Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a card assembly for use as a memo, an address, a word book, an organization, and the like in which a large number of cards obtained by cutting a middle sheet, a thick plate, etc. are cut. It is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various types of card aggregates of this kind, and an example shown in FIG. 7 is generally used.

In this card assembly 21, a large number of cards 22 obtained by cutting thick paper into a rectangular shape are piled up and bound together with a cover 23 and a backing sheet 24 through a connection ring 26 in a linking hole 25 provided at a central portion at one longitudinal end. Have been.

[0004] In order to prevent the card assembly 21 from falling apart, a band member 2 made of an elastic cord or the like is used.
7 is fixed to the backing sheet 24 so as to bind the end of the card assembly 21 opposite to the connecting ring 26.

As shown in FIG. 8, the band member 27 has an end shape, and two end portions 27A and 27B of the band member 27 are respectively inserted into two mounting holes 28 provided on both right and left ends of the card mount 24. And is fixed by caulking through a metal pin 29.

As shown in FIG. 9, both ends 27A and 27B of the band member 27 are inserted into a mounting hole 28 provided at the center of the end of the backing sheet 24.
27B are fastened and fixed by a stopper tube 30 having a C-shaped cross section in a state where they are arranged in a straight line outward in opposite directions.
In some cases, the stopper tube 30 is used to prevent the band member 27 from coming off the mounting hole 28.

[0007]

In the above-mentioned conventional card assembly 21, the connecting ring 26 merely serves to connect the cards 22 at one end thereof, and the band member 2 has a connecting function.
The reference numeral 7 is merely provided to fulfill a binding function of preventing the cards 22 from being separated from each other, and the influence of these members 26 and 27 on the external design of the card assembly 21 is hardly considered.

For this reason, although the commercial value can be improved by adding the binding function with the band member 27, the commercial value of the card assembly 21 may be lowered rather than the design, and the consumer's value may be reduced. The purchase will not be stimulated much.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of such circumstances, a first object of the present invention is to increase the willingness to purchase a card assembly by using a band member or a connecting ring to improve the design of the card assembly. .

On the other hand, in the conventional card assembly 21, FIG.
As shown in (1), both ends of the band member 27 must be fixed by caulking, so that there is a drawback that the production labor is increased and the production cost is increased.

In the method of fixing the band member 27 shown in FIG. 9, both ends 27A and 27B of the band member 27 are also used.
Must be inserted into the mounting hole 28 and then the stop tube 30 must be tightened and fixed. In this regard, the time and effort required for the production are increased and the production cost is increased.

In view of such circumstances, a second object of the present invention is to reduce the manufacturing cost of a card assembly by making it easier to attach a band member than before.

[0013]

In order to achieve the first object, the present invention takes the following technical means.

That is, the card assembly according to the present invention comprises:
A band member and / or a connection ring for maintaining the stacked state of the stacked cards are both design components for the card assembly.

In this case, the band member or the connecting ring not only has a function of binding or connecting the card but also has a meaning in design with respect to the appearance of the card assembly. The design value of the product is increased, and the consumer's willingness to purchase can be increased.

For example, in a case where the outline of the card is an animal design of a card in which a popular animal is modeled, by tying a portion located on the neck with a band member, the band member serves as a dog collar. Can be held,
This increases the design value of the card assembly.

The outline shapes of the card, the cover and the backing sheet may be animals such as dogs, bears, pandas, cats, dolphins, dolls,
Various shapes such as manga characters and flowers can be adopted.

Further, in the case where the outline shape of the card is a pattern of a human face, if the connecting ring is arranged at the ear portion of the pattern, the connecting ring can be regarded as a piercing. The design value of the card assembly can be increased.

Even if the outline of the card is a simple shape such as a rectangle or an oval, a meaningful pattern such as an animal or other character is applied to the cover and / or the mount, and the band member and the connecting ring are provided. Can be used as a design component for this symbol.

The band member may be an endless rubber or an endless rubber or a rubber cord in which rubber is coated with a fiber cloth, and its cross-sectional shape can be variously changed, such as a round shape or a belt shape. It can be appropriately selected in consideration of the design.

In order to achieve the second object, the present invention takes the following technical measures.

That is, the card assembly according to the present invention comprises:
An endless band member is attached to an end of the card cover or the backing paper.

More specifically, the endless band member is inserted into a mounting hole provided at the end of the cover or mount of the card, and is directly connected to the end.

In this case, a part of the endless band member is folded and inserted into the mounting hole of the cover or the backing sheet, and one of the bands protruding to the front (or back) side of the cover or the backing sheet is attached to the back (or front). The band member can be attached to the cover or the backing sheet by inserting the band member into the other side and pulling and tightening one of the band members.

Therefore, the work of caulking a metal pin or a stopper tube as in the prior art is not required, so that the work of attaching the band member is facilitated and the production cost can be reduced.

According to the present invention, the endless band member is attached to the end of the card assembly via a connecting member fixed to the cover or mount of the card assembly.

In this case, as the connecting tool, for example, a connecting tool in which male and female hooks made of synthetic resin are connected by a linear connecting body can be used.

