Description

There is an application for exception to loss of novelty.

The present invention relates to a date marker and a date marker unit for indicating a date on a calendar.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a display device that is used in close contact with the surface of a calendar in order to indicate the date on the calendar (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
This display device is a suction cup-like device made of a flexible soft resin material, and by pressing the display device against the surface of the calendar and creating a near-vacuum state between the display device and the calendar, the calendar can be Can be attached to the surface.
Note that this indicator is formed in a ring shape to enclose and indicate the date on the calendar.

In addition, there are known devices in which a magnetic display device is attached to the calendar surface by attaching an iron plate to the back of the calendar mount or by incorporating a ferromagnetic material such as iron powder into the calendar mount. (For example, see Patent Document 2.)

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2004-212630 Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2008-126654

However, in the case of the indicator disclosed in Patent Document 1, if the resin material deteriorates and hardens, reducing its flexibility, the indicator may not stick to the surface of the calendar. .

Further, as in the calendar of Patent Document 2, when an iron plate is attached to the back side of the mount of the calendar, the weight increases, making the calendar unsuitable for wall hanging.
Furthermore, when a ferromagnetic material (iron powder) is contained in the mount of a calendar, the cost of the mount increases, so there is a problem in that the manufacturing cost of the calendar increases.

Furthermore, when adjusting the position of a display device that indicates the date on a calendar, there is a desire to be able to move the display device with a fingertip so as to slide it on the paper surface of the calendar, but the suction cup-like method described in Patent Document 1 The indicator could not be slid.
Furthermore, although it is possible to slide the magnetic display device of Patent Document 2 on the paper surface of the calendar, it is difficult to slide, so while holding the calendar side with one hand, it is possible to slide it on the paper surface of the calendar. The display device had to be moved, which was cumbersome.

An object of the present invention is to provide a date marker and a date marker unit that can suitably indicate a calendar date.

In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1,
A date marker affixed to calendar paper on which calendar dates are written and pointing to the dates,
The date marker is a transparent electrostatic adsorption sheet that has an opening approximately in the center and is at least partially colored, and is attached by static electricity so that it can slide on the surface of the calendar paper. It is characterized by

According to the invention described in claim 1, a date marker is pasted on calendar paper, and the date on the calendar can be indicated with the date marker.
If the date marker uses an electrostatic adhesion sheet that is attached to the calendar paper using static electricity, it will not leave any marks on the calendar paper and will not damage the surface of the calendar paper. Even in cases where the date marker is used to switch the date every day or to repeatedly change the schedule, the date on the calendar can be suitably indicated.

If the date marker is attached to calendar paper using static electricity, the position of the date marker can be adjusted by moving the date marker with a fingertip.
In particular, this date marker has an opening approximately in the center and is approximately donut-shaped (approximately ring-shaped), so place your fingertips or nails on the edge of the opening and slide the date marker. It's easier to do.
Specifically, although the date marker is thin, the material is thick, and the date marker is attached to the surface of the calendar paper with a step corresponding to the thickness, so the opening of the date marker The date marker can be suitably slid by placing the tip of a finger or a nail on the step on the edge of the section.
For example, if the date marker does not have an opening, fingertips or nails may slip on the surface of the date marker, making it difficult to slide the date marker.
On the other hand, if the date marker is approximately donut-shaped (approximately ring-shaped), you can put your fingertips or nails on the step at the edge of the opening, so you can slide the date marker appropriately. becomes possible.

Further, since the date marker has an opening, deformation of the date marker from curling can be suppressed.
If the date marker does not have an opening, the date marker may warp if the resin sheet used as the material expands or contracts due to deterioration or the like. If the date marker warps and loses its flatness, it is undesirable because it will easily peel off from the calendar paper.
On the other hand, by forming an opening in the approximate center of the date marker, the date marker is less likely to warp and the flatness of the date marker is easily maintained, allowing the date marker to be stably attached to calendar paper. It can be worn and used for a long time.

Further, by adjusting the size of the opening of the date marker, the contact area where the date marker comes into close contact with the calendar paper can be adjusted, and the electrostatic attraction force of the date marker can be adjusted.
If the electrostatic attraction force of the date marker is too strong, it may become difficult to slide the date marker. Specifically, date markers that do not have openings have a strong electrostatic adsorption force, and may adhere to calendar paper.
Therefore, for example, a date marker of relatively large size may have a relatively large opening, and a date marker of relatively small size may have a relatively small opening.
By doing so, the date marker will have a suitable electrostatic adsorption force, will be suitably affixed to the calendar paper, and the date marker can be suitably slid.

The invention according to claim 2 is the date marker according to claim 1, which includes:
The colored portion of the date marker is characterized by being colored translucent and having light transmittance.

