Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composite stamp.
- the invention furthermore relates to a sticker and also to a method for producing the composite stamp.
- a postal item such as a letter or postcard, or also printed matter that is sent by post, is generally processed by automated means in sorting machines and other mail processing machines.
- the invention advantageously provides a storage space for the enclosed object, which storage space is deformable and can remain connected to the stamp during a bending of the composite stamp.
- the adhesive part of the sticker is provided with a raised edge, so that it is advantageously ensured that the composite stamp according to the present invention is reinforced.
- the layer of the storage part is thinner than the connecting part of the layer of the adhesive part. This advantageously leads to a volume being formed for the storage part.
- the sticker is made to comprise an optically transparent material. This makes it possible for the contents of the storage part and/or the stamp underneath to be visible.
- an embossing to be provided in the stamp in which the sticker is placed. In this way a simplified fit of the sticker on the stamp can be achieved. It can also be ensured in this way that the filling of the storage part is simplified.
- the present invention relates to a sticker according to Claim 17.
- the present invention also relates to a method for producing the composite stamp according to Claim 18.
- Figure 1 shows a top view of a composite stamp according to the present invention
- Figure 2 shows a side view of the composite stamp according to Figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 shows a side view of a composite stamp according to a further embodiment
- Figure 4 shows a side view of a composite stamp according to yet a further embodiment
- Figure 5 shows a side view of a composite stamp according to yet another embodiment
- Figure 6 shows a side view of a composite stamp according to a further embodiment
- Figure 7 shows a top view of a stamp sheet provided with composite stamps according to the present invention
- Figure 8 shows a side view of a composite stamp according to a further embodiment.
- Figure 1 shows a top view of a composite stamp according to the invention.
- the composite stamp 1 comprises a stamp 2 and a layered sticker 3.
- the sticker 3 comprises an adhesive part 4 and a storage part 5.
- the adhesive part 4 of the sticker 3 is provided with an adhesive on one side and is connected by said adhesive to a surface of the stamp 2.
- the adhesive part 4 also surrounds the storage part 5, which does not have any adhesive 5 on its surface and is consequently not connected to the surface of the stamp. A hollow can therefore be formed between the surface of the stamp 2 and the storage part.
- Suitable objects can be accommodated in the hollow, as will be explained in greater detail below.
- the sticker 3 is made of a plastic material with such properties that an elastic deformation of the sticker can occur during automated mail processing.
- the elastic deformation that is possible prevents the sticker from becoming detached from the stamp or prevents damage from occurring to the composite stamp during mail processing.
- the sticker can be made of an optically transparent material. This means that contents of the storage part and/or the surface of the stamp underneath can be visible.
- Figure 2 shows a cross section of the composite stamp 1 along line II - II. 20
- the sticker 3 is affixed on the stamp 2.
- the adhesive part 4 is connected to the surface of the stamp 2 at boundary face 4a.
- the dimensions of the sticker 3, and in particular of the 5 adhesive part 4 are selected in such a way that the forces which can occur on the surface of the stamp (i.e. boundary face 4a) during the deformation do not lead to the stamp 2 tearing or to the sticker 3 being torn off the stamp 2.
- the storage part 5 is designed not to adhere to the surface of the stamp 2, so that the 0 hollow 6 is produced between the storage part and the stamp.
- One or more suitable objects 6a can be accommodated in the hollow 6.
- Said objects 6a can be selected from, for example, a group comprising plant seeds, minerals, miniatures, ground products (such as coffee), herbs or herb mixtures, soil samples (for example from 5 a particular archaeological site such as a native soil) etc.
- a selection of these objects 6a can be determined by the fact that the objects and/or materials that are suitable may represent a particular use or a particular emotional value for a recipient.
- the only limitation set for the one or more objects is that the dimensions of said object(s) must be such that accommodation in the hollow 6 is possible.
- the composite stamp possibly with a part of the letter or postcard
- the material of the sticker is preferably a biodegradable material.
- Figure 3 shows a cross section of the composite stamp 1 along line II — II in a second embodiment.
- the layer of the storage part 5 is thinner than the connecting part of the layer of the adhesive part 4. This advantageously leads to an increase in volume for the hollow 6 of the storage part 5.
- Figure 4 shows a cross section of the composite stamp 1 along line II — II in a further embodiment.
- the adhesive part 4 of the sticker 3 is provided with a raised edge 7 on its outer periphery 4b.
- the raised edge 7 provides a reinforcement of the composite stamp.
- Figure 5 shows a cross section of the composite stamp 1 along line II - II in yet a further embodiment.
- the layer of the adhesive part 4 prefferably has a thickness increasing from its outer periphery 4b towards the storage part 5.
- a reinforcement of the sticker 3, in particular a reinforcement of the hollow 6, is also achieved in this way.
- this embodiment provides a relative enlargement of the hollow 6.
- the gradual thickness curve of the sticker 3 provides a relatively smoother composite stamp 1 , which can improve a throughput in a mail processing machine.
- Figure 6 shows a cross section of the composite stamp 1 along line II - II in yet a further embodiment.
