Description

  The present invention is intended for compact paper media such as leaflets, maps / guidebooks, manuals, flyers, notebooks, etc., and is composed of a single continuous sheet of paper that can be turned in multiple directions by turning pages up, down, left, and right. The present invention relates to a booklet that can be referred to without interruption and that can be mass-produced, and a manufacturing method thereof.

Conventionally, for this type of booklet, for example, the folding documents, the manufacturing method, and the design technique of Patent Documents 1 and 2 and Non-Patent Document 1 created by the present inventor have already been submitted. (In the present specification, the folded document is read as a booklet. Further, paper of paper media is a so-called paper, and is a generic term for a flat sheet that is thin and has little extension, such as a synthetic paper or a sheet.)
This is to divide an appropriate original drawing as a booklet into rows that will be an even number of strip-shaped horizontal regions by orthogonal row-direction grid lines and column-direction grid lines, and columns that will be an arbitrary number of strip-shaped vertical regions. A plurality of segmented minimum pages are formed, and the row-direction grid lines are alternately valley-folded and mountain-folded from the top except for the outermost row-direction grid lines that are contour lines, and the column-direction grid lines are , Except for the outermost column-direction grid line that is the outline and the column-direction grid line on the outermost row, reversible folds / slits are formed alternately, and the column-direction grid line on the outermost row is reversibly folded. The column-direction lattice lines on the extension of the slits are valley-folded, and the column-direction lattice lines on the extension of the slits are mountain-folded, and are bound to form a plurality of row-direction valley folds.
In particular, in the spread state, the spread is composed of four pages, top, bottom, left, and right (FIG. 10 of Patent Document 1). Access to the top, bottom, left, and right is as if turning pages in the same direction as a normal book. It is configured to be good.

Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-188425 No. 3114825 Koryo Miura, “Design of portable paper maps enabling longitudinal access”, XXII International Cartographic Congress, 11-16 Jul 2005, ISBN-0958-493.

  Patent Document 1 comprehensively shows the structure of the booklet and the concept of the manufacturing method. Moreover, each process which comprises a manufacturing method can be changed flexibly, and can respond to various situations. However, in the process of subsequent development, new problems in the structure and manufacturing method suitable for the manufacturing method using automatic machines were recognized. That is, this type of booklet is in high demand for high-speed production patterns that are usually manufactured in large quantities in a short time. At the same time, high-speed production has the effect of dramatically reducing costs. Therefore, it was recognized that the true practical application of this concept depends on high-speed production technology.

  The biggest obstacle in the high-speed production of this booklet is the presence of slits (FIG. 1). Since the slit is indispensable for the structure of this booklet, it cannot be avoided. When slits are processed in paper at a certain stage of the manufacturing process, the paper loses the property of being a continuum in two orthogonal directions. In other words, the resistance in the direction perpendicular to the slit is almost lost, and there is a high possibility that wrinkles, curvature, overlap, etc. occur due to a slight external force. This makes it very difficult to handle paper in subsequent processing. Therefore, there is a need for a booklet structure and method for manufacturing the booklet that solves this problem.

  The present invention is to provide a booklet that solves the above-described problems and a method for manufacturing the same.

  In the present invention, a booklet that can be applied to high-speed production and a method for manufacturing the same are created by solving the problems as described above.

  Therefore, in the booklet according to claim 1, in order to define the position and shape at first in the rectangular paper used as the booklet, the front side of the paper surface is A side and the back side is B surface, which is parallel to the two sides of the rectangle. , Orthogonal row grid lines m (m0, m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6) and column grid lines n (n0, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6,...), And their intersections. (M, n) is defined, the intervals m1 to m2, m2 to m3 of the row grid lines are equal, and similarly m3 to m4, m4 to m5 are equal, and the folding line is described with reference to the A plane. The perforations are provided between (m1, n2) and (m5, n2) of column grid line n2 and between (m1, n4) and (m5, n4) of n4, and the same rule is applied after n6. M1, m5 are valley folds, m2, m4 are mountain folds, and folds of m1, m5 are B Joined at m3 with glue margin sandwiching m3 to form a planar structure centered on m3, with the planar structure as a reference from the A-plane m3 side, n1, n3, n5 corresponding parts are valley-folded, n2, n4 compatible A booklet with a shape that was folded into a folding screen by mountain folding was adopted.

