Abstract

The present invention is directed to a grommetless multi-layered industrial identification tag secured to equipment whereby the tag conveys data associated with the securing equipment, the tag including a laminate assembly including a raised data field; an assembly bed supporting said laminate assembly; a peripheral disc in communication with said assembly bed and encircling said laminate assembly; a conduit section extending through said assembly bed and presenting a grommetless entry portal, said conduit section being adapted for receipt of an anchor therethrough for securing said tag to the equipment; and said raised data field having a plurality of data identifiers providing operational data about the equipment.

Claims

1. A grommetless multi-layered industrial identification tag apparatus secured to equipment whereby said tag conveys data associated with the securing equipment, said tag comprising:

a laminate assembly including a raised data field;

an assembly bed supporting said laminate assembly which is secured to said assembly bed;

a peripheral disc in communication with said assembly bed and encircling said laminate assembly;

a conduit section extending through said assembly bed and presenting a grommetless entry portal, said conduit section being adapted for receipt of an anchor therethrough for securing said tag to the equipment; and

said raised data field having a plurality of data identifiers providing operational data about the equipment.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said peripheral disc extends along a pair of convex curved corners and a lower pair of concave curved corners encircling the raised data field.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said raised data field extends interiorly from said peripheral disc and vertically from said assembly bed.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said raised data field further comprises;

a indicia receptive surface in receipt of a plurality of indicia associated with said data identifiers; and

a lens layered above the indicia receptive surface.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said plurality of indicia includes an equipment identifier, a device data identifier and a system data identifier.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said plurality of indicia is organized in accordance with an alert notification system.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said alert notification system includes color coded data.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said alert notification system further comprises an equipment identifier, a device data identifier and a system data identifier being utilized to provide necessary data to system personnel about the equipment.

9. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said plurality of indicia is thermally printed onto the indicia receptive surface.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising an outer protective barrier.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said peripheral disc is seamless.

12. A grommetless multi-layered industrial identification tag apparatus secured to equipment whereby said tag conveys data associated with the securing equipment, said tag comprising:

a first laminate assembly including a first raised data field;

a second laminate assembly including a second raised data field;

an assembly bed spanning said first and said second laminate assemblies and secured to said first and second raised data fields;

a first peripheral disc in communication with said assembly bed and encircling said first laminate assembly;

a second peripheral disc in communication with said assembly bed and encircling said second laminate assembly;

a conduit section extending from said first laminate assembly to said second laminate assembly through said assembly bed and presenting a first and second grommetless entry portal, said conduit section being adapted for receipt of an anchor therethrough for securing said tag to the equipment; and

said first and second raised data field having a plurality of data identifiers providing operational data about the equipment.
