JPH0512168U - Customer original passbook - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] In a passbook used at a bank, etc., it is possible to attach a customer's favorite design etc. to the cover of the passbook while avoiding machine trouble when it is inserted into a CD machine. To do so. [Structure] The image of the customer's favorite design is printed in reverse mode on the image receiving layer of the transfer sheet by a printer using a sublimation transfer ribbon, and is applied to the passbook surface of the image receiving layer 7 side of the transfer sheet. A desired image is formed on the passbook cover 9 by thermal transfer. Further, the surface of the image receiving layer 7 having an image at the time of transfer is covered with the protective layer 8.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bankbook used in banks and the like, and more particularly to a customer's original bankbook whose cover design can be changed according to the customer's preference.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 It is common to print designs, characters, etc. on the cover of bankbooks used by financial institutions with a specific design for each financial institution. In addition, each financial institution may prepare several types of the same product as the cover design, considering the gender and age group of the customer. However, even if a large number of passbooks with different designs are prepared, the number is limited, and it is difficult to fully meet the needs of customers who demand originality.

Therefore, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-42163, a seal sticking partition is provided on the cover of a passbook, and various types of seals of different sizes and sizes that fit the partition are prepared. However, there has been proposed a cover sticker-attached passbook in which a customer selects his / her favorite sticker and affixes the sticker to the partition when creating the passbook.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, banknotes are usually handled by automated tellers / payers (CD machines) in addition to being handled at the counter. However, when a sticker is attached to the cover of a bankbook as described above, the Since it has a certain thickness, there is a partial step on the surface of the passbook, which may cause machine trouble when it is inserted into a CD machine. Moreover, such a seal generally has weak adhesive strength. There was a problem that it easily peeled off, and when it peeled off it would cause machine trouble.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and avoids the occurrence of machine troubles when the CD is inserted into a CD machine, and on the cover of a passbook, such as a customer's favorite pattern. The purpose is to obtain a passbook that can be attached.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The customer original passbook according to the present invention is characterized in that the image receiving layer of a transfer sheet having an image receiving layer on which an image is formed by sublimation transfer is thermally transferred onto the passbook surface.

[0007]

[Action]

 An image is formed on the image-receiving layer of the transfer sheet by sublimation transfer using, for example, a visual card printer from the customer's favorite pattern or photograph, and the image-receiving layer of the transfer sheet is thermally transferred to the passbook surface. A desired image is formed on the surface of the passbook. Since the transfer layer thus formed is an extremely thin layer, almost no steps are formed on the surface of the passbook, and the adhesive strength is not strongly peeled off.

[0008]

【Example】

 Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a customer's original passbook according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a layered structure of essential parts of the passbook.

In this embodiment, on the surface of the passbook 1, a store number / account number entry section 2 and a name entry section 3 are provided on the upper side, and a passbook name display character section 4 is provided slightly on the upper side from the center on the right side. , A bank name display character portion 5 is provided on the lower part on the right side, and a rectangular image transfer portion 6 is provided on the left side. As shown in FIG. 2, the image transfer portion 6 has an image receiving layer 7 made of a polyester resin on which an image is formed by sublimation transfer described later and a biaxially stretched polyester film layer (protective layer) 8 covering the surface thereof. Is thermally transferred. Note that the reference numeral 9 in FIG. 2 is the cover of the passbook.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a layer structure of a transfer sheet used for transferring an image to the image transfer section 6. In this transfer sheet 10, a biaxially stretched polyester film layer 8 is provided on a surface of a base material layer 11 made of expanded polyester via a weak adhesive layer 12, and a thermoplastic polyester resin (for example, manufactured by Toyobo; An image receiving layer 7'having a thin coating of Byron) is provided.

When the transfer sheet 10 is used to transfer to the surface of the passbook 1, first, the image is printed from a print pattern or photograph or the like desired by the customer using a printer (for example, a sublimation transfer ribbon). The image-receiving layer 7'of the transfer sheet 10 is printed in the reversal mode by a visual card printer manufactured by Sharp Co., Ltd.

Next, the transfer sheet 10 having the image formed in this manner is applied to the passbook surface on the image receiving layer 7 side where the image is printed, and hot-pressed, so that the image is returned from the reversal mode to the normal mode. The image is inverted and the desired image is transferred. When the base material layer 11 is peeled off after the transfer, the base material layer 11 is peeled off at the interface between the weak pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 and the biaxially stretched polyester film layer 8, and the image receiving layer 7 and the biaxially stretched polyester film layer (protective layer) 8 are passed. The layer structure is left as shown in FIG.

According to the present embodiment, since the image receiving layer 7 is formed of a thermoplastic resin which can be dyed with a sublimable dye, the image receiving layer 7 has a high adhesive strength and does not peel off from the passbook surface. Moreover, since the image receiving layer 7 and the protective layer 8 are extremely thin, no step is formed on the surface of the passbook, and therefore, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a machine trouble when the passbook is inserted into a CD machine. . Further, since the image on the image receiving layer 7 is covered with the protective layer 8, the image does not fall off due to contact with the roller of the CD machine and stain the passbook.

In addition to the above, the layer structure of the transfer sheet may be, for example, a foamed polyester layer / adhesive layer / biaxially stretched polyester film layer / release agent layer / image receiving layer. When configured, the image receiving layer and the release agent layer are transferred to the surface of the passbook, and the release agent layer serves to protect the image receiving layer.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the printed pattern or photograph is transferred to the surface of the passbook has been described. However, in addition, an image taken by a video camera, an image read by a color scanner, or the like can be processed by the processor. If it is processed and printed on a color video printer, it is possible to photograph the customer's face on the spot and transfer it to the passbook surface.

[0017]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, a customer original passbook can be attached to the cover of a passbook while avoiding the occurrence of machine traversal when inserted into a CD machine. Obtainable.
