Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、単片用紙を折り重ね、重ね合わせ面を互いに剥離可能に接着する単片用紙処理装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、ダイレクトメール等といった郵送等によって送付される送付物においては、差出人が受取人に通知したい情報が所定の用紙に印字されており、そのほとんどが、封筒等に封入、封緘され、受取人に送付されている。
【0003】
また、近年においては、連接された複数片からなり、この複数片が連接部分にて折り畳まれて互いに剥離可能に接着された折り畳み葉書を用いて、差出人が通知したい情報が受取人に通知されることが行われている。このような折り畳み葉書を用いて情報を通知する場合においては、この折り畳み葉書を構成する複数片のうち折り畳まれた際に内面となる領域に掲載された情報が、接着された複数片を剥離しなければ外部から視認可能とはならないため、この領域に受取人にのみ通知したい情報を掲載し、この複数片どうしを剥離可能に接着して送付すれば、受取人にのみ通知したい情報を印刷物によって通知する場合であっても、封書を用いることなく情報を通知することができ、葉書料金で受取人にのみ所定の情報を通知することができる。
【0004】
このように複数片が重ね合わされて互いに接着されてなる紙媒体を作製する装置として、例えば、連続用紙の一方の面に接着用液体を塗布し、その後、連続用紙を接着用液体が塗布された面が内面となるように折り重ねて重ね合わせ面を互いに接着し、さらにその後、連続用紙を単片状に断裁する装置が考えられている(例えば、特許文献1,2参照。)。
【0005】
また、感圧性接着剤が予め塗布された単片用紙に所望の情報を印字し、その後、単片用紙を折り重ねて加圧することにより重ね合わせ面を互いに剥離可能に接着する装置が考えられている(例えば、特許文献3参照。)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、連続用紙の一方の面に接着用液体を塗布し、その後、連続用紙を接着用液体が塗布された面が内面となるように折り重ねて重ね合わせ面を互いに接着し、さらにその後、連続用紙を単片状に断裁する装置においては、所定の情報が連続用紙に印刷されている場合は、複数片が互いに接着されてなる印刷物を作製することはできるが、所定の情報が単片用紙に印刷されている場合は、複数片が互いに接着されてなる印刷物を作製することはできないという問題点がある。
【0008】
また、感圧性接着剤が予め塗布された単片用紙に所望の情報を印字し、その後、単片用紙を折り重ねて加圧することにより重ね合わせ面を互いに剥離可能に接着する場合は、単片用紙が、感圧性接着剤が予め塗布されたものに限定されてしまい、単片用紙の選択の幅が狭まり、それにより、コスト削減を図ることが困難となるとともに、情報を印刷するためのプリンタの種類に制約が生じてしまうという問題点がある。また、感圧性接着剤上に情報が印刷されることになるため、情報が印刷された領域においては接着性が失われてしまい、例えば、カラープリンタ等にて広い範囲に印刷が行われた場合、重ね合わせ面どうしの接着性が低下してしまうという問題点がある。
【0009】
本発明は、上述したような従来の技術が有する問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、任意の種類の単片用紙を用いることができ、かつ、重ね合わせ面どうしの接着性を低下させることなく、単片用紙を折り重ね、重ね合わせ面を互いに剥離可能に接着する単片用紙処理装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0010】
上記目的を達成するために本発明は、
所定の折り線を介して単片用紙を折り重ね、重ね合わせ面を互いに剥離可能に接着する単片用紙処理装置であって、
前記単片用紙を搬送する搬送手段と、
前記搬送手段上の所定の領域に設けられ、該搬送手段上を搬送されてくる単片用紙のうち、該単片用紙の折り方に応じて予め決められた領域に擬似接着材料を塗布する接着材料塗布手段と、
前記搬送手段上の所定の領域に設けられ、前記擬似接着材料が塗布された領域が内面となるように前記折り線を介して前記単片用紙を折り重ねる折り手段と、
前記搬送手段上に設けられ、前記単片用紙の折り方に応じて、前記単片用紙の前記折り線となる領域が前記折り手段にて折られるように前記単片用紙の前記折り手段に対する相対位置を規制する位置規制手段と
前記折り手段にて折り重ねられた単片用紙をさらに折り重ねる場合に、該単片用紙を、前記接着材料塗布手段及び前記折り手段が設けられた搬送経路上に導く搬送経路分岐手段とを有することを特徴とする。
【0011】
また、前記折り手段は、
前記折り線を前記擬似接着材料が塗布された面側から加圧する加圧手段と、
前記単片用紙のうち前記加圧手段によって加圧された部分が挟みこまれていくように構成された2つのローラとを有することを特徴とする。
【0013】
(作用)
上記のように構成された本発明においては、搬送手段上を単片用紙が搬送されていくと、搬送手段上を搬送されてきた単片用紙は位置規制手段によって位置が規制され、その状態にて接着材料塗布手段によって、単片用紙の折り方に応じて予め決められた領域に擬似接着材料が塗布されるとともに、折り手段によって、擬似接着材料が塗布された領域が内面となるように、単片用紙の折り方に応じた折り線を介して単片用紙が折り重ねられる。ここで、位置規制手段においては、単片用紙の折り方に応じて、単片用紙の折り線となる領域が折り手段にて折られるように単片用紙の折り手段に対する相対位置が規制されている。
【0014】
このように、搬送手段上を搬送されてきた単片用紙が、単片用紙の折り方に応じて擬似接着材料が塗布されるとともに折り線を介して折り重ねられて重ね合わせ面どうしが剥離可能に接着されるので、単片用紙を任意の折り方に折り重ねて重ね合わせ面どうしを剥離可能に接着することができ、また、単片用紙の折り方によらずに、重ね合わせ面どうしを接着するために塗布される擬似接着材料を1つの接着材料塗布手段にて単片用紙に塗布することができる。また、情報が印刷された状態の単片用紙を折り重ねることも可能となり、それにより、任意の種類の単片用紙を用いることができるとともに、印刷によって重ね合わせ面どうしの接着性が低下することがなくなる。
【0015】
また、折り手段にて折り重ねられた単片用紙をさらに折り重ねる場合に、該単片用紙を、接着材料塗布手段及び折り手段が設けられた搬送経路上に導く搬送経路分岐手段を設ければ、単片用紙を三つ折り以上に折り重ねることもできる。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。
