  By the way, books, especially paperback books, are relatively compact and can enjoy reading using commuting time and free time. However, when carrying a plurality of books, even if it is a paperback book, it may be bulky in the bag. Also, as mentioned above, books are presumed to be commercially profitable, and after a few years from their publication, only marketable ones are released as paperback books, and some are out of print without becoming paperback books. .

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a book with a relatively inexpensive configuration that can separate only desired pages, and a bookbinding system that binds the book.

In order to achieve the above-described object, the book of the present invention is formed by stacking a plurality of binding sheets, and is inserted into a file ring formed separately from the book on one side of the binding sheets. A book for specifying a book on the binding paper, wherein a plurality of binding papers are formed as independent binding papers, and a desired number of books can be separated. The specific information or the page number of the book is printed as a first information code that can be read by an information medium that optically reads information, and the page number of the binding paper is printed using ordinary ink. A number and the first information code printed using a transparent ink are attached to a position substantially overlapping with the arithmetic number .

The bookbinding system of the present invention stores an orderer terminal that can be connected to an information communication network, and order information related to a book that is connected to the information communication network and ordered from the orderer terminal. A server and bookbinding means for bookbinding based on the ordering information stored in the server, and the server binds the bookbinding according to the number of books ordered based on the ordering information. The bookbinding means performs a process of forming a binding hole inserted into a file ring formed separately from the book on one side of the binding sheet, and each of the binding sheets is independent one by one. as a binding sheet that has, the a binding in the configuration in which binding a plurality of sheets piled formed by book paper, the bookbinding unit, said a binding as paper, bookbinding published cut processing and the pullout of the spine portion to the original The first book binding paper configured by performing a punching process for forming a binding hole on one side of the paper, and the binding process of the spine cover portion as in a normal bookbinding process are omitted, and the binding paper The second book binding paper configured by printing a book of a predetermined size and punching the binding hole is configured to be able to operate, and the server is ordered based on the ordering information. It is determined which of the first book binding paper and the second book binding paper is to be created, and the first book binding paper or the second book binding paper is managed for the bookbinding means. It is characterized by instructing .

  In the book and the bookbinding system of the present invention, each sheet constituting the book is configured as an independent binding sheet, and a binding hole inserted into the file ring is formed on one side of the binding sheet. For this reason, for example, it is possible to bind only a desired page (binding paper) for each of a plurality of books into an existing file ring, and without having to carry around a plurality of books or pages that are not scheduled to be read. You can enjoy reading genre books in parallel.

  Unlike the present invention, books are generally bound at the back cover portion by binding methods such as flat binding and wireless binding at the time of bookbinding. On the other hand, according to the book and the bookbinding system of the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the binding process in the binding paper in the first place, and to suppress the cost of the bookbinding process as much as possible. Moreover, according to the bookbinding system of the present invention, since the book is produced according to the request of the orderer, the inventory can be reduced, and the bookbinding cost can be reduced regardless of whether there is marketability for various books including paperback books. Can be suppressed.

<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the present invention [1. System notebook] [2. Books] [3. The operation will be described with reference to FIGS.
[1. System notebook]
As shown in FIG. 1, the system notebook 1 includes a main body cover 2 having a front cover 2a, a back cover 2b, and a back cover 2c, and a metal binding tool 3 provided on the inner surface side of the back cover 2b. In addition, the binding paper 5 is bound by the binding tool 3 and the collar 6 is used as a mark to be sandwiched between pages of the binding paper 5. The binding tool 3 is swingable with respect to the base 7, a base 7 that is attached and fixed so as to extend vertically along the spine 2 b, a pair of operation parts 8 that are disposed at both upper and lower ends of the base 7, and the base 7. And a plurality of (for example, six) binding rings 9 arranged in a vertical direction and an auxiliary ring 10 provided at the upper end of the base 7.

  The binding ring 9 is composed of, for example, a pair of ring pieces 9a and 9b, and a closed position where the engaging portions 9c formed at the tip portions thereof are engaged and disengaged with each other by the pressing operation of the operating portion 8 (see FIG. 1). And swing between an open position (not shown). This binding ring 9 is, for example, an arrangement of existing 6-hole type file rings arranged at six positions at a predetermined interval (pitch interval of 19 mm) indicated by L0 in FIG. is there.

  The auxiliary ring 10 is disposed immediately above the upper edge portion of the binding paper 5 and functions as an auxiliary attachment portion for the system notebook 1 of the bag 6. The auxiliary ring 10 is composed of a pair of metal ring pieces 10a and 10b, for example, like the binding ring 9, and the engaging portions 10c formed at the tip portions thereof by the operation of the operating portion 8 are engaged with each other. It swings between a closed position (see FIG. 1) to be removed and an open position (not shown).

  The system notebook 1 of the present embodiment is configured so as to be compatible with, for example, an A6 size binding sheet 5 file that has not been available in the market so far, and the front cover 2a and the back cover 2c of the main body cover 2 are A6 size. The spine cover 2b is substantially equal (or slightly larger than the A6 size), and has a width that is wider than the size of the spine cover part of a general paperback book.

  The binding sheet 5 has an A6 size (vertical L1 × horizontal L2 in FIG. 1) of 148 mm × 105 mm, which is not available on the market as a refill as described above, and can be bound with an existing binding tool. That is, the binding paper 5 is formed such that a plurality of (for example, six) binding holes 11 inserted through the binding ring 9 at one side thereof are arranged in rows at the pitch interval, and the binding ring 11 is inserted into the binding hole 11. 9 is inserted into the main body cover 2 by being inserted. The binding hole 11 has a so-called competition track shape (see FIG. 3) and has a rounded rectangular shape (oval shape). The binding hole 11 is set to a dimension that allows relative movement of the binding paper 5 in the lateral direction (see arrow D1 in FIG. 1) relative to the binding ring 9 in the binding state in which the binding ring 9 is inserted. Yes. Therefore, since the binding sheet 5 in the binding state can be moved to the inner surface side of the back cover 2b so as not to protrude from the opening side edge of the main body cover 2, the side cover 2a and the back cover 2c in the main body cover 2 are arranged side by side. The direction dimension can be set to substantially the same dimension as the A6 size.

  As described above, the system notebook 1 is filed as independent sheets one by one, unlike a normal book in which a plurality of sheets are bonded together at a binding unit. For this reason, when a string-like fold is simply applied to the system notebook, the middle portion of the fold is on the binding side (see the hatched portion on the left side in FIG. 31A). There is a risk of falling to the spine 2b side from the binding side edge and being caught by the corner of the binding paper (see symbol P0 in FIG. 31A).

  Therefore, the system notebook 1 according to the present embodiment includes an interference plate 16 in the middle portion 6a of the basket 6 as a drop prevention means for preventing the basket 6 from falling off. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the heel 6 includes, for example, a string-shaped portion 12 that is elongated as a whole, and a mounting portion 13 provided at one end of the string-shaped portion 12, The decorative part 15 provided in the other end part of the string-like part 12 and the interference plate 16 provided in the middle part 6a of the collar 6 are provided.

  The string-like part 12 is made of, for example, a fiber material, and is set to a length longer than the vertical dimension (148 mm) of the binding paper 5. The mounting portion 13 is made of, for example, a metal material, has a hole portion 13a through which the auxiliary ring 10 and the binding ring 9 can pass, and has a small-diameter disk shape as a whole. The collar 6 is detachably attached to the auxiliary ring 10 or the binding ring 9 in the attachment part 13 by the operation of the operation part 8. Here, since the attachment portion 13 attached to the auxiliary ring 10 or the binding ring 9 has a small-diameter disk shape, the attachment portion 13 is not bulky in the system notebook 1 and does not come off when the rings 9 and 10 are closed. It is like that. Note that the mounting portion 13 may be an annular portion (not shown) formed by winding a wire in a ring shape in addition to the disk shape, and any configuration may be relatively inexpensive and simple. it can.

  The decorative portion 15 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin material, and has a smaller dimensional shape (for example, a rectangular thin plate shape) than the interference plate 16. The decorative portion 15 (pick portion) can firmly grip and hold the other end portion (the decorative portion 15) of the heel 6, and can enhance the appearance design of the heel 6. And the interference plate 16 (interference part) is formed in the comparatively thin disk shape, for example from a synthetic resin material, and is arrange | positioned in the position near the decoration part 15 which is the other end of the collar 6. FIG. The interference plate 16 has a bilaterally symmetric shape with the center plate S2 that divides the interference plate 16 in the left and right direction and that extends along the string-like portion 12 as a symmetry axis. In the collar 6, the interference plate 16 is engaged with, for example, the lowermost binding ring 9 with the mounting portion 13 mounted on the auxiliary ring 10 and the string-like portion 12 extending vertically along the arrangement of the binding rings 9. It is arranged to do. As a result, the collar 6 is prevented from falling to the binding side because the interference plate 16 and the binding ring 9 are prevented from moving to the binding side between the pages of the binding paper 5. Further, since the interference plate 16 is formed symmetrically as described above, even if the front and back of the interference plate 16 are reversed, the interference plate 16 and the binding ring 9 can be similarly engaged with each other, and the drop prevention means Can function as. In addition, in the collar 6, the material and shape of the string-shaped part 12, the mounting part 13, the decoration part 15, and the interference plate 16 can be changed as appropriate. For example, in each part 12-16, a synthetic resin material, a metal material An appropriate material may be selectively used from materials such as fiber materials.

