Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a three-dimensional card and a stand with a base. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, acrylic stands, which have an acrylic plate with a character image or the like fitted into a base with a slit or the like, have become popular as idol-related goods or for decorative purposes. Various studies have been conducted on such acrylic stands, taking into consideration their design and decorativeness. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes an acrylic stand that includes a main plate shaped like a human, a base plate that rests on a flat surface, a support plate that stands on the base plate, and a backboard plate that is attached to the upper end of the support plate and has a basketball backboard, a goal hoop, and a net printed on it, and a hanging portion that suspends the main plate from the upper end of the support plate. Patent Document 2 also proposes an acrylic stand that includes a main body made from an acrylic plate with a desired design, a plate-like base for holding the main body upright and with holes formed in predetermined locations, and a connecting part that has an attachment part that is attached to a predetermined location on the main body and a protrusion part for fitting into the hole in the base, the connecting part connecting the main body and the base by fitting the protrusion part into the hole in the base, and also has a movable mechanism part that allows the main body to move relative to the base.

[0003] As proposed in the above patent document, the acrylic stands proposed to date consist of a base and an acrylic plate (a main body made of an acrylic plate) that are separate entities, and the user must assemble them to create an acrylic stand. In addition, acrylic stands are three-dimensional, which makes them difficult to carry and prone to breakage during transportation.

[0004] In addition, trading cards printed with character images and the like are highly aesthetically pleasing and collectible, and have become increasingly popular in recent years. Trading cards and acrylic stands are often sought after by the same users as they are considered to be favorite goods and collectibles. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[Figure 2] 1A and 1B are perspective views showing an example of a three-dimensional card of the present invention, in which (a) shows the state before the specific area is raised, and (b) shows the state after the specific area is raised and the card is in a stand with a base. [Figure 3] 1(a) is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a three-dimensional card of the present invention, and FIG. 1(b) is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a part of the first card is separated. [Figure 4] 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a three-dimensional card according to the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] <<3D card>> The following describes in detail a three-dimensional card according to one embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the three-dimensional card according to one embodiment) with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention claimed in the utility model claims, and not all of the elements and combinations thereof described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the invention.

[0013] Fig. 1(a) is a plan view showing an example of a three-dimensional card according to an embodiment, and Fig. 1(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of the three-dimensional card according to an embodiment. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the three-dimensional card according to an embodiment, in which (a) shows the state before the specific area is raised, and (b) shows the state after the specific area is raised to form a stand with a base.

[0014] The three-dimensional card 10 of one embodiment has a laminated structure in which a first card 20 including a paper base material and a second card 30 including a resin base material are stacked (see FIGS. 1(b) and 2). The second card 30 has a specific region 35 enclosed by a cut line portion 35A penetrating the second card 30 and a straight portion 35B connecting one end of the cut line portion 35A to the other end (see FIGS. 1(a) and 2). The specific region 35 can be raised using the straight portion 35B as a folding line (see FIG. 2(b)).

[0015] (Second card) The three-dimensional card 10 of one embodiment includes a second card 30 including a resin base material. The second card 30 may have a single-layer structure (see FIG. 1(b)) made of one resin base material, or a laminated structure (not shown) including multiple resin base materials. The second card 30 may also include materials other than the resin base material.

[0016] There are no limitations on the resin substrate, and examples include polyethylene terephthalate, acrylic resin, polycarbonate, polyurethane, polyimide, polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyvinyl butyral.

[0017] The second card 30 may or may not be transparent. Note that "transparent" here means that the first card 20 can be seen when the three-dimensional card 10 of one embodiment is viewed from the second card 30 side. For example, if a non-transparent second card 30 is used, it is possible to achieve the effect of keeping information on the first card 20 located in the portion overlapping the specific area 35 secret until the specific area 35 is raised.

[0018] The second card 30 has a specific area 35 enclosed by a cut line portion 35A penetrating the second card 30 and a straight portion 35B connecting one end of the cut line portion 35A to the other end (see FIG. 1(a)). The straight portion 35B functions as a folding line for raising the specific area 35. In one embodiment, the three-dimensional card 10 is capable of raising the specific area 35 by using the straight portion 35B as a folding line (see FIG. 2(b)). In one embodiment, the three-dimensional card 10 is in card form (see FIG. 2(a)) before the specific area 35 is raised, but by raising the specific area 35, the three-dimensional card 10 can be transformed from the card form to a stand form (see FIG. 2(b)), providing novel functionality and novel design.

[0019] In other words, the specific area 35 of the second card 30 in one embodiment of the three-dimensional card 10 is an area enclosed by a straight portion 35B that functions as a folding line and a rising line portion that extends from one end of the straight portion 35B to the other end, and all or a portion of the rising line portion is a cut line that penetrates the second card 30.

