DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of embodiments.
In figures, the reference numeral 1 designates a disc carrying post card. The post card 1 comprises a post card main body 2 and an information storage disc 3 ; having a diameter of 8 cm. As shown in figure, the post card body 2 is provided with a recessed portion 4 at a specified position of the rear side thereof. The recessed portion 4 is formed ay embossing it in a circular form corresponding to a shape o the information storage disc 3. The information storage disc 3 has a hole at the center thereof for installation on an information read/write device. The disc itself comprises a peripheral portion 5 around the center hole (hereinafter called as"center hole peripheral portion 5), an external peripheral portion 6 and an information stcrage areaportion 7 for storing optically readable-nformation Here, the center hole peripheral portion 5 and the externat- peripheralportion6 are non-infommation recording area and thus contain no information. The external peripheral portion 6 and information storage area portion 7 have a thickness of, for example, 0.6 mm or less and are made thinner than the center hole peripheral portion 5. The information storage disc 3 is mounted on the recessed portion 4 in such a way that information recording side of the information storage disc 3 faces the recessed portion 4. As shown in Fig. 1 (B), the external peripheral port ion 6 of the information storage disc 3 is attached to the recessed portion 4 by means of adhesive means 8 such as peel able and weak adhesive, thereby the adhesive means 8 attaches the information storage disc 3 to the recessed portion 4 in a detachable fashion.
For a concrete example o this disc carrying post card 1, for example, a polycarbonate resin is used as a material for a base material of the information storage disc 3, the diameter of the disc is 8 cm, and thickness of the information storage area portion 7 is 0.6 mm or less. Appropriate selecting of a weight of the post card main body 2 allows an overall weight of the disc carrying post card to be equivalent to that of a conventional post card, resulting in being capable of mailing it as a post card. figes. 2(A) and 2(B) show modification of the abcve-mentioned embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned recessed portion 4 is provided with a through hole 3 corresponding to the center hole peripheral portior. 5 of the informaton storage disc 3. The projected center hole peripheral portion 5 is fit to the through hole 9. Further, adhesive means 8 attaches an entire surface of the information recording side 10 which faces the recessed portion 4 o the recessed port ion 4 in a detachable fashion-In the above example, although the adhesive means 8 attaches the entire surface of the information recording side 10 facing the recessed portion 4 to the recessed portion 4 in a detachable fashion, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example it is possible to attach only the external peripheral portion 6 of the information storage disc 3 tc the recessed portion 4 in a detachable fashion. As adhesive means 8, an adhesive which has weak, peelable adhesive strength and does net remain on the detached disc when peeled may be used. In addition, it is possible to use a peelable sheet comprising temporarily bonded two films. Such a peelable sheet can be employed to fit the informaticn storage disc 3 to the recessed portion 4 in a detachable fashion. It is also allowed to use a resin having a thermo-compression adhesive property. Such a resin may be applied to the recessed portion 4 corresponding to the external peripheral portion 6 or the surface of the information storage disc 3 by thermo-compression bonding for retaining the information storage disc 3 in a detachable fashion The above example protides the recessed portion with a through hole corresponding to the center hole peripheral portion of the information storage disc. However, th-'-s through hole needs not to be a substantial hole. It is also possible to provide the recessed portion 4 with another recessed portion corresponding to the center hole peripheral portion for receiving it. In an alternative example, an adhesive sheet may be used to cover the through hole in the recessed portion 4 in a detachable fashion.
Fig. 3 shows the second embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, a disc-form region 11 is provided at a specified position on the post card main body 2 corresponding to the shape of the information storage disc 3. The fisc-forum recion 11 is composed by being divided by radial slits 12 to provice, for example, fout support flaps 13 having a shape of sector Each of the support flaps 13 can be raised to be folded at an external portion of the disc-form region 11. Further, each Di the support flaps 13 is alternately placed on both sides of the information storage disc 3 positioned to disc-form region 11 to étain the disc. An adhesive seal 14 is attached to tips of the support flaps 13 on each side of the information storage disc 3, thereby being attache to the center of information storage disc 3 to hold the information storage disc 3 in cooperation with the plurality of suoport flaps 13 on both sides.
As a result, a post card carrying information storage disc 3 can be provided.
Fig. 4 shows the third embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, the recessed portion 4 is formed at a specif ied position of the post card main body 2 by ust ng a sheet l such as a paper sheet or the like to cover an opening smaller than the s-ze of the information storage disc 3. The external peripheral portion 6 of the information storage disc 3 is attached to the external peripheral portion 16 of trie recessed portion 4 by means of adhesive means 8 in a detachable fashion.
Fig. 5 shows a modification of the third embodiment. The recessed portion 4 s formed at a specified position of the post card main body 2 by using a sheet 17, such as a paper sheet, a transparent plastic film, to cover an opening having a size of capable of receivir. the information storage disc 3. The information storage disc 3 is mounted on the recessed portion 4 so that the information recording side of the information storage disc 3 faces the recessed portion 4 and the external peripheral portion 6 of the information storage disc 3 is attached tc the sheet 17 by means of adhesive means 6 in a detachable a fashion.
Fig. 6 shows the fourth embodiment of the present indention.
In t :-s embodiment, the post card main body 2 itself comprising a post card plate 18 for describing an address and the like is made of the same synthetic resin material as that of the base material of the information storage disc 3. Further, the post card main body 2 has an opening larger than rhe size of the information storage disc 3. The disc 3 and the post card main body 2 are unified by a connecting portion 2C provided between the periphery of the information storage disc 3 and the periphery of the opening of the post card plate 18 in a detachable fashion.
In Fig. 6, the information storage disc 3 is surrounded by arc-sape separat-on 21 which is formedby alternate arrangement of s-its 19 and the short width connectinc portions 20. The number and position cf the arrangement of these slits and the connecting portions are not limitative to the shown embodiment.
Thereby the short width connecting portions 20 connect the post card date 18 to the information storage disc 3 in a detachable fashion. The short width connecting portion 20 of the separation 21 car. easily broken, preventing an unfavorable effect such as breakage on the information storage disc 3 when detached.
In t :-is embodiment, the connecting portion ray be formed ny injection molding at the same time when the plate and the disc are molded. Alternatively, it is possible to insert separately molded connecting portion between the plate and the disc and weld it thereto.
Each of the above-mentioned embodiments exemplifies an information storage disc made of polycarbonate resin as a base material thereof. The present invention is not limited thereto and mayemployethermaterialsforseir.suchaninformation storage disc. The present invention does not specify strength or hardness of information storage discs and ís applicable to other characteristics.
While there las been described what are at present considered to be preferred embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood that various modifications may be rade thereto, and it is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
