Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a superposed card and a method for making the same, and more particularly to information to be concealed on at least a pair of superposed surfaces, which should be concealed (hereinafter referred to as concealment information). ) Is printed or various printed cards such as postcards and a method of making the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In this type of superposed card,
The adhesive strength of the peelable adhesive surface is surely adhered and concealed until the concealment information is transmitted to the other party, while the other party can easily and surely peel off the concealed information to visually recognize the concealed information. Required to be set. Conventionally, the adjustment of the adhesive force is performed by partially performing printing or printing for weakening the adhesive force or partially applying different kinds of adhesives for increasing the adhesive force.

[0003]

However, in the past, in the case of performing printing for adhesive force adjustment or printing,
It interferes with the transmission of concealed information because it overlaps with the printing or printing range of the information to be transmitted, and if this obstacle is avoided, conversely, there will be restrictions on the printing range, printing range, colors, patterns, etc. for adjusting adhesive strength. There is an inconvenience. Further, when partially applying different kinds of adhesives, it is necessary to apply a plurality of adhesives to a predetermined position in multiple stages, which makes selection of different adhesives and setting of an application range complicated. There is inconvenience. It is an object of the present invention to provide a superposed card and a method of making the same, in which such inconvenience is eliminated.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the superposed card of the present invention can be adhered by applying a predetermined pressure to at least a pair of superposed surfaces without normally adhering, After peeling, the peelable adhesive is used for peeling, and the information to be concealed is printed or printed on this adhesive surface, and a stronger pressure is applied to a part of the adhesive surface than other parts to enhance the adhesive strength. In addition, the adhesive force enhancing portion is provided.

Further, if the adhesive force enhancing portion is provided on the peripheral portion of the adhesive surface, careless peeling prevention and reliable and easy peeling operation can be performed.
Guaranteed more reliably.

The superposed card is not normally adhered to at least a pair of surfaces to be superposed, but can be adhered when a predetermined pressure is applied, and a card substrate coated with an adhesive that can be peeled off after adhering. While transferring in a predetermined direction, concealment information is printed or printed on the predetermined overlaying surface coated with the peelable adhesive and the other predetermined surfaces are appropriately printed or printed, and the overlaying surface is folded. After covering and concealing information by cutting and stacking, etc., a predetermined pressure is applied to bond the overlapping surfaces so that at least a pair of surfaces can be peeled off. It is made by applying stronger pressure than other parts.

The card base material may be in a continuous state or in a unit state. In the continuous state, the card base material is not adhered to at least a pair of surfaces to be superposed, and a predetermined amount is not required. When pressure is applied, it becomes possible to adhere, and the card substrate in a continuous state coated with an adhesive that can be peeled off after adhesion,
While transferring in a predetermined direction, concealment information is printed or printed on the predetermined overlaying surface coated with the peelable adhesive and information is appropriately printed on the other predetermined surfaces, and the overlaying planned surface is folded and cut. After covering and concealing the concealed information by superimposing such as overlapping, a predetermined pressure is applied to the superposed surfaces, at least a pair of surfaces are peelable, and a step of adhering and a step of unitizing the continuous state, While the steps are performed in any order, in the step of adhering, a stronger pressure is applied to a part of the adhering surface than that of the other part.

In order to apply a stronger pressure to a part of the adhesive surface than to the other part, it is preferable to perform the two-stage pressurization of the whole press and the partial press in any order. .

[0009]

Since the adhesive force enhancing portion is present on at least a part of the releasably adhered superposing surfaces of the card, it is possible to secure a reliable adhesion of the adhering surface at this portion and prevent accidental peeling. Also, the peeling operation of the adhesive surface can be easily and surely performed because the adhesive force of the adhesive force enhancing portion is not so strong that it is difficult to peel the adhesive surface.

