Description: Portable information carrier, especially portable advertisement device Technical Field The invention relates to a portable information carrier suppliable with marks subsequently made and usable for several purposes, especially for advertising, which consists of a mam body formed by signal carrying surfaces as well as a protection sheet made of a transparent material for covering at least a part of the signal carrying surfaces, the inner side of the protection sheet facing the main body is divided to a first and a second adhesive surface, sticking material is inserted between the first adhesive surface of the protection sheet and the mam body, the protection sheet is fixed with the help of the sticking material to the mam body and a separating layer is inserted temporarily between the second adhesive layer of protection sheet and the mam body Background Art A number of solutions is known for display and wide propagation of information. Different kinds of cards having a paper or plastic basic material provided with colour prints are widely used for this Such cards are used now for identifying persons entering any kept and closed area as well as for employment of so-called „bank card" services The essence of these aids lies in that the card is provided with differentiating marks e.g. a symbol, an identifying number etc , which can also be subsequently entired with the signature and perhaps the portrait of the designated person The information carrying card prepared in such a manner is supplied with a protection cover preventing other persons from reaching the information printed or written subsequently onto them. The GB 1 569 850 Patent Specification discloses an information carrying security card and GB 2 071 570 Patent Specification discloses an information carrying security envelope The subject-matters of these solutions consist of a mam body and a protection sheet which can be stuck to the mam body The differentiating marks are made on the side of the main body facing the protection sheet so that the information carrying zone is not reachable for other persons any longer Before the final placing of the protection sheet - when it is already stuck - takes place, the surface thereof covered with sticking material is provided with a separating layer which can be removed easily from the surface covered with sticking material. Undoubtedly, the construction provides a complete safety for the signal carrying surfaces, but because of its difficult handling and special utilization it is not widely used in everyday life until now. Summary of the Invention The purpose to be achieved by the solution according to the invention is to improve the known solutions' embodiments and to create such a king of information carrier allowing a wide-spread utilization of this means which have been used only for special security purposes until now. The embodiment according to the invention is based on the recognition that the puφose can be achieved the separating layer being placed between the main body and the protection sheet is formed in another way than it is known and specially situated parts are created on the main body as well. In accordance with the purpose of the invention, the information carrier suppliable with marks made subsequently and usable for several purposes, especially for advertising consists of a main body formed by signal carrying surfaces as well as a protection sheet made of a transparent material for covering at least a part of the signal carrying surfaces, the inner side of the protection sheet facing the main body is divided to a first and a second adhesive surface, sticking material is inserted between the first adhesive surface of the protection sheet and the main body, the protection sheet is fixed with the help of the sticking material to the main body and a separating layer is inserted temporarily between the second adhesive layer of protection sheet and which is embodied in such a manner that the separating layer is provided with at least one information reproducing zone and marks made on it and with one or more signal recording surfaces for receiving distinguishing marks subsequently made on them are placed immediately on the carrying surface of the main body. Furtheron, it is also convenient that the second adhesive surface of protecting sheet and/or a part of the carrying surface of the main body covered by the second adhesive surface of the protecting sheet are at least partially covered with sticking material and the separating layer is temporarily connected to the sticking material It can also be favourable, that the size of protection sheet agrees with the size of the signal carrying surface of the main body. One size of the separating layer is smaller than the corresponding size of the protection sheet In another embodiment of the portable information carrier the size of at least a part of the separating layers is greater than that of the protection sheets The size of at least a part of separating layers agrees with the size of the protection sheets It is advantageous as well that both sides of the mam body and the whole surface of the separating layer can be used for displaying information, at least a part of which can be used for advertising and another part of them is suitable for protection of any marks made subsequently e.g with the help of writing materials A further advantage of the information carrier according to the invention is that the portable information carrier can be used in a rather wide-ranging utilization field such as admission tickets, marketing means for encouraging the people to buying, as well as for satisfying a new king of passion for collecting, autograph-collecting cards. It can be also regarded as advantageous that the advertising means can be manufactured with simple means and known technology and since the number of the utilizable ones is increasing - in comparison with the utilization areas until now - so the costs of manufacture are significantly decreasing despite the specific embodiment Brief description of the drawings The invention is now described in detail in connection with an implementation example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which. Fig.1. illustrates an embodiment of the mobil information carrier in front view, Fig.2. is an illustration of the mobil information carrier shown in Fig.1. in a perspective view taken from direction II Industrial Applicability Fig.1. shows a possible embodiment of the portable information carrier usable for several purposes, mainly for advertising according to the invention which is in the above case an admission ticket suitable for visiting a football match. It can be shown that on the signal carrying surface 1a of