Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] A recovery body according to one aspect of the present invention is a recovery body capable of recovering lottery tickets, comprising a main body portion including a recovery section in which a region is formed, wherein the recovery section is configured to distinguish between a first region for recovering lottery tickets in the last round and a second region for recovering lottery tickets in rounds other than the last round. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, a highly convenient lottery ticket collection system can be provided. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] This is an enlarged perspective view showing an example of lottery tickets recovered by a recovery body according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a plan view showing one aspect of the recovered body. [Figure 3] This is an enlarged plan view showing a portion of the recovery section. [Figure 4] This is an enlarged perspective view showing an example of the process of attaching the sticker to a lottery ticket. [Figure 5] Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing the state after the lottery ticket has been attached. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] The following describes an embodiment of the recovered body representing one aspect of the present invention, with reference to the figures. Figure 1 is an enlarged perspective view showing an example of lottery tickets recovered by a recovery device.

[0010] Before explaining the recovery unit 1 (see Figure 2), let's explain the lottery ticket 8 that is recovered by the recovery unit 1. In stores and retail outlets that sell specific character merchandise, for example, there may be lottery tickets 8 attached to the character merchandise, as shown in Figure 1. These lottery tickets 8 can increase the desire of customers to purchase the character merchandise or related products because the target product is a popular character. It would also be useful if the lottery tickets displayed information such as how many tickets for the character-related products that customers want are still available. For this reason, a sheet-like collection unit 1 (see Figure 2) can be used to display information on the remaining number of winning lottery tickets 8 in the store.

[0011] The lottery ticket 8 shown in Figure 1 is made of, for example, relatively thick paper or synthetic resin, and the front surface 8a of the lottery ticket indicates that it is a lottery ticket for a specific character, as indicated by the character series designation section 3a. On the other hand, the back surface 8b of the lottery ticket displays the prize for that particular ticket. Before drawing a ticket, the lottery ticket 8 is attached to, for example, a lottery ticket holder sheet that holds multiple tickets 8. The customer then peels off the ticket holder sheet to obtain a single lottery ticket 8 as shown in the figure.

[0012] Figure 2 is a plan view of one embodiment of the recovery body 1. The collection unit 1 shown in Figure 2 is a sheet-like item to which lottery tickets 8 can be attached. The collection unit 1 comprises a main body 10 having multiple collection spaces 20, which are collection sections for attaching and holding opened sheet-like (see Figure 1) lottery tickets 8, and a character series display section 3 that is continuous with one end (upper side in the figure) of the main body 10. In other words, the collection unit 1 is configured so that it is easy to see that it is for collecting lottery tickets 8 of a specific character series from the POP section at the upper end of the POP display among the many characters sold in stores.

[0013] The main body 10 is a rectangular sheet member made of, for example, relatively thick cardboard or resin board. The collection spaces 20 for attaching the lottery tickets 8 are arranged in order from the highest prize to the lowest of the eight prizes "A to H": collection space 20a for prize A, collection space 20b for prize B, collection space 20c for prize C, collection space 20d for prize D, collection space 20e for prize E, collection space 20f for prize F, collection space 20g for prize G, and collection space 20h for prize H.

[0014] Here, the prizes are presented in a way that characters are appropriately associated with each prize category (A-H) in the product information Q (Qa, Qb, Qc, ..., Qh). For example, the character's image is depicted close to the prize display. For the product information (Qa, Qb, Qc, Qd, Qe) in the categories of prizes A, B, C, D, and E, the product is, for example, a character "figure," and the figures for the higher prizes are larger in size and also in order of popularity, from A to E.

[0015] Furthermore, the category of the prize for prize F is listed as a "plush toy" of the character, as indicated by product information Qf. The category of prize G is listed as a "playing card" of the character in product information Qg. In addition, the category of prize H is listed as a "card" of the character in product information Qh. In this way, the collection space 20 for the lottery tickets 8 corresponding to each prize is placed in close proximity to each product information.

[0016] The collection space 20 is not just a space, but has the configuration shown in the diagram. For example, the first area 21, which is the terminal space where the lottery ticket 8 is collected in the last draw, and the second area 22, which is the space other than the terminal space where the lottery ticket 8 is collected in draws other than the last draw, are color-coded. For example, in terms of color distinction, the second area 22 is white, while the first area 21 is composed of light blue (blue) colors, and in the case of a higher prize with two prizes, the areas of the first area 21 and the second area 22 are the same size.

