Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a foldable communication device in which a plurality of leaflets are folded and peelably integrated, and more particularly to a foldable communication device that is extremely easy to peel and open, thereby making it easy to read the contents. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, the most common method for transmitting large amounts of information such as advertisements, invitations, pamphlets, etc. is to fold sheets on which various communication materials are printed into envelopes, enclose them in envelopes, and then mail them. However, in recent years, the management of personal information has become important, and accidents such as accidentally writing someone else's information or writing the wrong address and causing the mail to be delivered to the wrong address must be avoided as much as possible. In addition, it is desirable to reduce the significant costs involved in the work of enclosing and sealing a large number of advertisements and sheets on which individual information is written. Under these circumstances, for example, a folding envelope sheet has been proposed, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-43456. Prior Art Patent Documents

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-43456 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The folding envelope sheet described in the cited references allows one person's personal information, including the recipient's address, to be written on a single sheet before folding it into an envelope, preventing the accidental inclusion of other people's information. It also has the advantage of eliminating the labor required for inserting and sealing the envelope, since the sheet automatically becomes an envelope when folded. However, it requires complex and time-consuming special processing, such as special processing of the protruding envelope, application of adhesive for sealing, perforation to tear off the envelope when opening, application of a release agent to allow the adhesive to be easily peeled off, and a double-perforated opening method, resulting in a relatively high cost despite the aforementioned advantages.

[0005] Furthermore, as mentioned above, the complicated structure of the envelope requires the recipient to go through complicated steps to open it, which can make older people in particular hesitate to do, leading to problems such as not being able to open it properly and accidentally damaging the information on the envelope.

[0006] In view of the above problems, the foldable information communication body of the present invention is designed to be completed by writing information on a single sheet and folding it lengthwise and widthwise to complete the information communication body, thereby eliminating accidents such as the mistaken enclosing of someone else's information or the misdelivery of the information that often occurs when multiple sheets with various types of information written on them are enclosed in a single envelope; the principles for opening and peeling and unfolding are clear and simple, so even elderly people and the like will not be confused by the operation, and the information display surface will not be accidentally damaged or soiled when opening; and the information writing surface is protected by a pseudo-adhesive film sheet covering, so there is no need to worry about soiling, damage, tampering, etc.; and since no traces of breakage remain around the sheet after peeling and unfolding, the aesthetic appearance is not marred and no waste such as torn pieces is generated. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the foldable information communication body of the present invention is a foldable information communication body in which a first unit sheet in which a plurality of leaf pieces are connected in the horizontal direction via a vertical fold line and a plurality of unit sheets having the same leaf piece configuration as the first unit sheet are arranged above and below each other via a horizontal fold line and the entire front and back surfaces of the unit sheets are covered with a pseudo-adhesive film sheet are folded lengthwise and widthwise, and the opposing surfaces are peelably bonded together, and the vertical width of the leaf pieces of at least one set of unit sheets constituting the foldable information communication body sheet is The vertical width of the unit sheet is different from that of the other units. Vertically positioned below At least one column The width of the leaflet row is different leaves Unlike the width of a single row, after folding Vertical and horizontal the edge of In The end faces do not match, forming a step In front By opening the bag in the reverse direction of folding, using the step as a starting point for opening, it can be easily unfolded into its original flat state, allowing the information inside to be checked. It is characterized by:

[0008] The manufacturing process of the foldable information communication device of the present invention will be described below. The first unit sheet is made of a plurality of leaf pieces connected together in the horizontal direction via vertical fold lines, and a plurality of unit sheets having the same leaf configuration as the first unit sheet are arranged above and below each other via horizontal fold lines. Ta A sheet feeding step of feeding out a continuous sheet or a single sheet on which a folded information communication sheet is printed, and a step of feeding out the entire front and back surfaces of the fed folded information communication sheet. Doubt similar adhesion Film sheet Forming pseudo-adhesion Film sheet The formation process of pseudo-adhesion Film sheet a first folding step of folding the folded information communication sheet along a vertical fold line, a cutting step of cutting out the folded information communication sheet folded along the vertical fold line into a single folded information communication sheet, a second folding step of folding the cut-out folded information communication sheet along a horizontal fold line, and a second folding step of cutting out the folded information communication sheet folded in the second folding step into a single folded information communication sheet. Film sheet and a bonding step of releasably bonding the two components together.

