Description

  The present invention relates to a booklet that is required to be extremely difficult to forge, such as a passport.

  The bookbinding method represented by the passport is a method of binding the stitches along the center line of the collated, flat-stacked facing pages and inner page paper for the body page, and then concealing the back thread In this method, a cover is pasted, a crease with a binding thread as a fold line is made, and the booklet is folded in half so that the cover is on the outside. This structure can be easily opened on any page, and has good flatness on any page, which is convenient when a booklet such as a passport or bank passbook is machine-read and booked.

  The normal bookbinding method for the booklet will be described based on the cross-sectional explanatory diagram of FIG. FIG. 2A shows a state in which the body page paper 22 is flattened (collated) in a predetermined order on the facing page paper 21. In FIG. 2A, the turn-down page paper 21 in the lowermost layer is bonded to the cover sheet in a later step.

  FIG. 2B shows a state in which the yarn is bound by the binding yarn 23 along the center line. Usually, the thread is bound by sewing.

  FIG. 2C shows a state in which the cover 24 is turned and placed under the page paper 21 and the entire surface is bonded with an adhesive. The thread exposed on the lower side of the facing page paper 21 is hidden by the cover. In FIG. 2C, the binding thread 23 is exposed on the uppermost sheet. This page is called a center page in the present invention.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2 (d), a linear crease is made along the binding thread by the press 25. This process is sometimes called streaking.

  FIG. 2 (e) is a diagram showing a state in which the cover is folded in half with the outside and then cut into individual booklets that are partially opened. The sheet 21 and the cover sheet 24 are bonded together.

  Passports have been particularly counterfeit and counterfeit in recent years, and governments are struggling with countermeasures. As one of the forgery methods, there is a method of cutting or unwinding the binding thread of a genuine passport booklet to separate it, replacing the body page or ID page with a counterfeit product, and binding the pages again. This method of counterfeiting can be used for other booklets that are bound and bound, so that it is necessary to take measures against the booklet that may be counterfeited.

  As a bookbinding method having a high prevention effect on the forgery method, there are methods described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. In the booklet binding method, a flat overlap leaf (paper) forming an inner page is bound with a sewing machine, and then an adhesive is applied to the entire length of the stitches from the binding thread side of the yarn binding flat overlap leaf, and the capillary action of the binding yarn An adhesive is impregnated into the thread and the needle puncture hole, and after curing, a cover is attached so as to conceal the thread.

The binding booklet bound as described above is hard to unwind and cut the binding thread, because the adhesive impregnated into the binding thread, thread, and needle puncture hole is hardened. It is valid. In addition, since the adhesive is applied from the thread on the back side of the booklet, the adhesive does not swell on the double-sided thread, so that the machine processing is not hindered.

  The booklet according to the above method has no problem even when an arbitrary page is opened or when an arbitrary page is machine-processed when the adhesive is only in the crease portion. However, if the amount of the adhesive is small, the forgery can be performed by cutting the cured adhesive with a sharp blade or the like. On the other hand, when the amount of the adhesive is increased to prevent forgery, the adhesive spreads from the crease part, and in order to open an arbitrary page, it is necessary to fold the left or right page part, Since the central part is raised, there are many cases where troubles occur in machine processing.

Patent documents are shown below.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-45267 Japanese Patent No. 2935836 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-110375 JP-A-7-271281 Japanese Patent No. 3684653

  It is a booklet that prevents the forgery, such as passports and other booklets that have been bound with a thread, by unwinding or cutting the yarn to separate each piece of paper, replacing some of the paper with forged paper, and then binding the paper again. The booklet has a strong anti-counterfeiting effect that secures the binding thread, and it is not necessary to fold the left or right page part to open an arbitrary page. Thus, it is to provide a booklet that does not hinder machine processing such as reading and writing of the description.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems. The invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that thread binding is performed along the center line of collated facing paper and text paper, and a cover is attached to the facing paper. In the booklet that is folded in half along the yarn binding part with the cover as the back side,
The booklet is characterized in that a transfer seal is transferred and pasted to a predetermined region including a part of the yarn binding portion of the center page.

The invention according to claim 2 is a booklet in which the binding is performed along the center line of the collated facing paper and the text sheet, the cover is attached to the facing paper, and the book is folded in two along the yarn binding portion with the cover as the back side. In
The booklet is characterized in that a transfer seal is transferred and pasted to a predetermined area of a sheet including a part of a thread binding portion of a page other than the center page.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the booklet according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the transfer seal is a transfer seal using a heat-sensitive adhesive.

  The invention according to claim 4 is the booklet according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the transfer seal has a hologram layer.

In the booklet according to the present invention, since the transfer seal is transferred and pasted to the yarn binding portion, the binding yarn is firmly fixed. Therefore, the booklet is highly effective in preventing counterfeiting by cutting the binding thread to separate the booklet and replacing the body page or ID page with a counterfeit product. In addition, it is not necessary to fold the left or right page part to open an arbitrary page of the booklet, and the booklet part does not swell up, so it can be used for machine processing such as reading and writing the description. It is a booklet that does not cause any problems.

