_ 2 This object is achieved by a badge with the features of the corresponding patent claims.
It is the gist of the present invention to provide a proof-of-entry device with a badge as a basic component and a validation component attached thereto which can preferably be peeled off the badge. In a preferred embodiment, the validation component optically supplements the badge, for instance if the validation component is provided in the form of a passe-partout and/or frame or a part thereof for a design on the badge.
Preferably, the badge and the validation component of the present invention are integrally formed, e.g. from a suitable plastic material, metal or cardboard.
Furthermore, the validation component preferably carries a chip, magnetic strip, a holographic image and/or a bar code for validation. Such elements can be validated automatically by means of suitable reading devices.
Preferably, the validation component can be removed from the badge so that it may separately be introduced into a reading device and retained therein or validated. In the case of components which can be validated more than once, such as chips or magnetic strips, the validation components remain attached to the badge or can be re-attached thereto.
A badge according to the present invention, which is suitable in particular for the proof-of-entry device of the present invention comprises a design support and a counter-member which are straight and which are folded together when the badge is used in order to form a clasp.

Figures 1 to 6 show proof-of-entry devices 1 according to the present invention with different badges 2 and different validation components 3. According to Figures 1 and 2, a validation component 3a is attached to a badge 2a, for example on its back. On its front, the badge 2a comprises a design (not shown), for example in a pocket provided on the front. This design can for example be a printed or enamelled image showing for example a subject of an exhibit, presentation, performance, event etc. for which the proof-of-entry device was purchased.
The badge 2a can be manufactured from a suitable plastic material, cardboard, brass, zinc etc. for example by injection molding, casting or punching. In the front and back views according to Fig. 1, the validation component 3a preferably covers at least the width and/or length of the badge 2a. This way, the proof-of-entry devices are guided by the protruding sides of the validation components 3a when stacked flatly in a dispenser or a supply of several proof-of-entry devices are connected to each other for example via their validation components and can be separated along a perforated line.
- ~ Z~ ~ 270 ~_ 6 The validation component 3a is preferably a printed cardboard and is attached to the badge 2a by means of an adhesive so that it can easily removed from the badge 2a prior to or during validation without any traces of the adhesive remaining on the badge 2a. It is, however, also possible that the validation component is formed integrally with the badge in another fashion, for example by means of a perforation, and/or is torn off or punched when the proof-of-entry device is validated or it is validated by reading the chip, magnetic strip, holographic image or bar code provided on the validation component.
Further embodiments of a proof-of-entry device lb or lc according to the present invention are shown in Figures 3 and 4 and 5 and 6, respectively. The badges 2b, 2c shown therein comprise a validation component 3b, 3c on their front sides. Compared to the proof-of-entry device la, this has the advantage that the proof-of-entry devices lb and lc can be attached to a piece of clothing already before validation. This process will be described in more detail later on.
The badges 2b and 2c are advantageously manufactured straight, i.e. in an unfolded position, and applied to a corresponding validation component 3b or 3c, as shown. This has the great advantage that the badges can easily be manufactured, occupy little space and can therefore be stocked more easily, especially stacked on top of each other. After such proof-of-entry devices have been distributed, they can easily be attached to a piece of clothing together with the corresponding validation component by the user. Then the proof-of-entry devices can be validated by removal of the validation component, for example by the personnel.
The badges 2b and 2c comprise designs (not shown) on their front. The validation components 3b and 3c can optically 0 2~ 99270 _ supplement these designs. It is preferred that the validation components 3b, 3c are provided in the shape of a passe-partout surrounding the front side of the badge 2b, 2c. The window which allows a view of the front side of the badge 2b, 2c is preferably punched or is made of a transparent film. The film preferably comprises the adhesive by means of which the validation component 3b, 3c is attached to the badge 2b, 2c.
Figures 7 to 10 show a detailed view of the badge 2a of the proof-of-entry device la. According to Fig. 7, a counter-member 5a is provided behind a design support 4a via a hinge 6a comprising a spring 7a. As is also shown in Figures 9 to 11, the hinge 6a comprising a spring 7a causes the counter-member 5a, for example its convex lower end 5a', to be pressed against the back of the design support 4a. A free leg above the element 6a enables the user to apply pressure and thus move the counter-member 5a away from the design support 4a against the spring resistance of the spring 7a in order to attach the badge 2a.
