Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a seal and a photographic holder, and more particularly to a seal used when organizing and storing photographs and a photographic holder using the seal.
[0002]
[Prior art]
It is common to use albums when organizing and storing photos. As this album, a fuel album (trade name) in which a transparent film is detachably attached to the surface of the mount is most popular (see Patent Document 1).
[0003]
The transparent film can be easily peeled off from the inner edge of the mount. After peeling the transparent film from the mount, the photograph is placed at a desired position on the mount and the transparent film is returned to the original position. As a result, the photograph is sandwiched between the transparent film and the mount, so that the photograph can be laid out and stored without using glue or corners.
[0004]
In recent years, it has become widespread to take a photograph taken by an individual as image data and print it with a favorite background such as a calendar to create a calendar with a photograph.
[0005]

JP-A-9-76682 [0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
According to the above-mentioned conventional album, although the photos can be organized and stored, there is a problem in appearance because the photos are simply placed side by side.
[0007]
For example, depending on how to take a picture, an outsider or an unnecessary background may appear. In this case, it may be possible to extract only the desired part by cutting off the part where the outsider is reflected with scissors etc. However, such work is very time-consuming and makes the appearance worse. There was a thing.
[0008]
Even if a photo was taken at an event, the situation at that time may be difficult to understand depending on the content. In this case, you may try to draw a picture or comment showing the situation at that time with a pen around the photo. However, this work is very time-consuming and makes it look bad. was there.
[0009]
In addition, in conventional calendars with photos, the photos are printed together with the background, so it is impossible to replace the photos.
[0010]
The present invention has been proposed based on the above-described conventional circumstances, and includes a sticker that can easily improve the appearance of a photograph, and a photograph holder that can exchange photographs according to preference using the sticker. The purpose is to provide.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention employs the following means in order to achieve the above object.
[0012]
That is, the present invention is premised on a seal composed of a back base material and a sheet member in which an adhesive that can be peeled off from the back base material is applied to the back surface. And this seal | sticker was provided with the window of the predetermined shape in the approximate center part of the said sheet | seat member. In this way, since only the desired portion is extracted by the window, the appearance of the photograph can be easily improved.
[0013]
Further, the surface of the sheet member can be decorated. In this way, the photo is surrounded by pictures and comments that represent the situation at the time, so the appearance of the photo can be further improved.
[0014]
The surface of the sheet member is preferably covered with a transparent film. In this way, not only can the photograph be protected, but also objects (such as coins and flower seeds) smaller than the size of the window can be organized and stored.
[0015]
Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which affixes a photograph so that reprinting is possible at the predetermined position of the mount which decorated the surface using the said sheet | seat member. Thereby, for example, a calendar with photos that can replace photos according to preference can be easily configured.
[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0017]
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 (A) is a plan view of the seal 10 according to the present invention, and FIG. 1 (B) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA. As shown in FIG. 1 (B), the seal 10 in the present invention is applied to the back surface substrate (release paper) 12 such as glassine paper or kraft paper and the back surface substrate 12 and an adhesive that can be peeled off. And a sheet member 11 such as white paper, art paper, or coated paper. And as shown to FIG. 1 (A), the rectangular window W was provided in the approximate center part of the said sheet | seat member 11, It is characterized by the above-mentioned. A method for forming the window W will be described later, and a method for using the seal 10 will be described below.
[0018]
First, as shown in FIG. 2A, it is assumed that there is a photograph 20 in which three persons are shown. In some cases, it is desired to extract only the person shown at the right end. In this case, the photograph 20 is arranged at an appropriate position on the mount, and the back substrate (release paper) 12 attached to the sheet member 11 is peeled off. Then, as shown in FIG. 2B, the sheet member 11 is attached to the mount 30 so that the person shown at the right end faces the window W.
[0019]
In this way, the photograph 20 is sandwiched between the sheet member 11 and the mount 30, and only the person shown at the right end is extracted by the window W. That is, according to the present invention, the appearance of the photograph 20 can be improved by a simple operation of sticking the sheet member 11.
[0020]
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1A, in the seal 10 according to the present embodiment, the portion other than the window W (hereinafter referred to as “frame F”) is plain. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2B, the date when the photograph 20 was taken can be described in the frame F using a pen or the like.
[0021]
In addition, as an adhesive apply | coated to the said sheet | seat member 11, adhesives which can be repeatedly stuck and peeled off, such as an acrylic solvent-type adhesive (hereinafter, referred to as an adhesive for re-peeling). Therefore, the sheet member 11 attached to the mount 30 as described above can be peeled off and reattached to another location. In this case, even if the mount 30 on which the sheet member 11 has been pasted is made of a material such as newspaper, no adhesive remains on the mount 30.
