Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In Patent Document 1, it is a display structure for lottery tickets and the like that enables the pattern printed on one surface of the mount to be easily and quickly exposed. However, in lottery tickets, it is convenient if not only the on-the-spot winning or losing can be known, but also the types of products to be purchased later and the remaining types of winning products of the lottery tickets can be known to customers at the store.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a highly convenient collector for lottery tickets.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] A collection body according to one aspect of the present invention is a collection body capable of collecting lottery tickets, comprising a main body portion having a plurality of regions capable of collecting lottery tickets, wherein each region is configured to have a first long side portion that is long in the vertical direction and a second short side portion that is shorter in the horizontal direction than the first long side portion. [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] The lottery ticket 8 is roughly rectangular in shape, having a third long side portion 8d and a fourth short side portion 8c. For example, the fourth short side portion 8c on one side (lower right side) has a tab portion 8t that bulges outwards. This tab portion 8t can be grasped with the fingertips and pulled to tear the perforations, allowing the lottery ticket 8 to be peeled off the ticket holding sheet. This allows the prize amount printed on the back of the lottery ticket 8b to be confirmed.

[0013] Figure 2 is a plan view of one embodiment of the recovery body 1. The collection unit 1 shown in Figure 2 is configured as a relatively large sheet-like item to which lottery tickets 8 can be attached. The collection unit 1 includes a main body 10 having multiple areas (11, 12) having a collection space 20 for attaching and holding opened 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.

[0014] The areas (11, 12) provided in the main body 10 are divided into two types: a first area 11 and a second area larger than the first area 11. Each area (11, 12) is arranged with a predetermined interval between them and adjacent to a collection space 20 for attaching lottery tickets 8, prizes (A to H), and product information section Q (Qa, Qb, ..., Qh). In other words, each area is configured to have a corresponding collection space 20, prizes, and product information section Q. For example, the first area 11 has five types of prizes "A to E", and in descending order from highest to lowest, it has a collection space 20a for prize A, a collection space 20b for prize B, a collection space 20c for prize C, a collection space 20d for prize D, and a collection space 20e for prize E. Area 212 consists of three types of prizes, "F" through "H," and is arranged in descending order of having collection spaces: F prize (20f), G prize (20g), and H prize (20h).

[0015] The first region 11 and the second region 12 are vertically elongated, roughly rectangular in shape, having first long sides 11a, 12a that are long vertically along the long side of the main body 10, and second short sides 11b, 12b that are shorter horizontally than the first long sides 11a, 12a and along the short side of the main body 10. The product information section Q provided within each region is displayed in colorful hues using photographs and illustrations, and the area below the product information section Q is composed of a different color scheme from the collection space 20.

[0016] Here, as a method of presenting equivalent prizes, characters are appropriately associated in different product information sections Q (Qa, Qb, Qc, ···, Qh) for each equivalent prize (A~H). As this association, for example, the character's pattern is drawn so as to approach or overlap the description of the equivalent prize in each area. As the product information sections (Qa, Qb, Qc, Qd, Qe) for the categories of equivalent prizes A, B, C, D, and E, for example, the "figure" of the character is the product, and in the order of equivalent prizes A~E, the figures of the higher-ranked equivalent prizes are larger and are in the order of popularity.

[0017] Also, for the category of the F prize product, for example, the product information section Qf is described as the "stuffed toy" of the character. In the product information section Qg of the category of the G prize, the product is described as the "playing card" of the character. Furthermore, in the product information section Qh of the category of the H prize, the product is described as the "card" of the character. In this way, a collection space 20 for the lottery ticket 8 is arranged immediately below each product information section Q corresponding to each product.

[0018] The collection space 20 is not just a simple space, but as shown in the figure, it has a structure partitioned by cells 20m corresponding to the outline of the lottery ticket 8. For example, a first collection space 21 as an end space for collecting the last lottery ticket 8 of a specific equivalent prize and a second collection space 22 other than the end space for collecting the lottery ticket 8 in turns except the last turn are color-coded. For example, as a distinction in color tone, the second collection space 22 is made white-based, while the first collection space 21 is made a light blue (blue-based) color scheme, making it easily distinguishable.

[0019] Note that in the first area 11, two cells 20m are arranged side by side without overlapping, but the cells 20m in the second area 12 are configured such that a number of lottery tickets 8 can be pasted with a part of the lottery ticket 8 overlapping.

