Description

  The present invention relates to an album formed by binding a plurality of sheets on which a print image paper such as a photograph is attached using an adhesive.

  An album in which a plurality of mounts are combined is known in which an adhesive layer for attaching print image paper (printing paper) such as a photograph is attached to the surface of each mount.

In many cases of commercially available albums, a transparent protective film is disposed on the adhesive layer (see Patent Document 1). The user first peels off the protective film, places the printed image paper of the photograph prepared by himself on the exposed adhesive layer, and then puts the protective film on the printed image paper and the adhesive layer. The image paper is kept stable. In this case, there is an adhesive layer around the print image paper, and it is necessary that the adhesive layer and the protective film adhere to each other.
Japanese Patent No. 3670756 JP-A-10-71778

  In the configuration of the above-described prior art, a blank portion for adhesion is required around the print image paper, and thus the entire album cannot be configured as a photo album without borders. In particular, when two photographs are arranged on two pages so as to form a continuous panoramic photograph, if there is a blank portion for adhesion along the book edge, the sense of unity of the two photographs is impaired.

  By the way, it can be considered that a print image paper is placed so as to cover the entire adhesive layer and a protective film is not used (see Patent Document 2). In this case, when the album is sold, a separator (release paper) is disposed so as to cover the adhesive layer, and the user peels off the separator, and the printed image paper of the photograph prepared by the user is disposed on the exposed adhesive layer. . In this case, it is not necessary to arrange an adhesive layer around the print image paper. However, in the structure disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the board that is a thick paper is folded and the folded portion is used as a book portion, when the album is opened, two adjacent sheets sandwiching the book portion of the spread page are used. A gap of considerable width must be formed between the photos.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides an album in which the gap between print image papers such as two adjacent photographs sandwiching the register area is minimized when the album is opened. For the purpose.

  In order to achieve the above object, an album according to the present invention is an album in which a plurality of mounts on which print image paper is pasted are bound, and each of the mounts is a hydrophilic flat cardboard and at least one of them. A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer attached to the surface, and a separator film disposed so as to cover the whole pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the separator film being completely removable from the cardboard for each page of the cardboard, and having a thickness of 150 Or a flexible and hydrophobic film having a thickness of 300 μm.

  According to the album according to the present invention, when the album is opened, the gap between two adjacent pictures sandwiching the registration area can be made extremely small. Moreover, when the album is opened or when the separator is further removed, the integrity of the album can be maintained, and when the album is opened, the two spread pages can be kept flat. In addition, since the thickness of the album does not change much between when the album is manufactured and sold and when the user attaches print image paper to the album, the shape of the entire album can be kept beautiful.

  Embodiments of an album according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the album according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. FIG.

  In the album 1, a plurality of (for example, 10) mounts 2 are overlapped, and the albums 1 are booked on one side (book edge) 3. The mount 2 is made of a flat rectangular hydrophilic cardboard. The shape and size of the mount 2 are substantially the same as the shape and size of the print image paper (printing paper) 7 to be attached thereto.

  Adhesive layers 4 are attached to both sides of each mount 2. A region where the adhesive layer 4 is not formed, that is, a non-adhesive portion 6 is formed along the book edge 3 of the mount 2. For example, the adhesive layer 4 is preferably an acrylic adhesive or an acrylic emulsion adhesive.

  A separator film 5 is attached so as to cover almost the entire surface of the mount 2. The separator film 5 covers at least the entire adhesive layer 4 and further covers at least a part of the non-adhesive portion 6. The separator film 5 is flexible and hydrophobic and is flat. The separator film 5 is preferably made of, for example, polyethylene, polyethylene vinyl acetate, an acrylic nonwoven fabric, or a styrene nonwoven fabric. For example, when the user who purchased this album peels the separator film 5, the adhesive layer 4 remains on the surface of the mount 2, and a photo print image paper 7 can be pasted on the adhesive layer 4. The thickness of the separator film 5 is about the same as the thickness of the print image paper, and is preferably about the same as the thickness of a normal print image paper of 150 to 300 μm. However, it is also possible to use a separator film 5 having a special specification adapted to a print image paper having a special thickness.