[0017] Also, as a basic tendency, the collection space 20 is configured such that, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper equivalent prizes (with the top prize being Prize A and, for example, Prize H being the lowest equivalent prize in alphabetical order) are located at the upper part of the main body 10. Further, as a basic tendency of the description position of the equivalent prizes in the collection space 20, the ranks of the equivalent prizes are arranged to decrease from left to right. Also, regarding the number of products (number of lottery tickets) for each equivalent prize, as a tendency, the lower equivalent prizes have more than the upper equivalent prizes. That is, the number of collectibles in the collection space 20 is basically configured such that the lower equivalent prizes are more numerous.

[0018] The character series posting section 3 provided on the upper side of the main body 10 displays a character series specification section 3a, a collection body naming section 3b that describes that it collects the lottery tickets 8 of the character, and a representative character Cm of the series, etc. Further, the character series posting section 3 is provided with an end seal attachment instruction section 31 that instructs to display that the lottery tickets 8 have been sold out. And beside this end seal attachment instruction section 31, an end seal attachment section �0 for attaching an end seal 30a which is sold out information is arranged.

[0019] FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view showing a part of the collection section. In the case of the collection space 20 (collection sections for Prizes F, G, and H) where a large number of lottery tickets 8 are pasted, as shown in FIG. 3, the lottery tickets 8 are partitioned by cells 20m such that the lottery tickets are arranged in their longitudinal direction and partially overlap each other. That is, when a large number of lottery tickets 8 are pasted, it becomes cells 20m in which contour lines 20ml with the gripping portions 8t of the lottery tickets ⑧ facing down are arranged at predetermined intervals. The collection space 20 is configured to paste the lottery tickets 8 in a form where the long side 8d of the lottery ticket 8 is in the vertical direction and the short side 8c is in the horizontal direction. And, for example, in Prize G shown in FIG. 3, the number of equivalent prizes is 22, and the second region 22 is larger than the first region 21.

[0020] As shown in the figure, the second area 22 of the G prize consists of 8 vertical rows of lottery ticket-shaped squares 20m arranged in two columns and 6 squares in one column. On the other hand, the first area 21 is an area that only includes the section of the last square 20m at the far right. Only the topmost square 20m in each column has the same shape as lottery ticket 8. At this position, lottery ticket 8 is pasted in accordance with this shape and is pasted so as to overlap it on the lower side. In addition, the "G" mark of the G prize is described in the first square 20m of the second area 22. This configuration is the same for other equivalent prizes. In addition, the remaining number information 28 of the remaining lottery tickets 8 of the G prize is described in each section of each square 20m.

[0021] Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing an example of the pasting operation on the lottery ticket. When pasting the lottery ticket 8 into the collection space 20, as described above, it is pasted in accordance with the square 20m. For example, when the first lottery ticket 8 of the equivalent prize has already been pasted as shown in Figure 4, it is pasted so as to overlap it on the lottery ticket 8. At this time, one short side 8c (on the side of the gripping part 8t) of the lottery ticket 8 is aligned with the contour line 20ml adjacent to the already pasted lottery ticket 8. The pasting of the lottery ticket 8 is repeated with the upper left side as the first pasting and moving downward, and further, the pasting is advanced by sequentially moving from the left column to the right.

[0022] Figure 5 is an enlarged perspective view showing the state after the pasting operation of the lottery ticket 8 shown in Figure 4. By pasting and collecting the lottery ticket 8 as described above, the display of "how many more" of the remaining number information 28 described in each square 20m becomes invisible. That is, as shown in Figure 5, the display of the next remaining number "21 more" is covered by the second lottery ticket 8 by the already pasted lottery ticket 8, and the new "20 more" is switched to the display at the beginning of the collection space 20. This pasting operation is sequentially repeated, and when the last one is pasted, the lottery ticket 8 of the equivalent prize ends.

[0023] Here, there are no particular restrictions on the means of attaching the lottery ticket 8, but for example, a resin or paper tape 50 having an adhesive layer on one or both sides can be used. As shown in Figure 4, the tape 50 is first attached so that the adhesive surface protrudes along the other short side 8c of the lottery ticket 8. When positioning the lottery ticket 8, one end (the side with the tab 8t) is aligned first, and then the other end of the tape 50 is pressed down to complete the attachment. When using double-sided adhesive tape, the tape is attached so that it follows the inside of the other end of the short side 8c (so that no part of the tape protrudes), and it can be attached using a similar pressing operation.

[0024] In the collection unit 1, as described above, when all areas of the collection space 20 for all prizes (A to H) have been covered with lottery tickets 8, a sold-out message indicating that all lottery tickets 8 have been sold out will be displayed. This completion is indicated, as previously mentioned, by, for example, attaching an end sticker 30a to the end sticker attachment area 30 on the right and bottom of the character series display area 3.

