Abstract
A laminated product having a thickness that can be adjusted by chipping, and including alternating sheets and layers of an adhesive material in a stack, each sheet possessing an intrinsic resistance to tearing and each layer of adhesive material connecting adjacent sheets in the stack with a linking force which is weaker than the resistance of the sheets to tearing, enabling each sheet to be detached from the stack without tearing. The product includes a housing which is disposed inside the thickness of the stack, and an electronic identification element which is disposed in the housing.
Claims19
A laminated adjustment shim for compensation of play in a mechanical assembly, the shim having a thickness adjustable by exfoliation and including:
- a stack of alternating sheets and layers of an adhesive material, each sheet having resistance to tearing, and each layer of adhesive material connecting two adjacent sheets of the stack to one another by a bonding force which is less than the resistance of the sheets to tearing, so that each sheet can be detached from the stack without being torn;
- a blind housing located within the thickness of the stack, the housing having an opening at a surface of the shim;
- and
- an electronic identification component located in the housing.
A laminated adjustment shim comprising:
- a stack of alternating sheets and layers of an adhesive material, wherein
- the sheets extend in a first direction, and
- the stack extends in a perpendicular to the first direction that defines a thickness of the stack;
- a blind housing within the thickness of the stack and extending in the first direction, the blind housing comprising an opening at a surface of the shim;
- an electronic component within the blind housing and comprising
- a memory having identification information of the shim,
- a transmission device coupled to the memory that can be remotely queried to transmit the identification information stored in the memory, and
- an antenna coupled to the transmission device and located proximate the opening at the surface of the shim;
- wherein the memory and the transmission device are arranged inside a sealed cylindrical glass envelope.
