ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to printed documents and, more specifically, to an emergency identification card having user specified information that can be used by emergency personnel to aid the bearer of said card in the case where the bearer of the card is involved in an accident. The emergency identification card can be displayed on a garment sleeve, belt or headwear and can include a quickly detachable cover.
Normal documents carried by a person in a wallet or purse do not contain information that is essential in administering aid to accident victims. This is especially hazardous to users of high-risk conveyances such as motorcycles, bicycles, 4-wheel All Terrain Vehicles, snowmobiles, etc. where the victim has a higher potential of being disoriented or unconscious after an accident.
Additionally motorcycle, bicycle, 4-Wheel All Terrain Vehicle, etc. owners use their cycles more as a sport to travel the open or back roads than automobile owners traveling from point “A” to point “B”. Therefore motorcyclists, bicyclists, 4-Wheel All Terrain Vehicle owners, snowmobile owners, etc. have a tendency to spend more time driving and are more likely to be traveling great distances to join other riders for open air events which places them in a high risk category.
Furthermore the probability of being unconscious as a result of an accident increases with speed and terrain. Considering these things it becomes apparent that the aforementioned riders should carry some information that would help emergency personnel in administering aid to the accident victim and notifying loved ones as to the condition of the accident victim. This becomes especially important if there is a medical condition that must be considered in any medical treatment.
Therefore it is felt that a need exists for an emergency identification card that can be filled out by the bearer, or a third party, having identification of the bearer, contact information and medical information that can be used to aid the bearer in the event of an accident. The card may be manufactured of a PVC type plastic similar to a credit card with a means for electronically storing and retrieving data thereby allowing emergency service workers access to more detailed information than may be provided in the text on the card. The data may be stored on the card itself using bar codes or other such means or may be stored in a database with the card having a pin number that, when scanned, will access the database and all pertinent information entered therein. The user's physician can update any changes regarding the patient's needs. Not only can the database provide information about the user's physician such as telephone numbers and the like, but the physician may update the database when not available to provide the phone number for the physician on call for his cases so that medical information and contacts may always be up to date and readily available. The card should be placed in the users wallet so that it is the first visible ID when opened.
Additionally, the card (or copies thereof) can be externally attachable to clothing and/or equipment to be easily viewable to emergency personnel in providing the transfer of relevant information to emergency personnel especially medical information.
