Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a divided type for braille typesetting, and more specifically, to a divided type for braille typesetting that enables braille printing without a typesetting frame, minimizes the production of type required for braille printing, and improves storage and usability through a structure in which a pair of braille typesetting typefaces are produced as a 3-point divided typeface in which a 6-point braille typesetting typeface is divided into 3 points, and then a pair of 3-point divided typefaces are combined into a braille typesetting typeface having one meaning, and multiple braille typesetting typefaces are continuously interlocked using an interlocking frame configured in the 3-point divided typeface. Background Technology

[0002] Braille refers to dots of a specific shape raised on a surface or plane so that visually impaired people can identify them. Accordingly, visually impaired people can recognize the meaning of the letters and symbols embedded in the Braille by touching or making contact with the raised Braille dots with their fingertips.

[0003] Meanwhile, for braille printing, after a number of braille typesetting typefaces are inserted into a six-braille typesetting frame, and paper or a printing plate is positioned on the upper surface of the typesetting frame, the corresponding braille is printed protrudingly on the paper or printing plate by pressing a pressing plate toward the typesetting frame.

[0004] Here, in the case of conventional braille typesetting type, since six-dot type with specific meanings are produced as a single type, for example, based on six-dot braille, if only initial consonants, medial vowels, and final consonants are represented, there are at least 37 Korean braille characters, so 37 typefaces are required, and if only lowercase alphabets are represented, there are at least 26 English braille characters, so 26 typefaces are required.

[0005] Accordingly, since conventional braille typefaces are independent typefaces each with a specific meaning, there is a problem in that a large number of typefaces must be produced to print a certain sentence or content in braille, which incurs high costs for typeface production.

[0006] In addition, when typesetting for braille printing, the number of braille typesetting typefaces with high usage frequency must be increased, making storage inconvenient, while braille typesetting typefaces with low usage frequency have a problem of reduced usability.

[0007] Furthermore, since typesetting is completed by inserting the type into a typesetting frame, it is impossible to arrange the type for Braille typesetting without a typesetting frame. Consequently, in the absence of a typesetting frame, it is difficult to print Braille using only type, and the size of the type is restricted by the size and shape of the frame, which leads to a problem of reduced flexibility in Braille printing.

[0009] Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to provide a divided type for braille typesetting that enables braille printing without a typesetting frame, minimizes the production of typesetting required for braille printing, and improves storage and usability through a structure in which a plurality of braille typesetting

[0010] Meanwhile, the objectives of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned objectives will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below. means of solving the problem

[0011] According to the present invention, a 6-dot type having 6 dots arranged in 3 rows and 2 columns is divided into 3-dot type having 3 or fewer adjacent dots located in 1 row and 1 column, 1 row and 2 columns, and 2 row and 1 column, comprising a 1st-3 dot divided type, a 2nd-3 dot divided type, a 3rd-3 dot divided type, a 4th-3 dot divided type, a 5th-3 dot divided type, a 6th-3 dot divided type, a 7th-3 dot divided type, and an 8th-3 dot divided type; wherein a pair of the 1st-3 dot divided type to the 8th-3 dot divided type is arranged facing each other to form a 6-dot type for typesetting having a single meaning, and then a plurality of 6-dot type for typesetting are continuously interlocked through an interlocking frame formed in the 1st-3 dot divided type to the 8th-3 dot divided type to complete braille typesetting. Typefaces are provided.

[0012] Here, the 1st-3-dot split type to the 8th-3-dot split type is preferably any one of the following: a 3-dot braille brick in the shape of an 'inverted L-shape' that is mutually connected while the 1st block, the 2nd block, and the 3rd block are each positioned in the 1st row 1st column, the 1st row 2nd column, and the 2nd row 1st column, respectively; a printing projection that is formed protrudingly at least one of the 1st block, the 2nd block, and the 3rd block of the 3-dot braille brick, or is not formed protrudingly at any one of the 1st block, the 2nd block, and the 3rd block of the 3-dot braille brick; and an interlocking frame divided into a 1st interlocking frame, a 2nd interlocking frame, and a 3rd interlocking frame that extends while having an uneven structure on the outer edge of the 1st block, the 2nd block, and the 3rd block of the 3-dot braille brick, respectively.

