Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a win indicator particularly for promotional purposes.
  • win indicators mainly used in operations aimed at promoting the sale of certain products, are known; they are based on the principle of concealing the winning message and on the possibility for the consumer to remove this concealment only after purchasing the product with which the indicator is associated.
  • win indicators constituted by a message, printed directly on the package of the product to be promoted or on a ticket placed inside the package of the product, which is concealed by means of a paint removable by abrasion or by washing with water or appropriate solvents.
  • win indicators are constituted by messages simply printed on pieces of paper or cardboard placed inside the package of the product to be promoted.
  • a principal aim of the present invention is to provide a new win indicator in which the win or no-win is displayed with a surprising effect.
  • a particular object of the invention is to provide a win indicator for stimulating the curiosity of the consumer so as to be particularly effective in its use as a promotional vehicle.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a win indicator that is simple to manufacture and can be produced at a modest cost.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a win indicator ensuring an excellent concealment of the winning message.
  • a win indicator characterized in that it is constituted by a tablet that includes a body made of a water-insoluble material, which bears win or no-win indications, and is embedded inside a body made of water-soluble material.
  • the win indicator according to the invention is substantially constituted by a tablet that includes a body 2 made of a water-insoluble material, which bears win or no-win indications, and is embedded inside a body 3 made of water-soluble material.
  • the body 3 is constituted by an effervescent substance.
  • the win or no-win indications can be constituted by messages printed directly on the body 2 made of non-soluble material or can be constituted by the color proper of the body 2, by providing a win-indicating body 2 that has a different color from that of other bodies 2 indicating instead a failed win attempt.
  • the body 2 can be made so that it floats, for example by using a material that has a lower relative density than water, or by providing a cavity inside said body 2.
  • body 3 and the body 2 can both have any shape according to the requirements.
  • the win indicator according to the invention is evident from what has been described and illustrated; it is particularly evident that in order to obtain the win or no-win indication it is sufficient to introduce the indicator 1 into water, as illustrated particularly in figures 3 and 4, so as to make the body 3 dissolve gradually, revealing the body 2 with the associated win indication.
  • the indicator according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim, since by virtue of its particular structure it ensures the desired surprise effect that is a decisive prerogative for the success of win indicators.
  • Another advantage is that it conceals with absolute safety, by means of the body made of water-soluble material, the body that bears the win or no-win indication.
  • An additional advantage is constituted by the extremely low production costs of the win indicator according to the invention.
  • the materials employed may be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
