Definitions

  • This invention relates to a paper containing a fine weakened tear line and to a method for the manufacture of the paper.
  • tear lines of so-called "perforations” are formed by punching or incising linear series of holes by some mechanical method or other through the papers along the lines intended for tearing.
  • the first reason for the poor operational efficiency is that all the methods form the perforations by use of blades so that, because the filler on.the surface of paper contains a material harmful to the cutting edges of such blades, the cutting edges are rapidly worn and, therefore, must be ground or wholly replaced with new supplies at frequent intervals.
  • the third reason is that the decisive slowness of the perforating work compared with the printing work bottlenecks the whole operation, that the setting of the comb-tooth blade in the perforating device requires fairly advanced skill, and that the quality of perforating work is continuously degraded from the time a new blade is put to use and the time the blade wears out and verges on replacement and this gradual degradation of work quality results in dispersion of the quality of produced perforations.
  • Knives designed exclusively for making newspaper clippings are available. They are useless unless a suitable cutting cushion is available for holding newspapers fast in position. Besides, they have no portability.
  • Blades have directionality. Since the blade cuts the paper in the direction of its cutting edge, it cannot easily cut the paper along a sharply curved line. When the portion to be clipped off has a complicated outline, the blade must be handled with all possible attentions.
  • This invention relates to a paper containing an entirely novel fine weakened tear line and to a method for the manufacture of the paper.
  • the paper-containing the tear line contemplated by this invention is useful for business forms, tickets, postage stamps, and paper containers which are required to possess tear lines.
  • the fine weakened.tear line of this invention takes the place of the conventional perforations formed by the mechanical method using a suitable cutting blade.
  • the fine weakened tear line contained in the paper of this invention is formed by chemically-weakening the portion of fibers ofthe paper falling in the fine line with a liquid containing a cellulose-degrading agent such as sulfuric acid. The paper, therefore, can be readily torn along the fine tear line with slight force.
  • This invention is aimed at providing a paper containing a fine weakened tear line formed by chemically degrading the portion of cellulose of the paper falling in the fine line by use of a paper-weakening liquid formulated with a cellulose-degrading agent and water so as to seep through the paper in the direction of its thickness.
  • the paper-weakening liquid is desired to contain sulfuric acid as a cellulose-degrading agent in a concentration of 0.1 to 30 weight percent.
  • the method for the manufacture of this paper comprises causing the paper-weakening liquid to be supplied in the form of a fine line from a liquid supply means onto the paper, thereby allowing the fine line of the liquid to seep through the paper in the direction of its thickness, and consequently chemically weakening the portion of cellulose of the paper in the fine line.
  • the first embodiment of this method utilizes a line-printing plate which has an elongated liquid feed edge of a hard material thrust out in a straight line from the plate and effects the manufacture of the paper by simultaneously pressing the liquid feed edge of the line-printing plate against the paper along the line and transferring the liquid in a straight line from the liquid feed edge to the paper surface.
  • the second embodiment makes use of a paper-incising pen which has a writing point communicate with the paper-weakening liquid formed of a cellulose-degradation agent and water and contained within a penholder through the medium of an exudation path formed of bubbles, capillaries, grooves, fiber bundles or non-woven fabric and bordering on the liquid and effects the manufacture of the paper by sliding the paper-incising pen on the paper along the line and causing the paper-weakening liquid to be transferred onto the paper surface and penetrated into the paper along the line.
  • the portion of the paper which falls in the fine line has a weakened fiber structure.
  • the paper can be torn freely along the line formed by means of the line-printing plate or the paper-incising pen.
  • This invention relates to a paper containing a fine weakened tear line obtained by causing a paper-weakening liquid formed of a cellulose-degrading agent and water to seep through the paper in the direction of its thickness along the line thereby chemically degrading the portion of cellulose of paper along the fine line, whereby the paper will be easily torn along the fine line and to a method for the manufacture of the paper.
