Description

  The present invention relates to a sleeve for a disposable cup that is held in a state of being wound around an outer surface of a disposable cup and that imparts various functions such as a heat insulating function to the disposable cup.

  Conventionally, disposable cups such as paper cups and plastic cups have been used as beverage containers for providing beverages such as coffee, tea, and juice. In addition, among disposable cups, a printed layer made of a predetermined pattern, logo, or the like may be provided on the surface of the outer peripheral surface of the paper cup, particularly for the purpose of design and advertisement. There exists an invention of patent document 1 as invention which prints on the surface of the outer peripheral surface of a paper container similar to such a paper cup.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a heat insulating and heat insulating container including a paper container and a heat insulating and heat insulating sheet provided in a sleeve shape on the outer peripheral surface of the container. The heat insulating and heat insulating sheet is composed of a paper base material and a water-soluble polymer resin foam layer having a foaming ratio of 3 times or more and a thickness of 1 mm or more, which is adhered to one surface of the base material. At least one part of the water-soluble polymer resin foam layer of the sheet and the outer peripheral surface of the paper container is in close contact. (Refer to the summary of Patent Document 1 above.)

  This heat insulating and heat-insulating container has a sufficient heat insulating property comparable to a container made of expanded polystyrene resin even though it is a paper container, and the surface of the container can be printed for the purpose of design and beauty. Furthermore, it is said that the container is also excellent in moldability (paragraph 0008).

JP 2000-271011 A

  However, the heat insulation and heat insulation container described in Patent Document 1 merely discloses that printing is performed for the purpose of imparting designability or the like to the surface of the outer peripheral surface. Although certain effects such as improvement of the quality can be expected, it is difficult to expect further effects. Here, the present inventor has paid attention to the fact that a printing technique called scratch printing is used in the printing technical field, which is a technical field that is completely different from the technical field of disposable cups. This scratch printing is typically used in a scratch lot, and is a predetermined portion (hereinafter, referred to as “printing substrate”) of the surface of a printing base material (hereinafter referred to as “printing substrate”) that is formed into a paper sheet. "Concealment site"), lottery winning information (for example, characters such as "win" or "miss") and winning types (for example, "1st class", "2nd class", "sorry award", etc.) ) Etc. using a normal ink by a predetermined printing technique (typically offset printing), and a predetermined printing technique (typically Printing is performed by screen printing), and the concealed portion is concealed by the concealing layer using the special ink. In addition to the characters, a predetermined pattern or symbol may be printed on the concealed part. In addition, a release layer made of a transparent varnish is usually provided with a predetermined printing technique (typically between the normal printing layer with the normal printing ink and the concealing layer with the special ink at the concealment site of the hit information and the type of hit. Is printed by offset printing), and a concealing layer is usually disposed on the printing layer through the peeling layer so as to be peelable. Then, the user who purchased or obtained the scratch lot (by a campaign, etc.) scrapes the scratch concealment layer with a coin or a nail, so that the concealed portion is exposed and visible from the outside. The winning information and the winning type of the concealed part can be confirmed. In addition, the printing color (usually gray) with the normal ink used for printing of the concealment site and the type of printing is the same color or the approximate color of the printing color of the concealing layer (usually silver) with the special ink. The effect of concealing the normal printing part by the layer is ensured. Further, the back surface of the sheet-like base material is printed in black so that the characters and the like of the concealment portion cannot be seen through the back surface side.

  Then, the present inventor uses a scratch information such as the above-mentioned scratch printing at a predetermined portion of the outer peripheral surface of the disposable cup as described above (hereinafter referred to as a “hiding information portion”). ) Will increase the palatability and entertainment effects of disposable cups, and in particular, it is possible to propose a mode of use that has a great advertising effect especially for businesses that provide beverages with disposable cups. The idea of the present invention was obtained. On the other hand, disposable cups are stored and transported in a vertically fitted state (that is, in the axial direction of the disposable cup) in order to save storage space during storage and transport. The inner peripheral surface of the lower disposable cup comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the upper disposable cup. Therefore, when scratch printing is performed on the outer peripheral surface of the disposable cup, the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the disposable cup stacked vertically are rubbed with each other, especially during transportation, and the outer peripheral surface of the upper disposable cup is rubbed by friction. There is a possibility that the concealing layer, which is a scratch printing layer, may be peeled off (or even partially). In this case, disposable cups contain beverages as their contents. According to the Food Sanitation Law (especially “Chapter 3 Appliances and Containers and Packaging”), “Equipment and containers and packaging used in business are clean and sanitary. (Article 15) and "Contact equipment, containers or packaging or food or additives that may contain or adhere to toxic or harmful substances. Appliances or containers and packaging that may harm human health by adversely affecting them are manufactured, imported, or used for business purposes. ”(Article 16). As mentioned above, the special ink on the concealing layer of the scratch printing is peeled off even in a small amount, and the strip of the special ink is removed from the disposable cup ( Situation or remain or adhere to direct contact with) the inner peripheral surface the surface of the charge, it is necessary to reliably prevented.