Figures 8 and 9 show that the design support 4a preferably comprises a front pocket in which a design (not shown) can be firmly attached.
Figures 12 to 15 show an embodiment of the badge 2b of the present invention which is suitable in particular for the proof-of-entry device of the present invention. A design support 4b and a counter-member 5b are connected via a hinge 6b. The design support 4b and the counter-member 5b are preferably more rigid or firmer than the hinge 6b connecting them.
Fig. 13 shows a preferred embodiment of such a badge 2b.
The design support 4b and the counter-member 5b are for example formed by films that are bonded or glued together which imparts them a sufficient degree of rigidity. Such a ~2~ ~27~
_ 8 badge 2b can for example have the nature of a check card.
The hinge 6b on the other hand is preferably formed by only one foil which is why it is elastic and/or plastic enough to be bent relative to the design support 4b and the counter-member 5b. The rigidity of the design support 4b and the counter-member 5b is alternatively preferably achieved by rigid plates which are connected by means of a plastic hinge 6b, as for example an aluminum foil, an integral hinge or a thin portion.
At a suitable location on the back of the design support 4b and/or the counter-member 5b a retaining element lb is provided essentially adjacent to the hinge 6b. As shown, this retaining element 7b preferably has several functions.
On the one hand, it can serve as a spacing element between the design support 4b and the counter-member 5b if the counter-member 5b is folded behind the design support 4b as shown in Fig. 14. This ensures that there is a space between the design support 4b and the counter-member 5b so that the badge 2b can be attached to a piece of clothing, for example the lapel of a jacket. On the other hand, on the surface exposed in the unfolded position, the retaining element 7b comprises for example an adhesive which is e.g.
covered with a peelable film in this position. Prior to attaching the badge 2b, the peelable film has to be peeled off the retaining element 7b, which secures the design support 4b and the counter-member 5b in the folded position as shown in Fig. 14. The retaining element 7b is preferably an elastic material such as for example a polyurethane foam, sponge rubber or a dense foamed material.
Figures 13 to 15 show as an example how a design 9b can for example be enclosed between two films 8b and form a design support 4b. In this case, at least the film on the front of the design support 4b should be transparent. The films 8b are preferably adhesive on their inside surface or bonded at those points where they are directly opposite each other.
~ 2~ ~ 27~
It is, however, also conceivable that merely a design 9b firmly attached to one film 8b imparts the necessary firmness to the design support 4b. The counter-member 5b is formed by two films 8b and the hinge 6b is preferably and advantageously formed by one film as shown.
The films 8b in the depicted embodiment preferably have a thickness of 0.5 mm. The design 9b is preferably a printed cardboard, such as for example Chromolux~ of about 120 g.
Figures 16 to 18 show a further embodiment of a badge 2c of the present invention which shows the principle of an especially suitable badge according to the invention more clearly and which is suitable in particular for the proof-of-entry device of the present invention.
Here as well a design support 4c and a counter-member 5c, which are both relatively rigid or firm, are connected via a flexible hinge 6c. Furthermore, both parts are preferably secured in a folded position by means of a retaining element 7c.
In an embodiment where the badge 2c is made of a plastic material, the hinge 6c is preferably an integral hinge or a thin portion. The design support 4c preferably comprises a pocket as can be seen in Fig. 17. Furthermore, the retaining element 7c, 7c' is preferably provided as an undercut trunnion 7c at the counter-member 5c, wherein the trunnion 7c engages with a corresponding recess 7c' when the design support 4c and the counter-member 5c are folded.
Preferably, as is also depicted, several trunnions 7c and several recesses 7c' are provided. However, other retaining elements securing the design support 4c and the counter-member 5c in the folded position, such as for example a snap fastener, an adhesive pad and the like, are also conceivable. In the depicted embodiment the trunnion 7c shown in Fig. 17 only shows an undercut at the bottom in the ~ 2~ ~ 27~
unfolded position. Such a design facilitates the engagement of the trunnion 7c with the recess 7c'. The recess 7c' comprises at least one relief which positively engages with the undercut of the trunnion 7c in the folded position.
The counter-member 5c preferably comprises a serration lOc in order to prevent the user's finger from slipping while attaching the badge to his or her clothing. Furthermore, the counter-member 5c comprises a convex element 5c' in the vicinity of its free end which further improves the fastening of the badge 2c to the piece of clothing.
