Definitions
- Token or token and sorting and / or counting device for these
- the invention relates to a token or a token for casinos, made from a molded body made of thermoplastic material, the surface of which is labeled with the value and possibly a reference to the respective casino and in the volume of which perceptible marking substances are embedded.
- the tokens or tokens for casinos customary in the prior art are forgery-proof in that there are special marking substances in the volume of the plastic body which can be perceived optically and / or with the aid of special physical measurement methods.
- the known marking substances can be, for example, color pigments of a significant color or comparable substances, which can be recognized, for example, by the fact that the tokens or tokens are each illuminated with a white flash of light in a sorting and / or counting machine and the reflection in the the wavelength belonging to the respective color is measured.
- Such tokens or tokens are expensive to manufacture because of the marking substances, and the more expensive the higher the required security standard.
- the invention proposes, starting from a token or token of the type mentioned, that at least one film seal is also melted onto the surface of the shaped body, which is structured by security features, the perception of the marking substances in the volume of the shaped body sufficient surface areas of the molded body remain sufficiently free of the film seal.
- the foil seals which are suitable for the invention and are structured by security features are, for example, in the form of metallized foils which can be melted in the heat sealing method and which are provided with a hologram and, moreover, hidden, possibly particularly coded information, for. B. contain about the value or origin, which can only be made visible with UV, IR or laser light of a certain wavelength or can be read with appropriate optoelectronic devices.
- These foil seals subsequently melted onto the surface of the token or token in the heat-sealing process only cover part of the surface of the token or token, so that sufficient partial areas remain free, through which the presence of the marking substances in the volume of the shaped body can be determined.
- the foil seal can contain additional magnetic data carriers, on which additional magnetic information can be stored, which can be read out with appropriate reading heads, for example when counting and / or sorting the tokens. Further advantages result if foil seals are melted on both sides of the molded body. This ensures that the value can be recognized in any position of the token or token.
- the film seals are expediently arranged on this thickened edge area, so that one can determine by stacking the tokens or tokens which are stacked one on top of the other, whether these are already provided with a foil seal.
- the foil seal melted onto the thickened edge region is itself annular, so that there is an uninterrupted marking in the circumferential direction.
- This ring-shaped foil seal can be seen particularly well if the tokens or tokens are combined into inclined stacks, as is the case, for example, in cash registers, storage containers or the like.
- the object of the invention is further to provide a sorting and / or counting device for tokens or tokens which are provided with the previously described film seals and which contain hidden information.
- the invention therefore furthermore relates to a sorting and counting device for tokens or tokens with foil seals which contain hidden information, characterized by
- the reading device expediently has a UV, IR or laser emitter, the beam of which is directed onto the surface of the film seal, reflected by the film seal and recorded by a sensor and detected for hidden information.
- a reading device certainly distinguishes real chips from fake tokens or tokens and can also easily detect hidden information.
- Figure 1 shows a chip according to the invention in a first embodiment in plan view
- Figure 2 shows a section to Figure 1
- Figure 3 shows a chip according to the invention in a second embodiment in plan view
- Figure 4 shows a section to Figure 3
- Figure 5 schematically shows a sorting
- the molded body made of thermoplastic is designated by the reference number 1.
- the shaped body may have the shape of a flat disc, which is round in the exemplary embodiment but can also have an angular contour.
- Suitable marking substances 2 for example the color pigments, reflecting metal plates, fluorescent substances or the like under UV or IR radiation, are embedded in the volume of the shaped body 1. These marking substances 2 are visible from the outside or can be made visible or perceptible in some other way using suitable physical methods.
- the molded body 1 is also appropriately labeled on its surface with a number indicating the value and, if appropriate, with a reference to the respective casino.
- the molded body 1 has a circumferential thicker edge 3 on the outside and a central region 4 which is made thinner and is accordingly better translucent.
- additional foil seals 5 and 6 are melted onto the surface of the molded body 1, which are structured by security features.
- the film seals 5 and 6 preferably consist of a metallized thermoplastic film, the metallic area of which is structured by a hologram.
- the hologram also contains hidden information that can only be read using UV, IR and / or laser light with a specific wavelength.
- the foil seals also contain magnetic data carriers that can be read using appropriate magnetic reading devices.
- the film seals 5 are designed as relatively small circular surfaces which are regularly arranged in the thinner central region of the molded body 1.
- the film seals 5 leave the largest surface area of the central region 4 free, so that the marking substances located in the volume of the molded body can be perceived unhindered by the eye or suitable aids in the remaining free surface areas.
- the film seals are ring-shaped and melted all around onto the thickened edge 3 of the molded body 1. This has the advantage that the foil seals 6 can also be perceived in a stack of tokens or tokens if this stack is slightly offset laterally over its height from token to token or if the tokens are held at an angle to one another in a holder.
- the sorting and counting device shown in FIG. 5 has a feed container 10 into which the tokens or tokens to be counted can be thrown in an unordered manner.
- the feed container 10 is followed by a separating device 11, from which the tokens or tokens are fed to a conveyor 12, on which the individual tokens lie side by side in a row.
- the separating device 11 is followed by a reading device 13 for reading the hidden security features.
- This reading device 13 has a UV, IR or laser emitter 14, the beam 15 of which is directed onto the surface of the foil seal carried past. This beam 15 is reflected by the film seal and picked up by a sensor 16 which detects the hidden information contained in the reflected beam.
- the detector of the reading device 13 controls a sorting device 17 which counts the tokens or tokens and sorts them according to their value into separate receptacles 18.
