Description

  The present invention relates to a calendar. Specifically, the present invention relates to a calendar provided with a hanging string for hanging on a wall or the like.

  The wall-mounted calendar is obtained by binding a plurality of calendar papers (that is, calendar booklets) printed on a calendar for one year or in units of two months with a binding frame (header). Of these calendars, if the binding frame is made of metal, part of the binding frame is cut and raised to provide an annular hanging ring part or a hanging string, and the calendar is attached to a nail or hook. It can be hung.

  On the other hand, in order to facilitate the recycling of the calendar and to save the trouble of sorting and collecting the calendar, the number of binding frames made of paper has been increasing recently. In a calendar using a paper binding frame, generally, a round suspension hole is formed in the binding frame, and the calendar is suspended through a nail or the like in the suspension hole.

  However, even though such a hanging hole can hang the calendar on a nail or the like, it cannot be hung on a wide or irregularly shaped hanging tool. Therefore, it is desired to provide a hanging string also on a calendar using a paper binding frame.

  In a calendar using a metal binding frame, both ends of the hanging string are sandwiched between the binding frame and the calendar booklet, and the end of the hanging string is held by the calendar by crimping the binding frame. On the other hand, in the case of a paper binding frame, it cannot be crimped like a metal binding frame, so even if the end of the hanging string is caught in the paper binding frame, However, there is a problem that the end of the hanging string easily comes off the binding frame.

  Therefore, conventionally, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the calendar booklet and the binding frame are sewn and bound with the binding thread in a state where the upper end portion of the calendar booklet is sandwiched between the two folding frames. Both ends are connected outside the binding frame to form a hanging string. However, in such a method, only a thin binding thread can be used as the hanging string, and the material that can be used as the hanging string is limited. In addition, since both ends of the binding thread must be tied by hand, a part of the manufacturing process of the calendar cannot be automated, and the knot appears and the appearance of the calendar is deteriorated.

  Further, in the calendar disclosed in Patent Document 2, a hanging string is tied to the hanging hole. However, when a nail or the like is passed through the hanging hole without using the hanging string, the hanging string is suspended. There is a fault that the string gets in the way. Moreover, the knot of the hanging string appears and the appearance deteriorates.

  Further, in the calendar disclosed in Patent Document 3, the ends of the hanging straps are respectively tied to special hanging tools having spring properties, and these hanging tools are inserted into the ends of a paper binding frame and attached. ing. However, since such a calendar requires a special metal hanging tool, the cost is high and the meaning of using a paper binding frame is lost.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and various design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a calendar 11 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a cross section taken along line XX of FIG.

  A calendar 11 shown in FIG. 1 is formed by bundling a plurality of calendar papers 12 (including a cover) to form a calendar booklet 13 and binding the upper end of the calendar booklet 13 with a binding frame 14. Each calendar paper 12 may have any form as long as a calendar is printed. For example, in the calendar 11 shown in FIG. 1, a calendar is printed in units of two months under a decoration area 12a for printing a decorative photograph or design. A perforation 15 is cut at the upper end of each calendar paper 12 along the lower edge of the binding frame 14.

  In the center of the binding frame 14, a hanging hole 16 is formed for hooking the calendar 11 on a nail or hook. Further, the binding frame 14 is provided with ribs 17 for increasing the strength and making the binding frame 14 difficult to bend.

  As the material of the binding frame 14, paper such as cardboard or biodegradable synthetic paper is used. As the binding frame 14, materials other than paper, such as plastic, can be used as long as they are non-metallic. However, in order to save the trouble of separating and collecting the calendar and to use the calendar as a recyclable resource, the binding frame 14 is used. 14 is also preferably made of paper like the calendar paper 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the binding frame 14 is folded in half and sandwiches the upper end portion of the calendar booklet 13. At the upper end of the calendar booklet 13 (that is, each calendar paper 12), a plurality of adhesive injection holes 19 are opened along the width direction, and hot melt resin filled in the adhesive injection holes 19 or the like. The front side piece (hereinafter referred to as the front piece) 14 a and the back side piece (hereinafter referred to as the back piece) 14 b of the binding frame 14 are bonded to each other by the adhesive 20, and at the same time, the calendar booklet 13 is attached to the binding frame 14. Glued and held.