[0020] Furthermore, since the second card 30 is stacked with the first card 20, the first card 20 can function as a base that holds the raised specific area 35 (stand). According to the three-dimensional card 10 of one embodiment, it is possible to create a stand with a base by simply raising the specific area 35, without the need to assemble a separate base and stand as with conventional resin stands (e.g., acrylic stands) (see FIG. 2(b)). Furthermore, since the three-dimensional card 10 of one embodiment is in card form before the raised specific area 35 is raised, it is easy to carry and has excellent transportability.

[0021] The shape of the specific area 35 is not limited, and may be set appropriately depending on the shape of the desired stand. Therefore, the shape of the cut line 35A is also not limited. An example of the three-dimensional card 10 has a cut line 35A cut along the outer edge of the character image 45 (not shown). The cut line 35A may be any cut that allows the specific area 35 to stand up using the straight line 35B as a folding line. An example of the three-dimensional card 10 has a cut line 35A that penetrates the second card 30 and continues from one end of the straight line 35B to the other end.

[0022] As an example, the second card 30 has an image 45 formed in the specific area 35 (see FIG. 1(a)). There are no limitations on the image 45 formed in the specific area 35. As an example, the second card 30 has a character image 45 formed in the specific area 35. When the character image 45 is formed in the specific area 35, the three-dimensional card 10 of one embodiment can be used as, for example, merchandise related to the character.

[0023] In addition to or instead of the specific area 35 of the second card 30, an image 45 may be formed in an area (hereinafter referred to as a non-specific area 40) different from the specific area 35 of the second card 30. In one example of the second card 30, a character image 45 is formed in the specific area 35, and an image 45 that is related to the character image 45 formed in the specific area 35 is formed in the non-specific area 40. In one example of the second card 30, as shown in FIG. 1(a), a character image 45 (an image of "Tokujitsu Taro") is formed in the specific area 35, and an image indicating the characteristics of the character image 45 (images of "amount to drink" and "amount to eat"), attributes, etc., or an image that decorates the character image is formed in the non-specific area 40.

[0024] In the example second card 30, no image 45 is formed in the specific area 35. In this form, the user can create an original stand using the three-dimensional card 10 of one embodiment by attaching an image sticker or the like to the specific area 35.

[0025] The image 45 formed on the second card 30, as an example, is an image formed by printing. There are no limitations on the printing method, and examples of printing methods include UV printing, inkjet printing, dye-sublimation thermal transfer, melting thermal transfer, toner printing (laser printing), offset printing, and screen printing. The same applies to the image 45 formed on the first card 20, which will be described later.

[0026] The straight portion 35B, which connects one end of the cut line portion 35A and functions as a folding line, may be an unprocessed portion or a processed portion. An example of the straight portion 35B is a straight portion 35B that has been scored, half-cut, or perforated. This configuration is preferable because the specific region 35 can be easily raised at the folding line, which is the straight portion 35B.

[0027] There is no limitation on the thickness of the second card 30, as long as it is thick enough to maintain the raised specific area 35 in a self-standing state when the raised specific area 35 is raised. As an example, the thickness of the second card 30 is 0.1 mm or more and 2 mm or less. Furthermore, in consideration of the transportability of the 3D card 10 of one embodiment, the thickness of the 3D card 10 is preferably 0.1 mm or more and 4 mm or less.

[0028] <First card> The three-dimensional card 10 of one embodiment includes a first card 20 including a paper substrate. The first card 20 may have a single-layer structure made of one paper substrate (see FIG. 1(b)) or a laminated structure including multiple paper substrates (see FIG. 3). The first card 20 may also include a material other than a paper substrate. The paper substrate is not limited, and examples include synthetic paper, fine paper, art paper, single-sided coated paper, double-sided coated paper, uncoated paper, cast-coated paper, glassine paper, wallpaper, cellulose fiber paper, synthetic resin-filled paper, backing paper, and impregnated paper. Examples of impregnated paper include synthetic resin-impregnated paper, emulsion-impregnated paper, and synthetic rubber latex-impregnated paper.

[0029] There is no limitation on the thickness of the first card 20, and the thickness of the first card 20 is, for example, 0.1 mm or more and 2 mm or less. By making the first card 20 have such a thickness, it can function well as a base.

[0030] As an example, the first card 20 has an image 45 formed on one or both of the surface that contacts the second card 30 (hereinafter referred to as the top surface of the first card) and the opposite surface (hereinafter referred to as the bottom surface of the first card). As an example, the first card 20 has the image 45 formed on the bottom surface of the first card 20, and is designed as a trading card. By designing the first card 20 as a trading card, the three-dimensional card 10 of one embodiment can be made collectible.

