Description

  This device folds a single-size paper of a specified standard size when a letter or the like is sent out, so that a folded envelope that can be stored in the same size as the single-sheet paper is folded in three. Regarding paper.

  Generally, when a letter is presented, it is necessary to prepare a letter paper and an envelope for storing the letter paper separately. Several types of envelopes were prepared in advance, and they were selected according to the size of the stationery.

  On the other hand, in recent years, personal computers and printers have become widespread, and there are many scenes where a personal computer software is used to create and print a document on a standard paper such as A4 or B5 and mail it. In such a case, it is convenient if an envelope can be created with the same standard paper instead of preparing an envelope separately.

  Under such circumstances, a folding envelope sheet as shown in Patent Document 1, for example, has been proposed.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-33851

  The envelope paper disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a size for folding a postcard-sized postcard at a predetermined position of a substantially square envelope paper whose one side is about 1.5 times the vertical length of a government postcard. This is folded appropriately so that government postcards can be stored.

  However, the envelope paper shown here mainly relates to a mail order guide / envelope paper and a paper provided with an application postcard, and its application has been limited. Moreover, it was printed in advance by a company or the like, and it was not general and could not be easily created and used at home.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and forms an envelope by using standard paper (A4, B5, etc.) that can be easily obtained in a general household, and has the same size. The envelope paper which can shape | mold the envelope which can be accommodated by folding in three is proposed.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention arranges a rectangular frame having a size that is one size larger than the size of the standard paper folded in three at the long side, at a predetermined angle at the center of the standard paper. A means of providing cut lines along the extending direction of each side of the rectangular frame from the four corners of the rectangular frame toward each side of the standard paper was adopted.

  The envelope paper having such a configuration is formed by folding the periphery along each side of the rectangular frame. At this time, the size of the rectangular frame is the size of the envelope storage unit.

  And the size of the rectangular frame is slightly longer than the length of the short side of the rectangular frame when the standard paper is folded in three on the long side, and the length of the long side of the rectangular frame is The method of slightly longer than the length of the short side of the paper was adopted.

  As a result, the standard paper can be stored in an envelope in a state of being folded in three.

  Specifically, the rectangular frame is arranged such that the intersection of the diagonal lines of the standard paper and the diagonal line of the rectangular frame coincide with each other, and the diagonal line of the rectangular frame is parallel to the long side of the standard paper. The means of arranging at such an angle was adopted.

  Since the intersections of the diagonal lines of the standard paper and the rectangular frame coincide with each other, they are arranged at rotationally symmetric positions and can be folded parallel to each other when the periphery is folded along each side of the rectangular frame.

  On the other hand, the cut line is provided such that the angle formed with each side of the rectangular frame is slightly smaller than a right angle from the four corners of the rectangular frame toward each side of the standard paper. did.

  In addition, a means is also adopted in which the cut line is provided at an angle that is substantially parallel to the short side of the standard paper.

  Thereby, since the folding piece folded in order to shape | mold an envelope does not interfere with each other, it becomes a beautiful envelope. Further, by providing some cut lines at an angle that is substantially parallel to the short side of the standard paper, the shape of the folded piece becomes more beautiful.

  And the means of previously printing and providing the rectangular frame and the cut line on standard paper was adopted.

  Thus, the user can form the envelope very easily using the rectangular frame and the cut line as a mark.

  Alternatively, the rectangular frame is provided by embossing, and the cut line is provided so as to be detachable by a micro sewing machine.

  It is not necessary to print a rectangular frame or a cut line, and it may be provided as a mark. Moreover, if it is provided by a micro sewing machine, it can be easily separated.

  Furthermore, a means of printing a desired pattern or character string on the front surface and / or back surface of the standard paper was adopted.

  When it is provided on the front surface, an envelope decorative effect can be expected, and when it is provided on the back surface, an effect of preventing the contents from being seen through can be expected as a background pattern.

  And the means that the said standard paper is the magnitude | size of A4 or B5 was employ | adopted.

  Practicality is enhanced by forming an envelope with a generally used size paper.

  The folding envelope sheet of the present invention according to the above configuration can form an envelope by simply cutting off an extra piece of paper along a cut line provided on a standard sheet and then folding it along a rectangular frame. The size is such that the same standard paper is folded in three and can be stored with a margin. Therefore, since a document and an envelope can be created using only standard paper without preparing a separate envelope, this is an extremely practical and excellent device.

