Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a binding device that can easily stitch together a continuous form in which variable information is printed out for each unit form and another continuous form in a dotted manner after printing out the variable information. It concerns continuous forms.

Conventionally, when using an impact format printer, which is an output device for an electronic computing device, variable information is printed out using a one-writing method on a continuous form consisting of multiple sheets of copy paper that are overlapped and bound in advance, and one set of multiple sheets is printed out. It was possible to obtain a unit form consisting of When a set of multiple pieces of information media is required for information transmission such as office work, record the information that makes up one set on the subsequent unit form,
Attempts have been made to use several unit forms adjacent to each other as a set.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages to making a set of printed unit forms into a booklet, especially when the number of sheets in one set increases or when the unit form is large size. There was a risk that this would cause some inconvenience, or that the stacking order would be distorted.

For this reason, in some forms for special uses, as in the case of collating continuous forms on which variable information has been printed out separately in a conventional continuous form manufacturing machine, quick-drying and slow-drying Attempts have been made to adhere while applying adhesive in a linear or dotted manner, but in office work after printing out variable information, binding while applying adhesive meant that it was difficult to prepare for adhesive application and adhere. Post-processing requires a lot of time and effort, and is not practical when the number of stitches is small.
If a jam occurs when setting up a machine or a jam occurs, the printed unit forms before and after the jam are also wasted, making it unsuitable for use in office work.

In addition, although we attempted to apply an adhesive that does not adhere with normal heat and pressure in advance, as in the case of conventional continuous envelope forms, when applying adhesive using conventional methods, the continuous form When adhesive is applied in a straight line along the edge of a continuous form, the adhesive blocks together when folded in a zigzag, which is inconvenient. When applied, it was suitable for gluing envelopes, but it required a large adhesive width and the area to which heat and pressure were applied increased, making it difficult to use for binding from both the material and form design points of view. As a continuous form, there were many disadvantages.

Furthermore, in order to prevent the adhesive from blocking when the continuous form is folded in a straight line in a zigzag manner, we attempted to apply the adhesive in dots, but this is not possible when folding a single continuous form. However, when stacking other continuous forms, since the unit forms of the continuous form have various lengths, the adhesives of one continuous form and the other continuous form do not correspond to each other. Furthermore, when the number of sheets to be stitched is increased, the adhesives do not correspond to each other at all, and even if the adhesives do correspond to each other, the device for applying adhesive conditions for the adhesive is complicated, and not only can it not be processed in the same operation, but it can also be processed at high speeds. I couldn't do it.

Therefore, in this invention, a continuous form in which variable information is printed out, and another continuous form in which unit forms of this continuous form and unit forms constituting one set are continuous, are bound continuously and linearly. The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous form for stitching that does not require a large width and can be economically and extremely easily stitched in dotted forms. Next, embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. .

Figure 1A, Figure 1B, and Figure 1C show the continuous form 11 for binding according to the present invention. The continuous form 12 in the middle of the continuous form for binding, and the continuous form 13 in FIG.
2 and 13 are unit forms 10 each having holes 1 for transferring the form at intervals of 1/2 inch with a hole diameter of approximately 4 mm on both sides so that each can be used separately in a printer which is an output device of an electronic computing device. are connected to each other with the cutout perforation 2 as a boundary, and the size of each unit form 10 in the continuous direction is the same, and the size in the continuous direction is an integral multiple (odd multiple) of the hole interval l ₁ .
It has a length of 4 or 5 inches, and is folded in a zigzag manner along the cutout perforation 2 at an integral multiple of the unit form 10, as will be described later.

Then, on the back side of the upper continuous form 11, the center between the top and bottom of the unit form 10 is set as a reference line L, and horizontal divisions _l2 are made in the vertical direction every half of the hole interval _l1 , and the reference line A vertical width l ₃ is taken in the direction perpendicular to the line L, and above the reference line L, as shown by the four corners of the dotted line, the area of even numbered horizontal divisions l ₂ and vertical width l _{3 is the adhesive area 3} , and the reference line L is set as the adhesive area 3. Below the line L, the area with the odd horizontal division l ₂ and vertical width l ₃ is the adhesive area 3,
An adhesive 4 is applied within these adhesive areas 3, which does not adhere under normal conditions but adheres under adhesive conditions such as heat and pressure.

