Definitions
- This invention has for its subject a paper web for issuing bills in check form, which comprises two opposed surfaces, namely a front side and a back side.
- a primary function of such checks is to provide the consumer with a breakdown of purchased items, which are printed along with their respective amounts en the front side of the check, and in sane countries, constitute a fiscal record appropriate to provide evidence that the goods have been regularly purchased.
- the back side of the check could be utilized for advertising purposes.
- the back side of the paper web has been imprinted with sets of playbills conveying advertising messages or cc ⁇ mercials.
- Another, indirect advertising message is usually printed on the front side of the check, where in addition to the purchased items, the name of the store that issued the check is also entered.
- SUBSTITUTESHEET Belgian Patent BE-A-569587 suggests the use of receipts or bills for publicising purposes by having characters cr symbols of one color printed in inks having different compositions such that, by suitably processing such receipts, color toning of one of the inks can be produced.
- the receipts can be utilised as cards for game playing, e.g. to enter the drawing of a prize selected on the basis of the kind of character or symbol the color of which has been toned by the process.
- the problem underlying this invention is to provide a paper web for issuing bills in check form, which is so designed as to readily attract the consumer's attention and accordingly enhance the advertising or publicising effectiveness of the check.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a roll of a web for check issuing, in accordance with this invention
- Figure 2 is a plan view of the back side surface of a check as cut off the roll of Figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 shows three checks in plan view after their back side surfaces have been treated with a reactant.
- the reference numeral 1 generally designates a paper web as wound into a roll and intended for use with cash registers for issuing overprinted checks 2.
- Two opposed surfaces are defined on the web 1 which form a front side 3 and a back side 4, respectively.
- On the front side 3 surface there are applied in print the purchase entries of a standard check, along with the name of the issuing shop or store and the date of issuance.
- Printed on the back side 4 surface of the web 1 are plural messages respectively indicated at 5a, 5b, and 5c on the three
- All the messages 5 are printed in sympathetic ink, that is an ink having the well-kncwn property that it remains invisible before it is treated with a suitable reactant. Since the sympathetic inks/reactants ccmbinaticais are well known to the skilled person in the art, a detailed description of than will be omitted herein. Preference is given, however, to an ink of the 14179008 Type produced by SICPA, a corporation of Milan, Italy, which can be developed using an alkaline based or sodium hypochlorite based liquid reactant. In this case, the reactant may be provided within a standard felt pen and spread over the back side 4 surface of the check 2 thereby.
- the distance D between any two bordering lines 6 is equal to the spacing between contiguous messages 5 and a sufct ⁇ ultiple of the minimum check length, that is of the length of a check as printed by a cash register for a purchase of a single item.
- the distance D is equal to one half the minimum check length.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET contain at least one complete message 5 readily recognizable as such.
- the stake consists of getting on two different checks exact coincidence of their respective messages 5, as represented in that case by a cross band whose location may vary relatively to the bordering lines 6, with the corresponding bordering lines 6 brought to coincide.
- the number of messages on a given check is depends solely on the check length, which is in turn proportionately tied to the number of the entries appearing in print on the front side and not to the actual total amount of the purchase made, it would be unfair to allow higher chances of winning for a consumer who has made several buys of low value than a consumer who, for the same total amount, has bought a lesser number of single items; accordingly, the stake organizers may require that only one message 5 be developed per check, and in that case, it is irrportant that the consumer can recognize the locations of the various messages even though unable to read their contents.
- a major advantage of this invention is that, additionally to stimulating consumers to revisit the same shop or store and/or drawing attention to the back side of the checks, it enables stakes and promotional activities to be set up without interfering with the normal cash operations in any way. That is, contrary to other promotional activities providing, for instance, for the distribution of gifts from the desk.
- the information which appears on the front side of the check can be effective to validate possible wins, thus preventing shop or store personnel frcm deceitfully taking away prize items reserved for the buyer.
- a further use is, for this check, that of a carrier for so-called promotional tickets, also known as "discount coupons".
- discount coupons would be printed in sympathetic ink (possibly to indicate different amounts), thereby a plurality of coupons can be provided on the check which are invisible to the buyer.
