Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a simple bookbinding tool for easily binding fixed-sized paper pieces such as postcards, business cards, various cards, photographs, etc.

Conventionally, various types of files made of plastic film with a large number of pockets have been widely used to organize these seed paper pieces. However, all of them have the disadvantage that they are not only larger than paper strips, but also expensive.

Therefore, the applicant of the present application previously proposed Utility Model Application No. 051502 of 1982 (name of the invention: Paper Piece Arranger) as a bookbinding tool that can be easily bound even by amateurs using the paper strips and is inexpensive. Including, Jitsugan 1986
No. 057027 of the year (name of invention: simple bookbinding tool), Utility Application No. 060540 of 1988 (name of invention: simple bookbinding tool),
Utility Application No. 070524 of 1988 (name of invention: simple bookbinding tool), Utility Application No. 073413 of 1988 (name of invention; business card)
The inventor of the present application proposed the development of
No. 118279 (name of the invention: book binding set, applicant: Iijima Binding Co., Ltd.).

However, although each of these methods achieved a certain effect and achieved a certain purpose, they were still unsatisfied with the following requirements.

That is, when a predetermined number of pieces of paper have been bound and one wishes to add or remove several to several dozen new sheets, it is basically possible to rebind the book after the additions and deletions have been made, but this has been lacking in convenience.

In response to such demands, the present invention has been improved to make it easier to add and remove pieces of paper in any of the bookbinding tools related to the above-mentioned application, and the details are as follows. .

That is, the present invention provides a simple bookbinding tool characterized in that a release agent-treated portion is formed on at least one of the front cover and the back cover in a region to which a spine made of an adhesive band is adhered.

Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given through examples illustrated in the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows an arbitrary piece of paper 11 consisting of a leaflet such as a New Year's card, a business card, a photograph, and various cards, sandwiched between a front cover 1 and a back cover 2 having approximately the same dimensions as the piece of paper 11, and an adhesive band. This figure shows a state in which the spine 3 is glued and bound as shown in the figure. Therefore, the side end surface of one side of the paper piece 11 is adhered to the adhesive surface 5 of the spine cover 3, and the similar side end surface and the flat portion of a predetermined width of the covers 1 and 2 are adhered.

Although this type of bookbinding using adhesive is not complete binding using hardening adhesive, considering the performance of recent adhesives, it is sufficiently practical as simple bookbinding mainly for organizing purposes. It is. Of course, for better bookbinding, it is preferable to use an adhesive layer with a larger thickness, or an adhesive layer with a base material such as non-woven fabric mixed in as in a double-sided adhesive tape to substantially increase the thickness and strength, or an adhesive layer inside the adhesive layer. An adhesive band with a foam adhesive layer containing countless air bubbles on one side.
It is desirable that the back cover 3 is configured.

Now, in FIG. 1, the shaded area indicated by 4 is the release agent treated area. Although the figure shows an example in which it is formed on the back cover 2, it may be formed on the front cover 1 or both covers 1 and 2 if necessary. This release agent treatment section 4 is treated with a known release agent (mold release agent, difficult-to-adhesive agent) such as a silicone-based or fluorine-based material whose physical properties have been adjusted to suit the adhesion and releasability to the adhesive surface 5. , is constructed by coating the entire surface of the shaded area shown in the figure. If necessary, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the adhesion and releasability can be adjusted by adjusting the area ratio of the coated area 6 impregnated with a release agent and the non-coated area 7. You can also. Depending on the material of the covers 1 and 2, in addition to directly coating the cover as described above, a release agent member in the form of a film or tape that has been treated with a release agent in advance may be attached to the cover by any other method. The release agent processing section 4 may be configured by being fixed.

In addition, it is sufficient to basically form the release agent treated part 4 in the area where the spine 3 will be bonded.
It does not necessarily have to coincide with the area, and may be the entire cover or may be small.

Next, the operation and effect will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, which are illustrated with the paper piece 11 removed for ease of explanation.

When rebinding a book by adding paper strips 11 after binding the book in the state shown in FIG. It can be easily peeled off. This means that the back cover 3 and the back cover 2 can be peeled off without damaging the back cover 3 and without leaving the adhesive of the back cover 3 on the back cover 2. It gives good results to rebind to the condition of the book. In addition, back cover 2
When peeling off the back cover 3 from the back cover 2, the release agent treated part 4 does not have to extend to the side end surface of the back cover 2.
Since the adhesive area is small, the back cover 2 can be separated without any trouble.

In this way, the spine 3 attached to the covers 1 and 2
However, the feature of the present invention is that the above-mentioned release agent-treated portion having appropriate adhesiveness and releasability is formed on at least one cover. This refers to adhesiveness that can be peeled off by hand without damaging the spine, and adhesiveness that does not peel off naturally even if the book is left upright after binding. It is easy to set up in practice.

Now, regarding the simple bookbinding tool for carrying out the present invention,
An example of the mode before bookbinding will be described.