  Further, in the booklet manufacturing method according to claim 2, in order to define the position and shape at first in the rectangular paper used as the booklet, the front side of the paper is the A side and the back side is the B side. Parallel to and orthogonal to row grid lines m (m0, m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6) and column grid lines n (n0, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6,...), Are defined, the intervals m1 to m2, m2 to m3 of the row grid lines are equal, and similarly m3 to m4, m4 to m5 are equal, and the folding line is based on the A plane. The processing in the column direction is described as the processing between the (m1, n2) and (m5, n2) of the column grid line n2 and between the (m1, n4) and (m5, n4) of n4. , N6 and the following rules are based on the same rule, and the row grid lines m1, m5 are used as the processing in the row direction. Valley folds, m2 and m4 are mountain folds, and m1 and m5 creases are joined by glue margins sandwiching m3 on B surface m3. By these processes, a planar structure centered on m3 is formed. A method for manufacturing a booklet characterized in that the n1, n3, and n5 corresponding portions are valley-folded and the n2 and n4 corresponding portions are folded in a folding screen shape by mountain fold processing with the A-plane m3 side as a reference.

  In the booklet structure according to claim 1, a perforation is adopted instead of the conventional slit. The final product is one step before use, but the user can easily convert it into a slit when the user breaks the perforation, so that the booklet functions are completely fulfilled.

  According to the booklet manufacturing method of the second aspect, the perforation is adopted instead of the slit, so that the paper maintains an appropriate level of strength and rigidity as a continuous body even after the perforation is processed. Therefore, the paper handling problem does not occur in subsequent processing by an automatic machine. As a result, the design of an automatic machine for the purpose of high-speed production can be constructed by using the technology currently distributed. The use of perforations is a very simple change, but it has had a tremendous effect. Therefore, the possibility of high-speed production of this booklet has been opened.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on illustrated examples.

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the booklet of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In view of the difficulty of explaining the structure of a booklet made of paper at once with a normal drawing, the booklet in the state of use is presented first, and then the explanation is made in the form of the base paper, almost in line with each processing step. Do. This does not necessarily indicate the order of the steps.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a spread in a use state by breaking the perforation of the booklet of the present invention. The spread constitutes 4 pages by the folds 16 intersecting each other. The lateral fold line 16 is bound by a binding 19, which enables turning pages in the vertical direction. The page turning in the left-right direction is performed by folding screen folding by repeating the folds 15 and 16 in the vertical direction.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a target rectangular sheet (print content is omitted). The front side is A side and the back side is B side.
For the A plane, orthogonal row grid lines m (m0, m1, m2, m3, m4, m5, m6) and column grid lines n (n0, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6,...) Their intersection (m, n) is defined (lattice lines are indicated by dotted lines as necessary, and leader lines are also indicated if necessary). These definitions are the same even if the paper is rotated 90 degrees. The number of column grid lines is arbitrary. In the example shown in the figure, for the sake of simplicity, the intervals between the row grid lines and the column grid lines are all drawn equally. The necessary condition is that the intervals m1 to m2, m2 to m3 of the row grid lines are equal, and similarly m3 to m4, m4 to m5 are equal. There is no particular condition for the interval between the column grid lines, but it corresponds to the width of a normal booklet page. A proposal for changing the row and column spacing at the outer edge to bring about a special effect is described in the aforementioned Patent Document 2.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a processing position of the perforation 17. It is two places between (m1, n2) and (m5, n2) of the column grid line n2 and between (m1, n4) and (m5, n4) of n4.
FIG. 4 shows the folding process, FIG. 4-1 is a plan view, and FIG. 4-2 is a right side view. Assuming that the fold line is defined with respect to the A plane, m1 and m5 are processed into valley folds 16 and m2 and m4 are processed into mountain folds 15. In the plan view, the B side can be seen. The side views of FIGS. 4, 5, 6, and 7 are exaggerated for the sake of understanding, and may be displaced from the corresponding plan views.
FIG. 5 shows an application position of the glue 18, FIG. 5-1 is a plan view, and FIG. 5-2 is a right side view. In this case, as shown in the drawing, the position sandwiching m3 on the B surface is the place where the paste is applied. Of course, application to the opposite faces to be joined is not hindered.

