HYBRID CONSTRUCTION PAYMENT CARD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18545609 titled 'HYBRID CONSTRUCTION PAYMENT CARD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes cards with a hybrid construction, including a biodegradable portion. The card body has a top surface and a bottom surface meeting at a peripheral edge, with a first portion secured to a second portion. The top surface spans both portions, while the bottom surface is entirely formed of the second portion. A chip is secured to the first portion, and the second portion is made of a biodegradable material. The first portion and a recyclable portion meet at a frangible junction on the top surface.

  • Card with hybrid construction
  • Biodegradable portion in the card body
  • Chip secured to the card body
  • Frangible junction between recyclable and biodegradable portions

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in the production of environmentally friendly cards, such as credit cards, identification cards, or access cards.

Problems Solved

Reduces environmental impact by incorporating biodegradable materials in card production. Provides a solution for creating cards with a combination of recyclable and biodegradable components.

Benefits

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to the use of biodegradable materials in card production, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the frangible junction affect the card's durability and longevity?

The frangible junction is mentioned as a point where the recyclable and biodegradable portions meet. It is unclear how this junction impacts the overall durability and longevity of the card.

What specific biodegradable materials are used in the second portion of the card body?

The patent application mentions that the second portion of the card body is made of a biodegradable material, but it does not specify the exact materials used. Further information on the specific biodegradable materials would be helpful in understanding the environmental impact and performance of the card.


Original Abstract Submitted

Cards having a hybrid construction including a biodegradable portion and related methods are disclosed. A card can include a card body having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, the top and bottom surfaces meeting at a peripheral edge of the card body; and a first portion secured to a second portion such that the top surface of the card body spans both the first and second portions and the bottom surface is formed entirely of the second portion. The card can further include a chip secured to the first portion of the card body; wherein the peripheral edge includes at least an insertion edge of the first portion; wherein the second portion of the card body comprises a biodegradable material; and wherein the first portion and a recyclable portion meet at a frangible junction on the top surface of the card body.