[0009] The size of each leaf of the present invention does not necessarily have to be the same, and the vertical width of any unit sheet may be designed to be different from the vertical width of other unit sheets, or the horizontal width of any vertical row of leaf sheets of a group of unit sheets connected in the vertical direction may be designed to be different from the horizontal width of other row of leaf sheets, thereby making it possible to improve the overall appearance of the information communication sheet after folding. On the vertical and horizontal edges of the folding information communication device Intentional 2nd stage This creates a difference and serves as a starting point for opening.

[0010] Suitable materials for use in the foldable communication medium of the present invention include ordinary paper such as fine paper, matte paper, coated paper, synthetic paper, nonwoven fabric, and resin film sheets. There are also no particular limitations on the finished size of the foldable communication medium, and it can be applied to various types of B5- and A4-sized communication mediums, such as postcards, rectangular envelopes, Yu-Mail, and mail-order items.

[0011] When manufacturing the foldable information communication body of the present invention, there is no particular limitation on the arrangement of the first and second folding steps and the cutting step for cutting out individual information communication body sheets, and the first and second folding steps may be arranged after the cutting step, or the cutting step and folding step may be arranged separately, and cutting and folding may be performed in stages.

[0012] In the cutting process, the vertical margins of the continuous sheet or individual sheets on which the folding information communication sheet is printed are cut off. In the case of a continuous sheet, this refers to the marginal portion where marginal holes for sheet transport are formed, while in the case of individual sheets, this refers to the marginal portion cut off by trimming. There are no particular restrictions on the timing of the cutting; the cutting may be done in advance before processing begins, or it may be done upstream or downstream of the pseudo-adhesive film sheet forming process. Furthermore, the cutting may be done in stages, upstream and downstream.

[0013] In manufacturing the foldable information communication medium of the present invention, the sheet is cut into individual foldable information communication medium sheets by cutting in the horizontal direction as well as the vertical direction. In the case of a continuous sheet, a cutting device such as a die cut roller is used to cut the sheet into individual foldable information communication medium sheets by a blade attached to a rotating cylinder. R The material may be cut out by single cutting, or in the case of a single sheet, the material may be cut out while being cut in a continuous manner using a cutting device such as a guillotine type cutting device that is made up of a combination of a cutting blade and a fixed blade. There are no particular restrictions on the timing or cutting method.

[0014] When manufacturing the foldable information communication object of the present invention, a folding means such as a folding perforation or a crease is formed on the longitudinal fold line of the information communication object sheet. The folding means may be formed in advance on the information communication object sheet, or may be formed upstream or downstream of the pseudo-adhesive film sheet forming process. Furthermore, the folding means may be formed in stages upstream and downstream. Regarding the horizontal fold line, the folding means described above may be formed, but the sheet may also be forcibly folded directly using a folding machine without forming any folding means. As mentioned above, there are no particular restrictions on the timing of folding.

[0015] Pseudo-adhesive film sheets used for peelably bonding opposing folded surfaces (also called pseudo-adhesion) are called the film method, in which a pseudo-adhesive film sheet is coated (laminated) on the pseudo-adhesive surfaces of printed paper, and the paper is folded so that the pseudo-adhesive film sheets face each other, and then heated or heated and pressurized to achieve a peelable bond. There are two types of film methods: a full-surface application method in which the opposing pseudo-adhesive surfaces are coated in advance and then peelably bonded after folding, and a sandwich method in which a pre-pseudo-adhesive laminated film is sandwiched between the pseudo-adhesive surfaces of folded paper, and the paper and film are bonded together to form a peelable integrated unit. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] The folding information communication body of the present invention is manufactured by folding a single sheet on which all information is written into a folded envelope, so that serious accidents such as information leakage (mixing of other people's information, etc.) that occur when multiple separate sheets on which personal information, etc. are written are enclosed and sealed are not caused.