[2. Books]
The system notebook 1 according to the present embodiment has an A6 size, that is, a paper size, as described above. In addition to the binding paper 5, pages necessary for the owner as independent binding sheets 22 for the following books 21 one by one. It can be separated by binding only.

  In other words, the book 21 includes a plurality of first book binding sheets 22a (or a plurality of second book binding sheets 22b) on which the text content 21a (see FIG. 3) of the book is written, and the book binding sheets 22a or Index sheets 221 to 225 (see FIG. 4) for partitioning 22b so as to be a headline or an index, an advertisement binding sheet 29 on which an advertisement is posted, and a book review binding sheet 30 on which a book review is described. Here, FIG. 4 shows, for example, a plurality of first book binding sheets 22 a (or second book binding sheets 22 b) composed of chapters 1 to 5 for each of five before and after each chapter. An example of a book 21 is shown in which index sheets 221 to 225 and five advertisement binding sheets 29 to 29 are attached, and a book review binding sheet 30 is attached to the end of the book. As will be described in detail later, the plurality of first book binding sheets 22a are configured by cutting the spine cover portion of the original book 21 '(see FIG. 5) that has already been bound and published, while the plurality of second book binding sheets 22a are formed. The book binding paper 22b is printed and bound so as to constitute the book 21 that can be separated from the beginning without the binding process of the spine cover portion as in the normal bookbinding process. Also, these book binding sheets 22a or 22b, index sheets 221 to 225, advertisement binding sheets 29, book review binding sheets 30 (hereinafter collectively referred to as these sheets 22a (or 22b), 29, 30, 221 to 225) For example, the binding paper 22 is described as a book 21 in which the binding hole 11 is formed and the booklet processing is performed.

  A bookbinding system (specifically, a bookbinding sales system) for binding the book 21 will be described with reference to FIGS. It should be noted that printing, processing, and the like related to the book 21 are legally performed with the permission of the author in advance.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6, the bookbinding system is mainly configured by a communication network 23 (information communication network) such as the Internet, and a purchase applicant (orderer) who orders a book 21 to the communication network 23. ) Handled by the orderer, the manager terminal (server 25) handled by the manager (order receiver) who receives the order related to the book 21 and manages the order, the processor terminal 26 handled by the processor, A terminal 27 for an agency that is handled by the agency, and a terminal 28 for an advertisement applicant that is handled by an advertisement placement applicant (advertiser) are connected.

  The orderer terminal 24 is a terminal for purchasers such as a personal computer or a mobile phone installed in the home, and can access the home page of the server 25 via the communication network 23. The purchase applicant can search for a book by selecting “book purchase” on the entrance screen of the home page (see FIG. 7), and can issue an ordering instruction when there is a book 21 desired to purchase. .

  The server 25 is installed in the order receiving center 25A, for example, and is configured to be able to exchange data with each of the terminals 24, 26, 27, and 28 via the communication network 23. Centrally manage the information up to. As shown in FIG. 8, the server 25 includes a CPU 31a, a ROM, a RAM (not shown), and the like, and includes a control device 31 that is a control unit mainly composed of a microcomputer. The control device 31 is connected to the communication network 23 via the communication control unit 32, and is connected to a storage device 33, a keyboard 34a and a mouse 34b as operation means, a display 35a as a display means, a printer 35b, and the like. Yes. The storage device 33 is composed of a semiconductor memory, a hard disk or the like, and functions as a database means for storing software and data. The storage device 33 stores the book name, author name, publisher name, ISBN code, unit price, etc. as book information, as well as image data, advertisement data, annotation data, book review data, and inventory information of the book 21, which will be described later. Etc. are stored.

  The processor terminal 26 is installed in the processing / printing company 26A, and transmits the stock information of the original 21 'and the book 21 in the company 26A to the server 25 via the communication network 23. The sent inventory information is stored in the database. The processing / printing company 26A includes, for example, a printing machine 36 that performs printing in a system that prints one book at a time without using a plate, a processing machine 37 that performs the above-described booklet processing, and a reading device 38 that reads various information codes. Is installed. The processor terminal 26 receives information (order information to be described later) related to ordering the book 21 via the communication network 23 and transmits the order information to the printing machine 36 and the processing machine 37. Thus, the printing machine 36 and the processing machine 37 automatically perform a series of processes including various printing and processing based on the received information, together with the processor terminal 26, the reading device 38, and the like. A printing / processing system is configured as the bookbinding means of the present invention.

  As the printing machine 36 (printing means), for example, a digital printing machine capable of printing characters, two-dimensional codes, photographs, and other information and the like and relatively high-speed and large-volume printing is used. In the printing / processing system, a book that is not commercially available as a library book, such as a book that is not in a library size or out of print, is separated one by one by the processing machine 37, and the contents of the book are read by a scanner (image data acquisition means) (not shown). Is imaged page by page, and the contents of the front cover, back cover, and back cover of the book are imaged. Further, the contents of the front cover, the back cover, and the back cover of the original 21 ′, which is a paperback book, are imaged by the scanner. Image data obtained by such imaging is stored in a database of the server 25 (may be a storage means (database) included in the terminal 26 or the like). The reading device 38 serving as a reading means is an information medium such as a code reader, and performs wireless communication with the processor terminal 26 or communication via a communication line.

  The agency terminal 27 is installed in the book agency 27A and accepts delivery of various books including the original 21 'to the processing / printing company 26A via the communication network 23. As will be described in detail later, the server 25 instructs the distributor 27 for delivery based on the inventory information, for example, when the inventory is less than the number of purchase requesters, and the book distributor 27A. On the side, in response to the delivery instruction, the original 21 'is delivered to the processing / printing company 26A.

  The advertisement applicant terminal 28 can transmit advertisement data to the server 25 via the communication network 23. The advertisement is solicited for each category in advance when producing the book 21, and advertisement manuscripts (advertisement data) for advertising on the book 21 are provided by various advertisement applicants. In addition, it is assumed that the advertisement applicant and the purchase applicant are the same person, such as when the advertisement applicant purchases the book 21, but in such a case, one terminal is the advertisement applicant terminal. 28 and the orderer terminal 24. These terminals 24 and 28 can transmit the annotation data and book review data to the server 25 as information provider terminals for providing information on the book 21. Each of the terminals 24, 26, 27, and 28 can be a personal computer having a control device to which, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a display, a printer, and a storage device are connected.

  Here, FIG. 7 shows an entrance screen when the orderer terminal 24 and the advertisement applicant terminal 28 are operated to access the home page of the server 25 through the communication network 23. In the following, specific processing flows in “a. Member registration”, “b. Advertisement transmission”, “c. Book purchase”, “d. Annotation transmission”, and “e. To do.

[A. Member registration]
Member registration is performed by exchange between the orderer terminal 24 and the server 25 or exchange between the advertisement applicant terminal 28 and the server 25 according to the flowchart shown in FIG. In any case, in order to purchase the book 21 or place an advertisement or the like in the book 21, it is necessary to register as a member in advance and obtain a member number. Will be explained collectively.

  First, as described above, the home page of the server 25 is accessed by operating the terminals 24 and 28, and the entrance screen is displayed on the terminals 24 and 28 side (step S1). Then, by selecting “member registration” on this entrance screen, a member registration screen (not shown) is displayed (steps S2 and S3). On this member registration screen, necessary data related to the member such as name and address are input, and the e-mail address, age, gender, etc. are input and transmitted to the server 25 (step S4). The server 25 checks the transmitted data, generates a member number (step S5), registers the member registration applicant as a member in the member database (step S6), and stores the member number on the terminals 24 and 28 side. The member number is displayed (step S7), and the member registration process is terminated.

[B. Advertisement transmission]
Advertisement registration is performed by executing processing in accordance with the flowchart shown in FIG. 10. In this case, the advertisement is exchanged between the terminal 28 for advertisement applicant and the server 25. That is, the advertisement applicant accesses the home page of the server 25 from the terminal 28 to display the entrance screen (step S11), and selects “Send advertisement” on the entrance screen (step S12), thereby inputting the membership number. A screen (not shown) is displayed. When the member number and the password are input by the advertisement applicant on the member number input screen (step S13), the server 25 collates the member number and the password (step S14). Here, when the server 25 determines that the verification result does not match and is not a member, the server 25 displays on the terminal 28 that the registered data is different from the registered data, and the [member registration] process (step S15) or again. Is input (return to step S13). On the other hand, when the collation results match, an input screen (not shown) for inputting advertisement provision conditions is displayed on the advertisement applicant terminal 28 side.