  Accordingly, the present inventors is not a disposable cup itself, the results of extensive research for articles used in association with the disposable cups, paper sleeve ( "coffee mounted in a fitted state on the outer circumferential surface of the disposable cup "Sleeve", also called "cup sleeve"). In addition, this paper sleeve is used for the disposable cup so that the temperature of the hot beverage is not directly applied to the fingers of the drinker holding the disposable cup when the beverage as the contents of the disposable cup is a hot beverage such as hot coffee. It is wound around the outer periphery or fitted and fitted. By this paper sleeve, it is possible to suppress or block the heat of the hot beverage inside the disposable cup from being transmitted to the fingers of the drinker. Alternatively, the paper sleeve can be used so that the cold drink is not directly applied to the fingers of the drinker holding the disposable cup even when the beverage as the contents of the disposable cup is a cold drink such as iced coffee. The outer peripheral surface of the disposable cup is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the disposable cup so that water droplets generated by condensation do not adhere to the fingers of the drinker. Thus, paper sleeve, to exert its function is mounted to the disposable paper cups in retrofitted when needed, rather than disposable cup itself, and the scratch lottery provided by scratching printed on paper sleeve, the paper sleeve the if mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the disposable paper cups in retrofitting, as in the case of providing a scratch lotteries by scratching printed disposable paper cups themselves, in that it can exhibit a unique effect of the scratch lottery, the present invention The person came up with the idea. At the same time, in this case, (provided the paper sleeve) inside the disposable cup in it does not occur a situation release strip of special ink scratch printing or remaining or deposited, the present inventors focused did. Then, the present inventor has earnestly researched and developed a technique for scratch printing on such a paper sleeve, and has come up with the disposable cup sleeve according to the present invention. Furthermore, the present inventor has found that by intensive studies of various conventional technical ideas by scratching the print in relation to the sleeve for disposable cups and disposable cups, specific to the disposable cup and / or disposable cup sleeve characteristics or attributes The invention of a sleeve for a disposable cup that can exhibit a creative effect in relation to the above and a synergistic effect based on these relations has also been conceived.

  Furthermore, as in the case of scratch printing, there is a printing technique called cellophane tape-off printing as a printing technique in which information such as a lottery is provided in a concealed state on a printing substrate by utilizing concealment with a special ink such as silver ink. This cellophane tape-off printing technology uses a predetermined printing technique (typical) to print characters (such as winning lottery information, winning type, or answer to quizzes, etc.) on the concealed part of the printing substrate using normal ink. In general, offset printing is used to form a normal printing layer, and a release layer made of a transparent varnish is formed on the normal printing layer in the same manner as scratch printing, typically by a predetermined printing technique (typically Is printed by gravure printing, and a concealing layer made of special ink such as silver ink is provided on the release layer so as to be peeled off by a predetermined printing technique (typically gravure printing). The present inventor can obtain the same specific effect as when a lottery or the like is provided on a disposable cup sleeve by scratch printing or by providing a lottery or the like on the disposable cup sleeve by scratch printing. Pay attention. Then, the present inventor, like these scratch printing and cellophane tape off printing, can conceal a predetermined normal printing portion printed on the printing substrate with a concealing layer and can remove the concealing layer when necessary. (Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it is referred to as “hidden printing”) and the invention of the sleeve for the disposable cup according to the present application has been completed.

  Therefore, the present invention can exhibit the specific effects of the concealment information unit such as scratch lots as well as the case where a special concealment information unit such as scratch lots by concealment printing is provided in the disposable paper cup itself, It is an object of the present invention to provide a sleeve for a disposable cup that does not cause a situation in which a strip of special ink that forms a concealing layer for scratch printing or the like adheres or remains inside the disposable cup.

  In addition, the present invention exhibits the original effect of the concealment information unit in relation to the characteristic or attribute unique to the disposable cup and / or the sleeve for the disposable cup, and the effect of the concealment information unit and the disposable cup and / or An object is to provide a sleeve for a disposable cup that can exhibit a synergistic effect with the effect of the sleeve for a disposable cup.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the sleeve 10 is formed from a raw material sheet of a predetermined material (typically a paper material) having a predetermined layer structure (for example, a layer structure similar to the corrugated cardboard), for example. Yes. In the first embodiment, the sleeve 10 has a two-layer structure in which a corrugated sheet-shaped inner layer 11 and a flat sheet-shaped outer layer 12 are overlapped and joined. The surface of the outer layer 12 (that is, the outer surface of the sleeve 10) is a smooth surface, and desired printing can be performed on the surface by a predetermined printing technique. That is, in Embodiment 1, the outer layer 12 in the winding part 14 of the sleeve 10 constitutes a printing base material layer having a smooth outer surface, and is formed on the surface of the outer layer 12 as the printing base material layer. A printing section (consisting of characters, symbols, figures, patterns, etc.) having a desired form can be formed using a predetermined printing technique (for example, screen printing, offset printing, special printing for scratch printing, etc.). Then, on the surface of the outer layer 12 of the winding part 14, a concealment information part 20 as a printing part is integrally formed by printing at a predetermined portion in the length direction (in the illustrated example, the central part in the length direction). Is formed.