[0031] In one example, the first card 20 has an image 45 formed on its upper surface that is related to the image 45 formed in the specific area 35 of the second card 30. In this embodiment, the image 45 formed on the upper surface of the first card 20 and the image 45 formed in the specific area 35 of the second card 30 can be made to have a sense of unity (e.g., an overlaid image), thereby imparting a more innovative design to the three-dimensional card 10 of one embodiment. In one example, the three-dimensional card 10 has a transparent second card 30, a character image 45 formed in the specific area 35 of the second card 30, and a decorative image (e.g., a background image) that decorates the character and an explanatory image (not shown) that explains the character's details (characteristics, attributes, etc.) are formed on the upper surface of the first card 20.

[0032] In the three-dimensional card 10 as an example, a common character image 45 is formed in the specific area 35 of the second card 30 and on the bottom surface of the first card 20.

[0033] Surface treatment may be applied to either or both of the top and bottom surfaces of the first card 20. Examples of surface treatment include a coating treatment to protect the formed image 45. Other examples include corona discharge treatment, surface roughening treatment, plasma treatment, and primer treatment. A combination of these treatments may also be used.

[0034] As shown in Figure 3(a), the first card 20 may have a laminated structure in which multiple paper substrates are stacked, and some of the paper substrates may be detachable. The first card 20 shown in Figure 3(a) has a laminated structure in which, from the second card 30 side, a first paper substrate 21, a release layer 22 (which may be a release sheet or a release sheet), and a second paper substrate 23 are stacked in this order, and the second paper substrate 23 is detachable from the second card 30 side at the interface between the release layer 22 and the second paper substrate 23. Figure 3(b) shows the three-dimensional card 10 from which the second paper substrate 23 has been separated, and the separated second paper substrate 23.

[0035] 3(a), for example, by forming an image 45 on the underside of the first card 20 (the underside of the second paper substrate 23) and making the second paper substrate 23 a trading card specification, it is possible to form a trading card and a stand with a base from one three-dimensional card 10. Furthermore, by forming an image 45 on the underside of the first paper substrate 21 remaining on the second card 30 side, it is possible to impart design features to the first card 20 (first paper substrate 21) that functions as a base.

[0036] The first card 20 and the second card 30 are bonded together at a predetermined portion. There are no limitations on the bonded portion, as long as it does not interfere with the standing up of the specific region 35. In one example, the three-dimensional card 10 has the first card 20 and the second card 30 bonded together at a portion that overlaps the entire or part of the non-specific region 40 of the second card 30.

[0037] After the first card 20 and the second card 30 are bonded together, a bush punching process, a Thomson punching process, or the like may be performed.

[0038] Any conventionally known adhesive can be appropriately selected and used to bond the first card 20 and the second card 30. Examples of adhesives include vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyurethane, polyolefin, polyester, acrylic resin, epoxy resin, urea resin, melamine resin, phenolic resin, polyimide, polyvinyl acetate, and synthetic rubber.

[0039] Furthermore, the first card 20 and the second card 30 may be bonded together at the portion overlapping the specific region 35, as long as the specific region 35 can be raised. In one embodiment, the three-dimensional card 10 has the first card 20 and the second card 30 pseudo-bonded together at the entire or part of the portion overlapping the specific region 35. Here, pseudo-bonding refers to bonding that allows the specific region 35 of the second card 30 to be peeled from the first card 20. Such pseudo-bonding can be achieved, for example, by using an adhesive containing an adhesive component and a peeling component. Alternatively, pseudo-bonding can be achieved by applying a release agent or the like to the portion of the first card 20 that overlaps the specific region 35. These forms of pseudo-bonding can prevent the specific region 35 from being unintentionally raised.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 4, the three-dimensional card 10 as an example has one or more fastening portions 37 (one fastening portion 37 in the illustrated embodiment) that partially connect the adjacent specific region 35 and non-specific region 40 via a cut line portion 35A. In other words, the cut line portion 35A that penetrates the second card 30 and continues from one end of the straight portion 35B to the other end is divided by the fastening portion 37. This embodiment also makes it possible for the fastening portion 37 to prevent the specific region 35 from being unintentionally raised. The fastening portion 37 may have a shape and size that can prevent the specific region 35 from being unintentionally raised, and that does not prevent the specific region 35 from being raised intentionally.

[0041] In the forms shown in the figures, the three-dimensional card 10 has a rectangular shape when viewed from above, but is not limited to this shape and may have any shape, such as a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, or an irregular shape. The first card 20 and the second card 30 may have the same or different shapes. As an example, the first card 20 has the same shape as the second card 30, and their outer edges overlap. As an example, the first card 20 has a larger or smaller shape than the second card 30.

[0042] (stand with pedestal) A stand with a base according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as a stand with a base according to an embodiment) will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of a stand with a base according to an embodiment.

[0043] The stand with base of the embodiment is formed by raising the specific area 35 of the three-dimensional card 10 of the embodiment described above (see FIG. 2(b)), and a description of the three-dimensional card 10 will be omitted. [Explanation of symbols]