  • Papers containing fine weakened tear lines which are produced by this invention are useful as business forms, tickets, postage stamps, and paper containers which are required to possess tear lines.
  • the papers of this invention contain fine weakened tear lines obtained by chemically degrading the portions of fibers falling in the fine lines with the liquid containing a cellulose-degrading agent such as sulfuric acid. When necessary, therefore, these papers can be easily torn along the fine line with weak force.
  • fine weakened tear line shall mean the fine line formed in a given paper by causing the paper-weakening liquid to seep through the paper along the fine line in the direction of its thickness thereby chemically degrading the portion of cellulose of paper falling in the fine line, whereby the paper will be easily torn along the fine line with weak force.
  • paper is a sheet of entangled fibers with a sizing agent and other fillers deposited to fill out interstices between the fibers.
  • the strength of a given paper mainly depends on the strength of fibers, the length of fibers, and the condition of entanglement of fibers.
  • the weakening of the paper along the fine line has heretofore been accomplished by piercing a row of holes (perforations) through the paper along the line by some mechanical method.
  • this invention forms a tear line in the paper for facilitating the tearing of paper by chemically degrading the portion of cellulose of paper falling in the fine line with a cellulose-degrading agent.
  • FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the time-course change of the ease with which the treated paper is torn.
  • the curve A represents the effect of the physical force exerted on the paper by the writing point such as of a pen or the edge such as of a printing plate
  • the curve B the effect of water caused to seep through the paper
  • the curve C the effect of a cellulose-degrading agent similarly caused to seep through the paper.
  • the tear line formed as described above retains practically constant easiness of tearing along the course of time because the paper-weakening effect is the result of the combination of the quick effect of the water and the slow effect of the cellulose-degrading agent.
  • the excellence in its slow manifestation of the effect constitutes one of the salient characteristics of the present invention.
  • the phenomenon that the texture of paper is generally weakened by water and by chemical substances is widely known to the art.
  • the present invention originated in the effort directed to harnessing this well-known phenomenon for industrial applications, with paper selected as the subject matter of utility.
  • the present invention therefore, is characterized by providing a paper containing a fine weakened tear line formed as novel means of tearing by chemically degrading the portion of texture of paper falling in the fine line.
  • cellulose-degrading agents include hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate, nitric acid, hypochlorous acid, chlorous acid, perchloric acid, salts thereof, nitrogen peroxide, ozone, sulfuric acid, periodic acid, and salts thereof.
  • Preferred examples are sulfuric acid, potassium permanganate, and calcium chlorate.
  • hydrolyzing agents examples include inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid, organic acids such as formic acid and peracetic acid, acidic salts such as potassium hydrogen sulfate, sodium hydrogen sulfate, sodium hydrogen phosphate, and sodium hydrogen carbonate, and alkalis such as caustic soda and caustic potash.
  • inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid
  • organic acids such as formic acid and peracetic acid
  • acidic salts such as potassium hydrogen sulfate, sodium hydrogen sulfate, sodium hydrogen phosphate, and sodium hydrogen carbonate
  • alkalis such as caustic soda and caustic potash.
  • Preferred examples are sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, and peracetic acid.
  • the degradation of paper by the irradiation with ultraviolet light requires preliminary application of a sensitizer such as zinc oxide or titanium oxide to the paper.
  • the degradation of paper is limited to the mere application of an esterifying agent or oxidizing agent.
  • the portion of the paper affected by the reaction may be dissolved afterward by use of a solvent.
  • the cellulose-degrading agents which are advantageously used in the present invention are sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, and peracetic acid which are capable of causing some of the aforementioned reactions in combination.
  • sulfuric acid proves to be particularly desirable.
  • the reactions including hydrolysis, dissolution, esterification, and oxidation concurrently proceed in a complicated manner.
  • free sulfuric acid disappears before long.
  • the portion of cellulose which has been sulfurized induces the immediately adjoining portion of cellulose to be weakened. In this manner, the degradation of cellulose proceeds in the manner of a chain reaction, though limited locally.