[Hidden information section]
The concealment information unit 20 has a three-layer structure in which a print layer 21 as an inner layer, a release layer 22 as an intermediate layer, and a concealment layer 23 as an outer layer are sequentially stacked in the thickness direction. The printing layer 21 corresponds to a normal printing layer for conventional scratch printing or cellophane tape off printing. The release layer 22 corresponds to a release layer for conventional scratch printing or cellophane tape off printing. Further, the concealing portion 23 corresponds to a concealing layer for conventional scratch printing or cellophane tape off printing. In FIGS. 5 and 6, for convenience of explanation, the printed layer 21, the release layer 22, and the concealing layer 23 are drawn so as to have a visible thickness, but in reality, each layer is difficult to visually recognize. Formed as a layer of thickness.

[Information of concealment information section]
As shown in FIG. 3, in the first embodiment, the concealment information unit 20 is obtained by printing a predetermined information unit on the print layer 21. As the predetermined information unit, the first information unit 31 and A second information unit 32 is included. In the first embodiment, the information in the predetermined information part of the concealment information part 20 is composed of information on a lottery (hereinafter referred to as “lottery information”). Further, in the first embodiment, the concealment information unit 20 is not a single piece of information as lottery information, but is a complex piece of information related to a lottery, and a plurality of different types of content that are mutually related. Information (hereinafter referred to as “composite lottery information”) is provided in the print layer 21. Specifically, the first information unit 31 is information that constitutes one of the complex lottery information among the lottery information, and represents information indicating the rank, rank, type, or type of the lottery prize or prize ( Hereinafter, the “prize type information” is printed on the print layer 21. As such award type information, for example, the ranks of awards and prizes are expressed by letters from the top to the bottom, such as “A prize”, “B prize”, “C prize”, “D prize”. Things such as things, "1st class", "2nd class", "3rd class", "4th class", etc., which expresses the ranks of prizes and prizes numerically from top to bottom, "free tickets", "discounts""Vouchers" and "reward vouchers" include awards that express the types of awards and prizes in words, and symbols and figures that enable intuitive recognition of award type information consisting of these letters, numbers, and words Some of them are expressed in patterns. In the example of FIG. 3, the first information unit 31 uses, as lottery information, the ranks of prizes and prizes from the top to the bottom, such as “A prize”, “B prize”, “C prize”, and “D prize”. And award type information “A prize”.

  The second information unit 32 is information constituting another one of the lottery information among the lottery information, and is information for explaining the specific contents of the lottery prize or prize (hereinafter, “prize content information”). Is printed on the printing layer 21. As such award content information, for example, “1000 yen”, “500 yen” indicating the amount of money when the prize is a prize, or “mug”, “tray”, etc. Awards such as those that represent the specific contents of the prize (such as the name of the prize), “Drink free voucher”, “Lunch discount voucher”, “Large free voucher” There are some which show the specific contents of those tickets in the case of “privilege voucher”. On the other hand, in the first embodiment, the second information unit 32 does not directly print the above-described prize content information on the print layer 21 as it is (in letters, numbers, or words), but instead includes predetermined information including the prize content information. Is encoded in a manner that cannot be understood or read by direct visual recognition (that is, in such a way that the contents cannot be understood by reading them directly, such as letters, numbers, and words). A predetermined code is printed on the printing layer 21. Such codes include a one-dimensional code such as a bar code and a two-dimensional code, but it is preferable to use a two-dimensional code from the viewpoint of securing a larger amount of information.

[Code reading means]
On the other hand, the code of the second information in the second information section 32 can be read by a bar code scanner as a code reading means. Specifically, the code reading means can be realized by a barcode scanner application mounted on a mobile terminal device such as a smartphone or a tablet. In this case, although not shown, the mobile terminal device has a central processing unit (CPU), a storage device (ROM, RAM, internal storage), an input / output device (I / I) as hardware resources, as in a general computer device. O) and the like. The portable terminal device is a portable communication terminal device such as a smartphone or a tablet, which is indirectly connected via a telephone network or directly using a wireless LAN facility or the like without using a telephone network. It can be set as the communication terminal device which can be connected to. Alternatively, the portable terminal device may be any portable information terminal device including at least a code reading unit and a network communication unit, such as a handy scanner manufactured exclusively for reading a barcode or a two-dimensional code. It can also be constituted by a dedicated portable information terminal device.