[0017] Simply put, the foldable information communication device of the present invention is a device that simply forms a pseudo-adhesive film sheet on the pseudo-adhesive surface and then folds and adheres it. Therefore, the opening procedure is as simple as simply unfolding it in the reverse direction of the fold. Since there are no complicated or intricate opening procedures, even elderly recipients can peel and open it very easily, and there is no risk of accidentally tearing the information display surface, making the internal information illegible, or damaging the appearance by soiling it.

[0018] Furthermore, not only the pseudo-adhesive surface (concealed surface) on which personal information is written, but all leaf surfaces are covered with a strong pseudo-adhesive film sheet, so there is no risk of soiling, damage, or tampering.

[0019] Furthermore, after peeling and unfolding Information and communications When the sheet is opened, no traces of the broken sealing pieces are left around the periphery of the sheet, so the appearance is not marred and no waste is generated due to broken pieces after opening.

[0020] Furthermore, the folding of the present invention Information and communications In the manufacturing process, the complicated process including the process of forming various adhesive media and the process of forming folding means can be performed automatically. Of course, it can also be manufactured very easily by using individual dedicated machines that perform each process.

[0021] Furthermore, since the pseudo-adhesive film sheet is formed on the entire front and back surfaces of the information communication sheet, unlike when it is formed only on an arbitrary part like a dropper, precise work that does not allow for misalignment is not required, and even an amateur can produce a large number of folded envelopes in a short time.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in an easy-to-understand manner with reference to the drawings. Example 1

[0024] [Folding Information Communication Device J1] The foldable information communication body J1 of this embodiment is shown in Figures 1(A), (B) and 2(A), (B), and its configuration is as shown in the cross-sectional view of Figure 2(A), in which the second leaf piece 2, the first leaf piece 1, the third leaf piece 3 and the fourth leaf piece 4 are stacked in this order from the top. The front and back surfaces of the leaves connected via the vertical fold line 5 (where the folding perforations are formed) are covered with a pseudo-adhesive film sheet G, and the second leaf piece 2 and the first leaf piece 1 (unit sheet t1) 、 The third leaf piece 3 and the fourth leaf piece 4 (unit sheet t2) and the first leaf piece 1 and the third leaf piece 3 are peelably bonded and integrated by a pseudo-adhesive film sheet G interposed between the opposing surfaces of the first leaf piece 1 and the third leaf piece 3.

[0025] The recipient of the foldable communication object J1 having the above-described configuration peels off the first leaf piece 1 and the third leaf piece 3, which are releasably integrated, by using, for example, the step formed along the upper edge as shown in Figures 1(A) and 2(B). By this peeling operation, the foldable communication object J1 is unfolded into a state folded in half, as shown in Figures 5(A), (B), and (C), so that the second leaf piece 2 and the fourth leaf piece 4 face the first leaf piece 1 and the third leaf piece 3, respectively, from the fold line 5.

[0026] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 5(A), (B), and (C), the recipient uses the steps formed along the right edge of each leaf to peel off the first leaf piece 1, the second leaf piece 2, the third leaf piece 3, and the fourth leaf piece 4, and unfolds the package into its original flat state as shown in Figures 4(A) and (B). By doing so, the recipient can see the various information written inside through the transparent or translucent pseudo-adhesive film sheet G. The shaded areas in Figures 4(A) and (B) indicate the areas covered by the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G.

