Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a postcard having a detachable card portion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a postcard having a size equivalent to two postcards is folded in half and joined as a postal matter, and the joined surface is detachably adhered so that once it is detached, it cannot be adhered again. Is widespread. Since the size of the sheet is equivalent to two postcards, the amount of information that can be described is larger than that of one postcard. Further, since the joining surface of the sheet is not exposed to others' eyes until it is peeled off, it is convenient in terms of privacy protection.

[0003] A device utilizing a postcard having such characteristics is disclosed in Utility Model Registration No. 3037602. As shown in FIG. 6, the postcard is provided with a card unit 30 used as a lottery ticket, a membership card, an event invitation ticket, or the like, in a portion for describing an address such as an address and a name. That is, the above-mentioned postcard is formed by folding a sheet 32 of the size of two postcards in half, peeling and adhering to each other, and forming a card portion by surrounding the perimeter of the destination description site with a perforated cut line 31 like a perforation. On the back side of the part, the fact that it is a lottery ticket or a membership card is displayed.

[0004] In the postcard, the recipient peels off the adhered sheet 32 and separates the card portion 30 from the surroundings at the planned cutting line 31 around the card portion 30, so that the card portion 30 becomes a lottery ticket or a membership card. And so on. Therefore, the recipient of the postcard can carry the card portion 30 having a compact size in a regular case without carrying a large postcard. Further, as a sender of the postcard, it is possible to save the trouble of putting a lottery ticket or a membership card or the like in which an address or name is described in an envelope and mailing it.

[0005]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned postcard, since the sheets 32 each having the size of two postcards are folded in half and joined, and the card portion 30 is provided in the portion where the destination is described, the planned cutting line If the card portion 30 separated from the card 31 is only one sheet thickness of the sheet 32 and the durability of the card portion 30 is inferior, and the recipient carries the card portion 30 in a regular case, etc., There is a problem that it becomes wrinkled or damaged immediately.

[0006] In the case of a thin piece such as a lottery ticket or a membership card, a postcard obtained by folding the sheet 32 can be used, but high-density information such as an IC card or a memory card can be used. Because the recorded card is thick,
It is difficult to form the sheet 32 using a postcard that is folded into two.

To solve this problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-114 discloses an envelope capable of mailing a card having a thick recording medium.
No. 92. In the envelope, as shown in FIG. 7, a card portion 35 surrounded by a planned cutting line 37 is formed at a destination description portion of the envelope.
A card 36 having a recording medium such as a C card is joined thereto. In the envelope, the card 36 having a thick recording medium can be mailed.

However, in the above-mentioned envelope, an envelope having a card portion 35 surrounded by an intended cutting line 37 at a destination writing portion and a card 36 having a recording medium are separately manufactured.
Before mailing, the card 36 must be stuck to the back of the card portion 35 of the envelope. Thus, there is a problem that it takes more time and effort than simply sending the card 36 in an envelope, and the cost is increased accordingly. In addition, since mail is sent in an envelope, the postage is higher than that of a postcard. In particular, the mailing cost when mailing a large amount is a problem. As described above, many problems remain in terms of cost as compared with the case of a postcard.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has as its object to provide a postcard capable of mailing a thick card at a low cost with high durability of a separated card.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, a postcard according to the present invention comprises a first sheet, a second sheet and a third sheet.
A sheet, wherein the first sheet and the second sheet are integrally laminated, and a detachable card portion surrounded by a cut line is provided in the laminate, and on one surface of the laminate,
The gist is that the third sheet is detachably adhered.