[Usage form]
When the usage pattern of the sleeve 10 according to the first embodiment is briefly described, basically, a provider (for example, a restaurant or a convenience store) that provides contents such as beverages to users such as customers, When the contents such as beverages are accommodated in the disposable cup 1 and provided to a recipient (for example, a customer of a restaurant or a convenience store), when the contents are at a high temperature, the sleeve is attached to the disposable cup 1 as described above. At this time, the provider notifies the recipient that the lottery information unit 20 of the sleeve 10 can be used for lottery. For example, the provider notifies the recipient that the lottery information unit 20 of the sleeve 10 can be used for lottery by means of an outside notification means such as a leaflet or an in-store notification means such as a bulletin board. When the recipient participates in the lottery, the recipient peels off the concealment layer 23 of the concealment information unit 20 of the sleeve 10. For example, when the recipient peels off the concealment layer 23 of the concealment information unit 20 of his / her sleeve 10, the concealment information is peeled with a coin or the like when the concealment layer 23 is scratch printing, or with a cellophane tape when cellophane tape off printing is performed. The printed layer 21 of the section 20 exposes the lottery information to the outside through the transparent release layer 22 and is visible from the outside. In other words, this allows the first information unit 31 to visually confirm the award type information of the sleeve 10 held by the person to be provided by the person (hereinafter referred to as “readable information”). "). Therefore, the recipient can directly confirm the award type as a result of his / her lottery on the spot (that is, immediately) and visually. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, the first information unit 31 prints the letter “A prize” as the first information, and the first information unit 31 sends the information to the recipient. A state in which the award is “Award” can be immediately and directly confirmed.

  On the other hand, at this time, since the second information of the second information unit 32 is encoded by a predetermined encoding method using a predetermined code (two-dimensional code in the case of FIG. 3), the second information unit The second information of 32 is information that cannot be immediately or directly confirmed by the recipient, and is information that cannot be read or confirmed directly by the visual sense (hereinafter referred to as the following). "Unreadable information"). Therefore, the recipient obtains the second information provided as unreadable information on the sleeve 10 side as information (ie, readable information) that the recipient can directly read and confirm or understand visually. Therefore, it is necessary for the recipient to scan and read the code of the second information unit 32 by the code reading means. Specifically, when the recipient scans the code of the second information unit 32 of the sleeve 10 (that is, unreadable information) by, for example, the code reading unit of the mobile terminal device, the code of the second information unit The second information (encoded) is decoded, and the decoded second information is in a form that can be directly read by the recipient, such as characters or words (that is, as readable information). ) And displayed on a display as a display means of the portable terminal device of the recipient. Thereby, the recipient can acquire the award content information based on the second information of the second information unit 32 in an aspect that can be directly understood by visual recognition. The sleeve information processing system for executing various processes using the information of the concealment information section 20 of the sleeve 10 according to the first embodiment, such as the second information reading process and the award content information display process. This will be described in detail later.

[Third information section]
Here, in Embodiment 1, the concealment information unit 20 further includes a third information unit 33 in addition to the first information unit 31 and the second information unit 32 as the predetermined information unit. ing. The third information unit 33 is code information in which the information of the second information unit 32 is encoded with the award content information. Even if the second information unit is viewed, the content of the award content information is directly In order to confirm the contents of the information, it is necessary to scan the code of the second information unit 32 as described above. The third information is additionally printed. Note that the third information in the third information section 33 is composed of words that prompt the recipient to scan the code. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, “the award content scans the code!” It consists of the following words. As described above, the third information unit 33 is provided for the purpose of encouraging the recipient to scan the code, so that the recipient can determine the lottery information of the concealment information unit 20 based on notification information from the provider. In order to acquire the award content information, it may be omitted if it can be easily or reliably recognized that the code of the second information section 32 needs to be scanned.

[Production method]
Next, a preferred example of a method for manufacturing the sleeve 10 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In order to manufacture the sleeve 10, first, as shown in FIG. 7A, in the base paper cutting process, a base paper roll RB having a predetermined width is continuously fed in a fixed direction and cut at a constant interval in the feed direction. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, a flat sheet-like base paper sheet SB having the predetermined width dimension and a constant length dimension (for example, a width of 40 cm and a length of 80 cm) is manufactured. At this time, each of the base paper sheets SB has a predetermined plurality of predetermined cutting lines CL (see FIG. 7) of the surrounding shape corresponding to the outer contour of the sleeve 10, as indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. Eight in the example) are arranged side by side along the length direction of the base paper sheet SB. For convenience of explanation, a surrounding portion surrounded by each cutting line CL in the base paper sheet SB is referred to as a pre-printing sleeve 10A. Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, in the engaging portion forming step, the slit-like engaging portion 16 is formed by cutting at a predetermined position of each pre-printing sleeve 10A of each base paper sheet SA. The Next, as shown in FIG. 7C, in the information portion printing step, the concealment information portion 20 is formed by printing at a predetermined position of the pre-printing sleeve 10A drawn by each base paper sheet SA. As a result, a printed base paper sheet PB obtained by printing the concealment information portion 20 on the pre-printing sleeve 10A of the base paper sheet SA is obtained. In addition, for convenience of explanation, an encircled portion surrounded by each scheduled cutting line CL in the printed base paper sheet PB is referred to as a printed sleeve 10B. Next, in the cutting step, each printed sleeve 10B is cut from the printed base paper sheet PB along the planned cutting line CL by punching or the like. Thereby, as shown in FIG.7 (d), the sleeve 10 of Embodiment 1 can be obtained.

