DISPOSABLE RFID RACE BIB TIMING DEVICE

摘要

A disposable race bib timing device is provided including a thin, flexible planar sheet member having a front surface for displaying information, and a rear surface. An RFID timing tag is provided on the rear surface of the flexible planar bib. A thermal and moisture resistant layer of material is provided over the exposed outer surface the RFID tag to prevent moisture and heat from the athlete from coming into contact with the RFID tag and interfering with the ability of the tag to communicate with the antenna of a corresponding timing system. A further waterproof layer of material may be positioned between the RFID tag and the race bib to prevent moisture from soaking through the bib into the RFID tag. A laminate material may be provided to cover the entire surface.
