【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、単片用紙を折り用ミシン目において、二つ折り、あるいは三つ折りする単片用紙折り畳み装置に関し、特に、控片を設けた単片用紙に適用して好適な、一対の引き込みローラと、一対の折りローラとを備えるとともに、それぞれ突き当て板を設けた上下対の第１及び第２の各ガイド板を備えた単片用紙折り畳み装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来におけるこの種の単片用紙折り畳み装置は、一対の引き込みローラで引き込んだ単片用紙を、上下対となった第１ガイド板内に案内してその先端を第１の突き当て板に突き当てて所定の折り部で折り曲げ、この折り曲げ部分を、引き込みローラの一方と折りローラの一方とが対となって挟んで移送して二つ折り状態とし、二つ折り状態の用紙を、上下対となった第２ガイド板内に案内して折り曲げ端を第２の突き当て板に突き当て、この第２の突き当て板の位置によってそのまま、あるいはさらに他の折り部で折り曲げ、一対の折りローラで移送して、二つ折り状態のまま、あるいは三つ折り状態として、排出するものである。
【０００３】
ところで、控片を有する単片用紙を処理対象とする場合には、控片をあらかじめ切断分離しないと、単片用紙折り畳み装置にかけることはできなかった。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このため、控片を切断分離するスリッタ装置と、単片用紙折り畳み装置とを別途用意しなければならず、両装置を離れた場所に配置すると、作業効率が劣る一方、両装置を近接配置するには、広いスペースが必要になるという不都合があった。
【０００５】
本発明は、このような不都合を解消し、作業効率を向上するするとともに、広いスペースを確保できない事業所等でも設置可能な単片用紙折り畳み装置を提供することを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この目的を達成するために本発明の請求項１に記載した単片用紙折り畳み装置は、単片用紙に設けた控片を単片用紙から切断分離するためのスリット刃を備えるとともに、切断分離した控片を落下するよう導く落下ガイド部材を設け、前記落下ガイド部材を、単片用紙を一対の引き込みローラに向けて移送する移送経路における前記控片対応部分に上端が突出するとともに、この上端に突き当たった控片をスリット刃側の面に沿って落下するよう導くべく下方に向けて伸びる落下ガイド板で構成し、加えて、落下した控片を収納する収納箱のような収納部を設けたことを特徴とする。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の折り畳み装置に折り畳んだ用紙の重ね合わせ接着面を圧着する圧着装置を付設してなる単片用紙折り畳み圧着装置に適用した場合の好適な実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。ここにおいて、図１は単片用紙折り畳み接着装置の外観を示す概略的な斜視図、図２は折り畳み装置の内部機構を示す概略的な側面図、図３は同じく概略的な平面図、図４は同じく三つ折り動作を示す動作説明図、図５は同じく二つ折り動作を示す動作説明図、図６は圧着装置の内部機構を示す概略的な側面図、図７は単片用紙の概略的な平面図である。
【０００８】
はじめに、処理対象である単片用紙の構成の一例を図７に基づいて説明する。単片用紙１０１は、三つ折り葉書用の用紙であり、各折り用ミシン目１０２，１０３で、宛名記載片１０４と、情報記載片１０５，１０６とに区画され、これら三片１０４，１０５，１０６の下には、切り取り線１０７を境に控片１０８を設けている。この単片用紙１０１は請求書となるもので、各片１０４，１０５，１０６の表面（図７図示面）にはあらかじめ所定事項を印刷あるいは印字し、情報記載片１０６の裏面には、図示してはいないが、開封方法をあらかじめ印刷している。
【０００９】
そして、控片１０８を切り取り線１０７で切り取った後、折り用ミシン目１０２で宛名記載片１０４と情報記載片１０５の裏面同士を折り重ね、折り用ミシン目１０３で各情報記載片１０５，１０６の表面同士を折り重ねる。図示してはいないが、これら重ね合わせ面には、あらかじめ接着後に剥離可能な感圧性接着剤を塗布しており、単片用紙１０１を三つ折りした後、加圧して前記重ね合わせ面を剥離可能に接着するものである。
【００１０】
なお、処理対象となる単片用紙１０１は、二つ折り用でもよく、この場合には、折り用ミシン目１０２を境に連接した、宛名記載片１０４と、情報記載片１０５とで構成することができる。さらに、単片用紙１０１の用途が葉書用に限らないことはもちろんである。
【００１１】
続いて、単片用紙折り畳み圧着装置の構成を説明する。図１に示すように、単片用紙折り畳み圧着装置１は、折り畳み装置２と、圧着装置３とからなる。折り畳み装置２は、図２及び図３に示すように、用紙幅に応じて対向間隔を調節できるように、ガイド孔４に沿って互いの接離方向に移動可能な一対の挿入ガイド５ａ，５ｂを備えた用紙挿入台６を有し、この用紙挿入台６上に所定状態でセットした単片用紙１０１を、ピックアップコロ７ａ，７ｂ，７ｃによって折り畳み装置２内に引き込んで移送する。
【００１２】