Thus, by printing the concealment information part 20 on the pre-printing sleeve 10A of the flat sheet-like base paper sheet SB, the concealment information part 20 is directly placed at a predetermined position corresponding to the sleeve 10 in the roll-like base paper roll RB. Compared with the case of printing, the concealment information unit 20 can be printed reliably, and printing mistakes can be prevented. That is, the present inventor has come up with the original technical idea of providing a concealment information unit 20 made of scratch printing or the like on a conventional disposable cup sleeve, while the concealment information unit 20 (especially scratch printing) on the sleeve 10. At the same time, as a result of intensive investigations on the technical idea of reliably forming (preventing printing errors due to special printing techniques such as cellophane tape off printing), the inventors have come up with the invention of the unique manufacturing method as described above. In other words, according to the knowledge of the present inventor, when the concealment information part 20 is printed directly at a predetermined position of the portion corresponding to the sleeve 10 in the roll-shaped base paper roll RB, the base paper roll RB is printed when the concealment information part 20 is printed. The concealment information section 20 is not printed well by the special printing technique because the printing surface of the paper is curved, and a printing error such as a printing omission portion may occur. By printing the concealment information section 20 on the pre-printing sleeve 10A after the RB is a flat sheet-like base paper sheet SB, such a printing mistake can be surely prevented. The engaging portion forming step may be performed after the information portion forming step, or may be performed simultaneously with the cutting step.

However, even if the lot ID is the same, the information processing system varies depending on the lot ID range. It is also possible to prepare web pages of URLs and present web pages of different contents for each range of different lottery IDs depending on the web pages of each URL.

[Characteristics of sleeve as retrofit article]
Here, the sleeve information processing system of the first embodiment basically associates a single store ID and store name with one lottery ID (that is, one sleeve 10 to which a certain lottery ID is assigned is one. In general, the above processing is configured assuming that the sleeve 10 of the same lot is provided to a single store. However, for example, an original store (hereinafter referred to as an “original supply destination”) to which a sleeve 10 of a certain lot ID is provided does not use the sleeve 10 of the lot ID (provided for a certain campaign) at all. If (in other words, none) is not used (for example, when the campaign is ended without using the sleeves 10), the sleeve 10 of the lot ID of the original store is left unused and other new Can be provided to stores with a long store ID (hereinafter referred to as “new provider”). For example, from the initial provision destination of store ID 01 (store name 01) in FIG. 11 to the new provision destinations, store ID 02 (store name 02), store ID 03 (store name 03),..., Store ID k (store name k) The sleeve 10 in use can be provided sequentially.

  In this case, the information processing system for sleeves uses an advertisement ID that associates the association of the advertisement ID with the award content ID with the store ID of the original offer destination for all lottery IDs belonging to the lot ID in the advertisement connection table T7. From the above, the sleeve 10 can be used in the same manner as in the case of a new article only by updating the advertisement ID so as to correspond to the store ID of the new provision destination. Information processing can be executed. In this case, the sleeve information processing system can update the correspondence of the store ID to the lot ID from the store ID of the original providing destination to the store ID of the new providing destination in the transaction table T5. Even if not, the same information processing is possible for the lottery of the sleeve 10. Further, even when the initial provision destination does not use the sleeve 10 in a certain range of a certain lot ID, the information processing system for the sleeve specifies the range by the lottery ID (uniquely assigned to the sleeve 10). Therefore, in the advertisement connection table T7, for all lottery IDs belonging to the non-use range of the lot ID, the association of the advertisement ID with the award content ID is made from the advertisement ID of the store ID of the original providing destination to the new providing destination. Only by updating to the advertisement ID of the store ID, the sleeve 10 can be used in the same manner as in the case of a new article, and the same information processing as described above can be executed on the sleeve 10.

  That is, in the information processing system using the sleeve of the present invention including the present embodiment (that is, the sleeve-based lottery system), the sleeve 10 is provided as a separate body from the disposable cup to be attached, and can be used in any disposable cup. Since it has the property of being attached later, and the disposable cup to be attached also has the property of being disposable, a lottery ID is given in advance for each sleeve 10 to impair the mass productivity of the sleeve 10. While the manufactured sleeve 10 is provided (typically on a lot-by-lot basis) to a particular provider who wishes to use the sleeve 10 for a particular campaign, and that particular provider is not used The sleeve 10 can be used for another campaign of the new provider by providing it to another new provider.Even in this case, according to the new provision destination, the data of the advertisement connection table T7 and the like is updated at any time by the sleeve information processing system, and completely customized to the use of the new provision destination in exactly the same manner. In this state, the sleeve 10 is attached to the disposable cup and a lottery system using the sleeve 10 is constructed, and a predetermined campaign desired by the new provider can be realized. In addition, paying attention to the fact that the sleeve 10 is a retrofit article, the sleeve information processing system updates the correspondence between the prize type ID and the prize content ID for the lottery ID in the winning information table T1, thereby the same sleeve 10 is updated. It is possible to assign an award type and award content different from the original award type and award content and / or an advertising content different from the initial advertisement content for the same lottery ID, and the relationship with the disposable cup Thus, it is possible to greatly increase the degree of freedom and the preference of the lottery with the sleeve 10 and to construct a flexible lottery system according to the campaign application.

