Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a signature for encapsulation which is suitable for enclosing an appendix such as a floppy disk or an optical disk in a magazine or the like.

“Prior Art” In recent years, with the spread of personal computers and the like, floppy disks or optical disks are often attached as appendices to magazines and the like.

Here, since floppy disks and the like are weak against bending, it is necessary to attach them to magazines while reinforcing them. For this reason,
In the past, a floppy disk-sized through hole was provided in the center of a rectangular corrugated board that was slightly larger than the floppy disk, and the floppy disk was inserted into this through hole, put them in an envelope, and then manually sandwiched them in a magazine. .

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, in the above-mentioned technique, since it is necessary to manually insert the floppy disk into the magazine, a great labor cost is required. There is also a problem that the process of attaching the floppy disk to the magazine needs to be performed after the binding of the magazine is completed, and it cannot be included in the process of binding the magazine, so that the process of binding the magazine needs to be accelerated. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an enclosing signature capable of automatically attaching a floppy disk or the like during a bookbinding process for magazines and the like.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, an elastic plate for holding a flat object to be protected, and the elastic plate together with the object to be protected are sealed, and a sealed state is provided. In the form of a plate,
Formed larger than the bookbinding size and has a binding margin,
A film member configured to be bound via the binding margin, and linear perforations are provided on the membrane member along the binding margin within a range defined by the binding dimension. I am trying.

"Operation" When a force that bends is applied to the enclosing signature of the present invention during the bookbinding process, this force does not bend the elastic plate together with the protected object and does not damage the protected object. . Further, since the perforations are provided within the range defined by the bookbinding dimension, there is little risk of bending at the perforations during the bookbinding process. Then, after binding the folding signature with other signatures and cutting off the end of the folding signature so that the cut reaches the perforation, it is easy to separate the folding signature through this perforation. Become.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of an enclosing signature according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is an elastic plate made of a plastic material, cardboard, polyethylene or the like, which is formed in a rectangular plate shape and is provided with a rectangular through hole 1a at the center thereof. A 5-inch floppy disk 2 is fitted in the through hole 1a, and the floppy disk 2 is fixed to the elastic plate 1 by adhesive tapes 3,3. Next, 4 is a wrapping paper, and a rectangular paper or a magnetic shield film is bent along the center line (straight line CD) so as to wrap the elastic plate 1, and the rectangular ABCD portion is left and bonded in a bag shape. It consists of Then, the above constituent elements 1 to
A signature 5 for inclusion is constituted by 4.

Next, in the figure, the rectangle EFGH shows the specified size of the magazine in which the binding signature 5 is bound (the binding dimension is the length in the straight line EF direction of this specified size), and the vertical direction of the binding signature ( The length in the straight line EF direction) is larger than the specified size. On the other hand, the length in the lateral direction (straight line FG direction) is shorter than the specified size. Further, a portion along the straight line EF of the enclosing signature 5 is a binding margin 6, which is cut out like a saw blade. Further, the enclosing signature 5 is provided with perforations 7 in parallel with the binding margin 6. Perforation 7
Is formed between points I and J as shown in the drawing, and is not formed near the end of the folding signature 5.
Further, a hole 8 for venting air is provided near the end of the rectangular ABCD.

Next, a method of binding a magazine or the like including the signature section 5 having the above-mentioned structure will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 2, 9 is a stack, and a large number of folding signatures 5, 5, ... Are stacked inside the stack. Also, 10,
10, ... are signatures to be bound together with the signatures for inclusion 5,5 ..., and are placed in a bucket 11 having a substantially V-shaped cross section.
While being conveyed in a predetermined direction (for example, from the back side of the paper in the figure to the front side). Next, 12 is a roller, and signatures 10,1
It rotates counterclockwise in synchronization with the transport of 0, .... Denoted at 13 is a pull-out claw, and the stack 9 is synchronized with the rotation of the roller 12.
The binding margin portion of the enclosing signature 5 located at the lower end of the inside is bite between the roller 12 and the roller 12, and the enclosing signature 5 is pulled out by rotating counterclockwise with the roller 12 by a predetermined angle. After that, the folding signature 5 is opened. As a result, the pulled out signature 5 is dropped onto the signatures 10, 10, ... With the binding margin portion facing downward. As shown in the drawing, when the enclosing signature 5 is pulled out, it bends to form an angle θ of about 15 °. Then, the signatures 10 on which the signatures 5 for inclusion are placed are conveyed to the next bookbinding process, and necessary signatures are sequentially stacked.