[0020] Also, as a basic tendency, as shown in FIG. 2, the winning tickets recovery space 20 positions the top-ranked equivalent prizes (with the top being the A prize and, for example, the H prize being the lowest-ranked equivalent prize in alphabetical order) at the upper part of the main body 10, and further, the ranking of the equivalent prizes decreases from left to right. Also, regarding the number of products (number of lottery tickets) for each equivalent prize, as a tendency, the lower-ranked equivalent prizes have more than the upper-ranked equivalent prizes. That is, the number of recoverable winning tickets in the winning tickets recovery space 20 is basically configured such that the lower-ranked equivalent prizes are more numerous.

[0021] The recovery unit 1 is configured such that it is easy to understand that it recovers the lottery tickets 8 of a specific character series in the character series listing section 3 on the upper end side among a large number of character products sold at the storefront. For example, the character series listing section 3 shows a character series specification section 3a, a recovery unit naming section 3b that describes that it recovers the lottery tickets 8 of that character, and a representative character Cm of the series, etc. The character series listing section 3 is provided with an end seal attachment instruction section 31 that instructs to display that the lottery tickets 8 have been completely sold out. And beside this end seal attachment instruction section 31, there is an end seal attachment section 30 where the end seal 30a, which is the complete sale information, is pasted.

[0022] Also, in the character series listing section 3, as a separate area from the plurality of areas (11, 12), a so-called last one prize, which recovers the last lottery ticket 8, is provided as a third area 53 next to the representative character Cm. In the illustration, this third area 53 has one cell 20m where one lottery ticket 8 can be recovered, but even if there is no shape of the cell 20m, as long as there is a space where the lottery ticket 8 can be pasted and it can be understood that this space is the area for pasting the lottery ticket 8 of the last one prize, that is sufficient. Also, in the illustration, it is configured to paste the lottery ticket 8 of the last one prize horizontally, but it may also be configured to paste it vertically.

[0023] FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view of one of the second areas 12. In the case of the second area 12, which has a collection space 20 (collection section for prizes F, G, and H) on which a large number of lottery tickets 8 can be attached, the lottery tickets 8 are arranged in a manner in which they are lined up along their longitudinal direction, as shown in Figure 3. As mentioned above, this is divided into squares 20m where parts of the lottery tickets overlap. That is, the third long side 8d of the lottery ticket 8 is aligned with the first long side 12a, the fourth short side 8c is at the top, and the handle part 8t of the lottery ticket 8 is at the bottom, and these contour lines 20ml are arranged at predetermined intervals. In this way, the collection space 20 is configured so that 22 lottery tickets 8 are lined up vertically, with the third long side 8d of the lottery ticket 8 in the vertical direction and the fourth short side 8c in the horizontal direction, as shown in the figure.

[0024] The second collection space 22 for prize G consists of two rows of eight 20m squares shaped like lottery tickets and one row of five squares, as shown in the diagram. On the other hand, the first collection space 21 is the area of ​​only the last square on the far right. In this case, only the topmost 20m square in each row is the same shape as lottery ticket 8, and lottery ticket 8 is pasted in this position to match the shape, and below it, it is pasted to match the 20m square as described later. Furthermore, the first 20m section of the second collection space 22 contains the "G" mark for the G prize. This configuration is the same for the other prizes as well. In addition, information 28 on the remaining number of G prizes is displayed within each 20m section.

[0025] Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing an example of the process of attaching the sticker to the lottery ticket. When attaching the lottery tickets 8 to the collection space 20, as described above, attach them so that the length and width of the lottery tickets 8 are aligned with the length and width of the square 20m. For example, if the first lottery ticket 8 for the relevant prize has already been attached as shown in Figure 4, attach the new ticket on top of the existing ticket 8. At this time, attach the ticket so that the fourth short side 8c (the side with the tab 8t) on one side of the lottery ticket 8 is aligned with the contour line 20ml adjacent to the already attached lottery ticket 8. The process of attaching the lottery tickets 8 is repeated, starting with the upper left side and moving downwards, and then sequentially moving from the left column to the right column.

