Description

  The present invention relates to a folding table that assists in folding paper.

  Japanese Patent No. 6226454 discloses a paper folding ruler for neatly folding and folding paper.

Japanese Patent No. 6226454

  In order to fold paper using the above-described conventional paper folding ruler, it is necessary to learn the procedure. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a folding table that can more easily fold a sheet.

  A folding table in one aspect of the present invention has an upper surface and a lower surface. Both ends in the width direction of the upper surface form two parallel sides, and the cross section of the corner at the two sides of the upper surface is an acute angle. With a simple operation of placing the paper on the upper surface and tracing the paper along the two sides of the upper surface, the paper can be creased along the two sides. Also, a plurality of papers can be folded at the same time by placing a plurality of papers on a paper folding table and tracing the paper along two sides. In addition, the cross section of the corner on the two sides of the upper surface is a cross section of a plane perpendicular to the two sides. In this cross section, an angle formed by a line on the upper surface extending from an end of the upper surface and a line on the back surface of the upper surface is an acute angle. Note that the paper can be cut along two sides of the upper surface using a paper folding table. The paper folding table can also be used as a paper cutting table.

  The width W between the two sides of the upper surface can be 98 cm or more and 100 cm or less. Thereby, trifolding of A4 size paper on the upper surface can be performed by a simple operation.

  Both ends in the width direction of the lower surface may form two parallel sides, and a cross section of a corner at the two sides of the lower surface may be an acute angle. Thus, the folding table can be used even in a state where the upper and lower surfaces of the folding table are turned upside down.

  The width W2 between the two sides of the lower surface can be set to 84 cm or more and 87 cm or less. Thereby, trifolding of B5 size paper on the lower surface can be performed by a simple operation.

  Scales may be displayed on at least one of the two sides of the upper surface, the back of the two sides of the upper surface, the two sides of the lower surface, and the back of the two sides of the lower surface. Thereby, the length can be measured using the paper folding table.

  A center line between two sides of the upper surface may be drawn on the upper surface. For example, the paper can be folded on a paper folding table such that the center of the paper is located at the center line of the upper surface. Note that a center line between two sides of the lower surface may be drawn on the lower surface.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a paper folding table according to the embodiment. FIG. 2 is a front view of the folding table in the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a front view of a folding table according to a modification of the embodiment.

  In this embodiment, a one-third 99 cm wide paper folding table of A4 size, 297 cm, which is generally large, is prepared. Both ends in the width direction of the table are acute angles. Since both ends are sharp, the folding table can also be used for hand-cutting paper. For example, if A4 paper is placed on a paper folding table and the edge of the paper is aligned with the edge of the table, one fold of three folds can be secured. Also, if a fold is made in the middle of the A4 paper and it is aligned with the center line of the table, two lines necessary for three-folding can be secured at once.

  The paper folding table in this embodiment does not take a place unlike a conventional mechanical tri-folding machine. Unlike the conventional tri-fold ruler, the paper folding table of the present embodiment does not need to learn the procedure for tri-fold. Also, it can be folded three times at a time, reducing the stress of the clerk who fills the envelope. Further, as another function, a scale may be provided inside along at least one edge of the upper surface, the lower surface, the lower surface, and the lower surface of the base. Multiple types of scales in different units (eg, inches, meters, etc.) can be provided.

  The angle θ in the cross section of the corners at both ends in the width direction of the upper surface is 0 ° <θ <90 °. The lower limit of the range of θ may preferably be 10 ° ≦ θ, 20 ° ≦ θ, or 30 ° ≦ θ. In addition, the upper limit of the range of θ can be preferably θ ≦ 80 °, θ ≦ 70 °, or θ ≦ 60 °. The back surface of the upper surface may be a flat surface or a curved surface.

  When the upper surface is used for folding A4 paper into three, the width W of the upper surface is 99 cm. In this case, the width W of the upper surface may be 98 cm <W <100 cm. When used for three-folding of the B5 sheet on the lower surface, the width W2 of the lower surface is 85.6 cm. In this case, the width W2 of the lower surface may be 84 cm <W2 <87 cm.

  The height H of the folding table may be, for example, 1 cm ≦ H ≦ 30 cm. The lower limit of the height H can preferably be 2 cm ≦ H, 3 cm ≦ H, or 4 cm ≦ H. The upper limit of the height H can be preferably H ≦ 20 cmH, H ≦ 15 cm, or H ≦ 10 cmH.

  The length L of the paper folding table may be, for example, 3 cm ≦ L ≦ 40 cm. The lower limit of the length L can preferably be 5 cm ≦ L, 7 cm ≦ L, or 10 cm ≦ L. The upper limit of the length L can be preferably L ≦ 30 cm, H ≦ 21 cm, or H ≦ 10 cmH.
