    MARKING ELEMENT INCLUDING AN ELECTRONIC
    DESIGN
    BACKGROUND
    This invention relates to a marking element for labeling a textile product, said marking element comprising at least a first layer, a second layer and an electronic device for comprising readable electronically stored information, the first layer forming a first outer surface of the marking element and wherein the electronic device is on the first layer, at a location opposite the first outer surface, and the second layer is adhered to the first layer at the location of said location opposite the first outer surface, and the electronic device is embedded between the first layer and the second layer.
    Markers are used to mark textile products such as garments, sheets, towels, etc. In particular, they are used for the labeling of work clothes, uniforms, sheets and / or towels in hotels, hospitals, retirement homes, factories, companies, etc. These marking elements are usually expected to remain attached to a named textile product, even after several industrial and / or household washing cycles. Industrial washing cycles are washing cycles with a maximum temperature of approximately 95 ° C. Household washing cycles for garments often do not reach temperatures above 60 ° C. The term multiple wash cycles means more than 50 wash cycles.
    These textile products are usually washed in laundries. A laundry may be part of the company, the hospital, the hotel, etc. that owns the textile products, but in many cases external companies are used to wash the textile products. Marking elements are used to identify and trace the textile products. In the past, these markers usually consisted of a logo, a barcode, a name. These markers should all be read / scanned piece by piece so that
    2019/5557
    BE2019 / 5557 Identifying the textile products may take some time. To speed up identification and simplify traceability, many laundries now use marker elements that contain electronic devices. In fact, there are some laundries that use only marker elements that contain electronic devices. These electronic devices contain readable electronically stored information and may include, for example, a chip, such as an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Chip) chip, and electronic wiring connected to the chip so that the information stored in the chip can be read. Electronic devices speed up identification and tracking by eliminating the need to read / scan each marker element. Multiple markers can be read together. The investment in machines that can read the said electronic devices, the readers, is relatively large, but since laundries process many textile products in a year, this investment is profitable.
    It is not always interesting for the owners of the textile products, ie companies, hotels, hospitals, old people's homes, to invest in the aforementioned readers. Often the owners only have a barcode reader and / or a person manually sorts the washed textile products to ensure that the washed textile products get to the right destination. For this, the owners use marking elements including a logo, bar code, name, etc. This means that if the laundry uses marking elements with electronic devices, each textile product must contain two marking elements, which is neither comfortable for the user nor aesthetically pleasing. is. A further problem is the fact that not all laundries can read the electronic devices and that there are also different electronic devices that require different readers. This leads to problems if someone wants to change laundry or if someone wants to use multiple laundries.

    SUMMARY
    It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a marking element that can be easily read by different parties, for example, different laundries, the owners of the textile products comprising the marking elements, etc., and that does not require additional investments from the various parties.
    This object is achieved by providing a marking element for labeling a textile product, said marking element comprising at least a first layer, a second layer and an electronic device for comprising readable electronically stored information, the first layer having a first outer surface of the marking element and wherein the electronic device is on the first layer, at a location opposite the first outer surface, and wherein the second layer is adhered to the first layer at the location of said location opposite the first outer surface and wherein the electronic device is embedded between the first layer and the second layer, the first outer surface being printable by thermal transfer and / or digital printing, and the first outer surface being provided to form the visible side of the marking element as the marking element is attached to a textile product.
    This marking element comprises an electronic device for comprising readable electronically stored information. Thus, the parties having a reader that can read the said electronic device, for example the laundries, can easily identify the textile products comprising the said marking elements and thus ensure that the identification and tracing will not take too long . Because the first outer surface is printable by thermal transfer and / or is digitally printable, a barcode, logo, name, etc., can be printed on the first outer surface. The barcode, logo, name, etc., is then visible because the first outer surface forms the visible side of the marker, allowing the barcode, logo, name, etc., to be used to mark the textile product.
    2019/5557
    BE2019 / 5557. Parties unable to read the electronic devices can still identify the textile products. It is therefore not necessary to provide an additional marking element.