  First, as a category related to the book 21, that is, an object for which an advertisement is desired, a book name can be specifically selected, and by author, by book classification (for example, literature, history, economy, science, etc.) It can be selected (step S16). When these items (major classification) are selected and entered, and there are detailed condition input items, further conditions (minor classification) within the selected item are selected or entered. For example, when the literature selection column is checked among the literature, history, economy, science, etc. displayed as the major classification on the input screen, the selection is made among the novel, essay, poetry, etc. displayed as the minor classification. By checking the column, you can narrow down the target of the advertisement. Further, in step S16, for example, the category related to the subscriber such as the age, sex, address, etc. of the subscriber of the book 21 can be selected.

  Next, as the category related to the advertisement content, that is, the field of the advertisement itself, various classifications such as by item classification (for example, books, home appliances, clothing, etc.) and by service classification (commerce, communication, transportation, etc.) are selected (steps) S17). Here, for example, when a book (including a periodicals as a magazine) is selected as the major classification, a weekly magazine, a monthly magazine, a quarterly magazine, or the like can be selected as the minor classification. And since an advertisement is inserted by inserting between the pages of the book 21 (a plurality of first or second book binding sheets 22b) as the advertisement binding sheet 29, the posted page and position in the book 21 are displayed. The advertisement conditions such as can be input (step S18). Specifically, the insertion page of the advertisement binding sheet 29 is designated as the beginning or end of the book 21, or the occupation range of the advertisement binding sheet 29 is set to be a two-page spread or two left and right pages face each other. Etc. are specified. In step S18, the applicant who is an applicant sets and inputs the advertisement amount, and inputs the advertisement insertion period and other advertisement provision conditions. On the other hand, the server 25 periodically sets the reception period, and when it is determined that the desired posting period is within the reception period based on the input advertisement provision conditions (Yes in step S19). The process proceeds to step S20. On the other hand, for example, when it is determined that a predetermined acceptance period has passed as an advertisement for a monthly magazine (No in step S19), that effect is displayed on the terminal 27, and the input of the advertisement insertion period is requested again. . In addition, although printing of the advertisement binding paper 29 in this embodiment is performed about the advertisement received during the said reception period, step S17, S19 is not essential.

  In step S20, an advertisement data file, which is an advertisement document to be printed, is input and attached, and the input data is transmitted (step S21). On the server 25 side, the contents of the received data are checked, ranking is performed according to the advertisement amount of the advertisement data, registration is performed in the database, and the advertisement registration process is terminated (steps S22 and S23).

[C. Book purchase]
The purchase of a book will be described separately by ordering [c-1] related to the book 21 and production and shipment [c-2] of the book 21 performed in response to the purchase.

[C-1] Ordering and Ordering of Book 21 Ordering and ordering of the book 21 is performed by executing processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11, and in this case, exchanged between the orderer terminal 24 and the server 25. The First, the purchase applicant accesses the home page of the server 25 from the terminal 24 to display the entrance screen (step S31), and selects “book purchase” on the entrance screen (step S32). In steps S33 to S35, the same member number and password input processing as in steps S13 to S15 is performed. Here, when the result of collation of the membership number and the password by the server 25 matches (Yes in step S34), an input screen for searching and specifying the book 21 on the orderer terminal 24 side (FIG. (Not shown) is displayed. On this input screen, the book information stored in the database of the server 25 is searched to select the desired book 21 and, if there is a desired reception date and time, the date and time is input (step S36). Based on this input, the server 25 displays a screen (see FIG. 12) for making various designations related to the selected book 21 on the orderer terminal 24 side (step S37).

  On this screen, the book name, author name, list price, total price, etc. of the selected book 21 are displayed, and order information such as order unit, order volume, advertisement printing, annotation printing, book review printing, etc. is selected and input ( Step S38). Specifically, for example, in the case of the book 21 composed of the first chapter to the fifth chapter, it is possible to select only a desired chapter and specify the number of books to be ordered in the chapter unit (a part of the book 21). In addition, when the book 21 belongs to the advertisement category and the registration is made as an advertisement target, the server 25 determines the corresponding advertisement based on the ranking of the advertisement data, the posting period, the desired reception date and time, and the like. (See FIG. 12) is displayed on the terminal 24 side. By selecting each title from the advertisement list shown in FIG. 12, the purchase 21 is discounted, and the book 21 is attached with a binding sheet 29 of the selected advertisement. . In addition, when the book 21 is a target of annotation printing described later, the server 25 displays a corresponding annotation category (for example, literature, economy, law, engineering, etc., see FIG. 12) on the terminal 24 side. By selecting a category for which annotation is desired from among the categories shown in FIG. 12, the annotation of the selected category (see reference numeral 43a in FIG. 3) is the first book binding paper 22a (or the second book binding). It is attached to the paper 22b). Furthermore, when the book 21 is a target of book review printing described later, by selecting “book review printing” shown in FIG. 12, for example, a book review binding sheet 30 is attached to the end of the book 21. . That is, advertisement printing, annotation printing, and book review printing are additionally printed as additional information for the book 21 in response to a request from the orderer terminal 24.

  On the server 25 side, a serial number related to the book 21 that has been ordered is given, and the ordering information of the book 21 described above (designated information such as the book information, order unit and number of books, postal code / address / name / desired date / time, etc.) Information relating to the orderer information, image data, advertisement data, annotation data, book review data, etc.) and the ordering process for the book 21 is completed (step S39). Further, in the server 25, in order to eliminate the waste of bookbinding and inventory in the partial ordering of the book 21 (that is, divided sales), the inventory information of the original 21 'is ordered for each book (in addition to the chapter unit described above). It may be a specific number of pages).

[C-2] Production and Shipment of Book 21 When the book 21 is produced and shipped, the server 25 executes the following processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, first, the server 25 determines whether or not the binding paper 22 is in stock in the processing / printing company 26A based on the ordering information and the inventory information in the ordering / ordering process (step S41: steps S31 to S39). When the stock of the processing / printing company 26A is sufficient, a shipping process to a purchase applicant, which will be described later, is instructed (step S48). If the stock is insufficient, the book 21 that has been ordered has already been bound and published. It is determined whether or not the original 21 ′ is produced by processing (step S43). Here, in the server 25, for example, whether or not the book is commercially available as a paperback book is registered in advance in association with the book information, and if the book is not commercially available as a paperback book, the book 21 is converted into the original 21 '. Regardless of whether or not it is produced from the second book binding paper 22b (No in step S43). Then, the server 25 instructs the processing terminal 26 side of the production process of the second book binding paper 22b and the delivery process of the book 21 after the production process via the communication network 23 (step S47).

  On the other hand, when the book 21 is produced by processing the original 21 ′ (Yes in step S43), the server 25 determines whether the original 21 ′ is in stock at the processing / printing company 26A based on the order information and the inventory information. Is determined (step S44). When the server 25 determines that the stock of the original 21 ′ is insufficient (No in step S 44), the server 25 sends information for delivering the original 21 ′ to the processing / printing company 26 A via the communication network 23. The data is transmitted to the agent terminal 27 side (step S45). This delivery instruction information includes the book identification information (for example, ISBN code) of the original 21 ′ and the number of insufficient books of the original 21 ′, and the distributor provides the original to the processing / printing company 26A based on this shipping instruction information. Ship 21 '. In addition, the server 25 instructs the processing terminal 26 side through the communication network 23 for the production process of the first book binding paper 22a and the shipping process to the purchase applicant after the production process (step S46). .

[C-2-1] Book 21 including first book binding paper 22a
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing when the book 21 is produced from the original 21 ′ in the printing / processing system. As shown in the figure, when the processor terminal 26 receives an instruction (order information) relating to the production of the first book binding paper 22a from the server 25 via the communication network 23 (step S51), the order information Is transmitted to the processing machine 37 and the printing machine 36. The instruction from the server 25 includes information related to the booklet processing such as the cutting process of the spine cover part and the punching process of the binding hole 11, and based on the received information, the following series of processing ( Steps S52 to S56) are performed.