Now, if we consider Fig. 2 to be the state before the paper pieces are bound into a book, if a known release paper (not shown) is provided on the exposed adhesive surface 5 in order to improve the handling of the article,
This itself constitutes the simple bookbinding tool of the present invention. That is, the release paper is removed during bookbinding, and paper pieces 11 are placed on the adhesive surface 5.
By adhering the side end faces of the paper strips 11, the paper strips 11 can be bound into a book, and addition and removal of paper strips can be easily done as described above.
This example relates to an improvement of the device disclosed in Utility Application No. 051502 of 1982, and the present invention can also be applied to other embodiments disclosed in that application, and this application does not fully incorporate the content of that application. It is intended to be used as a reference.

Furthermore, if Figure 2 is considered to be the state before the paper pieces are bound as in the previous example, the front cover 1 and the back cover 2
A simple bookbinding tool of the present invention is also constructed by bringing the back cover 3 into contact with the adhesive surface 5 of the spine cover 3 and adhering it to the release agent-treated portion 4 of the back cover 2 without exposing it.

Furthermore, the one illustrated in FIG. 6 is constructed in such a manner that the back cover 2 is separated from the spine cover 3.
In this case as well, the simple bookbinding tool of the present invention is constructed in the same manner as the embodiment shown in FIG. Of course, it goes without saying that after the paper strips are bound, they will look like the one shown in FIG. 1, and as mentioned above, a known release paper (not shown) is provided on the exposed adhesive surface 5 to facilitate handling. This example relates to an improvement of the device disclosed in Utility Application No. 057027 of 1982, and the present invention can also be applied to other embodiments disclosed in the application, and the present application does not fully incorporate the contents of the application. It is intended to be used as a reference.

Next, although not shown, the spine 3 and the front cover 1 are separated in FIG. A simple bookbinding tool that is sold in bulk as a three-item set of , back cover 2 and spine cover 3 with release paper is also an embodiment of the present invention. In addition, this example relates to an improvement of the invention related to the above-mentioned Utility Application No. 118279 of 1982,
The present invention is applicable to other embodiments disclosed in the application, and the present application fully incorporates the contents of the application.

FIG. 7 shows a back cover 3 bonded to a front cover 1 on which a release agent treated part 4 has been formed, and the exposed adhesive surface 5.
1 illustrates a simple bookbinding tool of the present invention that is equipped with a known release paper (not shown). In this case, the back cover does not necessarily need to be attached. This is because a piece of paper to be bound into a book can be used as a substantial back cover.
This example relates to an improvement of the device disclosed in Utility Application No. 057027 of 1982, and the present invention can also be applied to other embodiments disclosed in that application, and this application does not fully incorporate the contents of that application. It is intended to be used as a reference.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a device in which the entire adhesive surface 5 of the spine cover 3 is adhered to the release agent-treated portion 4 of the front cover 1 is also included in the simple bookbinding tool of the present invention. Note that a back cover may be attached to this example as well, if necessary.

The example shown in FIG. 8 is a further improvement of the one shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 7, a somewhat narrow release paper 8 is provided on the exposed adhesive surface 5 of the spine 3, and the sheet is folded, and then the remaining exposed adhesive surface 5 is attached to the front cover 1 (bottom surface in the drawing). However, a perforation-like cut indicated by 10 is formed on the spine 3 at the illustrated position. In this example, during bookbinding, the spine 3 is torn at the cut and the portion pasted to the cover 1 (lower side of the drawing) is left on the cover 1, and then the spine 3 is made into a state as shown in Fig. 7 above. When expanded, it becomes something similar to that shown in FIG. 7 and functions as a bookbinding tool as described above. What should be noted here is that when configured as shown in FIG. 8, its size is approximately the same as the pieces of paper to be bound.
Therefore, it is also possible to function in the same way as a piece of paper to be bound into a book. For example, if the cover 1 is the size of a business card and printed as a business card, a business card that can be bound into a business card can be constructed, and if the cover 1 is printed as a New Year's card in the size of a postcard, a New Year's card that can be bound as a New Year's card can be constructed.
This example is based on the above-mentioned Utility Application No. 060540 of 1982,
The present invention is an improvement of the invention related to No. 070524 of 2013 and Utility Application No. 073413 of 1982, and the present invention is applicable to other embodiments disclosed in these applications.
This application fully incorporates the contents of these applications.

The one in FIG. 9 has front and back covers 1 and 2, but the lower surface of the front cover 1 has a release agent treated part 9 instead of the release paper 8 in FIG.
(treated to improve releasability only),
The back cover 3 is attached to the front cover 1 as shown in the figure to achieve integration, while the back cover 2 is provided with the above-mentioned release agent treated portion 4.

As detailed above, the simple bookbinding tool of the present invention is characterized in that a release agent treated area is formed on at least one of the front cover and the back cover in the area where the spine made of an adhesive strip is adhered. Therefore, even after the book is bound, adding and removing pieces of paper can be done easily and efficiently.

In the present application, there is no particular difference between the front cover and the back cover, and they are only distinguished for the purpose of explanation.
Furthermore, printing on the covers 1 and 2 and the spine 3 is free.