[0013] In addition, the first to eighth three-dot split typefaces each have a first to third interlocking frame formed on the outer edge of the first block, the second block, and the third block, and when any pair of the first to eighth three-dot split typefaces faces each other, they are combined into a six-dot typeface having one meaning, so that a triangular embossing line is repeatedly formed on the outer surface of the six-dot typeface. Effects of the invention

[0014] Accordingly, according to the present invention, after a 6-point type for typesetting is produced as a 3-point split type, a pair of 3-point split types are combined into a single meaning of a 3-point split type, and through a structure in which multiple 3-point split type types are continuously interlocked using an interlocking frame configured in the 3-point split type, it is possible to print Braille without a typesetting frame, minimize the production of type required for Braille printing, and improve storage and usability.

[0017] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0018] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, a divided type for braille typesetting according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a 6-dot type having 6 dots arranged in 3 rows and 2 columns, which is divided in half into 3-dot type having 3 or fewer adjacent dots located in 1 row and 1 column, 1 row and 2 columns, and 2 row and 1 column, comprising a 1st-3 dot divided type (110), a 2nd-3 dot divided type (120), a 3rd-3 dot divided type (130), a 4th-3 dot divided type (140), a 5th-3 dot divided type (150), a 6th-3 dot divided type (160), a 7th-3 dot divided type (170), and an 8th-3 dot divided type (180), wherein a pair of the 1st-3 dot divided type (110) to the 8th-3 dot divided type (180) is arranged facing each other to have a single meaning. After being combined into 6-dot typesetting type (6-T), multiple 6-dot typesetting type (6-T) are continuously interlocked through an interlocking frame (103) configured in the 1st-3rd dot split type (110) to the 8th-3rd dot split type (180).

[0019] Meanwhile, the 1st-3-dot split type (110) to the 8th-3-dot split type (180) are each connected to each other in a state where the 1st block (101-1), 2nd block (101-2), and 3rd block (101-3) are located in the 1st row 1st column, 1st row 2nd column, and 2nd row 1st column, respectively, and have an 'inverted L-shape' shaped 3-dot braille brick (101), a printing projection (102) that is formed protrudingly at at least one of the 1st block (101-1), 2nd block (101-2), and 3rd block (101-3) of the 3-dot braille brick (101) or is not formed protrudingly at any of them, and extends while having an uneven structure on the outer edge of the 1st block (101-1), 2nd block (101-2), and 3rd block (101-3) of the 3-dot braille brick (101). It includes an interlocking frame (103) divided into a first interlocking frame (103-1), a second interlocking frame (103-2), and a third interlocking frame (103-3).

[0020] Here, in the first-3 dot split type (110), the printing protrusion (102) is not formed on any of the first block (101-1) to the third block (101-3) of the 3-dot braille brick (101), in the second-3 dot split type (120), the printing protrusion (102) is formed protruding only on the upper surface of the first block (101-1) among the first block (101-1) to the third block (101-3) of the 3-dot braille brick (101), in the third-3 dot split type (130), the printing protrusion (102) is formed protruding only on the upper surface of the third block (101-3) among the first block (101-1) to the third block (101-3) of the 3-dot braille brick (101), and the fourth-3 dot split type (140) A printing projection (102) is formed protruding only on the upper surface of the second block (101-2) among the first block (101-1) to the third block (101-3) of the 3-dot braille brick (101), and a 5-dot split type (150) has a printing projection (102) formed protruding only on the upper surface of the first block (101-1) and the second block (101-2) among the first block (101-1) to the third block (101-3) of the 3-dot braille brick (101), and a 6-dot split type (160) has a printing projection (102) formed protruding only on the upper surface of the first block (101-1) and the third block (101-3) among the first block (101-1) to the third block (101-3) of the 3-dot braille brick (101). The 7th-3-dot split type (170) has printing protrusions (102) formed protruding only on the upper surfaces of the 2nd block (101-2) and the 3rd block (101-3) among the 1st block (101-1) to the 3rd block (101-3) of the 3-dot braille brick (101), and the 8th-3-dot split type (180) has printing protrusions (102) formed protruding on all upper surfaces of the 1st block (101-1) to the 3rd block (101-3) of the 3-dot braille brick (101).

[0021] Additionally, the first-3 point split type (110) to the eighth-3 point split type (180) are combined into a 6-point type for typesetting (6-T) having one meaning when any pair of the first-3 point split type (110) to the eighth-3 point split type (180) faces each as the first interlocking frame (103-1) to the third interlocking frame (103-3) is configured on the outer edge of the first block (101-1), the second block (101-2), and the third block (101-3), respectively, and at this time, a triangular uneven line is repeatedly formed on the outer surface of the 6-point type for typesetting (6-T), so that a plurality of 6-point type for typesetting (6-T) are continuously interlocked through the uneven line.

