The invention is related to an RFID applicator that may include a peeler member (140) including a peel end (142), the peeler member being configured to cause an RFID label (102) to peel away from a web (110) when the web passes around the peel end; a label tamp assembly (150) configured to receive the RFID label and to move the RFID label into contact with an item (104) on which the RFID label is to be applied; and a label reject assembly having an extendable path altering mechanism (500) located proximate to said peel end, configured to advance from a retracted position to an extended position to alter a path of the web around said peel end, and wherein said extendable path altering mechanism is positioned and dimensioned to inhibit an RFID label from peeling away from said web.The invention relates to an RFID label applicator (100) that may include a peeler body portion (140) having a peel end (142), the body portion being configured to cause an RFID label (102) to peel away from a web (110) when the web passes around the peel end. The body portion may define a cavity (302) having an RFID programming antenna (132) located therein that is configured to transmit programming signals to the RFID label prior to its passing around the peel end. The system may also include an extendable path (162) altering mechanism (164) configured to advance from a retracted position to an extended position to alter a path of the web around said peel end, and wherein the extendable path altering mechanism is positioned and dimensioned to inhibit a RFID label from peeling away from the web when in the extended position.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a radio frequency identification (RFID) label applicator, and more particularly, to an RFID label capable of programming, detecting defective RFID labels, and ejecting defective RFID labels. Background technique [0002] Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are generally known and can be used in a variety of applications, such as managing inventory, electronic access control, security systems, automatic vehicle identification on toll roads, and Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS). RFID devices can be used to track or monitor the location and / or status of an item or merchandise to which the RFID device is affixed. An RFID system typically includes an RFID reader and an RFID device such as a tag or tag. An RFID reader can transmit a radio frequency carrier signal to the RFID device. The RFID device may respond to the carrier signal with a data signal that encodes information stored in the RFID device. RFID d...
