Brief description of drawings
Understand the present invention for clearer, the preferred embodiment example will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 is the planimetric map according to the stamp thin slice of an example,
Fig. 2 is the planimetric map of the stamp thin slice of second example,
Fig. 3 is the stereographic map of the stamp thin slice of the 3rd example,
Fig. 4 is the stereographic map of the stamp thin slice of the 4th example.
The explanation of preferred embodiment
With reference to figure 1, can see the thin slice 1 that a kind of postal stamp 3 is provided.In this example, there are 12 stamps 3 to be provided on the thin slice 1, only be to be considered to be the acceptable good numeral of consumer usually but this thin slice can comprise stamp _ 12 of other number.Each stamp 3 is by tearing and can tear with thin slice 1 along line of perforation 5 and perpendicular line of perforation 7.
Stamp thin slice 1 is made by paper, and this paper is not phosphorous and preferably do not contain the optics brightener when paper applies.The back of paper is the glue that applies, so it can adhere on the mail.Each stamp 3 comprises main district 9 and secondary sections 11.Main district 9 provides a stamp image that official is printed, and it can be used for specific stamp distribution.This official's image is to be used for post office or subsidiary post office to carry out the postal image of confirming.Like this, each mainly distinguish 9 be printed with the official stamp image and preferably this stamp image be identical in each district on 9.Secondary sections 11 is left blank or another kind of situation is to have border on every side.
Fig. 1 further clearly shows each is mainly distinguished 9 line of perforation 13 of separating with secondary sections 11.The purpose of doing like this will be explained in the back.During stamp thin slice printing, each official stamp image can be according to phosphorus on the disclosed technical mark in the Australian Patent of the name application of postal company of Australia and SNP Cambec Pty company limited numbers 664740.Only mainly distinguishing 9 is phosphorus on the mark, and secondary sections 11 does not have labeled phosphorus, but this does not get rid of the possibility of mark secondary sections 11.
The thin slice 1 that should understand stamp 3 is printed with the stamp image in main district 9, be blank in secondary sections 11, and in printing thin 1 back it is handled, so that line of perforation 5,7 and 13 to be provided.
As shown in Figure 1, thin slice 1 has the periphery 15 of the blank of normally not printing.
Therefore can see on the thin slice 1 in main district 9, a plurality of stamp images and a plurality of relevant secondary sections 11 being arranged, the postal unwanted picture of confirming occur in this secondary sections 11 subsequently.All secondary sections 11 are positioned at identical relative position with respect to relevant main district 3.
Thin slice 1 without any personalized image in secondary sections 11 is placed on suitable retail platform, as the mechanism of post office or subsidiary post office or their approvals.Client can arrive the subsidiary post office or the mechanism that ratify and make the stamp personalization then.Usually, personalization can be to add the photo need be placed in the secondary sections 11 or the mode of work of fine arts.In one case, the image that provides in secondary sections 11 can be the people's that take of the tissue agreed of that people or mechanism the photo of face-image or whole body photo etc.In another case, it can be collective's group photo.Other possibility also exists, and personalized image is to have by requiring the people who buys stamp to select.Post office, subsidiary post office or mechanism be that personalized image of digitizing then, thereby this image can be used as the stamp image and is used to each secondary sections 11.In case personalized image is digitized, it is handled a size to be adapted to secondary sections 11.But, thereby during the printing personalized image, can duplicate this image in each secondary sections 11 on stamp 3 on the thin slice 1 for the also set handling of duplicating of image.Usually, the assistant software that uses a computer is used to catch image and processing.Computing machine output can be arrived monochromatic or colored any suitable digital picture copy machine.Suitable digital picture copy machine can comprise:
Laser printer
Ink-jet printer
Dot-matrix printer
Any other suitable printer
Can receive digital input signals and provide the photograph of the image output that needs to copy reproducing unit.
Usually, client provide as digitizing from the image of photo etc., can obtain by digital camera or by digital scanner by post office, subsidiary post office or mechanism.Another kind of situation is that the personalized image of digital document form can be provided to post office, subsidiary post office or mechanism, thereby no longer needs digitizing.The copying image machine prints on the prepunched stamp thin slice 1 that printed in advance as basic part then and provide personalized image on secondary sections 11.
On thin slice 1 by the mechanism of post office, subsidiary post office or approval rather than directly to provide personalized image by the terminal user be necessary, because this can monitor personalized image, satisfy the criterion and the public morality standard of necessary post office, subsidiary post office and approval mechanism to guarantee it.And, require client to fill in the application form that (execute) statement has property in copyright to any works that will be replicated.By this way, can not consider the possibility of the copyright infringement of post office, subsidiary post office and approval mechanism.
Manufactured and when giving client when personalized stamp 3, client can be on demand by tearing and each stamp 3 separated from thin slice 1 along line of perforation 5 and 7 defibers that limit.If desired, client can select to tear along line of perforation 13, thereby is only mainly distinguished the stamp image in 9 and do not have secondary sections 11.
If customer need comprises the whole stamp 3 of main district 9 and secondary sections 11, can separate and use it for mail from thin slice 1.By noticing the phosphorus mark, post office or subsidiary post office stamp detect stamp 3 by detecting to handle.As behind the mail, stamp 3 can be fetched from mail, and if desired, and the stamp collector can select leave strip to have the stamp 3 of main district 9 and secondary sections 11 whole or tear and main district 9 and secondary sections 11 separately by the defiber that limits along line of perforation 13.
Therefore can see that secondary sections 11 can liken the label that attaches to the stamp image that produces in the main district 9 to.
