Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 to 8 show a first embodiment in which a greeting card according to the present invention is applied to a summer greeting.
1 is a flat box-shaped card body having a space inside, a front surface portion 1a, side surface portions 1b, 1b, 1b, 1b bent from both side edges of the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the front surface portion, And a rear surface portion 1c facing each other. Each of the surface portions is made of a material having an appropriate waist, such as paper, a synthetic resin sheet, and a laminate sheet.

An opening (window hole) 2 having a required size and shape is formed in the front portion 1a, and a desired decorative portion 10 is applied to a region other than the opening 2 by a printing method or the like. In this example, the mark “HAVE A NICE SUMMER” is given on the upper side of the opening, and in the area apart from this, symbols such as seaweed, starfish and fish living in the sea are shown.

As shown in FIG. 2, the rear surface portion 1c is provided with a description portion 11 for entering a message or the name of a sender, and a decoration representing marine organisms such as dolphins, crabs, seaweeds and the like. The part 12 is applied by a printing method or the like.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a strip-shaped decorative piece built in the space of the card body 1 and is movable left and right along the inner side of the front surface while being exposed through the opening 2.
The strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is made of a base material 30 having an appropriate waist, such as paper, a synthetic resin film, a laminate sheet, and the like. And the strip | belt-shaped decoration piece 3 has the dimension more than the vertical width of the said opening 2, and the dimension exceeding a horizontal width, A desired picture, a pattern, a figure, a character, a symbol, etc. over the full length in the range visually recognized from an opening. A large number of decorative portions 31 combining arbitrary ones are provided continuously or in a dotted manner. It is effective that the decoration unit 31 represents a story or a time-series event as a whole.
In the example shown in the figure, as the decoration part 31, as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8D, a state in which underwater creatures such as large and small fish and turtles move, a diver that moves together with dolphins, and the like are sequentially represented. At the end, the diver's picture shows the message you want to convey, for example, the words “Have a fun summer” in this example.

The base material of the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 may be opaque or transparent (including translucent). In this embodiment, the latter mode is adopted, and the decorative portion 31 is applied to the transparent synthetic resin film 30 in multiple colors.

The belt-like decorative piece 3 is not limited in structure as long as it can be moved (slided) in a state of being built in the card body 1, but a certain moving distance is ensured in terms of animation, From the viewpoint of facilitating incorporation into the belt, it is preferable to use an endless belt (endless screen) or a belt without a turn. In this example, the former is adopted, and the front and rear ends of the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 provided with the decorative portion 31 are joined to form a ring.

The strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is supported by the guide means 4 in the card body so that the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 moves smoothly in a straight line in the region of the opening 2. In this embodiment, the guide means 4 comprises a pair of left and right shaft-like bodies 40, 40. Each shaft-like body 40, 40 is located at the inner end of the card body 1 corresponding to the turn portion of the endless belt. Is located. In this example, the shaft-like bodies 40, 40 are configured to rotate together with the strip-shaped decorative piece 3, and for this purpose, bearing means 41, 41 in which the upper and lower ends of the shaft-like body 40 are provided in the upper and lower portions of the card body 1. It is supported by freely rotating.

The material of the shaft-like body is not limited, but is preferably made of paper or synthetic resin for weight reduction. Although the shape of the shaft-shaped portion is not limited, a columnar shape or a cylindrical shape is preferable for smooth movement of the strip-shaped decorative piece 3.
The bearing means 41, 41 may be a piece of paper or the like formed into a groove with one side opening and a required portion adhered to the inner surface of the card body. In this example, the unit of the shaft-shaped body and the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is easily assembled. In order to be able to attach, an outer bearing system in which the shaft-like body 40 is loosely enclosed is used, but instead of this, an inner bearing that fits in the shaft-like body may be used.
When the shaft 40 is a fixed shaft, the shaft 40 may be bonded and fixed to the inner surface of the card body. Since the shaft-like body 40 in this case only needs to have a curvature surface about a half circumference, the shaft-like body 40 may have a block-like cross section obtained by dividing a perfect circle or an ellipse.

And in order to suppress the bending | flexion of the strip | belt-shaped decoration piece 3 between the said shaft-shaped bodies 40 and 40, in a card | curd main body facing the opening 2, the back side and the front side are approached so that the inner surface of the strip-shaped decoration piece 3 may be approached. Guide members 6 and 6 ′ are arranged, and at least one end in the vertical direction is fixed to the side surface.
In this example, the back side guide member 6 has a face plate shape so as to also serve as background means, and a decorative portion 60 is applied to the surface by a printing method or the like. With such a configuration, a sense of depth or three-dimensionality can be produced, and as the belt parallel part on the rear side turns behind the guide member 6 as it moves, the decoration part 31 is hidden, so the message hides something. Can increase the unexpectedness. The decoration part 60 is preferably a decoration associated with the decoration part 31 of the strip-shaped decoration piece 3, and in this example, the state of the seabed and the underwater and distant aquatic organisms above the seabed are shown. Front-side guide members 6 'are arranged on both sides of the opening.

