Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of forming a unit sheet from continuous sheets folded at a cutting perforation, and more particularly, to a method in which a unit sheet is folded in units of two sheets. I have. That is, the present invention relates to a method for creating a unit sheet from a continuous sheet folded at every other cutting perforation.

Conventional technology Conventionally, in the case of continuous paper in which unit papers are continuously provided via a cutting perforation, if each unit paper is folded at each cutting perforation, it is bulky and inconvenient for storage, etc.
In addition, since continuous paper is easily bent at the folded portion during transfer when performing processing such as printing and the transfer becomes difficult, it is common to fold every two or three unit sheets. . The inconvenience and difficulty described above increase as the size of the unit paper decreases.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, when cutting a continuous sheet in a conventional folded state into unit sheets, it is not easy to cut at a cutting perforation which was not a folded portion, and the load is excessively applied. was there. This disadvantage is particularly remarkable when the continuous paper is thick, for example, when two sheets are pasted together to create a card, a label, or the like, or when a plurality of sheets are bound for a copy form. Therefore, in the conventional case, in the worst case, a portion other than the perforation for cutting may be broken at the time of cutting, and a situation may occur in which the sheet cannot be used as a unit sheet.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of forming a unit sheet that can easily cut a continuous sheet at a cutting perforation.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve this object, according to the present invention, a large number of unit papers on which information is displayed are connected via cut perforations, and every other one of the cut perforations is provided. The continuous paper folded at the cutting perforation is released once from the folded state, then folded again at every other cutting perforation that is not a folded portion, and then cut at each cutting perforation. The unit paper is created.

FunctionBecause the perforation for cutting that was not a folded part before cutting is also folded, it is folded at all perforations for cutting, and the cut part of the perforation for cutting is opened, and the tie part is continuous with the cut part. Since the folding line is formed, the cutting operation is facilitated.

Next, a method for creating a two-fold postcard having concealment information performed by using the above-described devices will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG.

The two-fold postcard paper 1 in a continuous state in which necessary information is printed on the front side by the printer is folded in a zigzag shape at each of the cutting perforations 2a positioned every other, and then the first post-processing apparatus is used. The paper piece 8 is placed in parallel with the support member 21 so that the back side of the paper piece 8 can contact the water roll 23. The two-fold postcard 1 is raised via the support member 21 so that the back side of the paper piece 8 is in contact with the water roll 23, passes between the pair of sandwiching members 26, and passes through the auxiliary bar 27. Then, the marginal holes 5a and 5b are set so as to be inserted into the pins of the tractor 28. On the other hand, the continuous label paper 12 is turned from the feeding roller 29 on which the continuous label paper 12 is wound via the guide bar 30, is further pulled out via the guide roller 31, and has its leading end fixed to the take-up roller 32. It is set in a state where it is wound twice.

In this setting state, when the label piece 19 of the continuous label paper 12 is located at the position corresponding to the guide bar 30, the concealment information printing part 11 of the two-fold postcard paper 1 is finely adjusted to be located almost immediately below. When the tractor 28 and the take-up roller 32 are driven synchronously, the two-fold postcard sheet 1 and the continuous label sheet 21 are transported at the same speed. In the transfer process, the two-fold postcard 1 is firstly rolled with a water roll against the moisture-sensitive adhesive applied to the back side of the paper piece 8.
23 provides an appropriate amount of water. Next, the back surfaces of the paper pieces 7, 8 are sequentially superimposed on each other by the sandwiching member 26 from the side close to the folding perforation 9 toward the marginal portions 6a, 6b. Is adhered by the applied adhesive.

When the two-fold postcard 1 that has been folded in two and the back sides thereof are adhered to each other and the concealment information printing sections 11 thereof are positioned corresponding to the tractors 28, the guide bars 30 are provided to the concealment information printing sections 11. The label pieces 19 peeled off from the release paper 13 when the direction is changed by, are reliably separated and supplied and held by the gripping rollers 33, and are lightly adhered to such an extent that no displacement occurs. The label piece 19 includes a pressure roller 34a,
When passing through 34b, the two-fold postcard 1 is securely attached to the concealment information printing unit 11. As a result, the deposit balance, which is the concealment information printed on the concealment information printing unit 11, is concealed in an invisible state. Subsequently, the two-fold postcard 1 is guided to the swing fin 35, and is re-folded in a zigzag shape again at every other cutting perforation 2b which has not been folded by the reciprocating movement. Not placed on a stock table.

On the other hand, the continuous label paper 12 from which the label pieces 19 have been peeled off,
It is guided by the guide roller 31 and is taken up by the take-up roller 32.

 Thus, the operation by the first process device ends.

Subsequently, the two-fold postcard paper 1 in a continuous state folded in a zigzag shape at every other cutting perforation 2b is set on the second process device in the same manner as the first process device, When the tractor 43 is driven, it is pulled out upward, and while being transferred from the tractor 43 to the low-speed rollers 45a, 45b, the marginal portions 6a, 6b in the bonded state are separated by the slitter 44.

For the two-fold postcard sheet 1 that is further transferred,
At the same time that tension is applied due to the difference in transport speed between the low-speed rollers 45a and 45b and the high-speed rollers 47a and 47b,
The blades 46 abut against 2a and 2b, and the two-fold postcard sheet 1 in the continuous state is cut into two folded unit sheets 3. Since this cutting operation is performed after all of the cutting perforations 2a and 2b are folded, the cutting operation can be easily performed without applying a large load. In this way, a two-fold postcard 48 as shown in FIG. 5 is created.

The two-fold postcard 48 created as described above can be immediately mailed, and the addressee who has received the two-fold postcard 48 can peel off the film 16 from the film 15 that is pressed against and adhered to the label piece 19. Thus, the label piece 19 can be peeled from the two-fold postcard 48. As a result, the deposit balance, which is concealment information, can be visually recognized through the film 15.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, it is not necessary to separately configure each device to be used in the first process device and the second process device. Further, the refolding operation of the two-fold postcard sheet 1 in a continuous state may be performed by using a folding device having any other configuration than the swing fin 35. Further, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to the creation of cards other than two-fold postcards having concealment information and other appropriate unit sheets.

Advantageous Effects As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the cutting perforation, which was not the folded portion, is folded before being cut into the unit paper. Since no load is applied, the portion other than the perforation for cutting is not broken, and an advantageous effect that a unit paper having a good appearance can be provided can be obtained.