ピックアップコロ７ａ，７ｂ，７ｃに続いて、控片１０８を切り取り線１０７で切断するための上下一対のスリット刃８ａ，８ｂを設けている。これらスリット刃８ａ，８ｂは、回転軸方向に互いに接離可能に設けられており、接触状態にあるとスリット可能であるが、離反状態にあるとスリット不能に構成されている。したがって、この折り畳み装置２では控片を有しない単片用紙の折り畳み処理も可能である。
【００１３】
切断した控片１０８の移送経路には、落下ガイド部材である落下ガイド板９を、その上端が前記移送経路に突出するよう設けている。この落下ガイド板９は、湾曲して下方に向かった後、直状に伸びて収納部たる控片収納箱１０に達している。そして、落下ガイド板９の上端に突き当たった前記控片１０８を、この落下ガイド板９のスリット刃８ｂ側に導いて下方に落下させ、前記控片収納箱１０内に収納するよう構成している。
【００１４】
上下一対のスリット刃８ａ，８ｂに続いて、軸方向に等間隔をおいて配置した６個のローラをそれぞれ有する一対の引き込みローラ１１ａ，１１ｂと、同じく６個のローラをそれぞれ有する一対の折りローラ１２ａ，１２ｂを設け、前記引き込みローラ１１ａと前記折りローラ１２ａは、図２上時計方向に回転し、前記各引き込みローラ１１ｂと前記各折りローラ１２ｂは、図２上反時計方向に回転するよう構成している。
【００１５】
さらに、各引き込みローラ１１ａ，１１ｂで引き込んだ単片用紙１０１を第１突き当て板１３に突き当てて、折り用ミシン目１０２での折り動作を開始する上下一対の第１ガイド板１４ａ，１４ｂを設けている。この上下一対の第１ガイド板１４ａ，１４ｂの先端部は、図２及び図３で理解できるように、前記各引き込みローラ１１ａ，１２ａの間隔部分では、これら各引き込みローラ１１ａ，１２ａに対応する位置まで延出している。
【００１６】
また、互いに対接する引き込みローラ１１ｂと折りローラ１２ａとが対をなして前記折り用ミシン目１０２部分を挟み込み、折りを確実なものとして上下一対の第２ガイド板１５ａ，１５ｂに導き、第２突き当て板１６に突き当てて、折り用ミシン目１０３での折り動作を開始し、各折りローラ１２ａ，１２ｂで前記折り用ミシン目１０３での折りを確実なものとして送り出すよう構成している。前記上下一対の第２ガイド板１５ａ，１５ｂの先端部も、図３で理解できるように、上述した第１ガイド板１４と同様に、前記各引き込みローラ１１ｂ，１２ｂの間隔部分では、これら各引き込みローラ１１ａ，１２ａに対応する位置まで延出している。
【００１７】
なお、各突き当て板１３，１６は、各ガイド板１４ａ，１４ｂ，１５ａ，１５ｂに沿って移動可能に設けられており、折り用ミシン目１０２，１０３の位置に応じて位置決めする。そして、第２突き当て板１６は、三つ折りの場合には、図２及び図４に示すように、第２ガイド板１５ａ，１５ｂの奥端側にセットする一方、二つ折りの場合には、図５に示すように、第２ガイド板１５ａ，１５ｂの前端側にセットするものである。
【００１８】
さらに、一対の折りローラ１２ａ，１２ｂに続いて、所定状態に折り畳んだ単片用紙１０１を圧着装置３に移送するための並設した２本の移送ベルト１７ａ，１７ｂを設けている。これら移送ベルト１７ａ，１７ｂの移送終端には、移送コロ１８ａ，１８ｂを設け、適正な状態で折り畳んだ単片用紙１０１を圧着装置３に送り込むよう構成している。
【００１９】
圧着装置３は、図６に示すように、一対の圧着ローラ１９ａ，１９ｂを備えており、これら圧着ローラ１９ａ，１９ｂを通過する際に、折り畳んだ単片用紙１０１に所定の圧を加えて、重ね合わせ面を接着し、三つ折り葉書２１とするものである。また、図１に示す調整つまみ２０によって、紙厚に応じて前記圧着ローラ１９ａ，１９ｂの対向間隔を調整可能に構成している。
【００２０】
続いて、本実施形態における単片用紙の折り畳み接着動作を説明する。まず、三つ折りの場合を説明するが、この場合には、上述したように、第２突き当て板１６を第２ガイド板１５ａ，１５ｂにおける奥端側にセットしておく。そして、図７に示す単片用紙１０１を、図１〜図３に示す用紙挿入台６上に所定状態でセットし、折り畳み装置２及び圧着装置３を始動すると、単片用紙１０１はピックアップコロ７ａ，７ｂ，７ｃによって折り畳み装置２内に引き込まれる。
【００２１】
折り畳み装置２内に引き込まれた単片用紙１０１は、上下一対のスリット刃８ａ，８ｂによって切り取り線１０７で控片１０８が切断され、切断された控片１０８は、落下ガイド板９のスリット刃８ｂ側に導かれて下方に落下し、控片収納箱１０内に収納される。この控片収納箱１０内の控片１０８は、適宜量溜まったところで取り出されるものである。
【００２２】
一方、控片１０８が切断され、宛名記載片１０４と情報記載片１０５，１０６とになった単片用紙１０１は、図４（ａ）に示すように、各引き込みローラ１１ａ，１１ｂの回転駆動力で上下一対の第１ガイド板１４ａ，１４ｂ内に導かれて、先端が第１突き当て板１３に突き当てられ、図４（ｂ）に示すように、折り用ミシン目１０２での折り動作が始まる。
【００２３】
次いで、図４（ｃ）に示すように、折り用ミシン目１０２部分が、互いに対接する引き込みローラ１１ｂと折りローラ１２ａとによって挟み込まれ、折りを確実なものとして、上下一対の第２ガイド板１５ａ，１５ｂに導かれ、第２突き当て板１６に突き当てられる。さらに、前記引き込みローラ１１ｂと前記折りローラ１２ａとによる単片用紙１０１の移送が続くと、折り用ミシン目１０３での折り動作が開始する。
【００２４】