  That is, as the separation processing for the original 21 ′, the processing machine 37 automatically performs the cutting processing of the spine cover portion of the original 21 ′, the punching processing of the binding hole 11, and the peeling processing (Steps S 52 and S 53). ). Here, FIGS. 5A and 5B show a front view and a lower side view of the plurality of first book binding sheets 22a produced by the booklet processing. As shown in the figure, the cutting process is performed by cutting the spine cover portion in the thickness direction at a position of, for example, 2 mm from the end surface 21'a along the spine cover of the original 21 'that has been bound and published. Is called. As a result, the back cover, the front cover, and the back cover (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5B) are separated from the original 21 ′. The remaining portion, that is, the portion of the page on which the text content 21a is described, is peeled one by one by the processing machine 37 as the independent first book binding paper 22a. This peeling process eliminates the problem that the plurality of first book binding sheets 22a stick to each other, and also reliably performs the printing process for the first book binding sheets 22a and the process for inserting the advertisement binding sheets 29 and the like. To be done. Further, the punching process of the binding holes 11 is formed at the same pitch interval as that of the binding paper 5 described above in one side portion that has been cut. In the cutting process, the spine portion may be cut so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle (see symbol α in FIG. 5B) with respect to the thickness direction (end surface 21′a). In this case, the binding holes 11 are formed in a state in which a plurality of binding sheets 22a cut obliquely are aligned perpendicularly to the sheet surface with the cut surface side as the back. Thereby, it is possible to make the book 21 with a small facet (see 21b in FIG. 5B) facing the spine, and it is easy to turn one by one at the opening side edge portion. It can be opened easily.

  In step S54, various printing processes including printing on the binding paper 22a after the peeling process, printing on the advertisement binding paper 29 and the book review binding paper 30 arranged between the pages of the binding paper 22a, and printing on the packaging box 39 are performed. The printing means such as the printing machine 36 is used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the first book binding paper 22a is, for example, at a position that substantially overlaps the page number portion of the arithmetic numbers printed on the original 21 ′ using normal ink from the beginning. A first information code 41 obtained by encoding the ISBN code and the page number is printed using transparent ink. The first information code 41 is, for example, a two-dimensional code, and can be read by an information medium (for example, a mobile phone with a camera) that reads and stores optical information. Further, since the first information code 41 is transparent, there is no problem even if the first information code 41 is printed so as to overlap the arithmetic numbers and the text content 21a. The information of the first information code 41 printed on each page of the book 21 only needs to include at least the page number, and the page number and all or part of the book information are combined. It may be information.

  When the purchase requesting person designates the annotation printing category at the time of the ordering, the annotation of the corresponding category is printed based on the annotation data. In this case, an encircling line 43b (see FIG. 3, which may be a side line or shaded) surrounding the phrase or description of the text content 21a is printed on the text content 21a portion of the first book binding paper 22a, and a marginal portion ( An annotation 43a is printed on the outer edge of the body content 21a. When the description of the annotation 43a does not fit in the margin of the first book binding paper 22a, the annotation is printed on an annotation binding paper (not shown) having the same size and shape as the paper 22a. Also good. In addition, when the advertisement printing is permitted by the purchase applicant, an advertisement corresponding to the advertisement binding sheet 29 is printed based on the advertisement data, and when the book review printing is selected, the book review data The book review is printed on the book review binding paper 30 based on the above. The index sheets 221 to 225 are partition sheets made of, for example, cardboard (which may be a resin material), and the book name, author name, and the like shown in FIG. In addition, for example, a second information code 42 (see a two-dot chain line in FIG. 4) in which the serial number is encoded is printed on the peripheral portion of the cover-side sheet 221 with a fluorescent paint. The second information code 42 (for example, a bar code) can be read by the reading device 38 that optically reads information, and is used for automatic sorting, packing, and the like. The cover sheet 221 may be a cover of the original 21 ′ separated by the cutting process. According to this, the cover can be used (utilized) as it is, and the index sheet 221 can be used. The manufacturing cost can be suppressed, for example, by omitting the printing. The index sheets 221 to 225 including the cover-side sheet 221 may be provided with a later-described bag (see FIG. 22).

  As shown in FIG. 15, the packaging box 39 is made of, for example, a single rectangular printing sheet (for example, thick paper) having a front cover 39a, a back cover 39b, and a back cover 39c of a paper size. In the packaging box 39, the width of the spine 39 b is set to a size corresponding to the thickness of the binding paper 22 and accommodates the binding paper 22. For example, a book name, an author name, etc. are printed on each surface of the front cover 39a and the back cover 39b. On the front surface of the back cover 39c, the orderer information such as the postal code, address, and name of the purchaser as the delivery destination, and the order code 45 that encodes the orderer information are printed. The order code 45 is a two-dimensional code, for example, and can be read by the information medium. Further, the same second information code 42 as the second information code 42 of the index sheet 221 is printed on the outer peripheral edge portion of the front surface of the back cover 39c with a fluorescent paint. Further, based on the image data, the contents of the front cover, the back cover, and the back cover of the original 21 ′ are printed on the front cover 39 a, the back cover 39 b, and the back cover 39 c of the packaging box 39.

  In step S55, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the annotation binding sheet, the advertisement binding sheet 29, the book review binding sheet 30, and the index sheets 221 to 225 are inserted as additional binding sheets into the first book binding sheet 22a ( By being bundled), these sheets 22 a, 29, 30, 221 to 225 are integrally handled as the binding sheets 22. Then, in the boxing process, the second information code 42 of the sheet 221 on the cover sheet 22 cover side and the second information code 42 of the packaging box 39 are read by the reading device 38, and control means (for example, the control device of the terminal 26) Only when it is determined that the two codes 42 and 42 match each other, the boxing is allowed. In this case, the binding paper 22 is packaged in a packaging box 39, and the packaging box 39 is further packaged by a transparent packaging means (for example, a transparent vinyl sheet) so that it can be seen by a person in charge of logistics such as a delivery person, a sorting person, etc. Is done. The book 21 thus manufactured is sent to the pre-registered address of the purchase applicant (step S56).

[C-2-2] Book 21 including second book binding paper 22b
FIG. 16 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 14 when the second book binding paper 22b is produced. As shown in the figure, when the processor terminal 26 receives an instruction (order information) relating to the production of the second book binding paper 22b from the server 25 via the communication network 23 (step S61), the order information Is transmitted to the processing machine 37 and the printing machine 36. Thereby, in the printing / processing system, a series of processes (steps S62 to S65) are performed based on the order information.

  First, the text content 21a based on the image data is printed by the printer 36 in order to manage the second book binding paper 22b. That is, in the processing after step S62, printing is performed to book a book 21 that can be separated from the beginning with respect to a book that is not commercially available as a paperback book, and binding of the spine cover portion as in a normal bookbinding process is performed. The attaching process is omitted. In the printing machine 36, for example, image data of an A5 size book (a book that is out of print) read in advance by the scanner is reduced to a paper size, and the reading order is set on both the front and back sides of the printing paper. Based on this, a plurality of pages are laid out (arranged) and printed so as to be continuous pages on the front and back of the printing paper.

  On the printing paper, the first information code 41, the surrounding line 43b, and the annotation 43a similar to [c-2-1] are printed together with the printing of the body content 21a by the printer 36. This printing paper forms the second book binding paper 22b by being cut into a paper-sheet size along the above-described arrangement of pages. Further, as in [c-2-1], the annotation information is printed on the annotation binding sheet, the advertisement is printed on the advertisement binding sheet 29, the book review is printed on the book review binding sheet 30, and the second information code for the cover-side sheet 221 is printed. Various printing processes such as printing 42, orderer information for the packaging box 39, order code 45, and second information code 42 are performed.

  In step S63, the binding holes 11 are punched in the same manner as described above so that the second book binding sheets 22b can be bound as independent sheets one by one. In steps S64 and S65, additional binding sheets such as an annotation binding sheet, an advertisement binding sheet 29, a book review binding sheet 30, and index sheets 221 to 225 are added to the second book binding sheet 22b. 22 b, 29, 30, 221 to 225 are integrally handled as the binding paper 22. Then, the binding paper 22 is packaged by the packaging means together with the packaging box 39 through the boxing process, and is sent out as the book 21 (step S65). Unlike [c-2-1], since the body content 21a is printed in step S62, each of the second book binding paper 22b, the annotation binding paper, the advertisement binding paper 29, and the book review binding paper 30 is provided. There is no need to print it separately. That is, in the server 25, image data, advertisement data, annotation data, and book review data related to the book 21 are edited as a book in advance and processed into printable print data, and the ordering information including the print data is communicated. The data is transmitted to the printing / processing system via the network 23. Based on this print data, in the printing / processing system, the book binding paper 22 can be printed and bound by the printing machine 36 and the processing machine 37. Further, unlike the present embodiment, the book 21 may be bound using a printing plate in the processing / printing company 26A.

[D. Send comment]
The annotation is registered by executing processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. As a starting point, for example, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the above [Buy Book], the server 25 notifies the orderer terminal 24 (book purchaser) via the communication network 23 of an annotation transmission guidance e-mail. The In order to register the annotation, first, the home page of the server 25 is accessed from the terminal 24 to display the entrance screen (step S71), and “send annotation” is selected on the entrance screen (step S72). In steps S73 and S74, the same member number and password as in steps S13 and S14 (here, a password such as a serial number attached to an e-mail) is input. If the input data is not registered, the server 25 displays that fact on the terminal 24 as not being able to provide the annotation transmission service (step S75), and returns to the entrance screen.