Though interrelate the thin slice 1 of stamp 3 has been described with Adhesive stamp paper, but this notion can be applicable to other stamp type, as with the strip off of thin slice or strip or leather wallet (wallet) form with paste stamp (peeland stick stamp), term " thin slice " should broadly be thought and comprises this and other the distortion that produces stamp on network.In addition, though preferred exemplary is expressed the less important stamp image 11 on the label, its main district 9 part on the whole.For example, can in the official stamp image, provide a zone to realize personalization.
With reference to figure 2, expression is according to second example of stamp thin slice of the present invention again.In this example, stamp 1 thin slice is similar to disclosed stamp thin slice among the International Patent Application PCT/CA95/00017 (international publication number WO/95/20807) of Canada Post Corporation.In that piece patent specification, a kind of stamp thin slice by user individual is disclosed.That piece patented claim is that with the different of this example personalized image is to confirm that with postal service the printed stamp image of discernible official is produced simultaneously in that piece patented claim.Personalized image is definite in advance in advance by post office, subsidiary post office or approval mechanism, and is not the image according to the real personalization of customer requirements.In that piece patented claim, specific personalized image is diverse.The user can select the printed stamp image of which personalized image and official together to use.But in this example, second printing-flow follow-up as the printed stamp image of official produces personalized image.Like this, in this example, personalized image is the image by the real personalization of the client of stamp or user's decision.In that piece of writing application, these personalized image are pre-determined by post office, subsidiary post office or approval mechanism as previously described.
Therefore, in this example, thin slice 1 is similar to the disclosed thin slice with respect to first embodiment.But especially preferably it constitutes the part of strip off and stickup stamp thin slice for it.In this structure, a glycocoll (glacine) base sheet (not shown) is arranged, and thin slice 1 uses and adheres to there by the pressure-sensitive adhesive material on the top of base sheet.By this way, base sheet temporarily attaches to base sheet loosely.In use, each stamp 3 usefulness defibers suitably cut, to limit the periphery of stamp 3.Thereby by the bight of stamp 3 is disconnected from base portion 1, stamp 3 can take off and is used for mail from base portion.The cutting of stamp 3 is to make cutting not cut base portion in the thin slice 1.The special system that is used for cutting is that the International Patent Application PCT 91/00200 of WO91/18378 is open at our publication number.What this patented claim related to is the eyelet that simulation is provided on strip off or stickup stamp.
By observing Fig. 2, can see that each stamp 3 has a main district 9 of duplicating the printed stamp image of official.Also show official's separation of images ground printing of each secondary sections 11 and stamp 3.Show that also each stamp 3 has a zone 17, it defines the position that adds secondary sections 11.In the example shown, regional 17 integral body are included in the main district 9.In a kind of distortion, can be overlapping with main district 9 or separate with main district 9 fully in zone 17.
Each personalized image 11 is duplicated according to the technology of describing in first embodiment, as the printed second follow-up printing process of stamp image of discernible official of postal service affirmation.Like this, wish that the people that personalized stamp 3 is used for mail can separate stamp 3 from thin slice 1 around defiber, and it is used mail.Personalized image in the secondary sections 11 can be separated from thin slice 1 around the defiber 19 of each secondary sections 11.Then secondary sections 11 is applied on zone 17 with personalized stamp 3.Therefore the thickness of the stamp 3 that obtains of result with the thickness twice that equals sheeting 1.
Therefore can see in the example shown that each zone 17 that limits the position of using secondary sections 11 comprises at least a portion in main district 9, and each secondary sections 11 is whole mainly distinguishes in 9 at each.Each secondary sections 11 is positioned at identical relative position with respect to relevant main district, and preferably has and main district 9 a similar numbers secondary sections 11.
With reference now to Fig. 3,, represent the 3rd example of the present invention, it is similar to the example of Fig. 2, and difference is that in this embodiment, stamp thin slice 1 is in the bar form of coiled cylinder.Personalized image in official stamp image in the main district 9 and the secondary sections is to produce with original described identical mode.These stamps are strip off and stickup type preferably, although do not get rid of the strip adhesive type stamp that is rolled into tubular.
With reference now to Fig. 4,, expresses the another example of the stamp 3 of leather wallet form of the present invention.Here stamp 3 is made in the mode that is similar to the mode of describing with reference to Fig. 2, except the thin slice 1 collapsible leather wallet stamp that forms.
In Fig. 2,3 and 4 example, the secondary sections 11 of supposing to have personalized image is taken off and is applied to form on the sheeting of stamp 3 so that the sheeting of at least two thickness to be provided stamp 3 from thin slice 1.Provide zone 17 that it can be removed from stamp 3, thereby when secondary sections 11 is applied to mail in the position that is limited by the zone of removing 17, stamp 3 will only have the thin slice 1 of a single thickness, this also within the scope of the invention.
Top process is applicable to the multiple mode of selling thin slice 1.For example, the mechanism of many post offices, subsidiary post office or approval is arranged, client can get in touch with it, to obtain stamp thin slice 1.These may be existing very easily stamp retailers.In other suggestion, thin slice can only be sold from postal service point.Under each above-mentioned situation, the thin slice 1 that has personalized image 11 can be at these mechanism's local replicas.In another occasion, digitized image can transfer to remote site in these mechanisms' processing and by any suitable data link, and the thin slice 1 that has personalized image in this place in secondary sections 11 is replicated.Thin slice 1 is returned to mechanism then, gives client then.
In another example, thin slice 1 can be provided for the photo sensitizing range of secondary sections 11, thereby traditional photograph image can provide thereon and duplicate at one or more secondary sections 11 places on thin slice 1, and the development of the aspect of taking a picture then is to produce the image that needs.In this occasion, term " printing machinery " is to comprise necessary photograph image development machine.
Can carry out the modification of these and other without departing from the scope of the invention, essence of the present invention is determined by the explanation of front.
