Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to an attachment for decorating menu books that can be retrofitted to add variety to existing menu books used in restaurants, cafeterias, izakayas, and other eating establishments, and that can give a good impression to customers by adding various colors to them. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, restaurants have listed the various dishes, drinks, and other items they offer to customers in menu books so that customers can select and order them as they like. Many menu books have the restaurant's name and logo printed or foil-stamped on a plain cover, creating a unique and individual look for each restaurant.

[0003] Another example of a menu table is the laminated card shown in Patent Document 1. The laminated card in Patent Document 1 is made by covering the front and back of a card on which predetermined information such as the name and price of a dish is written with a resin film.

[0004] In such a conventionally proposed menu book having a laminated card structure, even if the written contents are soiled by, for example, a dish, they can be easily wiped clean, allowing for long-term use and requiring no special maintenance, making them easy to use. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3010251 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, with such menu books made up of laminated cards, if they are used for a long period of time, they tend to remain unchanged and customers may become bored with them, and even if a variety of food and drink is offered, there is a risk that they will give the impression that the menu items are not very different.

[0007] Furthermore, changing the menu book itself or adding a seasonal theme requires replacing the menu book itself, which is costly, time-consuming, and troublesome.

[0008] Therefore, this invention was devised in consideration of the various circumstances that have existed in the past as described above, and aims to provide an attachment for decorating menu books that can be simply and easily attached to existing menu books, thereby giving a different impression from previous menu books, and ultimately giving a fresh impression to various foods and drinks that are still offered as before, thereby increasing sales. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention provides an attachment device that can be fixed to a menu book M, characterized by having an attachment device main body 1 of a predetermined shape formed so as to cover part of the surface of the menu book M, with an appropriate content display 2 on the surface, and a fixing attachment means 3 on the back for fixing to the menu book M. The attachment body 1, which is fixed to the surface of the vertically long rectangular menu book M, can be configured by forming it into a vertically long trapezoidal shape. The display object 2 can be configured as a geometric pattern, a Japanese pattern, a wood grain pattern, a landscape pattern such as a city or a mountain village, a natural pattern such as a plant or animal, or a message such as an advertisement. The fastening means 3 may be configured as a double-sided adhesive tape covered by a removable release liner 4 .

[0010] In the menu book decoration attachment device of this invention, which is configured as described above, the fixing action of the fixing and mounting means 3 allows the menu book M to be decorated with various display items 2, bringing about various changes while still making use of the existing menu book M, and making a good impression on customers of restaurants and other establishments, and providing entertainment. The fixing and mounting means 3 reliably fixes the attachment device main body 1 to the menu book M, maintains a stable fixed state for a long period of time, and reduces peeling of the attachment device itself and management problems. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] Since this device is configured as explained above, by attaching it to an existing menu book M, it is possible to make use of the existing menu book M while changing the display content of the display item 2, which not only improves the impression that the restaurant or other establishment leaves on customers, but also is inexpensive because it only requires attachment, and since it cannot be easily removed, it can be used for a long time.

[0012] This is because, in this invention, a display material 2 is applied to the surface of an attachment device main body 1 of a predetermined shape that covers part of the surface of the menu book M, and a fixed attachment means 3 is provided on the back side.Thus, while the structure is simple, it can give a different impression to existing menu books M, and can be used for a long period of time, helping to increase the appeal of restaurants and other establishments to customers.

[0013] The display 2 can be a geometric pattern, a landscape pattern, a natural pattern, or even a message such as an advertisement, thereby giving customers a change and a good impression according to each, and allowing each customer who visits the restaurant to enjoy the atmosphere.

[0014] The fixing and mounting means 3 using double-sided adhesive tape can be easily attached and fixed to the menu book M by the adhesive surface exposed by peeling off the release paper 4, and is easy to handle, and the menu book M can be used for a long period of time while maintaining a stable fixed state.

[0015] Furthermore, it is possible to decorate while making use of the existing menu book M, and it can be used for seasonal redecorating, brand reconstruction, and presentation of special menus, for example. Once attached, it does not come off easily, so there is an advantage in that there is less peeling and less maintenance trouble with long-term use.

[0016] The reference numerals in the sections of the means for solving the above problems and the effects of the invention are used to facilitate reference to the components shown in the drawings. The invention is not limited to the structure, shape, etc. shown by the descriptions and the reference numerals in the drawings. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0017] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] This is a cross-sectional view including an enlarged view of a portion when attached to a menu book. [Figure 3] FIG. [Figure 4] Similarly, (A), (B), (C), and (D) in the figure are front views showing several examples with different surface patterns. [Figure 5] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the same when attached in another embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 shown in the drawings denotes the attachment device main body, which is formed from a plate-like material of a predetermined thickness and is designed to be attached by covering part of the cover of a predetermined menu book M. The thickness of the attachment device is, for example, about 1 to 3 mm, and it is made of synthetic resin, wood, paper, metal, or other materials.

[0019] The surface of the attachment body 1 may have the base color of the material of the attachment body 1 itself, or may be provided with various patterns, designs, letters, symbols, and other indicia 2.

[0020] Further, on the back surface of the attachment device main body 1, a fixing means 3 for fixing and attaching the attachment device main body 1 to the menu book M is provided.

[0021] 1 to 4 is formed, for example, in a vertically elongated trapezoidal shape so that it can be attached to the binding side of, for example, a vertically elongated rectangular menu book M. Naturally, this attachment device main body 1 can be formed, for example, in a triangular shape as shown in Fig. 5 so as to cover the lower half of the menu book M, or, although not shown, in any shape so as to cover an appropriate portion of the cover of the menu book M. The outer shape of the attachment device main body 1 is not limited to the so-called geometric shape as shown in the figures, and can also be formed in an outer shape that imitates the outer shapes of natural objects such as plants and animals.

[0022] The display object 2 provided on the surface of the attachment body 1 is not limited to a grid pattern as shown in FIG. 1, but may also be a hemp leaf pattern (see FIG. 4(A)), a three-shape pattern (see FIG. 4(B)), a checkered pattern (see FIG. 4(C)), a Seigaiha pattern (see FIG. 4(D)), or other geometric patterns as shown in FIG. 4, as well as a Japanese pattern, a wood grain pattern, a landscape pattern of a city or a mountain village, a pattern of natural objects such as plants and animals, or a message such as an advertisement.

[0023] The fixing means 3 is, for example, a strip of double-sided adhesive tape affixed to the back of the attachment device main body 1, and the adhesive surface is exposed when the release paper 4 is peeled off, allowing it to be fixed to the menu book M. Of course, it is not limited to double-sided adhesive tape, and other materials such as thermocompression resin or industrial adhesives can also be used to permanently fix it to the menu book M.

[0024] It is preferable that the fixing means 3 cannot be removed once it has been fixed to the menu book M, but it may be removed and replaced with another attachment if necessary.

[0025] Next, an example of how to use the above-described embodiment will be described. The attachment device of this invention can be attached to, for example, the cover of a predetermined existing menu book M by using the fixing means 3 provided on the back side, for example, the adhesive surface exposed after peeling off the release paper 4. In this case, the pattern of the display material 2 selected as appropriate for seasonal changes, store redecorating, brand restructuring, special menus, etc. can add variety to the menu book M, which can also be used to create a new atmosphere in a restaurant or other establishment.
