Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a booklet such as a magazine, book, catalog, pamphlet, or the like, which has a storage bag for storing compact discs, optical discs, magneto-optical discs, laser diodes, DVDs, accessories, and other attachments. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, so-called CD books, which contain accessories such as CDs and DVDs, have been sold. The storage bag for these accessories is often attached to the inside of the front or back cover of the booklet, or to a central page of the main text.
[0003] However, in this type of CD book manufacturing method, the spreads that make up each page are printed. At the same time, storage bags for storing accessories such as CDs or DVDs are made. The storage bags are then attached to designated pages of the printed material before binding. The printed materials are then stacked and bound using wire or thread. This conventional binding method, unlike standard saddle-stitch binding, requires the step of attaching the storage bags to designated pages, which is costly and time-consuming. Furthermore, this method involves binding the CD with the storage bags still attached to designated pages, which means that the CD may be damaged by some kind of impact during binding, and there is also the problem that it is not possible to check for this damage.
[0004] To solve these problems, a signature has been proposed, in which one side of a fold is formed into a bag-like shape and the other side is formed into a piece of paper longer than the one side, and a sealing adhesive portion is formed on one side of the fold to seal the opening of the bag-like portion, and a tear portion is formed on one end side of the sealing adhesive portion as viewed from the fold, and a booklet using this signature has been made (Patent Document 1). With this signature, signatures containing CDs or other items can be saddle-stitched during the bookbinding process, and the saddle-stitching position can be set to the desired page. Furthermore, to remove a CD or other item from a signature bound in a booklet, the tear portion can be cut to remove the storage bag. This has the effect of creating an opening in the storage bag at the cut point, allowing the CD or other item to be removed through the opening.
[0005] However, with such folded sections, the process of placing CDs or the like in a storage bag and completely sealing the storage bag with the sealing adhesive is required during bookbinding. For example, in the case of double-sided adhesive tape, the release liner must be peeled off and the opening must be glued, and in the case of hot-melt adhesive, heat must be applied to re-adhere. Another problem is that since CDs or the like cannot be placed in the bag after binding, bookbinding cannot be performed until the CDs are ready. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 7-117378 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a booklet and a method for producing the booklet that can provide a storage bag in the booklet during the normal saddle-stitch binding process, can store accessories such as CDs after binding, and does not require sealing work after storage. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following means.
[0009] The booklet having the accessory storage bag according to the present invention comprises: a cover sheet constituting the front and back covers; A page sheet constituting a normal page other than the front and back covers; and a storage bag paper having page configuration surfaces at both ends that configure a page, and a bag configuration surface that is arranged between the page configuration surfaces at both ends and has two surfaces with a width shorter than the width of the page, The storage bag paper is characterized in that the two bag-forming surfaces are folded in half so that the upper and lower ends have an adhesive surface that is glued together, and the paper is bound with wire or thread so that the boundary between the page-forming surface and the bag-forming surface is located at the gutter.
[0010] By adopting this configuration, it is possible to provide a storage bag in a booklet using conventional equipment in the same way as when producing a normal booklet, by stacking and saddle-stitching the cover sheet, page sheets, and storage bag sheets, and it also has the effect of being able to provide a storage bag on any page of the booklet.
[0011] In addition, in the booklet having the accessory storage bag according to the present invention, The gap between the bound portions may be wider than the gap between the bound portions. By adopting such a configuration, the accessories can be inserted into the storage bag after the booklet is produced, so that the booklet can be produced first before the accessories are completed. Furthermore, when inserting the accessories into the storage bag, they can be inserted through the gutter, which has the effect of eliminating the need to seal the insertion portion after insertion.
[0012] Furthermore, in the booklet having the accessory storage bag according to the present invention, The bag may be characterized in that a part of the surface thereof is provided with a tear-off portion capable of forming an opening. With such a configuration, an opening is formed by pulling the tear-off portion, and the accessory can be easily removed.
[0013] Furthermore, the method for producing a booklet according to the present invention includes the steps of: Cover sheets constituting a front cover and a back cover for producing a saddle-stitched book; A page sheet constituting a normal page other than the front and back covers; A storage bag sheet having page configuration surfaces at both ends that configure a page, and a bag configuration surface that is arranged between the page configuration surfaces at both ends and has two surfaces with a width shorter than the width of the page, The two bag-forming surfaces of the cover paper, the page paper, and the storage bag paper are folded in half so that the upper and lower ends have adhesive surfaces that are bonded together, and after they are overlapped so that the boundary between the page-forming surface and the bag-forming surface is located at the gutter, the gutter is wire-bound or thread-bound. [Effects of the Invention]
[0014] According to the booklet with the accessory storage bag of the present invention, the cover sheet, page sheets, and storage bag sheets are stacked and saddle-stitched using conventional equipment, allowing the storage bag to be provided on any page. Furthermore, since the accessories can be inserted after the booklet is produced, it is possible to produce only the booklet first. Furthermore, when inserting the accessories into the storage bag, they can be inserted from the gutter, which has the advantage of eliminating the need to seal the insertion portion after insertion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] Next, an embodiment of the booklet 100 having an accessory storage bag according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments and drawings described below exemplify a portion of the embodiment of the present invention, and are not intended to be used for the purpose of limiting the present invention to these configurations, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
[0017] The booklet 100 having the accessory storage bag 35 of the present invention is a booklet produced by saddle-stitching, and has a storage bag 35 for storing an accessory 90 such as a compact disc, optical disc, magneto-optical disc, LD, DVD, etc. on any page between the front and back covers.