[0026] Figure 5 is an enlarged perspective view showing the state after the lottery ticket 8 shown in Figure 4 has been attached. As described above, by attaching and collecting the lottery tickets 8, the "How many tickets left" display of the remaining number information 28 written within each 20m square becomes invisible. In other words, as shown in Figure 5, the next remaining number display "21 tickets left" is covered by the already attached lottery ticket 8, and the display switches to "20 tickets left" at the beginning of the collection space 20. This attachment operation is repeated sequentially, and when the last ticket is attached, the lottery tickets 8 for that prize are finished.

[0027] There are no particular restrictions on the means by which the lottery ticket 8 is attached. For example, a resin or paper tape 50 having an adhesive layer on one side can be used as the attachment method. As shown in Figure 4, this tape 50 is pre-attached so that the adhesive surface protrudes along the fourth 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. If the tape 50 is a double-sided adhesive tape, for example, the tape is attached along the inside of the other end of the fourth short side 8c, and then attached using the same procedure as described above.

[0028] When all lottery tickets 8 have been affixed to all areas of the collection space 20 for all prizes (A-H), the last lottery ticket 8 becomes the Last One Prize ticket. This last lottery ticket 8 is affixed to the Last One Prize position in the third area 53, which has the representative character Cm as the product information section. The prize for this lottery ticket is a better product than the others (for example, a product related to the representative character Cm).

[0029] In the collection unit 1, as described above, when the affixing of lottery tickets 8 to all areas of the collection space 20 for all prizes (A to H) is complete, a sold-out information indicating that the lottery tickets 8 are sold out will be displayed. This completion indication will be, as mentioned above, for example, by affixing an end sticker 30a to the end sticker affixing area 30 on the right and bottom of the character series display area 3.

[0030] 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.

[0031] As described above, the collection body 1 of this embodiment has a configuration in which multiple areas (11, 12) for attaching and collecting lottery tickets 8 have vertically long first long sides 11a, 12a and horizontally shorter second short sides 11b, 12b, which are shorter than the first long sides 11a, 12a, making it easy to construct a vertically elongated main body 10. As a result, a vertically elongated collection body 1 can be constructed, and as a vertically elongated main body 10, it is possible to provide a collection body 1 that does not take up much width and allows the vertical height to be used when attaching tickets, making it easy to see.

[0032] The main body 10 of this embodiment is configured to display a product information section Q for each prize, making it easy to associate character products with prizes. In particular, since the product information section Q for each character is adjacent to the collection space 20, it is easy to directly associate the product information section Q with the prizes (A to H). Also, since the product information section Q for each prize is adjacent to the square 20m, it is easy to check the prize when attaching the lottery ticket 8.

[0033] In the collection body 1 of this embodiment, each area is provided with squares 20m corresponding to the shape of the lottery ticket 8, so when attaching the lottery ticket 8, it is possible to easily position and attach it by utilizing the shape of the squares 20m.

[0034] In the collection unit 1 of this embodiment, the colors of the square 20m and the product information section Q are different, making it easier to identify the collection space 20 where the lottery tickets 8 are attached.

[0035] Furthermore, in the collection body 1 of this embodiment, the longer side portion (third long side portion 8d) of the lottery ticket 8 is aligned in the vertical direction rather than the horizontal direction, and the configuration includes an area that allows for the collection of more lottery tickets 8, making it easier to make the main body portion 10 vertically elongated.

[0036] In the collection unit 1 of this embodiment, a second region 12 having a collection space 20 on which some of the lottery tickets 8 overlap makes it possible to collect a larger number of lottery tickets 8. In contrast, by providing a first region 11 on which the lottery tickets 8 do not overlap, it is possible to clearly distinguish between the higher prizes with fewer winning tickets and the second region 12 with many winning tickets.

[0037] In the recovery unit 1 of this embodiment, by providing one third area 53 which is the part where the last prize is attached, the final remaining lottery ticket 8 can be given a value separate from the main prize. Furthermore, by making the product information section of the third area 53 larger than the other product information sections Q, the desire to purchase the remaining lottery tickets 8 can be promoted.

[0038] In this embodiment of the recovery body 1, the main body 10 is configured as a foldable sheet, making it convenient for display and storage.

[0039] 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 part is clearly displayed, making it easy to see the remaining number of winning lottery tickets 8.

[0040] 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.

[0041] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the product information section Q and its categories are merely examples and are not limited in any way to the above description.

[0042] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the adhesive member (tape) is provided at the time of attachment of the lottery ticket 8, but this is not the only option. 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 is also possible.
