Patent ID: 8510977

Claim:
A composite magnetic tag, comprising: two magnetic outer panels, consisting of a first outer panel and a second outer panel; a central ferromagnetic plate; wherein each of the magnetic outer panels has a magnetic interior side and a concave exterior side, which contains one or more indicia in the form of graphic designs, photographs and/or alphanumeric characters; wherein the central ferromagnetic plate is a thin plate made of ferromagnetic metal, which substantially conforms to the size and shape of the two magnetic outer panels; wherein each of the two magnetic outer panels attaches by its magnetic interior side to either face of the central ferromagnetic plate, thereby assembling a composite tag, in which the central ferromagnetic plate is sandwiched between the two magnetic outer panels, such that the indicia on the exterior sides of the magnetic outer panels are visible; and wherein the first outer panel has a circular aperture which aligns cooperatively with a corresponding aperture of the second outer panel and a corresponding aperture of the central ferromagnetic plate, such that a composite aperture is formed when the composite tag is assembled, and such that the assembled composite tag can be attached to one or more items by a connective means inserted through the composite aperture.