  If the collation result of the member number and the password matches (Yes in step S74), the server 25 displays an input screen (see FIG. 18) for inputting an annotation to the word or phrase in the text content 21a of the purchased book 21. It is displayed on the terminal 24 side (step S76). On this input screen, the book purchaser (the original purchase applicant) displays the page to be annotated in the book 21, and designates the word / phrase to be annotated and the corresponding part of the description using, for example, a mouse (step S77). Then, for example, a comment or comment (refer to the right half in FIG. 18) such as a detailed commentary, comment, column, etc. is input for an esoteric word or the like designated by a box. When the third party who has purchased the book 21 has already been annotated with respect to the word or phrase, the annotation can be added and corrected, and the annotation can be changed by the book purchaser or with other book purchasers. It will be created and edited by collaboration. For the input annotation, a category such as literature, history, economy, science, law, engineering is selected and input (step S79). On the server 25 side, the contents of the received data are checked, the annotation data is registered in the database, and the annotation registration process is terminated (steps S80 and S81).

[E. Send book review]
The book review is registered by executing processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. As a starting point, for example, the server 25 notifies the terminal 24 of an e-mail for sending a book review via the communication network 23 after a predetermined period of time has passed since the purchase of the book in the same manner as in the above-described [Send Annotation]. In order to register a book review, first, the home screen of the server 25 is accessed from the terminal 24 to display the entrance screen (step S91), and "book review transmission" is selected on the entrance screen (step S92). In steps S93 to S95, the same member number and password input processing as in steps S73 to S75 is performed. [Send Annotation] and “Book Review Send” may be accepted so that a third party other than the book purchaser can also perform, for example, on the condition of membership registration or payment of the consideration.

  When the collation result of the member number and the password matches (Yes in Step S94), the server 25 displays an input screen (not shown) for inputting a book review for the purchased book 21 on the terminal 24 side (Step S94). S96). On this input screen, the book purchaser inputs a book review as an introduction or a criticism related to the contents of the book 21 (step S97). On the server 25 side, the contents of the received book review data are checked and registered in the database, and the book review registration process is terminated (steps S98 and S99). On the server 25 side, the registered book reviews are ranked based on, for example, a predetermined evaluation standard by the administrator, and stored in the database in association with the ranking. As a result, the server 25 selects a high-ranked book review from the database when placing the order, and instructs the processor terminal 26 to print the binding paper 30 of the selected book review.

[3. Effect]
Now, books have various genres such as novels, classics, study books, and photo books. Such books are often read using commuting time, vacant time, etc., and when carrying a plurality of books, they may be bulky in a bag. In this regard, the book 21 of the present embodiment can separate only the necessary pages by the owner (book purchaser) as independent binding sheets 22 one by one. Moreover, since the book 21 is a paper size and has a binding hole 11 formed in the same manner as the binding paper 5, it is convenient to carry by binding to the system notebook 1, and the bag 6 functions effectively. That is, the collar 6 is prevented from falling to the binding side because the interference plate 16 and the binding ring 9 are prevented from moving to the binding side between the pages of the binding sheets 5 and 22. Therefore, the hook 6 can be prevented from being caught at the corners of the binding sheets 5 and 22, and even when a plurality of books 21 are bound, the target page can be opened immediately using the hook 6.

  As described above, in the book 21 and the bookbinding system of the present invention, the book 21 is formed by stacking a plurality of binding sheets 22, and is configured separately from the book 21 on one side of the binding sheets 22. A binding hole 11 inserted through the file ring 9 is formed, and a plurality of binding sheets 22 are formed as independent binding sheets 22 one by one, so that a desired number of sheets can be separated. For this reason, only a desired page (paper 22) can be bound for each of the plurality of books 21 in the file ring 9 such as the stem notebook 1 or the like. You can enjoy reading in parallel about books 21 of various genres without carrying around.

  Unlike the present invention, books are generally bound at the back cover portion by binding methods such as flat binding and wireless binding at the time of bookbinding. On the other hand, according to the book 21 and the bookbinding system of the present invention, the binding step for the binding paper 22 can be eliminated in the first place, and the cost of the bookbinding process can be suppressed. Moreover, according to the bookbinding system of the present invention, the server 25 instructs the bookbinding means to bookbinding according to the number of books 21 ordered based on the ordering information. Thus, since the book 21 is produced in response to the request of the orderer, the inventory can be reduced, and the bookbinding cost can be suppressed regardless of whether there is marketability for various books including paperback books. .

  The plurality of binding sheets 22 are formed by performing a cutting process on the spine cover portion of the original 21 ′ that has been bound and published and a punching process that forms a binding hole 11 on one side of the binding sheet 22. Includes paper 22a. According to this, the first book binding paper 22a can be processed relatively easily from the commercially available original 21 ', and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  Since the plurality of binding sheets 22 are peeled one by one after the cutting process and the punching process, it is possible to eliminate the problem that the first book binding sheets 22a particularly stick to each other. Further, in the bookbinding process, after the peeling process, it is possible to surely perform a printing process or the like on the plurality of first book binding sheets 22a one by one and to reliably insert the advertising binding sheet 29 or the like on an arbitrary page. This is convenient for manufacturing management.

  The plurality of binding sheets 22 are obtained by omitting the binding process of the spine cover portion as in a normal bookbinding process and printing the binding sheets 22 as a book 21 of a predetermined size and punching the binding holes 11. The second book binding paper 22b is included. According to this, the binding step in the bookbinding process can be eliminated, and the bookbinding cost can be suppressed as much as possible.

  Based on the ordering information, the server 25 determines which of the first book binding paper 22a and the second book binding paper 22b is used to create the book 21 that has been ordered. Instructing the production of the first book binding paper 22a or the second book binding paper 22b. According to this, it is possible to promptly specify an appropriate paper 22 (first book binding paper 22a or second book binding paper 22b) according to various books to the bookbinding means.

  The various binding sheets 5 and 22 including the second book binding sheet 22b are subjected to a cutting process in which the edge is cut obliquely with respect to the thickness direction of the binding sheets 5 and 22 in the same manner as the first book binding sheet 22a. Can do. According to this, the binding sheets 5 and 22 can be easily turned one by one at the opening side edge portion, so that the target page can be opened more easily. In this regard, when the first book binding paper 22a is produced, the spine portion of the spine cover is cut as necessary, so that the man-hours are not increased by cutting the spine portion obliquely.

  The book specifying information for specifying the book 21 or the page number of the book 21 is printed on the binding paper 22 as a first information code 41 that can be read by an information medium that optically reads information. According to this, for example, by reading and storing the first information code 41 of the page where reading is interrupted by an information medium such as a mobile phone with a camera, it can be used as a so-called electronic bag.

  As the page number of the binding paper 22, an arithmetic number printed using normal ink and a first information code 41 printed using transparent ink at a position substantially overlapping the arithmetic numeral are attached. ing. According to this, since the first information code 41 is transparent, there is no problem even if it is printed so as to overlap the arithmetic numbers and the text content 21a, and the arithmetic numbers are read as Merckmar by the information medium. And can be made practically suitable.

  The binding paper 22 includes an advertising binding paper 29 on which an advertisement previously recruited from the advertiser for each category of the book is posted, and the advertising binding paper between the pages of the binding papers 22a and 22b on which the text content 21a of the book 21 is described. This is a book 21 in which 29 is inserted and bundled. According to this, for example, by inserting the advertisement binding paper 29 every 10 sheets into the first book binding paper 22a, the advertisement binding paper 29 is naturally seen during reading. , High advertising effect can be obtained.

  On the packaging box 39, the orderer information such as the address and name of the orderer who ordered the book 21 or the order code 45 obtained by encoding the orderer information is printed. According to this, the delivery destination can be specified in the packaging box 38, and the name of the owner can be specified in the packaging box 38 as the storage box after the purchase in the book 21 that can be separated. , Its owner can be easily confirmed.

  A scanner that reads the contents of the original as image data and a database that stores the image data are provided. The second book binding paper 22b and the packaging box 39 are each printed based on the image data by a printing unit. According to this, even if the book is out of print as described above, the second book binding paper 22b and the packaging box 39 can be permanently published for the required number of books according to the market demand. Therefore, the bookbinding cost in on-demand publishing including reduction / enlargement printing to the library size can be suppressed as much as possible.

  The information provider terminals 24 and 28 that can be connected to the communication network 23 (information communication network) and a database that stores information on the book 21 provided from the terminals 24 and 28 are provided. In response to a request for additional printing from the orderer terminal 24, the bookbinding means is instructed to perform additional printing for additionally printing information on the binding paper 22. According to this, various information that complements the text content 21a can be integrally held for the book 21 in response to a request from a purchase applicant.

  That is, the information on the book 21 includes an advertisement previously recruited from an advertiser, and the advertisement is an advertisement related to the book 21 and different from the book 21. Accordingly, while the advertisement can be printed without impairing the satisfaction of the purchase applicant, the advertiser of the book presents the advertisement to the target person who is highly likely to purchase as an effective marketing means related to the book 21. Can increase the advertising effect of the book.