In addition, the middle continuous form 12 is provided with a binding hole 5 along the hole 1 on the left side, and this binding hole 5 is used for adhesive bonding when stacked on the back side of the upper continuous form 11. They are provided corresponding to every other agent 4. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1B, the upper unit form 10 and the lower unit form 10 have different positions and numbers of binding holes 5.

Further, on the surface side of the lower continuous form 13, an adhesive 4 having the same quality as the adhesive 4 is applied to a portion corresponding to the adhesive 4 when superimposed on the back side of the upper continuous form 11. It becomes. These adhesives 4 are applied within a defined adhesive area 3 similar to the continuous foam 11.

In addition, in the above, the entire surface or a predetermined portion of the back side of each unit form 10 of the upper continuous form 11 and the middle continuous form 12,
A color-forming agent is coated with a color-forming agent that reacts with color-forming agents such as activated clay and resin, and encapsulates various dyes that cause them to develop color. A coloring agent is provided on the entire surface side of each unit form 10 or at a predetermined portion.

Further, on the surface of each unit form 10, an information entry section for a printer and a handwriting entry section for additional entry are provided. Further, 6 is a cutout perforation.

Next, the continuous form 21 for binding which is another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 2 will be explained. FIG. 2 A shows the upper continuous form 21, and FIG. continuous form 2
2. Figure 2 C shows the lower continuous form 23,
Figure 2 D is the middle continuous form 2 in Figure 2.
2 shows a medium continuous form 24 in which the transport hole 1 also serves as a binding hole, and the size of each unit form 10 in the continuous direction is an integral multiple (even multiple) of the hole interval l ₁ . It is becoming.

Then, on the back side of the upper continuous form 21, there is a reference line L, and horizontal divisions _l2 ' are made in the vertical direction at the same intervals as the hole interval _l1 , and vertical width _l3 is made in the direction perpendicular to the reference line L. Above the reference line L, as shown by the long four corners of the dotted line, the even-numbered horizontal division l ₂ ' and the vertical width l ₃ are defined as adhesive areas 3', and holes are made within these adhesive areas 3'. The adhesive 4 used in the previous embodiment is applied in dots at intervals of twice the interval _l1 .

In addition, the middle continuous form 22 is provided with a binding hole 5 along the hole 1 on the left side, and this binding hole 5 is used for adhesive bonding when stacked on the back side of the upper continuous form 21. It is provided corresponding to agent 4. In addition, the medium continuous form 24
When using the transfer holes 1, the transfer holes 1 also serve as binding holes, so the rows of the transfer holes 1 of the continuous form 24 are aligned with the rows of the adhesive 4 and overlapped.

Further, on the surface side of the lower continuous form 23, an adhesive 4 is applied which will adhere to the adhesive 4 in a portion corresponding to the adhesive 4 when superimposed on the back side of the upper continuous form 21. It becomes.

Next, a description will be given of a continuous form for binding which is another embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. are adjacent to each other with the cutout part 7 as a boundary, and are folded in a zigzag manner at every integer multiple of the unit form 10, and the upper continuous form 31 is as follows:
The structure is such that the upper continuous form 11 shown in FIG.
It has a structure in which the transport hole 1 on the left side of the lower continuous form 13 shown in FIG. 2B is missing.

Furthermore, to explain another embodiment of the present invention, in the above, the length of each unit form of a set of continuous forms for binding is an integral multiple of the hole interval, and this corresponds to the minimum unit form. However, if the length of the unit form is not an integral multiple of the hole interval, the unit form with the minimum number of units that is an integral multiple of the hole interval is used as the reference. For example, in the case of 3 1/3, it is 10 inches of 3 unit form, and in the case of 4 2/3, it is 14 inches of 3 unit form, and these are the minimum number of units form, and the center between the top and bottom of this minimum number of units form is the standard. The adhesive area and adhesive may be provided as described above.