  In particular, in the booklet of the first aspect of the present invention, since the transfer seal directly covers the yarn binding portion of the center page, the reinforcing effect and the forgery preventing effect are great.

  Further, in the booklet of the invention of claim 2 of the present invention, for the forgery method in which the binding thread is cut between the sheets, the booklet is separated, a part of the booklet is replaced with a forged sheet, and the yarn is bound again. The prevention effect is great.

In the present invention, the transfer seal includes what is called a transfer foil, a transfer seal, and a transfer label in addition to the so-called transfer seal. The shape is not specified. For example, a stripe shape, a strip shape, a circular shape or a star shape may be used.
The basic structure of a transfer seal that can be used in the present invention and the state of transfer will be described with reference to a sectional view of FIG. FIG. 3A shows a layer structure of an original film for transfer sealing. In the original film, a peeling material layer 32 is formed on a peeling base substrate 31, a transfer sealing layer 33, and then an adhesive layer 34 is formed. Structure. The shape of the original fabric may be a long tape or may be formed into a predetermined shape like a label.

  FIG. 3B shows a state in which the above-described original fabric is attached to the transfer target 35, and FIG. 3C shows a state in which the peeling base substrate 31 has been peeled off. In FIG. 3C, the transfer seal layer 33 is peeled off at the interface with the release agent layer 32 and transferred to the transfer target 35 side. In the present invention, the transfer seal layer 33 and the adhesive layer 34 are collectively referred to as a transfer seal.

  The transfer seal layer 33 may be simply a plastic film or a metal film, or may have a complicated configuration in which a plastic film, a metal film, or other layers are stacked.

  As long as the adhesive of the adhesive layer 34 satisfies the above conditions, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive (adhesive material), a heat-sensitive adhesive, a pressure-sensitive heat-sensitive adhesive, a thermosetting adhesive, and a photocurable adhesive Any of the agents may be used.

  A transfer seal using a heat-sensitive adhesive as an adhesive, so-called thermal transfer seal, is particularly preferable in terms of adhesive strength and workability when used in the present invention.

  Particularly preferred adhesives in the present invention are those having adhesive strength that makes nondestructive peeling difficult. That is, when the transfer seal layer is peeled off by any means, the adherent transfer body, that is, the booklet paper is destroyed, or the transfer seal layer 34 is destroyed.

  The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the schematic diagram shown in FIG. FIG. 1A shows a state in which a booklet 1 in which a center portion created by a normal manufacturing method illustrated in FIG. 2 is bound by a center page 3 is opened at a center page 3, and a dotted line in the center portion is a thread binding portion 2. Yes, the binding thread is exposed.

  FIG. 1A-1 shows a state in which a tape-like transfer seal 5 is attached so as to cover the entire portion where the yarn is bound. FIG. 1 (a-2) shows a state in which a strip-shaped transfer seal 6 is attached so as to cover a part of the bound portion.

The anti-counterfeit booklet of the invention of claim 1 of the present invention is a booklet in which a transfer seal is pasted in either state of FIG. 1 (a-1) or FIG. 1 (a-2). In addition, in FIG. 1 (a-2), although the strip-shaped transfer sticker has shown the state affixed on two places, one place may be sufficient and several places may be sufficient. Also, the same type of transfer seal may be used, or different types of transfer seals may be used. Further, the shape may be different.

  In the preparation process of the forgery-preventing booklet of the invention of claim 1, the step of attaching the transfer seal may be any time after the yarn binding step of FIG. 2 (b) in the bookbinding step of FIG. It is advantageous in terms of the process to be performed between the yarn binding process and the crease process.

  A booklet according to claim 2 of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 1B shows a state in which the booklet 1 created by the normal manufacturing method illustrated in FIG. 2 is opened with the page 4 that is not the center page, and the dotted line in the center is the yarn binding portion 2. FIG. 1B-1 shows a state in which a tape-like transfer seal 5 is attached so as to cover the entire portion where the yarn is bound. FIG. 1B-2 shows a state in which a strip-shaped transfer seal 6 is attached so as to cover a part of the portion where the yarn is bound.

  The anti-counterfeit booklet according to claim 2 of the present invention is a booklet in which a transfer seal is attached to either state of FIG. 1 (b-1) or FIG. 1 (b-2). In FIG. 1 (b-2), the strip-shaped transfer seal is shown in two places, but may be one place or several places. Also, the same type of transfer seal may be used, or different types of transfer seals may be used.

  In the preparation of the forgery prevention booklet of the invention of claim 2 of the present invention, the step of applying the transfer seal may be any time after the yarn binding step of FIG. Is preferred.