[0022]
Of course, as the adhesive applied to the sheet member 11, a type of adhesive called general strong viscosity may be used. In this case, the sheet member 11 can be semi-permanently attached to an adherend such as the mount 30.
[0023]
In the above description, the size of the seal 10 is not particularly mentioned, but the size of the seal 10 needs to be larger than the size of the object to be attached to the mount 30. Of course, when it is desired to attach a photograph 20 having a size larger than that of the seal 10 to the mount 30, the photograph 20 may be cut out with scissors or the like to have an appropriate size.
[0024]
(Embodiment 2)
As already explained, even if the photo 20 was taken at a certain event, the situation at that time may be difficult to understand depending on the content. In this case, a picture or comment showing the situation at that time may be drawn around the photo 20 with a pen or the like. However, this work is very time-consuming and makes the appearance worse. There was a thing.
[0025]
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the surface of the sheet member 11 is decorated as shown in FIG. The method for applying the decoration is not particularly limited. For example, if a known in-line printing apparatus is used, a variety of characters and colors can be printed on the sheet member 11.
[0026]
In this way, as shown in FIG. 4, the child's photograph 20 taken during the doll festival can be arranged at the center of the doll platform drawn on the frame F. That is, according to the present embodiment, the appearance of the photograph 20 can be further improved by a simple operation of attaching the sheet member 11.
[0027]
Of course, the contents of decoration applied to the frame F are not limited. For example, when organizing / saving a photograph 20 taken at the time of a noon festival, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), a sticker 10 on which ridges and folds are drawn can be used. Further, when organizing / saving the photograph 20 taken at Christmas, a sticker 10 on which Santa Claus is drawn can be used as shown in FIG.
[0028]
(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the seal 10 in the present embodiment.
[0029]
As shown in FIG. 6B, in the present embodiment, the surface of the sheet member 11 is covered with the transparent film 13. The transparent film 13 may be of a size that can cover at least the entire window W, and does not necessarily need to cover the entire “surface of the sheet member 11”.
[0030]
In this way, when the photograph 20 is attached to the mount 30 by the sheet member 11, the surface of the photograph 20 is not exposed from the window W and is covered with the transparent film 13. That is, the seal 10 in the present embodiment is advantageous in that the photograph 20 can be protected as compared with the seal 10 in the first and second embodiments. Moreover, according to the seal 10 in the present embodiment, items smaller than the size of the window W, such as coins, flower seeds, CDs (compact discs), chekis, polaroids (product names), postcards, can be organized and stored. There is also an effect that can be done.
[0031]
In addition, although the structure which added the transparent film 13 to the seal | sticker 10 demonstrated in Embodiment 1 was illustrated here, this invention is not limited to this. That is, as a matter of course, the transparent film 13 may be added to the seal 10 described in the second embodiment (the seal 10 in which the surface of the sheet member 11 is decorated).
[0032]
(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 7A is a plan view of the photographic holder 50 according to the present invention, and FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA.
[0033]
As shown in FIG. 7B, the photographic holder 50 of the present embodiment includes the sheet member 11 and the mount 30 described in the above embodiments. As described above, the sheet member 11 is coated with the adhesive for re-peeling, and the photograph 20 can be pasted to a predetermined position of the mount 30 so as to be freely pasted.
[0034]
Arbitrary decoration is given to the surface of the mount 30 by the above-mentioned inline type printing apparatus or the like. In FIG. 7, as decoration, 3 on each of the left and right sides of a predetermined area at the substantially center where the photograph 20 is pasted. Monthly calendar is printed.
[0035]
The material of the mount 30 is not particularly limited, and any material such as art paper, coated paper, or a resin sheet such as a plastic sheet can be used. In addition, if surface processing such as laminating is performed on the surface of the mount 30, for example, the sheet member 11 can be more easily replaced, and the surface of the mount 30 can be removed when the sheet member 11 is peeled off from the mount 30. The decoration will not stick to the adhesive and peel off.
[0036]
In this way, it is possible to configure a photo holder that can easily replace the photo 20 pasted on the mount 30 as desired. For example, a calendar with a photo that can exchange photos monthly. Can also be made easily.
[0037]
Further, when the photograph 20 is exchanged, the sheet member 11 may be reused to peel off the photograph 20 attached to the peeled sheet member 11 and paste another photograph on the mount 30. However, the photo 20 can also be pasted on an album or the like without being stripped off.
