Definitions

  • This invention broadly relates to commercial transaction forms and more particularly concerns a form implemented as a two separable, mother and counterfoil, sections, wherein said counterfoil section is separable from said mother section and is foldable and closeable, so as to be adapted to bear confidential information, intended to be only accessible to the addressee and final user of said section.
  • mother and counterfoil sections consisting of two sections, generally designated as mother and counterfoil sections, providing that the mother section is held by the party offering a service or a product, while the counterfoil section is held by the party receiving and utilizing said service or product.
  • This object is achieved by means of a two separable, mother and counterfoil, section form, with self-enveloping counterfoil section, adapted to bear confidential information, wherein said mother section is realized as a single piece and is connected to the counterfoil section by means of a transversal tear line, while the counterfoil section consists of multiple portions successively foldable along folding lines, respectively, said counterfoil section having marginal glue stripes along its longitudinal edges, so as to leave a central glue-free area, and suitably positioned for maintaining said component portions in closed and glued condition along a first and a second longitudinal sides, as well as two longitudinal tear lines intended to separate the central area from the marginal glue stripes in order to permit said counterfoil section to be opened and said component portions thereof to be unfolded.
  • Figure 1 is a view of the form according to this invention in unfolded condition
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing a second embodiment
  • Figure 3 is a view of a form according to this invention, either in its first or in its second embodiment, in folded and closed condition.
  • the form according to this invention comprises a mother section A and a counterfoil section B, connected along a transversal tear line 10.
  • the mother section A is made as a single portion and includes, in addition to a serial number, by which the concerned commercial transaction is biuniquely identified, all information needed in said transaction. This section is held by the party offering the service or the product of the transaction.
  • the counterfoil section B is the section that is held by the party purchasing the product or utilizing the service and it is the section that possibly includes personalized or confidential information which should be accessible only to said user party.
  • the sale of subscription to information access services can be mentioned, wherein it is required that special telephone numbers be called and/or special access and/or identification codes be assigned.
  • a further example that can be mentioned is the case of the sale of instantaneous lottery tickets of the so-called "scrape-and-win" type, wherein the winning information should be inaccessible and unknown till after the sale and only after the sale is perfected the purchaser can gain access to the information.
  • the counterfoil section B is divided in three portions 11 , 12 and 13 that can be folded upon themselves by means of successive folding operations, such that, upon completing the folding operations, the external portion 13 is closed inwardly and, therefore, it is hidden and the whole assembly appears as it is shown in Figure 3. Aiming at achieving this effect, two folding lines 14 and 15 are provided.
  • two longitudinal marginal tear lines 16 and 17 are provided, extending along the whole length of said counterfoil section B.
  • Suitable glue stripes are provided in convenient positions at the free margins between the longitudinal tear lines 16 and 17 and the adjacent edges, in order to close the edges of the counterfoil section B upon folding it..
  • the glue stripes are applied to the upper margins (with respect to the drawing sheet) as far as portions 12 and 13 are concerned, for the first folding operation, and to the upper margins of portion 11 and to the lower margins of portion 13, for the second folding operation.
  • portions 11 , 12 and 13 effectively form a closed self-enveloping section and, as such, they are adapted to include confidential information access to which can be gained only by opening said section.
  • the concerned commercial transaction will be perfected by separating folded, closed and glued counterfoil section B from its mother section A and by delivering it to the purchaser or user of the service or product.
  • the purchaser or user will divide the glued margins by means of a tear operation along said tear lines 16 and 17 and he/she can thereby unfold said three portions 11, 12 and 13 and gain access to the contents thereof.
  • one of said three portions for instance portion 13, which will be placed inwardly, upon being unfolded, can be used as a card, such as a credit card or like, and it can be made separable by the remaining portions by implementing said folding line 15 as a tear line, as well.
  • said folding line 15 as a tear line, as well.
