Field of invention.
The present invention relates to a foldable sheet with calling cards, tickets or the like, with hidden information.
Background art.
The document US 20030218329 A 1 describes a sheet which is foldable to a label with a few pages. This label can not be folded to form an unit similar to a book with a great number of pages, e. g. 15 pages or more, with a lot of cards, tickets or the like and which unit is easy to be opened for detaching the cards, tickets or the like one by one and to be closed again after that.
Object of the present invention.
The object of the present invention is to create a foldable sheet so that it can be folded to an unit similar to a small book with a lot of pages including cards, tickets or the like.
This is arrived at by the fact that the sheet according to the invention is caracterized by the contet of the following claims. The claimed sheet is easily foldable to a unit similar to a small book with a lot of pages with cards, tickets or the like and which is easy to be repetedly opend for detaching the cards, tickets or the like from it and which thereafter is easy to be closed again. Moreover, this unit similar to a book is easy to handle, to store and to transport.

Description of the preferred embodyment.
According to the invention a sheet 1 of paper, plastic or of another suitable material or a combination of several materials in formed with cards 15, tickets or the like with hidden information 16. The information 16 is covered by a cover 17.
The sheet 1 can be folded to an unit 10 similar to a small book. For this reason the sheet 1 is provided with first, second and third fold lines 2,5 and 6. The first foldline 2 devides the sheet 1 into a first and a second part 3,4. The first part 3 of the sheet 1 is provided with the second and third fold lines 5,6 along which the first part 3 is foldable into a front page 7, a bottom page 8 and between them a spine 9.
The second part 4 of the sheet 1 is provided with fourth fold lines 14a along which the second part 4 is foldable to a stack 13 consisting of third pages 1 1. This stack 13 is foldable along the first fold line 2 over the bottom page 7.
The front page 7 is foldable along the third fold line 6 over the stack 13. The thickness B4 of the spine 9 is essentially the same as the thickness of the stack 13.
The fold line 14a can be a line of weakness at the same time and there are other lines 14b of weakness which are positioned perpendicular to the lines 14a of weakness. These lines 14a, 14b of weakness devide at least parts of the sheet 1 into the cards 15, tickets or the like, which are tearable from the sheet 1 along the lines 14a, 14b of weakness.
According to the sheet 1 shown in figures 1 -3 only the second part 4 of the sheet 1 , but not the front page 7 and the bottom page 8, is devided by lines 14a, 14b of weakness into cards 15, tickets or the like. As shown all parts of the second part 4 can be devided by the lines 14a, 14b into cards 15, tickets or the like.
According to a first alternative of the sheet 1 shown in figures 4 and 5 the bottom page 8 (or at least parts thereof) can be devided into cards 15, tickets or the like by lines 14a, 14b of weakness.
According to a second alternative of the sheet 1 shown in figures 6 and 7 half of the front page 7 can be devided into cards 15, tickets or the like by lines 14a, 14b of weakness. The rest of the front page 7 can be intended for visible information (not shown).
According to a third alternative of the sheet 1 shown in figures 8 and 9 all parts of the front page 7 can be devided into cards 15, tickets or the like.
The lines 14a, 14b of weakness can at least partly be perforation lines.
As described, the thickness B4 of the spine 9 and the thickness of the stack 13 are essentially the same and if the spine 9 has a great thickness, the stack 13 can include a lot of third pages 1 1 , e. g. 15 pages or much more. Each third page 1 1 can include 10 cards 15, tickets or the like or more than that, and one unit 10 can for instance include much more than a hundred cards 15, tickets or the like.
The cards 15 can be calling cards or cards of any other kind, the tickets can be lottery tickets, railway tickets, tube tickets or tickets of any other kind. The hidden information can be PIN-codes, lottery numbers or other numbers or symbols and it can be made visible by removing the cover 17. This cover 17 can be a removable sheet or a substance which is scratchable from the card 15 or similar.
