Standard card having an embedded mini chip card
First Claim
1. A standard card having a main body and a mini chip card bounded by a peripheral edge embedded in the main body, the mini chip card including an electronic module and being totally separated from the main body in certain areas by slots extending over a small part only of the peripheral edge relative to the total peripheral edge and connected with the main body by connecting areas along the remaining peripheral edge, the connecting areas consisting of largely severed sections of the main body extending along the remaining peripheral edge of the mini chip card.

Abstract
The invention relates to a standard card having an embedded mini chip card which is connected with the standard card body by connecting areas. The connecting areas are severed largely or completely and interrupted by small slots. The slots prevent stresses within the mini chip card, and the mini chip card can be easily separated from the standard card body.

- 1. A standard card having a main body and a mini chip card bounded by a peripheral edge embedded in the main body, the mini chip card including an electronic module and being totally separated from the main body in certain areas by slots extending over a small part only of the peripheral edge relative to the total peripheral edge and connected with the main body by connecting areas along the remaining peripheral edge, the connecting areas consisting of largely severed sections of the main body extending along the remaining peripheral edge of the mini chip card.
- 8. A standard card having a main body and a mini chip card bounded by a peripheral edge embedded in the main body, the mini chip card including an electronic module and being totally separated from the main body in certain areas by slots extending over a small part only of the peripheral edge relative to the total peripheral edge and connected with the main body by connecting areas along the remaining peripheral edge, the connecting areas comprising totally severed sections of the main body extending along the remaining peripheral edge of the mini chip card so as to leave the connecting areas compressively connected together in a press fit relationship.
- 12. A method for producing a standard card having a mini chip card embedded therein, the standard card including a main body having a thickness and the mini chip card being bounded by a peripheral edge in the main body, the mini chip card including an electronic module and being totally separated from the main body in certain areas by slots extending over a small part of the peripheral edge relative to the total peripheral edge and connected with the main body by connecting areas along the remaining peripheral edge, comprising largely severing the mini chip card from the main body along the connecting areas through the main body thickness so as to leave a relatively thin core of main body material and forming the slots by removal of main body material.
- 17. A method for producing a standard card having an mini chip card embedded therein, the standard card including a main body having a thickness and a mini chip card being bounded by a peripheral edge, the mini chip card including an electronic module and being totally separated from the main body in certain areas by slots extending over a small part of the peripheral edge relative to the total peripheral edge and connected with the main card body by connecting areas along the remaining peripheral edge, comprising severing the mini chip card from the main card body along the connecting areas without removal of main body material and forming the slots by removal of main body material while leaving the connecting areas compressively connected together in a press fit relationship.