That is, the postcard of the present invention has a first sheet, a second sheet, and a third sheet, and the first sheet and the second sheet are integrally laminated, and a cut line is formed on the laminated body. An enclosed detachable card portion is provided, and a third sheet is peelably adhered to one surface of the laminate. For this reason, the card part cut off from the cut-off line is such that the first sheet and the second sheet are integrally laminated, and it is difficult for the card part to be wrinkled or damaged even when being carried in a regular case. Extremely durable. When the card unit is a thick card such as an IC card or a memory card, an IC card is provided between the first sheet and the second sheet.
Or a recording medium such as a memory. In this way, a relatively thick card portion can be easily formed on a postcard, and can be mailed together with the postcard.
Therefore, unlike a conventional envelope, there is no need to separately manufacture a card having a recording medium and affix it to the back of the card portion, thereby reducing the cost. Also, since mail can be sent by postcard instead of an envelope, the mailing cost can be greatly reduced.

In the postcard according to the present invention, when an IC chip is present between the first sheet and the second sheet of the card section, the separated card section can be used as an IC card capable of recording high-density information. It can be used as a memory card or the like and can be used for various purposes, which is convenient. In addition, since the IC chip is present between the first sheet and the second sheet, the IC chip is less likely to be damaged during mailing or when the card section is used while being separated.

In the postcard according to the present invention, when an IC chip laminated with a resin sheet is present between the first sheet and the second sheet of the card section, the post card is mailed or cut off. Even if water droplets are accidentally attached while carrying the card portion, the IC chip provided between the first sheet and the second sheet is protected by the resin sheet and is not easily affected by the water droplets. . In addition, it is more resistant to damage from power. In addition, the card portion itself is reinforced with the resin sheet, and the durability is further improved.

In the postcard of the present invention, the IC chip comprises:
In the case where the card portion is adhered to the backing, the card portion is reinforced by the backing, and becomes more tough, and the durability is improved. Also, the IC chip is less likely to be deformed even when an external force is applied due to the abutment of the mount, thereby preventing damage.

In the postcard according to the present invention, when the cut line is formed by intermittent cuts, the third sheet is in close contact with one surface of the laminate until the third sheet is peeled off, Once the third sheet is peeled off without easily separating the card portion, the card portion can be easily separated from the cut.

In the postcard according to the present invention, if the card portion is provided in a portion other than the address writing portion of the postcard, the address of the postcard is not described in the card portion itself. This is advantageous in that the amount of information that can be described in the document can be increased, and that security can be maintained when the card section is separated from the postcard and is carried.

In the postcard according to the present invention, when the first sheet, the second sheet, and the third sheet are continuous at the side portions of each sheet, one sheet having a size of three postcards is alternated. By folding the first sheet, the first sheet, the second sheet, and the third sheet can be formed, and the productivity is extremely improved.

In the postcard of the present invention, when the IC chip has a storage device, it can record a large amount of information, and can be used for various purposes such as a prepaid card and a game card. it can.

In the postcard of the present invention, when the IC chip has an arithmetic processing unit and a storage device, the card unit itself has a large storage capacity and a data processing function, and the contents of the program are provided. With this, it can be flexibly applied to various uses and has high confidentiality. Therefore, it can be used for various purposes such as a bank card, a resident card, an entrance / exit ID card, a credit card, and a prepaid card.

In the postcard of the present invention, if a resin sheet having the same size as the first and second sheets is present between the first and second sheets, the postcard itself becomes tough. In addition, the durability is improved, and the durability of the separated card portion is also improved. .

In the postcard according to the present invention, when the card portion is provided in the address writing portion of the postcard, when the card portion is separated and used as a membership card or the like, the card portion is written in the address writing portion of the postcard. Since the address is reflected on the card as it is, it is convenient to save the trouble of writing the name and the like on the card again.

In the postcard according to the present invention, when the card portion is formed to be substantially the same size as a telephone card, it is easy to store it in a regular wallet, a wallet or the like, and it is convenient to carry.

In the postcard of the present invention, the cut line is
In the case of a continuous cut, the third sheet is in close contact with one surface of the laminate until the third sheet is peeled off, and the card portion is not easily separated, and the card portion is separated. By simply peeling off the third sheet, the card portion is cut off from the cut, and the separating operation becomes easy. In addition, there is no leftover or the like on the periphery of the separated card portion, and the card is processed neatly.