[0027] [Manufacturing process of the folding information communication device J1] As shown in Figures 3(A) and (B) , the information communication sheet S1 used in the manufacturing process of the folded information communication unit J1 of this embodiment is a unit sheet t1 in which two leaves, the width of which is first leaf piece 1 > second leaf piece 2, are joined together in the horizontal direction via a vertical fold line 5, and two unit sheets in which the width of which is third leaf piece 3 (= first leaf piece 1) > fourth leaf piece 4 (= second leaf piece 2) are joined together in the horizontal direction via a fold line 5, and the vertical width of which is unit sheet t1 < unit sheet t2. beside The first leaf piece 1 and the third leaf piece 3, and the second leaf piece 2 and the fourth leaf piece 4 are arranged vertically so as to be in contact with each other via a folding line 6 in the direction of the arrow. According to the above configuration, the areas of the four leaf pieces are all different.

[0028] The information communication sheet S1 may be printed on a continuous sheet used in form printing, or may be printed on a sheet used in offset printing or digital printing. This also applies to the manufacturing process of the embodiments described below.

[0029] In the manufacturing process of this embodiment, perforations are formed along the vertical fold line 5 to facilitate folding, but this may be replaced with other known folding means such as creases. The perforations may also be formed in a process upstream and / or downstream of the coating process of the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G, which will be described later. Furthermore, the pseudo-adhesive medium may be formed in advance on a continuous sheet or individual sheets at a stage prior to processing.

[0030] The horizontal fold lines 6 indicated by the two-dot chain lines, which will be forcibly folded later by a folding machine, may be left unattended, or may be provided with the above-mentioned known folding means. The various processes applied to the information communication sheet S1 are also the same for the information communication sheets used in the manufacturing process of the following examples.

[0031] The information communication sheet S1 having the above-described configuration is placed on a paper loading table at the most upstream stage of the manufacturing process, and is fed, starting with the topmost information communication sheet S1, into a known coating device, such as a laminator consisting of one or more pairs of heat rollers, and the entire front and back surfaces are coated with a pseudo-adhesive film sheet G, as shown by the diagonal lines in Figures 4(A) and (B).

[0032] The pseudo-adhesive film sheet G covers the entire front and back surfaces of the information communication sheet S1. Therefore, the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G is applied using a double-sided laminator or the like so that it protrudes slightly beyond the information communication sheet, and then the surrounding margins are trimmed off, so the work does not require extreme precision compared to spot coating.

[0033] To assist the recipient in opening the package, a non-adhesive area can be provided by covering the edge of the package with a pseudo-adhesive film sheet G. In the manufacturing process of this embodiment, a step is created at the opening edge after folding, and this step serves as the starting point for peeling. Of course, both the non-adhesive area and the step may be used. This also applies to the manufacturing process of the embodiment described below.

[0034] As shown in Figures 5(A), (B) and (C), after cutting out unnecessary margins around the information communication sheet S1, the second leaf piece is formed from the longitudinal fold line 5. 2The sheet is folded in half so that the back side of the first leaf piece 1 and the back sides of the fourth leaf piece 4 and third leaf piece 3 face each other.

[0035] Next, the sheet is folded in half as shown in FIG. 2(A) from the horizontal fold line 6 in FIG. 5(A) so that the pseudo-adhesive film sheets G covering the first leaf 1 and the third leaf 3 face each other. It is preferable that the information communication sheet S1 is cut into individual sheets at the time of folding in half, but it may be cut after the bonding process described below. This also applies to the manufacturing process of the examples described below.

[0036] Next, in a bonding process using a pressure device such as a pressure roller, or a heating and pressure device such as a combination of a heat roller or a heater panel and a pressure roller, the opposing pseudo-adhesive film sheets G are bonded together, and the entire folded information communication product sheet S1 is peelably bonded and integrated. In this way, the folded information communication product J1 is manufactured.

[0037] The above-mentioned processing steps may be performed automatically online from the stacking of the sheets to the final gluing step using a dedicated line, but each processing step (coating step, cutting step, folding step, gluing step, etc.) may also be performed offline using a separate dedicated processing device. This also applies to the manufacturing process of the embodiments described below. Example 2

The front and back surfaces of each leaf piece, which are connected via vertical fold lines 17 and 18 (where perforations are formed), are covered with a pseudo-adhesive film sheet G, and the leaf pieces are releasably bonded together and integrated by the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G interposed between the opposing surfaces.

