DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to, for example, a notebook, an address book, and various other bound booklets, and more particularly, to a booklet having a step portion which becomes an index by a cut in a front edge portion. The present invention relates to a stamping plate for stamping a step portion of the booklet, a stamping device for stamping using the stamping plate, and a method for manufacturing the booklet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, in loose-leaf notebooks, address books, various books, notebooks, etc., an index projecting outward from the front edge of the front edge of another page is attached to a partition page or the like. . Since a plurality of the indexes are provided and arranged so as to be vertically shifted for each index, a page is opened by putting a finger on a portion of the target index to open the page. Could be opened immediately.

[0003] Further, not a loose-leaf type book, but also a bound booklet, a dictionary or the like also has an incision index in which an arc-shaped incision is made in the front foreground portion for each group of corresponding items. Are known. In this notch index, a recess is formed in the front fore edge of the booklet for each page group corresponding to each item, and the target page group can be immediately opened by putting a finger on this recess. Is available.

[0004] In the bound booklet, a notch is formed at the side edge of the front edge side for each group of pages from the first page so that the length along the side edge is gradually reduced. As a result, a stepped step is formed, and in each step of the stepped step, the first part is used as an index. Such a booklet is used, for example, as an address book or the like. In each of the steps of the step-like steps, for example, the first letter of each line of the 51 letters of the AIWAO such as a line, a line, and the like, and the alphabet Etc. are assigned.

[0005] In such an address book, for example, the uppermost step of the stair-like step is pressed from above with a finger, and then the finger is slid down on the step to lower the step. By moving the page and stopping the finger at the target index to open the page, the target page group can be easily opened by the cut index. However, in the step index as described above,
Since the finger is moved in such a manner as to slide on the index, there is a problem that the index portion is easily stained by hand marks and the like and that the index portion is damaged due to frequent finger rubbing. That is, the paper is made of a large number of fibers and has a large number of irregularities on the surface thereof, so that the paper is in a state where dirt easily adheres. Further, the paper becomes soft or thin due to the cutting of the fibers when rubbed.

Therefore, it is conceivable to form a coating of, for example, a synthetic resin on the portion of the index, thereby making it difficult for dirt to adhere and providing durability against rubbing with a finger. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the index of a partition paper used in a loose-leaf notebook or other files, a resin film to be attached to the index portion is commercially available.

[0007] Further, in a book or address book in a bound state, the above-mentioned step-like steps are formed and used as an index. Is known in which a film is formed by coating a resin serving as an index with a resin. By forming a resin coating on the index part as described above, it prevents fingers etc. from directly touching the part of the paper that becomes the index, prevents dirt from hand marks and damage to the paper due to rubbing, for a long time Over this, the aesthetic appearance of the index portion can be ensured and durability can be imparted.

[0008]

However, when films are pasted one by one on the index portion as described above, it takes a lot of time and effort, and the user can use the booklet of his / her own. There is not much problem when a film is attached to the index, but if a film is attached at the stage of commercializing the booklet, the cost of the booklet increases. On the other hand, when the index portion is coated with a resin, an expensive machine dedicated for coating the resin is required, and high equipment costs are required.

In a booklet in which the above-described stepped step portion is provided as an index, if the index portion is in the state of paper before being bound, it is relatively easy to apply a resin film or coat the resin. However, after the paper is in the form of a booklet, it is difficult to apply a resin film or coat the resin, and the cost of equipment becomes large even in automation or the like. In addition, if a resin film is formed on the index portion in a paper state, the resin film can be formed by printing, and an existing printing machine can be used. However, relatively thin booklets such as address books are bound by saddle stitching.
When the paper that becomes each page is bound, on the front edge side,
The center page of each page is in the most protruding state, and is retracted toward the outside (the cover side and the back cover side) from the center, so that the front edge side is cut after binding the paper. , The front fore edge is aligned.

That is, in such a booklet, since the position of the front side edge of each page is determined in the state of being bound and cut, the index is arranged at the stage of the paper before being bound. Even if a resin film is formed on the front side edge of a page, misalignment occurs at the stage of bookbinding, that is, at the stage of cutting the front side edge. Therefore, it is necessary to form a resin film on the index portion after bookbinding in order to cleanly finish a booklet having a stepped index, and to form a resin film on the bound booklet as described above. Then, a relatively expensive dedicated facility is required, and the facility cost is increased.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a booklet in which a coating is formed on a stepped index portion which can be manufactured relatively inexpensively, and a coating which is easily applied to the index portion of the booklet. An object of the present invention is to provide a foil stamping plate, a foil stamping apparatus, and a booklet manufacturing method that can be formed.