  The book binding edge 3 of the mount 2 is bonded to the back-stiffening material 9 with a water-soluble paste material 8, and the back-stiffening material 9 is used to register each other. The back-stiffening material 9 is preferably a thin, flexible and hydrophilic material such as a cloth such as nylon tricot, charcoal, and cotton fiber, or craft paper. At the time of registration, the adhesive layer 4 is previously attached to the backing sheet 2 and the separator film 5 is laminated on top of the adhesive layer 4. At this time, the glue 8 adheres the backing 2 and the back-stiffening material 9 because the glue 8 is water-soluble, the backing 2 is hydrophilic, the separator film 5 is hydrophobic, and the back-stiffening 9 is hydrophilic. Moreover, the separator film 5 is not adhered. As a result, the separator film 5 can be peeled off after the glue material 8 is dried and bonded, and the backing sheet 2 and the back-stiffening material 9 are not separated at that time.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the positions of the leading edge of the separator film 5, the leading edge of the backing sheet 2, and the leading edge of the adhesive layer 4 coincide with each other on the opposite side of the book-binding edge 3. Since it is such a structure, the thing of the state before registration can be easily manufactured by shearing the front-end | tip part of the state which adhered the adhesive layer 4 to the surface of the mount 2, and stuck the separator film 5 on it. .

  For example, a cover 10 made of thick paper that is difficult to bend is attached to the outside of the ten sheets 2 of the mounts 2 stacked.

  When the user attaches the print image paper 7 to the album 1, first, the separator film 5 of the page to which the print image paper 7 is attached is peeled off to expose the adhesive layer 4. Next, the print image paper 7 and the adhesive layer 4 are joined by placing the print image paper 7 on the adhesive layer 4. Since the separator film 5 and the print image paper 7 are approximately equal in size and thickness, when the print image paper 7 is pasted on each page of the album 1, the separator film 5 shown in FIGS. 7 is replaced.

  According to the above-described embodiment, when the album is opened, the interval between the book edges 3 of the adjacent mounts 2 with the book portion interposed therebetween is extremely small, which is only the thickness of the back-stiffening material 9 and the glue material 2. In addition, a print image paper 7 having the same size as the mount 2 can be pasted on the mount 2. Further, when the album is opened, the two spread pages can be flattened. Therefore, two photos can be pasted on the two-page spread of this album to make it look like a continuous panoramic photo.

  Further, in this embodiment, the thickness of the album is almost the same between when the album is manufactured and sold, and when the user uses the print image paper on the album, so when the print image paper is pasted. You can continue to use it comfortably without losing the shape of the entire album.

  Further, since the water-soluble glue material 8 bonds the backing sheet 2 and the back-stiffening material 9 and does not adhere the separator film 5, the separator film 5 can be easily peeled off while maintaining the integrity of the album. Can do. Further, a non-adhesive part 6 is formed along the book edge 3 of the mount 2, and the end of the separator film 5 is positioned on the non-adhesive part 6, so that the separator film 5 in that part is easily pinched and pulled. be able to.

  In addition, since the shape and size of the mount 2 and the print image paper 7 are matched, it is possible to avoid exposing the adhesive layer 4 attached to the mount 2 in a state where the print image paper 7 is attached.

  The embodiment described above is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the above embodiment, the adhesive layer is attached to both sides of the mount and the separator film is attached. However, the adhesive layer and the separator film may be arranged only on one side of the mount.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the front-end | tip of the separator film 5, the front-end | tip of the mount 2, and the front-end | tip of the adhesion layer 4 corresponded in the edge | side on the opposite side to the bookbinding edge | side 3. It is not a requirement that the tips match. For example, if the front end of the adhesive layer is retracted, a non-adhesive part is also formed at the front end part, and it becomes easy to separate the separator film from that part.

It is a perspective view which shows the open state of embodiment of the album which concerns on this invention. It is the II-II arrow partial expanded sectional view of FIG. FIG. 3 is a partial enlarged sectional view taken along the line III-III in FIG. 1.
