Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to improving the reliability of a mag pouch type magnetic recording medium that can be issued over the counter.

Recently, instead of the PVC cash dispenser cards, oil cards, and credit cards that are mass-produced in factories, magnetic cards that can be issued in small quantities at stores and have a personal ID function by inserting photos, etc. have been developed. Mug pouches that can be used are attracting attention.

A mag pouch is made by preparing two transparent films made of vinyl chloride or polyester with heat-sensitive adhesive coated on one side, and forming a magnetic stripe on the opposite side of the film from the adhesive coated side by coating or hot stamping. Then, insert the necessary photos and printing paper between these two sheets of film, and press-mold using a small laminator at the store.
Cards are punched out into predetermined shapes.

Since mag pouches can be filled with different photos and printed paper, they are advantageous when issuing small quantities or as personal authentication cards.

However, the disadvantages of this mag pouch are that the thickness and surface smoothness of the loaded photos and printing paper vary, and because it is molded at the store, there is no possibility of contamination with foreign matter or deformation of the card. There is a risk that the reliability of the card's important functions, such as running within the card reader and writing and reading signals by the magnetic head, may be impaired due to the undulations and unevenness of the magnetic stripe.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the shortcomings of conventional mag pouches and provide a highly reliable mag pouch that can fully demonstrate magnetic stripe performance even though it is a card issued at a store. There is a particular thing.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the improved mug pouch according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view, and FIG. 2 shows a side view.

In the figure, 1 indicates a magnetic stripe, 2 a plastic film at least one of which is transparent, such as vinyl chloride or polyester, and 3 a hot melt adhesive. 4 is interleaf paper, and uses a rubber sheet or foamed plastic film having an appropriate thickness and elasticity. Then, this part is laminated and sealed in advance, leaving only the lower part unfinished so that it can be opened on both sides.

When issuing a card at a store, a photograph or printed paper 8 is required for this double-sided part as shown in Figure 2.
The magnetic card 7 as shown in FIG. 3 is completed by sandwiching the wafer and fusing it with hot melt adhesive using a hot press.

By inserting a cushioning rubber sheet or a foamed film into the magnetic stripe section of the mag pouch as an interleaving paper, the magnetic card can be inserted into the magnetic head 5 and pad roll 6 of the card reader as shown in FIG. When passing between the magnetic stripes, the magnetic stripe expands and contracts freely according to the pressure of the head, and the contact between the magnetic stripe and the head becomes close. Even if the card deforms to a certain extent, it is alleviated, and the reliability of signal recording and playback is significantly improved. Improve your skills.

The interleaving paper with cushioning properties to be charged may be various types of fibers, nonwoven paper (cloth), rubber sheets, styrene, urethane, plastic foam films made of polyvinyl chloride, and are sufficiently fused with the heat-sensitive adhesive.
Any material may be used as long as it does not lose its original cushioning properties during fusion processing.
