[0004] [Patent Document]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent No. 51-33280 SUMMARY

[0006] [PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION]

[0007] In Patent Document 1, two flat sheet materials are overlapped and information such as winning information is written on the inner side. In this configuration, since there is no pinch portion for peeling, the information writing area can be enlarged, but there is a problem that peeling is difficult. On the other hand, in the case of a lottery ticket provided with a pinch portion, although it is easy to perform opening, there is a problem that the information writing area of the lottery ticket is reduced.

[0008] An object of the present application is to provide a lottery ticket that is good in operability without reducing the information writing area of the lottery ticket.

[0009] [TECHNICAL MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS]

[0010] The lottery ticket of one aspect of the present application includes a main body portion including an opening portion, a holding portion capable of holding the opening portion is formed in the main body portion, and a separation portion capable of separating the sealing portion is formed in the main body portion. The opening portion includes a pinch portion, and the separation portion is configured to include a curved line in the vicinity of the pinch portion.

[0011] [EFFECT OF THE INVENTION]

[0012] According to the present application, a lottery ticket that is good in operability without reducing the information writing area of the lottery ticket can be provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0020] Hereinafter, a lottery ticket representing a viewpoint of the present invention will be described with reference to the figures.

[0021] Figure 1 It is a 3D image of lottery ticket 1. Figure 2 It is along Figure 1 A partial sectional view of line AA.

[0022] For example Figure 1 As shown, the lottery ticket 1 is a rectangular flat plate with left and right short sides 10a and 10b and top and bottom long sides 10c and 10d. Furthermore, a first sheet 11 (the upper side in the figure), which is one surface of the front of the lottery ticket, and a second sheet 12 (the lower side in the figure), which is another surface of the back of the lottery ticket, are integrally formed by a peelable adhesive to constitute the main body 10. The main body 10 has an opening portion 11a for the lottery ticket main body, which can be peeled off from the first sheet 11. The opening portion 11a has a front-side recording portion 11g on its front side, as shown in the figure, on which various information is printed.

[0023] The opening portion of the sealing section 11a is constructed with a perforated structure in the following manner: the cutting line, i.e., the separating portion 20, is alternately arranged with a holding portion 11d that makes the separating portion 20 discontinuous, and the length of the holding portion 11d is shorter than the length of the separating portion 20. The separating portion 20 has the following four components: a first separating portion 21 and a third separating portion 23 arranged on the left short side 10a, a second separating portion 22 arranged on the upper and lower long sides 10c and 10d, and a fourth separating portion 24 arranged on the right short side 10b. The second separating portion 22, the third separating portion 23, and the fourth separating portion 24 are combinations of straight sections, while the first separating portion 21 is a configuration that includes curves.

[0024] The first separation portion 21 includes a curved portion 210, a first straight portion 211, and a second straight portion 212. The second separation portion 22 includes a third straight portion 223 on the shorter side that is bent toward the inside, and a fourth straight portion 224 on the longer side that is parallel to the long sides (10c, 10d). The fourth separation portion 24 includes a sixth straight portion 246 on the longer side in the center, a fifth straight portion 245 on the shorter side that is bent toward the outside on one end side of the sixth straight portion 246, and a seventh straight portion 247 on the shorter side that is bent toward the outside on the other end side of the sixth straight portion 246. In addition, the third separation portion 23 has substantially the same shape as the fourth separation portion 24, the inclined straight portions 239 on both ends are longer than the fourth separation portion 24, and the central straight portion 238 in the center is connected to the inclined straight portions 239 on both ends via a curved portion. The area surrounded by the third separation portion 23 functions as a gripping portion 11c for gripping during peeling.

[0025] In order to form the base end portion of the gripping portion 11c, two first separation portions 21 are formed in the drawing above and below the gripping portion 11c near the gripping portion 11c and inside the opening portion 11a. In addition, the second separation portion 22 is provided more than the first separation portion 21 in a manner along the upper and lower long sides 10c, 10d. In addition, the fourth separation portion 24 is provided with three in a manner along the right short side 10b.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2 , the separation portion 20 is a cutting line that completely separates the first sheet 11 on the front side. Also, the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 are adhered in a manner that can be easily peeled by a force applied in the thickness direction. Furthermore, Figure 2 , the depth of the cutting line of the separation portion 20 is a depth that reaches the second sheet 12, but for example, it can also be a half-cut configuration in which the first sheet 11 is not completely cut and separated.

[0027] Figure 3 is a main part cross-sectional view that shows an example of a peeling operation.

[0028] As a start of peeling the portion of the opening portion 11a, for example, the gripping portion 11c is started. In this case, for example, the front end of a finger 80 of one hand is hooked to the gripping front end edge 11ct of the gripping portion 11c. At this time, a finger 81 of the other hand is gripped near the left short side 10a, and for example, by applying a force in a direction that makes the front side protrude to form a curved surface, the gripping front end edge 11ct is lifted. The operation is performed in a manner that the lifted gripping front end edge 11ct is gripped with the fingertip and is pinched up (pulled in the Z direction shown in the drawing).

[0029] Figure 4 is a plan view showing the state at the initial stage of the opening operation.

[0030] By pinching up the gripping portion 11c, as shown inFigure 4 As shown, the separation in the separation section 20 is first performed in the third separation section 23, then in the first separation section 21, and then in the width direction (the up-down direction in the drawing) of the opening section 11a. The subsequent opening is performed by peeling the second separation section 22 along the first direction (X1) which is the direction from the left end portion, i.e., the left short side 10a, toward the right end portion, i.e., the right short side 10b.