  And since the rectangular frame used as a mark is arranged at the intersection of the diagonal lines of the standard paper, the formed folding pieces are rotationally symmetric, and when folded, the overlapping parts will overlap in parallel with each other. Envelopes can be formed.

  Further, since the cut line is provided at a predetermined angle with respect to the extending direction of each side of the rectangular frame, when the folding pieces are folded, they can be finished beautifully without interfering with each other.

  Further, since the rectangular frame and the cut line are provided in advance by printing, embossing, a micro sewing machine, or the like, it is possible to form an envelope very easily by using it as a mark. When provided with a micro-sewing machine, it can be cut off without using a tool such as scissors, and an envelope can be formed more easily.

  Furthermore, a desired pattern or the like can be printed on the front surface, and a decorative effect can be expected. On the other hand, when a pattern or the like is printed on the back side, an effect of preventing the contents from being seen through as a background pattern can be expected.

  And if this envelope is molded with A4 or B5 paper, it is a standard paper widely used in each company, school, home, etc., so it is highly versatile and economical and highly practical. It will be a thing.

It is a top view of the folding envelope paper which concerns on this invention. It is a geometric explanatory view of a folding envelope paper. It is an expansion | deployment top view of the state which cut off the extra paper piece. It is explanatory drawing which shows the process of shaping | molding an envelope. It is explanatory drawing of the use condition of an envelope, (A) is at the time of sealing of a paper, (B) shows after sealing. It is a top view which shows embodiment which gave the pattern etc. to the folding envelope paper. (A) is a top view of the folding envelope paper which shows another embodiment of a tear line, (B) shows the use condition after sealing.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a folding envelope sheet according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present embodiment, A4 paper will be described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to A standard paper and B standard paper. However, the use of A4 or B5 paper is the most practical and economical, and the completed envelope fits within the size range of the standard mail, so the postage is inexpensive.

  FIG. 1 shows a sheet 1 having a size of A4 (length 297 mm × width 210 mm), and a rectangular frame 2 indicated by a solid line is arranged obliquely at a predetermined angle at the center of the sheet 1. The size of the rectangular frame 2 is one size larger than the size (210 mm × 99 mm) of paper P (shown by a virtual dotted line) obtained by tri-folding the same A4 paper at its long side. . That is, the length of the short side of the rectangular frame 2 is slightly longer than the length of the sheet 1 (A4) that is tri-folded on the long side, and the length of the long side of the rectangular frame 2 is the length of the sheet 1 ( It is slightly longer than the length of the short side of A4). As will be described later, this rectangular frame 2 becomes the size of the envelope storage portion, and each side thereof becomes a fold line 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d.

  Further, cut lines 3, 3,... Shown by broken lines are arranged from each corner of the rectangular frame 2 toward each side of the paper 1. The direction of each of the cut lines 3, 3,... Is basically provided along the direction in which each side (fold line) 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d of the rectangular frame 2 is extended, but it is not necessarily provided at a right angle. In practice, it is preferable that the angle α formed between each side is slightly smaller than the right angle. This is to prevent the folding pieces that are folded to form the envelope from interfering with each other, as will be described later.

  FIG. 2 geometrically explains a more preferable arrangement of the rectangular frame 2 and the cut line 3. In the figure, G indicates a point where two diagonal lines 1a and 1b (indicated by a one-dot chain line) of the sheet 1 intersect. Then, the rectangular frame 2 is arranged by matching the intersection point G with the intersection point of the rectangular frame 2 (the point where the diagonal lines 2e and 2f intersect). At this time, the rectangular frame 2 is arranged at an angle such that one diagonal line 2 e (indicated by a one-dot chain line) is parallel to the long sides 1 c and 1 d of the paper 1.

  The reason why the intersection points G of the diagonal lines of the paper 1 and the rectangular frame 2 are arranged in this manner is that each formed folding piece becomes a rotationally symmetric figure with the diagonal line G as the center, as will be described later. . As a result, the overlapping edges when folded overlap each other in parallel, and a well-balanced beautiful envelope can be formed.

