2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a continuous form 1R having the structure shown in FIG.
It is practiced to create concealed crimp postcards and crimp mail forms. That is, taking a pressure-bonded postcard as an example, this continuous form 1R has a name field 2 and two information fields 3 and 4 arranged side by side in the width direction, and crease lines 5 formed of perforations are formed at the boundaries of each of them, and on both sides thereof. Margins 7 and 8 having a large number of feed holes 6 are arranged, and in order to separate the continuous form into individual forms 1 forming each pressure-bonded postcard, perforations 10 are formed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction. And a normal pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to the back surfaces of the address field 2 and the information field 3 and a weak pressure-sensitive adhesive having weak adhesive force is applied to the surfaces of the information fields 3 and 4. While pulling out the continuous form 1R, it is folded in three by using the crease lines 5, then the margins 7 and 8 on both sides are removed, and the perforations 10 are used to separate into individual forms, and then the form is pressed. By doing so, I feel the address column 2 and the information column 3 Firmly glued, also the information column 3 and the information field 4 and releasably adhered in Yowakan adhesives, have created a concealed type pressure-bonded postcard.

In order to create such a crimp mail form or a crimp postcard, a "crimp mail form making device" has been used. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the crimp mail form creating apparatus. FIG. 6A is a perspective view of the apparatus, and FIG. 6B is an external view from the side.
In FIG. 6, 1R is a continuous form, which is a form in which predetermined items are printed. As for the print content, in general, different address information is printed in each address column, and different information is also printed in each information column. The continuous form 1R placed at the paper feed position is folded into three along the two fold lines formed in the longitudinal direction by the folding unit of the paper feed unit 21, and the pin tractor 25 of the pin tractor 25 is inserted into the feed hole 6 of the margin. Engage the pin and pull it out. After removing the margin parts 7 and 8 at both ends by the slitter means 33, a process of cutting the individual forms 1 by the burster part 27 and press-bonding by the sealing device 30 to create a press-bonded mail form is performed.

[0004]

By the way, in recent years, FIG.
An IC memory medium having a non-contact communication function called a non-contact IC tag or an RFID tag as shown in the figure has come to be used for a mail form. Further, a form with a magnetic card or an IC card has come to be used for sending cards. Since the non-contact IC tags and cards that are the additions to these mail forms have a certain thickness, handling them in the same way as conventional mail forms consisting of paper sheets and pressure-sensitive adhesive will damage them. It causes the problem of being lost.

The contactless IC tag-attached mail form will be described. As shown in FIG. 4A, the continuous mail form is composed of unit mail forms 1 connected in the length direction. It has an address column 2, an information column 3, a reply postcard 17, and a display tag 11 having a non-contact IC tag 16, and each form has a sealing portion 12 and a sealing portion 13 and an opening perforation 14. I have more. The display tag 11 having the contactless IC tag 16 can be used as an information recording portion of a membership card or an admission card, and information about a person who has brought the membership card or admission card with the contactless IC tag 16 is recorded. There is.

FIG. 4B shows a folded state, in which the address field 2 having the sealing portion 13 is the envelope top sheet, and the part having the reply postcard 17 and the non-contact IC tag 16 is folded as the envelope center sheet. , The information column 3 is shown as the envelope bottom sheet. After that, the mail form 1 crimped by the sealing device is mailed to each destination, the application contents are written in the reply postcard 17 and returned.
The display tag having the non-contact IC tag 16 is used by the applicant to bring it to the venue.

This non-contact IC tag or RFID is provided with an IC chip 161 and an antenna coil 162 on a base material to form a resonance circuit and has a function of communicating with an external reader / writer in a non-contact manner. The IC chip itself is 0.2-0.
Since it has a thickness of about 5 mm, when the pressure roller receives a strong pressure, the chip and the antenna are inevitably damaged and the function is impaired. Similarly, a card often attached to a mail form has a thickness of 0.76 mm in the case of a credit card or a bank card, and has a thickness of 0.1 mm even in the case of a PET card. Although the card is temporarily attached to the foam by a temporary adhesive layer or the like, it is unavoidable that the card is damaged when a strong pressure is applied by the sealing device.

