RFID label, method for producing the RFID label, device for producing the RFID label, sheet member (tag sheet) used for the RFID label, and cartridge attached to the device for producing the RFID label

A device for producing a RFID label comprising:

• an image forming means having a thermal head or an ink jet head for forming an image on an image-formed object having an information discriminating portion for discriminating information by radio;
• and
• a platen facing the image forming means and coming into contact with the image-formed object in order to allow the image-formed object to move along the thermal head or the ink jet head,
• wherein the platen is provided with an elastic body used to absorb a pressing force between the information discriminating portion and the thermal head or the ink jet head by being elastically deformed by the information discriminating portion of the image-formed object or used to reduce the approach of the image-formed object and the thermal head or the ink jet head to each other caused by the information discriminating portion.

A cartridge used for a RFID label, the cartridge being detachably attached to a RFID label producing device including an image forming means for forming an image on an image-formed object, the cartridge comprising:

• a holding portion that holds a sheet member having an information discriminating portion for discriminating information by radio and the image-formed object in a state in which the sheet member and the image-formed object are wound like a roll;
• a conveying path to convey the sheet member and the image-formed object along mutually different paths from the holding portion to a stack position at which the sheet member and the image-formed object are stacked together;
• an insertion hole formed in the conveying path of the image-formed object, the insertion hole used to insert the image forming means provided on the side of the RFID label producing device;
• and
• a roller disposed at the stack position on the side of an end of the conveying path, the roller stacking the sheet member and the image-formed object together while conveying the sheet member and the image-formed object in cooperation with a roller provided in the RFID label producing device,
• wherein formed is a pressure absorbing means for absorbing a pressing force exerted on the information discriminating portion of the sheet member on a roller surface of the roller.