Fig. 18 furthermore shows an advantageous embodiment of the badge 2c intended to give the impression of relatively high quality. The design support 4c comprises a projecting portion 4c' on its sides behind which a transparent plate, for example consisting of 1 mm acrylic glass, is snapped.
The design 9c can then be provided between the design support 4c and the plate 12c. Furthermore, as shown in Fig.
18, a slide opening llc is advantageously provided for the production of the design support 4c from a plastic material.
Figures 19 to 21 show a further embodiment of a proof-of-entry device le according to the present invention with a further embodiment of a badge 2e according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the badge 2e and a validation component 3e are formed integrally. Both elements 2e, 3e are manufactured together for example from a suitable plastic material. In order to ensure an easy separation of the validation component 3e from the badge 2e short fins 12e are provided at some points which have to be severed in order to separate the validation component 3e from the badge 2e. Fig. 19 shows one of many possible arrangements of the fins 12e which in the depicted example should in particular ensure that a design support 4e and a counter-member 5e in the non-validated position remain in the validation component 3e as rigidly as possible.
_ ~ ~1 99 270 Alternatively, a perforation can be provided between the badge 2e and the validation component 3e.
As a hinge 6e, the depicted example shows permanently flexible elements, preferably two metal strips 6e, incorporated in the badge 2e, for example by casting or attaching. The metal strips 6e ensure that the counter-member 5e is permanently flexible relative to the design support 4e as is shown in Fig. 21.
Figures 22 to 25 show a further embodiment of the proof-of-entry device ld according to the present invention with a further embodiment of a badge 2d according to the present invention. The badge 2d as well as a validation component 3d are connected via fins 12d and can easily be separated.
Preferably, they are formed integrally from the same kind of material. In particular Fig. 23 clearly shows the separation of elements 2d, 3d.
A counter-member 5d can preferably be bent relative to a design support 4d by means of integral hinges 6a located between them. Furthermore, a window with an intermediate element lld is provided on the counter-member 5d, which window is closed in the initial position. The intermediate element lld is flexible relative to the counter-member 5d via another preferred integral hinge 6d. Preferably, adhesive areas 13d are provided on the counter-member 5d and the back of the design support 4d at suitable locations. In the initial position they are preferably covered by release paper 14d which can be peeled off the adhesive areas 13d when required, as is shown in Fig. 23. This can be done before or after ~he badge 2d is removed from the validation component 3d.
Figures 24 and 25 show how the intermediate element lld can first be bent to contact the lower part 5d of the counter--_ ~ 2 ~ ~ 9 ~ 7~
member, where it adheres due to the upper adhesive area 13d which is only depicted in Fig. 23.
Then the entire counter-member 5d together with the already bent intermediate element lld is folded onto the back of the design support 4d. In order to ensure a parallel arrangement of the counter-member 5d and the design support 4d with the intermediate element lld inbetween, a spacing element 15d is provided which preferably has a width that approximately corresponds to the thickness of the intermediate element lld.
By means of a second adhesive area 13d, which is shown in Fig. 23 as the bottom-most area, the surface of the intermediate element lld which is adjacent to the design support 4d is permanently adhered to the design support 4d.
Thus, a free end of the counter-member 5d is obtained which is parallel to the design support 4d at a distance so that the badge is imparted the form of a clasp.
The validation components 3d, 3e according to Figures 19 to 23 preferably carry chips, magnetic strips, holographic images and/or bar codes on their front or back sides. If these elements are provided on the front, they may optionally be incorporated advantageously in the design of the validation component 3d, 3e. Thus, in addition, creative effects can be achieved by means of these functional elements.
All the described preferred elements of the badge of the present invention are interchangeable or can be combined with each other.
Preferably, a s~ock of proof-of-entry devices comprises several proof-of-entry devices which are stacked flatly on top of each other. Alternatively, a stock preferably 13 ~ Z 7 0 comprises several proof-of-entry device detachably connected with each other which are for example wound into a roll.
The present invention relates to a proof-of-entry device comprising a basic component and a validation component.
Furthermore, the invention relates to a badge which is suitable in particular for a proof-of-entry device.
Proof-of-entry devices, such as tickets, are known comprising a basic component and a validation component which are purchased together. For validating the proof-of-entry device, the validation component is removed from the basic component. In particular in the case of exnibits and the like, basic components have increasingly been designed more elaborately so as to function as a souvenir for the purchaser of the proof-of-entry device.