[0025] The above description concerns a specific character series, but the collection unit 1 is prepared for each of the many different character series. The lottery tickets 8 are all the same shape. The collection space 20 is also configured to accommodate multiple lottery tickets 8 of the same shape and size.

[0026] As described above, the collection body 1 in this embodiment is configured to distinguish between the end space (first region 21) where the lottery ticket 8 is attached in the last round and the space other than the end space (second region 22). This configuration makes it possible to visually confirm at a glance whether or not there are any winning tickets (A to H) remaining in the lottery ticket 8.

[0027] Furthermore, in the recovery unit 1 of this embodiment, a first area 21 and a second area 22 are provided for each prize category, making it possible to visually check whether or not there are winning tickets for each prize category. In particular, the fact that the first area 21 and the second area 22 are installed adjacent to each other makes it easy to determine the remaining amount (remaining quantity).

[0028] Furthermore, in the collection body 1 of this embodiment, the collection method of the lottery tickets 8 is such that a portion of the lottery tickets 8 overlap, making it possible to collect a larger number of lottery tickets 8 in a smaller collection space.

[0029] In the collection unit 1 of this embodiment, multiple collection spaces 20 are provided in areas with different numbers of collectible lottery tickets 8, making it possible and easy to rank the prizes (A to H). In particular, by setting the size of the collection spaces 20 so that the number of collectible tickets for higher prizes is smaller than that for lower prizes, the disparity between the higher and lower prizes can be clearly represented.

[0030] In the collection body 1 of this embodiment, the collection space 20 is distinguished into a first area 21 and a second area 22 by color coding or the like, and in particular, since the first area 21 is located at the edge of the collection space 20, it is possible to roughly grasp the number of winning lottery tickets 8 remaining in the collection space 20.

[0031] Furthermore, in the collection unit 1 of this embodiment, the collection space 20 is configured to accurately display information on the remaining number of collectible tickets for each prize, so that the number of remaining winning tickets can be checked at a glance.

[0032] The main body 10 of this embodiment is configured to display product information Q for different categories for each prize, making it easy to associate character products with prizes. In particular, since the product information Q for each character and the product information for each category are placed adjacent to each other in the collection space 20, it is easy to directly associate the product information Q with the prizes (A to H).

[0033] Furthermore, in the recovery unit 1 of this embodiment, by configuring it so that the recovery space 20 for higher-ranking prizes tends to be at a higher position than the recovery space 20 for lower-ranking prizes, a recovery unit 1 can be provided that is easy to understand because the vertical position of the prizes is associated with the vertical position.

[0034] In this embodiment of the collection body 1, the collection space 20 is configured such that the lottery ticket 8 is attached with its long side 8d oriented vertically and its short side 8c oriented horizontally. This makes it easy to make the collection space 20 vertically oriented and the collection body 1 vertically oriented. As a result, a vertically oriented main body 10 can be provided, which does not take up much width and is easy to see.

[0035] Furthermore, because the main body 10 is vertically elongated, the vertical height can be utilized when hanging or attaching the product in stores, thus reducing the display space required. Moreover, in the case of attaching a roughly rectangular lottery ticket 8 so that it hangs vertically with its short side 8c horizontally, the attachment only needs to be done along the width of the short side 8c, thus shortening the attachment length. As a result, the amount of tape 50 used for attachment can be reduced.

[0036] In the recovery unit 1 of this embodiment, the remaining number information 28 of the lottery tickets 8 is covered each time a lottery ticket 8 is attached, and the information of the uncovered parts is clearly displayed, making it easy to see the remaining number of winning lottery tickets 8.

[0037] In this embodiment of the collection unit 1, when all lottery tickets 8 have been affixed to all areas of the collection space 20 for all prizes, a sold-out sticker 30a is affixed to a clearly visible location on the main body 10 (the character series display area 3 and the upper left side of the collection unit 1), thereby effectively indicating to customers that the lottery tickets 8 have been sold out.

[0038] The collection units 1 in this embodiment are prepared for each of the many different character series, and since the lottery tickets 8 are of the same shape, their production can be made highly versatile. Furthermore, by using multiple collection spaces 20 of the same shape and size, collection units 1 for different characters can be provided simply by changing the product information Q and the category product information.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiments, the shape of the lottery ticket 8 is substantially rectangular, but it is not necessarily limited to this.

[0040] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the product information Q and its category are merely examples and are not limited in any way to the above description.

[0041] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the adhesive member (tape) is provided at the time of attachment of the lottery ticket 8, but the invention is not limited to this, and for example, a configuration in which double-sided adhesive tape or the like is provided in advance on the back side of the lottery ticket 8 may also be used.
