Benefits of technology

[0011] In accordance with the present invention the foregoing objects and advantages are readily obtained.

Problems solved by technology

However, it would be highly advantageous to inexpensively and permanently apply RFID to products such that the identification does not represent an aesthetically objectionable configuration and is tamper proof.
Simply adhering the RFID by adhesive means or applying same to a label would clearly not be entirely satisfactory.

Embodiment Construction

[0020] In accordance with the present invention one could form the chip as part of a product, as a container, during the injection molding or blow molding operation by placing the chip in the mold and forming the article with the chip integrally connected thereto in the molding process. The chip, with also possibly the antenna and also possibly a battery, could be applied on various places on the article as desired, as on the base of a container or on a side wall where it would be covered by a label and therefore not be visible. The chip could also if desired be placed on the neck of a container. If the frequency is difficult to read through the liquid contents of a container, application on the neck can obviate this difficulty. The chip, antenna and possibly a battery would become a permanent and integral part of the article in the molding process. The chip and antenna would desirably be mounted on a substrate as a plastic film or other desirable substrate, and integrally applied i...

Abstract

Improved plastic article having an integral radio frequency identification (RFID) as an integral, permanent part of the article. The RFID can be molded onto an article; as a memory chip-antenna combination molded onto a desired location on an article.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is based on provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 506,750, filed Sep. 30, 2003.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Currently containers, such as hollow plastic containers, and the like are provided with bar codes to track inventory and to identify inventory and to identify products at point of sale. It would be highly desirable to provide a more efficient system for this purpose as well as for other purposes where-tracking and / or identification are desirable. [0003] Radio frequency identification (RFID) may be effectively used for this purpose. It involves the use of a small computer or memory chip that may uniquely identify an item when read by a scanner. Thus, using RFID one may simply and conveniently, for example, locate and track items in stockrooms and in stores, minimize backroom storage of merchandise, accurately identify returned merchandise, allow customers to check out by simply scanning the carts, and facilitat...