  • the effective concentration of the cellulose-degrading agent cannot be fixed specifically because it is affected by various factors such as the method of application (inscription or printing), the number of lines, the depth of incision, the quality of paper, and the thickness of paper. Generally, however, this concentration is in the range of about 1 to 30 weight percent.
  • sulfuric acid is the most desirable.
  • the effective concentration is in the range of about 0.1 to 30 weight percent, preferably 1 to 10 weight percent. If the concentration is less than 0.1 weight percent, the effect of cellulose degradation is too feeble to permit desired tearing of paper. If the concentration exceeds 30 weight percent, the corrosion of machine and apparatus by the chemical reaction is so violent as to jeopardize the health of human beings. Particularly when the agent is applied by means of the pen, the concentration is desired to be lower than 10 weight percent to ensure absolute safety.
  • the paper-weakening liquid may be an aqueous solution which comprises the cellulose-degrading agent mentioned above and water.
  • This liquid is desired to contain additionally at least one member selected from the group consisting of dyestuffs, pigments, tackifiers, and wetting agents.
  • the tackifier serves to retard the infusion of the liquid into the paper texture and, therefore, contributes to the slow manifestation of the cellulose-degrading effect.
  • the liquid when the liquid is applied by the conventional printing technique, the liquid is desired to possess viscosity approximating the viscosity of the printing ink adopted for the conventional technique.
  • the liquid may incorporate a suitable amount of a tackifier selected from among sodium polyacrylate, CMC, sodium starch glycolate, and methyl cellulose.
  • a tackifier selected from among sodium polyacrylate, CMC, sodium starch glycolate, and methyl cellulose.
  • a tackifier selected from among sodium polyacrylate, CMC, sodium starch glycolate, and methyl cellulose.
  • an acid solution may be suspended as a water-in-oil type emulsion in an ordinary stand oil or printing varnish with the aid of a surfactant.
  • an acidproof coloring matter or pigment incorporated in advance in the liquid enables the printed line to become conspicuous and facilitates the location of the line.
  • the portion of cellulose of paper falling in the fine line has been chemically degraded. Since the degraded fibers of paper still retain the original entangled structure, they are held together in a state of feeble physical bondage.
  • FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a paper 1 on which a fine weakened tear line 6 is applied to one side of the paper under mild pressure not so strong as to impart a notch to the surface. It is noted from the diagram that the paper-weakening liquid has penetrated through the paper surface to produce a portion 2 of heavily degraded cellulose and a portion 3 of feebly degraded cellulose encircling the former portion 2, with a portion 4 of undegraded cellulose remaining on the opposite side of the paper.
  • FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a paper on which a fine weakened tear line 6 is applied to one side of the paper under powerful pressure enough to impart a notch 5 to the surface.
  • the paper-weakening liquid passes preferentially in the direction of the thickness of paper to the area of paper and produces a weakened tear line having a smaller width and a greater depth than otherwise.
  • the fine weakened tear line may be formed in a continuous straight, bent, or curved line. Otherwise, it may be formed in a discontinuous straight, bent, or curved line consisting of dots, dashes, or alternating dots and dashes.
  • the fine weakened tear line in the paper of this invention is desired to be formed with a colored liquid so as to facilitate the location of the produced line.
  • the coloration of the tear line may be accomplished by the method which consists in applying to the paper a paper-weakening liquid containing either a dyestuff or pigment from the beginning therein or the method which consists in having the position of the tear line indicated in color with a suitable mark before or after the paper-weakening liquid is applied to the paper.
  • FIG. 4' is an enlarged photograph of a paper having a fine weakened tear line 6 formed thereon.
  • the tearing can be made with the torn edges of paper running smoothly along the fine weakened tear line without deviating from this line as illustrated in tile enlarged photograph of FIG. 5.