[Lottery processing]
Using the sleeve information processing system configured as described above, the recipient of the sleeve 10 (such as a beverage drinker) is provided by himself / herself (wrapped around the outer periphery of a beverage container or the like). The concealment layer 23 is peeled off from the concealment information part 20 of the sleeve 10 using a coin or the like. Then, the recipient can visually recognize the first information part 31 and the second information part 32 printed on the print layer 21. At this time, the recipient receives the award type information as the readable information of the first information unit 31 and the unreadable information of the second information unit 32 for the lottery information printed on the own sleeve 10. The award content information (that is, information such as a two-dimensional code coded so that it cannot be read) can be visually recognized.

JP 2000-271011 A

  However, the heat insulation and heat insulation container described in Patent Document 1 merely discloses that printing is performed for the purpose of imparting designability or the like to the surface of the outer peripheral surface. Although certain effects such as improvement of the quality can be expected, it is difficult to expect further effects. Here, the present inventor has paid attention to the fact that a printing technique called scratch printing is used in the printing technical field, which is a technical field that is completely different from the technical field of disposable cups. This scratch printing is typically used in a scratch lot, and is a predetermined portion (hereinafter, referred to as “printing substrate”) of the surface of a printing base material (hereinafter referred to as “printing substrate”) that is formed into a paper sheet. "Concealment site"), lottery winning information (for example, characters such as "win" or "miss") and winning types (for example, "1st class", "2nd class", "sorry award", etc.) ) Etc. using a normal ink by a predetermined printing technique (typically offset printing), and a predetermined printing technique (typically Printing is performed by screen printing), and the concealed portion is concealed by the concealing layer using the special ink. In addition to the characters, a predetermined pattern or symbol may be printed on the concealed part. In addition, a release layer made of a transparent varnish is usually provided with a predetermined printing technique (typically between the normal printing layer with the normal printing ink and the concealing layer with the special ink at the concealment site of the hit information and the type of hit. Is printed by offset printing), and a concealing layer is usually disposed on the printing layer through the peeling layer so as to be peelable. Then, the user who purchased or obtained the scratch lot (by a campaign, etc.) scrapes the scratch concealment layer with a coin or a nail, so that the concealed portion is exposed and visible from the outside. The winning information and the winning type of the concealed part can be confirmed. In addition, the printing color (usually gray) with the normal ink used for printing of the concealment site and the type of printing is the same color or the approximate color of the printing color of the concealing layer (usually silver) with the special ink. The effect of concealing the normal printing part by the layer is ensured. Further, the back surface of the sheet-like base material is printed in black so that the characters and the like of the concealment portion cannot be seen through the back surface side.

  Then, the present inventor uses a scratch information such as the above-mentioned scratch printing at a predetermined portion of the outer peripheral surface of the disposable cup as described above (hereinafter referred to as a “hiding information portion”). ) Will increase the palatability and entertainment effects of disposable cups, and in particular, it is possible to propose a mode of use that has a great advertising effect especially for businesses that provide beverages with disposable cups. The idea of the present invention was obtained. On the other hand, disposable cups are stored and transported in a vertically fitted state (that is, in the axial direction of the disposable cup) in order to save storage space during storage and transport. The inner peripheral surface of the lower disposable cup comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the upper disposable cup. Therefore, when scratch printing is performed on the outer peripheral surface of the disposable cup, the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the disposable cup stacked vertically are rubbed with each other, especially during transportation, and the outer peripheral surface of the upper disposable cup is rubbed by friction. There is a possibility that the concealing layer, which is a scratch printing layer, may be peeled off (or even partially). In this case, disposable cups contain beverages as their contents. According to the Food Sanitation Law (especially “Chapter 3 Appliances and Containers and Packaging”), “Equipment and containers and packaging used in business are clean and sanitary. (Article 15) and "Contact equipment, containers or packaging or food or additives that may contain or adhere to toxic or harmful substances. Appliances or containers and packaging that may harm human health by adversely affecting them are manufactured, imported, or used for business purposes. ”(Article 16). As mentioned above, the special ink on the concealing layer of the scratch printing is peeled off even in a small amount, and the strip of the special ink is removed from the disposable cup ( Situation or remain or adhere to direct contact with) the inner peripheral surface the surface of the charge, it is necessary to reliably prevented.

