FR2780191A1 - Adhesive label for motor vehicle insurance windscreen display - Google Patents

Abstract

The adhesive insurance label for a vehicle has a certificate (3) visible through the windscreen. The certificate is glued onto a label which also adheres the assembly to the windscreen. The label has peripheral sections (5) which are partially cut out and retained onto the windscreen by glue.

Description

The invention relates to an adhesive sticker comprising a returned certificate.

  flammable intended to be visible on, or through the support on which said vi-

gnette is affixed.

  In order to facilitate controls, certain regulations oblige the owner of a vehicle to stick visibly on it, a certificate proving that he is up to date with his insurance company vis-à-vis said vehicle, or that he has well

  performed a technical check, or paid a certain fee, ...

  The certificate may in particular mention a period of validity, a vehicle identification number, etc. The certificate affixed to the vehicle does not generally exempt the holder

  also to have a certificate or receipt.

  The certificate or receipt takes at least part of the information from the certificate and these two elements are generally edited or completed at the same time

  time and they can obviously be part of the same document.

  ! 5 In the case of an automobile, the certificate is affixed to its windshield, the

  front printed on the inside of said windshield in order to be visible from the outside

  laughing. In general, this application can be extended to any vehicle fitted with a windshield, including therefore boats, etc. For a motorcycle or trailer, governed at least in part by the

  same rules, the certificate is applied, for example, on the mudguard.

  Various systems are known. For example, a system consists in providing an adhesive and transparent pocket to stick on the windshield of the automobile or the mudguard of the motorcycle in which it suffices to slip the certificate while making visible the printed side ( some pockets, only one side of which is transparent, are then intended for a single type of vehicle with or without a windscreen). Such a system is expensive, all the more so unless unless a new one is distinguished

  insured and / or a new vehicle from an old one, we often provide a new po-

  check for each certificate for a contractual period. In addition, for a motorcycle, the pocket is not really protective, in particular against theft,

  but also against deterioration due to bad weather since it is necessary-

open on one side.

  This is why we have imagined other systems such as, for example, that described in the French patent application published under the number 2,581,226 intended for affixing only on windshields, or even according to the published French patent. under the number 2 593 120 in which the sticker includes a label (certificate)

  which is stuck by its back on a transparent adhesive sheet intended to be stuck

  itself on the windshield of the vehicle, or, after turning over, on a motorcycle

  clette. Whether it is the open pocket system or the systems according to

  aforementioned patents, the visible side of the certificate is never falsely protected

  reliable when it comes to affixing it to a windshield. In particular, there are risks

fraud.

  This is in particular the reason why we imagined the system described in

  the patent published under number 2 165 343 which overcomes some of the disadvantages

mentioned above.

  The system described in the aforementioned document makes the certificate inviolable because

  that the face of the certificate is applied to a transparent adhesive element

  tection. In this way, we understand that any attempt to remove the element

  protective adhesive destroys said certificate.

  To further improve the inviolability of such a certificate, or to make inviolable or tamper-proof in a simple manner a certificate affixed in the manner described in the aforementioned document 2,593,120, that is to say applied directly to its support, its useful face then not being protected (in the case of an affixing to a windshield),

  the inventor imagined a particularly simple system.

  It must be understood that the support on which is affixed such a vi-

  gnette is quite ordinary. Indeed, for a transparent surface, it can be a windshield, but it can also, of course, be a fixed installation such as a showcase, a window, or the like. In general, any surface can be considered since the invention also relates to the application of the sticker on a non-support.

  transparent, in particular for the application, as mentioned above, for motorcycles and

your.

  In addition, it should be noted that the vocabulary used here may be different

  from the literature on this subject, given the extreme variety of words used

  often refer to the same things.

  This is how the word certificate should be understood as a sticker for certain

  tains (here the word sticker designates a whole) or badge, or label, receipt, attestation, ... The sticker according to the invention comprising a certificate applied and stuck on an adhesive label of which a free part is intended to serve as a zone adhesive for

  fixing the sticker on the support, is remarkable in that the part of the label consists

  killing the adhesive area of the sticker on the support, is provided on its periphery with small areas partially cut out, so that any attempt to remove

  of the sticker of its support causes it to peel off with the exception of the zo-

  nes cut which remain stuck on the support.

  We understand that any removal makes it very difficult, if not impossible,

  any subsequent repositioning of the sticker.

  According to one embodiment, the partially cut zones are of

  ture to cause a tearing of the label in case of removal thereof by peel-

is lying.

  For a sticker with the adhesive label, on which the certificate is applied

  qué, is a simple sheet provided with an adhesive side and of dimensions larger than those of said certificate whose front or back is stuck on said adhesive face, the zone of the label which overflows from the surface of the certificate constituting the adhesive zone for attaching the sticker to the support, said overflowing adhesive zone is provided

  small, partially cut areas.

