TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an album,
In particular, the present invention relates to a technique for increasing the spread angle of a Western-style album provided with a backing part in which a plurality of backing sheets folded at the center are adhered to each other.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an album for a marriage photograph or an adult photograph, the center portion of a mount having a length of two pages is folded, a plurality of the folded mounts are overlapped, and the overlapping surfaces are pasted together. 2. Description of the Related Art A Western-style album in which a plurality of pages of a backing part are worn to form a book is known. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are views showing an example of a conventional Western book album.
Is a front view showing a state where the album is closed, and FIG. 4 is a front view showing a state where the album is opened. The book album 100 shown in these figures has a front cover 101 and a back cover 102.
And the back plate 1 connecting these covers 101 and 102
03, and the cover 105
Mount 1 stored between the two covers 101 and 102
06.

[0003] The mount portion 106 is formed by stacking a plurality of mounts 107,... Folded at the center, in the same direction, and superposing the outer surfaces, and bonding the superposed surfaces together. In other words, the inner side of one mount 107 constituting the mount 106 corresponds to two pages of the album 100. The mount unit 106 is mounted on the mount unit 1.
06 is covered by the cover portion 105 so that the back side 106a of the cover portion 106 and the back surface side of the back plate 103 of the cover portion 105 face each other.
1 and the back cover 102 are attached to the back side.

The front cover 101 and the back cover 102
The grooves 101a and 102a are provided at positions about 5 to 10 mm away from the connection portion with the back plate 103. Thereby, when the album 100 is opened as shown in FIG. 4, the front cover 101 and the back cover 102 are bent at the positions of the grooves 101a and 102a, so that the cover portion 105 is greatly opened. Thus, in the album 100, the spread angle of the mount 106 can be increased to some extent.

[0005]

By the way, the Western-style album 100 having the above-described structure is provided with the grooves 1 on the covers 101 and 102.
At the positions of 01a and 102a, the covers 101 and 102 are opened so as to be folded. As shown in FIGS.

When the operation in the opening direction of the mount 102 is performed, the bent portions 107a and 107 of the mount 107 arranged on the outermost surface of the mount 106 are formed.
Since the distances b move closer to each other, the back side portion 106a of the mount 106 necessarily curves upward. Therefore, when the opening angle of the cover 105 is 1
Even if it is opened until it approaches 80 degrees, the spread angle of the mount 107 becomes smaller than 180 degrees. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, even if a target page is opened, if the backing of the page is not pressed, the backing 107 is lifted upward in the drawing, and there is a problem that usability is deteriorated. If an excessive load is applied when opening the mount 107, the album 100 itself may be damaged. In particular, when the number of mounts 107 constituting the mount section 106 is large, the thickness of the mount section 106 becomes large, and these problems are remarkable. Therefore, an album with a wide spread angle and improved usability is desired. Was rare.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has as its object to provide an inexpensive album in which the spread angle is increased and the usability of a photo pasting operation is improved. And

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following constitution. In the album of the present invention, a cover is formed by stacking a plurality of sheets, integrally forming a backing part at one side edge thereof, and having a front sheet, a back sheet, and a back sheet for covering the backing part. , The spread angle of the mount is 180 degrees or more.

In the present invention, the "spread angle" indicates an angle formed between adjacent pages opened by the operation of opening an album. In the album having the conventional structure shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the spread angle of the mount is less than 180 degrees as described above, and when the album is opened, the mount naturally moves in the closing direction. The editing work such as pasting was hindered. On the other hand, in the album of the present invention, the spread angle of the sheets constituting the mount is 1 unit.
Since the angle is set to 80 degrees or more, in the state where the album is opened, the sheet of the opened page has a shape that is flush with the flat surface or the facing surface. Therefore, the sheet in the opened state does not close naturally and is kept as it is, so that usability at the time of work such as pasting a photograph is remarkably improved. Further, in addition to the above, the album of the present invention has an effect that the operation of opening the album can open the sheet extremely smoothly.

Next, in the album of the present invention, a backing sheet is formed by stacking a plurality of sheets and integrally formed at one side edge thereof, and a front sheet and a back sheet for covering the backing sheet. An album having a cover portion having a back sheet and a back sheet, at least one edge of the integrated portion of the backing portion is connected to the cover portion at a connection portion between the front sheet and the back sheet of the cover portion. A flexible connection cover is provided between the integrated portion of the backing portion and the back sheet of the cover portion.

In the album of the present invention, the mount is connected to the cover in a cantilever manner. That is, one side edge of the integrated portion of the mount is connected to the cover at a connection between the front sheet and the back sheet of the cover. Therefore, the integrated part of the mount part can be freely separated from the back sheet of the cover part. Therefore, when opening the album, the spread angle of the front sheet and the spread angle of the sheet of the backing part are not limited by the sheet adhered to the front sheet, and any page can be spread 180 degrees or more. . Further, by providing the connection cover, it is possible to protect the integrated portion of the backing portion which is fixed to the back sheet so that it can be freely separated. This connection cover is also effective in designing an album.

[0011] Next, in the album of the present invention, the backing portion is formed by laminating a plurality of backing papers folded at the center portion and sticking them together on the superposed surface. Is preferred. With such a configuration, it is possible to configure a Western-style album in which the spread angle is 180 degrees or more.