- the composite stamp 1 according to this embodiment comprises an embossing 8 in the stamp 2.
- the provision of the embossing 8 produces a recessed part in the stamp.
- This recessed part can advantageously be used when the object 6a is being placed in the hollow 6 of the storage part 5.
- an object 6a can be placed in the embossing 8, after which the sticker 3 is placed on the embossing.
- the embossing process is preferably carried out after printing of the stamps. The embossing makes it easy to place the object 6a (and also the sticker 3) in the correct position on the stamp 2.
- the stamp 2 preferably has a paper weight of at least 100 grams per square metre, in order to simplify the embossing process of the stamp.
- Figure 7 shows a top view of a stamp sheet 10 provided with composite stamps 1 according to the present invention.
- the composite stamps 1 are separated from each other by perforations or tear lines 11.
- Figure 8 shows a cross section of the composite stamp in a further embodiment.
- the composite stamp 1 furthermore comprises an intermediate layer 12 situated between the surface of the stamp 2 and the sticker 3.
- the adhesive part 4 of the sticker 3 is stuck to an upper side of the intermediate layer 12.
- the storage part 5 is situated between the sticker 3 and the intermediate layer 12.
- An underside of the intermediate layer 12 is provided with an adhesive and is connected to the surface of the stamp 2.
- the composite stamp 1 is provided with a local weakening in the part of the sticker that adjoins the storage part 5.
- the local weakening serves for easy opening of the storage part in the sticker.
- the weakening can be a thinner part of the sticker layer, or it can be a perforation or micro-opening of the sticker layer that is smaller than the dimensions of the object(s) 6a which can be present in the storage part.
- the local weakening can be made in the stamp 2 adjacent to the storage part 5.
- a method for producing a composite stamp which is provided with a sticker made of elastic material, in which the sticker comprises a layered adhesive part and a layered storage part, can comprise a number of steps:
- the placing of said one or more objects in the storage part of the sticker can be carried out in various ways. Examples of the ways in which they can be placed are explained briefly below.
- the objects can be placed in the storage part by means of a metering device which places one or more objects per sticker in the storage part, after which the sticker and the stamp are brought together to form the composite stamp.
- the metering device comprises a stock storage area (a container) from which the one or more objects 6a can be transferred to the storage part 5 of the sticker 3.
- the stickers are formed from a strip-shaped sticker material.
- the strip- shaped sticker material is provided with a fold in the longitudinal direction, and said fold is preferably situated halfway across the width of the strip-shaped sticker material.
- One or more objects are always placed in this fold in the longitudinal direction at points with a predetermined distance between them.
- the strip-shaped material is then folded up.
- the edges of the strip-shaped material are joined together here, for example by providing an adhesive on the edges to be folded over on each other.
- the folded-up strip-shaped sticker material is then cut through at a point between every two points where the one or more objects are situated, so that individual stickers are formed. Cut edges at points where the folded-up strip-shaped material has been cut through are preferably provided with an adhesive, so that the one or more objects are enclosed in the individual sticker.
- the individual sticker is affixed on the surface of the stamp in order to form the composite stamp.
- the sticker material is strip-shaped.
- a quantity of adhesive is applied to the strip-shaped sticker material at predetermined points on one side of the strip-shaped material, the distance between the predetermined points being determined by a distance between adjacent stamps.
- the one or more objects are placed at each predetermined point of the sticker material that has been provided with adhesive.
- An adhesive is subsequently applied to each stamp, on at least the surface by means of which the stamp has to stick on the sticker.
- the side of the strip-shaped sticker material on which the one or more objects are situated is then brought into contact with the stamp material in such a way that the composite stamp is formed, with the one or more objects in each case situated substantially at a predetermined position in a storage part between stamp and sticker. After this, the individual composite stamps can be cut off if desired.
- the composite stamp 1 according to the invention can be a postage stamp (or parcel stamp), or it can also be a stick-on label.
- the composite stamp 1 can be a stamp that is provided with a gum layer or with a self- adhesive layer.
- the dimensions are, for example, 25 by 36 mm (or, for example, 30 by 40 mm).
- the sticker 3 is, for example, circular with a diameter of 18 mm, the diameter of the storage part being 9 mm.
- the space between perforation 11 and outside edge of the sticker 3 is then at least 3.5 mm (with centred placing of the sticker 3 on the stamp 2).
- the sticker 3 is designed in such a way that stamp ink can be absorbed in the sticker surface.
- the sticker is, for example, made of a suitable plastic that can absorb ink.
- the sticker 3 is placed on the stamp 2 in such a way that any phosphor area that may be present in the stamp 2 is not covered by the sticker.
- the phosphor area is an area of the stamp 2 in which a phosphorescent ink is present.
- the space to be left between the outside edge of the sticker 3 and the perforation 11 of the stamp 2 preferably at least partially coincides with the phosphor area.
- the sticker 3 can also be of a shape other than round, for example it can be triangular, square or hexagonal in shape.
- the sticker 3 could also be affixed directly on a paper sheet, cardboard sheet, writing paper, a postcard or other printed matter instead of on a stamp 2.