According to this, in a state where the endless band member is linked to the connecting member in advance, the male and female hooks are attached from both sides of the cover or the mount to the mounting holes provided at the end of the cover or the mount. The band member can be easily attached to the cover or the backing sheet by connecting it so as to sandwich it.

The hook made of synthetic resin can be obtained as a commercial product at a low cost, so that the material cost can be reduced, and if the hook is attached to the end of the cover or backing paper, the card can be damaged. There is also little to get in the way.

[0030]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a card assembly 1 according to the present invention.

The card assembly 1 is composed of a number of cards 2 made of middle paper or cardboard cut into the shape of a dog, a cover 3 and a backing paper 4 of almost the same shape and size as the card 2, and the card 4 2, a cover ring 3 and an endless band member made of a rubber band tied to a connection ring 6 inserted into a connection hole 5 formed in a tail portion of the dog pattern on the mount 4 and a portion corresponding to a neck portion of the dog pattern. 7 is provided.

The cover 3 and the backing sheet 4 can be made of cardboard of the same quality as the card 2, and can be made of a synthetic resin sheet or a foam synthetic resin sheet (for example, polyurethane sponge).
It can be. In addition, printing (for example, color printing) can be performed on the cover 3 or the backing sheet 4 or on the outer side of the opposite side.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cover 3 has
An attachment hole 8 for attaching a band is provided at an end located above the neck of the dog design, and the band member 7 is directly attached to the cover 3 using the attachment hole 8.

That is, the band member 7 is first folded partly and the folded end is attached to the mounting hole 8 of the cover 3.
, And one end of the band member 7 protruding to the front side of the cover 3 is inserted into a loop at the other end of the band 7 protruding to the back side of the cover 3, and one end of the band member 7 is pulled to By tightening to the other end side, it is directly tied to the end of the cover 3.

Therefore, since the crimping pin and the stopper tube as in the prior art are not required and can be easily attached, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the card 2 is directly in contact with the card 2. There is no danger of getting on or disturbing, and the product value can be increased.

As shown in FIG. 1, the band member 7 in this case is located at the neck portion of the pattern of the dog when the card 2 having the contour shape of the dog is tied with the band member 7, so that the collar of the dog is used. It has a meaningful design from the viewpoint of the image, and has not only a binding function of the card assembly 1 but also a function as a design component.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show a main part of a second embodiment of the card assembly 1 according to the present invention. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the band member 7 is attached to the cover 3 via a connecting member 9 made of synthetic resin.

A commercially available hook is used for the connecting member 9, and the hook female member 10 and the hook male member 11 are integrated by a linear band linking member 12. The attachment of the connecting member 9 to the cover 3 is performed by using the attachment holes 8 of the cover 3.

That is, first, the endless band member 7 is linked to the endless band member 7 through the hand linking member 12 of the connector 9, and the female member 10 is fitted into the mounting hole 8 from one side of the cover 3. Then, the hook male member 11 is inserted from the other side of the cover 3.
Is fitted into the mounting hole 8 and the hook female member 10, and the cover 3 is sandwiched between the male and female members 10 and 11 from both sides, so that the connecting tool 9 is attached to the end of the cover 3.

According to the second embodiment, since the band member 7 can be attached without performing the caulking operation, the manufacturing cost of the card assembly 1 can be reduced.

Further, since the hook male and female members 10 and 11 constituting the connecting member 9 are thin, the card 2 is hardly damaged by the connecting member 9, and the commercial value can be enhanced in this respect.

Further, if the male and female members 10 and 11 have a detachable fitting structure, the band member 7 can be replaced with another band member 7 colored in an original color or pattern. Purchase motivation can be further improved. Note that the band member 7 can be replaced by the mounting method of the first embodiment.

In each of the above embodiments, the band member 7 is attached to the end located at the upper part of the neck of the dog design on the cover 3, but may be attached to the end located at the lower part of the neck.

Further, the band member 7 may be attached to the backing paper 4 (upper or lower part of the neck),
As shown in FIG. 6, the band member 7 may be separated from the cover 3 and the backing sheet 4 without being attached thereto, and the band member 7 may be simply wound around the neck of the dog of the card assembly 1.

In these cases, since the mounting portion of the band member 7 does not appear on the front surface side of the card assembly 1, it is more effective to improve the design of the card assembly 1.

The symbols forming the outline of the card 2 are as follows:
In addition to animals other than dogs, those imitating dolls, manga characters, flowers, etc. can be employed, and the band member 7 can be regarded as a body ring, waist belt, or the like in addition to a collar.

Further, the band member 7 can give meaning not only to the outline of the card 2 but also to the design printed on the cover 3 or the mount 4 or the other side thereof.

In the above embodiment, only the band member 7 is a design component of the card assembly 1. However, the connecting ring 6 may be a design component of the card assembly 1.

For example, although not shown, when the outline shape of the card 2 is a pattern of a human face, if the connecting ring 6 is arranged at the ear portion of the pattern, the connecting ring 6 can be connected. It can be regarded as a pierced earring, whereby the design value of the card assembly 1 can be increased.

[0051]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the band member can be used to improve the design of the card assembly, the desire to purchase the card assembly can be increased.

Further, according to the present invention, since the attaching work of the band member is simpler than the conventional one, the manufacturing cost of the card assembly can be reduced.