In the above-described embodiment, the adhesive was applied regularly at every hole interval or every twice the hole interval, but the adhesive may be applied at predetermined locations if necessary. For example, as shown by diagonal lines in FIG.
If the adhesive 4 is provided only in the adhesive area of the second adhesive area, the upper and lower unit forms 10 are adhered at two points.

In addition, for the intermediate continuous form, when superimposed between the minimum number of units of the upper continuous form and the lower continuous form, the position corresponding to the adhesive 4 of the upper and lower continuous forms is added. The adhesive 4 may be applied to the surface.

In addition, the continuous form 30 for binding shown in FIG.
In this case, carbonless copying paper may be used, in which the front side is coated with a coloring agent and the back side is coated with a capsule-shaped coloring agent, and the coloring agent is applied to a predetermined portion of the lower continuous form 32 on the front side. Carbonless copy paper coated with

The invention will now be described in the context of the use of the continuous stitching form described above.

First, the upper continuous forms 11 and 21 folded in a zigzag manner are passed through a printer, which is an output device of an electronic computing device, and variable information and verification marks are entered in the information entry section of each unit form. Continuous form 12, 22 or 2
Variable information and collation marks are entered in each unit form 10 of 4 in the same destination order as above, and then each unit form 10 of continuous forms 13 and 23 which are lower order are filled in.
Enter variable information and verification marks in the same way as above.

After that, each continuous form 1 as shown in FIG.
1, 12, and 13 are set on the guide rolls 41, 41 and the tractors 42, 42', and then passed through the bonding condition applying devices 43, 43', as shown in FIG.
4. When using the binding form 10' through the blade 45 and high-speed roller 46, additional writing is made in the handwritten entry area, and copies are made and used in middle and lower unit forms.

In the above, when passing the tractor 42, a sensor S senses the verification mark attached to each unit form, and a verification device (not shown) performs verification to confirm unit forms destined for the same destination.

Further, the above-mentioned bonding condition applying devices 43, 43' are equipped with push pins P, the outer circumference of which is an integral multiple of the hole spacing, and the push pin tip side spacing is one or two times the hole spacing. When set on the tractor pin P' of the front tractor 42', the adhesive 4 can be pressed with the push pin P. The structure is such that the rotation can be adjusted and fixed for odd-numbered and even-numbered multiples.

The adhesion condition applying devices 43, 43' may be of a heat transfer type when the adhesive bonding condition is heat, and may be of a strong pressure application type when the bonding condition is pressure.

Continuous form 30 for binding shown in Fig. 3
After printing the necessary information, set it as shown in Fig. 6, divide it into the upper continuous form 31 and the lower continuous form 32 in the cutting device C, and The continuous forms 12 are combined and transported in the same manner as described above to create a binding form.

Therefore, in this invention, the adhesive area and the adhesive are provided as described above, and the adhesive is folded in a zigzag manner for each unit form that is an integral multiple of the hole spacing or for each integral multiple of the unit form. The upper continuous form and the lower continuous form do not overlap and do not cause blocking, and in the event of an accident during printing or when additional connections are made during stitching, the minimum number of units of form can be cut at any point in the form. Even if the adhesive application position is
Since the minimum number of units is the same for each form, their adhesives overlap, and when binding the medium continuous form, the medium continuous form is continuous at twice the hole spacing. Just by providing this, no matter where the minimum number of units of the medium form is cut, the upper and lower unit forms will be bound together with the adhesive. Therefore, when binding unit forms to the same destination, binding is not impossible.

In addition, since the adhesive applied in dots is placed in a straight line, it is easy to design a continuous form without requiring a large binding width, and it is economical. Moreover, the adhesive condition applying device is simple. It has the advantage of being able to have a flexible structure.