【0017】
図1は、本発明の単片用紙処理装置の実施の一形態を示す図である。
【0018】
本形態は図1に示すように、単片用紙1が格納され、格納された単片用紙1を単片用紙1の搬送経路に供給する給紙部10と、プリンタ(不図示)にて情報が印刷された単片用紙1が供給される給紙口11と、給紙部10あるいは給紙口11から供給された単片用紙1を搬送するためのローラ21a,21b,22a,22b,23a,23b,24a,24b及びガイド30a〜30cと、ガイド30cと対向して設けられ、給紙部10あるいは給紙口11から供給され、ローラ21a,21b,22a,22b,23a,23b,24a,24b及びガイド30a〜30cによって搬送されてきた単片用紙1のうち、単片用紙1の折り方に応じて予め決められた領域に水性の擬似接着材料を塗布する接着材料塗布部40と、単片用紙1のうち、単片用紙1の折り方によって決められた折り線を、擬似接着材料が塗布された面側から加圧する加圧する加圧部材42と、互いに対向して設けられ、加圧部材42によって単片用紙1が加圧された場合に、単片用紙1のうち加圧部材42によって加圧された部分が挟みこまれていくように互いに異なる方向に回転するローラ41a,41bと、ガイド30c上に設けられ、単片用紙1の折り方に応じて、単片用紙1の折り線となる領域が加圧部材42にて加圧されるように単片用紙1の加圧部材42に対する相対位置を規制する位置規制手段であるストッパ80と、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1の搬送経路を、単片用紙1の折り方に応じて分岐する経路分岐フラッグ50と、経路分岐フラッグ50にて搬送経路が規定された単片用紙1を搬送するためのローラ25a,25b及びガイド30d、並びにローラ26a,26b及びガイド30eと、ローラ25a,25b及びガイド30dによって搬送されてきた単片用紙1を搬送方向平行に断裁するスリッタ60と、スリッタ60にてカットされた単片用紙1が格納されるスタッカ70とから構成されている。なお、ローラ21a,21b,22a,22b,23a,23b,24a,24b及びガイド30a〜30cによって搬送手段が構成されており、また、加圧部材42とローラ41a,41bとによって折り手段が構成されている。
【0019】
以下に、上記のように構成された単片用紙処理装置の動作について、給紙部10に格納された単片用紙1が供給され、供給された単片用紙1が折り重ね合わされて重ね合わせ面が剥離可能に接着される場合を例に挙げて説明する。
【0020】
まず、給紙部10あるいは給紙口11から供給される単片用紙1を二つ折りに折り重ね、重ね合わせ面を互いに剥離可能に接着する場合の動作について説明する。
【0021】
図2は、図1に示した単片用紙処理装置において単片用紙1を二つ折りに折り重ねる場合の動作を説明するための図である。
【0022】
給紙部10に格納された単片用紙1が供給されると、供給された単片用紙1は、ローラ21a,21b,22a,22b,23a,23b,24a,24bの回転によってガイド30a,30bに沿ってガイド30c上に搬送され、搬送方向先端部がストッパ80に当接することによりガイド30c上にて停止する(図2(a))。ここで、ストッパ80の位置は、単片用紙1の折り方に応じて予め決められており、後の処理にて単片用紙1の折り線が加圧部材42によって加圧される位置に単片用紙1が停止するようにガイド30c上に設けられている。本例の場合は、単片用紙1が、二つ折りに折り重ねられるための折り線(単片用紙1の搬送方向略中央部分)が加圧部材42によって加圧される位置に停止するようにストッパ80がガイド30c上に設けられる。
【0023】
また、単片用紙1が停止した領域は、その一部が接着材料塗布部40と対向しており、接着材料塗布部40において、単片用紙1のうち、折り線を介して搬送方向下流側となる領域に擬似接着材料2が塗布される(図2(b))。これは、本例における単片用紙1が、折り線を介して二つ折りに折り重ねられるものであるため、折り線を介した一方の領域に擬似接着材料2を塗布しておけば、その後、単片用紙1を折り線を介して二つ折りにした場合に、重ね合わせ面が互いに剥離可能に接着されることになるからである。
【0024】
単片用紙1のうち折り線を介して搬送方向下流側となる領域に擬似接着材料2が塗布された後、加圧部材42によって、単片用紙1の折り線となる領域が、擬似接着材料2が塗布された面側から加圧されるとともに、互いに対向して設けられたローラ41a,41bが、単片用紙1のうち加圧部材42によって加圧された部分が挟みこまれていくように互いに異なる方向に回転し、それにより、単片用紙1は、加圧部材42によって加圧された領域が折り線となり、かつ、擬似接着材料2が塗布された面が内面となるようにローラ41a,41b間を折り重ねられながら搬送されていく(図2(c))。これにより、単片用紙1は、折り線を介して折り重ねられ、重ね合わせ面が互いに剥離可能に接着されることになる。
【0025】
また、本例は、単片用紙1を二つ折りにするものであるため、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送されてきた単片用紙1を、再度折り重ねる必要がない。そのため、経路分岐フラッグ50が、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1をローラ25a,25b及びガイド30d側に導くような状態となり(図2(d))、それにより、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1がローラ25a,25b及びガイド30d側に搬送されていく。
【0026】
その後、ローラ25a,25bの回転によってガイド30dに沿って搬送されてきた単片用紙1は、スリッタ60によって搬送方向平行に断裁される。
【0027】
図3は、図1に示したスリッタ60における単片用紙1の断裁処理を説明するための図であり、(a)は断裁前の状態を示す図、(b)は断裁後の状態を示す図である。
【0028】
ローラ25a,25bの回転によってガイド30dに沿って搬送されてきた単片用紙1を、例えば二等分に分割する場合は、図3(a)に示すような単片用紙1が搬送されてくると、スリッタ60において、搬送されてきた単片用紙1が、図3(b)に示すように搬送方向平行に二等分に断裁され、搬送されていく。
【0029】
スリッタ60にて断裁された単片用紙1は、その後、ガイド30dに沿って搬送されていき、スタッカ70に格納される。
【0030】
次に、給紙部10あるいは給紙口11から供給される単片用紙1をZ状に三つ折りに折り重ね、重ね合わせ面を互いに剥離可能に接着する場合の動作について説明する。