In the conventional sealing device of the crimping mail form making apparatus, as shown in FIG. 6, when the crimping mail form passes through the gap between the pair of rollers, the pressure sensitive adhesive coated on the mail form is formed. On the other hand, strong pressure is applied to bond them. In this conventional type, the pressure roller is designed such that a metal roller applies pressure to the entire sheet.
This structure can be used for the entire surface such as pressure-bonded postcards, or for mail forms without attachments, but it is possible to attach cards and non-contact IC tags, etc. like recent mail forms. However, there is a problem in that if some kind of processing is performed, unevenness and wrinkles are generated on the paper, or the pasting work is damaged as described above.

Therefore, in the present invention, the pressure roller is not used to apply pressure to the entire surface of the paper, but a pressure roller in which a small diameter portion is provided in one of the upper and lower rollers (the roller is partially recessed) is used. Thus, only the glue parts on the left and right sides or the top and bottom sides of the pressure-bonded mail form are bonded to prevent damage to the work piece added to the mail form and wrinkles on the uneven parts of the paper.

[0010]

The first of the gist of the present invention for solving the above problems is to fold a continuous body of a crimp mail form with a work piece added thereto and cut it into unit foams to perform a crimp sealing process. A method for forming a crimped mail form by applying the first crimped mail form, which has a recessed portion having a small diameter so as not to damage the added workpiece when sealing the crimped mail form after folding and cutting in the flow direction. After passing through the pressure roller and pressure-bonding, the advancing direction of the mail form after pressure-bonding is changed by about 90 degrees, and the second pressure roller having a recessed portion with a similarly small diameter is also passed through the mail form. There is a method for making a crimp mail form, which is characterized by applying a seal on the top and bottom of the.

The second aspect of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is to fold a continuous body of the crimping mail form to which a workpiece is added, cut it into units, and perform crimping and sealing processing to produce a crimping mail form. The first sealing device for crimping the added workpiece so as not to damage it, and after the sealing by the first sealing device, proceeded in a direction substantially orthogonal to the traveling direction before sealing. In the crimping mail form making apparatus provided with the second sealing device for sealing the top and bottom parts of the mail form in the same manner so as not to damage the added workpiece, in the first and second sealing devices, It is composed of two pressure rollers facing each other in parallel, and one of the two pressure rollers does not damage the added workpiece. Crimping mail form creation device characterized by having a concave working portion which is smaller in diameter that over it, in.

A third aspect of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is an apparatus for folding a cut sheet for pressure-bonding mail form to which a workpiece is added and performing a pressure-bonding seal process to create a pressure-bonding mail form. A first sealing device for crimping the added workpiece so as not to damage it;
After sealing with the sealing device, the mail form is designed to move in a direction substantially orthogonal to the direction before it is sealed. In a pressure-bonding mail form creating apparatus provided with two sealing devices, the first and second sealing devices are composed of two pressure rollers that face each other in parallel, and one of the two pressure rollers A pressure roller mail forming apparatus, wherein the pressure roller of the book has a recessed portion having a small diameter through which an added workpiece can pass without being damaged.

[0014]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. There are continuous paper and cut paper in the pressure-bonding mail form depending on the printer that outputs them, and the mail form creating apparatus also has different forms depending on each paper, but first, the case of continuous paper will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a pressure-bonding mail form producing apparatus of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a pressure roller or a sealing apparatus. In FIG. 1, up to the first sealing device is the same as the conventional device shown in FIG. 6, so the description will be made with reference to this drawing as well. Therefore, the reference numerals include those in FIG.

The mail form creating apparatus of the present invention will be described below including the creating method. 1 or 6,
Reference numeral 21 denotes a folding machine portion, which is a portion for feeding out the continuous body of pressure-bonded mail foam and folding it in three. The form is guided by a plurality of rollers 22 and guides 24,
The form is pulled out by the pin tractor 25.
It is similar to the conventional device. The margin portions 7 and 8 of the foam are removed by the slitter means 33. A burster unit 27 is a device for cutting the folded mail form into unit forms. As is well known, due to a slight difference in rotational peripheral speed between the two front and rear sets of feed rollers, stress is applied to the perforations provided between the unit foams, and the cutting member 9 is cut along the perforation lines. The continuous foam can be easily cut along the perforations by contacting with.

