sealing paper and the like have been used for confectionery such as
chocolate, candy and the like which were packed in a small box, a
bag, ets., however, these stickers have mere indications necessary
for respective goods. Thus, the stickers have never been used for
the purpose of services for buyers, given by sellers and
manufacturers of said goods. For example the stickers have not been
used to provide lottery tickets, premium tickets and the like. In
most cases, these service tickets are made separately and contained
in a packed box together with the confectionery, so that
manufacturing and enclosing thereof are troublesome and not
advantageous from economical viewpoints.

sheet portion becomes a label or a seal available as a service
ticket or other service elements.
A further object of the invention is to provide a sticker, in which
a sheet and each part of a release paper under said sheet are
united in one body through an adhesive layer to form a parting line
capable of being cut out and to become a lid for an opening of a
container capable of opening and closing thereof freely.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a sticker, in
which said sheet and its clipping may be easily detached and
attached.
Still further object of the invention is to provide said sticker
which may be advantageously manufactured from economical viewpoints

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, there is shown an embodiment of stickers
according to this invention.
A sticker (A) comprises sheets 1 made of a proper flexible sheet
material, adhesive layers 2 made of pressure sensitive adhesive.
The adhesive layer 2 has a first, upper surface in contact with the
underside of said sheet. On a second lower surface of said adhesive
layer a detachable release paper 3 is temporarily attached. In said
sheet 1 there is provided a parting line 4 to form a clipping 1a of
said sheet by cutting out a part thereof. When the sheet 1 is
detached from the release paper 3, the clipping 1a cut out along
the parting line 4 is left on the release paper, thus said sticker
(A) may be detached from said clipping in form of an annular piece
1b of sheet material. On the back of the detached clipping 1a and
the annular piece 1b respective adhesive layers 2a and 2b are
exposed, so that they may be stuck on different surfaces
respectively. Letters or marks related to lot number, quantity,
etc. (FIGS. 15A, 15B), as well as to name of medicines can be
printed on the clipping and correspondingly on the annular piece to
prepare stickers for example for the use of a pharmaceutical
company. When the company sends the medicines to sales stores. The
annular piece 1b is detached from corresponding stickers 1a in
every package of medicines to stick the annular piece on a seal or
the like; the clipping 1a thereof can then be stuck on an invoice
to send it to a recipient, who is thereby enabled to check name,
quantity, etc. by collating the annular piece on the packing with
the clipping on the invoice. In this case, since indication pieces
divided from one sheet are respectively stuck on the packed
medicines and on the invoice, mistake or trouble upon entry would
never take place.
In FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, another embodiment of the sticker according to
this invention is shown. This sticker (B) is different from said
sticker (A) in that the release paper is provided with a parting
line. In a release paper 13, in a lower portion of a sheet 11 which
is temporarily attached on said release paper by an adhesive layer
12, at a portion outside of a parting line 14 which is forming a
clipping 11a of said sheet, a parting line 15 is provided, by which
a piece 13a of the release paper may be cut out. In this sticker
(B), when the sheet 11 is detached from the release paper 13, said
sheet will temporarily retain the piece 13a on the adhesive layer
12 thereof, while at a portion outside of the piece of release
paper which is temporarily retained, an adhesive layer 12a of a
portion of said adhesive layer 12 is obtained in an exposed state,
and said layer 12a can be stuck on the seal of a packing box 16 of
candy. (Cf. FIG. 15)
The parting line 14 enables that the clipping 11a is cut out from
said sheet and an annular piece 11b is left on a sealing portion
16a, and a piece 13a of release paper temporarily stuck on the
adhesive layer 12 thereof, so that when said clipping 11a is
detached, it will leave said annular piece and said piece of
release paper on said sealing portion and on its back an adhesive
12b appears. Such a sticker applicable to a lot of merchandise is
shown in FIG. 15A and FIG. 15B. On clipping 11a and annular piece
11b, lot numbers such as those shown at 17, are respectively
indicated. Thus boys who bought candy may check winning numbers in
publication of lottery results and clippings 11a having winning
numbers can then be stuck on a postcard 18 and sent back to the
seller to exchange them for some presents.
A sheet 11' of a sticker, which carries a design in such a manner
that the surface of a clipping 11'a becomes a badge, is stuck in
stead of a label of a bag or a box 16' packing the candy, and boys
who bought the candy may stick said clipping on their breast or
note book to play (Cf. FIG. 16A and FIG. 16B).
The surface of said clipping may be made a caricature or a
landscape picture. These clippings may be stuck on a thick paper
such as a cardboard to make a pasteboard dump, and they may be
sticked in a collection book for amusement.
