It is AA 'sectional drawing shown to). FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a stacked state of the voice message transmission sheet 1 shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sheet-like audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 capable of recording and reproducing audio information has flexibility such as a paper base material and is made of a thin base material. The supporting sheets 20a and 20b sandwiched between the two supporting sheets 20a and 20b and the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 have the same outer shape as the supporting sheets 20a and 20b. It is configured to be sandwiched between two top sheets 10a and 10b made of a thin base material having flexibility such as a material. The top sheets 10a and 10b, the support sheets 20a and 20b, and the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 are bonded to each other by an adhesive process applied to the front and back of the support sheets 20a and 20b. This pressure-sensitive adhesive processing can be performed by applying a double-sided tape on the front and back of the support sheets 20a and 20b, applying a hot-melt adhesive, or the like.

  The audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 includes a piezo element 41, a diaphragm 42, and a film sheet, which will be described later. The audio information output unit 40 outputs audio information recorded and configured in a sheet shape. A thin IC chip 34 which is a voice information recording means to be recorded and a thin switch 33 which is an operation means for operating voice information recorded on the IC chip 34 when outputting from the voice information output unit 40 are mounted. Audio board 32, and a paper battery 31 connected to the audio board 32 and having flexibility for supplying power to the audio board 32. A connection terminal 35 for inputting audio information to the IC chip 34 is provided. Thereby, the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 is configured in a sheet shape. Here, in the audio board 32, an anisotropic conductive adhesive (ACP) is attached to a flexible and thin board made of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyimide, lead frame, or the like. ), Anisotropic conductive film (ACF), wire bonding, or the like.

  Further, in the support sheet 20a, holes 21a, 22, 23, and 23 are formed in regions facing the paper battery 31, the switch 33, the IC chip 34, and the audio information output unit 40 when stacked with the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30. 24a is formed, and the support sheet 20b has holes 21b and 24b in areas facing the paper battery 31 and the audio information output unit 40 when stacked with the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30. Is formed.

  In this manner, holes 21a, 22, 23, and 24a are formed in regions of the support sheet 20a facing the paper battery 31, the switch 33, the IC chip 34, and the audio information output unit 40, respectively. Holes 21b and 24b are formed in regions facing the paper battery 31 and the audio information output unit 40, respectively, so that the paper battery 31, the switch 33, the IC chip 34, and the audio information output unit 40 are provided. The difference in thickness between the surface sheets 10a and 10b is improved, and the flatness of the surface sheets 10a and 10b is improved, so that information can be easily printed on the surface sheets 10a and 10b. Furthermore, the surface sheets 10a and 10b can be made almost equal by making the total thickness of the support sheets 20a and 20b equal or thicker than the thickness of the thickest part of the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30. It can be in a flat state. In this case, the audio substrate 32 is fixed by sandwiching a thin portion of the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30, for example, the audio substrate 32 between the support sheets 20a and 20b. In addition, since the paper battery 31 portion is in a state of being connected to the audio board 32, it does not have to be sandwiched between the support sheets 20a and 20b. In addition, since the surface sheets 10a and 10b are attached to the support sheets 20a and 20b, even if the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 has irregularities, even if the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 is depressed, If there is no pressing force such as the above, a flat state can be maintained, and printing is also possible.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the support sheets 20a and 20b and the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are stacked, and FIG. 3A shows the support sheet 20a and the audio information recording / reproducing unit. 30 is a diagram illustrating a state in which 30 is stacked, and FIG. 9B is a diagram illustrating a state in which the support sheet 20b and the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 are stacked.

  As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the hole 21a formed in the region facing the paper battery 31 of the support sheet 20a is smaller than the paper battery 31, and the hole 22 formed in the region facing the switch 33 is A hole 23 formed in a region larger than the switch 33 and opposed to the IC chip 34 is larger than the IC chip 34, and a hole 24a formed in a region opposed to the audio information output unit 40 is output as audio information. It is larger than the portion 40.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 3B, the hole 21b formed in the region facing the paper battery 31 of the support sheet 20b is smaller than the paper battery 31 and formed in the region facing the audio information output unit 40. The hole 24b is smaller than the audio information output unit 40.