In FIG. 1, the mail form 1 cut into units is then sealed by an adhesive previously coated on the mail form by passing between upper and lower pressure rollers of the first sealing device 31. To be done. As shown in FIG. 2, the sealing device 31 of the present invention includes two rollers 311 and 312 facing each other in parallel, and any one of the two rollers is not damaged by the added workpiece. Thus, the small diameter portion 311s is provided. The position of the small-diameter portion 311s is preferably provided at a position that can be commonly used for various types of foams. Small diameter part 31
1s can be formed by making a concave on a metal roller using a lathe.

The roller is not limited to metal, but may be hard synthetic rubber or the like. The diameter of the roller is preferably about 20 to 80 mm. The small diameter portion 311s is related to the thickness of the workpiece, but it is sufficient if the diameter difference from the large diameter portion is about 0.2 to 2.0 mm. The configuration of this sealing device is almost the same for both the first and second sealing devices, but when the sealing portion is limited to a slight width, the width of the pressing portion of the roller is set to a narrow ring shape. On the contrary, when a wide crimping width is required such as a crimping postcard, it is necessary to make the pressing area as wide as possible. In FIG. 1, the roller 31 having the small diameter portion 311s of the first pressure roller
Reference numeral 1 corresponds to the upper roller, and the second pressure roller also corresponds to the upper roller 321, but there is no particular difference between the roller having the small diameter portion and the upper or lower roller. .

At the back of the first sealing device 31, there is provided a conveying section 39 which advances in a direction orthogonal to the advancing direction of the foam before sealing. The foam that has passed through the first sealing device 31 is guided to the second sealing device 32 with its path changed to an inverted “L” shape by this transport unit. The transport unit can be a rotating belt or a rotating roller. Since the seal portion of the foam needs to enter the pressure rollers 321 and 322 at right angles to each other, it is preferable that the transport portion 42 be provided with an aligning device that aligns the foam in a certain direction and at a constant interval. The second sealing device 32 can seal the top and bottom sealing portions 12 of the mail form 1 (FIG. 4). The mail form 1 after processing is a stacker 60
Is discharged to.

When the mail form to be supplied is cut paper, the space between the folding machine 21 and the burster section 27 replaces the folding machine for cut paper, and other configurations are the same as in the case of continuous paper. The invention according to claim 3 of the present invention corresponds to a pressure-bonding mail form creating apparatus for cut sheets.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a folding machine for cut sheets. There are various examples of the folding machine for cut sheets, and for example, the device shown in FIG. 3 can be used by connecting it in front of the first sealing device. In the cut sheet folding machine 40, the cut form 1P is conveyed by a feeder,
It is pushed between the first and second rolls 42, 43 into the first folding buckle 44. The leading end of the form 1P pushed into the first folding buckle 44 comes into contact with the first stopper 45 arranged at a pre-adjusted position in the first folding buckle, and by this contact, the form 1P is contacted. 1P is bent at the perforations, and the portion bent by the folds is gripped between the second roll 43 and the third roll 46 that is in contact with the second roll to make the first fold. In this state, the fold is pushed into the second folding buckle 47, with the fold being the tip.

The form 1P pushed into the second folding buckle 47 is bent at the perforation part in the middle by contacting the first stopper with the second stopper 48 in the second folding buckle 47. The bent portion is the third
It is gripped between the roll 46 and the fourth roll 49 circumscribing the third roll 46 to make a second fold, and the second fold is used as the tip to pass from the inside of the second folding buckle 47 through the transport port 50, It is sent out in three-fold. Here, the first to fourth rolls 42, 43, 46, 49 are
The induction motor 51 is driven through the belt 52 at the same speed in a predetermined rotation direction.

In the present invention, the "workpiece" means that a certain workpiece is fixed at a substantially fixed position of the mail form, and can be considered to be in a pasted or temporarily attached state. . It suffices if it is at a substantially fixed position, and it may be an enclosure such as a form that is put in a fixed position at a fixed position in the mail form creating process.

In the above description of the present invention, the crimp mail form has been described as an example, but it is also possible to easily perform a simple replacement of a term such as a crimp postcard or a crimp envelope form which is similarly prepared. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be applied to, and belongs to the equivalent scope of the present invention.
