Description

  The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an information communication body used for DM, postcards, reciprocal postcards, sealed letters and the like. Specifically, despite the appearance of a single leaf, information communication that can transmit more information in a concealed state because a plurality of leaf pieces are folded or cut and overlapped and integrated in a peelable manner. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a body.

  Recently, postcards, etc., in which a plurality of leaf pieces are integrated so as to be peelable, are frequently used. Although this is a single-leaf postcard at a glance, since a plurality of leaf pieces are detachably integrated, it is possible to mail more information in a concealed state than usual. Of course, the postage fee is a normal postcard fee, so it has an advantage in terms of cost.

JP 2002-120478 A

  The method for manufacturing an information communication body according to the above document is characterized in that after forming a pseudo-adhesive medium on the surface of the information communication body paper, the information communication body is separated into a single information communication body paper and then proceeds to a downstream process. However, the paper on which the pseudo-adhesive medium is formed is very likely to curl, and it is extremely difficult to pass through a slitter, a folding machine, a crimping machine, etc. in a downstream cutting process, folding process, crimping integration process, and the like. That is, the paper that is irregularly bent due to curling protrudes from various guides to cause jamming or tearing, or is not conveyed straight along the slitter blades or various guide rollers, resulting in distortion. In particular, when the blank portion is cut off at an angle due to curling, the edges folded in the downstream folding process do not coincide with each other, and the object of the claim is made.

As a result of diligent research, the present inventors have been able to easily pass through each processing step without being affected by curl even with a paper on which a pseudo-adhesive medium is formed, and an information communication body that exhibits its performance particularly in the cutting step Invented the manufacturing method. That is, the present invention has an object to provide a method for manufacturing an information communication body that can manufacture an information communication body easily and very efficiently even by an amateur, and that can perform accurate and accurate cutting without any trouble in the cutting process. Yes.

In order to achieve the above object, the method of manufacturing an information communication body according to the present invention includes a sheet of paper on which the information communication body is imprinted, one by one so that the vertical direction of the information communication body is along the paper transport direction. A feeding step, a covering step for continuously covering a pseudo-adhesive film on a surface to be pseudo-adhered of a fed sheet, a continuous body by a pseudo-adhesive film continuously coated and continuously coated with a pseudo-adhesive film The folding process for continuously folding the sheet paper, the cutting process for cutting the continuously folded sheet paper for each information communication body, and the folding process before or after the cutting process. A method of manufacturing an information communication body comprising a pressure bonding step in which releasable integration is performed so that the pseudo-adhesive films coated on opposite surfaces of the sheet paper are releasably bonded,
The cutting process reads the leading edge of the first sheet that is continuously folded by the folding process or detachably integrated by the crimping process, and feeds the first sheet to a predetermined position. The top and bottom margins of the information communication body impressed on the sheet are cut simultaneously by a plurality of cutters, and then the subsequent sheet is read by reading the leading edge of the second and subsequent sheets to be conveyed. The sheet paper is sequentially sent to a predetermined position, and the operation of cutting the blank portion on the top and the bottom of the information communication body imposed on the sheet is repeated.

Furthermore, in order to achieve the above object, another cutting method for an information communication body according to the present invention is such that an information communication body is imprinted by printing so that the top and bottom direction of the information communication body follows the paper transport direction. The process of feeding one sheet at a time, the coating process of continuously coating the pseudo-adhesive film on the pseudo-adhesive surface of the fed sheet, and the continuous sheet of continuous paper by the continuously coated pseudo-adhesive film Folding process, cutting process for continuously cutting sheets continuously covered with a pseudo adhesive film and for each information communication body, and before or after the cutting process, by the folding process A method of manufacturing an information communication body comprising a crimping step of releasably integrating folded sheets so that the pseudo-adhesive films coated on opposite surfaces thereof are releasably bonded,
The cutting process reads the leading edge of the first sheet that is continuously folded by the folding process or detachably integrated by the crimping process, and feeds the first sheet to a predetermined position. Then, after sequentially cutting the top and bottom margins of the information communication body impressed on the sheet with a single cutter, the leading edge of the second and subsequent sheets conveyed subsequently is read to obtain the succeeding sheet. The sheet paper is sequentially sent to a predetermined position, and the operation of cutting the blank portion on the top and the bottom of the information communication body imposed on the sheet is repeated.