【0031】
図4は、図1に示した単片用紙処理装置において単片用紙1をZ状に三つ折りに折り重ねる場合の動作を説明するための図である。
【0032】
給紙部10に格納された単片用紙1が供給されると、供給された単片用紙1は、ローラ21a,21b,22a,22b,23a,23b,24a,24bの回転によってガイド30a,30bに沿ってガイド30c上に搬送され、搬送方向先端部がストッパ80に当接することによりガイド30c上にて停止する(図4(a))。ここで、ストッパ80の位置は、単片用紙1の折り方に応じて予め決められており、後の処理にて単片用紙1の折り線が加圧部材42によって加圧される位置に単片用紙1が停止するようにガイド30c上に設けられている。本例の場合は、単片用紙1が三つ折りに折り重ねられるため、単片用紙1には2つの折り線(単片用紙1を搬送方向について略三等分した部分)が存在するが、単片用紙1をZ状に折り重ねる場合は、単片用紙1が、2つの折り線のうち、搬送方向上流側の折り線が加圧部材42によって加圧される位置に停止するようにストッパ80がガイド30c上に設けられる。なお、単片用紙1の折り線は、三つ折りの場合に単片用紙1の搬送方向を略三等分した部分になるとは限らず、例えば、単片用紙1をZ状に折り重ねた場合に中央となる領域に印刷された情報を外部から視認可能とするために、両端となる部分の幅を狭くする場合もある。
【0033】
また、単片用紙1が停止した領域は、その一部が接着材料塗布部40と対向しており、接着材料塗布部40において、単片用紙1のうち、2つの折り線に挟まれた領域に擬似接着材料2が塗布される(図4(b))。これは、本例における単片用紙1が、折り線を介してZ状に三つ折りに折り重ねられるものであるため、まず、2つの折り線に挟まれた領域と、折り線を介して該領域と隣接する2つの領域のうち一方の領域とを、2つの折り線に挟まれた領域に塗布された擬似接着材料2によって剥離可能に接着するためである。
【0034】
単片用紙1のうち2つの折り線に挟まれた領域に擬似接着材料2が塗布された後、加圧部材42によって、単片用紙1の2つの折り線のうち、搬送方向上流側の折り線となる領域が、擬似接着材料2が塗布された面側から加圧されるとともに、互いに対向して設けられたローラ41a,41bが、単片用紙1のうち加圧部材42によって加圧された部分が挟みこまれていくように互いに異なる方向に回転し、それにより、単片用紙1は、加圧部材42によって加圧された領域が折り線となり、かつ、擬似接着材料2が塗布された面が内面となるようにローラ41a,41b間を折り重ねられながら搬送されていく(図4(c))。これにより、単片用紙1は、2つの折り線のうち搬送方向上流側の折り線を介して折り重ねられ、Z状となる重ね合わせ面のうち一方の重ね合わせ面が互いに剥離可能に接着されることになる。
【0035】
また、本例は、単片用紙1を三つ折りにするものであるため、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送されてきた単片用紙1を、再度折り重ねる必要がある。そのため、経路分岐フラッグ50が、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1をローラ26a,26b及びガイド30eを介して、接着材料塗布部40、加圧部材42及びローラ41a,41bが設けられた領域に導くような状態となり(図4(d))、それにより、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1が、2つの折り線のうち搬送方向上流側の折り線を介して折り重ねられ、Z状となる重ね合わせ面のうち一方の重ね合わせ面が互いに剥離可能に接着された状態でローラ26a,26b及びガイド30e側に搬送されていく(図4(e))。
【0036】
ローラ26a,26b及びガイド30e側に搬送された単片用紙1は、ローラ23a,23b,24a,24bの回転によってガイド30bに沿って再度ガイド30c上に搬送され、搬送方向先端部がストッパ80に当接することによりガイド30c上にて停止する(図4(f))。ここで、ガイド30c上に再度搬送されてきた単片用紙1は、三つ折りされるものであるものの、2つの折り線のうち一方の折り線にて既に折り重ねられた状態であるため、ストッパ80は、単片用紙1が、2つの折り線のうち、まだ折り重ねられていない折り線が加圧部材42によって加圧される位置に停止するようにガイド30c上に設けられる。なお、図4(a)に示した状態と図4(f)に示した状態とにおけるストッパ80の位置制御は不図示の制御部にて行われる。
【0037】
また、単片用紙1が停止した領域は、その一部が接着材料塗布部40と対向しており、接着材料塗布部40において、単片用紙1のうち、まだ折り重ねられていない折り線を介して搬送方向下流側となる領域に擬似接着材料2が塗布される(図4(g))。これは、本例における単片用紙1が、折り線を介してZ状に三つ折りに折り重ねられるものであり、かつ、2つの折り線のうち一方の折り線を介して既に折り重ねられているため、2つの折り線に挟まれた領域と、折り重ねられていない領域とを擬似接着材料2によって剥離可能に接着するためである。
【0038】
単片用紙1のうち、まだ折り重ねられていない折り線を介して搬送方向下流側となる領域に擬似接着材料2が塗布された後、加圧部材42によって、単片用紙1の2つの折り線のうち、まだ折り重ねられていない折り線となる領域が、擬似接着材料2が塗布された面側から加圧されるとともに、互いに対向して設けられたローラ41a,41bが、単片用紙1のうち加圧部材42によって加圧された部分が挟みこまれていくように互いに異なる方向に回転し、それにより、単片用紙1は、加圧部材42によって加圧された領域が折り線となり、かつ、擬似接着材料2が塗布された面が内面となるようにローラ41a,41b間を折り重ねられながら搬送されていく(図4(h))。これにより、単片用紙1は、2つの折り線を介してZ状に三つ折りに折り重ねられ、重ね合わせ面が互いに剥離可能に接着されることになる。
【0039】
ローラ41a,41b間を搬送されていく単片用紙1は、Z状に三つ折りに折り重ねられた状態であるため、再度折り重ねる必要がない。そのため、経路分岐フラッグ50が、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1をローラ25a,25b及びガイド30d側に導くような状態となり(図4(i))、それにより、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1がローラ25a,25b及びガイド30d側に搬送されていく。
【0040】
その後、ローラ25a,25bの回転によってガイド30dに沿って搬送されてきた単片用紙1は、スリッタ60によって搬送方向平行に断裁される。