[0039] The recipient of the foldable communication object J2 having the above-described configuration uses the steps formed along the upper edge as shown in Figures 6(A) and 7(B) to peel off the third leaf piece 13 and the sixth leaf piece 16, which are releasably integrated. By this peeling operation, the foldable communication object J2 is unfolded into a state in which the first leaf piece 11, the second leaf piece 12, the third leaf piece 13, the fourth leaf piece 14, the fifth leaf piece 15, and the sixth leaf piece 16 are folded into a Z-shaped cross section, as shown in Figures 10(A), (B), and (C).

[0040] 10(A), (B), and (C), the recipient uses the steps formed along the left edge of each leaf to peel off the first leaf 11, the second leaf 12, the fourth leaf 14, and the fifth leaf 15, and then peel off the second leaf 12, the third leaf 13, the fifth leaf 15, and the sixth leaf 16, finally unfolding the envelope into its original flat state as shown in FIGS. 9(A) and (B). By doing so, the recipient can see the various information written inside through the transparent or translucent pseudo-adhesive film sheet G. The shaded areas in FIGS. 9(A) and (B) indicate the areas covered by the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G.

[0041] [Manufacturing process of the folding information communication device J2] As shown in FIGS. 8(A) and 8(B), the information communication sheet S2 used in the manufacturing process of the folded information communication unit J2 of this embodiment is a unit sheet t11 ​​in which three leaf pieces, the width of which is first leaf piece 11<second leaf piece 12=third leaf piece 13, are connected in the horizontal direction via vertical fold lines 17 and 18, and a unit sheet t11 ​​in which three leaf pieces, the width of which is fourth leaf piece 14 (=first leaf piece 11)<fifth leaf piece 15 (=second leaf piece 12)=sixth leaf piece 16 (=third leaf piece 13), are connected in the horizontal direction via fold lines 17 and 18. 17 and 18, and the two unit sheets, whose vertical width relationship is unit sheet t11 ​​< unit sheet t12, are arranged one above the other so that the first leaf piece 11 and the fourth leaf piece 14, the second leaf piece 12 and the fifth leaf piece 15, and the third leaf piece 13 and the sixth leaf piece 16 are in contact with each other via a horizontal fold line 19.

[0042] Information and communication body sheet S of the above-mentioned configuration 2 are placed on a paper loading table at the most upstream stage of the manufacturing process, and are fed in order starting from the topmost information communication sheet S2 into a known coating device such as a laminator consisting of one or more pairs of heat rollers, and the entire front and back surfaces are coated with a pseudo-adhesive film sheet G as shown by the diagonal lines in Figures 9(A) and (B).

[0043] As described above, the information communication sheet S2 coated with the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G is, for example, after unnecessary marginal portions around the periphery are cut off (there is no particular restriction as to when to cut off the marginal portions, and for example, any marginal portions may be cut off in stages), and the first leaf piece 11, the second leaf piece 12, the third leaf piece 13, the fourth leaf piece 14, the fifth leaf piece 15, and the sixth leaf piece 16 are folded into a Z-shaped cross section from the vertical fold lines 17 and 18 as shown in Figures 10(A), (B), and (C).

[0044] Next, the sheet is folded in half as shown in Fig. 7(A) along the horizontal fold line 19 in Fig. 10(A) so that the third leaf piece 13 and the sixth leaf piece 16 face each other. It is preferable that the information communication sheet S2 is cut into a single sheet at the time of folding in half, but it may be cut out after the bonding step described below.

[0045] Next, in a bonding process using a pressure device such as a pressure roller, or a heating and pressure device such as a combination of a heat roller or a heater panel and a pressure roller, the opposing pseudo-adhesive film sheets G are bonded together, and the entire folded information communication object sheet S2 is peelably bonded and integrated. In this way, the folded information communication object J2 is manufactured. Example 3

The front and back surfaces of the leaves, which are connected via vertical fold lines 30 and 31 (where perforations are formed), are covered with pseudo-adhesive film sheets G, and the leaves are releasably bonded together by the pseudo-adhesive film sheets G interposed between the opposing surfaces to form a single unit.