The connection cover is fixed to the back sheet at a connection portion with the sheet, and the connection cover is formed to have the same length as the integrated portion of the mount portion, and covers the side surface of the integrated portion and the back surface side of the back sheet. It is preferable that it is formed as follows. With such a configuration, an effect of protecting the integrated portion of the mount portion and the back surface side of the back sheet with the connection cover can be obtained, and the connection portion between the mount portion and the cover portion can be protected. . Further, in the conventional structure, the integrated portion of the backing portion and the back surface of the back sheet, which were not visible to the user, can be covered and hidden by the connection cover, so that the album design is not impaired. Thus, the spread angle can be improved.

Next, in the album of the present invention, it is preferable that the connection cover has a width that allows the album to be opened to 180 degrees or more. That is, the width of the connection cover limits the distance between the back sheet and the integrated portion of the mount that can be separated from the back sheet. Therefore, the width of the connection cover is limited to 18 albums.
In order to be able to be opened at 0 degrees or more, at least a connection portion between the back sheet and the back sheet of the cover portion in a state where all the sheets constituting the backing portion are moved to the front sheet side. It is sufficient if the length is longer than or equal to the distance from the position where the connection cover is fixed in the integrated portion of the mount. More preferably, the width is a combination of the width of the integrated portion of the mount and the width of the back sheet.

Next, in the album of the present invention, it is preferable that the connection cover is made of at least one material selected from synthetic leather, vinyl leather, cloth, and paper. The above-mentioned material is easy to be colored and processed into an arbitrary shape, and is also easy to adhere to a backing sheet (sheet) or a cover sheet (front sheet). can do. Also, the above material is

By hiding the inner side of the album, the design of the album is not damaged. Note that the connection cover 8 does not necessarily need to be formed so as to cover the entire inner surface side of the back portion 6a and the back plate 4, but may be formed so as to cover a part of these members. For example, the back 6a and the back cover 2
And one or a plurality of ribbon-shaped connection covers provided in the longitudinal direction of the back plate 4.

In the album 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the connection width of the connection cover 8 (the width of the portion provided between the mount 6 and the back cover 2) is the same as that of the back 6a of the mount 6, Although the width is arranged along the inner surface side of the back plate 4, the function of the connection cover 8 is not impaired even if the width is made larger than this width. Also, this connection cover 8 is shown in FIGS.
It can be shorter than shown in FIG. If the width of the connection cover 8 is too narrow, a load may be applied to the connection between the connection cover 8 and the backing sheet 6 or the connection between the connection cover 8 and the back cover 2 when the back cover 2 is opened. This is not preferable because the album may be damaged. Therefore, it is necessary that the connection cover 8 should have a width such that a load is not applied to the connection cover 8 and the members at both ends of the connection cover 8 when at least the back cover 2 is opened. However, this connection cover 8
Is not limited to this, and may be made narrower than the above-described width if there is no risk of breakage.

As a material forming the connection cover 8, any material having flexibility such as synthetic leather, vinyl leather, cloth, rubber, resin film, paper, etc. can be used without any problem. , Vinyl leather, fabric and paper are particularly preferred. This is because these materials are easily colored, easily processed into an arbitrary shape, and have sufficient strength. Also, according to these materials, the connection cover 8 having an arbitrary color, shape, or the like according to the design of the album can be easily and inexpensively manufactured.

FIG. 2 is a front view in a state where the album 10 shown in FIG. 1 is opened. As shown in this figure, when the album 10 is opened, the angle of the spread surface (spread angle) θ of the opened mount 7c is opened to 180 degrees or more. This is because, as described above, the outer surface on one side of the mount portion 6 is stuck to the cover 1 over the entire surface and is fixed to the cantilever, and the outer surface on the other side is not fixed. That is, in the album 10 of the present embodiment, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the back portion 106a of the mount 106 does not bend upward in a direction protruding upward, as shown in FIG.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the one end side of the connection cover 8 is sandwiched between the backing sheet 7a constituting the last page and the backing sheet 7b adjacent to the backing sheet 7a and fixed by bonding is described. However, the position at which one end of the connection cover 8 is fixed to the mount 6 can be any position within the range of the back 6 a of the mount 6. For example, the other end of the connection cover 8 may be bonded and fixed to the back side of the adjacent mounts 7, 7 at the center in the thickness direction of the mount 6. Alternatively, one end of the connection cover 8 can be bonded and fixed to the back side of the outer surface of the mount 6.

Alternatively, a protective sheet made of thin paper or a resin film may be adhered to the back 6a of the mount 6 for the purpose of protecting the back 6a of the mount 6. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the backing 6a from being damaged and the backing paper 7 from being torn, or the bonding surfaces of the backing papers 7 from being separated from each other.

Further, when the above-mentioned protective sheet is used, a protective sheet having a width twice the thickness of the back part 6a is prepared, and one end of this protective sheet is adhered to the back part 6a, and the protective sheet protruding from the back part 6a is provided. The other end of the sheet may be bonded to the back surface of the back plate 3. With such a configuration, the mount portion 6 is cantilevered without adhering one of the outer surfaces of the mount portion 6 to the back surface side of the cover 1.
Can be fixed. Also, a similar effect is
The connection cover 8 shown in FIG. 1 can also be obtained by a configuration in which the connection cover 8 is adhered to the back 6 a of the mount 6 and the back of the back plate 3.

In the above embodiment, a part of one end of the connection cover 8 is sandwiched and adhered between the back cover 2 and the back paper 9, but the back paper 9 is not used. The connection cover 8 may be configured to have a size corresponding to the back side of the back cover 2, and the connection cover 8 may be attached to the back side of the back cover 2.
