A device and method making the device. The device includes a flat body made of a plastic material. The flat body has at least two parallel faces and a cavity which opens to at least one of the at least two parallel faces. The cavity is adapted to receive an electronic identification device. At least one plug made of a plastic material is included. The at least one plug is adapted to be inserted into the cavity. The electronic identification is retained in the flat body when the at least one plug is inserted into the cavity. The method includes making the flat body, forming the cavity in the flat body, placing the electronic identification device in the cavity, inserting the at least one plug in the cavity, and fixing the at least one plug to the flat body.

Token with an electronic chip and methods for manufacturing the same

Method for pad-printing a substantially cylindrical chip having opposing faces and a side, the method comprising forming a first decoration, including a section for at least a portion of the side of the chip, radially deforming the section to form a second decoration, providing an ink plate with the second decoration, moving a pad coaxially into contact with the ink plate such that the second decoration transfers to the pad and moving the pad coaxially into contact with the chip such that the second decoration transfers to the side to print the section on the side, wherein a contraction coefficient of the radially deforming is determined, for a given straight-sided chip and a given pad, by marking a chip model using a positioning ink plate centered on an axis of the chip, the positioning ink plate bearing a pattern comprising closely-spaced concentric circles.

Method for marking a gambling chip by pad printing

Token including a plastic cover having an external surface and a base engaging surface. A plastic base has an external surface and a cover engaging surface, the base being attached to the cover. An axial spacing projection maintains a space between the base and the cover, the axial spacing projection being disposed on the cover engaging surface of the base and including a first height. The axial spacing projection further includes one of a continuous ring and a discontinuous ring. A closure ring disposed on the base engaging surface of the cover comprises one of a continuous ring and a discontinuous ring. A peripheral annular region includes a space having a second height and is disposed adjacent an edge of the token, the peripheral annular region being defined by the axial spacing projection. The first height is approximately equal to the second height. An electronic device includes an electronic circuit which includes one of a memory containing identification, a coding information, and a transmitter-receiver having a peripheral antenna. An internal central region includes a receptacle for receiving the electronic device, the internal central region being defined by the axial spacing projection. A plastic jointing material is disposed in the peripheral annular region, wherein the plastic jointing secures the base to the cover. The closure ring includes an engaging diameter which is smaller than a diameter of the axial spacing projection such that the closure ring and the axial spacing projection engage and axially overlap one another when the cover is fixed to the base.
