An embodiment of a notebook calendar having a notebook function of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<Note calendar structure>
The notebook calendar 1 according to the embodiment can be used as a normal spread notebook in an open state, and can be used as a stand-alone desk calendar in a state in which the fold portion A22 and the fold portion B32 are connected, and can be crushed and used as a note. can do.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the notebook calendar 1 includes a cover A2 having a folding part A22, a cover B3 having a folding part B32, A-side paper 11 and B-side paper 12 of industrial standard size, and A-side. And a binding tool 6 for binding the paper 11 and the B-side paper 12 so as to be rotatable. In the illustrated notebook calendar 1, A5 size A-side paper 11 and B-side paper 12 are spelled. The A-side paper 11 and the B-side paper 12 may be provided with a cutting sewing machine for enabling separation.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cover A2 according to the embodiment is configured by a single resin flat plate and is divided into a cover part A21 and a folding part A22. Two folding lines (A41, A42) are formed between the cover part A21 and the folding part A22. The cover A2 can be composed of a single cardboard, but is preferably composed of a resin plate from the viewpoint of durability.
For example, a resin plate having a thickness of 0.4 to 1.2 mm can be used, but it is preferable to use a resin plate having a thickness of 0.5 mm or more in consideration of stability when used as a desk calendar. . On the other hand, the thickness of the resin plate is preferably 0.4 to 0.8 mm because the thickness of the resin plate is increased and the repulsive force at the time of bending is increased.

  The folding part A22 can be folded inward or outward along the folding lines A41 and A42. The short side of the folding part A22 is configured to have a length that constitutes the stable and unobtrusive bottom surface part 7, for example, 2 to 6 cm or 1/6 to 1/3 of the short side of the cover A2. is there. The corner portion of the folding portion A22 has a rounded shape so that it is difficult to be caught during use. When the folding part A22 and the folding part B32 are folded inward, it can be used as a bookmark for storing the page position of the notebook, it looks like a book cover, and the design is good.

The fold portion A22 constitutes the bottom surface of the self-standing triangular desk calendar in a state of being folded outward and connected to the fold portion B32. The cover A2 may be made of a resin plate, and the surface thereof may be textured to give a high-class feeling. Since this resin plate can be of any color, it can be provided with a color variation or a pattern can be printed. It is also possible to print characters and designs such as advertisements, company names, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses at arbitrary locations on the cover A2. Moreover, it is also possible to display personal information, advertisements, etc. in an inconspicuous place by printing characters and symbols on the back side (the side visible in FIG. 1) of the folding part A22.
Since the configurations of the cover B3, the cover portion B31, and the folding portion B32 are the same as those of the cover A2, the cover portion A21, and the folding portion A22, description thereof is omitted.

  The fold lines A41 and A42 are fold lines for folding the fold portion A22 inward or outward, and are formed in the cover portion A2. Although the fold lines A41 and A42 can be formed by heat streaks, half-cut streaks, streak pushing or sewing lines, a resin plate having a thickness of 0.5 mm or more has a problem that it is difficult to use if the repulsive force is too strong. As a result of the trial production, the combination of the line pushing and the fully-extracted sewing machine was the most effective in reducing the repulsive force.

FIG. 5 shows an enlarged view for explaining the fold lines A41 and 42 formed by the streak pushing and the fully punched sewing machine. The streak push 43 is a groove formed by pressing from the front side and / or the back side of the cover A2. In order to easily fold the folded portion 2 inward and make it difficult to fold outward, it is preferable to perform streaking from the front side of the cover A2 (the side visible in FIG. 3). As shown in FIG. 5, when the streak is formed so that the groove 43a is formed on the front side, it can be easily folded inward (in the direction of forming an inverted V shape in FIG. 6) due to the action of the groove bottom 43b (in FIG. In the direction of forming) it becomes difficult to fold outward.
The fully punched sewing machine 44 is a through-hole having substantially the same length and the same width as the stripe pushing.
The length of the fully punched sewing machine is optimally set according to the thickness of the cover A2. For example, in the case of a polypropylene (PP) plate having a thickness of 0.5 to 1.0 mm, streaks are pushed at intervals of 0.5 to 1.5 cm. And a fully-extracted sewing machine are disclosed to be alternately arranged at equal intervals. A fold line composed of a streak pusher and a fully punched sewing machine can be simultaneously formed by an automatic flat plate punching machine. The streak push is formed without applying heat, but the heat streaks are formed by applying heat of about 100 ° C., for example.

