Definitions
- the present invention relates to a kit to enable one to send a message with the help of a postcard or a similar postal item to visually impaired or blind persons who have the ability to read Braille characters produced with the help of a template which exhibits reversed dot-shaped holes corresponding to the characters in the Braille alphabet.
- Fig. 3 shows the other side of such a post card
- Fig. 4 shows a pressure tool viewed from one of its long sides
- the aforementioned sheet-shaped underlay 6 exhibits a thickness X of a few millimetres and is of sufficient density to permit the pressure tool 7 to be pressed with its tip part 8 into the material in the sheet 6 without major difficulty. The thickness X of the sheet will then exceed the effective length L of the pressure tool 7.
- Two "post cards” made of a PVC-containing paper (or a paper of equivalent quality with characteristics which make the paper tough) , measuring 122 x 167 mm.
- a punching template made of plastic film with holes punched in accordance with the Braille alphabet.
- a 2.5 mm thick sheet of cellular plastic A 2.5 mm thick sheet of cellular plastic.
- the use of this soft material as the underlay for the "post card” allows the tip of the punching pin to produce an indentation in the "post card”.
- Format 122 x 167 mm Naturally, the thickness of the underlay sheet can vary from only a few millimetres up to several millimetres, for example ca . 1.7 mm, which is another appropriate thickness.
- the format, 122 x 167 mm is the standard format for post cards and means that the products will fit in existing post card display stands.
- the paper is characterized by the fact that it is tough and does not puncture easily when it is subjected to the pressure applied by the tip of the punching pin. A properly executed punching pin will also produce a properly executed point on the paper.
- the format of the post card can thus also be varied from larger than or smaller than the indicated size, for example in order to conform to the standard for letters and other postal items in a particular country.
- the alphabet on this punching template is reversed, because the points must be read on the rear of the paper that is embossed with the help of the template, where the points appear in the right order.
- the Braille characters are similarly written from right to left.
- the punching template is preferably executed in 0.42 mm thick plastic film (similar to overhead film, but about twice the thickness) .
- the right- hand corner of the punching template is provided with perforations. With the help of these, the writer of the post card can tear off two "stamps", which provide evidence of postage for the post card.
- the punching pin is executed in plastic with a tip of ca. 2 mm in length and with a rounded end. This rounding is in accordance with the standard used on so-called styluses.
- a stylus is used by the visually impaired to write Braille characters when they do not have access to special typewriters for the purpose.
- the diameter of the tip allows it to be pushed through the holes stamped n the punching template.
- the "handle" of the punching pm is 2.5 mm thick.