According to Fig. 7, a counter-member 5a is provided behind a design support 4a via a hinge 6a comprising a spring 7a. As is also shown in Figures 9 to 11, the hinge 6a comprising a spring 7a causes the counter-member 5a, for example its convex lower end 5a', to be pressed against the back of the design support 4a. A free leg above the element 6a enables the user to apply pressure and thus move the counter-member 5a away from the design support 4a against the spring resistance of the spring 7a in order to attach the badge 2a.
Figures 8 and 9 show that the design support 4a preferably comprises a front pocket in which a design (not shown) can be firmly attached.
Figures 12 to 15 show an embodiment of the badge 2b of the present invention which is suitable in particular for the proof-of-entry device of the present invention. A design support 4b and a counter-member 5b are connected via a hinge 6b. The design support 4b and the counter-member 5b are preferably more rigid or firmer than the hinge 6b connecting them.
Fig. 13 shows a preferred embodiment of such a badge 2b.
The design support 4b and the counter-member 5b are for example formed by films that are bonded or glued together which imparts them a sufficient degree of rigidity. Such a ~2~ ~27~
_ 8 badge 2b can for example have the nature of a check card.
The hinge 6b on the other hand is preferably formed by only one foil which is why it is elastic and/or plastic enough to be bent relative to the design support 4b and the counter-member 5b. The rigidity of the design support 4b and the counter-member 5b is alternatively preferably achieved by rigid plates which are connected by means of a plastic hinge 6b, as for example an aluminum foil, an integral hinge or a thin portion.
At a suitable location on the back of the design support 4b and/or the counter-member 5b a retaining element lb is provided essentially adjacent to the hinge 6b. As shown, this retaining element 7b preferably has several functions.
On the one hand, it can serve as a spacing element between the design support 4b and the counter-member 5b if the counter-member 5b is folded behind the design support 4b as shown in Fig. 14. This ensures that there is a space between the design support 4b and the counter-member 5b so that the badge 2b can be attached to a piece of clothing, for example the lapel of a jacket. On the other hand, on the surface exposed in the unfolded position, the retaining element 7b comprises for example an adhesive which is e.g.
covered with a peelable film in this position. Prior to attaching the badge 2b, the peelable film has to be peeled off the retaining element 7b, which secures the design support 4b and the counter-member 5b in the folded position as shown in Fig. 14. The retaining element 7b is preferably an elastic material such as for example a polyurethane foam, sponge rubber or a dense foamed material.
Figures 13 to 15 show as an example how a design 9b can for example be enclosed between two films 8b and form a design support 4b. In this case, at least the film on the front of the design support 4b should be transparent. The films 8b are preferably adhesive on their inside surface or bonded at those points where they are directly opposite each other.
~ 2~ ~ 27~
It is, however, also conceivable that merely a design 9b firmly attached to one film 8b imparts the necessary firmness to the design support 4b. The counter-member 5b is formed by two films 8b and the hinge 6b is preferably and advantageously formed by one film as shown.
The films 8b in the depicted embodiment preferably have a thickness of 0.5 mm. The design 9b is preferably a printed cardboard, such as for example Chromolux~ of about 120 g.
Figures 16 to 18 show a further embodiment of a badge 2c of the present invention which shows the principle of an especially suitable badge according to the invention more clearly and which is suitable in particular for the proof-of-entry device of the present invention.
Here as well a design support 4c and a counter-member 5c, which are both relatively rigid or firm, are connected via a flexible hinge 6c. Furthermore, both parts are preferably secured in a folded position by means of a retaining element 7c.
In an embodiment where the badge 2c is made of a plastic material, the hinge 6c is preferably an integral hinge or a thin portion. The design support 4c preferably comprises a pocket as can be seen in Fig. 17. Furthermore, the retaining element 7c, 7c' is preferably provided as an undercut trunnion 7c at the counter-member 5c, wherein the trunnion 7c engages with a corresponding recess 7c' when the design support 4c and the counter-member 5c are folded.
Preferably, as is also depicted, several trunnions 7c and several recesses 7c' are provided. However, other retaining elements securing the design support 4c and the counter-member 5c in the folded position, such as for example a snap fastener, an adhesive pad and the like, are also conceivable. In the depicted embodiment the trunnion 7c shown in Fig. 17 only shows an undercut at the bottom in the ~ 2~ ~ 27~
unfolded position. Such a design facilitates the engagement of the trunnion 7c with the recess 7c'. The recess 7c' comprises at least one relief which positively engages with the undercut of the trunnion 7c in the folded position.