  As a result, the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 is laminated so that only part of the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 is sandwiched from the front and back by the two support sheets 20a and 20b, and is fixed by the adhesive processing applied to the front and back of the support sheets 20a and 20b. ing.

  The voice message transmission sheet 1 is mailed on the surface sheet 10a on the side facing the switch 33 and the IC chip 34 through the holes 22 and 23 of the support sheet 20a out of the two surface sheets 10a and 10b. In this case, an information display area 2 for printing destination information and the like is provided, and a reproduction button 3 for operating the switch 33 is printed in an area facing the switch 33 through the hole 22 of the support sheet 20a. In addition, in a region facing the audio information output unit 40 through the hole 24a of the support sheet 20a, audio in which fine holes for outputting the audio output from the audio information output unit 40 to the outside are arranged. An output region 4 is formed. Since the audio output region 4 in which the fine holes are arranged in this way is formed, even if the audio information output unit 40 is covered with the front sheets 10a and 10b, the audio information output unit 40 Can compensate for the decrease in volume output from the. In the audio output area 4, for example, holes with a diameter of 0.1 mm are formed at intervals of 1.5 mm in length and width by laser processing. Therefore, burrs are not generated as compared with the case where holes are formed by punching or needles, and the burrs do not block the holes thereafter. In FIG. 1, the information display area 2 is not provided on the audio output area 4. However, in reality, the information including the playback button 3 is printed on the entire surface sheet 10 a, so that the information display area is displayed. It is also conceivable that the area 2 is provided on the audio output area 4. It is also conceivable that the reproduction button 3 is not provided on the top sheet 10a by printing, but is provided by sticking a seal in a region facing the switch 33 after information is printed on the top sheet 10a.

  Here, in the voice message transmission sheet 1 configured as described above, only a part of the voice information recording / reproducing unit 30 is sandwiched from the front and back by the two support sheets 20a and 20b as described above. The supporting sheets 20a and 20b are fixed by adhesive processing applied to the front and back surfaces of the supporting sheets 20a and 20b. The supporting sheets 20a and 20b are attached to the paper battery 31, the switch 33, and the IC chip 34 of the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30. Since the holes 21a, 21b, 22, 23, 24a, 24b are respectively formed in the area facing the audio information output unit 40, when the support sheets 20a, 20b and the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 are stacked, Alignment between the holes 21a, 22, 23, 24a formed in the support sheet 20a and the holes 21b, 24b formed in the support sheet 20b It is necessary to perform accurately.

  Therefore, the support sheets 20a and 20b are composed of a single sheet, and the two support sheets 20a and 20b are configured by folding the single sheet, thereby forming the support sheet 20a. It is conceivable to accurately align the holes 21a, 22, 23, 24a and the holes 21b, 24b formed in the support sheet 20b.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing an example of the case where the two support sheets 20a and 20b shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are formed from one sheet, (a) is a view showing the configuration, and (b). These are figures which show the state at the time of folding via the folding line 25 shown to (a).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the two support sheets 20 a and 20 b shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are connected to each other via a fold line 25 that has been subjected to half-cut processing or the like. Audio information recording is performed by folding the support sheets 20a and 20b through the fold line 25 so that the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 is sandwiched between the support sheets 20a and 20b, and adhesive processing applied to both surfaces of the support sheets 20a and 20b. / The playback unit 30 is fixed. As a result, alignment between the holes 21a, 22, 23, and 24a formed in the support sheet 20a and the holes 21b and 24b formed in the support sheet 20b is accurately performed.