  In the booklet according to claim 1 or 2 of the present invention, the size of the portion to which the transfer seal is attached is not limited, but it is more difficult to forge by making the size that has the description items in the portion of the transfer seal. Become. For example, if a transfer seal is pasted so as to include a printed part, it becomes difficult to forge. Forgery becomes even more difficult if the transfer seal is made large so that a stamp mark or the like that is pressed when entering and leaving the country is printed on the transfer seal. In this case, a transfer seal having a stampable surface, for example, synthetic paper is used.

  As an apparatus for affixing the transfer sticker to a booklet sheet, for example, there is an up / down apparatus shown in FIG. 4A and a roll apparatus shown in FIG. 4B. FIG. 4A shows a state in which the transfer seal 41 is transferred and pasted to a predetermined portion of the booklet sheet by moving the flat pressure plate 43 up and down. FIG. 4B shows a state in which the pressure roll 44 is rotated and the transfer seal 41 is transferred and pasted to a predetermined portion of the booklet paper.

  The up-down type apparatus is preferably used when a label-type or strip-shaped transfer seal is attached. On the other hand, it is preferable to use a roll-type apparatus when a tape-shaped transfer seal is attached. Any device can be used when creating the booklet according to any one of claims 1 to 4.

A preferable transfer seal for firmly fixing the binding yarn portion has mechanical strength and bending durability. For example, a thermal transfer seal using a film of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester film or polycarbonate having a thickness of 10 to 100 μm as the transfer seal layer 33 and using a heat-sensitive adhesive as the adhesive 34 is preferable. In particular, it is preferable to use a polyester film as the transfer seal layer 33.

  Furthermore, as the transfer seal layer 33, the one using a synthetic paper having a thickness of 30 to 100 μm has the writing property, the printability, and the stamp suitability. By setting the size to be printed on the transfer seal layer 33 in a split state, the forgery preventing effect can be further improved.

  Any adhesive may be used as the adhesive constituting the adhesive layer 34, but a heat-sensitive adhesive is suitable. For example, polyester resin heat sensitive adhesive, acrylic heat sensitive adhesive, vinyl chloride heat sensitive adhesive, polyamide heat sensitive adhesive, polyvinyl acetate heat sensitive adhesive, rubber heat sensitive adhesive, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer heat sensitive Well-known thermoplastic resin-based heat-sensitive adhesives such as an adhesive and a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer-based heat-sensitive adhesive can be used.

  The heat-sensitive adhesive layer 34 is prepared by dissolving or dispersing the above heat-sensitive adhesive in an appropriate solvent so that the dry film thickness becomes 1 to 20 μm by a method such as a gravure coating method, a roll coating method, or a blade coating method. It is formed by coating and drying.

  The peeling base substrate 31 physically supports the transfer seal until the transfer is completed, and is peeled and removed from the surface of the transfer target 35 when the transfer is completed, as shown in FIG. Usually, a polyethylene terephthalate film having a thickness of 10 to 100 μm is used, but it can also be suitably used in the present invention.

  The release agent layer 32 is a layer provided so that the release base material 31 can be easily peeled from the transfer seal layer 33 during transfer. The release agent constituting the release agent layer 32 is selected from thermoplastic acrylic resin, chlorinated rubber resin, chlorinated rubber resin, nitrocellulose, acetylcellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate, polystyrene, vinyl chloride resin, or any of these. A mixture of one or more components can be used. When the above resin is used as a release agent, the release agent layer 42 is melted at the time of thermal transfer, and the release base substrate 31 and the transfer seal are easily peeled off.

  Moreover, thermosetting resins, such as a melamine resin, an alkyd resin, an epoxy resin, and a urea resin, can be used as a release agent. Since the release agent layer 32 using these thermosetting resins is thermally cured at the time of thermal transfer and the adhesive force with the transfer seal layer 33 is reduced, the release agent layer 32 can be easily peeled off.

  In addition, a transfer seal that is difficult to forge is effective for counterfeiting means that destructively peels the transfer seal and uses a new counterfeit transfer seal. For example, it is preferable to employ a transfer seal using a special ink (fluorescence, phosphorescence, phosphorescence), an optical ink (cholesteric liquid crystal, nematic liquid crystal, light reflecting substance), or a transfer seal having a hologram layer.

  In particular, a transfer seal having a hologram layer is difficult to counterfeit and can form a unique eye-catching and highly decorative pattern, so it is effective for use in the anti-counterfeit booklet of the present invention. Is expensive.

  The hologram transfer seal can be appropriately selected from conventionally known ones. For example, what is described in Patent Document 3 can be used.

Further, the transfer seal is preferably subjected to brittle processing. Here, brittle processing means that the transfer seal breaks when peeling is attempted. Among them, the brittle hologram transfer seal is particularly suitable for use in the booklet of the present invention because the hologram forming layer is destroyed when the transfer seal is peeled off from the booklet paper. The brittle hologram transfer seal can be appropriately selected from conventionally known ones. For example, those described in Patent Document 4 and Patent Document 5 can be used.