The moving operation of the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 in the card body 1 may be a form in which a finger is directly inserted into the opening 2 and the band-shaped decorative piece 3 is sent while being shifted left and right while pressing the strip-shaped decorative piece 3. In this embodiment, the card main body 1 is provided with a dedicated movement operation window 5 because it is not preferable.
The moving operation window 5 is provided at a position separated from the opening 2. Although it may have a closed outline, in this example, the card body side end region, particularly the portion corresponding to the turn portion of the strip-shaped decorative piece 3, straddles the surface portion 1 a, the side surface portion 1, and the back surface portion 1 c of the card body 1. It is comprised as such a notch part, and both the turn parts (The shaft-shaped body is inserted) of the front surface and rear surface of the strip | belt-shaped decoration part 3 are exposed.
This configuration has an advantage that the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 can be moved easily and reliably because the turn-up operation can be performed with the thumb and the index finger sandwiching the turn portions of both the front and rear surfaces of the strip-shaped decorative piece 3.
Needless to say, the moving operation window 5 may be formed not only on one side of the card body 1 but also on both sides as shown in FIG.

  The guide member 6 can be omitted when the belt-like decorative piece 3 has a strong waist. In this case, when the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is made of a transparent base material, it may be attached to the inner surface of the back surface of the card body 1 as background forming means and card body reinforcing means. In this embodiment, the decorative portion 31 applied to the belt parallel portions on the front and rear sides of the belt-shaped decorative piece 3 is visually recognized from the opening 2 and further drawn on the member 6 as the background forming means and the card body rear surface portion reinforcing means behind it. Since the decorated portion 60 is visually recognized at the same time, a scene with a triple depth can be created by the expression method of the decorated portion 31. Alternatively, the background forming means may be provided in the middle of the parallel part of the endless belt.

FIG. 9 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, the guide means 4 is not a shaft but comprises a flat board 42 having a parallel guide surface 420 having a deflection preventing effect, and is located between the front and rear parallel parts of the endless belt-like strip-shaped decorative piece 3. At least one of the upper and lower sides is fixed to the upper and lower surface portions 1b and 1b of the card body 1, and only the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is slid.
The flat board has a width that reaches the vicinity of the side surface of the card body 1, and the flat board has a curved end to reduce resistance when the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is shifted and fed. At the same time, the friction coefficient of the entire surface is small. A moving operation window 5 for shifting the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is provided on the side of the card body 1.
The flat board 42 functions also as a guide and core material, so that the card becomes strong, and the background decoration 60 is applied to the board surface to provide an appropriate background function when the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is transparent. be able to.

  The card assembling method of the present invention is arbitrary, but, for example, a box with an open top surface is formed on the side surface and the back surface, a bearing means is attached inside the box, and a separately produced strip-shaped decorative piece as shown in FIG. 3 and the guide means 4 are loaded into the open box, and the front surface piece is attached to make it easy. Since the card of the present invention is flat as a whole, it can be delivered as it is by mail or Takkyubin (registered trademark).

Explaining the operation of the embodiment, the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 built in the card main body 1 is exposed from the opening 2 so that the stationary decorative portion 31 can be viewed and enjoyed. In this state, if the thumb or forefinger is positioned on the movement operation window 5 and is shifted while pressing the surface of the turn portion of the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 exposed here, the guide means 4 in the turn portion, for example, the shaft-like body rotates. At the same time, since the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is turned while being guided by the shaft-shaped body, the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 slides reliably and smoothly. When the guide means 4 is a non-rotating type, only the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 moves by moving the flat part of the finger to the left or right while pressing the exposed surface of the strip-shaped decorative piece 3. To do.

Since the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is provided with a large number of decorative portions 31 in series, different decorative portions 31 appear one after another in the opening 2 and are hidden downstream in the rotational direction. Therefore, it is possible to visually recognize the change in the scene as if it were a movie. 8 (a) to 8 (d) show an example of this. A decorative portion 31a of a scene where fish, turtles, etc. are swimming underwater appears by the movement of the strip-shaped decorative piece 3, followed by a dolphin and a watch. The decorative part 31b representing the divers who appear is displayed, and the decorative part 31c representing the scene that one of the divers approaches while waving his hand appears. Appears. If the belt-like decorative piece 3 is further moved in this state, the message decoration portion 31d fades out and returns to the underwater scene, so that it can be enjoyed as if watching a movie.

When the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is made of a transparent film, the decorative portion 60 of the guide member 6 (including the case of the background forming means / card body reinforcing means) is visually recognized through a film portion other than the decorative portion. Therefore, when the strip-shaped decorative piece 3 moves continuously, a stereoscopic image having a depth can be visually recognized.

What is shown is a few examples of the present invention, and includes various modifications without being limited thereto.
1) Although the embodiment is a summer greeting, it is applied to various greeting cards such as Christmas cards. For example, on a Christmas card, you can draw a scene of flying in the sky until you get to a house with Santa Claus on a reindeer.
2) The opening 2 may be provided not only on the front surface but also on the rear surface side. In this way, two people on the front side and the back side can enjoy a moving message at the same time.

3) The strip-shaped decorative piece 3 is not limited to an endless belt, and may be a wound screen type. For example, by fixing the end portions of the strip-shaped decorative pieces 3 to the left and right shaft-shaped bodies and rotating the shaft-shaped body in the same direction, the strip-shaped decorative pieces are fed out from one of the shaft-shaped bodies, and the other shaft-shaped body It is good also as a structure wound around.
4) The opening 2 may be provided with a transparent film cover, and an opening / closing door piece may be pivotally attached to the opening.
5) Each decorative part may be made visible in a dark place using fluorescent paint or luminescent paint. Alternatively, a light may be arranged in the card body so as to be turned on or blinked. Further, an acoustic means may be arranged so that a sound is emitted along with the movement of the strip-shaped decorative piece 3.