【0041】
図5は、図1に示したスリッタ60における単片用紙1の断裁処理を説明するための図であり、(a)は断裁前の状態を示す図、(b)は断裁後の状態を示す図である。
【0042】
例えば、ローラ25a,25bの回転によってガイド30dに沿って搬送されてきた単片用紙1から不要な部分を削除する場合は、図5(a)に示すような単片用紙1が搬送されてくると、スリッタ60において、図5(b)に示すように、搬送されてきた単片用紙1から不要な部分が断裁され、搬送されていく。
【0043】
スリッタ60にて断裁された単片用紙1は、その後、ガイド30dに沿って搬送されていき、スタッカ70に格納される。
【0044】
次に、給紙部10あるいは給紙口11から供給される単片用紙1をC状に三つ折りに折り重ね、重ね合わせ面を互いに剥離可能に接着する場合の動作について説明する。
【0045】
図6は、図1に示した単片用紙処理装置において単片用紙1をC状に三つ折りに折り重ねる場合の動作を説明するための図である。
【0046】
給紙部10に格納された単片用紙1が供給されると、供給された単片用紙1は、ローラ21a,21b,22a,22b,23a,23b,24a,24bの回転によってガイド30a,30bに沿ってガイド30c上に搬送され、搬送方向先端部がストッパ80に当接することによりガイド30c上にて停止する(図6(a))。ここで、ストッパ80の位置は、単片用紙1の折り方に応じて予め決められており、後の処理にて単片用紙1の折り線が加圧部材42によって加圧される位置に単片用紙1が停止するようにガイド30c上に設けられている。本例の場合は、単片用紙1が三つ折りに折り重ねられるため、単片用紙1には2つの折り線(単片用紙1の搬送方向を略三等分した部分)が存在するが、単片用紙1をC状に折り重ねる場合は、単片用紙1が、2つの折り線のうち、搬送方向下流側の折り線が加圧部材42によって加圧される位置に停止するようにストッパ80がガイド30c上に設けられる。
【0047】
また、単片用紙1が停止した領域は、その一部が接着材料塗布部40と対向しており、接着材料塗布部40において、単片用紙1のうち、搬送方向下流側の折り線を介して搬送方向下流側の領域に擬似接着材料2が塗布される(図6(b))。これは、本例における単片用紙1が、折り線を介してC状に三つ折りに折り重ねられるものであるため、まず、2つの折り線に挟まれた領域と、折り線を介して該領域と隣接する2つの領域のうち一方の領域とを剥離可能に接着するためである。
【0048】
単片用紙1のうち、搬送方向下流側の折り線を介して搬送方向下流側の領域に擬似接着材料2が塗布された後、加圧部材42によって、単片用紙1の2つの折り線のうち、搬送方向下流側の折り線となる領域が、擬似接着材料2が塗布された面側から加圧されるとともに、互いに対向して設けられたローラ41a,41bが、単片用紙1のうち加圧部材42によって加圧された部分が挟みこまれていくように互いに異なる方向に回転し、それにより、単片用紙1は、加圧部材42によって加圧された領域が折り線となり、かつ、擬似接着材料2が塗布された面が内面となるようにローラ41a,41b間を折り重ねられながら搬送されていく(図6(c))。これにより、単片用紙1は、2つの折り線のうち搬送方向下流側の折り線を介して折り重ねられ、C状となる重ね合わせ面のうち一方の重ね合わせ面が互いに剥離可能に接着されることになる。
【0049】
また、本例は、単片用紙1を三つ折りにするものであるため、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送されてきた単片用紙1を、再度折り重ねる必要がある。そのため、経路分岐フラッグ50が、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1をローラ26a,26b及びガイド30eを介して、接着材料塗布部40、加圧部材42及びローラ41a,41bが設けられた領域に導くような状態となり(図6(d))、それにより、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1が、2つの折り線のうち搬送方向下流側の折り線を介して折り重ねられ、C状となる重ね合わせ面のうち一方の重ね合わせ面が互いに剥離可能に接着された状態でローラ26a,26b及びガイド30e側に搬送されていく(図6(e))。
【0050】
ローラ26a,26b及びガイド30e側に搬送された単片用紙1は、ローラ23a,23b,24a,24bの回転によってガイド30bに沿って再度ガイド30c上に搬送され、搬送方向先端部がストッパ80に当接することによりガイド30c上にて停止する(図6(f))。ここで、ガイド30c上に再度搬送されてきた単片用紙1は、三つ折りされるものであるものの、2つの折り線のうち一方の折り線にて既に折り重ねられた状態であるため、ストッパ80は、単片用紙1が、2つの折り線のうち、まだ折り重ねられていない折り線が加圧部材42によって加圧される位置に停止するようにガイド30c上に設けられる。なお、本例においては、図6(a)に示した状態と図6(f)に示した状態とにおけるストッパ80の位置は同一となる。
【0051】
また、単片用紙1が停止した領域は、その一部が接着材料塗布部40と対向しており、接着材料塗布部40において、単片用紙1のうち、図6(b)に示した工程にて擬似接着材料2が塗布された領域の裏面に擬似接着材料2が塗布される(図6(g))。これは、本例における単片用紙1が、折り線を介してC状に三つ折りに折り重ねられるものであり、かつ、2つの折り線のうち一方の折り線を介して既に折り重ねられているため、既に折り重ねられた領域と、折り重ねられていない領域とを擬似接着材料2によって剥離可能に接着するためである。
【0052】
単片用紙1に擬似接着材料2が塗布された後、加圧部材42によって、単片用紙1の2つの折り線のうち、まだ折り重ねられていない折り線となる領域が、擬似接着材料2が塗布された面側から加圧されるとともに、互いに対向して設けられたローラ41a,41bが、単片用紙1のうち加圧部材42によって加圧された部分が挟みこまれていくように互いに異なる方向に回転し、それにより、単片用紙1は、加圧部材42によって加圧された領域が折り線となり、かつ、擬似接着材料2が塗布された面が内面となるようにローラ41a,41b間を折り重ねられながら搬送されていく(図6(h))。これにより、単片用紙1は、2つの折り線を介してC状に三つ折りに折り重ねられ、重ね合わせ面が互いに剥離可能に接着されることになる。
【0053】
