Definitions
- the invention relates to a card for verifying results entered in the boxes of a grid in a betting or games of chance bulletin.
- This card has some drawbacks. First of all, you don't always have a tool for removing plots by scraping or lifting them.
- the verification card of the invention is characterized in that the plots are delimited by incised edges on the two sheets, and no longer only on the upper sheet. It is then enough to push on each plot to detach it, and without having to scratch it, to pierce the card at this location.
- the lower sheet can then without inconvenience be slightly transparent or even completely opaque.
- the inventor's imagination has made it possible to find several situations where the incised edges lend themselves to easy removal of the plots while offering sufficient resistance or adhesion of the plots before. It is first of all possible that the incised edges which delimit the plots are continuous. A preferred embodiment then consists in that, for each plot, the incised edge which delimits it on one sheet is surrounded by the incised edge which delimits it on the other sheet, so that the incised edges delimit a continuous strip.
- Another preferred embodiment consists in that the plots are delimited by a first continuous incised edge on one of the sheets and by a second incised edge on the other of the sheets, this second edge being composed of two separate parts, one of which covers a part of the first incised edge and the other part of which is parallel to another part of the first incised edge. If the first incised edge forms a rectangle, the first part of the second incised edge can cover three sides of the rectangle and the second part then extends not far from the fourth side.
- FIG. 1 represents a view of a first embodiment of the invention
- FIGS. 1A and 1B represent two details of possible modifications of this embodiment
- FIG. 2 represents a view of a second embodiment of the invention
- Figure 3 illustrates an example of a results bulletin grid.
- a verification card of the invention is composed of a lower sheet 3 or backing sheet of silicone, sulfurous or other paper and an upper sheet 4 or front sheet of synthetic material (for example polyethylene) or any ordinary paper, glued to the previous sheet with a sufficiently removable adhesive film 5.
- the embodiment chosen by the inventor combines a lower sheet 3 of strong strong paper (Kraft) and a top sheet 4 of satin wove paper, to combine strength and beautiful appearance.
- the adhesive is a solid wax.
- the verification card 2 carries a network of plots 6 of the same arrangement and substantially the same area as the boxes of the grid 1, so that each of the plots 6 can be superimposed on one of the boxes when the alignment is perfect (the scales of representation in Figures 1, 2 and 3 are different for reasons of clarity).
- the ⁇ plots are identified by numbers identical to those of the boxes associated with them, except the plot in the upper left corner (referenced by 60) which remains blank.
- the verification card 2 may in reality be larger than it is shown and supplemented by a surface decorated with a drawing, an advertising message, a mark or another sign. It is still possible that the verification cards 2 will be sold in batches on a stem book where they will be grouped in several sheets and joined together by serrations similar to those of postage stamps or precut on one or more sides according to their packaging. .
- Each plot 6 is delimited by an incised edge 7 operated through the lower sheet 3 and by a second incised edge 8 on the upper sheet 4.
- the incised edges 7 and 8 are both rectangular and the first surrounds the second by delimiting a strip 9 continues.
- the incised edges 7 and 8 are here completely continuous and therefore completely separate the plots 6 from the rest of each sheet 3 or 4, but it might be possible, to obtain better attachment of the plots 6 to the rest of the control card 2, of be satisfied with incised edges 7 and 8 which would only be substantially continuous, that is to say that the sheets 3 and 4 would be spared by the incision tool at some of their points, by example at the corners of the plots thus creating attachment points or surfaces.
- the edges 8 are preferably individual, while the edges 7 are preferably common to the plots of the bottom sheet.
- the plots 6 are detached by pushing them perpendicular to the control card 2 from the surface of the upper sheet 4: the adhesive located at the strips 9 is subjected to traction and broken. We therefore remove the plots 6 corresponding to the correct results of the game to verify its choice, and we also remove the blank plot 60 to create a recess at its location and facilitate the superimposition of the verification card 2 on grid 1, if this box blank was not previously removed by the manufacturer, seeking to read the index number.
- This embodiment is preferred because it has the advantages of the invention over other designs of verification cards.
- the reversible adhesion of the sheets 3 and 4 combined with completely incised edges 7 and 8 makes it possible to know with great precision the force necessary to detach the plots 6, which only depends on the resistance of the adhesive to the traction and the surface of the strips 9.
- Almost all known cards include only one sheet and plots delimited by punched or serrated edges: it is necessary to tear the paper between the punching holes to remove the plots, which is more difficult to do skillfully and quickly, and leaves a jagged and unclear appearance at the edges.
- the incised edges 7 of the lower sheet 3 completely surround or cover the incised edges 8 of the upper sheet 4.
- This arrangement is not compulsory but nevertheless has the advantage of never stripping a silicone-coated lower sheet 3 or the like whose appearance is less pleasant because of its yellowish color. If this consideration is neglected, other arrangements can be chosen, for example by inverting the positions of the incised edges. Another design is shown in Figure 2.
- the verification card is labeled 12.
- the sheets 3 and 4 are the same as before, as well as the layer of adhesive 5 and the arrangement of the plots 6, but the incised edges are here different.
- the incised edges 18 of the upper sheet 4 are continuous and rectangular just like the edges 8, but the incised edges 17 formed on the lower sheet 3 have a more complicated shape and include, for each plot 6, first incised edges 17a formed by three segments in a broken line and which cover three sides of the rectangles delimited by the incised edges 18 (two vertical sides and one horizontal), and they also include horizontal segments 17b parallel to the fourth sides 19 of the incised edges 18; these segments 17b are six in number and distributed next to each line of plots 6 according to the arrangement shown, a segment 17b extending along an interval 20 between lines of plots 6 in two.