[0047] The recipient of the foldable information communication object J3 having the above-described configuration uses the steps formed along the upper edge as shown in Figures 11(A) and 12(B) to peel off the third leaf piece 23 and the sixth leaf piece 26, which are releasably integrated. Then, the fourth leaf piece 24 and the seventh leaf piece 27 are peeled off, and the unit sheets t21, t22, and t23 are folded into a Z-shaped cross section and unfolded into a state connected vertically along horizontal fold lines 32 and 33, as shown in Figures 15(A), (B), and (C).

[0048] Furthermore, the recipient is shown in Figure 15(A).

By doing so, various information written inside can be confirmed through the transparent or semi-transparent pseudo-adhesive film sheet G. The hatched areas in Figures 14(A) and (B) indicate the areas covered by the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G.

[0049] [Manufacturing process of the folding information communication device J3] As shown in FIGS. 13(A) and 13(B), the information communication sheet S3 used in the manufacturing process of the folded information communication unit J3 of this embodiment is a unit sheet t21 in which three leaves, the width of which is first leaf piece 21<second leaf piece 22=third leaf piece 23, are joined together in the horizontal direction via vertical fold lines 30 and 31, and a unit sheet t21 in which the width of which is similarly the width of which is fourth leaf piece 24 (=first leaf piece 21)<fifth leaf piece 25 (=second leaf piece 22)=sixth leaf piece 26 (=third leaf piece 23). Unit Sheet t22 and seventh leaflet 27 (= first leaflet 21 = fourth leaflet 24) < eighth leaflet 28 (= second leaflet 22 = fifth leaflet 25) = ninth leaflet 29 (= third leaflet 23 = sixth leaflet 26) Unit Sheet The three pieces of each unit sheet t23 are connected in the horizontal direction via fold lines 30 and 31, and the relationship of the vertical width is unit sheet t21 < unit sheet t22 = Unit Sheet Three unit sheets t23 are arranged one above the other via horizontal fold lines 32 and 33 so that the first leaf piece 21, the fourth leaf piece 24, and the seventh leaf piece 27, the second leaf piece 22, the fifth leaf piece 25, and the eighth leaf piece 28, and the third leaf piece 23, the sixth leaf piece 26, and the ninth leaf piece 29 are in contact with each other.

After folding, an information communication sheet in which a plurality of unit sheets each having a plurality of leaf pieces connected in the horizontal direction are connected in the vertical direction can be formed. Vertical and horizontal If the gap initially causes separation and the package is opened, even if leaf pieces of the same length and width are bonded together, other leaf pieces will be connected, and a gap will inevitably appear when the package is subsequently unfolded. There is also no limitation on the manner of folding, and accordion folding, roll folding, gate folding, or a combination of these folding methods can be adopted. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] A foldable information communication body is formed by folding a first unit sheet in which a plurality of leaf pieces are connected horizontally via vertical fold lines, and a plurality of unit sheets having the same leaf configuration as the first unit sheet, arranged one above the other via horizontal fold lines, and the unit sheets having a pseudo-adhesive film sheet covering the entire front and back surfaces of the unit sheets, vertically and horizontally, and releasably bonding the opposing surfaces together. The foldable information communication body is characterized in that the vertical width of the leaf pieces of at least one set of unit sheets constituting the foldable information communication body sheet is different from the vertical width of the other unit sheets, and the horizontal width of at least one vertical row of leaf pieces arranged above and below is different from the horizontal width of the other leaf rows, so that after folding, the end faces do not match at the vertical and horizontal edges, forming a step, which can be used as a starting point for opening the foldable information communication body by opening it in the reverse direction of the fold and easily unfolding it to its original flat state to check the internal information.
