Description

  The present invention relates to a voice message transmission sheet capable of outputting recorded voice information, and more particularly to a technique for improving surface flatness.

  Conventionally, in the case of sending items such as direct mail and greeting cards, the sending source creates the sending item and designates the destination of the sending item, and then the specified sending item is specified. It has been sent first. Shipments that are created and sent out in this way consist of a printed material that contains information to be sent from the shipper to the shipper in an envelope, information that you want to send to the shipper from postcards, etc. There are some which are printed on the sheet.

  At the delivery address of the delivery, after the received delivery is received, the information printed on the delivery is browsed, so that the information to be notified at the sender of the delivery is recognized. Become.

  However, in this way, a delivery that is printed with information to be notified to the delivery destination at the delivery source of the delivery is sent from the delivery source, and the information printed on the delivery sent at the delivery destination of the delivery is In the case where the information to be notified at the shipping source is transmitted to the shipping destination by browsing, the desired message at the shipping source can only be transmitted to the shipping destination visually. As a result, the types of information that can be transmitted are limited.

  Thus, a voice message card configured to record / reproduce voice information is disclosed in Patent Document 1.

  5A and 5B are diagrams showing a configuration example of a conventional voice message card. FIG. 5A is a diagram showing an internal structure, and FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A 'shown in FIG.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-290594

  In the voice message card described above, since the voice generating unit for recording / reproducing voice information is sandwiched between card bases, the surface of the voice message card is uneven depending on the thickness of the parts constituting the voice generating unit. Arise. For this reason, for example, in the case of a part having a certain thickness such as a battery, the thickness is greatly different between the area where the part is arranged and its peripheral part. As a result, there is a risk that a large level difference will occur along the line, impairing the appearance, and when the information is printed on the surface by the printer, the level difference part gets caught and a printing defect may occur.

  The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the conventional technology as described above, and can reduce a step generated when a part for recording / reproducing audio information is sandwiched between top sheets. An object of the present invention is to provide a voice message transmission sheet that can be used.

  In the present invention configured as described above, a plurality of parts constituting audio information recording / reproducing means capable of recording and reproducing audio information are fixed by a support sheet, and this support sheet is sandwiched between top sheets. The support sheet and the surface sheet are adhered to each other. Here, depending on the plurality of parts constituting the audio information recording / reproducing means, there is a thick part, but the support sheet has an area around at least some of the plurality of parts. Since it has a step structure that is thicker than other regions of the support sheet, even if a thick part exists, if a step structure is provided around the part, the part is sandwiched The surface from the region to the surrounding region becomes smooth, and the step is reduced.

  In addition, if only the area around the parts constituting the step structure of the support sheet is subjected to non-adhesion processing, the area of the support sheet is not adhered to the surface sheet, and the surface of the surface sheet is further smoothed. Become.

  As described above, in the present invention, the support sheet for fixing a plurality of components constituting the audio information recording / reproducing means capable of recording and reproducing the audio information is at least a part of the plurality of components. Since the area around the part has a step structure that is thicker than other areas of the support sheet, even if a thick part exists, a step structure can be provided around the part. For example, the surface from the region where the component is sandwiched to the region around it becomes gentle, and the step can be reduced.

  The operation of the voice message transmission sheet configured as described above will be described below.

  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. 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 20a and the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 are stacked. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an area where the coin battery 31, the IC substrate 32, and the switch 33 of the voice message transmission sheet shown in FIGS.

  As described above, the support sheet 20b shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a coin battery in a region facing the coin battery 31, the IC substrate 32, the switch 33, and the voice information output unit 40 of the voice information recording / reproducing unit 30. 31, a region facing the IC substrate 32, a region facing the switch 33, and a region facing the audio information output unit 40, the coin battery 31, the IC substrate 32, the switch 33, and the sound. Since one hole 21 having such a size and shape as to contain the information output unit 40 is provided, as shown in FIG. 3A, the support sheet 20b shown in FIGS. When the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 is stacked, the coin battery 31, the IC substrate 32, the switch 33, and the audio information output unit 40 of the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 are provided in the hole 21 of the support sheet 20b. Are arranged so as to enter, it will be fixed. At this time, lead wires 34 a to 34 c connecting the IC substrate 32, the coin battery 31, the switch 33, and the piezo element 41 are also disposed in the hole 21.

  Further, as described above, the support sheet 20a shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is provided in the regions facing the coin battery 31, the IC substrate 32, and the audio information output unit 40 of the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30, respectively. Holes 22 to 24 for fixing the coin battery 31, the IC substrate 32, and the audio information output unit 40 are provided. The size of the hole 22 is larger than that of the coin battery 31, and the hole 23 is It is larger than the IC substrate 32, and the hole 24 is smaller than the audio information output unit 40. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the support sheet 20a and the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are stacked, the coin battery 31 of the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 and The IC substrate 32 is arranged and fixed so as to enter the holes 22 and 23 of the support sheet 20a. Moreover, in the audio | voice information output part 40, it abuts on the support sheet 20a around the hole part 24, and is fixed by the adhesive on the surface of the support sheet 20a.