    Printing by thermal transfer can be abbreviated as TTR. Thermal transfer is very suitable for applying a barcode. The first and / or the second layer can be a one-layered layer, i.e. a layer comprising only one sublayer. The first and / or the second layer can be a multilayer layer, i.e. a layer comprising two or more sublayers. The first and / or the second layer can also comprise additional elements, such as, for example, a reinforcing fabric to improve the mechanical strength of the marking element. The electronic device is embedded between the first layer and the second layer and is thus protected by these layers, making the marking element resistant to one or more domestic and / or industrial washing cycles.
    The electronic device preferably includes a chip, such as an RFID chip. The chip can be an active chip, a semi-active chip or a passive chip. Active chips include an energy source, such as a battery, and can operate more than 100 meters from their readers. For markers, active chips are less interesting because the energy source cannot be replaced without damage to the marker if it no longer works, since the chip is embedded between the first layer and the second layer of the marker. In addition, it is not necessary for the chip to operate at relatively great distances from the reader. Passive chips use the reader's energy. For this purpose, the electronic device can be provided with an electronic circuit / electrical wiring, which is connected to the chip so that energy can be conducted from the reader to the chip. Since passive chips use the reader's power, problems from a faulty internal power source will not occur.
    The electronic device is located on the first layer, in a location opposite the first outer surface and the second layer is at the location of said location
    2019/5557
    BE2019 / 5557 opposite the first outer surface, adhered to the first layer. The different layers are made during the production of the marking element. For example, one can make a sublayer of the first layer and then apply a sublayer of the second layer to said sublayer of the first layer. It is also possible to make a sublayer of the second layer and then apply a sublayer of the first layer to said sublayer of the second layer. During the manufacture of the marking element, the various sub-layers here connect to each other, so that these sub-layers are somewhat intertwined at the level of the attachment of the sub-layers, so that the outer surfaces of the sub-layers cannot be said at the level of their attachment. However, it is possible to refer to the location opposite the first outer surface. Thus, during production, the first layer may have a second outer surface facing the first outer surface, the electronic device then being applied to said second outer surface and the second layer adhered to said second outer surface. As a result, the electronic device is located on the first layer at a location opposite the first outer surface and the second layer is bonded to the first layer at the location of said location opposite the first outer surface.
    In a preferred embodiment, the first layer comprises one or more sub-layers, at least a first sub-layer of the one or more sub-layers comprising a polyurethane, preferably a thermosetting polyurethane, and the first sub-layer comprising said first outer surface. A marking element with a polyurethane sublayer can be easily manufactured by coating this sublayer. The coating can be performed using a solvent and / or water, or the coating can be performed without adding water or a solvent. It is also easy to make a sublayer with polyurethane, this sublayer being printable by thermal transfer and / or digitally printable. Preferably, the polyurethane is a thermosetting polyurethane. A thermoset is a polymer that cannot be melted or reformed and is therefore a durable polymer. A first sublayer comprising one called
    2019/5557
    BE2019 / 5557 thermosetting polyurethane thus forms a durable sub-layer that will not deteriorate during domestic and industrial washes. If the marking element is to be attached to a textile product by applying heat and pressure, the first sublayer will also not change, melt or deteriorate when the element is attached. The thermosetting polyurethane preferably has a decomposition temperature above 205 ° C, more preferably above 210 ° C, even more preferably above 220 ° C. For example, the first layer may comprise only said first sublayer, the electronic device then being on said first sublayer. If the first sublayer contains multiple sublayers, the electronic device is not on the first sublayer.
    In an alternative embodiment, the first layer comprises one or more sub-layers, wherein at least a first sub-layer of the one or more sub-layers comprises a thermoset, which is not thermosetting polyurethane, and the first sub-layer comprises said first outer surface.