ローラ41a,41b間を搬送されていく単片用紙1は、C状に三つ折りに折り重ねられた状態であるため、再度折り重ねる必要がない。そのため、経路分岐フラッグ50が、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1をローラ25a,25b及びガイド30d側に導くような状態となり(図6(i))、それにより、ローラ41a,41b間を搬送された単片用紙1がローラ25a,25b及びガイド30d側に搬送されていく。
【0054】
その後、ローラ25a,25bの回転によってガイド30dに沿って搬送されてきた単片用紙1は、スリッタ60によって搬送方向平行に断裁される。
【0055】
スリッタ60にて断裁された単片用紙1は、その後、ガイド30dに沿って搬送されていき、スタッカ70に格納される。

[0003]
Further, in recent years, a recipient is notified of information that the sender wants to notify by using a folded postcard which is composed of a plurality of connected pieces, and the plurality of pieces are folded at the connecting portion and adhered to each other in a peelable manner. Things have been done. In the case of notifying information using such a folded postcard, the information posted on the inner surface of the plurality of pieces constituting the folded postcard peels off the bonded pieces. Otherwise, it will not be visible from the outside, so if you post information that you want to notify only to the recipient in this area, and paste this multiple pieces peelable together, you can send the information you want to notify only to the recipient by printed matter Even in the case of notification, information can be notified without using a sealed letter, and predetermined information can be notified only to the recipient with a postcard fee.
[0004]
As an apparatus for producing a paper medium in which a plurality of pieces are overlapped and bonded to each other in this way, for example, an adhesive liquid is applied to one surface of continuous paper, and then the continuous paper is applied to the continuous paper. There has been considered an apparatus that folds the surfaces so that they are the inner surfaces and adheres the overlapping surfaces to each other, and then cuts the continuous paper into a single piece (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0005]

Rollers 25a and 25b and guides 30d for conveying the single piece of paper 1 and rollers 26a and 26b and guides 30e and the single piece of paper 1 conveyed by the rollers 25a, 25b and guide 30d in parallel in the carrying direction. A slitter 60 to be cut and a stacker 70 in which the single-sheet paper 1 cut by the slitter 60 is stored. The rollers 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b, 24a, 24b and the guides 30a-30c constitute a conveying means, and the pressing member 42 and the rollers 41a, 41b constitute a folding means. ing.
[0019]
Hereinafter, with respect to the operation of the single piece paper processing apparatus configured as described above, the single piece paper 1 stored in the paper feeding unit 10 is supplied, and the supplied single piece paper 1 is folded and overlapped. An example will be described in which the film is detachably bonded.
[0020]
First, an operation when the single-sheet paper 1 supplied from the paper supply unit 10 or the paper supply port 11 is folded in two and the overlapping surfaces are bonded to each other so as to be peeled from each other will be described.