  • the expression "deviation from the tear line” as used in the present invention shall mean the situation that despite an effort to tear the paper along this tear line, the torn edges of paper runs out of the tear line.
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged photograph of a paper wherein a weakened tear line is formed by the insertion of perforations by the conventional mechanical technique.
  • the slit at the center represents the position at which the paper is torn.
  • the tearing can be made with ridges and grooves occurring alternately on the torn edges of paper as illustrated in the enlarged photograph of FIG. 7.
  • a deviation from the tear line may start in one unweakened portion between one weakened point (perforation) and the immediately adjacent weakened point (perforation) and spread randomly in a lateral direction relative to the direction of the tear line as illustrated in the enlarged photograph of FIG. 8.
  • the desired tearing of paper along the tear line cannot be accomplished because the torn edges of paper run at random.
  • FIG. 9 and FIG. ]0 are explanatory diagrams illustrating how the papers respectively containing a straight and a curved fine weakened tear line 6 of this invention appear after they have been manually torn by an ordinary method using feeble force.
  • the sharp torn edges of these papers serve evidence that the papers are both torn.neatly along the weakened tear lines.
  • FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are explanatory diagrams illustrating how the papers respectively containing a straight and a curved tear line 7 formed of perforations by the conventional mechanical technique appear after they have been torn with ordinary attention without impartment of any crease in the papers along the perforations.
  • the fronts of tear deviate from the directions of perforations and run in random directions to involve "deviation 9.”
  • the tearing should be performed with the meticulous care or after impartment of a crease in the papers along the tear lines.
  • the torn edges of papers are not sharp because they inevitably contain ridges and grooves 8 alternately.
  • the front of tear tends to run in a random direction and involve the phenomenon of "deviation 9.”
  • the paper does not suit actual use.
  • the fine weakened tear line contemplated by the present invention is formed by only weakening the limited portion of the texture of paper exclusively in the direction of thickness. No completely severed portion occurs anywhere in the tear line of this paper. Solely by the method of this invention it is made possible to effect the heretofore unattainable thorough degradation of the limited portion of texture of paper throughout the entire length of the tear line. Consequently, the otherwise possible occurrence of the deviation of the front of tear from the tear line which is ascribable to the interposition of absolutely unweakened portions can be precluded.
  • the portions to which the paper-weakening liquid is applied and the portions to which the liquid is not applied may be arranged alternately after the pattern of a dotted line to produce a tear line resembling the conventional tear line formed of perforations.
  • the fine weakened tear line contemplated by the present invention can be formed by first breaking the resin layer under the pressure exerted by the line-printing plate or paper-incising pen and subsequently applying the paper-weakening liquid in the form of a fine line to the paper and allowing the liquid to seep through the portion of fibers of paper falling in the fine line.
  • the fine weakened tear lines, straight or otherwise, to be formed in papers of high strength or large thickness can be adjusted so as to ensure neat tearing and avoid deviation by suitably selecting the concentration of the paper-weakening liquid, the feed volume of the liquid, the magnitude of the pressure applied, etc.
  • the method of this invention therefore, suits the formation of curved tear lines and the formation of tear lines in papers of high strength better than the conventional method and notably enhances the easiness of paper tearing.
  • the cellulose-degrading agent such as, for example, sulfuric acid in the liquid reacts with the cellulose of paper to induce the phenomenon of combination, adsorption, or addition of cellulose, and the water in the liquid passes out through vaporization.
  • the weakened portion of paper no longer has any sulfuric acid to liberate.
  • the paper of this invention in which the fine weakened tear line has been formed as described above is a novel paper.
  • Papers containing the fine weakened tear lines produced by this invention can take the place of the conventional papers containing tear lines of mechanically formed perforations such as business forms, postage stamps, tickets, paper containers, and paper patterns.
  • the paper of this invention accordingly, has the merit of slow manifestation of the paper-weakening effect.
  • tear lines by this invention therefore, can be effectively incorporated as one step in the conventional continuous printing process.
