1. A token including an insert, said insert comprising:
- a one-piece rigid plate having a first face and a second face; and
a contactless identification device attached to said first face of said one-piece rigid plate and two protection layers obtained by injection of material, covering at least partially said first face of said one-piece rigid plate and the second face of said one-piece rigid plate, wherein said one-piece rigid plate includes at least one through-hole such that said layers are fastened together through said one-piece rigid plate by at least one bridge of material passing through said at least one through-hole and obtained by said injection of material.

Abstract
Token including a token body obtained by at least one injection of material around an insert including a contactless identification device attached to a rigid plate sandwiched between two layers of injected material, the rigid plate including at least one through-hole. The invention also concerns the method of manufacturing such a token, including placing the insert in a mold, injecting a plastic material around the insert to form at least a portion of the core of the token, and at least one injection of plastic material around the assembly formed by the insert and the portion of the core obtained after the first injection of plastic material.

10. A method of manufacturing a token including an insert, said method comprising:
-
making at least one injection of material around a one-piece rigid plate having a first face and a second face, said first face of which comprises a contactless identification device, said one-piece plate including at least one through-hole; placing said one-piece rigid plate in a mold; making a first injection of a material onto said first face of said one-piece rigid plate and onto the second face of said one-piece rigid plate to form, on each of said faces on both sides of said one-piece rigid plate, a layer of material, said layers being fastened together by at least one bridge formed by the injected material passing through said at least one hole, the resulting assembly constituting said insert; and making at least one supplementary injection of plastic material around said insert. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An apparatus for manufacturing a token that includes an insert obtained by at least one injection of material around a one-piece rigid plate, a first face of which includes a contactless identification device, said one-piece rigid plate including at least one through-hole, said apparatus comprising:
-
a) at least one of, a device and mechanism for placing said one-piece rigid plate in a mold; b) at least one of, a device and mechanism for making a first injection of a material onto said first face of said one-piece rigid plate and onto a second face of said one-piece rigid plate to form, on each of said faces on both sides of said plate, a layer of material, said layers being fastened together by at least one bridge formed by the injected material passing through said at least one hole, the resulting assembly constituting said insert; and c) at least one of, a device and mechanism for making a supplementary injection of plastic material around said insert. - View Dependent Claims (19)
