  • Coupon document enabling a user to reveal one coupon while destroying another coupon
    Patent number: 5174609
    Abstract: A coupon document enables a user to reveal one of two coupons in a manner which causes the other coupon to be destroyed. The document comprises first and second panels held together along their outer peripheral edges by releasable glue. Each panel has a hidden inner side on which coupon indicia is imprinted. Each panel includes a pull strip which, when pulled off, destroys the coupon indicia on the respective panel while enabling the coupon indicia on the other panel to be revealed.

  • Retail coupon document having a double ply panel
    Patent number: 5167429
    Abstract: A retail coupon document contains two coupons which are hidden from a coupon user, the coupons being for different values. The user selects and pulls one of two intersecting pull strips, thereby revealing one of the coupons and destroying the other, depending upon which pull strip is selected. The pull strips are formed by perforated division lines which are so arranged that a downstream portion of each pull strip passes through one of the coupons. Thus, the revealed (non-destroyed) coupon will possess such downstream perforations. The perforated division lines are formed in a two-ply panel of the coupon and are arranged such that each pull strip is less resistant to being pulled off in an upstream portion thereof than in a downstream portion thereof. The division lines are formed in both plies, with the perforations in one ply being staggered relative to the perforations in the other ply in at least a downstream section of the coupon.

The pull strips are formed by perforated division lines which are so arranged that each pull strip passes through one of the coupons, whereby the revealed (non-destroyed) coupon will possess perforations of one of the pull strips. The pull strips are oriented parallel to a longer dimension of each coupon and parallel to the grain of the paper.