そして、図４（ｄ）に示すように、各折りローラ１２ａ，１２ｂで前記折り用ミシン目１０３部分を挟み込むとともに、宛名記載片１０４の折り用ミシン目１０２とは反対側端も挟み込んで、三つ折り状態とするとともに、折りを確実なものとし、移送ベルト１７ａ，１７ｂに向けて送り出す。
【００２５】
この三つ折り動作において、各ガイド板１４ａ，１４ｂ，１５ａ，１５ｂの先端が各ローラ１１ａ，１１ｂ，１２ａ，１２ｂの間隔部分では、各ローラ１１ａ，１１ｂ，１２ａ，１２ｂと対応する位置まで延出しているので、単片用紙１０１を確実、かつ円滑に各ガイド板１４ａ，１４ｂ，１５ａ，１５ｂ内に導くことができる。
【００２６】
所定の三つ折り状態に折り畳んだ単片用紙１０１は、移送ベルト１７ａ，１７ｂで移送され、圧着装置３に送り込まれる。そして、一対の圧着ローラ１９ａ，１９ｂによって所定の圧が加えられ、重ね合わせ面が接着して、三つ折り葉書２１となる。
【００２７】
なお、単片用紙を二つ折りする場合は、上述したように、第２突き当て板１６を第２ガイド板１５ａ，１５ｂにおける前端側にセットして、折り動作を開始する。単片用紙は、控片がスリット刃８ａ，８ｂで切断され、落下ガイド板９に導かれて控片収納箱１０に収納される一方、図５（ａ）に示すように、各引き込みローラ１１ａ，１１ｂの回転駆動力で上下一対の第１ガイド板１４ａ，１４ｂ内に引き込まれて、先端が第１突き当て板１３に突き当てられ、図５（ｂ）に示すように、折り用ミシン目での折り動作が開始される。
【００２８】
次いで、図５（ｃ）に示すように、折り用ミシン目部分が、互いに対接する引き込みローラ１１ｂと折りローラ１２ａとによって挟み込まれ、折りを確実なものとして二つ折り状態で上下一対の第２ガイド板１５ａ，１５ｂ内に導かれ、第２突き当て板１６に突き当てられる。
【００２９】
そして、第２突き当て板１６で移送方向が変換され、図５（ｄ）に示すように、各折りローラ１２ａ，１２ｂで前記折り用ミシン目部分を挟み込んで、移送ベルト１７ａ，１７ｂに向けて送り出す。
【００３０】
この二つ折り動作においても、各ガイド板１４ａ，１４ｂ，１５ａ，１５ｂの先端が各ローラ１１ａ，１１ｂ，１２ａ，１２ｂの間隔部分にまで延出しているので、単片用紙を確実に各ガイド板１４ａ，１４ｂ，１５ａ，１５ｂに導くことができる。
【００３１】
なお、本発明は上述した実施形態に限られず、例えば、落下ガイド部材は、ガイド板のような板状ではなく、複数の棒状部材からなるものでもよい。また、控片収納箱１０のような収納部を折り畳み装置２の外部に設け、この外部の収納部に落下ガイド部材によって控片を導くよう構成してもよい。さらに、各ガイド板１４ａ，１４ｂ，１５ａ，１５ｂや各突き当て板１３，１６の構成も上述したものに限らない。またさらに、圧着装置３は必ずしも付設する必要はない。
【００３２】
【発明の効果】
以上詳細に説明したところで明らかなように、請求項１に記載した発明によれば、単片用紙から切断分離した控片を確実に収納部内に収納できるので、単片用紙からあらかじめ控片を切断分離しておく必要がなく、作業が効率的になるとともに、装置の占有空間も狭くてすみ、また、装置の構成が簡潔で、より小型化が可能になるという効果を奏する。

In this tri-folding operation, the leading ends of the guide plates 14a, 14b, 15a, and 15b extend to positions corresponding to the rollers 11a, 11b, 12a, and 12b at intervals between the rollers 11a, 11b, 12a, and 12b. Therefore, the single piece paper 101 can be reliably and smoothly guided into the guide plates 14a, 14b, 15a, and 15b.
[0026]
The single-sheet paper 101 folded in a predetermined three-fold state is transferred by the transfer belts 17 a and 17 b and sent to the pressure bonding device 3. Then, a predetermined pressure is applied by the pair of pressure rollers 19a and 19b, and the overlapping surfaces are bonded to form a tri-fold postcard 21.
[0027]