  Accordingly, the present inventors is not a disposable cup itself, the results of extensive research for articles used in association with the disposable cups, paper sleeve ( "coffee mounted in a fitted state on the outer circumferential surface of the disposable cup "Sleeve", also called "cup sleeve"). In addition, this paper sleeve is used for the disposable cup so that the temperature of the hot beverage is not directly applied to the fingers of the drinker holding the disposable cup when the beverage as the contents of the disposable cup is a hot beverage such as hot coffee. It is wound around the outer periphery or fitted and fitted. By this paper sleeve, it is possible to suppress or block the heat of the hot beverage inside the disposable cup from being transmitted to the fingers of the drinker. Alternatively, the paper sleeve can be used so that the cold drink is not directly applied to the fingers of the drinker holding the disposable cup even when the beverage as the contents of the disposable cup is a cold drink such as iced coffee. The outer peripheral surface of the disposable cup is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the disposable cup so that water droplets generated by condensation do not adhere to the fingers of the drinker. Thus, paper sleeve, to exert its function is mounted to the disposable paper cups in retrofitted when needed, rather than disposable cup itself, and the scratch lottery provided by scratching printed on paper sleeve, the paper sleeve the if mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the disposable paper cups in retrofitting, as in the case of providing a scratch lotteries by scratching printed disposable paper cups themselves, in that it can exhibit a unique effect of the scratch lottery, the present invention The person came up with the idea. At the same time, in this case, (provided the paper sleeve) inside the disposable cup in it does not occur a situation release strip of special ink scratch printing or remaining or deposited, the present inventors focused did. Then, the present inventor has earnestly researched and developed a technique for scratch printing on such a paper sleeve, and has come up with the disposable cup sleeve according to the present invention. Furthermore, the present inventor has found that by intensive studies of various conventional technical ideas by scratching the print in relation to the sleeve for disposable cups and disposable cups, specific to the disposable cup and / or disposable cup sleeve characteristics or attributes The invention of a sleeve for a disposable cup that can exhibit a creative effect in relation to the above and a synergistic effect based on these relations has also been conceived.

  Furthermore, as in the case of scratch printing, there is a printing technique called cellophane tape-off printing as a printing technique in which information such as a lottery is provided in a concealed state on a printing substrate by utilizing concealment with a special ink such as silver ink. This cellophane tape-off printing technology uses a predetermined printing technique (typical) to print characters (such as winning lottery information, winning type, or answer to quizzes, etc.) on the concealed part of the printing substrate using normal ink. In general, offset printing is used to form a normal printing layer, and a release layer made of a transparent varnish is formed on the normal printing layer in the same manner as scratch printing, typically by a predetermined printing technique (typically Is printed by gravure printing, and a concealing layer made of special ink such as silver ink is provided on the release layer so as to be peeled off by a predetermined printing technique (typically gravure printing). The present inventor can obtain the same specific effect as when a lottery or the like is provided on a disposable cup sleeve by scratch printing or by providing a lottery or the like on the disposable cup sleeve by scratch printing. Pay attention. Then, the present inventor, like these scratch printing and cellophane tape off printing, can conceal a predetermined normal printing portion printed on the printing substrate with a concealing layer and can remove the concealing layer when necessary. (Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it is referred to as “hidden printing”) and the invention of the sleeve for the disposable cup according to the present application has been completed.

The third information unit 33 is code information in which the information of the second information unit 32 is encoded with the award content information. Even if the second information unit is viewed, the content of the award content information is directly In order to confirm the contents of the information, it is necessary to scan the code of the second information unit 32 as described above. The third information is additionally printed. Note that the third information in the third information section 33 is composed of words that prompt the recipient to scan the code. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, “the award content scans the code!” It consists of the following words. As described above, the third information unit 33 is provided for the purpose of encouraging the recipient to scan the code, so that the recipient can determine the lottery information of the concealment information unit 20 based on notification information from the provider. In order to acquire the award content information, it may be omitted if it can be easily or reliably recognized that the code of the second information section 32 needs to be scanned.

[Production method]
Next, a preferred example of a method for manufacturing the sleeve 10 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In order to manufacture the sleeve 10, first, as shown in FIG. 7A, in the base paper cutting process, a base paper roll RB having a predetermined width is continuously fed in a fixed direction and cut at a constant interval in the feed direction. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, a flat sheet-like base paper sheet SB having the predetermined width dimension and a constant length dimension (for example, a width of 40 cm and a length of 80 cm) is manufactured. At this time, each of the base paper sheets SB has a predetermined plurality of predetermined cutting lines CL (see FIG. 7) of the surrounding shape corresponding to the outer contour of the sleeve 10, as indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. Eight in the example) are arranged side by side along the length direction of the base paper sheet SB. For convenience of explanation, a surrounding portion surrounded by each cutting line CL in the base paper sheet SB is referred to as a pre-printing sleeve 10A. Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, in the engaging portion forming step, the slit-like engaging portion 16 is formed by cutting at a predetermined position of each pre-printing sleeve 10A of each base paper sheet SA. The Next, as shown in FIG. 7C, in the information portion printing step, the concealment information portion 20 is formed by printing at a predetermined position of the pre-printing sleeve 10A drawn by each base paper sheet SA. As a result, a printed base paper sheet PB obtained by printing the concealment information portion 20 on the pre-printing sleeve 10A of the base paper sheet SA is obtained. In addition, for convenience of explanation, an encircled portion surrounded by each scheduled cutting line CL in the printed base paper sheet PB is referred to as a printed sleeve 10B. Next, in the cutting step, each printed sleeve 10B is cut from the printed base paper sheet PB along the planned cutting line CL by punching or the like. Thereby, as shown in FIG.7 (d), the sleeve 10 of Embodiment 1 can be obtained.

