Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a photo album mount for creating a photo album by applying a laminate film after placing a photo print.
[0002]
[Prior art]
It is well known to retain and protect photographic prints by placing a photographic print on a mount and then covering it with a transparent film. Such album mounts are widely used because they can easily store photographic prints, but there is a step between the photographic prints and the mount, creating a space where air remains even when covered with film. This detracts from aesthetics.
[0003]
In order to avoid such a step between the photographic print and the mount, the size of the photographic print is set on both sides of the base mount processed into a left and right fold as disclosed in, for example, JP-A-11-70759. In addition, a decorative backing sheet with a cut-out opening is attached, a photographic print is fitted into the cut-out opening, and a plastic film is covered from above to create a flat outer surface.
[0004]
Further, JP-A-11-301157 discloses an album mount in which a protective sheet is pasted on the entire surface of the base mount. In this case, the protective sheet is cut in accordance with the size of the photographic print. A page of a photo album with a flat surface is created by peeling off a portion and inserting a photographic print into the recess formed thereby to paste it.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described album mount of the type disclosed in JP-A-11-70759 needs to be folded so that the left and right decorative mounts face each other in order to be completed as a photo album. Since two decorative mounts are sandwiched between them, the bent portion of the base mount needs to be processed so that the interval between the two decorative mounts can be accurately maintained, which causes an increase in production cost. Further, this type of album mount is thick for one page, and is not suitable for a photo album produced by binding a large number of album mounts.
[0006]
The problem with the album mount according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-301157 is that when a photo album is created by binding a plurality of album mounts to which photo prints are pasted, a straight line is placed on the protective sheet so that each mount can be easily turned. However, in order to make it easier to turn, it is necessary to cut the groove from the protective sheet to the base mount, so that this groove detracts from aesthetics and protects from this part. There is also a problem that the sheet turns.
[0007]
In view of the above situation, the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the surface is flat when a photo print is pasted, and it is easy to turn even when a plurality of sheets are bound and has an aesthetic appearance. Is to provide an excellent album mount.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
To solve the above problems, create photo albums by applying a laminate film after placing a photographic print, in one photo album board according to the present invention, the base mount and binding margin mount adjacent to the base mount and the base mount a base layer made of a the easy bending space formed linearly between the binding margin base sheet, pasted over the surface of the binding margin base sheet through the space for bending easily from the surface of the base mount of the base layer A front side decorative sheet and a back side decorative sheet pasted from the back side of the base mount of the base layer through an easy folding space to the back side of the binding board, and the thickness of both decorative sheets is the thickness of the photographic print Correspondingly, the recessed area for placing the photographic print is formed by the cutout part of the decorative sheet and the base mount
[0009]
In this configuration, the easy-bending portion provided at the boundary between the base mount and the binding margin mount to easily turn the bound album page is covered with a decorative sheet on both the front and back sides together with the base mount and the binding margin mount. Therefore, since the easy-bending part does not appear as an external appearance, the appearance is very clean. Since the decorative sheet has only a thickness equivalent to that of a photographic print, it hardly contributes to the strength against bending, especially when a photo album having a thickness is produced by binding a large number of album mounts of the present invention. But each page is easy to turn.
[0010]
Furthermore, in this photo album mount , the base mount and the binding margin mount are separate, and the easy-folding portion is configured as a space formed between the base mount and the binding margin mount. According to this configuration, the easy folding portion is a gap between the base mount and the binding margin mount, and gives completely free bendability. The orientation of the base mount and binding margin mount is maintained by a decorative sheet attached across them, but since the decorative sheets are attached to both the front side and the back side, the orientation of each mount is sufficiently maintained. In addition, it is easy to bend because of its thin thickness.
[0011]
In order to solve the above-described problem, another photo album mount according to the present invention, in which a photo album is created by applying a laminate film after placing a photo print, a base mount, a binding mount adjacent to the base mount, and the A basic layer in which a thin portion provided as an easily bendable portion linearly at a boundary line between a base mount and the binding stock mount is integrally formed, and a binding stock mount from the surface of the base mount of the basic layer through the thin portion A front side decorative sheet pasted over the surface of the base layer and a back side decorative sheet pasted from the back side of the base mount of the base layer to the back side of the binding board through the easy-bend portion, and the thickness of the two decorative sheets Corresponds to the thickness of the photo print, and the recessed area where the photo print is placed is formed by the cutout portion of the decorative sheet and the base mount. It has been made.
In this photo album mount, the base mount and the binding margin mount are integrated, and the easy folding portion is configured as a thin portion provided at the boundary between the base mount and the binding margin mount. In this configuration, the weak bending part of the thin part formed on the mount is used as an easy folding part, and the rigidity of the entire album board is large even though the easy folding is inferior to that of the previous embodiment, When you make a photo album, you get the advantage of making it solid. Furthermore, the thin-walled portion as the easy-bending portion is covered with the decorative sheet, and the easy-bending portion does not appear as the appearance, so that the appearance is very refreshing.
