[0008]
[Action]
In the present invention, the film having the scratch layer is adhered onto the information recording medium on which the concealment information is recorded, and the concealment information is concealed by the scratch layer. Therefore, the concealment information on the information recording medium can be concealed by the scratch layer without providing the scratch layer directly on the information recording medium. A film having a scratch layer is used for temporarily concealing concealment information recorded on an information recording medium. Accordingly, since the scratch layer is not directly provided on the concealment information of the information recording medium by a dedicated printing apparatus or the like, the scratch layer can be provided on the concealment information while keeping the concealment of the concealment information.
[0009]
Here, the information recording medium on which the concealment information is recorded and the film provided with the scratch layer are formed separately, and the film is adhered onto the information recording medium so that the concealment information is covered with the scratch layer. Therefore, since the scratch layer is not provided directly on the concealment information of the information recording medium with a dedicated printing device or the like, the concealment of the concealment information of the information recording medium can be maintained. When an attempt is made to peel off the adhered film on the information recording medium, the film is broken or plastically deformed before the film is peeled off. Therefore, since the film cannot be peeled cleanly from the information recording medium, it is possible to improve the confidentiality of the concealment information and prevent falsification of the concealment information.
Further, attribute information relating to the information recording medium is recorded on the magnetic layer of the information recording medium. Therefore, the information recording medium can be mechanically processed by the attribute information recorded on the magnetic layer.
[0010]
On the other hand, the issuer of the information recording medium outsources the scratch layer forming step and performs the concealment information recording step and the adhering step, so that it is not necessary to deliver the concealment information recorded to the outside. Therefore, a scratch layer can be provided while keeping the concealment information confidential.
[0011]
【Example】
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view and a side sectional view showing the structure of a lottery 20 which is a first embodiment of an information recording medium having a scratch layer according to the present invention. The base material 21 is formed from a paper material (continuous body or sheet-like body). On the base material 21, common information 23a such as characters and pictures, and concealment information 23b such as “1st grade” and “2nd grade” are recorded. These pieces of information 23a and 23b are printed by handwriting, printing or printing on a printer or the like. The printing method here may be any method such as NIP, dot impact, thermal, thermal transfer, or the like.
[0012]
Further, a transparent or translucent film 24 is adhered to the region including the concealment information 23b by an adhesive 25. The film 24 is formed from a brittle material or a ductile material. The adhesive 25 is transparent or translucent and is a strong adhesive type (non-peelable). As the adhesive 25, a pressure bonding type or a heat fusion type can be used.
A scratch printing layer 26 is provided in an area covering the area where the concealment information 23 b is provided on the film 24. The scratch print layer 26 is a print layer that has the concealability (opacity) of the base (the concealment information 23b) and is scraped off (scratched) by rubbing with a nail or a coin. When the scratch print layer 26 is scratched, the concealment information 23b becomes visible from the outside.
[0013]
The ink for forming the scratch printing layer 26 is a rubber-based natural resin (natural rubber, hydrochloric acid rubber, etc.) or a diene-based resin (polybutadiene, styrene / butadiene copolymer, acrylonitrile / butadiene copolymer, polyisoprene, polychloroprene, etc.) In addition, an acrylic resin and a vinyl resin are used as a vehicle (a component for transferring and fixing the pigment to the printing surface). Further, the scratch printing layer 26 is made of 40-60 metal fine powders (aluminum fine powder, brass fine powder, copper fine powder, etc.) as colorants, oxidized fine powders thereof, etc., in order to obtain the concealability of the base. Contains by weight. Moreover, in order to improve the concealability of the foundation | substrate of the scratch printing layer 26, you may contain 1-2 weight% of barium sulfate, a calcium carbonate, etc. By forming the scratch printing layer 26 from the above composition, both the printability and the scratch property can be satisfied.
[0014]
Next, a method for manufacturing the lottery 20 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the common information 23a and the concealment information 23b are recorded by printing or the like in a predetermined region on the surface side of the base material 21 (concealment information recording step). The concealment information 23b is recorded in a predetermined concealment scheduled area (in the broken line area in the figure).
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the film 24 is formed in a predetermined size and is sequentially stuck on the continuous peeling member 27. An adhesive 25 is provided on the peeling member 27 side of the film 24, and the adhesive 25 and the peeling layer 27b provided on the base material 27a of the peeling member 27 are detachably adhered. Here, when the adhesive 25 is of a heat fusion type, the peeling member 27 is unnecessary. Further, the above-described scratch printing layer 26 is provided in a predetermined region of the film 24 (scratch printing layer forming step). The scratch print layer 26 is formed at three locations so as to correspond to the concealment information 23b. The scratch printing layer 26 is generally printed by silk screen printing. The film 24 is peeled off from the peeling member 27 and bonded onto the substrate 21 shown in FIG. 2 (bonding process). Here, the bonding may be performed manually or using a dedicated sticking machine (labeler). The film 24 is bonded so that each scratch printing layer 26 covers the concealment information 23b. Therefore, the concealment information 23b is not visible from the outside. Thereby, the lottery 20 shown in FIG. 1 is completed.
[0015]
Thus, since the scratch print layer 26 is not directly formed on the base material 21, the issuer of the lottery 20 manufactures a medium on which the concealment information 23b is recorded on the base material 21, and the film 24 manufactured by a dedicated printer. What is necessary is just to purchase what provided the scratch printing layer 26 on top, and to adhere | attach this on the base material 21. FIG. Therefore, since it is not necessary to pass the base material 21 on which the concealment information 23b is recorded to an external supplier, the scratch print layer 26 can be provided while maintaining the concealment of the concealment information 23b.
[0016]
If the lottery 20 is scraped off by scratching the scratch printing layer 26, the concealment information 23b on the lower side can be seen. Here, if the film 24 can be peeled cleanly from the substrate 21, the concealment information 23b can be seen without scraping off the scratch printing layer 26, and tampering can be performed. However, the film 24 is formed of a brittle material or a ductile material, and is ruptured or plastically deformed with a force weaker than the peeling force from the base material 21 of the film 24. That is, when the film 24 is peeled from the substrate 21, the film 24 is cut or stretched before the film 24 is peeled off. Therefore, the film 24 cannot be peeled cleanly from the substrate 21, and the concealment information 23b cannot be viewed unless the scratch printing layer 26 is substantially scraped off. Further, if the adhesive 25 is of a strong adhesive type, when the film 24 is peeled from the base material 21, it is not peeled between the film 24 and the base material 21, and is torn between the paper fiber layers of the base material 21, so that Similar effects can be obtained.

For example, if the address of the recipient of the card 30 is printed on the mount 40, the address can be enclosed in an envelope with a window so that it can be seen from the outside, and can be sent to the recipient.
[0021]
As mentioned above, although one Example of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the Example mentioned above, A various deformation | transformation is possible within the range which does not deviate from the summary. For example, if a cut is made in the film 24, the film 24 can be surely torn from the position of the cut when peeled off from the base material 21 and the card base material 31. Tampering and the like can be prevented more reliably. Similarly, if the adhesive strength of the adhesive 25 is partially changed, a part of the film 24 can remain on the base material 21 and the card base material 31 when the film 24 is peeled off.
[0022]
The film 24 only needs to be transparent or translucent at least in the area located above the concealment information 23b and 33, and may not be all transparent or translucent. Moreover, the film 24 does not need to cover the substantially whole surface of the base material 21 and the card base material 31, and may be a size that covers at least the upper part of the concealment information 23b and 33.