[0021]
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the operation when the single-sheet paper 1 is folded in two in the single-sheet paper processing apparatus shown in FIG.
[0022]
When the single piece of paper 1 stored in the paper supply unit 10 is supplied, the supplied single piece of paper 1 is guided by the guides 30a, 30b by the rotation of the rollers 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b, 24a, 24b. And is stopped on the guide 30c when the front end in the transport direction comes into contact with the stopper 80 (FIG. 2A). Here, the position of the stopper 80 is determined in advance according to how the single-sheet paper 1 is folded, and is simply at a position where the folding line of the single-sheet paper 1 is pressed by the pressure member 42 in the subsequent processing. The single sheet 1 is provided on the guide 30c so as to stop. In the case of this example, the fold line for folding the single-sheet paper 1 into two folds (substantially the central portion in the conveyance direction of the single-sheet paper 1) stops at a position where it is pressed by the pressure member 42. A stopper 80 is provided on the guide 30c.
[0023]
Moreover, the area | region where the single piece paper 1 stopped has opposes the adhesive material application part 40 in part, and in the adhesive material application part 40, the conveyance direction downstream side of the single piece paper 1 via a fold line. The pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to the region to be (FIG. 2B). This is because the single-sheet paper 1 in this example is folded in two through a fold line, and if the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to one region through the fold line, This is because when the single-sheet paper 1 is folded in two via a folding line, the overlapping surfaces are detachably bonded to each other.
[0024]
After the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to a region on the downstream side in the transport direction via the fold line in the single-piece paper 1, the area that becomes the fold line of the single-piece paper 1 is changed by the pressure member 42 into the pseudo-adhesive material. 2 is pressed from the coated surface side, and the rollers 41a and 41b provided opposite to each other so that the portion of the single-sheet paper 1 pressed by the pressing member 42 is sandwiched. Accordingly, the single-sheet paper 1 is a roller so that the area pressed by the pressing member 42 becomes a fold line and the surface coated with the pseudo-adhesive material 2 becomes the inner surface. It is conveyed while being folded between 41a and 41b (FIG. 2 (c)). As a result, the single-sheet paper 1 is folded over the folding line, and the overlapping surfaces are bonded to each other so as to be peeled from each other.
[0025]
Further, in this example, since the single piece paper 1 is folded in half, it is not necessary to refold the single piece paper 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b. Therefore, the path branch flag 50 is in a state in which the single-sheet paper 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b is guided to the rollers 25a and 25b and the guide 30d side (FIG. 2 (d)). The single-piece sheet 1 conveyed between 41b is conveyed toward the rollers 25a and 25b and the guide 30d.
[0026]
Thereafter, the single-sheet paper 1 conveyed along the guide 30d by the rotation of the rollers 25a and 25b is cut by the slitter 60 in parallel in the conveyance direction.
[0027]
3A and 3B are diagrams for explaining the cutting process of the single-sheet paper 1 in the slitter 60 shown in FIG. 1, wherein FIG. 3A shows a state before cutting, and FIG. 3B shows a state after cutting. FIG.
[0028]
When the single piece of paper 1 conveyed along the guide 30d by the rotation of the rollers 25a and 25b is divided into, for example, two equal parts, the single piece of paper 1 as shown in FIG. Then, in the slitter 60, the conveyed single-piece sheet 1 is cut into two equal parts in parallel with the conveying direction as shown in FIG. 3B and conveyed.
[0029]
The single piece paper 1 cut by the slitter 60 is then transported along the guide 30 d and stored in the stacker 70.
[0030]
Next, an operation when the single-sheet paper 1 supplied from the paper supply unit 10 or the paper supply port 11 is folded in three in a Z shape and the overlapping surfaces are bonded to each other so as to be peeled from each other will be described.
[0031]
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an operation when the single-sheet paper 1 is folded in a Z-shape in the single-piece paper processing apparatus shown in FIG.
[0032]
When the single piece of paper 1 stored in the paper supply unit 10 is supplied, the supplied single piece of paper 1 is guided by the guides 30a, 30b by the rotation of the rollers 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b, 24a, 24b. Are stopped on the guide 30c when the leading end of the transfer direction comes into contact with the stopper 80 (FIG. 4A). Here, the position of the stopper 80 is determined in advance according to how the single-sheet paper 1 is folded, and is simply at a position where the folding line of the single-sheet paper 1 is pressed by the pressure member 42 in the subsequent processing. The single sheet 1 is provided on the guide 30c so as to stop. In the case of this example, since the single piece of paper 1 is folded in three, the single piece of paper 1 has two fold lines (a portion obtained by dividing the single piece of paper 1 into approximately three equal parts in the conveyance direction) When the single-sheet paper 1 is folded in a Z shape, the single-sheet paper 1 is stopped so as to stop at a position where the fold line on the upstream side in the transport direction is pressed by the pressing member 42 out of the two fold lines. 80 is provided on the guide 30c. Note that the folding line of the single-sheet paper 1 is not necessarily a portion obtained by dividing the conveyance direction of the single-sheet paper 1 into approximately three parts in the case of tri-folding. For example, when the single-sheet paper 1 is folded in a Z shape In order to make it possible to visually recognize the information printed in the central area from the outside, the width of the parts at both ends may be narrowed.
[0033]
Moreover, the area | region where the single piece paper 1 stopped partly opposes the adhesive material application part 40, and in the adhesive material application part 40, the area | region pinched | interposed into two folding lines among the single piece paper 1 The pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to (Fig. 4 (b)). This is because the single-sheet paper 1 in this example is folded in three in a Z shape via a fold line, and first, an area sandwiched between two fold lines and the fold line This is because one of the two regions adjacent to the region is adhered to the region sandwiched between the two folding lines in a peelable manner by the pseudo-adhesive material 2.
