IDENTIFICATION DEVICE HAVING REUSABLE TRANSPONDER

摘要

A radio frequency identification device includes an attachment element (12) which is maintained in operative relationship with an object or individual by a securement element (14). The attachment element (14) is disposable and the securement element (14) is easily separable therefrom for reuse, the securement element (14) including a radio frequency identification circuit (30) which can be reused after the attachment element (12) has been disposed of. One form of the radio frequency identification device is an identification wristband (10) which incorporates attachment element (12) and securement element (14) for the attachment element (12), the securement element (14) incorporating an RFID such as a chip (30) which is removed from operative relationship with the attachment element (12) when the securement element (14) is removed to permit reuse of the securement element (14) and chip (30).