  • the operation permits easy management and promises high-speed mass treatment.
  • L This invention thus, proves highly advantageous from the economic point of view.
  • the first method of this invention which produces a paper containing a fine weakened tear line formed by use of the paper-weakening liquid bears some resemblance to the conventional printing method.
  • this method utilizes a line-printing plate which has an elongated liquid feed edge of a hard material thrust out in a straight line from the plate and effects the manufacture of the paper by simultaneously pressing the liquid feed edge of the line-printing plate against the paper along the line and transferring the liquid in a straight line from the liquid feed edge to the paper surface.
  • the formation of the fine weakened tear line on the paper by the present invention is carried out by causing the liquid capable of chemically degrading the paper texture to pass in a fine line into the paper. And this operation is incorporated as one step in the printing process.
  • the objects sought by the ordinary printing technique are widely at variance with those sought by the operation for the formation of fine weakened tear lines according to this invention.
  • the conventional printing technique cannot be utilized in its unmodified form.
  • the formation of the fine weakened tear line on the paper is accomplished by first depressing the paper surface in the direction of the thickness of paper enough to break the surface and subsequently forcing the paper-weakening liquid to pass into the paper again in the direction of its thickness.
  • the line-printing plate has a liquid feed edge made of a hard material so as to enhance the magnitude of pressure applied to the paper surface.

  • the pigment or dyestuff is used, it is at most expected to readily locate the fine weakened tear line formed on the paper. What is rather important is that the paper-weakening liquid should be thoroughly seeped through the paper in the direction of its thickness. Thus, the amount of the paper-weakening liquid to be used per unit area of the paper is fairly large by the standard of the conventional printing operation.
  • the liquid feed edge has a finely coarsened surface so as to have the liquid amply retained in the recesses of the coarsened surface.

  • the method of this invention for the formation of fine weakened tear lines is one form of printing operation.
  • the paper-weakening liquid to be used therein additionally incorporates a pigment or coloring matter, the fine weakened tear lines produced on papers become readily discernible and, therefore, requires no additional treatment of the papers for the insertion of marks which aid in the location of tear lines.
  • the other method of this invention which is available for the manufacture of a paper containing a fine weakened tear line makes use of a paper-incising pen and effects the manufacture of the paper by sliding the paper-incising pen on the paper along the line and causing the paper-weakening liquid to penetrate into the paper along that line.
  • the paper-incising pen to be used in this manual method has a writing point which communicates with the paper-weakening liquid formed of a cellulose-degrading agent and water and contained within a penholder through the medium of an exudation path formed of bubbles, capillaries, grooves, fiber bundles, or non-woven fabric and bordering on the liquid.
  • the paper-incising pen When this paper-incising pen is slid in a desired pattern on the paper, the water contained in the paper-weakening liquid swells the paper texture and, at the same time, the relatively hard and sharp writing point of the pen imparts a scratch to the freshly swelled portion of paper, with the result that the paper-weakening liquid will penetrate the paper in the direction of its thickness and give rise to a fine weakened tear line in the paper.
  • the paper containing the fine weakened tear line can be neatly torn with feeble force along this tear line either immediately after the incision of the line or when necessary.
  • writing point of the paper-incising pen is meant the very point of the nib of this pen which comes into direct contact with the paper surface at the time of incision.
  • the pen point is required to be in such a construction that it always retains the front of the flow of the paper-weakening liquid from the reservoir within the penholder and, upon contact of the writing point with the paper surface, readily releases the flow of the liquid to the paper.
  • any of the pen points generally used in writing utensils of ordinary run such as for example, glass pens, ceramic pens with porous tips, popular iron pen points with slits, and felt points of nylon, polyester and other fibers, non-woven fibers, and spongy substances can be effectively used as the pen point for the paper-incising pen, Since this paper- incising pen is expected to fulfil the part of inflicting a mechanical damage in addition to wetting the paper with the paper-weakening liquid, the pen point is desired to be made of a hard material such as ceramic, rigid plastic, or acidproof metal, for example.
