Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a simple photo album having a transparent bag that can efficiently store two kinds of sizes of photographs.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there are many photo albums for efficiently storing two types of photo sizes in the same album, such as regular size (E / L size, 89 × 128 mm) photos and panoramic size (89 × 254 mm) photos. Although proposed, the inventors of the present invention have previously proposed Japanese Utility Model Application No. 6-4708 (registered utility model No. 3002792) as a photo album of this type.

The invention of this registered utility model No. 3002792 is an enclosed space surrounded by a mount and a transparent cover and having a size capable of accommodating one panoramic size photograph, and an insertion opening for inserting the photograph into this enclosed space. And a partition (stopper) for storing and holding two regular size photos side by side in the enclosed space, and each area for storing regular size photos is covered with a separate transparent cover, and the insertion opening is The photo album that covers the transparent cover on the other side and covers the other transparent cover with the transparent cover facing down is included.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The device described in Registered Utility Model No. 3002792 can see two kinds of photos without rotating the album, and improves the storage efficiency. However, the middle insertion port has two transparent covers. Since it has been superposed, when inserting a panorama size photo, the end of the photo can pass smoothly without protruding from the middle insertion port, and regular size photos can be inserted without problems, and a stable insertion port Is expected to be obtained.

However, in this registered utility model No. 3002792, it is not always necessary to superimpose two transparent covers on each other, and in particular, in the case of a single-stage type (FIGS. 3 and 4), one transparent cover is used. It is used only, and the above-mentioned intermediate insertion port is not formed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple photo album which can accommodate two kinds of photo sizes, can greatly increase the number of stored images in some cases, is easy to manufacture, and is inexpensive. To do.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The gist of the present invention is as follows. (1) One side of the album's photo insertion area is a base sheet large enough to hold two E / L size photos or one panorama size photo, and the base sheet is vertically adjacent. The two transparent covers are overlapped with each other, and the two transparent covers are overlapped with each other over a certain range with one transparent cover facing down, and the side ends of one transparent cover are overlapped with each other.・ L-size and panoramic-size photos can be inserted with the width of the photo insertion slot, and the side edge of the transparent cover at the overlapping position can be used as the E-L size photo insertion slot. A photo album characterized by its composition. (2) A photo album in which one side of the photo insertion section described in (1) above is formed by fixing a plurality of sheets on the back side of the board which is the album cover in a stepwise manner. (3) A photo album formed by folding one side of the photo insertion part described in 1 above in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 shows an open state of a stepped album which is one form of the photo album according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is an album cover board made of thick paper or plastic or the like, and 2 is a photographic insert portion in which a plurality of upper edges of the cover board 1 are fixed in a stepped manner on the back surface thereof. In the example shown in the figure, the photo insertion section 2 is designed to store two E / L size photos on the front side and one panoramic size photo on the back side, and the same number of photos on the back side. Shows a stepped album with 20 sheets on one side and 40 sheets on both sides. Therefore, a total of 160 E / L size pictures and a total of 80 panoramic size pictures can be stored.

FIG. 2 shows the details of each photo inserting section 2 used in the album of FIG. As shown in the sectional view of FIG. 2 (b), the photograph inserting section 2 includes an intermediate base sheet 3 of a size large enough to store two E and L size photographs side by side, and the base sheet 3 It is formed of a transparent cover that is fixed to the front and back sides with the sandwiched between. Taking the front side as an example, the transparent cover is composed of two transparent covers 4a and 4b which are divided into left and right, and these transparent covers 4a and 4b are adjacent to each other and cover the right side cover 4b over a certain range. Is polymerized with the above. This superposition part is set to 5. The left side transparent cover 4a is not fixed to both side edges (left and right sides) with respect to the base sheet 3 and has an open end, and the right side transparent cover 4b has only the side edge on the overlapping portion 5 side opened. The other edge is fixed to the base sheet 3 or formed into a bag shape. A stopper 6 is provided on the right side of the lower edge of each of the transparent covers 4a and 4b so as to stop the corner of the photograph when inserting a photograph of size E or L. The back side of the base sheet 3 has the same structure as the front side.

With this configuration, when inserting an E / L size photograph, the left sides of the transparent covers 4a and 4b become the insertion openings 8a and 8b, and in the case of a panoramic size photograph, the transparent side is inserted. The left side of the cover 4a becomes the insertion opening 8a, and the overlapping portion 5 allows the photograph to pass therethrough. 3 (a) shows a state in which two E / L size photographs are inserted and held by the stopper 6, and (b) shows a state in which one panoramic size photograph is inserted.

When an actual photo album is created, the photograph insertion portion 2 of FIG. 2 is vertically arranged on the back surface of the cover board 1 of FIG. 1 with the upper edge portion (hatched portion of FIG. 2) 9 as a glue portion. It is manufactured by fixing a plurality of so-called step-types while slightly shifting it. The middle part of the cover board 1 is used as a spine cover, and the same number of steps are formed on both left and right sides, and the two are folded into an album.

FIG. 4 shows a horizontally long base sheet 13 of a size capable of accommodating four sheets of E / L size photographs arranged side by side in the photo insertion portion of one sheet constituting the album, and a center line C of the base sheet 13. The transparent cover 14 is symmetrically covered with the base sheet sandwiched between the base sheet and the cover. The method of coating the transparent cover 14 is the same as that shown in FIG. 2, and two transparent covers are coated on one side by superposing a certain range of adjacent portions of each other. Therefore, one sheet in Fig. 4 (same format on the front and back sides) can store eight E / L size photos and four panoramic size photos. Prepare multiple such sheets and place the centerline C position on the album cover. A photo album will be completed if bound together. Note that in FIG. 15, reference numeral 15 is an insertion hole for an E / L size or panorama size photo, and 16 is an insertion port for an E / L size photo.

In the example of FIG. 5, the method of binding the photographic insertion sheet portion is different from that of FIG. 4, and the photographic insertion sheet portion is folded in the longitudinal direction. The one-sheet photo loading section is formed of a base sheet 23 having a size capable of storing two E / L size photographs vertically and two horizontally, and a transparent cover 24 covered with the base sheet 23. The broken line in the figure indicates the location where the base sheet and cover are fixed (welded). In this example, the transparent cover is symmetrically covered with the horizontal center line L 1 interposed therebetween. The method of covering the transparent cover 24 is the same as that shown in FIG. 2, and two transparent covers in one stage are overlapped with each other in a certain range to cover them. Therefore, even one sheet (same format as the front and back sides) in Fig. 5 can store 8 E / L size photos and 4 panoramic size photos. A simple photo album will be completed by binding at the L position. Note that the reference numeral 25 in the figure is the insertion opening for E / L size or panoramic size pictures, and the reference numeral 26 is the insertion opening for E / L size pictures.

In the present invention, the transparent cover may be a normal polypropylene film (PP film) or another synthetic resin film, and the base sheet is also a polypropylene film or another synthetic resin film. Although it can be used, it is preferable to select a semi-transparent or non-transparent one having a thickness larger than that of the transparent cover. When such a PP film or the like is used for both the transparent cover and the base sheet, if the welding method is adopted as the fixing means for both, the production becomes easy. Of course, a base sheet that has been used conventionally may be used as the base sheet, and in this case, gluing serves as a fixing means. In the case of a multi-stage album as shown in FIG. 1, it is desirable that both the transparent cover and the base sheet are made of PP film, because the overall thickness of the album is thin and lightweight.