  As will be described later, the hanging string 18 is bonded to the calendar booklet 13 and the binding frame 14 only at both ends by adhesives 21a and 21b such as hot melt resin. The hanging strap 18 may have a circular cross section, but it is preferable to use one having a flat cross section at least at the end. If the hanging strap 18 has a flat cross section, the bonding area between the hanging strap 18 and the calendar booklet 13 or the binding frame 14 can be increased, and the attachment strength of the hanging strap 18 can be increased.

  The material of the hanging string 18 is not particularly limited as long as it is other than metal, and a fiber-based string, a paper string, a nylon string, or the like can be used. In the illustrated example, a braided string (fiber) having a flat cross section as a whole is used. If the hanging strap 18 is formed of a braided cord, the adhesives 21 a and 21 b are entangled with the unevenness (knitting pattern) of the braided cord, so that the hanging cord 18 is difficult to come off between the calendar booklet 13 and the binding frame 14. .

  Next, a process of bonding the hanging string 18 to the calendar booklet 13 and the binding frame 14 will be described. FIG. 3 is a front view of the upper part of the calendar showing a state where the hanging strap 18 is bonded by the adhesive 21a, and FIG. 4 is a front view of the upper part of the calendar showing a state immediately after the adhesives 20 and 21b are applied.

  When attaching the binding frame 14 and the hanging strap 18 to the calendar booklet 13, first, as shown in FIG. 3, with the binding frame 14 opened, the back upper end of the calendar booklet 13 is overlapped on the inner surface of the back piece 14b. Position. At this stage, the binding frame 14 and the calendar booklet 13 are not yet provided with the hanging holes 16. Further, a melted adhesive 21a such as hot melt resin is applied to a portion of the front upper end of the calendar booklet 13 where the end of the hanging strap 18 is to be bonded. It is preferable that the application location of the adhesive 21 a is a position that does not overlap the adhesive injection hole 19. The end of the hanging strap 18 is overlapped on the place where the adhesive 21a is applied, and the end of the hanging strap 18 is temporarily held by the cured adhesive 21a.

  Next, with the calendar booklet 13, the binding frame 14, and the end of the hanging strap 18 being held, as shown in FIG. 4, the end of the hanging strap 18 and its surroundings are in a molten state such as hot melt resin. The adhesive 21b is applied, and a molten adhesive 20 such as a hot melt resin is applied to a region including the adhesive injection hole 19. The adhesive 20 is applied by skipping the position where the suspension hole 16 is opened. Before the adhesives 20 and 21 b are cured, the front piece 14 a of the binding frame 14 is folded and overlapped on the front upper end portion of the calendar booklet 13. Then, the adhesives 20 and 21b (and the re-melted adhesive 21a) are cured in a state where the binding frame 14 is pressed with pressure.

  As a result, the front piece 14a and the back piece 14b of the binding frame 14 and the upper end of the calendar booklet 13 are joined together by the adhesive 20 filled in the adhesive injection hole 19, and the upper end of the calendar booklet 13 is joined to the binding frame. 14 is bound. The end of the hanging strap 18 is also bonded to the front surface of the calendar booklet 13 and the front piece 14a of the binding frame 14 by the adhesives 21a and 21b. Thereafter, a suspension hole 16 is opened at a predetermined position of the binding frame 14 by punching.

  According to the calendar 11 of the present embodiment, many functions and effects as described below can be achieved. That is, it is only necessary to apply the adhesives 21a and 21b and bond the end of the hanging strap 18 to the calendar booklet 13 and the binding frame 14. Therefore, the hanging strap 18 can be attached to the calendar 11 by a simple process. The manufacturing efficiency of the calendar 11 is improved. In particular, since the end portions of the hanging strap 18 do not have to be connected as in Patent Document 1, the attachment process of the hanging strap 18 is simplified and suitable for automation. In addition, if the same adhesive 21b that is applied to the adhesive injection hole 19 is used as the adhesive 21b for bonding the hanging strap 18, both adhesives 20 and 21b can be applied simultaneously. Furthermore, the manufacturing process of the calendar 11 is simplified.