According to the invention described in claim 2, the date marker has an uncolored transparent part and a colored translucent part, so that the date marker can be attached to the date part of the calendar paper. You can also see the date through the date marker.

The date marker is one of a plurality of date markers cut out concentrically from an electrostatic adsorption sheet of a predetermined size.

According to the invention recited in claim 3, the date marker is cut out concentrically from an electrostatic adhesion sheet of a predetermined size, so that the electrostatic adhesion sheet used as the material for the date marker can be efficiently utilized. material waste can be minimized.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a date marker and a date marker unit according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, although various limitations that are technically preferable for implementing the present invention are attached to the embodiments described below, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.
The date marker of this embodiment is attached to a calendar paper on which calendar dates are written, and is used to indicate the date.

FIG. 1(a) is a plan view showing a date marker unit which is a product form (unused state) of the date marker of this embodiment, and FIG. 1(b) is a plan view showing the date marker unit of the present embodiment when the date marker is used. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1(a), the date marker unit 1 of this embodiment includes a plurality of date markers 21 and 22 arranged concentrically on a transparent electrostatic attraction sheet 20, at least a portion of which is colored. It is something that
The electrostatic adsorption sheet 20 has annular colored areas arranged concentrically thereon, and a plurality of date markers 21 and 22 are provided concentrically in correspondence with the annular colored areas.
Note that the colored portions of the electrostatic adsorption sheet 20 are colored translucent with light transmittance.
Date markers 21 and 22 are cut out from such a date marker unit 1, and used by pasting them onto calendar paper in order to indicate the date of the calendar with the date markers 21 and 22.
The date markers 21 and 22 will be explained in detail below.

As shown in FIG. 1(b), the date markers 21 and 22 of this embodiment have openings 21a and 22a at approximately the center, have a donut shape, and are at least partially colored. A transparent electrostatic adsorption sheet is used.
The relatively large size date marker 21 has a frame-shaped colored portion on the outer edge side, and the relatively small size date marker 22 has a circular band-shaped colored portion.

Specifically, the date markers 21 and 22 of this embodiment are a plurality of date markers cut out concentrically from an electrostatic attraction sheet 20 of a predetermined size, as shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b). (21, 22).
For example, as shown in FIG. 1(a), three concentric cut lines (C1, C2, C3) are formed on an electrostatic attraction sheet 20 in which two annular colored areas are concentrically formed. By doing so, two approximately doughnut-shaped date markers 21 and 22 can be cut out, as shown in FIG. 1(b).
In this case, the large outer cut line C1 corresponds to the outer edge of the date marker 21, the inner cut line C2 corresponds to the outer edge of the date marker 22, and the small cut line C3 on the center side corresponds to the opening 22a of the date marker 22. Equivalent to.
Note that instead of cutting out the center portion 23 along the small cut line C3 on the center side to create the opening 22a of the date marker 22, a small hole corresponding to the opening 22a is formed in the electrostatic adsorption sheet 20 in advance. You may also leave it there.

The colored portions of the date markers 21 and 22 are colored translucent and have light transmittance.
If the date markers 21 and 22 have a colored translucent part and an uncolored transparent part, even if they are pasted on the date part of the calendar paper 10, the dates can be seen through the date markers 21 and 22. (See Figures 3 and 4).
Note that in this embodiment, the date markers 21 and 22 having a colored translucent part and an uncolored transparent part are explained as an example, but the date markers 21 and 22 are semitransparent whose entire surface is colored. It may be. Even if the entire surface of the date markers 21, 22 is colored and translucent, the date can be seen through the date markers 21, 22.

In this embodiment, the electrostatic adsorption sheet 20 used as the material for the date markers 21 and 22 is a polypropylene resin sheet that is charged with static electricity.
As described later, the date markers 21 and 22 are attached to the calendar paper 10 using static electricity so that they can slide on the surface.
Although not shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the date markers 21 and 22 are attached to the back side of the date marker unit 1 (electrostatic adsorption sheet 20 and date markers 21 and 22) before use. It is preferable to arrange a protective sheet to protect the surface.

Here, the calendar 100 to which the date markers 21 and 22 are attached will be explained.
For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the calendar 100 includes a plurality of bound calendar sheets 10 on which calendar dates are written and a binding tool 30.

The calendar paper 10 is Western paper with calendar information printed on its front side.
The plurality of calendar sheets 10 are bound at their upper edges with a binding tool 30.
This calendar 100 is, for example, a one-month calendar, in which 12 sheets of calendar paper 10 from January to December are bound with a binding device 30, and used calendar sheets 10 for the previous month are attached one by one. It is possible to separate it.