  Next, in FIG. 2, the extended lines of the sides 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d of the rectangular frame 2 are shown by alternate long and short dashed lines, but the cut lines 3 and 3 that start from the corners of the rectangular frame 2 are shown. Are inclined slightly inward from the extended line, that is, the angle α formed between the sides 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d of the rectangular frame 2 is slightly smaller than the right angle. .

  The folding envelope paper according to the present invention is basically provided by printing the rectangular frame 2 (fold lines 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) and the cut lines 3, 3,. It is something to keep. However, since the rectangular frame 2 and the cut line 3 are merely a guide for folding or cutting for forming an envelope, the display method is free and is not particularly limited. That is, for example, an extremely thin solid line or a dotted line may be printed on the paper so as not to be noticeable. For the rectangular frame 2, only the four corners may be displayed in a dot shape or a hook shape as a mark. . Further, without printing, the rectangular frame 2 can be provided by embossing as a fold line, and the cut line can be provided by a micro-sewing machine. In short, the folding position and the cutting position need only be clear.

  Next, FIG. 3 shows a development view of the envelope paper after cutting off an extra piece of paper through the cut line in the paper 1 described above. This excess piece of paper may be cut off with scissors, a cutter or the like, and if a micro-sewing machine is applied, it can be easily cut off along with it. This development is a shape in which folding pieces 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d are continuously provided around the rectangular frame 2, and the opposing folding pieces 4a and 4c, 4b and 4d are rotationally symmetrical with each other. Yes. This surface is assumed to be the front surface.

  Next, the procedure for forming an envelope using this paper will be described with reference to FIGS. As apparent from FIGS. 4A to 4D, the sheet is turned over and the folding pieces 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d are folded along the folding lines 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d. First, as shown in (A) and (B), the smaller folding pieces 4a and 4c are folded inward, respectively, and then as shown in (C), one of the larger folding pieces 4d is folded. Fold in 2d. Then, the folded pieces 4a, 4c, 4d are pasted together with glue, tape, a seal 5 or the like. At this time, since the angle α formed by the cut line 3 and the folding lines 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d is slightly smaller than the right angle, the folding pieces 4a and 4c interfere with the folding piece 4d at the portion of the folding line 2d. There is nothing. In this state (C), a horizontally long envelope in an opened state is formed. Further, when the folded piece 4b is folded, the folded piece 4b and the folded piece 4d overlap each other, and as shown in FIG. 4D, an adhesive margin is formed and sealing becomes easy.

  FIG. 5A shows a state in which the paper P having a size obtained by folding the standard paper having the same size into three is stored. As described above, since the size of the rectangular frame 2 set in advance is slightly larger than the size of the paper P that is a size obtained by folding the standard paper in three, the paper P can be stored with a margin. Of course, other sheets such as L-size photos can be stored. And if it seals like FIG. 5 (B), it can be mailed as a sealed letter.

  FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the folding envelope paper according to the present invention. That is, a desired pattern or character string (hereinafter referred to as a pattern or the like) is printed on the entire surface of the paper. The figure shows an example in which a staggered pattern is printed. This pattern 6 can be expected to prevent the contents from being seen through from the outside as a background pattern if printed on the inner surface of the envelope. On the other hand, if printing is performed on the outer surface of the envelope, a decorative effect can be expected as the background pattern of the envelope. These patterns 6 may be printed in advance together with the rectangular frame 2 and the cut line 3 or are standard paper such as A4, so that the user can freely print them later with a printer or the like. It is also possible to do. Thereby, the utility of this envelope paper can be improved.

  FIG. 7 shows another embodiment relating to the cut line 3. In FIG. 2A, with respect to a part of the cut line 3, the angle formed with the long side of the sides of the rectangular frame 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is an angle α slightly smaller than the right angle. Instead of the provided one, the standard paper 1 is provided at an angle that is substantially parallel to the short sides 1e and 1f of the standard paper 1. When an extra piece of paper is cut off by the cut line 3, the folded piece 4b is shaped as shown in FIG. 5B, giving the user a beautiful and clean impression. Further, as shown in the figure, the cut line 3 may be applied only to one folding piece 4b, or may be applied to both the folding pieces 4b and 4d (shown by broken lines).

  In addition, about the angle (direction) which provides the cut line 3, it is not limited to what was shown to said each embodiment, In the range where the shape of the folding piece formed is practical, each angle is arbitrary. Can be set to
