Definitions
- the present invention relates to a token.
- a preferred area of use for this token is advertising.
- tokens also called tokens or chips
- tokens are known means of payment.
- they are not universally redeemable, but can only be used at special exchange points.
- gaming chips that can be used in casinos are known, entry chips for indoor pools or vouchers in the form of chips for shops.
- These tokens are generally made of plastic. In some cases they are marked with their monetary value, in some cases only their exchange value, for example a swimming pool entrance, is indicated.
- the token of the present invention has the special feature that, on the one hand, a monetary value in the form of a coin is always visible and, on the other hand, a connection can be made to a special exchange point.
- This connection is made by printing on the coin holder in which the coin is located.
- the coin holder shows a change or violation after the initial withdrawal of the coin. This violation is visually recognizable in one case, in the other case it affects the functionality of the coin holder. For example, due to material fatigue, the coin is no longer held positively in the coin holder after repeated removal.
- this violation is irreversible, and the money holder can therefore only be used once. This will prevents the coin from simply being removed from the coin holder and the latter being carelessly thrown away.
- the immediate cancellation of the token when the coin is withdrawn is a motivation to keep the token as such.
- a preferred area of application of the token according to the invention is advertising.
- the special shape and the combination of a specific object, which is only recognized as a means of payment in one area, and a universally valid means of payment achieve various effects: the coin holder forms an advertising space on which the company logo and the intended use of the token are depicted.
- the token can also be given a higher value, a numerical or a goods value than the already integrated coin actually has.
- the token thus corresponds to a voucher which is also kept for the reasons mentioned above.
- the token has the shape and approximate size of a coin. She therefore recommends keeping the change in your wallet or wallet. There it is rediscovered with every payment. Due to its different shape and color, it draws attention to itself, so that the desired repeated contact with the advertising material occurs and the advertising object is memorized.
- FIG. 1 is a view of a token according to the invention from above;
- Figure 2 shows a cross section through the same token along line A-A of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section through a further embodiment of the token according to the invention.
- Figure 4 is a view of the token of Figure 3;
- FIG. 5 shows a view of a further embodiment of the token
- Figure 6 shows a cross section through a further embodiment of the token.
- the coin holder 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a token according to the invention. It consists of a coin holder 1 and a coin 2 held therein.
- the coin holder 1 is made of hard plastic, with the shape of a circular disk.
- the coin holder is made of metal or other solid materials.
- the height of the disc corresponds at least to the thickness of the coin 2 to be received, so that the coin does not form an increase in relation to the disc, but is completely accommodated in it. In general, the disc is even higher than the coin.
- the coin holder 1 has a recess 10 on, which corresponds at least in height and in diameter exactly to the coin 2 and is used to hold it.
- a radially projecting retaining edge 11 is formed in the upper region of the depression. This is beveled and springy so that the coin can be easily pushed into the recess. However, a coin located in the recess is held in position by the retaining edge 11, since the diameter of the coin is larger than the opening released by the retaining edge, which is not resilient in this direction.
- the retaining edge 11 is arranged around the entire circumference of the depression. In further examples, such a border is only present in partial areas.
- the coin 2 is completely received by the coin holder 1, one side of the coin 2 remaining visible.
- the coin 2 is pressed in so that the monetary value can be seen.
- the back 13 of the coin holder 1 is a flat, closed surface.
- the advertising slogan, the redemption location and the effective value of the token can be stated on this area.
- the peripheral edge 14, which surrounds the coin like a frame, can also be used as an advertising medium.
- the retaining edge 11 has predetermined breaking points 11 '. These can be seen in FIG. 2. If the coin is removed, the Hinchkalterand breaks off. The coin holder cannot hold more coins. The token is canceled because the functionality has been destroyed.
- the coin can only be removed by pressing on the back of the coin holder.
- the back breaks and the hole or broken piece of coin holder indicates that the token has been canceled. So that the coin can be pushed out more easily, the back can have predetermined breaking points, their destruction making the visual cancellation visible. In particular, it can have a thin point or a thin area
- the violation of the coin holder is thus of various types, but can always be clearly identified. It consists either of an optically visible injury or a destruction of the functionality.
- the coin holder has no retaining edge.
- the diameter of the recess has such manufacturing tolerances that the coin is held in a form-fitting manner.
- the coin can be removed by pressing on the back of the coin holder. Removing the coin one or more times results in material fatigue in the holder, so that the coin is no longer held.
- the coin holder 1 is designed in a ring-shaped manner, with a smoke holder edge 110 on both sides.
- the coin 2 is visible from both sides.
- the coin holder 1 comprises in a preferred embodiment, at least one radially running predetermined breaking point ⁇ HO to 1.
- ⁇ HO radially running predetermined breaking point
- FIG. 1 A further exemplary embodiment of the token is shown in FIG.
- the coin holder 1 has a slot-shaped insertion 15 for the coin 2 on the end face.
- Retention springs 120 are arranged in this introduction 15. They form an angle to the direction of insertion so that they allow the coin 2 to be inserted, but they prevent the coin from falling out.
- the retaining springs 120 can be removed. When the coin 2 is removed, they break off and the functionality of the token is in turn impaired.
- This embodiment also has one- or two-sided visibility of the coin.
- the coin is held in its position by a transparent disk pressed into the coin holder.
- the disc When removing the coin, the disc must be removed. This affects the functionality.
- the coin holder 1 is designed in two parts.
- a first part 1 ' has a shape similar to that of the coin holder shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the coin 2 is also held in a recess 10 in this first part 1 'of the coin holder.
- the coin holder 1 now has none O 95/26657 PO7IB95 / 00216
- Retaining edge but has a second part l 1 ', which is formed by an O-ring.
- This O-ring is under tension on the circumference of coin 2.
- the diameter of the recess is slightly 'slightly compress in this case greater than the diameter of the money für ⁇ piece 2, but sufficiently small to the O-ring L1.
- the coin 2 is thus part, on the one by the static friction between the second part l 1 ', the O-ring, and the first part 1' of the coin holder 1 and the other by the static friction between the O-ring and Geld ⁇ piece 2 in the coin holder 1 held. If the coin 2 is removed, the O-ring is simultaneously removed from the recess 10. Without this, however, the coin 2 cannot be held.
- the coin holder 1 therefore again has a functional injury.
- this violation is reversible. This means that even after a first removal of the coin, a coin provided with an O-ring can again be pressed into the coin holder and the token can be used again. This is particularly advantageous for those tokens which are put into circulation for charitable purposes and whose cost should be kept as low as possible.