The binding tool 30 is made of, for example, a metal material, a resin material, or a paper material, and holds a plurality of sheets of calendar paper 10 in a detachable manner.
Note that the binding tool 30 is not limited to one that holds the calendar sheets 10 in a separable manner, but is, for example, a binding tool that has a plurality of ring parts and rotatably holds a plurality of calendar sheets 10. It may be a binding tool that binds the used calendar paper 10 so that it can be moved from the front side to the back side.

Here, a wall-mounted calendar is explained as an example of the calendar 100 to which the date markers 21 and 22 are attached, but the calendar to which the date markers 21 and 22 are attached is arbitrary. etc.

Next, how to use the date markers 21 and 22 of this embodiment will be explained.
The date markers 21 and 22 are indicators that are attached to the front surface of the calendar paper 10 using static electricity in order to indicate one of the dates on the calendar 100.
For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a date marker 21 can be attached to calendar paper 10 for use.
The date marker 21 here is affixed to the "16" portion of the calendar paper 10 and indicates "May 16th".
Here, a relatively large size date marker 21 was selected and used to match the date size of the calendar 100 (calendar paper 10), but a relatively small size date marker 22 may be added to the calendar according to the user's preference. It may also be used by pasting it on the paper 10.

The date marker 21 is attached to the calendar paper 10 using static electricity so that it can slide on the surface thereof.
For example, if the date marker 21 is used to indicate the current date, when changing the date, for example, as shown in FIG. , the date indicated by the date marker 21 can be easily switched.
Note that sliding the date marker 21 is not limited to changing the current date. For example, if you are using the date marker 21 as a mark to highlight a date you have a plan to remember, you can also use your fingertips to switch the date indicated by the date marker 21 in response to changes in the plan. It can be moved by sliding.

In particular, the date marker 21 of this embodiment has an approximately donut shape (approximately a ring shape) and has an opening 21a approximately in the center, so that the edge of the opening 21a can be hung with a fingertip or nail. This makes it easy to slide the date marker 21.
Specifically, the date marker 21 (22) is thin but has a thickness of the material (polypropylene resin sheet), and the date marker 21 (22) is placed on the calendar with a step corresponding to the thickness. Since it is pasted on the surface of the paper 10, slide the date marker 21 (22) suitably by placing your fingertips or nails on the step at the edge of the opening 21a (22a) of the date marker 21 (22). can be done.
For example, if the date marker does not have an opening, fingertips or nails may slip on the surface of the date marker, making it difficult to slide the date marker.
On the other hand, with the date marker 21 (22) of this embodiment, you can put your fingertips or nails on the step at the edge of the opening 21a (22a), so you can slide the date marker 21 (22) suitably. It becomes possible to move it.

In this way, with the date markers 21, 22 and the date marker unit 1 of this embodiment, the date markers 21, 22 are pasted on the calendar paper 10, and the date of the calendar 100 is indicated with the date markers 21, 22. can do.
The date markers 21 and 22 affixed to the calendar paper 10 by electrostatic force (electrostatic adsorption force) can be slid on the surface of the calendar paper 10 using a fingertip. The date on the calendar 100 indicated by can be easily changed.
In this way, by moving the date markers 21 and 22 every day and highlighting the current date, you can check the date by looking at the calendar 100 to which the date markers 21 and 22 are attached. Misunderstandings and misunderstandings regarding dates can be prevented.

Further, the date markers 21 and 22 of this embodiment have openings 21a and 22a in their substantially central portions, so that deformation of the date markers 21 and 22 from curling can be suppressed.
If the date marker does not have an opening, the date marker may warp if the resin sheet used as the material expands or contracts due to deterioration or the like. If the date marker warps and loses its flatness, it is undesirable because it will easily peel off from the calendar paper 10.
As a result of intensive studies, the inventors of the present invention found that by forming the openings 21a, 22a approximately in the center of the date markers 21, 22, the date markers 21, 22 are less likely to warp. We came up with the idea of date markers 21 and 22.
The date markers 21 and 22 of this embodiment, which are less likely to warp, can be stably attached to the calendar paper 10 and can be used for a long period of time.

In addition, the date markers 21 and 22 of this embodiment are arranged such that the size of the openings 21a and 22a are adjusted to adjust the contact area where the date markers 21 and 22 come into close contact with the calendar paper 10. , 22 can be adjusted.
If the electrostatic attraction force of the date markers 21, 22 is too strong, it may become difficult to slide the date markers 21, 22. For example, a date marker that does not have an opening has a strong electrostatic adhesion force and may come into close contact with the calendar paper 10.
Therefore, the date marker 21 having a relatively large outer diameter has a relatively large opening 21a, and the date marker 22 having a relatively small outer diameter has a relatively small opening 22a.
By doing this, the date marker 21 and the date marker 22 each have a suitable electrostatic adhesion force, so that they are suitably affixed to the calendar paper 10, and the date markers 21 and 22 can be suitably slid. It can be moved.