[0012]
For the cutout portion provided in the decorative sheet to form a recessed area for fitting a photographic print, the decorative sheet is attached to the base mount and the binding backing mount using an adhesive that can be peeled off, and then placed. Although it is possible to adopt a configuration in which a cut is made in accordance with the size of the photographic print to be cut and the cutout is peeled off and the photographic print is fitted into the cutout, the size of the photographic print to be placed in advance If it is known, productivity can be achieved by attaching a decorative sheet with a notch to the size of the photo print to be placed over the surface of the base mount, the easy-bend portion, and the surface of the binding stock. Is convenient.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In FIG. 1, a plurality of photographic album mounts 4 according to the present invention in which photographic prints 10 are inserted are overlapped, and a photo album 100 bound by a front cover 1, a back cover 2, a back cover 3 and a binding tool not shown here. It is shown.
[0014]
The first embodiment of the photo album mount 4 is shown in FIG. 2 as an exploded view, in FIG. 3 (a) as a partial sectional plan view, and in FIG. 3 (b) as a side view. The album mount 4 includes a rectangular base mount 41 as a basic layer 40 and an elongated rectangular binding margin mount 42. The base mount 41 and the binding margin mount 42 are arranged side by side with a certain interval therebetween. Here, the gap space located between the two functions as the easy bending portion 43. A front side decorative sheet 44 is attached over the entire front side of the base mount 41 and the binding margin mount 42 as the basic layer 40, and a back side decorative sheet 45 is also applied over the entire rear side of the base mount 41 and the binding margin mount 42. It is attached. The base mount 41 and the binding margin mount 42 have the same thickness, and the basic layer 40 has the same thickness as a whole.
[0015]
Both decorative sheets 44 and 45 are provided with cutout portions 44a and 45a that match the size of the photographic print 10 to be placed, and the cutout portions 44a and 45a and the front and back surfaces of the base mount 41 are provided. The photographic print 10 is fitted into the formed recess. Since the decorative sheets 44 and 45 have a thickness corresponding to the thickness of the photographic print 10, which is about 2 mm, the level of the surface of the embedded photographic print 10 and the surface of the decorative sheets 44 and 45 are substantially the same, The overall result is a flat surface.
[0016]
Further, as is apparent from this structure, the easy bending portion 43 is configured by a side end face of the base mount 41 and the binding margin mount 42 and a portion partitioned by the front decorative sheet 44 and the back decorative sheet 45. The folding strength is very weak compared to the area of the base mount 41 and the binding margin mount 42, and when the binding margin is bound and bound at the binding margin mount 42, the easy folding portion 43 is easy to be folded and consequently easily turned. The advantage is given.
[0017]
After the photographic print 10 is inserted, a transparent film sheet 46 is laminated on the entire surface of the front decorative sheet 44 and the entire rear decorative sheet 45 by a laminating machine. The photo album mount 4 completed by laminating is overlapped, aligned on the free side end surface of the binding margin mount 42, and the other three sides are cut and inserted between the cover 1 and the back cover 3. Bookbinding as a photo album 100.
[0018]
When a simple binding tool is used, a binding hole may be provided in the binding margin board 42 in advance.
[0019]
A second embodiment of the photo album mount 4 according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 4 as an exploded view, in FIG. 5 (a) as a partial sectional plan view, and in FIG. 5 (b) as a side view. The difference from the previous embodiment is that the base mount 41 and the binding margin mount 42 constituting the basic layer 40 are integrated with the same mount, and as a result, the easy-bending portion 43 is also integrated with the base mount 41. It is configured as a linear thin portion provided at the boundary of the mount 42. The thin portion 43 can be formed on the front surface and / or the back surface by press stamping or notching, and in any case, the bending strength is preferably weaker than other portions. Moreover, since the processing trace of the thin-walled portion 43 is covered with the decorative sheets 44 and 45 in any case, it is not necessary to take aesthetic considerations, so that the processing can be performed at low cost. Since the other members and the process of bookbinding as the photo album 100 are the same, the description thereof is omitted here.
[0020]
In the description of the embodiment described above, the notches 44a and 45a provided on the decorative sheets 44 and 45 are cut out in accordance with the size of the photographic print 10 to be placed before being attached to the base mount 41 and the binding substitute mount 42. After processing, the decorative sheets 44 and 45 are attached to the base mount 41 and the binding backing mount 42 using an adhesive that can be peeled off, and then cut according to the size of the photographic print 10 to be placed. Notches 44a and 45a may be provided. In this case, it is possible to place a photographic print having a size according to the preference of the end user.
[0021]
The above-described album mount 4 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape because the base mount 41 serving as the basic layer 40 is rectangular. Of course, the base mount 41 has another shape, for example, a square or a polygon. In the present invention, the shape of the album mount 4 and, as a result, the overall shape of the album is not limited to a specific shape. Further, the number of the cutout portions 44a or 45a provided in the decorative sheet 44 or 45 is not limited to a plurality, and only one cutout portion may be provided in one decorative sheet.