the card-shaped main body 1 - made of plastic, preferably of PVC - there is a signal recording surface 1c for receiving distinguishing marks made subsequently 1 b. This signal recording surface 1 c is formed in such a way that - in contrary to the known solutions - any marks can be made on it with any kind of writing means, such as pencil, fibre-pen, ball-pen or fountain-pen. Naturally, other marks e.g. printed pictures or other figures can also be made during the manufacture on this signal carrying surface 1 a and on the signal carrying surface 1a - shown in Fig. 2. - situated on the other side of the main body 1. In this case the distinguishing mark 1 b is the portrait of a player of the local football team as well his personal data while the distinguishing mark 1b is in an other case - as it is shown in Fig. 1. - is a signature written to the signal recording surface 1c. Fig. 1. also illustrates that a protection sheet 3 made of transparent material is joined to the signal carrying surface 1a. The protection sheet 3 is divided along an edge 3d of the protection sheet 3 to a first adhesive surface 3b and a second adhesive surface 3c where the first adhesive surface 3b is fixed firmly with the help of a sticking layer 5 to the main body 1. The inner side 3a of the second adhesive surface 3c is covered with sticking material 4, which allows the temporary insertion of the separating layer 2 between the main body 1 and the protection sheet 3. The first function of the separating layer 2 is to prevent the eventual untimely contact between the sticking material 4 covering the inner side 3a of the protection sheet 3 and the main body 1. Its second function is to carry the marks 2b placed on its information reproducing zone 2a. This mark 2b can be e.g. a simple coloured marking, but also a set of characters including the features of a certain admission ticket e.g. its serial number, the number of the sector and seat, too, where the admission ticket is valid. During the utilization of the multipurpose portable information carrier the main body 1 is supplied in its basic state with the protection sheet 3 as well as the separating layer 2 placed on the inner side 3a of the protection sheet 3. It should be noted that the sticking material 4 can be also joined to the signal carrying surface 1 a of the main body 1 facing the protection sheet 3. In occasion of participation in a program the person controlling the admission ticket supplies the main body 1 and the separating layer 2 as well with an appropriate marking and so the person having such a portable information carrier may enter the scene of the program, e.g. a football match. The mobil information carrier, however can be utilized in many other manner. For example, the signature of the player whose portrait is illustrated on the signal carrying surface 1a of the main body 1 can be namely ..obtained" which plays essentially the role of the distinguishing mark 1b. As soon as the appropriate distinguishing mark 1 b is on its final place, the separating layer 2 can be removed from the inner side 3a of the protection sheet 3 and so the second adhesive surface 3c provided with sticking material 4 can be finally matched to the signal carrying surface 1a of the main body 1 which - as well as the distinguishing mark 1 b made subsequently on the signal recording surface 1c - is protected against any exterior effect. The removal of the separating layer 2 from the inner side 3a of the protection sheet 3 and the matching of the second adhesive surface 3c to the signal carrying surface 1a of the main body 1 without any wrinkle and air bubble can be realized in that way that the separating layer 2 leaves the firmly fixed first adhesive surface 3b along the edge 3d and moves off outwards from the edge 3d and so the separating layer 2 moves away from the second adhesive surface 3c supplied with sticking mateπal while the second adhesive surface 3c is completely matched to the signal carrying surface 1a of the main body 1. Naturally the protection sheet 3 can also be formed in such a way that it can be stuck completely to one or all the signal carrying surfaces 1a of the main body 1. Depending on these the mobil information carrier can be utilized in several manner e g as a ticket or a collecting card Besides these it can be put on market as a gift The portable information carrier according to the invention can be utilized widely and goes far to comply with any requirement Therefore it is possible e g in case of using as a security portable information carrier to apply a data carrier - carrying card 1 - protection sheet covering the main body 1 which is provided with further marks - e g slots - due to which the removal of the protection sheet which has already been matched to the carrying card is not possible any longer without damages, which can make impossible the further utilization of the information carrier Anyway, the removal of the protection sheet is not possible without damages and so it is also impossible to forge such information carrier cards resp documents formed in this manner Furtheron, the protection sheet itself can also be provided with optically non-disturbing and only in a certain angle visible marks - water-mark In case of an information carrier utilized for security purposes the main body of the carrier card can be a kineogramm or hologram and on the carrier card itself there can also be marks - identical with the slots on the protection sheet - which serve for further protection against forgery and in case of an attempt to separate the carrier card and protection sheet both of these surface are damaged so much that it makes impossible the further utilization. The information carrier according to the invention is also suitable for carrying electronic data and this electronic information carrier can be formed in the same way as mentioned above and only supplementary elements can be entired on the surface of the carrying sheet e g the microchip magnetic line codes can be read off without any difficulties The quality and quantity of data carried by the carrying sheet depend on the utilization field. The most simple utilization field is the satisfaction of the passion for collecting getting more and more popular. In this case the main purpose is to collect autographs and all the data characterizing the player - the name of the club, the age of the player - are indicated on the carrying sheet Index of signs of references 1 main body 1a signal carrying surface 1b distinguishing mark 1c signal recording surface 2 separating layer 2a information reproducing zone 2b mark 3 protection sheet 3a inner side 3b first adhesive surface 3c second adhesive surface 3d edge 4 sticking material 5 sticking layer
