Abstract

The invention concerns a token in two parts (1, 4), one inner and one outer assembled by their matching shape over an adequate length of their periphery such that the two parts are maintained assembled but can be separated by simple pressure of the finger. Each part (1, 4) bears a code (3, 6), the codes being in their mutual extension.

Description

Jeton en deux parties Two-part token
La présente invention se rapporte aux jetons Contre remise d'un jeton, son propriétaire reçoit une marchandise ou il lui est fourni un service ou un droit d'entrée L'accumulation des jetons qui ont été remis permet a celui qui vend une marchandise de savoir ce qui a été vendu et de se réapprovisionner ou de connaître le nombre de personnes qui ont assisté à une manifestation ou qui ont reçu une prestation On peut souhaiter récompenser les acheteurs ou usagers qui ont utilisé beaucoup de jetonsThe present invention relates to tokens Against delivery of a token, its owner receives goods or is provided with a service or entry fee The accumulation of tokens that have been given allows those who sell goods to know what was sold and restock or know the number of people who attended an event or who received a service We may wish to reward buyers or users who have used many tokens
L'invention y pourvoit par un jeton, peu coûteux a fabriquer etThe invention provides for this by means of a token, inexpensive to manufacture and
10 très simple à manipuler, qui est en deux parties intérieure et extérieure assemblées par complémentarité de forme, de préférence sur une longueur suffisante du pourtour de la partie intérieure et en un matériau susceptible de céder suffisamment élastiquement pour que la partie intérieure reste, maigre son poids, retenue dans la partie extérieure par des forces de frottement mais i -s s'en détache sous la simple pression du doigt II est prévu des moyens d'indexation de la partie intérieure sur la partie extérieure et un code est apposé sur chaque partie Lorsque les parties sont assemblées les deux codes sont dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre en étant de préférence adjacents. 0 A présentation d'un jeton dans un magasin, un lecteur de code t les deux codes d'une façon très aisée puisqu'ils sont l'un à la suite de l'autre Le premier code sur la partie intérieure correspond à une identité de client, tandis que le code apposé sur la partie extérieure caractérise la marchandise qui est achetée ou un prix L'ordinateur de caisse reçoit ainsi en entrée un10 very simple to handle, which is in two inner and outer parts assembled by complementary shape, preferably over a sufficient length of the periphery of the inner part and in a material capable of yielding sufficiently elastically so that the inner part remains, lean sound weight, retained in the outer part by friction forces but i -s detaches under the simple pressure of the finger II is provided for indexing means of the inner part on the outer part and a code is affixed on each part When the parts are assembled the two codes are in line with one another, preferably being adjacent. 0 When presenting a token in a store, a code reader t the two codes in a very easy way since they are one after the other The first code on the interior part corresponds to an identity customer, while the code affixed on the outside characterizes the goods that are purchased or a price The cash register computer thus receives as input
2 code représentatif de l'identité du client et peut se reporter immédiatement a sa mémoire pour savoir que ce même client a déjà acheté d'autres marchandises et qu'il a droit à une prime2 code representative of the identity of the client and can immediately refer to his memory to know that this same customer has already bought other goods and that he is entitled to a bonus
Suivant un mode de réalisation particulièrement préfère, la partie extérieure est annulaire et la partie intérieure a la forme d'un disque Mais on -> peut concevoir également que l'une des parties soit rectangulaire et l'autre circulaire ou qu'elles soient toutes deux rectangulaires ou carrées ou toute autre forme permettant un maintien suffisant de la partie intérieure dans la partie extérieure II n'est pas non plus absolument nécessaire que la partie extérieure enferme entièrement la partie intérieure, pourvu que le pourtour de 0 maintien soit suffisantAccording to a particularly preferred embodiment, the outer part is annular and the inner part has the shape of a disc. But it is also possible to conceive that one of the parts is rectangular and the other circular or that they are all two rectangular or square or any other shape allowing sufficient retention of the interior part in the exterior part It is also not absolutely necessary that the exterior portion completely encloses the interior portion, provided that the circumference of 0 retention is sufficient
On réalise de préférence les jetons en carton ou en une matière plastique souplePreferably the tokens are made of cardboard or a flexible plastic material
La figure unique est une vue en perspective d'un jeton en deux parties alors qu'elles sont désassemblées 5 Le jeton représenté a la figure comprend une partie 1 intérieure en forme de disque en carton Le disque 1 comporte un évidemment 2 Un code barre 3 est apposé sur la partie 1The single figure is a perspective view of a token in two parts while they are disassembled 5 The token shown in the figure includes an inner part 1 in the form of a cardboard disc The disc 1 has an obviously 2 A bar code 3 is affixed on part 1
Le jeton comporte également une partie 4 extérieure annulaire également en carton La partie 4 comporte une saillie 5 conjuguée de 0 l'évidement 2 Le pourtour extérieur du disque 1 est d'un diamètre sensiblement égal au diamètre intérieur de l'anneau 4 en sorte que, lorsque le disque 1 est placé dans l'anneau 4, il y reste retenu, malgré son poids, par les forces de frottement qui s'appliquent entre la face latérale extérieure du disque 1 et la tranche intérieure de l'anneau 4 Mais par une simple pression du doigt, ι le disque 1 peut être détaché de l'anneau 4The token also includes an outer annular part 4 also made of cardboard. The part 4 has a projection 5 combined with 0 the recess 2. The outer periphery of the disc 1 is of a diameter substantially equal to the internal diameter of the ring 4 so that , when the disc 1 is placed in the ring 4, it remains retained there, despite its weight, by the friction forces which apply between the outer lateral face of the disc 1 and the inner edge of the ring 4 But by at the touch of a finger, the disc 1 can be detached from the ring 4
L'anneau 4 comporte un code barre 6 qui, lorsque les deux parties 1 et 4 sont assemblées alors que l'évidement 2 et la saillie 5 sont conjugués, vient dans le prolongement du code barre 3 The ring 4 includes a bar code 6 which, when the two parts 1 and 4 are assembled while the recess 2 and the projection 5 are combined, comes in the extension of the bar code 3