Then, as shown in FIG. 9, a printer device (not shown), which is an output device of the computer, sends the address information 53 previously input to the computer from the front side of the postcard sheet 41. It is printed on the address surface 43a of the postcard main body 43, and the concealment information 54, 55 corresponding to the address information 53, such as usage statement information and billing amount information of a credit card, is displayed on the surface of the concealment information display surface 43b and the concealment piece 44. Is printed on the planned overlay surface. Next, the perforations 45a and 45b for cutting are broken by a slitter (not shown), and each marginal portion 4 is cut.
7a and 47b are removed.

Continuing further, a folding device (not shown)
As shown in FIG. 12, the folding perforations 42 are folded in two so that the surfaces to be overlapped are in contact with each other, and the address information 53 and the notice text 50 are displayed, while the concealment information 54, 55 is displayed. It is hidden and invisible from outside. Next, a predetermined pressure, which is the bonding condition of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 49, is applied by a pressure bonding device (not shown) similar to that of the first embodiment, which includes a pair of pressure bonding rollers and a pair of pressure increasing rollers. Adhesively attach the folded overlapping surfaces. As in the case of the first embodiment, this bonding is performed so that the entire surface can be peeled off by the pressure roller at the front stage, and four at each end in the width direction by the pressure roller at the rear stage, and one at the center of the top and bottom ends. The adhesive force enhancing portions 56a, 56b, 56c of are formed (see FIGS. 12 and 13). Although the adhesive strength of these adhesive force enhancing portions 56a, 56b, 56c is stronger than that of the other portions, it is not so strong as to make the peeling difficult and does not hinder the peeling operation.

Next, tension is applied by utilizing the difference in transfer speed between a pair of upper and lower infeed rollers (not shown) and a high speed roller (not shown).
A cutting blade (not shown) is applied to the folding and cutting perforation 48 that divides the postcard sheet 41 into unit sheets, and the postcard sheet 41 in a continuous state in which the overlapping surfaces are peelably adhered is attached. It is cut into unit sheets and used as postcards 57. The created postcards 57 are sent to a stacker device (not shown) by a pair of upper and lower transfer rollers (not shown) and sequentially stacked.

The postcard 57 thus created is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 12, it is possible to post the mail in the same manner as a general postcard, and the adhesive force enhancing portions 56a, 56a,
Since 56b and 56c are provided, the overlapping adhesive surface adhered releasably does not inadvertently peel off when the postcard 57 is handled, such as during mailing. On the other hand, the addressee who has received the postcard 57 is the concealment piece 44, which is the notification surface.
When the concealing piece 44 is rolled up in accordance with the peeling edge indication display 52 printed on the exposed surface of the, the adhesive surface between the concealing piece 44 and the postcard main body 43 is peeled off, and the concealed concealment information 54, 55 is hidden. Is exposed and visible. Here, in the adhesive portion corresponding to each of the adhesive force enhancing portions 56a, 56b, 56c, since the adhesive force is stronger than the other portions, the resistance at the time of rolling up is slightly large, but the peeling operation becomes difficult. Instead, the adhesive surface is damaged or the hidden information 5
It is possible to surely peel off without damaging 4, 55.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the postcard sheets 1 and 41 may be in a unit sheet state from the beginning instead of being in a continuous state, or in a folded state. Is not limited to partial overlapping,
They may be completely overlapped with each other, and the three-fold state is not limited to zigzag folding, and the lower paper piece 5 and the upper paper piece 3 may be sequentially folded over the middle paper piece 4. In addition to the folding, the stacking may be a cut or a stack of separate pieces of paper, and when there are two pairs of stacking surfaces such as tri-folding, at least one pair of stacking surfaces is adhesively peelable. However, the other superposed surfaces may be adhered so as to be difficult to peel off, and the superposing step and the adhering step in the case of a continuous state may be performed after forming a unit sheet. Also,
Adhesion enhancing parts 19a, 19b, 19c, 56a, 56
b, 56c may be provided on the peripheral edge of the overlapping surface, may be provided only along the edge opposite to the folded portion, or may be provided continuously in a linear manner, etc. is there. Furthermore, each marginal section 8a, 8b, 47a,