  Further, the information for the book 21 includes advertisements for periodicals recruited from advertisers in advance, and the server 25 periodically sets a reception period and performs additional printing of advertisements for periodicals received during the reception period. Instruct the bookbinding means. Therefore, the advertisement content of the periodicals can be transmitted to the purchase applicant at an appropriate time, and a more effective book advertisement means can be provided.

  Further, the information about the book 21 includes a description or a comment on the description or phrase of the book 21. According to this, the purchase applicant can obtain useful information that complements the contents of the book 21, and can deepen knowledge about the contents of the book 21. Further, it becomes easy to refer to the comment or the annotation by printing using the margin of the binding paper 22.

  The information about the book 21 includes a book review of the book 21, and the server 25 selects a book review having a high evaluation from book reviews evaluated based on a predetermined evaluation standard, and bookbinding additional printing of the selected book review. Instruct the means. According to this, the purchase applicant can understand the contents of the book 21 or can consider it from the viewpoint of others. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of the author of the book 21, the reader can introduce the book 21. You will receive advertising. In addition, since highly evaluated book reviews are selected and printed, acts such as mischief can be avoided and the quality of the book reviews can be ensured.

  Since the server 25 receives a part of the plurality of binding sheets 22 from the orderer terminal 24 as an ordering unit, the server 25 can respond to the needs of the purchaser in detail and sell the books 21. Can be promoted. When the part of the ordered book 21 is produced from the first book binding paper 22a, the remaining part (part other than the part) of the book 21 is divided and sold by other purchasers. Can be the target of. When the part of the book 21 ordered is produced from the second book binding paper 22b, it is sufficient to print only a part of the book 21 based on the image data.

The bookbinding means prints the serial number as a second information code 42 that can be read by the information medium 38 on the packaging box 39 for packaging the book 21 and the cover of the book 21, respectively. When packaging in 39, the second information code 42 of the book 21 read by the information medium 38 is compared with the second information code 42 of the packaging box 39, and only when these second information codes match each other. Allow the packaging. According to this, for each of the book 21 and the packaging box 39, manufacturing management can be performed with the same serial number to achieve automation during packaging, and packaging errors during packaging can be reliably prevented. .
The bookbinding system is configured to perform a printing process after the peeling process. For this reason, the printing process can be reliably performed one by one on the first book binding paper 22a that is independent one by one through the peeling process.

Second Embodiment
FIG. 20 is a view corresponding to FIG. 13 showing the second embodiment, and points different from the first embodiment will be described. The second book binding paper 22b of the present embodiment is produced based on a book that is scheduled to be issued periodically (for example, an A5 size learning book issued every month).

  First, the server 25 transmits information for delivering the original learning book to the processing / printing company 26A to the agency terminal 27 side via the communication network 23, for example, on the issuance date of the learning book (see FIG. Step S101). The number of study books in the delivery instruction information of this embodiment is designated by one for each type, and the distributor sends the original study book to the processing / printing company 26A based on this dispatch instruction information. .

<Other embodiments>
FIGS. 21 to 32 show other embodiments. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted, and different points will be described below.

  FIG. 21 (a) shows a collar 51 according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 21 (c) is an enlarged bottom side view showing the vicinity of the binding tool 3 according to this embodiment. The scissors 51 of the third embodiment are different from the scissors 6 of the first embodiment in the following points. That is, as shown in FIG. 21A, the interference plate 53 provided in the middle portion 51a of the flange 51 is formed, for example, from a metal material into a rectangular thin plate shape. Further, the interference plate 53 has a symmetrical shape with the center line S2 as the axis of symmetry in the same manner as the flange 6. On the other hand, the binding tool 3 is integrally provided with an interfered portion 54 (see FIG. 21C), which is located on the lower side of the base 7 and protrudes so as to be engageable with the interference plate 53. Is provided. The interfered portion 54 is located in the vicinity of the lower end of the binding sheets 5 and 22 and is formed so as to protrude toward the engaging portion 9c side of the ring pieces 9a and 9b when viewed from below. The interfered part 54 may be provided directly in the vicinity of the spine 2b of the main body cover 2.

  The interference plate 53 of the collar 51 is locked in contact with the side surface portion 54a of the interfered portion 54 with the main body cover 2 opened (see FIG. 21C), and with the main body cover 2 closed (see FIG. 21C). (Not shown), and is brought into contact with and locked to the tip 54b of the interfered part 54. Therefore, the drop-off preventing means of the present embodiment includes the interfered portion 54 provided on the base 7 or the main body cover 2 and the interference plate 53 of the flange 51. Accordingly, the collar 51 can reliably prevent the binding plate 53 from moving to the binding side between the pages of the binding sheets 5 and 22 by the engagement of the interference plate 53 and the interfered portion 54. In addition, even if the front and back surfaces of the interference plate 53 are reversed, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be achieved, such as allowing the interference plate 53 to function as a drop-off preventing means.

  FIG. 21 (b) shows a collar 55 in which the configuration of the collar 51 of the third embodiment is partially different. The mounting portion 56 of the hook 55 includes a hook body 56a and an auxiliary hook 56b provided on the hook body 56a so as to be swingable between a closed position (see a solid line in the figure) and an open position (see a broken line). It has a well-known configuration. That is, the auxiliary hook 56b is biased toward the closed position by a biasing force of a biasing member (not shown), and the operation piece 56c integrated with the auxiliary hook 56b moves toward the open position against the biasing force. Operated. By this operation, the mounting portion 56 can be easily attached to and detached from the auxiliary ring 10 or the binding ring 9. An elongate chain-like portion 57 made of a metal material is used for the collar 55 instead of the string-like portion 12. Further, the interference plate 58 of the collar 51 is a drop-off preventing means having a disc shape, and has a bilaterally symmetric shape like the interference plate 53. Accordingly, the hook 55 can be prevented from dropping off toward the binding side as with the hook 51. In addition, the interference plates 53 and 58 may be appropriately changed, such as being formed in a rectangular frame shape, and the appearance design of the collars 51 and 55 can be improved as in the decorative portion 15.

  Although not shown in detail, the interference plates 53 and 58 and the string-like portion 12 are formed with a surface layer portion (coating layer 60) made of a friction material (for example, a resin material). Friction applying means (drop-off preventing means) for generating a frictional force is formed between 55 and the binding sheets 5 and 22. Although not shown, the interference plates 53 and 58 and the string-like portion 12 itself may be formed of a friction material and configured as friction applying means. According to these friction applying means, the movement of the collars 51 and 55 can be prevented by the frictional force between the collars 51 and 55 and the binding sheets 5 and 22, so that the collars 51 and 55 are prevented from dropping off to the binding side. It can prevent more reliably. In addition, a friction material (may be powdery) may be applied to one or both of the lower edge and the upper edge of the binding sheets 5 and 22 on the surface of the binding sheets 5 and 22, According to this friction imparting means, it is possible to prevent the above-described dropout of various types of wrinkles.

  FIG. 22A shows an index sheet 221A (a partition sheet as a so-called cover refill) according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The index sheet 221A is made of, for example, thick paper, and a flange 61 is integrally provided on one side (for example, the opening side edge). The collar 61 integrally includes a strip-shaped portion 62 having a long shape and a mounting portion 63 having a ring shape provided at a tip end portion 62 a of the strip-shaped portion 62. The base end portion 62b of the belt-like portion 62 is provided at a position corresponding to the binding hole 11 of the index sheet 221A. In the present embodiment, for example, the same height as the second binding hole 11 from the top in FIG. At this position, it is connected to the index sheet 221A. The length dimension of the belt-like portion 62 is set to be approximately the same length dimension as the lateral dimension L2 of the binding sheets 5 and 22, for example. As shown by a two-dot chain line in the drawing, the collar 61 folds the belt-like portion 62 back (or the front side) at the base end portion 62b and sandwiches the binding sheets 5 and 22 between the belt-like portion 62 and the index sheet 221A. In this state, the mounting portion 63 is mounted on the binding ring 9. In this way, the collar 61 is used as a mark sandwiched between pages of the binding sheets 5 and 22 so as to be spanned to the binding sheets 5 and 22 from side to side. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the above-described loss and scattering of the bag, and it is not caught on the corners of the binding sheets 5 and 22. Further, by using the index sheet 221A as the cover of the book 21, it is possible to sandwich the page read between the bag 61 and the index sheet 221A, and it is possible to make it easy to use. For convenience of explanation, the left-opening (left-binding) sheets 221 and 221A are shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 22A. However, right-opening (right-binding) sheets (binding paper 22) like ordinary paperback books are also shown. Good.

