Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a card holder that holds an identification card in a separable and integrated manner, and more particularly to a card holder that holds an identification sticker separately from the identification card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a card holder capable of separating and integrally holding an identification card. For example,
At rental stores such as compact discs and video tapes, if you issue a card holder that can separate and integrally hold multiple membership cards to the members, not only the members but their families can carry their membership cards. It is convenient and convenient. In addition, after the rental store issues a card holder to a customer (potential member), if the customer separately performs membership registration using the application form, the customer will copy the membership number attached to the membership card onto the application form. It was necessary, and it was not only annoying, but there was a risk of a transcription error.

In view of these points, utility model registration No. 3
No. 073860 keeps multiple membership cards with the same membership number separable and integrated,
A card holder has been proposed in which a sticker with the member number is attached to one member card in advance. With such a card holder, the customer can remove the sticker from the membership card and attach it to the application form,
It is simple and there is no risk of making a mistake in copying the membership number.

[0004]

However, such a conventional card holder still has room for improvement. First of all, it is difficult to mechanize sticking a predetermined sticker to a predetermined position of a predetermined card holder. Manufacturing cost is high. Secondly, there is a possibility that the member numbers of the member card and the seal do not match with each other due to an operation error during the manufacturing of the card holder, which is related to the manual labor of the manufacturing. Third, when the customer peels the seal from the membership card, the seal may be damaged. Generally, the membership card is relatively hard because it is made of plastic or laminated to ensure durability, and there is a risk of failure when peeling off the sticker attached to the rigid membership card.

The present invention has been made in view of such technical problems, and an object thereof is to provide a high-quality and easy-to-use card holder which suppresses the manufacturing cost.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a card holder main body for holding an identification card in a separable (and integral) manner and a peeling sheet for holding an identification stick in a peelable manner are integrally formed. The identification card is attached with a card identifier, and the identification sticker is attached with a sticker identifier.

Here, the card identifier and the sticker identifier may be associated with each other. For example, the same identifier is attached to the card identifier and the sticker identifier, the card identifier has a larger amount of information than the sticker identifier (individual information is included in addition to the common information), the sticker Examples of the identifier include those having a larger amount of information than the card identifier (including individual information in addition to common information).

Further, the release sheet may be made more flexible than the card holder body. With this configuration, the identification seal can be easily peeled off from the release sheet. Here, in order to make the release sheet more flexible than the card holder body, for example, the release sheet is made thinner than the card holder body, and the release sheet is made of a material softer than the card holder body. It is possible to adopt a method such as configuring.

As one method for integrally forming the card holder body and the release sheet, the card holder body has a multi-layer structure, and the card holder body and the release sheet are It can be integrally configured by an adhesive seal that is attached across the intermediate layer of the card holder body and the surface of the release sheet. For example, the card holder body is a first transparent film layer, a card substrate layer,
In the case of having a second transparent film layer, the card holder body and the release sheet are integrated by an adhesive seal that is attached across the card base material layer of the card holder body and the surface of the release sheet. Can be configured as desired. With this configuration, the card holder main body and the release sheet can be bonded more reliably.

On the other hand, as another method for integrally forming the card holder main body and the release sheet, the card holder main body and the release sheet straddle the surface of the card holder main body and the surface of the release sheet. It can also be integrally configured by an adhesive sticker attached at. With this configuration, the card holder body and the release sheet can be more easily bonded.

The identification seal and the adhesive seal may be present separately on the release sheet,
It may be integrally present on the release sheet.

Further, the card holder body may hold a single identification card, or may hold a plurality of identification cards. Since the card holder main body holds a plurality of identification cards, a plurality of identification cards can be issued at the same time. For example, when the identification card is a membership card, the membership card can be issued simultaneously to the main member himself / herself and the family members. Here, the plurality of identification cards may have the same size or different sizes. For example, when the identification card is a membership card, a large card can be used as a main member (or regular member) card and a small card can be used as a family member (or associate member) card.

Further, card IDs associated with each other may be attached to the plurality of identification cards.
For example, the plurality of identification cards to which the same card identifier is attached, or the plurality of identification cards,
Some of them have different card identifiers. For example, in the case where the identification card is a membership card, if the identifier attached to the main member (or regular member) card and the identifier attached to the family member (or associate member) card are made different, in providing services to members It is also possible to make a difference in terms of use between the primary member (or regular member) and the family member (or associate member).

The release sheet may hold a single identification seal, or may hold a plurality of identification seals. Seal identifiers associated with each other are attached to the plurality of identification stickers. For example,
The plurality of identification seals may be given the same seal identifier, or the plurality of identification stickers may be given different seal identifiers.

A card holder body identifier is provided in the non-identification card area of the card holder body, and a release sheet identifier is provided in the non-identification sticker area of the release sheet, and the card holder body identifier and the release sheet are provided. The identifier may be a card holder associated with each other. For example, the card holder identifier and the release sheet identifier may have the same identifier, or the card holder identifier and the release sheet identifier may have different identifiers.

Here, the card holder identifier can have a smaller amount of information than the card identifier, and similarly, the release sheet identifier can have a smaller amount of information than the sticker identifier. By configuring the card holder in this way, it is possible to more reliably prevent a mistake (mismatch) in connecting the card holder body and the release sheet during manufacture of the car holder.

As an efficient method of manufacturing such a card holder, one card holder main body continuous body and one release sheet continuous body are integrally formed into one card holder continuous body, and It is possible to obtain a plurality of card holders by punching the card holder continuous body. Then, by providing the same card holder main body identifier and the release sheet identifier to the card holder obtained from the same card holder continuum, the consistency check may be performed for each continuum (not for each card holder), It is possible to more reliably prevent a mistake (mismatch) when connecting the card holder body and the release sheet during the manufacture of the car holder.

The card identifier, the sticker identifier,
As the card holder body identifier and the release sheet identifier, one or more types can be selected from a character string, a number string, a symbol string, and a barcode. When the card holder body has a first transparent film layer, a card base material layer, and a second transparent film layer, the card identifier is a character string or a number printed on the card base material layer. It can be selected from a string, a symbol string or a barcode.