  Below, the structure of the audio | voice information output part 40 is demonstrated in detail.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the voice information output unit 40 shown in FIG. 1, and is a cross-sectional view around the voice information output unit 40 of the voice message transmission sheet 1 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the audio information output unit 40 according to the present embodiment has flexibility, a piezoelectric element 41 that outputs audio information recorded on the IC chip 34, and has flexibility. The film sheet 43 is affixed to one surface, and the diaphragm 42 is affixed to the film sheet 43 and has flexibility and is made of styrene paper or the like for amplifying the vibration of the piezo element 41. Here, the diameter of the film sheet 43 is configured to be larger than the diameter of the piezo element 41, so that when the piezo element 41 is attached to the film sheet 43, the surface of the film sheet 43 to which the piezo element 41 is attached is arranged. The area exposed without the piezo element 41 being adhered remains around the piezo element 41. The diaphragm 42 has a hole having a diameter larger than the diameter of the piezo element 41 and smaller than the diameter of the film sheet 43, whereby the piezo element 41 of the film sheet 43 is stuck. The diaphragm 42 can be attached only to the film sheet 43 so that the piezo element 41 enters the hole with respect to the surface. And this diaphragm 42 is adhere | attached with the support sheet 20b by the adhesion process given to both surfaces of the support sheet 20b only in the area | region where the film sheet 43 is not affixed among the surfaces where the film sheet 43 was affixed. Yes. Thereby, the thickness of the area where the audio information output unit 40 is provided is not increased, and the audio information output unit 40 is fixed without being bonded to the topsheets 10a and 10b. The vibrations of the piezo element 41 and the diaphragm 42 are not hindered. In addition, by making the size of the diaphragm 42, for example, the length of one side is 2.8 times the diameter of the piezo element 41, the maximum volume effect of the audio information output from the piezo element 41 can be obtained. it can. The voice information output unit 40 configured in this way can also function as a microphone for inputting voice information. In this case, the voice information is input to the voice board 32 via the voice information output unit 40. It is necessary to provide a switch (not shown) for inputting. As the piezo element 41, for example, it is conceivable to use a PZT-PMN-based (lead zirconate titanate + lead magnesium oxide) material having a diameter of 27 mm and a thickness of 0.16 mm.

  Hereinafter, the structure around the switch 33 will be described in detail.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view around the switch 33 of the voice message transmission sheet 1 shown in FIG.

  The switch 33 shown in FIG. 1 has flexibility. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, in the support sheets 20 a and 20 b in the area where the switch 33 is mounted, the hole 22 is formed in the area where only the support sheet 20 a faces the switch 33. The sound board 32 is sandwiched and fixed by the two support sheets 20a and 20b, while the sound board 32 is placed on the one support sheet 20b in the area where the switch 33 of the sound board 32 is mounted. It has the structure which was mounted and was fixed by the adhesive process given to both surfaces of the support sheet 20b. Here, if the height of the switch 33 is lower than the thickness of the support sheet 20a, the switch 33 is surrounded by the support sheet 20a thicker than the height of the switch 33. It is avoided that the switch 33 is operated when force majeure is applied from the outside. As a result, when the voice message transmission sheet passes through an address sorting device (postal sorting machine) by postal code, for example, the playback button 3 is pressed while being conveyed, and the paper battery 31 is wasted. It can be avoided that the information is consumed or the audio information recorded on the IC chip 34 is overwritten and deleted.

  Below, the recording method of the audio | voice information with respect to the audio | voice message transmission sheet | seat 1 mentioned above is demonstrated.

  As described above, it is conceivable to record audio information on the IC chip 34 via the audio information output unit 40. In this case, noise is mixed in the audio information, and the sound quality recorded on the IC chip 34 is reduced. It will deteriorate significantly. Therefore, by connecting the connection terminal 35 provided on the audio board 32 to an audio input source and recording the audio information on the IC chip 34 via the connection terminal 35, the audio information is not mixed. Can be recorded on the IC chip 34. At this time, if the paper battery 31 is not connected to the sound board 32 and power is supplied to the sound board 32 from the outside via the connection terminal 35, the paper battery 31 is recorded when the sound information is recorded on the IC chip 34. Is no longer exhausted.

  In the voice message transmission sheet 1 described above, it is conceivable to use it as a postcard as a postcard size, or to use it as a business card or message card with voice as a card size.