Although the fold line A can be constituted by a single line, it is preferably constituted by two fold lines (A41, A42) as illustrated. This is because by configuring the fold line A with two fold lines, the repulsive force when the cover A2 is configured with a resin plate can be suppressed more than with a single fold line. Further, by configuring the folding line A with two, even when the number of pages of the A-side paper 11 is increased and the thickness is increased, the folding can be performed without being affected by the increase. The two folding lines (A41, A42) are parallel, and the distance between them is, for example, several mm.
Two fold lines (B51, B52) are also formed between the cover portion B31 and the fold portion B32, but the description is omitted because it has the same configuration as the fold lines (A41, A42).

  The folding part A22 is provided with a self-supporting engagement member A23 composed of two insertion openings, and is engaged with a self-supporting engagement member B33 composed of two insertion pieces provided in the folding part B32. As shown in FIG. 4A, a self-standing shape having a triangular shape in a side view can be formed. The number of the self-supporting engagement members A23 and the self-supporting engagement members B33 is not limited to two illustrated, and may be one or three, for example. There was no substantial difference in connecting force between the three and three. Therefore, in view of the effort of the user, it can be said that the number of the self-standing engaging members A23 and the self-standing engaging members B33 is preferably two.

The shape of the insertion port that constitutes the self-standing engagement member A23 is not limited to the illustrated saddle shape, but as shown in FIG. 7, a hole having a small opening (notch) swells due to the thickness of the plate material, which is easy to use. It was bad. Therefore, it can be said that it is preferable to use an elongated hole having a certain width or more in the insertion direction (direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction). The self-standing engagement member B33 can be formed in an arbitrary shape. For example, it is disclosed that the design is improved by forming the shape of an object such as an animal or a vegetable. In addition, it is preferable that the self-standing engaging member B33 is provided with a widened portion (a portion slightly wider than the insertion port) for preventing the slipping-out engagement member B33.
The self-standing engagement members (23, 33) can be configured by providing, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener or a plastic hook. However, in order to make the second posture described below practical, It is preferably realized by a combination of an insertion piece having a mouth and a widened portion.

  A closing member A24 made of a hook-and-loop fastener (male) is provided at the left and right center of the folding portion A22, and is engaged with a closing member B34 made of a hook-and-loop fastener (female) provided at the left and right center of the folding portion B32. It is possible to fix the notebook calendar 1 in a closed state in a flat plate shape (see FIG. 8). Although the closing member A24 and the closing member B34 can be configured by plastic hooks, they need to be pushed in to be engaged, and are made of plastic, so that the durability against wear and the like is low. Moreover, although the closing member A24 and the closing member B34 can also be comprised with a magnet, cost becomes high. Therefore, it is preferable to use a hook-and-loop fastener that can be engaged with one touch and is inexpensive.

<Use as notebook>
As shown in FIG. 1, the notebook calendar 1 can be used as a notebook by opening the A-side paper 11 and the B-side paper 12 so as to be spread apart. Since the A-side paper 11 in the embodiment is horizontally written, the user can take a note as it is while checking the calendar of the B-side paper 12. That is, it is preferable to print a ruled line and / or a pattern (for example, a grid) suitable for horizontal writing from the top to the bottom on the A-side paper 11 paired with the B-side paper 12 on which the calendar is printed. . Since the A-side paper 11 of the embodiment is printed with only horizontal writing ruled lines (no characters are printed), the cover A21 and the cover B31 are closed so that they face each other as shown in FIG. The user can also use the A-side paper 11 and the B-side paper 12 by turning them up and down or up and down. Unlike the exemplary embodiment, a calendar may be printed on the A-side paper 11 and a ruled line and / or a pattern may be printed on the B-side paper 12.

