically readable identification code;
- (c) a movable slide member positioned within said groove for slidable movement between said outer layers;
- (d) said movable slide member having on one side thereof a raised portion with a second surface co-planer with said first surface and having thereon a secondary portion of an electrically readable identification code which, when said second surface is placed in a predetermined position relative to said first surface, will enable said secondary code portion, in combination with said primary code portion, to identify the owner of the card;
- (f) means for accurately positioning said movable slide member in said predetermined position.
