Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a postcard with a photograph using a photograph on one side.

<Related Art> In recent years, postcards with photographs in which a photograph is attached to the back of a postcard have become widespread.

Conventionally, postcards with photographs have glue applied to the back side of a band-shaped photo that is made by continuously arranging imaging cuts at equal intervals, and the glue coated surface of the above band-shaped photo is applied to the back side of the cut official or private postcard for each imaging cut The continuous rolled postcards are attached and integrated, cut into individual postcards with photographs using a cutter, and manufactured.

<Problem to be Solved by the Invention> The belt-shaped photograph cannot be manufactured in a general DPE shop at present with the equipment provided in the shop for the reasons described below, and is manufactured by a specialized manufacturer. .

As is well known, a general DPE shop is equipped with an automated machine for the purpose of finally obtaining a card-shaped photograph, and since the obtained photograph is also thick in photographic paper, this is a government-made postcard. In most cases, the weight exceeds 6 grams, which is the limit for mail.

Therefore, photos with postcards can only be produced at ordinary DPE shops without investing in new facilities, which is the reason why photos with postcards are still expensive.

It is not common to use a card-like photograph itself as a postcard, since writing a communication message directly on photographic paper also limits writing instruments.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to manufacture postcards with photographs at a small-scale capital investment even in a general DPE shop using ordinary card-shaped photographs instead of strip photographs.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The invention according to claim 1 is directed to a method in which a plurality of card-shaped photographs are sequentially printed one by one on roll paper with dry glue having dry glue adhered on one side in advance. An apparatus for manufacturing a postcard with a photo to be attached to an adhering surface, a feeding device for feeding the roll paper with the dry paste to a downstream line in a belt shape, and a post-installation device disposed at the downstream end of the line and after the photo adhering process. A collection processing device that collects the band-shaped roll paper, and further, in order from the feeding device to the collection device, a water-containing device that contacts the dried paste of the band-shaped roll paper to impregnate water, and a water-containing state. And a photo sticking device for transferring and sticking the card-shaped photo on the adhesion surface of the dried paste whose adhesive strength has been restored.

Further, the invention according to claim 2 provides a method for printing a plurality of card-shaped photographs on a first roll paper as a postcard base material or a second roll paper with dry paste in which dry paste is previously adhered to one side. An apparatus for manufacturing a postcard with a photo, which sticks a sheet to a surface to which glue is attached in sequence, wherein the first roll paper or the second roll paper with dry glue can be selectively attached. A collection device for collecting the first roll paper or the second roll paper after the photo adhering process, which is disposed at the downstream end of the line, and which is provided at a downstream end of the line. Between the feeding device and the collecting device, a water-containing device that contacts the dry paste of the second roll paper with the dry paste in the form of a strip to impregnate water, and a line that passes through the water-containing device from the feeding device The first roll arranged as a separate system And a glue application device for applying the glue on the photo affixing surface of the first roll paper coated with the glue by the glue application device between the water-containing device and the glue application device and the collection device. It is characterized in that it is provided with a photo sticking device that reprints and sticks a card-shaped photograph on the glue attaching surface or the dry glue attaching surface of the second roll paper whose adhesive strength has been restored by the water-containing device.

<Operation> According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is sufficient to prepare a photograph obtained by cutting the photograph in a card shape in advance, and the photograph is coated with glue in advance and dried glue is not attached. Deformation and deterioration of the photo card are prevented. In addition, since the deformation of the roll paper can be suppressed by selecting a suitable one for applying the paste to be treated as a dry paste and recovering the adhesive force due to the hydration, the roll is rolled up into a belt shape and photographed. Even if it is a line where the photo is pasted, occurrence of distortion or deformation of the product after the photo is pasted is prevented.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a line passing through a water-containing device and a glue applying device are used as a roll paper as a postcard base material, depending on whether glue to be applied as a dry glue is previously attached or used as it is. By switching to a line that passes through, it is possible to select either the second roll paper with dry glue or the first roll paper without dry glue attached. Even paper that easily deforms can be used as the first roll paper, and the base material can be selected according to the use of the postcard to be manufactured.
