Description

ELEMENTO DE USO COMESTIBLE QUE INCLUYE UN CÓDIGO EDIBLE USE ITEM THAT INCLUDES A CODE
PREPAGOPREPAID
Esta invención tiene por objeto proporcionar una tarjeta de prepago que se caracteriza por una lámina comestible preferiblemente de tipo chicle, confitería, frunas, etc., presentados en una configuración laminada y protegidos por una cubierta anticontaminante.The purpose of this invention is to provide a prepaid card that is characterized by an edible foil preferably of chewing gum, confectionery, frunas, etc., presented in a laminated configuration and protected by an anti-pollution cover.
La característica principal radica en sustituir plenamente la conocida tarjeta de prepago con su código revelable por raspado, por una configuración tipo tarjeta, plana o laminar pero de carácter comestible tipo confite, en varios sabores, llevando igualmente el código de llamadas estampado en la superficie comestible o, si se quiere, en impresión aparte recubierta para conocimiento del usuario.The main feature lies in fully replacing the well-known prepaid card with its code revealing by scraping, with a card type configuration, flat or laminar but of an edible type confit, in several flavors, also carrying the calling code stamped on the edible surface or, if desired, in a separate coated print for user knowledge.
En sí, con el sistema de tarjetas prepago corrientes, el usuario compra por un determinado valor un código, acompañado de una forma plastificada impresa con un motivo y un código oculto, que por raspado de su superficie se revela al usuario.In itself, with the system of current prepaid cards, the user buys for a certain value a code, accompanied by a printed plasticized form with a motive and a hidden code, which by scraping its surface is revealed to the user.
El usuario puede llevar este código quedando la tarjeta impresa libre de utilización y sin utilidad aparente.The user can carry this code leaving the printed card free of use and without apparent utility.
Nuestro invento busca que ante lo desechable que pueda resultar el sistema de tarjetas actuales al alojar o memorizar el código en otro dispositivo, se provea al usuario una utilización mas práctica y de mejor gusto como puede ser una golosina o confite laminar tipo tarjeta cuyo código se inserta por troquel en la golosina convenientemente oculto y de solo uso para quien adquiera esta "tarjeta", introduzca el código revelado y luego consuma dicha tarjeta por su carácter comestible.Our invention seeks to see how disposable the current card system may be when hosting or memorizing the code in another device, provide the user with a more practical and tasteful use such as a candy or confit card type sheet whose code is inserted by die in the candy conveniently hidden and only for anyone who acquires this "card", enter the code revealed and then consume said card for its edible character.
La figura adjunta puede dar una clara idea del alcance propuesto en nuestra invención, en la cual nuestra "tarjeta" 10 es una forma laminada comestible de poco espesor, protegida para su comercialización por una cubierta o funda H sellada, dicha tarjeta o lámina comestible de confitura lleva en su superficie una porción 12 que indica en forma numérica un código cubierto por una tira 13 que oculte dicho código. Este código 12 puede ser impreso por estampación directa en la lámina comestible o ir aparte en una tira impresa 12 cubierta y separada de la lámina 10 y que el usuario revelará para sus marcaciones en el tiempo que se le asigne retirando la tirá 13.The attached figure can give a clear idea of the scope proposed in our invention, in which our "card" 10 is a thin edible laminated form, protected for sale by a sealed cover or holster, said edible card or foil of Confiture carries on its surface a portion 12 that indicates in numerical form a code covered by a strip 13 which conceals said code. This code 12 can be printed by direct stamping on the edible sheet or be separated on a printed strip 12 covered and separated from the sheet 10 and that the user will reveal for his markings in the time assigned by removing the strip 13.
En el caso del código impreso en la lámina comestible el usuario puede memorizarlo o registrarlo por aparte, o introducirlo a su teléfono celular o fijo prepago o consumir (a opción) la lámina o confite portador del código. De por si, en el sistema de tarjetas de prepago, lo que compra el usuario es un código de utilización para un determinado tiempo, impreso en una tarjeta plástica con motivos impresos. La novedad aquí planteada es que el usuario compre el código numérico, lo memorice y consuma el confite laminar en el que viene alojado.In the case of the code printed on the edible sheet, the user can memorize it or register it separately, or enter it to their prepaid cell phone or landline or consume (optionally) the sheet or confit carrier of the code. In itself, in the prepaid card system, what the user buys is a usage code for a certain time, printed on a plastic card with printed motifs. The novelty presented here is that the user buys the numerical code, memorizes it and consumes the laminar confit in which it is housed.
La tarjeta comestible aquí propuesta es una preparación convencional de la confitería, con una forma laminar de un espesor y consistencia que eviten su quebramiento, pastosa y con los sabores propios de la confitería seca, chiclets, chocolatinas , frunas, etc.The edible card proposed here is a conventional confectionery preparation, with a laminar shape of a thickness and consistency that prevents its breakage, pasty and with the flavors of dry confectionery, chiclets, chocolates, frunas, etc.
Se envuelven en cubiertas plásticas, opacas o transparentes y selladas y el usuario conocerá su código incorporado en dicha lámina comestible. Aparecen también el valor de la "tarjeta" comestible.They are wrapped in plastic, opaque or transparent and sealed covers and the user will know their code incorporated in said edible sheet. The value of the edible "card" also appears.
Su tamaño puede ser el mismo de las actuales tarjetas. El elemento comestible puede llevar motivos impresos por aparte que hagan atractiva su promoción comercial (estampas, postales, paisajes, retratos, etc ) Its size may be the same as the current cards. The edible element can carry separate printed motifs that make its commercial promotion attractive (prints, postcards, landscapes, portraits, etc.)