  In this way, from a classic sticker whose certificate is falsifiable, except in the case where it is the front which is stuck (for motorcycles for example), one obtains

  a sticker whose certificate becomes difficult to forge due to the bonding

  license, or even almost impossible, of the sticker after its removal.

  In the previous case, if the front of the certificate is also provided with an element

  added and glued protective ment, it nevertheless strengthens with the invention

  falsifiable character of the sticker.

  This is particularly the case for a particular type of sticker, the adhesive label of which is transparent and forms a diptych, the two parts of which are at least

  unequal widths, the dimensions of the small flap being at least equal to those of the

  tificate which is intended to be placed between the adhesive faces of the two flaps folded over one another by folding around their separation line, so that each of the faces of the certificate is coated by one of the flaps of the '' label, which thus forms for the certificate, a closed and glued pocket, while the area of the largest flap which extends beyond the surface of the small flap serves as an adhesive area for fixing the sticker

  on the support, this protruding adhesive zone being provided with small zones

partially cut.

  In this case and according to a first embodiment, the back of the certificate is

  applied manufacturing on the largest flap of the label, while a pro-

  removable cover is provided to protect before folding the adhesive side of the small flap and the projecting part of the adhesive side of the large flap, the cut areas being provided on the latter but not on the protective element, while according to another embodiment , the back of the certificate is applied during manufacture to the small flap of the label, while a removable protective element is provided to protect before folding the adhesive side of the large flap and the possibly overhanging part of the adhesive side of the small flap, the cut areas being provided on the large flap

  but not on the protective element.

  In the latter two cases and according to a variant, the back of the certificate is

  treated to be slightly adhesive so that it can be easily turned over before folding and ra-

  flap of the label flaps on top of each other. Advantageously then, the certificate

  consists of a cut or precut area of the protective element removed

corn.

  According to another embodiment, the entire surface of the adhesive face of

  the label includes a removable protective element, cut or pre-cut on the

  placement of the certificate provided on the small or large flap, so that it can apply

  quer said certificate, not provided at this place of manufacture, after removal of the par-

  corresponding tie of the protective element, but before removal of the rest of the said

protective element.

  The invention will be clearly understood on reading the description which follows and

  which refers to the accompanying drawings in which: - Figures 1 and 2 respectively show the front and back of a sheet intended to include a sticker according to the invention, - Figures 3 and 4 correspond to Figures 1 and 2 according to a another embodiment, FIGS. 5 and 6 schematize two successive stages of production of the sticker of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2,

  - Figures 7 and 8 correspond to Figures 5 and 6 for the embodiment

tion of Figures 3 and 4,

  FIGS. 9 and 10 show the thumbnail of FIGS. 1 to 8 respectively ap-

  folded on its support and being removed.

  Figures 1 to 5 and Figure 7 show a sheet 1 provided with a front la (Figures 1, 3, 5, 7) and a back lb (Figures 2, 4, 5, 7), the latter being treated at least in part to be slightly adhesive (silicone coating for example) and to receive the

  adhesive side of a transparent label 2 (Figures 1 to 10).

  As the figures show, the label 2, of which only the face applied to the back of the sheet 1b is adhesive, has the form of a diptych consisting of

  two flaps 2a, 2b, one of which 2a has at least a smaller width and preferably

  rence also a height less than the corresponding dimensions of the other flap 2b. Thus, the sheet 1 constitutes a protective element for the adhesive face of

Label 2.

  As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the sheet 1 has a rectangular cutout or precut opposite the large flap 2b (Figures 1 and 2) or the small flap 2a (Figures 3 and 4), one of the edges of this cutout being substantially coincident with the fictitious line of separation 4 of the flaps 2a and 2b. This cutting or precut forms an element 3 intended to constitute a certificate, or the location of a certificate,

as will be explained below.

  In all cases, the dimensions of the small flap 2a are at least equal to those of the element 3 (and preferably greater, especially in the case of the mode of

realization of Figures 3 and 4).

  Indeed, manufacturing, the back of the sheet 1 can constitute by its ele

  ment 3, a pre-cut certificate, which can be completed manually or manually

  China. In this case, the back of element 3 may not be treated with non-stick (the

  sheet 1 then being treated with non-stick by area).

  On the contrary, according to a variant, the entire surface of the back of the sheet 1 can

  be treated with non-stick so that item 3 can be an easy certificate-

  returnable or a protective element intended to protect the intended location

  for a certificate from a more complete document or from another document.

  Furthermore, in the figures, it can be seen that the flap 2b of the label 2 has at its periphery and on three sides, with the exception of the side contiguous to the flap 2a,

  small zones 5 partially cut out, that is to say with a few attachment points

  ches, for the reasons which will be developed below, said zones 5 not being

  formed on the sheet 1 forming the protective element.

  In the examples shown, the zones 5 are in the form of diamonds, but they can of course be of any other shape.

  Figures 5 to 8 show schematically the use of the preceding embodiments

as described.