In the above steps, as described above, may be interchanged and cutting process of the folded sheet paper, and a crimping step of peelably integrated by pressurization or pressurization and heating the sheet paper .

  The operation of the above problem solving means is as follows. That is, the continuously fed sheet paper is covered with the continuously fed pseudo adhesive film. Therefore, the sheet is made continuous by the pseudo adhesive film. Unlike continuous single-sheet sheets, continuous sheet sheets are under tension, and curling is suppressed. Therefore, cutting is reliably performed in each downstream process, particularly the cutting process, and the accuracy is improved.

As described above, the manufacturing method of the information communication body of the present invention enables processing in the same state as that of continuous paper, even though it is a sheet of paper, and in downstream processes such as sewing and folding. Regardless of the curling problem of the film-coated sheet, it is possible to continuously process the production of the information communication body inline at once. In particular, according to the method for manufacturing an information communication body of the present invention, since the paper and the film are integrated in advance, no trouble occurs due to misalignment or chip processing of the both, and extremely easy and accurate cutting. Is possible. As a result, the yield in the cutting work is improved, the time and manpower can be reduced, and the cost can be greatly reduced.

First, a two-fold postcard which is the most basic form of the information communication body of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the sheet S1 includes, for example, two A4 wide sheets (chrysanthemum eight cuts) that are slightly larger than the A4 size, and two folded postcard sheets t1 having a double postcard size. It is impositioned. The two-fold postcard paper t1 has a first leaf piece 21 and a second leaf piece 22 connected via a fold line 23, and a postage stamp field 24 and a postal code field 25 are printed on the surface of the first leaf piece 21, General information 26 such as advertisements is described on the surface of the leaf piece 22. On the other hand, on the back surface of the first leaf piece 21 and the second leaf piece 22, for example, personal information 27 that requires secrecy (the information does not necessarily need to be secrecy, and general information or general information and personal information may be mixed). Is described.

The sheet S1 is stacked on the left paper platform 1 in FIG. For example, the suction sheet 2 (which may be a feed roller or the like) is used to lower the right side of the stacked sheet S1 so that the top and bottom direction of each two-folded postcard sheet t1 is along the sheet transfer direction. Sequentially sent out at regular intervals (see FIG. 3). The fed sheet S1 is sent to the downstream heat rollers 4 and 4 by the downstream nip rollers 3 and 3. Then, the pseudo-adhesive film G is fed out from the roll waiting on the upper side, and is aligned with the planned pseudo-adhesion surface of the sheet S1 between the heat rollers 4 and 4.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 4, the pseudo adhesive film G forms a pseudo adhesive layer 32 on one surface of a base material 30 that is relatively stiff and rigid, such as polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polycarbonate, acetate, polyester, and the like. At the same time, a known heat-sensitive adhesive layer 31 made of polyethylene, EVA, EEA, EAA, ionomer or the like is formed on the other surface, and is usually wound and stored in a roll shape.

As shown in FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B), the back surface (pseudo-adhesive planned surface) of the sheet S1 aligned with the heat rollers 4 and 4 and the pseudo-adhesive film G are formed on the pseudo-adhesive film G. It is firmly bonded via the agent layer 31. Then, the sheet S1 becomes a continuous continuous material by the pseudo-adhesive film G that is continuously drawn out, and is further sent to the slitters 6 and 6 downstream.