[0038]
Furthermore, as described in the third embodiment, if the entire window W of the sheet member 11 is covered with the transparent film 13, the photograph 20 can be protected from scratches and dirt, and the photograph can be made with the gloss of the film. 20 can be shown beautifully.
[0039]
Note that the decoration on the surface of the mount 30 and the attachment position of the photograph 20 illustrated in the present embodiment are merely specific examples, and do not limit the scope of the present invention.
[0040]
(Embodiment 5)
As shown in FIG. 9, the seal to which the present invention is applied can be manufactured by a special printing machine 40 in which a processing machine 41, a film tension machine 42, a press machine 43, and the like are integrated. If such a special printing machine 40 is used, a seal can be manufactured continuously and automatically.
[0041]
Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the seal to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail.
[0042]
First, in this embodiment, it is assumed that a plain roll-shaped tack paper 51 is used as shown in FIG. This tack paper 51 may be a general one, and is composed of three layers of a back substrate (release paper) coated with a sheet member, an adhesive, and silicone.
[0043]
Next, as shown in FIG. 8B, a decoration 52 is applied to the surface of the tack paper 51. As the printing method, an inline method may be adopted as described in the second embodiment, or another method such as an offset method or a screen method may be adopted. Of course, the contents of the ink used and the decoration 52 are not limited.
[0044]
As shown in FIG. 9, the tack paper 51 with the decoration 52 is conveyed to a processing machine 41 having a blade die 41 a having a shape that matches the outline of the window W. When the blade mold 41a is moved up and down, the window W is half cut in the tack paper 51. Half-cut refers to a processing method that cuts only the sheet member (that is, does not cut the back substrate).
[0045]
Next, a thermoplastic film 53 such as polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), or polypropylene (PP) is stretched by a film tensioning machine 42 so that at least the window W is covered (FIG. 8C).
[0046]
As shown in FIG. 9, the tack paper 51 with the thermoplastic film 53 stretched as described above is conveyed to a press machine 43 having a hot plate 43a made of brass or the like. The hot plate 43a is formed in a shape substantially coincident with the window W (here, a rectangle slightly smaller than the window). Therefore, when this thermal plate 43a is pressed onto the thermoplastic film 53, the thermoplastic film 53 and the sheet member of the window W portion are thermocompression bonded.
[0047]
Next, when the thermoplastic film 53 is wound up by the rotating roller 44 or the like and peeled off from the tack paper 51, as shown in FIG. 8D, the sheet member of the window W portion is attached to the thermoplastic film 53 and pulled out. (In FIG. 8D, the sheet member attached to the thermoplastic film 53 is not shown). As a result, the seal 10 from which the sheet member of the window W portion has been extracted is formed (FIG. 8E). In addition, in FIG.8 (D)-(F), the part of the window W extracted in this way is shown with the oblique line.
[0048]
Next, as shown in FIG. 8F, the surface of the seal is covered with a transparent film 13. Since this point has been described in the third embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted here.
[0049]
Finally, after half-cutting the outer periphery of the seal, it is cut into an appropriate size. Such processing can be realized by using the processing machine 41 described above. Therefore, when the surface of the seal is not covered with the transparent film 13, the outer periphery of the seal may be half cut when the window W is half cut.
[0050]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the seal described in the first to third embodiments can be manufactured without manual intervention. In particular, conventionally, the sheet member of the window portion had to be manually pulled out. According to this embodiment, the sheet member of the window portion is pulled out by a simple method of thermocompression bonding to the thermoplastic film. There is a great merit in that
[0051]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the seal of the present invention is characterized in that a window having a predetermined shape is provided in a substantially central portion of the sheet member. In this way, since only the desired portion is extracted by the window, the appearance of the photograph can be easily improved.
[0052]
Further, the surface of the sheet member can be decorated. In this way, the photo is surrounded by pictures and comments that represent the situation at the time, so the appearance of the photo can be further improved.
[0053]
Furthermore, the surface of the sheet member can be covered with a transparent film. In this way, not only can the photograph be protected, but also items (such as coins and flower seeds) smaller than the size of the window can be organized and stored.
[0054]
In addition, if a photo is pasted on a mount with a decorative surface, the photo can be easily exchanged according to the user's preference. be able to.
[0055]
In addition, the seal to which the present invention is applied can be manufactured without human intervention. In particular, there is a great merit that the sheet member of the window portion can be extracted by a simple method of thermocompression bonding to a thermoplastic film.
