Benefits of technology
[0009]As will be seen below, the invention includes an assembly incorporating components which allows a user to input vital information onto multiple sides of a blank card and then fold the card along a perforation before permanently sealing the card within a transparent plastic film enclosure. This plastic film enclosure sometimes referred to herein as a laminated enclosure, helps eliminate smudging of the written information, and provides a strong, durable and water resistant card.
Problems solved by technology
If the information contained on the card were smudged or otherwise inadvertently altered the car would be less useful.
However, Goeken discloses a transparent attachment which can only be used with and secured onto a separate, user provided identification card.

Abstract
A self-laminating assembly for providing information, such as emergency medical or contact information, or a temporary identification card, for general purposes. Medical data or contact information is entered on a card which is predisposed within the assembly. The card can then be covered with a transparent plastic sheet and folded in half, along a perforation in its center to permanently seal the card within the transparent plastic enclosure.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to an assembly for producing a laminated card, and more particularly to an invention which allows a user to record pertinent information onto a provided card, which can then be folded over to provide a front and rear side and then be instantly laminated. The invention is applicable, for example, for providing emergency medical information or quick reference contact information on a laminated card.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to a self-laminating, two-sided card which provides important information about its user. The assembly disclosed and claimed herein has particular, although not exclusive, application to providing information relating to critical health, medical and emergency contact information, or a temporary identification card, for general purposes.[0003]In a situation where a patient is unconscious or otherwise unable to communicate, a card with the patient's emergency medical inf...