In the slitters 6 and 6 on the downstream side, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), the margin portion V1 in the sheet transfer direction indicated by the oblique lines is cut off.
As shown in FIG. 6B, the margin portion V1 in the sheet transfer direction can be cut continuously by a combination of the slitter 6 and the backup roller 36 along the sheet transfer direction. At this time, if the folding sewing machine L is simultaneously formed by the sewing machine blade 35 or the like (which may be provided with a folding line), the folding operation in the subsequent folding process can be easily performed.

Sheet sheets S1 paper delivery direction of the margin V1 is ablated through the FIG. 7 (A) and support rollers 7 and the folding machine 9 further downstream create slack between 8 in the state shown in (B) Fig. As shown in FIG. 8, it is folded in half. Then, it is conveyed to a further downstream process by the support roller 10 and the nip rollers 11 and 11.

Downstream of the nip rollers 11 and 11, cutters 12 and 12 by various methods such as Thomson, rotary, swing, slide, and guillotine are installed. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the blank portion V2 on the top and bottom sides of the folded sheet S1 (the portion indicated by hatching) is cut out by the cutter 12.

Hereinafter, the cutting operation according to the present invention will be described over time with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the sensor X detects the leading edge P of the sheet S1 that is initially transported from the left to the right. Then, the sensor X sends out and stops the sheet S1 to an arbitrary position as shown in FIGS. 10 (A) and 10 (B). For example, slide cutters Y and Z are arranged at intervals corresponding to the top and bottom size of the two-folded postcard paper t1, and the two-dot chain line Q portion is cut simultaneously. As a result, the half-folded postcard paper t1 is cut out as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the two-fold postcard paper t1 is fed rightward. At this time, the blank portion V2 on the top and the side at the position preceding the traveling direction is dropped and eliminated.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the subsequent two-fold postcard paper t1 advances to an arbitrary position and stops in the same manner as the preceding two-fold postcard paper t1. In the same manner as described above, the two-dot chain line Q portion is simultaneously cut. As a result, the subsequent two-fold postcard paper t1 is cut out as shown in FIG. At this time, similarly to the above, the blank portion V2 on the top and bottom that precedes the traveling direction is dropped and eliminated.
The above is the description of a series of operations for cutting out the two folded postcard sheets t1 from the sheet S1.

By the way, in FIG. 13, after the two two-fold postcard sheets t1 are cut out, the subsequent sheet S1 is continuously fed out, and the portion where the pseudo adhesive film G appears at that time is shown. pass. Since this portion is transparent, the sensor reacts to detect the leading edge P of the subsequent sheet S1. Then, the sensor X sends out and stops the sheet S1 to an arbitrary position as shown in FIGS. 14 (A) and 14 (B). Then, as shown in FIG. 15A, the two-dot chain line Q portion is simultaneously cut. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 16 (the same diagram as FIG. 12), the same operation as the preceding sheet S1 is repeated.

The pseudo adhesive film G and the sheet S1 are firmly bonded in advance. Therefore, in the cutting of the two-dot chain line Q, it is possible to avoid troubles such as the pseudo adhesive film G and the sheet S1 being separated and wound around a cutter or a conveyance roller. If the two are not bonded in advance, the margin V2 of the preceding sheet is cut once in the middle of the exposed pseudo-adhesive film G at the joint between the preceding and succeeding sheets S1, S1. Although it does not work well unless measures are taken such as removing scraps of the pseudo-adhesive film G, such trouble does not occur in the present invention.

The half-folded postcard paper t1 from which all margins have been removed passes through, for example, heat rollers 13 and 13 (which may be a combination of a heater panel and a pressure roller) installed further downstream, thereby heating and pressurizing. It is processed and integrated so as to be peelable as shown in FIGS. 17 (A) and 17 (B). The completed information communication body J (two-folded postcard) is finally accumulated on the stacker 14 on the right side of FIG. 1 by a belt conveyor or the like.