When all the required signatures are stacked, the binding margin of each signature is scratched, the adhesive is applied, each signature is bound and the cover is attached. Here, each signature and the cover are slightly larger than the specified size of the magazine, and the portion protruding beyond the specified size is cut off by a cutter (not shown).

The bookbinding method described above is the most widely used bookbinding method for general magazines and the like, but the enclosing signature of the present embodiment is devised in the following points so as to be compatible with this bookbinding method. Has been done.

The elastic plate 1 has a spring constant similar to that of the floppy disk 2 with respect to bending in the horizontal direction.
When the paper is pulled out by the pull-out claw 13, the elastic plate 1 and the floppy disk 2 bend while having the same radius of curvature.
Therefore, the folding signature 5 can be incorporated in the bookbinding process without applying an excessive force to the floppy disk 2. Although the bending angle θ shown in FIG. 2 is about 15 °, it has been confirmed by experiments by the present inventor that the flexure of this degree does not hinder the floppy disk 2.

The perforation 7 is provided for the convenience of the magazine reader to separate the signature section 5, but is formed between points I and J within the specified size of the magazine and is outside the specified size. No perforation is provided in the part of. This is to prevent the binding signature 5 from being bent along the straight line IJ and hindering bookbinding when the binding signature 5 is dropped into the bucket 11 with the binding margin facing downward. On the other hand, after the bookbinding is completed and the portion protruding from the specified size is cut off, since the perforation 7 remains so as to penetrate the longitudinal direction of the enclosing signature 5, the encapsulating signature along the perforation 7 5 can be easily separated.

In the binding signature 5, the binding margin 6 is scratched and adhesive is applied together with the other signatures 10 at the time of bookbinding, and the binding margin 6 is preliminarily processed into a saw blade shape. In view of the fact that the enclosing signature 5 is heavier than the other signatures, the adhesive application area is larger than that of the other signatures.

The air vent hole 8 is provided to prevent the enclosing signature 5 from swelling and hindering bookbinding for some reason.

Modifications It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made as follows, for example.

The enclosing signature 5 may be constituted by a shrink (vacuum pack) of the wrapping paper 4 as shown in FIG.
In this case, the adhesive tape 3 in FIG.
The holes 8 and 8 need not be provided. In addition, in the configuration shown in FIG. 3, the elastic plate 1 has a smaller size and the area of the bag-shaped portion (the portion indicated by the rectangle ABCD) is smaller than that in FIG. ing. Accordingly, the same enclosing signature 5 can be used for various bookbinding sizes (for example, A5 size, B5 size, etc.), and can be appropriately cut and used according to these bookbinding sizes.

The bookbinding method described with reference to FIG. 2 can also be modified in various ways as shown in FIGS.

In the same figure (a), the stack 9 has an inclined bottom plate 9a.
Is provided, and the signatures for each enclosure are provided along this inclined surface.
5,5, ... are tilted. This enables signatures for each enclosure.
The bending angle θ when pulling 5, 5, ... becomes small, and the pulling out can be performed very smoothly.

Further, in the same figure (b), an arm 14 having one end 14a pivotally attached and the other end serving as a bite portion 14b is provided. When the bucket 11 is conveyed, the arm 14 rotates counterclockwise about the one end 14a, and the binding margin portion of the enclosing signature 5 located at the lowermost end of the stack 9 is held by the biting portion 14b.
Bite by. Then, when the arm 14 returns to the original position and the bite portion 14b opens the enclosing signature 5, the encapsulating signature 5 is dropped into the bucket 11.

Further, in the same figure (c), a locking metal fitting 15 having an L-shaped cross section is provided at the end of the bottom plate 9a of the stack 9.
When the bucket 11 is transported, the locking fitting 15 moves to the position indicated by the broken line K for a predetermined time and returns to the original position. Thereby, the folding signature 5 located at the bottom end of the stack 9
However, gravity causes the bucket 11 to slide down.

"Effect of the device" As described above, according to the signature for encapsulation of the present invention,
Since the elastic plate can prevent the object to be protected from bending and the perforations are provided within the range defined by the bookbinding size, there is no problem in bookbinding. Therefore, it is possible to incorporate an attachment such as a floppy disk into a bookbinding process such as a magazine.
