Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] There are still many people using notebooks. However, personal information is often quite a lot in most cases, and moreover, the price is not high. Also, the reason for carrying the notebook and security are not in balance. An idea for how to solve this.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The shackle holding plate of the dial-type padlock, in which two metallic parts with holes at the tips into which the shackle of the dial-type padlock can be fitted are brazed at specific intervals, is adjusted so that the positions of the metallic parts with holes at the tips into which the shackle can be fitted are near the center of the top and bottom of the front cover of the notebook in a state where the notebook is closed, near the hem at the front, and adhesively attached to the surface of the back cover. ​So that the metallic parts can easily pass through, from the outside of the back cover to the front side of the cover including the writing paper part with the notebook closed Drill a through-hole through which the metal parts can easily pass and prepare a hole for locking the dial-type padlock with the notebook closed By fitting and removing the chain, the notebook can be opened and closed, and the notebook cannot be opened without unlocking the dial-type padlock It is made in a state where it cannot be opened Also, using the structure of claim 1, the shape of the metallic part with a hole drilled at the tip where the chain of the dial-type padlock can be fitted is made into a part of the arc of the radius at the position where the part is brazed to the back cover, so that there is less catching between the through-hole and the part and the opening and closing can be done smoothly It is made so that the through-hole and the part are less likely to catch and can be opened and closed smoothly

Effect of the Invention

[0006] A hole for locking the dial-type padlock is provided, and by fitting and removing the chain, the notebook can be opened and closed, and the notebook cannot be opened without unlocking the dial-type padlock. Only the person who knows the password of the dial-type padlock can open and close the notebook It becomes impossible to open the notebook without unlocking the dial-type padlock, and only the person who knows the password of the dial-type padlock can open and close the notebook
