Spool for windable materials

Abstract

Spool for windable materials, in particular for the winding on of cigarette or filter paper, at which a data carrier, preferably in the form of a chip, is arranged, the data carrier ( 2 ), which is developed for the contactless transfer of data ( 6, 7 ) specifying the spool ( 1 ) and/or the wound-on material ( 3 ) being arranged at least partly in the wall ( 11 ) of the preferably hollow-cylindrical spool ( 1 ).

1 . Spool for windable materials, in particular for the winding on of cigarette or filter paper, at which a data carrier, preferably in the form of a chip, is arranged, characterized in that that the data carrier ( 2 ), which is developed for the contactless transfer of data ( 6 ,  7 ) specifying the spool ( 1 ) and/or the wound-on material ( 3 ), is arranged at least partly in the wall ( 11 ) of the preferably hollow-cylindrical spool ( 1 ).  
     
     
         2 . Spool according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the wall ( 11 ) of the spool ( 1 ) has a preferably prefabricated recess ( 12 ), the data carrier ( 2 ) being arranged in this recess.  
     
     
         3 . Spool according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the data carrier ( 2 ) is enclosed on all sides by the material of the spool ( 1 ).  
     
     
         4 . Spool according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the spool ( 1 ) is developed in several parts, at least one part ( 1 ′) of the spool having a recess ( 12 ′) which is sealed by a second part ( 1 ) of the spool accompanied by development of a cavity ( 18 ) in which the data carrier ( 2 ) is arranged.  
     
     
         5 . Spool according to one of  claims 1  to  4 , characterized in that the spool ( 1 ) is formed from plastic material, preferably polystyrene.  
     
     
         6 . Spool according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the data carrier ( 2 ) is cast into the wall ( 11 ) of the spool ( 1 ).  
     
     
         7 . Spool according to  claims 1  to  6 , characterized in that the data carrier ( 2 ) contains preferably encoded spool-specific data ( 6 ) and/or material-specific data ( 7 ), for example an unmistakable ID number.  
     
     
         8 . Spool according to one of  claims 1  to  7 , characterized in that the data carrier ( 2 ) has a printed, wound or etched antenna ( 5 ).  
     
     
         9 . Spool for windable materials, in particular for the winding on of cigarette or filter paper, at which a data carrier, preferably in the form of a chip, is arranged, in particular according to one of  claims 1  to  8 , characterized by an antenna ( 5 ) guided round in the form of a ring, preferably lying outside, at the spool ( 1 ).  
     
     
         10 . Spool according to  claim 9 , characterized in that the antenna ( 5 ) is arranged in a groove ( 12 ) running round at the spool ( 1 ).  
     
     
         11 . Handling system for spools, in particular according to one of  claims 1  to  10 , the handling system comprising a transmission/reception unit for the reception of the data stored on the data carrier or for the description of the data carrier, characterized in that the transmission/reception unit ( 8 ) is developed for the activation of the data carrier ( 2 ).  
     
     
         12 . Handling system according to  claim 11 , characterized in that the received data ( 6 ,  7 ) are transferred from the transmission/reception unit ( 8 ) over a data line ( 17 ) and/or wireless to a reading unit ( 9 ).  
     
     
         13 . Handling system according to  claim 11  or  12 , characterized in that the received data ( 6 ,  7 ) are transferred to a memory and/or processing apparatus ( 10 ).  
     
     
         14 . Handling system according to  claim 11 , characterized by a memory and/or processing apparatus ( 10 ) which is developed for the description of the data carrier ( 2 ) by means of the transmission/reception unit ( 8 ).  
     
     
         15 . Process for the handling of spools with a data carrier which is developed for the contactless transfer of data specifying the spool and/or the wound-on material and a transmission/reception unit for the activation of the data carrier, in particular according to one of  claims 1  to  14 , characterized in that the transmission/reception unit ( 8 ) for the activation of the data carrier ( 2 ) is introduced into the hollow-cylindrical spool ( 1 ).