[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the booklet 100 of the present invention mainly comprises a cover sheet 10 that forms the front and back covers of the booklet 100, page sheets 20 that form the normal pages other than the front and back covers, and storage bag sheets 30 that form the storage bag for the accessories 90.
[0019] As shown in Figure 1 or 2A, the cover sheet 10 is the sheet that makes up the front and back covers, and is the sheet that is placed at the bottom when saddle-stitching. This cover sheet 10 may be the same as conventional cover sheets.
[0020] As shown in Fig. 1 or 2C, the page paper 20 is a paper on which the contents of the booklet 100 are written, and is made to the same size as the cover paper 10. The number of pages is not particularly limited as long as it is a number that can be saddle-stitched.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 1 or 2B , the storage bag paper 30 is made wider than the cover paper 10 or the page paper 20. It has page configuration surfaces 31 on both the left and right sides, which constitute the pages of the booklet 100, and two bag configuration surfaces 33 arranged parallel to each other between the page configuration surfaces 31. The width of the page configuration surfaces 31 is made to be the same width α as the surfaces 10a, 20a (half the width of the cover paper 10 or the page paper 20) that constitute the pages of the cover paper 10 or the page paper 20. The bag configuration surface 33 is made to have a width β that is shorter than the width α of the page configuration surface 31 but wider than the diameter of the accessory 90 to be stored. As shown in FIG. 2B , the bag configuration surface 33 may be provided with an opening portion 70 so that it can be opened by manually pulling a slit. Of course, the method of removing the accessory 90 is not particularly limited, and the bag configuration surface 33 may be torn to remove the accessory 90, or perforated so that the entire storage bag can be removed along the perforations.
[0022] The storage bag paper 30 thus produced is folded back at the boundary 33a between the two parallel bag constituent surfaces 33, as shown in Figure 3. In this state, the upper ends 34 and lower ends 35 of the bag constituent surfaces 33 are bonded together to form a bonded surface of a predetermined width, and the upper ends 34 and lower ends 35 are sealed (Figure 3 shows the paper in an unglued state).
[0023] The cover sheet 10, page sheets 20, and storage bag sheet 30 configured as described above are stacked and wire-stitched or thread-stitched to form a booklet 100, as shown in FIG. 4 . In this case, the gap γ between the wire-stitched or thread-stitched portions, for example, between staplers 50, is formed to be wider than the diameter of the inserted accessory 90. Preferably, the gap γ is designed to be approximately 1 to 5 mm wider than the diameter of the inserted accessory 90. Setting this gap width reduces the possibility of the inserted accessory 90 falling out. At this time, the storage bag sheet 30 is saddle-stitched so that the boundary 32a between the page-forming surface 31 and the bag-forming surface 33 is positioned in the spine. Note that, although the drawings of this embodiment show one page sheet 20, two or more pages may be saddle-stitched as long as they are sufficient for saddle-stitching. Furthermore, the position of the storage bag paper 30 may be between the cover paper 10 and the page paper 20, or if multiple page papers 20 are used, it may be between the page papers 20, or it may be placed on the top layer to form the central page.
[0024] In the booklet 100 of the present invention thus produced, a storage bag sheet 30 can be placed between the cover sheet 10 and the page sheets 20, between the page sheets 20, or at any position on the central page of the top layer, and the folded bag-constituting surface 33 forms a bag-shaped storage bag. Two page-constituting surfaces 31 are bound in a stacked state to the bag-constituting surface 33 thus produced, and as shown in Figure 5, an accessory 90 is inserted between the two page-constituting surfaces 31, and then inserted between the two wires 50 and between the two bag-constituting surfaces 33. In this way, the accessory 90 can be stored in the storage bag.
[0025] When the stored accessory 90 is to be removed, an opening can be created by pulling the opening portion 70 provided on the bag-constituting surface 33, and the accessory 90 can be removed from this opening.
[0026] The booklet 100 produced as described above can be used to produce a storage bag by stacking and saddle-stitching the cover sheet 10, page sheets 20, and storage bag sheets 30, just as when producing a normal booklet. Therefore, it can be produced in the same manner as before using existing equipment. Moreover, a storage bag can be provided for any page of the booklet 100. Furthermore, since the accessory 90 can be inserted after the booklet 100 has been produced, it is possible to produce only the booklet 100 first. Furthermore, since the accessory 90 can be inserted into the storage bag from the gutter, there is an advantage that there is no need to seal the insertion portion after insertion. Of course, there is no problem if the accessory 90 is inserted and then sealed. [Industrial Applicability]
[0027] As shown in the above-described embodiment, the present invention can be industrially utilized as a CD book that stores accessories such as CDs and DVDs. [Explanation of symbols]