  • the felt pen made of non-woven fabric or fiber bundle may be made useful when it is hardened with a plastic paste or some other hydrophilic paste enough to inflict a scratch upon the freshly wetted paper surface.
  • the pen point for use in the present invention is required to be provided with an exudation path which is interposed between the reservoir of the paper-weakening liquid and the writing point and is used for delivering the liquid in a suitable amount to the writing point.
  • this exudation path is formed of a metallic, ceramic, mineral, or plastic material of suitable hardness containing open cells, then the pen point may be formed by extending the exudation path and cutting the extended portion in the shape of a pen. If the pen point is made of a solid material of close texture, grooves may be formed on the periphery as found in a glass pen or a communication path may be formed along the axis.
  • the interstices between the individual fibrous threads serve advantageously as an exudation path.
  • a bundle of hollow fibers can also be used. Fine tubes of ceramic, mineral, plastic, or metallic substance are also useful.
  • the writing point of the pen is desired to be relatively thin.
  • the scratch inflicted upon the freshly wetted paper surface has a small width and the cut line formed in the paper is sharp.
  • the easiness of tearing is enhanced in proportion as the depth of the scratch thus inflicted upon the paper increases.
  • the magnitude of pressure applied by the unit area of the writing point increases with the decreasing thickness of the writing point. This means that efficient infliction of a deep scratch is obtained by amply decreasing the thickness of the writing point.
  • the diameter of the writing point is desired to fall in the range of about 0.05 to 1.0 mm, preferably about 0.2 to 0.5 mm.
  • the paper-incising pen of this invention is desired to provide a larger flow volume of the paper-weakening liquid than the ordinary writing utensils.
  • the covering effect matters very much.
  • Efforts are made to vest the writing utensile with an ability to provide continuous flow of the writing fluid in the least possible amount and permit the user to produce clear, even handwriting for a long time.
  • the pen is rather desired to provide ample flow of the liquid so that the liquid will penetrate the paper throughout the entire thickness of the paper.
  • the flow volume of the liquid should suffice for the purpose of the weakening of the portion of paper texture falling in the fine tear line.
  • the flow volume of the liquid for continuous scribing is desired to be not less than 0.2 g/100m and not more than 1.4 g/100 m under the conditions that the scribing speed is 7 cm/sec, the scribing load is 200 g (equivalent to 1960 mN; N for Newtons), and the angle of the pen point with the paper surface is 65°.
  • This flow volume is equivalent to 1.2 to 8.4 times the flow volume per 100 m generally involved in the ordinary commercially available water marking pens.
  • FIG. 18 is a longitudinal cross s.ect.ion of the paper-incising pen according to this invention.
  • Denoted by 25 is a pen point made of a porous aluminum oxide material containing open cells. In this pen point, the open cells constitute an exudation path.
  • the writing point 26 of the pen has as small a radius of carvature as 0.2 mm and is smoothly ground.
  • By 27 is denoted a tube which is filled with an acidproof, swellable material 28 such as acrylic fibers and the paper-weakening liquid. One end of the tube is converged to form a socket for holding the pen point 25.
  • an aqueous solution containing 1 weight percent of CMC, 5 weight percent of sufuric acid, and 0.01 weight percent of red coloring matter (acid red) is used as the paper-weakening liquid.
  • an air-vent plug for preventing leakage of the aqueous solution from the tube 27.
  • a penholder, 31 a cap, and 32 a clip is denoted.
  • the paper-incising pen illustrated in FIG. 18 has the paper-weakening liquid contained in the tube and stowed within the penholder.
  • the paper-weakening liquid may be contained directly in the penholder.
  • the pen may be so constructed that the writing point of the pen will be kept retracted within the penholder when the pen is not in use, and thrust out of the penholder when the pen is used. Otherwise, the pen may be in such a construction that the pen point will be kept within the penholder when not in use and removed from the penholder when put to use.