In the above-described embodiment, the slide cutters are arranged at two locations indicated by the two-dot chain line Q and the cutting operation is performed almost simultaneously, but it is not always necessary to perform them simultaneously.
Further, for example, the slide cutter may be disposed only at one location on the upstream side, and the blank portion V2 may be cut off by repeating the cutting operation sequentially.

Next, another aspect of the present invention will be described.
Figure 19 (A) and as (B), the single wafer sheet S2 is postcard paper t2 Ri threefold almost postcard 3 boysun sizes larger A3-Wide paper slightly from example A3 size (Chrysanthemum four switching) is 3 It is imitated. The three Trifold postcard paper t2 the first lobed 61, second lobed 62, and the third leaf piece 63 is connected via a fold line 64 and 65 respectively, the first lobed 61 surface and the postage stamp field 66 postal The number field 67 is printed, and the second leaf piece 62 and the third leaf piece 63 have, for example, personal information 27 that requires secrecy (the information does not necessarily need to be secrecy, and general information or general information and personal information are mixed). Can be used). On the other hand, general information is written on the back surface of the third leaf piece 63, and personal information 68 requiring confidential information on the back surface of the second leaf piece 62 and the first leaf piece 61 (not necessarily confidential information, general information or General information and personal information may be mixed).

The sheet S2 is stacked on the left sheet mount 41 in FIG. The stacked sheets S2 are stacked one by one from the uppermost surface, and for example, the suction pad 42, etc., as in the case of the sheet S1 described above so that the top and bottom direction of each tri-fold postcard sheet t2 is along the sheet transfer direction. As a result, the process is sequentially sent to the process on the right side downstream while maintaining an equal interval. The fed sheet S2 is sent to the downstream heat rollers 44, 44 by the downstream nip rollers 43, 43. Then, the pseudo adhesive film G is unwound from the rolls waiting upward and downward, and between the heat rollers 44, 44, as shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B , on the front and back surfaces of the sheet S2. It is aligned with the pseudo-adhesive planned surface.

Then, the pseudo-adhesive planned surfaces on the front and back sides of the sheet S2 and the pseudo-adhesive film G are firmly bonded via the heat-sensitive adhesive layer 31 formed on the pseudo-adhesive film G. Thus, the sheet S2 becomes a continuous continuous material by the pseudo-adhesive film G that is continuously drawn out, and is further sent to the slitters 46 and 46 downstream.

In the downstream slitters 46 and 46, as shown in FIG. 21, a margin V3 in the sheet transport direction is cut off. The blank portion V3 in the paper transport direction can be removed continuously by the combination of the slitter 46 and the backup roller 36 along the paper transport direction , as in the case of FIG. 6B. In this case the folding perforation L, for example, perforation blade 35, etc. (may be with a crease) makes it possible to easily perform three Trifold working in folding step following by forming simultaneously.

Sheet sheet S2 to the sheet transport direction of the margin V3 is ablated through the FIG. 23 (A) and support rollers 47 and further downstream of the folding machine 49 creates a slack between 48 in the state shown in (B) Fig. 22 is folded into a Z-shaped cross section. And as in the case described above clamshell postcard, vertical side margins of the respective three Trifold postcard paper t2 are sequentially removed is cut under the control of the sensor X, eventually FIG 24 (A) and (B ) Will be the finished product.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
For example, there are no particular restrictions on the position or number of sensors . In the embodiment, it is provided below the passing sheet, but may be provided above, or may be controlled by a plurality of sensors .
Regarding the variation of the folding of the information communication element J, Ri clamshell or a three Trifold threefold winding folded state in addition to (Z-folding) description, or may be further folded form of more of the plurality leaflets. That form of least Ri threefold is folded bellows-folded or wound more than quarto, or there is a double door fold and mixed forms thereof.
Further, the pseudo-adhesive film is not pseudo-adhered unless the pseudo-adhesive layer 32 is opposed and a prescribed treatment is performed. For this reason, no problem occurs even if the surface other than the pseudo adhesion planned surface (for example, the back surface of the third leaf piece in FIG. 19) is coated.
