Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to improvement of postcards.

As is well known, a postcard is a postal item that is sent out on postcard paper of a predetermined standard with the contents of the communication written, as well as the address, name, etc. of the recipient and sender.

Communication contents include New Year's greetings, various greetings, guidance, notifications, etc., and it is frequently used because it can be easily written.

However, the contents of such postcards are often not carefully read, and they are also rejected without being viewed repeatedly.

This is because most of the content of the communication was just correspondence, and there was nothing else that would interest the recipient.

The present invention was devised to solve the problems mentioned above, and its purpose is to provide a postcard that can interest the recipient.

The postcard of the present invention includes a postcard paper having a predetermined size, a holding paper whose periphery is adhered to the back side of the postcard paper, a storage space formed between the postcard paper and the holding paper, and a storage space formed between the postcard paper and the holding paper. It is characterized in that it is composed of a disposable body warmer stored in a space and a protrusion provided on the holding paper protruding toward the storage space for positioning the disposable body warmer.

In other words, it is a postcard with a warmer included so that the recipient can use it.

Since the present invention is constructed in this way, it can interest the recipient.

As a result, the contents of the communication can be carefully read.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, it can be used as a body warmer.

Especially when mailed as a winter greeting,
It can make a good impression on the recipient.

Further, according to the present invention, while the device is being used as a body warmer, the recipient can repeatedly view the contents of the communication.

However, since the structure is relatively simple, it does not cost much.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a postcard according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway rear view. FIG. 3 is a longitudinal side view.

The main parts of the postcard 1 include a postcard paper 2, a holding paper 3, a storage space 4, a disposable warmer 5, and a protrusion 6.

The postcard paper 2 has a predetermined size.

In this example, the length is 148 mm, the width is 100 mm, and the thickness is 0.2 mm, which is the same as a government-made regular postcard, which is a second-class mail item.

Therefore, in the upper center of the front is the name 7 of the "postcard", and below that is the recipient postal code entry field 8.
However, on the left side is a stamp affixing column 9, in the middle left is a sender's postal code column 10, and below that is a dividing line 1.
1 are printed respectively, and the upper right side is a recipient address and name entry field 12, the upper left side is a sender address and name entry field 13, and the lower half is a communication field 14.

The holding paper 3 is one whose periphery is adhered to the back side of the postcard paper 2.

In this example, a paper material having a thickness similar to that of the postcard paper 2 is used, and is formed into a plate shape using a press or the like so that the center part is concave, and the outer shape is changed to the postcard paper 2.
The postcard paper 2 is bonded by interposing an adhesive or the like between the peripheral edge and the postcard paper 2.

The storage space 4 is formed between the postcard paper 2 and the holding paper 3.

In this example, the postcard paper 2 and the holding paper 3 are glued together at their peripheries, so that they are in a so-called airtight sealed state.

The disposable body warmer 5 is stored in the storage space 4.

This is composed of a content 15 made of iron powder, water, activated carbon, vermiculite, and salt, and a nonwoven fabric bag 16 that covers it.When the content 15 is mixed with air, It generates heat at an appropriate temperature.

Such products are widely available on the market, so use them. Commercially available products are provided with an outer bag made of synthetic resin film that further covers the bag body 16 to prevent it from generating heat during transportation, etc., and is isolated from the air. Store it.

The protrusion 6 is provided to protrude toward the storage space side of the holding paper 3 and is used to position the disposable body warmer 5.

In this example, it consists of one longitudinal protrusion and three horizontal protrusions perpendicular to the longitudinal protrusion, which are formed simultaneously when the holding paper 3 is pressed.

The protrusions 6 prevent the disposable body warmer 5 from shifting and its contents 15 from shifting, and also serve to reinforce the holding paper 3 to prevent the postcard 1 from being mailed.
It has the function of preventing changes in the thickness of the material.

Incidentally, on the upper corner of the back surface of the holding paper 3, a cutting line 17 is printed or otherwise drawn as shown by a dotted line, and a handling instruction 18 is written near this.

The postcard 1 configured in this manner is mailed to the recipient after the required information is printed or handwritten, a stamp is affixed to it, and the postcard 1 is mailed to the recipient.

Although the postcard 1 of this embodiment matches the size of a second-class regular postcard, it is too thick to be handled as a second-class regular postcard. However, since the thickness is within 10 mm, the first
It will be handled as non-standard size mail. Therefore, stamps must be affixed at a rate appropriate to the weight.

If the recipient receives this postcard 1, he or she will be interested in it and will read the message column 14, etc.

Then, after reading the instruction manual 18, cut along the cutting line 17 using scissors or the like, and shake it.

If this is done, air flows into the storage space 4 and the contents 15 are mixed, thereby generating heat.

Disposable warmer 5 generates heat around 60 degrees,
Since it is covered by the postcard paper 2 and the holding paper 3, it is kept at an appropriate temperature, and there is no need to separately prepare an outer bag made of cloth or the like.

Of course, depending on the recipient, the disposable warmer 5 can be taken out and used.

Although the postcard paper 2 was produced in the same manner as a private postcard in the previous embodiment, a government postcard may also be used.

In the previous embodiment, the holding paper 3 has an outer shape that matches the postcard paper 2, but the present invention is not limited to this.

The degree of sealing of the storage space 4 may be increased by impregnating or coating the postcard paper 2 and the holding paper 3 with a synthetic resin and heat-sealing them.

Further, the degree of sealing of the storage space 4 can be increased by wrapping the entire postcard 1 with a synthetic resin film 19 shown by the dashed line in FIG. In this case, the synthetic resin film 19 may be made transparent and the recipient's address etc. may be written on it using a special writing instrument.

In the previous embodiment, the protrusion 6 was formed integrally at the same time as the holding paper 3 was pressed, but the protrusion 6 is not limited to this, and may be provided separately, and its shape is not limited to a linear shape but may be any shape. It can be made into something.

Although the sender's postal code field 10, the sender's address/name field 13, and the communication field 14 were provided on the front side of the postcard paper 2 in the previous embodiment, they may be provided on the back side of the holding paper 3.

The cutting line 18 and the instruction manual 18 are not limited to the previous embodiments, and can be changed to any desired position.