  • FIG. 19 illustrates another typical paper-incising pen using a different pen point.
  • Denoted by 25 is a pen point made of a plastic material containing finely divided silicon carbide.
  • On the periphery of this pen point are formed grooves which provide communication between the writing point 26 and the base 33.
  • the grooves thus, constitute an exudation path 34.
  • the base 33 is encircled with a tube 27 and held fast at the leading end of the penholder.
  • FIG. 20 illustrates a paper-incising pen in which the pen point and the writing point are both made of a felt of bundled fibers, or non-woven fibers.
  • the pen point and the writing point are rigidified by having their felt points squeezed with a reinforcement of metallic or rigid plastic substance or by having their felt points of non-woven fibers solidified with a resin and tightened with a reinforcement 35 of metallic substance.
  • the tube 27 and the pen point 25 are combined integrally.
  • the pen point 25 receives the supply of the paper-weakening liquid via the fine pores of fibers which draw the liquid by the phenomenon of capillarity.
  • an aqueous solution composed of a cellulose-degrading agent and water or the same aqueous solution additionally containing at least one member selected from the group consisting of dyestuffs, pigments, tackifiers, and wetting agents is available.
  • the wetting agent is useful for the purpose of allowing the liquid to retain the paper in a moistened and swelled state.
  • the tackifier is useful for increasing the viscosity of the liquid.
  • the paper-incising pen resembles the ordinary writing utensil and, provides ready portability.
  • this pen may be encased together with an ordinary writing utensil in one penholder. At the time of use, the pen may be drawn out of the penholder to get the writing point ready for use on the paper. Because of the portability, the pen can be used at any time and place to make tear lines in papers.
  • the paper-incising pen has stable sharpness of cutting and retains this sharpness notably longer than the cutting blades.
  • the filler contained in the paper forms a cause for wearing the cutting edge of the blade.
  • the wear of the cutting edge is so heavy that the blade must be replaced after it has inserted a total of some tens of meters of cuts in papers.
  • the sharpness of cutting widely differs when the cutting edge has worn out to the verge of replacement and when the cutting edge has been freshly replaced.
  • the produced papers inevitably suffer from dispersion of quality.
  • since the pen has only to deliver to.
  • this pen With 1 g of the paper-weakening liquid, this pen can draw a total of more than 70 meters of tear lines with the same sharpness of cutting.
  • the paper-incising pen of the present invention does not suffer from otherwise possible loss of the sharpness of cutting.
  • the pen can take crippings neatly from individual sheets of paper without fail under a fixed pressure of pen.
  • the pressure of one and the same pen there can be formed tear lines with scratches of controlled depths such that the papers containing them may be most effectively torn immediately after, several minutes after, or several days after the insertion of the tear lines.
  • the paper-incising pen of the invention can be obtained by simply substituting a rigid, slender pen point of high liquid-flowing property for the cutting blade, it can be mass produced very economically.
  • the papers were torn along the curved tear lines to test for the time-course change of tear strength.
  • the results of the test were as shown in Table 2.
  • the papers were those of JIS P3201 (writing grade A) having a thickness of 0.09 mm.
  • the tear lines incised on the papers were completely dried about 60 minutes after their application to the papers.
  • the plate was obtained by applying finely divided silicon carbide 120 mesh in particle size in a fine line 0.4 mm in width with an epoxy resin adhesive to the surface of a polyester sheet having a thickness of 0.5 mm, so that the liquid feed edge acquired a finely coarsened surface containing alternating ridges protuberances and recesses.
  • This plate was applied to a plate cylinder.
  • the application of the liquid to papers was carried out under the conditions of printing speed 120 m/min. and liquid feed volume 0.5 g/m. of tear line.
  • the papers containing the applied tear lines were left standing for 30 minutes to dry the applied liquid. Then the papers were torn along the tear lines to test for tear strength and easiness of tearing.
  • the results were as shown in Table 3.