  Thus, by printing the concealment information part 20 on the pre-printing sleeve 10A of the flat sheet-like base paper sheet SB, the concealment information part 20 is directly placed at a predetermined position corresponding to the sleeve 10 in the roll-like base paper roll RB. Compared with the case of printing, the concealment information unit 20 can be printed reliably, and printing mistakes can be prevented. That is, the present inventor has come up with the original technical idea of providing a concealment information unit 20 made of scratch printing or the like on a conventional disposable cup sleeve, while the concealment information unit 20 (especially scratch printing) on the sleeve 10. At the same time, as a result of intensive investigations on the technical idea of reliably forming (preventing printing errors due to special printing techniques such as cellophane tape off printing), the inventors have come up with the invention of the unique manufacturing method as described above. In other words, according to the knowledge of the present inventor, when the concealment information part 20 is printed directly at a predetermined position of the portion corresponding to the sleeve 10 in the roll-shaped base paper roll RB, the base paper roll RB is printed when the concealment information part 20 is printed. The concealment information section 20 is not printed well by the special printing technique because the printing surface of the paper is curved, and a printing error such as a printing omission portion may occur. By printing the concealment information section 20 on the pre-printing sleeve 10A after the RB is a flat sheet-like base paper sheet SB, such a printing mistake can be surely prevented. The engaging portion forming step may be performed after the information portion forming step, or may be performed simultaneously with the cutting step.

However, even if the lot ID is the same, the information processing system varies depending on the lot ID range. It is also possible to prepare web pages of URLs and present web pages of different contents for each range of different lottery IDs depending on the web pages of each URL.

[Characteristics of sleeve as retrofit article]
Here, the sleeve information processing system of the first embodiment basically associates a single store ID and store name with one lottery ID (that is, one sleeve 10 to which a certain lottery ID is assigned is one. In general, the above processing is configured assuming that the sleeve 10 of the same lot is provided to a single store. However, for example, an original store (hereinafter referred to as an “original supply destination”) to which a sleeve 10 of a certain lot ID is provided does not use the sleeve 10 of the lot ID (provided for a certain campaign) at all. If (in other words, none) is not used (for example, when the campaign is ended without using the sleeves 10), the sleeve 10 of the lot ID of the original store is left unused and other new Can be provided to stores with a long store ID (hereinafter referred to as “new provider”). For example, from the initial provision destination of store ID 01 (store name 01) in FIG. 11 to the new provision destinations, store ID 02 (store name 02), store ID 03 (store name 03),..., Store ID k (store name k) The sleeve 10 in use can be provided sequentially.

  In this case, the information processing system for sleeves uses an advertisement ID that associates the association of the advertisement ID with the award content ID with the store ID of the original offer destination for all lottery IDs belonging to the lot ID in the advertisement connection table T7. From the above, the sleeve 10 can be used in the same manner as in the case of a new article only by updating the advertisement ID so as to correspond to the store ID of the new provision destination. Information processing can be executed. In this case, the sleeve information processing system can update the correspondence of the store ID to the lot ID from the store ID of the original providing destination to the store ID of the new providing destination in the transaction table T5. Even if not, the same information processing is possible for the lottery of the sleeve 10. Further, even when the initial provision destination does not use the sleeve 10 in a certain range of a certain lot ID, the information processing system for the sleeve specifies the range by the lottery ID (uniquely assigned to the sleeve 10). Therefore, in the advertisement connection table T7, for all lottery IDs belonging to the non-use range of the lot ID, the association of the advertisement ID with the award content ID is made from the advertisement ID of the store ID of the original providing destination to the new providing destination. Only by updating to the advertisement ID of the store ID, the sleeve 10 can be used in the same manner as in the case of a new article, and the same information processing as described above can be executed on the sleeve 10.

  That is, in the information processing system using the sleeve of the present invention including the present embodiment (that is, the sleeve-based lottery system), the sleeve 10 is provided as a separate body from the disposable cup to be attached, and can be used in any disposable cup. Since it has the property of being attached later, and the disposable cup to be attached also has the property of being disposable, a lottery ID is given in advance for each sleeve 10 to impair the mass productivity of the sleeve 10. While the manufactured sleeve 10 is provided (typically on a lot-by-lot basis) to a particular provider who wishes to use the sleeve 10 for a particular campaign, and that particular provider is not used The sleeve 10 can be used for another campaign of the new provider by providing it to another new provider.Even in this case, according to the new provision destination, the data of the advertisement connection table T7 and the like is updated at any time by the sleeve information processing system, and completely customized to the use of the new provision destination in exactly the same manner. In this state, the sleeve 10 is attached to the disposable cup and a lottery system using the sleeve 10 is constructed, and a predetermined campaign desired by the new provider can be realized. In addition, paying attention to the fact that the sleeve 10 is a retrofit article, the sleeve information processing system updates the correspondence between the prize type ID and the prize content ID for the lottery ID in the winning information table T1, thereby the same sleeve 10 is updated. It is possible to assign an award type and award content different from the original award type and award content and / or an advertising content different from the initial advertisement content for the same lottery ID, and the relationship with the disposable cup Thus, it is possible to greatly increase the degree of freedom and the preference of the lottery with the sleeve 10 and to construct a flexible lottery system according to the campaign application.

[Lottery processing]