[0031] Here, the separation operation in the initial stage of the opening will be described.

[0032] Figure 5 is an enlarged plan view for explaining the separation mode of the separation section in the initial stage of the opening operation. In the initial stage of the opening, as described above, the opening in the width direction (the up-down direction in the drawing) of the opening section 11a is performed by pulling up the pinch section 11c. By the operation of pinching up the pinch section 11c, the opening (separation) proceeds along the inclined straight line section 239 in the drawing which is located above and below the pinch section 11c (arrow C1 in the drawing). Then, when the separation proceeds to the holding section 11d between the end portion (right end portion in the drawing) of the inclined straight line section 239 and the first separation section 21, the holding section 11d is broken at the end portion 21e of the curved section 210 of the first separation section 21 (arrow C2 in the drawing), and the separation line which should have proceeded in the up-down direction slightly deviates to the inside and proceeds so that the opening is connected to the curved section 210.

[0033] In the portion of the curved section 210, the proceeding of the opening is changed from the first direction (X1) before that to the second direction (X2) which is the opposite direction (arrow C3 in the drawing). After the proceeding direction of the opening is turned to the second direction (X2) by the curved section 210, the opening is performed by the first straight line section 211 which has a component in the second direction (X2) (arrow C4 in the drawing). Thereafter, the proceeding direction of the opening is changed again to the first direction (X1) by the second straight line section 212 which intersects the first straight line section 211 at an obtuse angle (arrow C5 in the drawing). Then, the holding section 11d between the second straight line section 212 and the third straight line section 223 of the second separation section 22 is broken (arrow C6 in the drawing), and the opening is connected to the fourth straight line section 224 which is longer than the third straight line section 223. Then, the opening proceeds along the fourth straight line section 224 until the right end of the opening section 11a.

[0034] Here, the configuration is such that, in the opening in the width direction in the initial stage of the opening of the opening section 11a, as described above, after the opening in the first direction (X1) by the first opening length amount L1 (the distance by which the opening moves to the right), the proceeding direction of the opening is changed to the second direction (X2) by the second opening length amount L2 (the distance by which the opening moves to the left) which is the return, but the second opening length amount L2 of the return is smaller than the first opening length amount L1. That is, the configuration is such that the return amount of the proceeding direction of the opening is not so large as to adversely affect the operability of the opening.

[0035] Figure 6 is a perspective view showing an example of the opened form of the lottery ticket 1.

[0036] In the final stage of the opening operation, as shown in Figure 6 the state where the opening portion 11a has been completely separated from the outer peripheral portion 11b outside the separation portion 20, and has become a state where the opening trace portion 12h is formed. Thus, the opening portion 11a becomes a long rectangle having several sawtooth patterns on the outer periphery, and is completely separated from the second sheet 12. In this state after the opening of the opening portion 11a, as shown in the drawing, the information portion 90 of the lottery ticket 1, such as the winning number, can be seen. Thus, the lottery ticket 1 can be exchanged for a product such as a B prize.

[0037] Further, the area of the opening portion 11a is configured to be larger than the area of the outer peripheral portion 11b, and is configured in a manner to expand the information recording area.

[0038] Figure 7 is a perspective view showing another example of the opened form of the lottery ticket 1.

[0039] Figure 7 the opened state of the opening portion 11a shown in the drawing is a state where a part of the opening portion 11a remains on the second sheet 12. That is, the opening portion 11a is in a state where a part other than the periphery of the fourth separation portion 24 on the right side end is peeled, and is in a state where it is connected to the outer peripheral portion 11b. In this state, the information portion 90 can also be seen.

[0040] As described above, in the lottery ticket 1 of this aspect, the separation portion 20 has a configuration including a curve in the vicinity of the pinch portion 11c, and thus the orientation of the opening direction can be smoothly changed without unexpected breakage. In particular, by providing the first separation portion 21 with the curved portion 210 in the vicinity of the pinch portion 11c, the orientation of the opening direction can be advanced in the second direction (X2) opposite to the opening operation direction in the first direction (XI), and thus the area of the opening portion 11a can be increased. In addition, the hand movement during the opening operation is always only in the first direction (XI), and thus the opening operation is simple and easy.

[0041] In the lottery ticket 1 of this aspect, since the separation portion 20 and the holding portion 11d are alternately arranged, the peeling operation is easy. In addition, in the second separation portion 22 of the separation portion 20, a long straight portion (fourth straight portion 224) is provided in a manner to follow the long sides 10c, 10d, and thus the opening operation is easy.

[0042] In the lottery ticket 1 of this aspect, the separation portion 20 is provided with a plurality of second separation portions 22, third separation portions 23, and fourth separation portions 24 that do not include a curve, and thus the opening operation can be easily performed.

[0043] Further, in the lottery ticket 1 of the present aspect, when the opening portion 11a is opened by an opening length L1 in the first direction (X1), the opening length L2 in the second direction (X2) is smaller than the opening length L1 in the first direction (X1). Therefore, the opening operation is not difficult, and the opening area (opening portion 11a) is large.

[0044] The present aspect has been described above, but the present aspect can be appropriately changed within the scope of the technical idea thereof. For example, in the aspect described above, the shape of the lottery ticket 1 is a substantially rectangular shape, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

[0045] Further, in the aspect described above, the peeling operation is performed from the left side to the right side of the lottery ticket 1, but the peeling operation can be performed in the opposite direction.