[0022] The operation of the divided type for braille typesetting according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0023] First, a pair of the 1st-3 point split type (110) to the 8th-3 point split type (180) are combined into a 6-point type for typesetting (6-T) that has one meaning through facing each other.

[0024] At this time, the outer edge of the 6-dot typesetting type (6-T) has a state in which triangular uneven lines are repeatedly formed by the interlocking frame (103) configured in the 1st-3rd dot split type (110) to the 8th-3rd dot split type (180).

[0025] Afterwards, in a state where multiple 6-dot typesetting typefaces (6-T) are combined as described above, the multiple 6-dot typesetting typefaces (6-T) are continuously interlocked up, down, left, and right through the triangular uneven lines provided by the interlocking frame (103), thereby fixing the positions of each 1st-3rd dot split typeface (110) to 8th-3rd dot split typeface (180), so that a braille typesetting (F) is completed as if the typefaces were inserted into a typesetting frame without a typesetting frame.

[0026] Afterwards, paper or a printing plate is placed on the upper surface of the braille typesetting plate (F) completed as described above, and the meaning of the 6-braille typesetting type (6-T) is printed on the paper or printing plate by applying a predetermined pressure to the braille typesetting plate (F) by the press plate (P) having a groove.

[0027] For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a first-3-point split type (110) rotated 180 degrees to the right is coupled to a fifth-3-point split type (150) to form a first type for typesetting (6-T-1), a first-3-point split type (110) rotated 180 degrees to the right is coupled to a fifth-3-point split type (150) to form a second type for typesetting (6-T-2), a fourth-3-point split type (140) rotated 180 degrees to the right is coupled to a fifth-3-point split type (150) to form a third type for typesetting (6-T-3), and a second-3-point split type (120) rotated 180 degrees to the right is coupled to a third-3-point split type (130). The fourth type for 4th type (6-T-4) is combined, and a pair of first-3 point split type (110) are combined in a mutually symmetrical manner to form the fifth type for 5th type (6-T-5), and the second-3 point split type (120) rotated 180 degrees to the right is combined to form the fourth-3 point split type (140) to form the sixth type for 6th type (6-T-6), and the fourth-3 point split type (140) rotated 180 degrees to the right is combined to form the seventh type for 7th type (6-T-7) to form the seventh type for 7th type (6-T-7), and the second-3 point split type (120) rotated 180 degrees to the right is combined to form the third-3 point split type (130) to form the eighth type for 8th type (6-T-8). A second-third-point split type (120) rotated 180 degrees to the right is combined with a fourth-third-point split type (140) to form a ninth type for typesetting (6-T-9). In this state, each type for typesetting can be continuously interlocked with adjacent ones through an interlocking frame (103) to complete a braille typesetting (F). The first type for typesetting (6-T-1) to the ninth type for typesetting (6-T-9) as described above represent the meanings of 'n', 'n', 'u', 'm', 'Blank', 'j', 'eo', 'm', and 'j', respectively, and can be printed on paper or a printing plate with the sentence 'Branch Braille' (the vowel 'a' can be omitted).

[0028] Accordingly, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, by dividing a 6-dot type having 6 dots arranged in 3 rows and 2 columns into 8 1st-3 dot divided type (110) to 8th-3 dot divided type (180) by dividing the 6-dot type having 3 or fewer adjacent dots located in 1 row and 1 column, 1 row and 2 column, and 2 row and 1 column, the braille typesetting (F) can be configured with fewer type than the conventional 6-dot type, thereby improving the storage and management of the type.

[0029] In addition, if a user wants to change a specific braille representation, they do not have to replace the 6-dot type, but only replace the corresponding 3-dot type among a pair of 3-dot type, which increases the flexibility of typesetting work and improves braille printing efficiency.

[0030] Additionally, when a pair of eight three-point typefaces are combined into a six-point typeface (6-T) through an interlocking frame (103), a triangular embossing line is repeatedly formed on the outer edge of the six-point typeface (6-T), and when multiple six-point typefaces (6-T) are interlocked with each other, a braille typesetting (F) is completed, thereby enabling braille printing without a typesetting frame, and thus the flexibility of braille printing can be improved.

[0031] Although specific embodiments have been described in the above-described invention, various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should not be determined by the described embodiments but by the claims and their equivalents.