  Depending on the case, a first step prior to FIGS. 5 and 7 may be necessary.

  stop. Indeed, if the element 3 of FIGS. 1 to 4 constitutes a protective element for the zone intended to receive the certificate, it is necessary beforehand to remove said element 3 in order to place the certificate originating therefrom, either by its side. front, either by sound

  back side, and we then find ourselves at the stage of Figures 5 and 7.

  If the certificate consists of manufacturing in sheet 1, we find ourselves

  directly at the stage of FIGS. 5 and 7, after possible retouremnement of said certificate.

  Then simply remove the rest of the protective sheet 1 (Figures 5, 7) and fold the small flap 2a of the transparent label 2 on the flap 2b (Figures 6 and 8)

  around a fold line which coincides with the line of separation 4 of the two flaps.

  In the case of FIG. 6, the certificate 3 is already pasted on the large flap 2b and it is the small flap 2a which overlaps, while in the case of FIG. 8,

  certificate 3 is already stuck on the small part 2a. In all cases, this is the part

  bordering the large shutter 2b relative to the shutter 2a which allows the sticker to be stuck on its support and as the figures show, it is precisely this overflowing part

  which presents the zones 5 partially cut out.

  It is important to note that the certificate can be of manufacture on the large shutter 2b (figures 1, 2, 5 and 6) or the small shutter 2a (figures 3, 4, 7 and 8), and that it can be returnable or not (by processing its back). On the contrary, element 3 can only constitute a protective element for a certificate applied by its front or its

  back after removal of said protective element.

  Thus, it is clear that the sticker in FIG. 6 constitutes a sticker for a transparent surface if the certificate 3 is stuck on the flap 2b by its back (certificate not returned) or a sticker for a non-transparent surface otherwise

(certificate pasted by its front).

  Conversely, the sticker in FIG. 8 constitutes a sticker for a non-transparent surface if the certificate 3 is stuck on the flap 2a by its back (certificate not returned) or a sticker for a transparent surface in the opposite case.

(certificate pasted by its front).

  We understand that after sealing, we obtain a falsifiable document (the

  indicative side of the certificate being stuck on an adhesive side of the transparent label

  annuity), and which is perfectly waterproof.

  Figures 9 and 10 show the thumbnail of the embodiments described above.

  ceded, applied to its support, which is considered to be represented

  by the sheet of paper itself, on which said figures are drawn.

  It is understood that in the event of detachment of the large flap 2b glued to said support

  o10 port by its aforementioned projecting part, the cut out areas 5 remain stuck on the

  support, as shown in Figure 10.

  In this case, the partially cut zones 5 remain glued, forming pads 5 'on the support, while the flap 2b then has holes 5 "

as shown in Figure 10.

  In this way, after complete removal of the sticker, it is very difficult, even im-

  possible, to correctly reposition the sticker by wanting to match the 5 "holes with the 5 'pads, automatically showing this attempt at removal which

  could be indelicate in nature.

  In addition, to further strengthen the tamper-proof nature, the zones 5 may

  wind be made of a shape and a frequency which cause a tearing of the eti

  quette in case of removal by detachment.

  If in the embodiments described, the indicative side of the certificate is covered with a transparent element glued to make it tamper-proof, we understand

  that the invention also relates to a simpler sticker which would not for example include

  pie that the flap 2b of Figures 5 and 6.

  Indeed in this case, as already said, the certificate 3 is in the same way

  stuck on said flap 2b (not necessarily transparent) by its back (certificate not

  turned) for a transparent surface, or by its front for a transparent surface

annuity.

  We understand that in the first case, the indicative side of the direct certificate-

  ment applied to a windshield for example, would then be easily falsifiable without the invention.

  To return to the embodiments more specifically described in the figures

  res, if a bonding is also desired on at least part of the fourth side of the small flap 2a, the certificate can be slightly offset from the line of separation and folding 4 of the flaps while said small flap can, by example, include in the vicinity of this line 4, a window (an additional collage of the large shutter 2b

  on the support made by this window).

  Furthermore, it is quite clear that other means can be provided without departing from the scope of the invention. Sheet 1 as shown in these examples can of course be part of a more complete document comprising, for example, the certificate to be moved to the bonding area or other elements which together contain certain indications for

  form receipts, duplicates, or other.

  In addition, it is also possible to provide drive means for printers, etc.

  In the embodiments described, part of the sheet 1 may consist

  kill both a protective element for the adhesive side of flap 2a of the label

  but also, for example, a secondary certificate to keep (receipt or other).

  In this case, said secondary certificate can be retrievable by means, for example,

of a breaking line.

  In the case of the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, one can also provide an extension of the shutter 2a (but it could be shutter 2b), intended to receive another document (duplicate for example), which can also be kept after turning and gluing on said extension which is then separated from said flap 2a by a breaking line. The above-mentioned document can of course be made directly

  by the protective element of said extension.

  It is therefore clear that the invention relates to the affixing of any certificate on any medium, but applies particularly well to vehicles which must visibly include certificates of insurance, technical control, payment of taxes, etc.