[0034]
After the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to the area between the two fold lines of the single-sheet paper 1, the pressing member 42 folds the two fold lines of the single-sheet paper 1 upstream in the transport direction. A region to be a line is pressed from the surface side on which the pseudo adhesive material 2 is applied, and rollers 41 a and 41 b provided facing each other are pressed by the pressing member 42 of the single-sheet paper 1. The single-sheet paper 1 is rotated in different directions so that the portion is sandwiched between them, so that the area pressed by the pressing member 42 becomes a fold line, and the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied. The rollers 41a and 41b are conveyed while being folded so that the opposite surface becomes the inner surface (FIG. 4C). As a result, the single-sheet paper 1 is folded via the folding line on the upstream side in the conveying direction of the two folding lines, and one of the Z-shaped overlapping surfaces is adhered to be peelable from each other. Will be.
[0035]
Further, in this example, since the single piece paper 1 is folded in three, it is necessary to fold the single piece paper 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b again. Therefore, the path branch flag 50 is provided with the adhesive material application unit 40, the pressure member 42, and the rollers 41a and 41b through the rollers 26a and 26b and the guide 30e for the single sheet 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b. The single-sheet paper 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b is thereby guided through the fold line on the upstream side in the conveyance direction among the two fold lines. Then, one of the Z-shaped overlapping surfaces is detachably bonded to the rollers 26a, 26b and the guide 30e (FIG. 4E).
[0036]
The single-sheet paper 1 conveyed to the rollers 26a and 26b and the guide 30e side is conveyed again onto the guide 30c along the guide 30b by the rotation of the rollers 23a, 23b, 24a, and 24b, and the leading end in the conveyance direction becomes the stopper 80. It stops on the guide 30c by contact | abutting (FIG.4 (f)). Here, the single-sheet paper 1 conveyed again on the guide 30c is folded in three but is already folded at one of the two fold lines. 80, the single-sheet paper 1 is provided on the guide 30c so as to stop at a position where a fold line that has not yet been folded out of the two fold lines is pressed by the pressure member 42. The position control of the stopper 80 in the state shown in FIG. 4A and the state shown in FIG. 4F is performed by a control unit (not shown).
[0037]
In addition, a part of the region where the single piece paper 1 is stopped is opposed to the adhesive material application unit 40, and the adhesive material application unit 40 displays a fold line that has not yet been folded in the single piece paper 1. Then, the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to a region on the downstream side in the transport direction (FIG. 4G). This is because the single-sheet paper 1 in this example is folded in three in a Z shape via a fold line, and has already been folded through one of the two fold lines. Therefore, the region sandwiched between the two folding lines and the non-folded region are bonded to each other by the pseudo-adhesive material 2 so as to be peeled off.
[0038]
After the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to a region on the downstream side in the transport direction via a folding line that has not yet been folded, the single-sheet paper 1 is folded into two pieces by the pressure member 42. Among the lines, a region that is a fold line that has not yet been folded is pressed from the surface side on which the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied, and rollers 41 a and 41 b provided facing each other are provided with a single piece of paper. 1 are rotated in different directions so that the portion pressurized by the pressure member 42 is sandwiched, whereby the single-sheet paper 1 has a fold line in the region pressurized by the pressure member 42. Then, the rollers 41a and 41b are conveyed while being folded so that the surface to which the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied becomes the inner surface (FIG. 4H). As a result, the single-sheet paper 1 is folded in three in a Z shape via two folding lines, and the overlapping surfaces are bonded to each other so as to be peeled from each other.
[0039]
The single-sheet paper 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b is in a state of being folded in three in a Z shape, and therefore does not need to be folded again. Therefore, the path branch flag 50 is in a state in which the single-sheet paper 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b is guided to the rollers 25a and 25b and the guide 30d side (FIG. 4 (i)). The single-piece sheet 1 conveyed between 41b is conveyed toward the rollers 25a and 25b and the guide 30d.
[0040]
Thereafter, the single-sheet paper 1 conveyed along the guide 30d by the rotation of the rollers 25a and 25b is cut by the slitter 60 in parallel in the conveyance direction.
[0041]
5A and 5B are diagrams for explaining the cutting process of the single-sheet paper 1 in the slitter 60 shown in FIG. 1, wherein FIG. 5A shows a state before cutting, and FIG. 5B shows a state after cutting. FIG.
[0042]
For example, when an unnecessary portion is deleted from the single sheet 1 conveyed along the guide 30d by the rotation of the rollers 25a and 25b, the single sheet 1 as illustrated in FIG. 5A is conveyed. Then, in the slitter 60, as shown in FIG. 5B, unnecessary portions are cut from the conveyed single-piece sheet 1 and conveyed.
[0043]
The single piece paper 1 cut by the slitter 60 is then transported along the guide 30 d and stored in the stacker 70.
[0044]
Next, an operation when the single-sheet paper 1 supplied from the paper supply unit 10 or the paper supply port 11 is folded in three in a C shape and the overlapping surfaces are bonded to each other so as to be peeled from each other will be described.
[0045]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the operation when the single-sheet paper 1 is folded in three in a C shape in the single-sheet paper processing apparatus shown in FIG.