In FIG. 6, FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, there is shown another sticker
according to this invention. This sticker (C) is the same with the
stickers (A) and (B), except in the point that parting lines
provided on the release paper under the sheet are lying on both
sides of a parting line which forms a clipping of the sheet. In a
release paper 23 there are provided a parting line 25 for cutting
out a piece 23a of the release paper at a portion corresponding to
the outside of a parting line 24 which devides said sheet into a
clipping 21a and an annular piece 21b, at a portion under a sheet
temporarily stuck on a release paper 23 by an adhesive layer 22,
and by a parting line 25a which cuts out an auxiliary piece 23b of
the release paper from said release paper piece of a portion
corresponding to the inside of said parting line 24. In the same
manner with said sticker (B), the sheet 21 of this sticker (C)
temporarily sticks the piece 23a of release paper (accompanied by
the auxiliary piece 23b of release paper), which is cut out by the
parting line 25 provided on the outside of said parting line 24, on
the adhesive layer 22 thereof. On the other hand, a part of
adhesive layer 22a appears on the outside of said piece 23a of
release paper, so that the layer can be attached to packed goods
similarly to the case of sticker (B), but in this case, the sheet
21 has the parting line 24 and the piece 23a of release paper
provided with a parting line 25b to cut out the auxiliary piece 23b
of release paper. Accordingly, when the clipping 21a is detached
from this sheet, the auxiliary piece 23b of release paper
temporarily sticks to the adhesive laayer 22b of said clipping, and
a part 22c of said adhesive layer appears at a portion
corresponding to the outside of said temporary sticking auxiliary
piece. This clipping, if desired, also the auxiliary piece of
ground paper temporarily sticking to the adhesive layer of the
clipping, may be used similarly to the clipping of said sticker
(B).
When the clipping 21a is detached from the sheet 21 sticking to
some goods, said clipping is detached from its adhesive layer 22b
with the auxiliary piece 23b, and a hole 26 corresponding to said
auxiliary piece occurs in the remaining piece 23a of release paper
as well as an inner marginal portion 23'b of an annular piece 23'a
of the piece of release paper which is left uncut from said piece
of release paper. Therefore, the exposed adhesive layer 22a of said
sheet 21 may stick on a marginal portion of an opeining of a
container 27 receiving granular cleanser within to cover up the
opening of said container. (FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B). When the
clipping 21a is detached from this sheet, the clipping is stripped
off together with the auxiliary piece 23b to open the hole 26, so
that a required quantity of goods may be easily taken out by
tilting said container. And, the exposed adhesive layer 22c of the
detached clipping may stick on the exposed inner marginal portion
23'b of the piece of release paper, which is remained at the
marginal portion of the opening of container, to close the opening
easily. Since said inner marginal portion 23'b is detachable, no
adhesive property is retained after the clipping 21a is stripped
off, so that no cleanser is attached to said portion. And, if the
cleanser is attached, it may be easily removed by wiping it by
cloth or paper, so that the adhesive power of adhesive layer 22c of
the clipping is not hindered but the clipping may be used
repeatedly.
In the above case, a connecting portion 24a may be provided at a
portion of the parting line 24 for cutting out the clipping 21a of
the sheet. Said connecting portion serves as a hinge to facilitate
the opening and closing of the clipping as well as to prevent the
clipping from being lost when it is detached.
Parting lines 35a and 35b which form piece 33a and auxiliary piece
33b of release paper to be provided on a release paper 33 of said
stickers (B) and (C) may be provided with a portion thereof at a
portion 36 overlapped with a parting line 34 for forming a clipping
31a of a sheet 31 on said release paper (Cf. FIG. 8).
In FIG. 9 to FIG. 11, there is shown a sticker having an elongation
continued from a piece of release paper. COntinued from a piece 53a
of release paper cut out by a parting line 55 provided on a release
paper 53 of a portion under a sheet 51, extending over the release
paper of a portion elongated outside of the sheet 51 as one body
with said piece of release paper, a parting line 55a is provided in
succession to the parting line 55 to form an elongation 53b of said
release paper portion. When this sticker uses the sheet 51, the
elongation 53b formed outside of this sheet is picked with fingers
and pulled upwardly, thus it may be easily detached from the
release paper. And, when this sticker is stuck on something, said
elongation 53b is picked, so that the adhesive layer does not
adhere to the fingers, thus making the handling easy, accurate and
prompt.
In FIG. 12, there is shown a sticker similar to the last one,
provided with an elongation 63c extending in succession to an
auxiliary piece of release paper.
In succession to an auxiliary piece 63b of release paper to be cut
out by a parting line 65a provided on a piece 63a of release paper,
extending over a release paper 63 of a portion elongated outside of
a sheet 61, a parting line 65b is provided to form an elongation
63c to be cut out as one body with said auxiliary piece 63b of
release paper.
As to stickers having elongations to the piece and the auxiliary
piece of release paper as mentioned above, a further variant is
shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14. In an annular piece 71c surrounded
between a peripheral portion 71b outside of a sheet 71 and a
parting line 74 dividing a clipping 71a of said sheet, there is
provided a dividing line 76 directed approximately to the center of
sheet from said peripheral portion 71b, at a portion corresponding
to the upside of an elongation 73c provided in succession to a
piece 73a of release paper. When said clipping 71a is detached, the
elongation 73c is picked with fingers and pulled upward, then the
annular piece 71c is turned up on both sides from its dividing line
76 and detached from the elongation, and further the clipping 71a
cut out by a parting line 74 may be easily detached. When the
clipping is detached through the elongation, the annular piece of
sheet remained in the sticking portion does not disturb in the
least. After the clipping is detached, a turned up end portion 71d
of said annular piece may be use for sticking again, if
necessary.
Although the invention has been described in several forms of
embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not
limited to these specific embodiments thereof but various changes
may be made in the scope of sprit of the invention as defined in
the appended claims.
