Description

The Description

Telephone cards as collector's items differ from each other largely only in the way they are printed. This creates the appeal for new, more interesting telephone cards, which complement and enhance the conventional card collection with their different style. The targeted use of new and original cards could significantly increase the collector's market.

With the present and following invention, a significant step is taken in this advantageous and forward-looking direction. The invention can be designed in a variety of ways and thus provide the collectors' market with new incentives to buy telephone cards.

The invention specified in the claim is based on the following problems:

- to attract attention among the population;

- increase sales;

- to retain the function as a telephone card;

- to make the system simple and effective.

The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that

- the attention of the population, especially of telephone card collectors, is increased;

- more people are encouraged to collect;

- the function as a telephone card is retained;

- sales figures are likely to increase due to the market stimulus;

- the system is simple and effective;

- a new collecting area is opened up.

Examples of implementation

{Common types of plastic and metal are used. .)

The phone card has the usual thickness of such a card. A hole is cut into the card that is exactly the size of the watch to be integrated. The watch (l.a) must only be thick enough to be welded into the card using two tear-resistant and extremely thin films (l.b). See drawing no. 1. It is advantageous to weld the watch into the card. This way it is largely protected from scratches that reduce its value, depending on the quality of the film.

It is also possible to integrate the watch securely into the card without locking it.

All three layers (No. 2-4) are equally thick and together make up the usual thickness of a telephone card. The parts to be cut out are shown with dashed lines. The holes in layers No. 2 and No. 4 are adjusted to the radius of the clock (5.a), and hole No. 3 is adjusted to the radius of No. 5 b. Now layer No. 2 is glued to No. 3. The clock, specially made like No. 5, is inserted into the glued layer. Now layer No. 4 is glued to No. 3 with the clock. Sketch No. 6 shows the finished clock telephone card. The card just described should not be bent because of the retaining ring (No. 5 b).

The clock can be integrated at any point on the prepaid card.

The chip is installed into the finished card in the conventional way.
