Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a code seal, and particularly to a code seal used as a printed circuit of an information processing device.

[Conventional technology]

In general, consumable parts for an information processing device are specified to be compatible with the information processing device. Conventionally, this type of seal simply lists the name, model name, model number, etc. of the consumable part.
By confirming this, consumable parts were associated with each other.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Conventionally, there has been no means to mechanically recognize consumable parts in information processing devices (for example, electrical appliances), so there has been no means to prevent this from occurring even if inappropriate consumable parts are used.

[Means for solving problems]

The code seal of this invention connects the conductive pattern formed on a rectangular insulating sheet to line segment A on the sheet.
Centering on , conductive patterns are lined up in a row on one side, and a group of patterns are arranged in a line on the other side in such a way that the notch holes and terminal parts are connected or released.
When folded back around line segment A, the sheet is positioned so that the terminal portion appears on the surface, and the sheet is folded around line segment A and temporarily adhered.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the code seal 10 is folded and has adhesive parts 11 and 12 covered with release paper at both ends. The back side of this code seal is passed through the cut 14 to the terminal part 1 of the conductive pattern as shown in FIG.
3a, 13b, 13c, and 13d are formed so that they appear.

FIG. 3 shows the cord seal 10 in this embodiment in an expanded state. In FIG. 3, the cord seal 10 is connected to the terminal portion 1 of the conductive pattern around the line segment A.
3a, ~13d, 14a~14d and notch 15
The positions of a to 15d (distances L ₁ , L ₂ ) are determined, and the terminal portions 13 a, to 13 d of the conductive pattern on one side are printed so that the positions of the conductive terminal portions 14 a to 14 d of the opposite side match, respectively. Conductive terminal part 1
The line 14e connects the lines 4b to 14d to each other.
is formed.

Figure 4 shows how to utilize the code seal of the present invention. In FIG. 4, a printer 42, which is one of the information processing devices, has a toner input lid 43.
A toner box 41 is placed on top of this. The toner box 41 has a lid 41a with the code seal 10 of this embodiment.
1 and is designed to be sealed. Also printer 42
The toner box 41 is located near the toner input lid 43.
Terminal portion 13a of code sticker 10 affixed to
Contact terminals 42a, 42 are placed at the locations that match 13d.
There are b, 42c, and 42d.

FIG. 5 shows the toner box with the toner input lid open. In FIG. 5, the toner input lid 41a
Opening indicates that the cord seal 10 has broken and that the cord has disappeared.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention provides an inexpensive code sticker with a structure in which a conductive pattern is printed on an insulating sheet and is folded so that the conductive terminal part appears on the surface. By providing a contact terminal that fits the terminal part of the seal, the code on the seal can be read by checking whether there is continuity or non-continuity between the terminals, and the code can be easily destroyed by expanding the code seal. has.