FIGS. 6A and 6B show a state where the faces are joined from the state of FIG. 5, FIG. 6A is a plan view, and FIG. 6B is a right side view. This shows a planar structure centered on m3 formed by joining the folds 15 of m1 and m5 to m3 on the B surface. This m3 is the page binding 19 in the vertical direction in FIG. Note that the inner surface of the bag is the B surface. In addition, it is desirable to process the valley fold 16 or embossing in m3 with or before and after the joining process. This is effective for turning the upper and lower pages.
FIG. 7 is a plan view in which the plane structure of FIG. 6 is turned over so that the A-plane m3 side is on the front, FIG. 7-1 is a plan view, and FIG. 7-2 is a right side view. This shows the position of the next folding process with reference to the A-plane m3 side. The n1, n3, and n5 corresponding portions are folded into valleys, and the n2, n4 corresponding portions are folded into a mountain fold. It should be noted that the perforations 17 have already been constructed in the portions that have become the n2 and n4 bags.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the structure of the booklet of the present invention completed by the processing specified in FIG. 7, partially opened. Note that the perforation line 17 is different from the line type in the plan view for the purpose of expression.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the booklet of the present invention shown in FIG. 8 that has been broken into perforations 17 and converted into slits 20 for use. Finally, returning to FIG. 1 again, the structure of the booklet of the present invention can be understood in use. That is, it is the result that a booklet exactly the same as the “folded document” described in Patent Document 1 was manufactured without a slit in the processing step.
FIG. 10 shows the line types used to display the paper product in the drawing.

  Explain that there are virtually no slits in the booklet (in use). First, as shown in FIG. 9, it can be seen that the crack shape at the end of the slit 20 is completely fixed by the binding 19. Moreover, due to the special structure of this booklet, the portion corresponding to the slit is no longer the internal structure but the outer edge of the page, and eventually the slit is effectively extinguished. Therefore, the strength problem regarding this point is solved.

Note that the specific configuration of the booklet of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated one, and can be set and changed as appropriate. For example, the attachment of a cover, the pasting of pages in a bag state, a complete booklet with the back side joined, a strategy for displaying pages on the top, bottom, left and right, an increase in the number of pages, and the like.
Further, the booklet manufacturing method of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated ones and the like, and can be freely set and changed as appropriate. For example, the order and combination of the steps can be set as appropriate according to the situation.

It is a perspective view which shows the spread of a use state by breaking the perforation of the booklet of the present invention. It is a top view which shows the surface (A surface) of the rectangular paper used as object. It is a top view which shows the processing position of a perforation. FIG. 4A is a plan view and FIG. 4B is a right side view showing a folding position. FIG. 5A is a plan view and FIG. 5B is a right side view showing the paste application position. FIG. 6A is a plan view, and FIG. 5B is a right side view showing a joined state from the state of FIG. FIG. 7A is a plan view and FIG. 7B is a right side view of the structure of FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the structure of the booklet of this invention manufactured by the process to FIG. It is the perspective view of what made the booklet of this invention shown by FIG. Indicates the line type used to display the paper processing.