When folding a single piece of paper in half, as described above, the second butting plate 16 is set on the front end side of the second guide plates 15a and 15b and the folding operation is started. The single piece paper is cut by the slit blades 8a and 8b, guided to the drop guide plate 9, and stored in the holding piece storage box 10. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11b is drawn into the pair of upper and lower first guide plates 14a and 14b by the rotational driving force of the upper and lower ends, and the leading end is abutted against the first abutting plate 13. As shown in FIG. The folding operation is started.
[0028]
Next, as shown in FIG. 5C, the folding perforation portion is sandwiched between the drawing roller 11b and the folding roller 12a that are in contact with each other, and a pair of upper and lower second guides are folded in a folded state to ensure folding. It is guided into the plates 15 a and 15 b and is abutted against the second abutting plate 16.
[0029]
Then, the transfer direction is changed by the second abutting plate 16, and as shown in FIG. 5 (d), the folding perforations are sandwiched between the folding rollers 12a and 12b and directed toward the transfer belts 17a and 17b. Send it out.
[0030]
Even in the folding operation, the leading ends of the guide plates 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b extend to the gaps between the rollers 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b. , 14b, 15a, 15b.
[0031]
In addition, this invention is not restricted to embodiment mentioned above, For example, a fall guide member may consist of a some rod-shaped member instead of plate shape like a guide plate. Further, a storage unit such as the holding piece storage box 10 may be provided outside the folding device 2, and the holding piece may be guided to the external storage unit by a drop guide member. Further, the configurations of the guide plates 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b and the abutting plates 13, 16 are not limited to those described above. Furthermore, the crimping device 3 is not necessarily required.
[0032]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, according to the invention described in claim 1, since the cutting piece cut and separated from the single piece of paper can be reliably stored in the storage portion, the cutting piece is cut in advance from the single piece of paper. it is not necessary to separate, with work becomes efficient, seen to be smaller space occupied by the device, also the configuration of the device is concise, an effect that more downsizing is possible.