  FIG. 22B shows an index sheet 222A in which the configuration of the index sheet 221A of the fourth embodiment is partially different. The index sheet 222A is made of, for example, thick paper, and is configured by integrally having a long flange 64 provided at an upper edge portion thereof. The collar 64 is folded back to the front side or the back side at the base end portion 64b, and has a strip shape (strip shape) extending toward the lower edge opposite to the upper edge. According to this, it is possible to sandwich the page read between the ridge 64 and the index sheet 221A, and the same effect as the ridge 61 can be obtained. That is, the index sheet 221A or 222A functions as drop-off preventing means for holding the collar 61 or 64 by integrally forming the band-shaped collar 61 or 64 at the edge thereof. In addition, with respect to the collar 64, by preparing a plurality of types of index sheets (not shown) in which the position in the left-right direction (the position of the base end portion 64b) at the upper edge of the index sheet 222A is appropriately changed, In the system notebook 1, a plurality of baskets 64 can be used without overlapping each other.

  The index sheet 222A ′ shown in FIG. 22 (c) is made of, for example, a synthetic resin material, and has a semicircular (half-ring) covering on one side thereof, for example, at the same position as the base end portion 62b of the flange 61. A mounting portion 65 is provided integrally. A collar 66 is detachably mounted on the mounted portion 65. That is, the flange 66 includes an elongated chain portion 67 and ring-shaped mounting portions 68 a and 68 b provided at both ends of the chain portion 67. For example, the chain portion 67 is set to have a length substantially the same as the lateral dimension L2 of the binding sheets 5 and 22, and one mounting portion 68 a is attached to the mounting portion 65 and the other mounting portion 68 b is attached to the binding ring 9. Thus, the collar 66 is provided so as to be detachable from the index sheet 222A ′, and is used so as to be stretched to the left and right with respect to the binding sheets 5 and 22. Thus, the same effect as the collar 61 described above can be obtained. Can do.

  The index sheet 221A and the flange 61 may be formed from, for example, a single thick sheet (that is, by bending at the base end portion 62b), or the sheet 221 and the flange 61 formed separately may be combined at the base end portion 62b. You may couple | bond by a means (for example, adhesive agent). The index sheets 222A and 222A ′, the collar 66 and the mounted portion 65 may also be formed from a single material, or may be configured by joining different members.

  FIG. 23 is a schematic diagram illustrating the system notebook 1 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention with the binding sheets 5 and 22 omitted. A first surface fastener 72 having a rectangular shape, for example, is provided at the other end of the string-like portion 12 of the collar 71 opposite to the mounting portion 13. The length dimension of the string-like portion 12 of the present embodiment is such that the middle portion 71a of the collar 71 passes through the lower edge portion of the main body cover 2 in the state where the attachment portion 13 is attached to the auxiliary ring 10, and the first surface shape The fastener 72 is set so as to reach the outer surface side of the main body cover 2. On the other hand, the main body cover 2 is provided with a first sheet-like fastener 72 and a second sheet-like fastener 73 that are detachable, for example, located on the outer surface side of the back cover 2c. The second planar fastener 73 serving as the holding portion has, for example, a larger size and shape than the first planar fastener 72 serving as the held portion, and has a predetermined direction (for example, at the lower edge portion of the back cover 2c near the spine 2b. It is formed to extend in the lateral direction).

  In the above configuration, the collar 71 has the first surface fastener 72 at the first surface fastener 72 with the intermediate portion 71 a passing through the edge of the main body cover 2 with the attachment portion 13 attached to the auxiliary ring 10. Since it is held by 73 so as to be able to be released, it is possible to prevent the collar 71 from dropping off to the binding side. Further, since the second planar fastener 73 is formed to extend in a predetermined direction on the back cover 2c of the main body cover 2, the first planar fastener 72 is held so that the string-like portion 12 of the collar 71 does not loosen. The position can be adjusted, and the drop of the collar 71 can be prevented more reliably. In addition, the holding part and the held part as the above-described drop-off preventing means are not limited to the planar fasteners, and any structure may be used as long as the held part holds the releasable with respect to the holding part. In addition, the holding portion may be disposed vertically rather than horizontally, or may be disposed not on the main body cover 2 but on the index sheets 221 to 225 and the like.

  FIG. 24 shows the sixth embodiment of the present invention and is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the operation unit 8 ′ on the upper side of the binding tool 3. The operation unit 8 ′ has, for example, a horizontally long oval shape, and the horizontal and vertical dimensions thereof are set to be larger than those of the operation unit 8 having a general form. The operation portion 8 'is formed with round holes 74a and 74a located at both left and right ends, and is connected to the pair of round holes 74a and 74a and has a narrow width along the outer peripheral portion of the operation portion 8'. A groove 74b is formed. The mounting portions 13 of the plurality of flanges 6 can be attached to the hole portions 74 formed by the round holes 74a and 74a and the groove portions 74b, and the mounting portions 13 of the flanges 6 are connected to the pair of round holes 74b through the groove portions 74b. It can be moved between the holes 74a, 74a. Further, the operation portion 8 ′ is formed in a relatively large size so as to secure a predetermined pressing operation area 8a in which the hole portion 74 is not formed, and therefore can be easily operated with fingers.

  As described above, since the hole 74 is formed in the operation portion 8 ′, it is not necessary to provide the auxiliary attachment portion for the bag as a separate member. Therefore, when the bag is applied to the system notebook 1, an increase in the number of parts can be suppressed, and an inexpensive and simple configuration can be achieved. In the system notebook 1, the operation unit 8 ′ is arranged above the binding sheets 5 and 22. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, the shapes of the operation portion 8 ′ and the hole portion 74 may be appropriately changed. For example, a hole portion may be formed in the normal operation portion 8, or the hole portion 74 of the operation portion 8 ′ may be formed only in the groove portion 74b. You may comprise. Although not shown in the drawings, the shape of the operation part may be expanded so as to project only on one side (for example, the right side) in the left-right direction, and a hole may be formed in the expanded part. The shape may be expanded so as to project only upward, and a hole may be formed only in the upper part.

  FIG. 25A shows the seventh embodiment of the present invention and is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the operation unit 8 on the lower side of the binding tool 3. The binding tool 3 is provided with a locking portion 75 as a drop-off preventing means that is located on the lower side of the base 7 and protrudes so as to be able to engage with the middle portion 6 a of the collar 6. Specifically, the locking portion 75 is disposed, for example, on the lower side of the lower edge portion of the binding sheets 5 and 22 along the lower edge portion. In addition, the locking portion 75 includes, for example, a pair of metal ring pieces 75 a and 75 b as in the auxiliary ring 10, and an engagement portion 75 c formed on each of the tip portions by the operation of the operation portion 8. It swings between a closed position (see FIG. 25A) that engages and disengages with each other and an open position (not shown). According to this, as shown in FIG. 25A, the locking portion 75 locks the middle portion 6a of the ridge 6 so as not to move to the binding side in the vicinity of the lower side of the binding sheets 5 and 22. Further, it is possible to prevent the collar 71 from dropping off to the binding side. Moreover, since the latching | locking part 75 makes the ring form similar to the auxiliary | assistant ring 10, it can be used as an auxiliary | assistant ring for mounting | wearing the mounting part 13 of the collar 6 according to a user's liking.

  FIG. 25B shows a locking portion 75 ′ in which the arrangement configuration of the locking portions 75 of the seventh embodiment is varied. The locking portion 75 ′ is different from the locking portion 75 in that the locking portion 75 ′ is disposed on the base 7 slightly above the position where the locking portion 75 is disposed. For this reason, the lower edge of the binding sheets 5 and 22 is formed with a relief portion 76 in which the binding-side corner portion P0 is cut out along the locking portion 75 '. This locking portion 75 ′ can also obtain the same effect as the locking portion 75, and suppress the upsizing of the binding tool 3 (main body cover 2) due to the arrangement of the locking portion 75. Is possible. The shape of the locking portions 75 and 75 ′ may be appropriately changed. For example, the locking portions 75 and 75 ′ may be provided directly on the main body cover 2.

  FIG. 25C shows a binding ring 9 ′ in which the arrangement configuration of the binding ring 9 is different. The binding ring 9 ′ is arranged at a pitch L 0 ′ larger than the pitch L 0 of the binding ring 9, for example, so that the upper ring 9 ′ (not shown) and the lower ring 9 out of the six rings 9 ′. ′ (See FIG. 25C) is close to the upper vicinity and the lower vicinity of the binding sheets 5 and 22, respectively. According to this, it is possible to prevent the collar 71 from dropping off to the binding side by the rings 9 ′ and 9 ′ on both the upper and lower ends, and the configuration of the dropping prevention means can be simplified as much as possible. In the system notebook 1, the binding ring and the binding holes of the binding paper are not limited to the six-hole type, and may be configured by a plurality of binding rings and a plurality of binding holes, respectively.