  When the support sheets 20a and 20b and the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are stacked, as shown in FIG. 4, in the region where the switch 33 is arranged, the support sheet 20a is placed on the support sheet 20a. The switch 33 is mounted, and the switch 33 and the support sheet 20a are sandwiched between the top sheets 10a and 10b. The switch 33 is fixed by the adhesive on the surface of the support sheet 20a and is fixed by the hole 21 of the support sheet 20b. Here, since the thickness of the switch 33 is thinner than the thickness of the support sheet 20b, when the switch 33 is mounted on the support sheet 20a and enters the hole 21 of the support sheet 20b, the support sheet 20b of the support sheet 20a. The height from the sticking surface to the operation surface of the switch 33 is lower than the height from the sticking surface of the support sheet 20a to the support sheet 20b to the sticking surface of the support sheet 20b to the top sheet 10b, Thereby, in the surface of the surface sheet 10b, the area | region where the switch 33 is arrange | positioned will not protrude more than another area | region.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the region where the IC substrate 32 is disposed, the IC substrate 32 enters the holes 23 and 21 formed in the support sheets 20 a and 20 b, respectively, and enters the holes 23 and 21. The IC board 32 is sandwiched between the top sheets 10a and 10b. The IC substrate 32 is fixed by holes 23 and 21 formed in the support sheets 20a and 20b, respectively. Here, since the thickness of the IC substrate 32 is substantially the same as the thickness of the support sheets 20a and 20b adhered to each other, the height of the space formed by the topsheets 10a and 10b and the holes 21 and 23 is determined. The thickness of the IC substrate 32 is substantially the same, so that the region where the IC substrate 32 is disposed does not protrude from the other regions on the surface of the topsheets 10a and 10b.

  In the region where the audio information output unit 40 is disposed, the peripheral edge of the diaphragm 42 of the audio information output unit 40 is attached to the support sheet 20a around the hole 24, and the hole 21 of the support sheet 20b. The audio information output unit 40 is sandwiched between the top sheets 10a and 10b. Here, the thickness of the piezo element 41 constituting the audio information output unit 40 is thinner than that of the support sheet 20b, and the thickness of the diaphragm 42 is substantially the same as that of the support sheet 20b. Therefore, when the periphery of the diaphragm 42 is attached to the support sheet 20a and the audio information output unit 40 enters the hole 21 of the support sheet 20b, the sound is heard from the attachment surface of the support sheet 20a with the support sheet 20b. The height to the surface of the information output unit 40 on the side facing the top sheet 10b is substantially the same as the height from the sticking surface of the support sheet 20a to the support sheet 20b to the sticking surface to the top sheet 10b of the support sheet 20b. As a result, on the surface of the top sheet 10b, the region where the audio information output unit 40 is disposed does not protrude beyond the other regions.

  The lead wires 34a to 34c connecting the IC substrate 32, the coin battery 31, the switch 33, and the piezo element 41 are accommodated in the holes 21 formed in the support sheet 20b. In the region where the lead wires 34a to 34c are accommodated, the hole 21 is formed in the support sheet 20b, but the hole is not formed in the support sheet 20a. Therefore, the lead wires 34a to 34c accommodated in the hole 21 are fixed by the adhesive of the support sheet 20a. Moreover, since the diameter of lead wire 34a-34c is smaller than the thickness of the support sheet 20b, when lead wire 34a-34c is fixed on the support sheet 20a and it has penetrated into the hole 21 of the support sheet 20b, it is a surface sheet. The surface 10b does not rise along the shape of the lead wires 34a to 34c.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the region where the coin battery 31 is disposed, the coin battery 31 enters the holes 22 and 21 formed in the support sheets 20 a and 20 b, respectively, and enters the holes 22 and 21. The coin battery 31 is sandwiched between the top sheets 10a and 10b. The coin battery 31 is fixed by holes 22 and 21 formed in the support sheets 20a and 20b, respectively. The coin battery 31 is thicker than the support sheets 20a and 20b attached to each other. Therefore, the height of the space formed by the top sheets 10a and 10b and the holes 21 and 22 is lower than the thickness of the coin battery 31, whereby the coin battery 31 is disposed on the surface of the top sheet 10b. The projected area protrudes from the other areas. Here, in this embodiment, the release paper 50 remains in the area around the coin battery 31 in the hole portion 21 formed in the support sheet 20b, so that the thickness of the support sheets 20a and 20b in this portion is A step structure is formed that is thicker than the thickness of the other regions of the support sheets 20a, 20b. Therefore, a region having a thickness due to the step structure is interposed between a region where the two support sheets 20a and 20b are stuck and sandwiched between the top sheets 10a and 10b and a region where the coin battery 31 is disposed. Accordingly, the thickness between the region where the two support sheets 20a and 20b are stuck and sandwiched between the top sheets 10a and 10b to the region where the coin battery 31 is disposed is stepwise. It changes and the slope becomes gentle.

  In this way, the thickness between the region where the two support sheets 20a and 20b are stuck and sandwiched between the top sheets 10a and 10b to the region where the coin battery 31 is disposed changes stepwise. By the gentle inclination, the step on the top sheet 10a due to the thickness of the coin battery 31 does not stand out, and when the information is printed on the surface by the printer, the step portion gets caught and a printing defect may occur. Can be reduced.

  Moreover, this level | step difference structure is a thing to which the non-sticking process was given by being comprised by the release paper 50 which remained on the support sheet 20b. Therefore, in this portion, the topsheet 10b is not attached to the support sheet 20b, and the topsheet 10b is not attached to the step structure to form a stepped structure, whereby a step structure is formed on the surface of the topsheet 10b. The level difference due to is not conspicuous, and the surface of the top sheet 10b becomes smoother.

  In this embodiment, a step structure is provided by leaving the release paper 50 around the coin battery 31 in the support sheet 20b. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 is not limited thereto. When a part thicker than the thickness of the support sheets 20a and 20b is used as a part constituting the part, a similar effect can be obtained if a step structure is provided around the part.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the description has been given by taking as an example the case where the audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 is fixed using the two support sheets 20a, 20b, but the present invention is not limited to this, and one or three sheets are supported. The audio information recording / reproducing unit 30 may be fixed using at least one support sheet.