When the single piece of paper 1 stored in the paper supply unit 10 is supplied, the supplied single piece of paper 1 is guided by the guides 30a, 30b by the rotation of the rollers 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b, 24a, 24b. Are stopped on the guide 30c when the leading end of the transfer direction comes into contact with the stopper 80 (FIG. 6A). Here, the position of the stopper 80 is determined in advance according to how the single-sheet paper 1 is folded, and is simply at a position where the folding line of the single-sheet paper 1 is pressed by the pressure member 42 in the subsequent processing. The single sheet 1 is provided on the guide 30c so as to stop. In the case of this example, since the single piece paper 1 is folded in three, the single piece paper 1 has two fold lines (a portion obtained by dividing the conveyance direction of the single piece paper 1 into approximately three equal parts) When the single-sheet paper 1 is folded in a C shape, the single-sheet paper 1 is stopped so that the fold line on the downstream side in the transport direction of the two fold lines stops at a position where it is pressed by the pressure member 42. 80 is provided on the guide 30c.
[0047]
In addition, a part of the region where the single-sheet paper 1 is stopped is opposed to the adhesive material application unit 40, and the adhesive material application unit 40 includes a fold line on the downstream side in the transport direction of the single-sheet paper 1. Then, the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to the region on the downstream side in the transport direction (FIG. 6B). This is because the single-sheet paper 1 in this example is folded in three in a C shape via a fold line, and first, an area sandwiched between two fold lines and the fold line This is because the region and one of the two adjacent regions are detachably bonded.
[0048]
After the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to the downstream area in the conveyance direction of the single-sheet paper 1 via the folding line on the downstream side in the conveyance direction, the two folding lines of the single-sheet paper 1 are formed by the pressing member 42. Of these, a region that is a fold line on the downstream side in the transport direction is pressurized from the surface side on which the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied, and rollers 41 a and 41 b provided facing each other are included in the single-sheet paper 1. The single-sheet paper 1 is rotated in different directions so that the portion pressed by the pressing member 42 is sandwiched, whereby the single-sheet paper 1 has a fold line in the region pressed by the pressing member 42, and Then, the rollers 41a and 41b are conveyed while being folded so that the surface to which the pseudo adhesive material 2 is applied becomes the inner surface (FIG. 6C). As a result, the single-sheet paper 1 is folded over the two folding lines via the folding line on the downstream side in the conveying direction, and one of the C-shaped overlapping surfaces is detachably bonded to each other. Will be.
[0049]
Further, in this example, since the single piece paper 1 is folded in three, it is necessary to fold the single piece paper 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b again. Therefore, the path branch flag 50 is provided with the adhesive material application unit 40, the pressure member 42, and the rollers 41a and 41b through the rollers 26a and 26b and the guide 30e for the single sheet 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b. The single-sheet paper 1 transported between the rollers 41a and 41b is thereby guided through the fold line on the downstream side in the transport direction among the two fold lines. Then, one of the C-shaped overlapping surfaces is peeled and adhered to the rollers 26a, 26b and the guide 30e side (FIG. 6E).
[0050]
The single-sheet paper 1 conveyed to the rollers 26a and 26b and the guide 30e side is conveyed again onto the guide 30c along the guide 30b by the rotation of the rollers 23a, 23b, 24a, and 24b, and the leading end in the conveyance direction becomes the stopper 80. It stops on the guide 30c by contact | abutting (FIG.6 (f)). Here, the single-sheet paper 1 conveyed again on the guide 30c is folded in three but is already folded at one of the two fold lines. 80, the single-sheet paper 1 is provided on the guide 30c so as to stop at a position where a fold line that has not yet been folded out of the two fold lines is pressed by the pressure member 42. In this example, the position of the stopper 80 is the same in the state shown in FIG. 6A and the state shown in FIG.
[0051]
Further, a part of the area where the single piece paper 1 is stopped is opposed to the adhesive material application unit 40, and the process shown in FIG. 6B of the single piece paper 1 in the adhesive material application unit 40. The pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to the back surface of the area where the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied (FIG. 6G). This is because the single-sheet paper 1 in this example is folded in three in a C shape via a fold line, and has already been folded via one of the two fold lines. Therefore, the already folded region and the unfolded region are adhered to each other by the pseudo-adhesive material 2 so as to be peeled off.
[0052]
After the pseudo-adhesive material 2 is applied to the single-sheet paper 1, an area that becomes a fold line that has not yet been folded out of the two fold lines of the single-sheet paper 1 by the pressure member 42 is the pseudo-adhesive material 2. Is pressed from the coated surface side, and the rollers 41 a and 41 b provided opposite to each other are sandwiched between the portions of the single-sheet paper 1 pressed by the pressing member 42. The single-sheet paper 1 is rotated in different directions, whereby the roller 41a is arranged so that the area pressed by the pressing member 42 becomes a fold line and the surface coated with the pseudo adhesive material 2 becomes the inner surface. , 41b are folded and conveyed (FIG. 6 (h)). As a result, the single-sheet paper 1 is folded in three in a C shape via two folding lines, and the overlapping surfaces are bonded to each other in a peelable manner.
[0053]
The single-sheet paper 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b is in a state of being folded in three in a C shape, and therefore does not need to be folded again. Therefore, the path branch flag 50 is in a state in which the single-sheet paper 1 conveyed between the rollers 41a and 41b is guided to the rollers 25a and 25b and the guide 30d side (FIG. 6 (i)). The single-piece sheet 1 conveyed between 41b is conveyed toward the rollers 25a and 25b and the guide 30d.
[0054]
Thereafter, the single-sheet paper 1 conveyed along the guide 30d by the rotation of the rollers 25a and 25b is cut by the slitter 60 in parallel in the conveyance direction.
[0055]
The single piece paper 1 cut by the slitter 60 is then transported along the guide 30 d and stored in the stacker 70.
[0056]