  FIG. 26 is a view corresponding to FIG. 23 showing an eighth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, an interference plate 92 is provided in the middle portion 91a of the collar 91 at a position near the other end of the string-like portion 12 opposite to the mounting portion 13. The interference plate 92 is formed, for example, from a metal material into a relatively thin and thin plate shape, and connection portions (for example, connection holes 92a) for connecting the string-like portions 12 are formed at both ends thereof. . The length L6 of the interference plate 92 is set to be larger than the pitch L0 of the binding ring 9 (L6> L0). As a result, the interference plate 92 abuts against the plurality of binding rings 9 in the vicinity of the lower ends of the binding sheets 5 and 22 to prevent the collar 91 from moving toward the binding side. Accordingly, even when the collar 91 is in the state indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 26, the target page can be opened immediately by picking and operating the lower end portion of the string-like portion 12, and the interference plate 92 can be opened. Can be made to function as a drop-off preventing means for preventing movement of the collar 91 toward the binding side. The “string-like portion” of the bag of the present invention may be of a relatively long and narrow shape, and includes not only the string-like portion 12 but also the chain-like portions 57 and 67.

  FIG. 27 is a view corresponding to FIG. 23 showing a ninth embodiment of the present invention. The flange 95 is made of, for example, a flexible synthetic resin material, and integrally includes a slightly wide base end part 95a and a main body part 95b that gradually tapers from the base end part 95a to the front end part. It is formed in a cane shape. The base end portion 95a of the flange 95 is shaped to bend to the side (auxiliary ring 10 side) with respect to the main body portion 95b extending linearly up and down. The base end portion 95a is formed with a mortise-like (retaining shape) engagement recess 95c. The auxiliary ring 10 and the binding ring 9 can be easily fitted into the engaging recess 95c and prevented from coming off due to its flexibility. According to this, by coming into contact with the binding ring 9 in the vicinity of the lower end of the binding sheets 5 and 22, it is possible to prevent the collar 95 from dropping to the binding side. That is, the flange 95 has a linear main body portion 95b and a base end portion 95a as a mounting portion, and the main body portion 95b functions as an interference portion of the drop-off preventing means. In addition, it can be easily attached to and detached from the auxiliary ring 10 and the binding ring 9 with a relatively simple configuration utilizing the flexibility of the collar 95.

  FIG. 28 is a view corresponding to FIG. 15 and showing the tenth embodiment of the present invention. The packaging box 96 of this embodiment is different from the packaging box 39 of the first embodiment in the following points. That is, the packaging box 96 has a window portion 96a in which, for example, the back cover 39c is cut out in a substantially rectangular shape. Further, in the packaging box 96, the orderer information, the order code 45, and the second information code 42 described above are omitted. On the other hand, the orderer information is printed on the index sheet 221 arranged on the cover side of the book 21, and the RFID tag 97 is attached. Although not shown in detail, the RFID tag 97 has a known configuration in which an IC chip and an antenna are mounted on a film base material to form a so-called inlet. In addition to the orderer information, the RFID tag 97 stores book information such as a book name, author name, publisher name, and ISBN code, and also stores a serial number (content of the second information code 42) and the like. Has been. The packaging box 96 allows the orderer information on the index sheet 221 and the RFID tag 97 to be viewed from the window portion 96a in a state where the book 21 is accommodated.

  According to this, the name and the like of the owner can be clearly indicated on the index sheet 221 (binding paper 22) which is the cover of the book 21, and the owner can be easily confirmed even if the book 21 is lost. In addition, information can be exchanged with the outside in a non-contact manner by the RFID tag 97 in a state where the book 21 is accommodated in the packaging box 96, which can be useful for distribution management and automatic sorting of the book 21. In addition, the window part 96a of the packaging box 96 can be suitably changed including its shape, such as being formed from a transparent resin material. The orderer information, the order code 45, the second information code 42, and the RFID tag 97 may be printed on the packaging means for packaging the packaging box.

  FIG. 29 shows an eleventh embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates an eaves sheet 98b integrated with an index sheet 98a. That is, for example, a sheet material of a transparent synthetic resin material (which may be milky white) is folded into two at the opening side edge portion, and the index sheet (resin partition sheet) 98a A scissor sheet (resin scissor sheet) 98b is formed. Between the two sheets 98a and 98b, a joining portion 99b for joining the lower edge portions is formed, and portions other than the joining portion 99b and the bent portion 99a are opened. The collar sheet 98b is formed so as to extend from the opening side edge (folded part 99a) of the index sheet 98a to the binding side to the middle part in the left-right direction. Further, the saddle sheet 98b is set, for example, so that the protruding amount toward the binding side gradually decreases toward the upper side on one side (upper half), and is a strip shape toward the bent portion 99a side on the other side (lower half). An exposed portion 100 is formed in the notch.

  In the above configuration, the book 21 (binding paper 22) can be accommodated between both sheets 98a and 98b so as to be sandwiched by the pages to be read, and the binding sheets 5 and 22 are opened by the saddle sheet 98b. The vicinity of the side edge can be pressed. The two transparent sheets 98a and 98b can easily turn the page with fingers at the exposed portion 100 of the bag sheet 98b without interfering with reading of the page portion even when a predetermined page is sandwiched. Can be easy to use. Here, the scissors of the present invention refer to those used as marks that are sandwiched between the pages of the binding sheets 5 and 22, and the index sheet 98a of the present embodiment holds the scissors sheet 98b so as not to drop off. Functions as a drop-off prevention means.

  30 and 31 show a twelfth embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the collar 111 is different from the collar 6 in that the decorative portion 15 and the interference plate 16 are omitted. Further, the system notebook 1 of the present embodiment includes the first cutout portion 115 and the second cutout portion 116 on the binding sheets 5 and 22 and the main body cover 2 as dropout prevention means for preventing the bag 111 from dropping off. Yes.

  Specifically, the lower edge of the binding sheets 5 and 22 is positioned in the vicinity of the corner P0 (see FIG. 31A) on the binding side, and extends laterally along the lower edge. A first notch 115 cut out in a rectangular shape is formed. As shown in FIG. 31 (b), the lateral width L3 of the first cutout portion 115 is the first cutout portion continuous in the thickness direction D2 of the binding sheets 5 and 22 in a state where the binding sheets 5 and 22 are bound and stacked. For each of 115, the dimension is set such that the middle part 111 a of the collar 111 (string-like part 12) fits. That is, the binding sheets 5 and 22 are guided by the binding ring 9 to the binding tool 3 in the binding state, thereby generating a lateral shift amount ΔG1 between the upper and lower binding sheets 5 in FIG. Therefore, by setting the lateral width L3 dimension of the first notch 115 larger than the sum of the deviation amount ΔG1 and the width dimension L5 of the middle part 111a of the flange 111 (L3> L5 + ΔG1), the first notch In the portion 115, the hook 111 can be stably locked in a straight state. Further, the end portion on the binding side of the first cutout portion 115 is cut out so as to extend to the binding hole 11 side in the left-right direction in FIG. 31A, and the ridge 111 is straight along the arrangement of the binding rings 9. It is formed so as to be locked in such a state.

  A second notch 116 is formed on the lower edge of the back cover 2c of the main body cover 2 so as to be located in the vicinity of the corner P0 and cut in an inverted “L” shape along the edge. Yes. An opening end 116a, which is an introduction portion of the second notch 116, is formed at a position that substantially matches the thickness direction D2 of the binding paper 5 with respect to the first notch 115 with the main body cover 2 opened (FIG. 31 (a). )), And the upper portion is a wider retaining portion 116b. The retaining portion 116b is formed to be wide by the amount of relative shift ΔG2 between the first notch 115 and the second notch 116 that occurs when the body cover 2 is opened and closed. That is, by setting the dimension of the lateral width L4 of the retaining portion 116b to be larger than the total dimension of the deviation amount ΔG2, the width dimension L5 of the collar 111, and the deviation amount ΔG1 between the binding sheets 5 (L4> ΔG2 + L5 + ΔG1), with the main body cover 2 closed, the hook 111 is stably and reliably locked at the stopper 116b of the second notch 116 to prevent the hook. Although the first notch 115 and the second notch 116 are formed on the lower edge of the binding sheets 5 and 22 and the main body cover 2, the first notch 115 is formed on the upper edge of the binding sheets 5 and 22. Alternatively, the second notch 116 may be formed on the upper edge of the main body cover 2.

  As described above, the collar 111 is attached to the main body cover 2 or the binding ring 9, and the binding sheets 5 and 22 are bound to the lower end vicinity or the upper end vicinity of the binding sheets 5 and 22 in the state where the binding sheets 5 and 22 are bound to the main body cover 2. Positioned, drop-off prevention means (first and second cutout portions 115 and 116) for preventing movement of the collar 111 to the side edge of the binding hole 11 is provided. According to this, the collar 111 is blocked by the first cutout portion 115 and the second cutout portion 116 so as not to move and drop into the binding side between pages of the binding sheets 5 and 22. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the same effects as those of the first embodiment, such as preventing the hook 111 from being caught on the corners of the binding sheets 5 and 22.