  In this calendar 11, even if the hanging strap 18 is provided, an increase in cost can be suppressed as much as possible by simplifying the manufacturing process. In particular, since the bracket (hanging tool) as in Patent Document 3 is not required to attach the hanging strap 18 to the calendar 11, the cost of the calendar 11 can be reduced. Furthermore, if the same adhesive as the adhesive 20 applied to the adhesive injection hole 19 is used as the adhesives 21a and 21b for adhering the hanging strap 18, the manufacturing cost of the calendar 11 can be reduced.

  Further, when the paper binding frame 14 and the paper or fiber hanging strap 18 are used, the entire calendar 11 is composed of paper and fiber, and no metal parts are required, so the calendar can be recycled. And the need for separate collection at the time of disposal is eliminated.

  In this calendar 11, the end of the hanging strap 18 is bonded to both the inner surface of the binding frame 14 and the calendar booklet 13, so that the adhesive strength of the hanging strap 18 can be increased and the end of the hanging strap 18 can be increased. The calendar booklet 13 and the binding frame 14 can be bonded by the adhesives 21a and 21b for bonding the binding frame 14, and the attachment strength of the binding frame 14 is also increased. When the hanging strap 18 is formed of a braided string, not only the feeling of the hanging strap 18 is improved, but also the adhesives 21a and 21b for bonding the hanging strap 18 are attached to the hanging strap 18. Since it becomes easy to get entangled, the adhesive strength of the hanging strap 18 is improved. Further, since the end of the hanging strap 18 is arranged so as not to overlap the adhesive injection hole 19, the supply of the adhesive to the adhesive injection hole 19 may be prevented by the end of the hanging strap 18. In addition, poor adhesion between the calendar booklet 13 and the binding frame 14 can be prevented.

  In the calendar 11, the end of the hanging strap 18 is sandwiched between the calendar booklet 13 and the binding frame 14 and is hidden by the binding frame 14. Accordingly, the knot of the hanging strap 18 does not occur as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, and the end of the hanging strap 18 is not visible from the outside, so that the appearance of the calendar 11 is also improved.

  As described above, the calendar 11 has advantages such as simplification of the manufacturing process, suppression of cost increase, improvement of recyclability and separation recovery, improvement of the adhesive strength of the hanging strap, and improvement of the appearance of the calendar. In addition to this, there are also features such that there are few restrictions on the material of the hanging strap 18 (comparison with Patent Document 1), and it does not interfere with the suspension hole 16 (Comparison with Patent Document 2).

  FIG. 5 is a front view showing a form of the calendar 11 when shipped. As shown in FIG. 5, the calendar 11 manufactured as described above is a state in which the hanging string 18 is sandwiched between the calendar booklet 13, that is, the hanging string 18 is placed between the calendar paper 12 and the calendar paper 12. It may be shipped in a sandwiched state.

  As a form of the calendar industry, the calendar is wholesaled from the calendar manufacturer to the calendar agency, and the calendar agency in accordance with the order from the customer, the customer name, product advertisement, etc. in the margin of the calendar or the pre-installed printing space May be additionally printed. At this time, the calendar agent puts the completed calendar in a printing machine and performs additional printing, so if the hanging strap is attached to the calendar, the hanging strap gets in the way. For example, there is a risk that the hanging string may be caught by an operator or the like and come off the calendar or entangled with the printing press.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, if the hanging strap 18 is sandwiched between the calendar booklet 13, the hanging strap 18 does not get in the way even at the calendar agency or other places, and the calendar 11 is handled. Becomes easier.

  The hanging strap 18 may be attached to the calendar 11 after both ends of the hanging strap 18 are attached, and a part of the calendar paper 12 may be passed through the hanging strap 18 and sandwiched between the calendar booklet 13. 18 may be sandwiched between the calendar booklet 13, and then both ends of the hanging string 18 may be attached to the calendar booklet 13 or the binding frame 14.
