Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to an OCR character gauge used when writing OCR characters on OCR forms, etc.

(Prior technology) OCR character gauges, which have been used in the past, have transparent OCR characters on the gauge body made of synthetic resin plate.
As shown in Figure 2, transparent OCR characters are simply placed along the reference line.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) In the case of the conventional product as mentioned above, since the reference line is simply provided at the lower edge of the character string, it is difficult to use OCR.
When writing OCR characters on a form, etc., even if it is possible to match the characters to the character string, it is difficult to fit the characters within the writing frame in the direction of the line, which not only takes time, but also requires accuracy in the writing frame. There were times when the quality was lacking.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention was devised in view of the above points, and it is possible to match not only the character string but also the alignment direction of the characters to the entry frame of the OCR form etc. It is also designed to be faster, easier, and more accurate.

In other words, the present invention provides a gauge body that is made of a synthetic resin plate, etc., and is provided with parallel lines along the reference line.
The characters for OCR are transparent, and the periphery of each character is
Each area is individually divided with halftone dots, thin diagonal lines, or coloring to match the size of the OCR character entry frame on the OCR form.

(Example) Fig. 1 shows an OCR character gauge according to the present invention, in which a thin plate made of synthetic resin or the like is used for the gauge body A, and a plate surface 1 is provided with katakana a, OCR characters, etc. dakuten b, handakuten c, arithmetic numeral d, etc.
Characters 2 necessary for filling in OCR forms, etc. are transparently provided in parallel.

Katakana a is grouped consecutively in each line of 50 syllables, among which the ka, sa, ta, and ha lines have the following characters:
On both sides or on one side, a voiced mark b is added, and on the C line, a handakuten c is added, and on the bottom line, an arithmetic numeral d is provided.

There is a reference line 3 at the lower edge of each row of characters 2 such as katakana a, voiced mark b, handakuten c, and arithmetic numeral d, and these characters 2 for OCR are
are individually divided by halftone dots so as to match the size of the OCR character entry frame 5 of the OCR form B as shown in FIG.

The peripheral area 4 of this halftone dot may be a thin diagonal line instead of a halftone dot, or may be colored.

The reason why the voiced mark b is placed on both sides or one side of the lines KA, SA, T, and C, and the half-voiced mark c is placed on one side of the line C is that the voiced mark b and the half-decimal mark c are placed within the entry frame of OCR form B. This is to reduce the amount of movement when aligning.

The one shown in Fig. 2 is a conventional OCR character gauge, and the plate surface 1' of the gauge body A' has a
OCR of katakana a′dakuten b′, handakuten c′, arithmetic numeral d′, etc.
The letters 2' are transparently placed in parallel, but this is
Only a reference line 3' is provided at the lower edge of each character string, and no means of dividing each character 2' is provided.

(Effects of the invention) The OCR character gauge of the invention has OCR characters transparently installed in parallel along the reference line on the gauge body made of a synthetic resin plate, etc., and each character is
The periphery of each character is divided by halftone dots, thin diagonal lines, or coloring in the same size as the entry frame of OCR forms, etc., so the characters in each column are divided by dots, thin diagonal lines, or coloring. It looks like a band and is separated from other parts, and since the character groups are arranged along the reference line, it is extremely easy to fit into the column of entry frames on OCR forms, etc., and each character is , the surrounding area is divided, so it is easy to fit each entry frame, and the gauge can be easily adjusted.
It is extremely quick and easy to respond to OCR forms, etc., and is also accurate.

Furthermore, it is much more aesthetically pleasing than the conventional board with character strings transparently placed on it.