Furthermore, the date markers 21 and 22 of this embodiment are cut out concentrically from the electrostatic adsorption sheet 20 of a predetermined size, so that the electrostatic adsorption sheet 20, which is the material for the date markers, can be used efficiently. material waste can be minimized.

Although it has been described above that the date markers 21 and 22 are attached to the calendar paper 10 to make it easier to recognize the current date, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, characters or designs may be printed on the date markers 21 and 22, and the date markers 21 and 22 may be used by pasting them on the calendar paper 10 in order to emphasize the dates on the calendar using the characters and designs. good.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, if the date markers 21 and 22 are made of electrostatic adhesion sheets with "Birthday" printed on them, the date marker 21 is used as a mark to emphasize the date of an anniversary such as a birthday. can do. Furthermore, if the date markers 21, 22 are made of electrostatic adsorption sheets with "SALE DATE" printed on them, the date markers 21, 22 can be used as marks to emphasize the date of the sale, which is often forgotten.

Note that the characters and designs printed on the date markers 21 and 22 (electrostatic adhesion sheets) are optional, such as "vacation", "payday", "deadline", "meal party/drinking party", "cram school/study", etc. Various date markers 21 and 22 may be prepared for various purposes such as schedules to be remembered.
That is, the number of date markers 21 and 22 attached to calendar paper 10 is not limited to one type, and two or more types of date markers 21 and 22 may be attached to calendar paper 10 and used.
Even when the date markers 21 and 22 are used for schedule management in this manner, the date markers 21 and 22 can be slid in response to schedule changes, and can also be removed from the calendar paper 10.

The date markers 21 and 22 of this embodiment are not limited to being sold alone or as a novelty item, but may be made into a set with the calendar 100.
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the company name, telephone number, URL, or logo of the company that produced the calendar 100 for advertising may be printed on the date markers 21 and 22 (electrostatic adsorption sheets). It's okay.
Furthermore, if the calendar 100 is a calendar of anime characters or popular talents, illustrations of the characters, photographs of the talents, or the like may be printed on the date markers 21 and 22 (electrostatic adsorption sheets).

In the above embodiment, the two date markers 21 and 22 are cut out concentrically from the electrostatic adsorption sheet 20 of a predetermined size, but the present invention is not limited to this. More than one date marker may be cut out.

Further, in the above embodiment, a plurality of date markers 21 and 22 are cut out concentrically from the electrostatic adsorption sheet 20, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the electrostatic adsorption sheet 20 It is also possible to cut out and use each of the plurality of date markers arranged in .

Further, in the above embodiment, the circular annular date markers 21 and 22 such as a substantially donut shape or a substantially ring shape have been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The shape of the marker 22 is arbitrary, and it is sufficient that the marker has an opening approximately in the center, such as a frame shape.
For example, the date markers 21 and 22 may have a rectangular frame shape that corresponds to the date squares on the calendar paper 10, or a frame shape that imitates the outline of a mouse, cat, etc. to correspond to a calendar of anime characters, etc. It may have.

Furthermore, the calendar 100 to which the date markers 21 and 22 are attached is not limited to being a one-month calendar, and the number of months printed on one page is arbitrary, for example, two months, three months, etc. It may be a calendar on which minutes, six months, or 12 months are printed.
Particularly, when calendars for multiple months are printed on one page of the calendar paper 10, the current month's calendar to which the date markers 21 and 22 pointing to the current date are attached can be quickly recognized.

Furthermore, if the date markers 21 and 22 are attached to the calendar paper 10 using static electricity, no trace of the date markers 21 and 22 will be left on the calendar paper 10 and the calendar paper 10 will not be damaged. , it can be conveniently used repeatedly for daily date changes and frequent schedule changes.
For example, date markers that are sealed using adhesive are known (one example is the technique disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 6-81759). Of course, it is not possible to do so, and it is also difficult to reapply the date marker. For example, if a date marker that has been sealed is reattached, marks from peeling off the sticker may be left on the calendar paper 10, which may damage the paper surface, which is not preferable.
Furthermore, even if date markers are made with adhesive sealing material that can be reapplied, the adhesive strength may decrease as dust and dirt adhere to the adhesive surface as the adhesive is repeatedly reapplied. Therefore, it is not suitable for repeated use.

Further, in this embodiment, a polypropylene resin sheet is used as the electrostatic adsorption sheet that is the material for the date markers 21 and 22, but the electrostatic adsorption sheet that is the material for the date markers 21 and 22 is not limited to this. A resin sheet made of any material can be used as long as it has electrostatic adsorption properties.

In addition, it goes without saying that the specific detailed structure and the like can also be changed as appropriate.