    Preferably, the second layer comprises one or more sub-layers, one sub-layer of the one or more sub-layers being an adhesive sub-layer for attachment to the marking element by heat and pressure. Such a marking element can be easily attached to a textile product and can withstand multiple domestic and industrial washing cycles. The attachment of a said marking element can also be described as the application of the marking element to the textile product. This application is usually carried out under standard conditions. Standard conditions can for instance be: a temperature between 150 ° C and 205 ° C, a pressure between 3 and 5 bar and a duration of 8 to 15 seconds. Some markers can also be applied using an iron so that the application is done at temperatures below 200 ° C and at lower pressures. The second layer can only contain said adhesive sublayer, but the second sublayer can contain one or more sublayers in addition to the adhesive sublayer.
    2019/5557
    BE2019 / 5557
    Preferably, the adhesive sublayer comprises a thermoplastic polyurethane.
    The polyurethane can be a polyester-based polyurethane. Such urethanes are very suitable for attachment to a textile product. At least part of the thermoplastic polyurethane of the adhesive layer will liquefy under the influence of heat. By means of pressure, said liquefied thermoplastic polyurethane will be partially pressed into the textile product. The thermoplastic urethane will then cure again during cooling, with the result that the marking element is attached to the textile product. An application machine can be used for said mounting. Such an application machine will for instance exert a pressure between 3 and 5 bar and apply a temperature between 190 ° C and 205 ° C for at least 10 seconds. For certain marking elements, sufficient heat and pressure can also be applied by ironing.
    In a very preferred embodiment, the second layer comprises at least two sub-layers, namely said adhesive sub-layer and a protective sub-layer, the protective sub-layer being located between the first layer and the adhesive sub-layer and adhered to the first layer at the level of the said location opposite the first outer surface, and the electronic device is substantially embedded between the first layer and the protective sublayer. With the help of a protective sublayer, the electronic device is well protected against external influences, so that the electronic device is well protected against water, detergents, etc. during washing of the textile product to which the marking element is attached.
    Furthermore, the protective sublayer preferably comprises a polyurethane, preferably a thermosetting polyurethane. A thermoset is a polymer that cannot be melted or reformed and is therefore a durable polymer. The protective sublayer containing said thermoset thus forms a durable sublayer which will not deteriorate by domestic and industrial washing nor change, melt or deteriorate during the attachment of the marker to the textile product when said marker is
    2019/5557
    BE2019 / 5557 attached using heat and pressure. The electronic device is thus very well protected.
    Preferably, the thickness of the protective sublayer is greater than the corresponding dimensions of the electronic device, so that the electronic device is completely enclosed by the first layer and the protective sublayer.
    Furthermore, in a further alternative embodiment, the protective sublayer comprises a thermoset that is not a thermoset polyurethane.
    In another alternative embodiment, the second layer comprises only one sublayer, a protective sublayer, the protective sublayer preferably comprising a polyurethane, more preferably a thermosetting polyurethane.
    In a preferred embodiment, the electronic device comprises a chip and at least one conductive element connected to the chip. A chip has a limited volume and can therefore be well embedded between the first layer and the second layer. Moreover, the thickness of the marking element can be kept sufficiently small here, so that a person who wears a textile product to which a said marking element is attached is not hindered by the marking element. A passive chip can be used with the help of a conductive element, so that the life of the chip is not limited by an energy source, such as a battery. The conductive element is preferably located on the first layer, at said location opposite the first outer surface. The chip may also be on the first layer at said location opposite the first outer surface or the chip may be on the at least one conductive element.
    Preferably, the chip is an RFID chip. RFID chips use electromagnetic fields so that the RFID chip can be easily read even if it is embedded between the first layer and the second layer. RFID readers are also generally available.
    2019/5557
    BE2019 / 5557
    Also preferably further, the at least one conductive element comprises conductive ink. For example, the conductive element can be a conductive circuit consisting of conductive ink. Conductive ink can be applied very thinly so that the conductive element does not take up much volume. Conductive ink can also be easily applied to a surface compatible with conductive ink, for example, by printing the conductive ink. Preferably, said conductive ink is printed on the first layer at said location opposite the first outer surface.
