DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of an openable message card according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2A is a diagram showing a closed initial state in the openable message card of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a message output state in the openable message card of FIG.
[0009]
Referring to FIG. 1 (a), the openable message card 1 of the present embodiment has a form that can be expanded from a folded state, and one side of the folded line 1a (the right side in the figure) in the expanded inner region. ) First surface 1b and the second surface 1c on the other side (left side in the figure). A cathode layer 2 is formed on the first surface 1b using, for example, zinc (Zn), and an electrolyte is formed on the cathode layer 2 using, for example, zinc chloride (ZnCl ₂ ) or potassium hydroxide (KOH). Layer 3 is formed.
[0010]
The first surface 1b is provided with an audio output unit 4 for outputting, for example, a birthday message (including a melody) as audio. Further, on the first surface 1b, a first connection line 5 connecting the cathode layer 2 and the sound output unit 4 and a second connection line 6 extending from the sound output unit 4 are printed by using, for example, conductive ink. Is formed. Further, a sheet-like rocking member 7 is provided on the first surface 1b.
[0011]
Referring to FIG. 1B, the swing member 7 is in contact with the electrolyte layer 3 (indicated by reference numeral 7a in the figure) and separated from the electrolyte layer 3 (in reference numeral 7b in the figure). (Shown state). An anode layer 8 is formed on the surface of the oscillating member 7 in contact with the electrolyte layer 3 using, for example, manganese dioxide (MnO ₂ ).
[0012]
Further, a third connection line 9 extending from the anode layer 8 is formed on the surface of the swing member 7 in contact with the electrolyte layer 3 by printing using, for example, conductive ink. Here, the second connection line 6 and the third connection line 9 are set to conduct when the swing member 7 is in contact. On the other hand, the second surface 1c is provided with a peeling film 10 for easily covering the adhesive electrolyte layer 3 while being folded along the double fold line 1a.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 2A, the openable message card 1 of the present embodiment is delivered in an initial state folded along a fold line 1a. When the openable message card 1 is unfolded from the initial state along the double fold line 1a, the swinging member 7 is separated from the electrolyte layer 3 as shown in FIG. 1 (a) (in FIG. 1 (b)). The state indicated by reference numeral 7b). That is, since the paper-like battery which should be comprised by the cathode layer 2, the electrolyte layer 3, and the anode layer 8 is not formed, the audio | voice output part 4 does not operate | move, without receiving electric power supply.
[0014]
Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), when the swinging member 7 is swung to a contact state (a state indicated by reference numeral 7a in FIG. 1 (b)) in contact with the electrolyte layer 3, and lightly pressed with a finger. Then, the adhesive electrolyte layer 3 and the anode layer 8 are bonded to each other. In this state, a paper-like battery to be constituted by the cathode layer 2, the electrolyte layer 3, and the anode layer 8 is formed, and the connection between the anode layer 8 and the audio output unit 4 is in a conductive state for the first time. As a result, the voice output unit 4 that receives power supply from the battery starts operating, and a birthday message flows.
[0015]
When listening to the birthday message is finished, the swinging member 7 is swung to the separated state separated from the electrolyte layer 3, and then folded again along the double fold line 1a to return to the initial state. Thus, the openable message card 1 of the present embodiment is based on a simple configuration in which the adhesive electrolyte layer 3 and the anode layer 8 are bonded to each other without using a conventional expensive switching mechanism. Depending on whether or not a battery is formed, ON / OFF of the power source can be controlled.
[0016]
In this embodiment, for example, a battery disclosed in JP 2000-502206 A can be used as a paper-like battery to be constituted by the cathode layer 2, the electrolyte layer 3, and the anode layer 8.
[0017]
In the above-described embodiment, the cathode layer 2 is formed on the first surface 1b and the anode layer 8 is formed on the swing member 7. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the anode layer 8 is formed on the first surface 1b. The cathode layer 2 can also be formed on the rocking member 7.
[0018]
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the electrolyte layer 3 is formed on the cathode layer 2, but the electrolyte layer 3 can also be formed on the anode layer 8 without being limited thereto. That is, the electrolyte layer 3 may be formed on the anode layer 8 formed on the swing member 7, or the electrolyte layer 3 may be formed on the anode layer 8 formed on the first surface 1b.
[0019]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the peeling film 10 is provided on the second surface 1c. However, when the second surface 1c itself has a characteristic of easily covering the adhesive electrolyte layer 3, the peeling film 10 is provided. The installation of 10 can be omitted.
[0020]
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the voice output unit 4 for outputting the message as voice is used as the output unit for outputting the message. An image display unit can be used.
[0021]