The counter-member 5c preferably comprises a serration lOc in order to prevent the user's finger from slipping while attaching the badge to his or her clothing. Furthermore, the counter-member 5c comprises a convex element 5c' in the vicinity of its free end which further improves the fastening of the badge 2c to the piece of clothing.
Fig. 18 furthermore shows an advantageous embodiment of the badge 2c intended to give the impression of relatively high quality. The design support 4c comprises a projecting portion 4c' on its sides behind which a transparent plate, for example consisting of 1 mm acrylic glass, is snapped.
The design 9c can then be provided between the design support 4c and the plate 12c. Furthermore, as shown in Fig.
18, a slide opening llc is advantageously provided for the production of the design support 4c from a plastic material.
Figures 19 to 21 show a further embodiment of a proof-of-entry device le according to the present invention with a further embodiment of a badge 2e according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the badge 2e and a validation component 3e are formed integrally. Both elements 2e, 3e are manufactured together for example from a suitable plastic material. In order to ensure an easy separation of the validation component 3e from the badge 2e short fins 12e are provided at some points which have to be severed in order to separate the validation component 3e from the badge 2e. Fig. 19 shows one of many possible arrangements of the fins 12e which in the depicted example should in particular ensure that a design support 4e and a counter-member 5e in the non-validated position remain in the validation component 3e as rigidly as possible.
_ ~ ~1 99 270 Alternatively, a perforation can be provided between the badge 2e and the validation component 3e.
As a hinge 6e, the depicted example shows permanently flexible elements, preferably two metal strips 6e, incorporated in the badge 2e, for example by casting or attaching. The metal strips 6e ensure that the counter-member 5e is permanently flexible relative to the design support 4e as is shown in Fig. 21.
Figures 22 to 25 show a further embodiment of the proof-of-entry device ld according to the present invention with a further embodiment of a badge 2d according to the present invention. The badge 2d as well as a validation component 3d are connected via fins 12d and can easily be separated.
Preferably, they are formed integrally from the same kind of material. In particular Fig. 23 clearly shows the separation of elements 2d, 3d.
A counter-member 5d can preferably be bent relative to a design support 4d by means of integral hinges 6a located between them. Furthermore, a window with an intermediate element lld is provided on the counter-member 5d, which window is closed in the initial position. The intermediate element lld is flexible relative to the counter-member 5d via another preferred integral hinge 6d. Preferably, adhesive areas 13d are provided on the counter-member 5d and the back of the design support 4d at suitable locations. In the initial position they are preferably covered by release paper 14d which can be peeled off the adhesive areas 13d when required, as is shown in Fig. 23. This can be done before or after ~he badge 2d is removed from the validation component 3d.
Figures 24 and 25 show how the intermediate element lld can first be bent to contact the lower part 5d of the counter--_ ~ 2 ~ ~ 9 ~ 7~
member, where it adheres due to the upper adhesive area 13d which is only depicted in Fig. 23.
Then the entire counter-member 5d together with the already bent intermediate element lld is folded onto the back of the design support 4d. In order to ensure a parallel arrangement of the counter-member 5d and the design support 4d with the intermediate element lld inbetween, a spacing element 15d is provided which preferably has a width that approximately corresponds to the thickness of the intermediate element lld.
By means of a second adhesive area 13d, which is shown in Fig. 23 as the bottom-most area, the surface of the intermediate element lld which is adjacent to the design support 4d is permanently adhered to the design support 4d.
Thus, a free end of the counter-member 5d is obtained which is parallel to the design support 4d at a distance so that the badge is imparted the form of a clasp.
The validation components 3d, 3e according to Figures 19 to 23 preferably carry chips, magnetic strips, holographic images and/or bar codes on their front or back sides. If these elements are provided on the front, they may optionally be incorporated advantageously in the design of the validation component 3d, 3e. Thus, in addition, creative effects can be achieved by means of these functional elements.
All the described preferred elements of the badge of the present invention are interchangeable or can be combined with each other.
Preferably, a s~ock of proof-of-entry devices comprises several proof-of-entry devices which are stacked flatly on top of each other. Alternatively, a stock preferably 13 ~ Z 7 0 comprises several proof-of-entry device detachably connected with each other which are for example wound into a roll.