    In a specific embodiment, the second layer comprises a pressure sensitive sublayer, the pressure sensitive sublayer forming a second outer surface of the marker. Using a pressure sensitive sublayer forming the second outer surface of the marking element, the marking element can easily be positioned relative to the textile product to which the marking element is to be attached. This is done by placing the second outer surface on the surface of the textile product. In this embodiment, the second layer may comprise said adhesive sublayer, said adhesive sublayer being between the pressure sensitive sublayer and the first layer, preferably between the pressure sensitive sublayer and said protective sublayer, if any. The second outer surface may be attached to a protective film to protect the pressure sensitive sublayer before the marking element is attached to a textile product.
    In a specific embodiment, the first layer comprises a reinforcement fabric, said reinforcement fabric being spaced from the first outer surface. This reinforcement fabric provides additional mechanical strength and durability to the marking element. This marking element is therefore very suitable for use in industrial washing cycles and is also very suitable for attachment to heavy-duty textile products, such as in construction, the chemical and metal industry, etc. Examples of reinforcement fabrics are a knitting, such as a warp knit, a non -woven, a net, a mesh, a web etc. This reinforcement fabric
    2019/5557
    BE2019 / 5557 can be a porous fabric with a thickness of up to 1000 μm, so that one or both of the surrounding sub-layers extend at least partially through the fabric, so that the said sub-layers are in direct contact with each other and can adhere directly, so that the marking element becomes a marker, the different parts / layers of which cannot easily come off during use of the marker. The reinforcing fabric preferably has a thickness of at most 500 μm, even more preferably of at most 200 μm. Due to the porosity and the limited thickness of the reinforcement fabric, heat can be easily transferred through the fabric. If such a marking element can be attached to a textile product using heat and pressure, good heat transfer is important. Preferably, at least one of the above sublayers extends completely through the fabric. This ensures a very good adhesion between these sublayers. This marking element can therefore withstand many industrial washing cycles.
    Further preferably, the first layer comprises at least said first sublayer and a second sublayer, the reinforcing fabric at least partially forming a partition between the first sublayer and the second sublayer. Here, the reinforcement fabric is at least partially located between the first layer and the second sublayer. The reinforcement fabric is preferably an open structure that allows the first sublayer and the second sublayer to come into direct contact to create a strong bond between the first sublayer and the second sublayer. Here, the reinforcing fabric only partially separates the first sublayer from the second sublayer, so that the first sublayer and the second sublayer are not completely separated from each other by the reinforcing fabric. Preferably, the thickness of the reinforcing fabric is limited and at most 1000 μm. There are several ways to attach the marking element to the textile product. If heat and pressure are used, it is possible to choose to apply heat only to the top of the marker, ie on the first layer, or to choose heat on the first layer of the marker and on the bottom of the textile product. Like heat only on the first layer
    2019/5557
    BE2019 / 5557 is applied, it is advantageous if the reinforcing fabric has an open structure and / or is a thin element, so that the heat is transferred quickly.
    Still more preferably, the second sublayer comprises a polyurethane, preferably a thermosetting polyurethane.
    Also further preferably, the first layer comprises at least a third sublayer, said third sublayer being an adhesive sublayer, said third sublayer being substantially located between said first sublayer and the reinforcement fabric. With the aid of the adhesive sublayer, the reinforcement fabric is well attached to the first sublayer. The marker may also have a fourth sublayer, which is also an adhesive sublayer, said fourth sublayer being mainly between said second sublayer and the reinforcement fabric.
    In an alternative embodiment, wherein the marking element comprises a said reinforcing fabric, the reinforcing fabric at least partially forms said location opposite the first outer surface and the electronic device is located on the reinforcing fabric. Here, the reinforcing surface at least partially forms a surface of the first layer opposite the first outer surface. The reinforcing fabric is hereby compatible with the electronic device. To render the reinforcing fabric compatible, the reinforcing fabric could have been calendered.