The A-side paper 11 of the embodiment is printed with a ruled line extending in a direction orthogonal to the long side of the notebook calendar 1 on a page that does not pair with the calendar. The same applies to the B-side paper 12 on which no calendar is printed. That is, the A-side paper 11 that is not paired with the calendar and the B-side paper 12 on which the calendar is not printed are such that the long side of the notebook calendar 1 is perpendicular to the user and the short side is parallel to the user. In the positional relationship, it is preferable to print ruled lines and / or designs suitable for horizontal writing from top to bottom.
The total number of pages of the A-side paper 11 and the B-side paper 12 is, for example, about 12 to 100 sheets. However, in consideration of use as a notebook or notebook, the total number is preferably 20 or more, more preferably 30. More than one. Two fold lines (A41, A42) are formed between the cover portion A21 and the fold portion A22, and two fold lines (B51, B52) are also formed between the cover portion B31 and the fold portion B32. Therefore, even if the number of pages is 20 to 30 or more and the thickness of the paper is increased, the usability is good. Thus, in this invention, since the number of pages of the notebook calendar 1 can be increased, it is suitable for use as a notebook.

<Use as a desktop calendar>
By forming an acute angle with the facing cover part A2 and the cover part B3, and folding and connecting the folding part A22 and the folding part B32 to the outside, it is possible to form a self-supporting triangular desktop calendar (FIG. 4). (See (a)). The B-side paper 12 is printed with a calendar from January to December, and can be used as a desktop calendar by turning the page so that the page of the month to be used appears.

<Write to desk calendar>
The notebook calendar 1 in the shape of a desk calendar that is self-supporting in a triangular shape in side view is pressed from the outside in a first posture (see FIGS. 4A and 9) in a state where no force is applied from the outside. And a second posture (see FIG. 4C).
In the first posture, the self-supporting engagement member A23 made of an insertion piece is inserted and engaged with the self-supporting engagement member 32 made of an elongated hole, so that the central portion of the bottom surface portion 7 viewed from the side is slightly inward. (When the bottom surface portion 7 is viewed from the bottom side, it has a V-shape with a moderate angle). When the desk calendar having such a structure is placed so that the A-side paper 11 or the B-side paper 12 is in contact with the upper surface of the desk and pressed against the upper surface of the desk, the bottom portion 7 is raised as shown in FIG. As the distance increases, the distance between the cover parts A21 and B31 approaches, and when pressed further, the bottom surface part 7 is crushed and the distance between the cover parts A21 and B31 becomes closer and the second posture shown in FIG.

  In this second position, as shown in FIG. 10, the sheet is flat enough to be used as a notebook, so the A-side paper 11 or B-side paper is applied while applying a pressing force on the little finger side of the user's hand holding the writing instrument. 12 can be stably written. When the user releases the pressing force on the notebook calendar 1, the notebook calendar 1 returns to the first posture due to the repulsive force of the folding part A22 and the folding part B32 made of a resin plate.

  The notebook calendar 1 of the present invention described above can be used as a notebook (or notebook) and can also be used as a stand-alone desk calendar. Since the notebook calendar 1 is restrained from being repelled by the two folding lines (A22, B32), the notebook calendar 1 can have the appearance of a notebook with a book cover. Furthermore, even when this notebook calendar 1 is used as a desktop calendar, it is possible to provide an unprecedented usage mode in which writing can be performed by crushing due to the shape change of the bottom surface portion 7.
