Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the reproducing of voice recording of display contents for a person having no knowledge of braille by providing a seal base material with data codes of the voice recording corresponding to the contents of braille display. SOLUTION: The seal base material 1 consisting of a colorless transparent plastic film is transparent and is consequently visible through on the rear surface from the front surface side. The braille formed by subjecting the three- dimensional ink consisting of a colorless transparent UV curing resin to a curing treatment after printing is used for the built-up braille display 2 formed on the front surface of the seal base material 1. Two-dimensional codes 7 as the data codes of the voice recording are attached to the portions of the front surface of the seal base material 1 where there is not braille display 2 by means, such as printing or sticking. The two-dimensional codes 7 are capable of executing recording to a larger capacity at a higher density as compared with conventional bar codes, allows the short voice recording as well and can be mechanically read from all directions of 360 deg. and, therefore, there is no need for changing the direction at the time of reading in particular.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a Braille seal,
In particular, the present invention relates to a Braille sticker capable of reproducing display contents as audio recording.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a Braille sticker in which a raised Braille display is provided on the front surface and an adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied on the back surface is known. Many people who manufacture, sell, or paste these Braille stickers do not have enough knowledge of Braille to understand the displayed contents, so they may be mistaken or pasted during manufacturing, sales, or distribution. There has been a problem that it is sometimes easy to mistake the display location or the contents to be pasted and the Braille contents.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a Braille sticker capable of reproducing a voice recording of a display content for a person who does not have knowledge of Braille. Is to do.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided, in accordance with the present invention, a Braille sticker in which a sound recording data code corresponding to the content of Braille display is provided on a seal base material.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a sealing base made of a colorless and transparent plastic film, and the sealing base 1 is transparent so that the back side can be seen from the front side.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a raised braille display formed on the surface of the seal base material 1. The braille display 2 is preferably formed by printing and curing a three-dimensional ink containing a colorless and transparent ultraviolet curable resin as a component. Can be The reason for this is that curing by ultraviolet irradiation is excellent, so mass production is excellent, there is less risk of thermal deformation of the sealing base material 1 than in the case of heating and curing, and volatile components such as fragrances and antibacterial agents are easily compounded. In this embodiment, an antimicrobial agent is contained.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to the back surface of the seal substrate 1. The pressure-sensitive adhesive 3 is a transparent material similar to the seal substrate 1. Is temporarily attached on a mount 4 described later.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a backing sheet. The backing sheet 4 has a release agent layer 5 made of silicone or the like formed on the surface thereof. Is temporarily attached on the mount 4. On the other hand, since the back surface of the mount 4 remains on the normal paper surface, a normal display 6 described later can be printed.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a normal display printed on the back side of the backing paper 4. The normal display 6 not only displays the meaning of the Braille display 2 as it is, but also simplifies the meaning,
Some of them are displayed in normal characters, illustrations and figures,
This is a concept that includes marks and the like.

For example, the content of the Braille display 2 is "cook in hot water of Kitsune Udon 330CC for 3 minutes (with soup)". Since it is enough to know that it is "Kitune Udon" (of instant food), it is simply displayed as "Kitune Udon". Here, it is preferable that the normal display 6 be displayed in such a manner that the Braille characters 2 are aligned in the vertical direction.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a two-dimensional code as a data code for voice recording, and the two-dimensional code 7 is attached to a portion of the surface of the seal base material 1 where the Braille display 2 is not provided by means such as printing or pasting.

The two-dimensional code 7 is capable of high-density and large-capacity recording, is capable of short voice recording, and is machine-readable from all directions at 360 degrees, as compared with a conventional one-dimensional code (for example, a bar code). Because it is possible, there is no need to change the direction when reading.

The present embodiment is as described above, and the person who pastes the braille sticker has the object to be pasted on the basis of the "fox UDON" of the normal display 6 printed on the back of the backing paper 4. The sticking operation can be performed without making any mistake in the vertical direction of the seal.

After the Braille seal is applied, the seal substrate 1 and the adhesive 3 are transparent, so that they are inconspicuous to ordinary persons.
Even if it is pasted on the normal display, the normal display and design below can be seen through, so that it does not affect the design and general display, and the special pasting space can be omitted.

Since the two-dimensional code 7 for voice recording is provided, even a person without knowledge of Braille can reproduce the display content of the Braille display 2 as voice information simply by using a reading machine.

Furthermore, since the Braille display 2 is made of a three-dimensional ink containing a UV-curable resin as a component, it is excellent in mass productivity, and when cured, the thermal deformation of the seal substrate 1 is reduced. It is hygienic because it is possible to prevent pathogens and the like from being transmitted by contact of fingers through the device.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where a two-dimensional code is used as the data code has been exemplified. Alternatively, a one-dimensional bar code may be used. Instead of recording it in the storage device of the reading machine.

Although the case where a three-dimensional ink made of an ultraviolet curable resin is used to form a Braille display has been described, a three-dimensional ink made of a thermosetting resin may be used.
Further, the braille seal may be opaque instead of transparent.

[0019]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, by reading the data code of the voice record attached to the Braille sticker and reading it with a machine, even those who have no special knowledge of Braille can read the contents of the Braille display. Can be reproduced as information.
