[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a pocket album that can also be used as a photo frame.

[Prior Art] In a conventional pocket album, a pocket file made of transparent pocket film or the like is attached between the front and back covers, and a photo inserted into the pocket file can be inserted into the pocket file by turning the page. Now you can enjoy it.

On the other hand, a photo frame is a frame-like frame with legs for standing up on the back, into which a desired photograph can be inserted and displayed.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] However, with such conventional pocket albums, it is impossible to display a particular photo upright on a desk, etc., and for that purpose, it is necessary to purchase a photo frame separately. Must. When displaying a particular photo stored in the pocket album on a desk or the like, it is necessary to take the photo out of the pocket file and insert it into a separate photo frame.

Furthermore, if the user wants to carry around the photo in the photo frame with other photos, it is necessary to take the photo out of the photo frame and return it to the pocket file in the pocket album.

Furthermore, when thick synthetic resin plates, which are advantageous in terms of durability and workability, are used for the front and back covers, there is a problem in that the pocket file is difficult to weld and easily peels off.

The present invention aims to eliminate such problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a frame cover having a window, a back cover connected to the frame cover, and a boundary between the frame cover and the back cover or the back cover. The frame includes a transparent pocket file attached to a portion near the front cover, and cut-and-raised pieces provided on the back cover and serving as legs for raising the cover when raised, and any of the pocket files is attached to the back cover. In a pocket album configured to be visible from the outside through a window, a transparent film is laminated to the inner surfaces of the front and back covers of the frame, and the pocket file is sewn onto the transparent film. At the same time, an inner cover is provided in succession on the side opposite to the frame cover of the back cover,
This inner cover is characterized in that it can be selectively inserted at a position where the window of the frame cover is completely closed or at a position where the pocket album facing the window of the frame cover is backed up.

[Function] According to such a configuration, photos placed in a pocket file can be viewed like an album by opening the cover.

What's more, photos inserted in the pocket file facing the window on the frame's cover will be visible even when the cover is closed.
It becomes visible from the outside. Therefore, by raising the cut and raised pieces to make the cover stand up, that particular photograph can be displayed on a desk or the like in the same manner as a photo frame.

At this time, if you insert the inner cover in the position where the pocket file facing the window of the frame cover is backed up, the photo in the pocket file facing the window can be held between the frame cover and the inner cover, and the photo will not warp. It is now possible to display photos without windows facing the window. By inserting the inner cover in a position that closes the window of the frame cover, it is possible to prevent the photo facing the window from discoloring due to sunburn, etc., which is convenient for long-term storage.

Furthermore, the transparent film attached to the inner surfaces of the front and back covers of the frame facilitates binding of the pocket file to the cover. In addition, this film makes it difficult for dirt to adhere to the inner surface of the cover, and the appearance on the window side is particularly poor. Therefore, it becomes possible to tightly hold the displayed photograph from both sides, and warping of the photograph can be effectively suppressed.

As clearly shown in the drawing, this inner cover 4 is integrally connected to the back cover 3 on the side opposite to the frame cover, and as described later, completely blocks the window 21 of the frame cover 2. The dimensions are set such that it can be selectively inserted into a position where the pocket file 6 facing the window 21 of the frame cover 2 is backed up.

On the other hand, each pocket file 6 is made of a transparent thin film made of a sheet material such as vinyl chloride, and each pocket file has a pocket having an insertion opening at its upper edge. The pocket files 6 are stacked one on top of the other, and their binding edges are welded to the boundary portion 5 between the frame front cover 2 and the back cover 3.

When producing the pocket album 1 having such a configuration, the window 2 of the frame cover 2 is
1 is formed by punching, and then laminated on one side from the inner surface 2a of the frame cover 2 to the inner surface 3a of the back cover 3 and the inner surface 4a of the inner cover 4, and a transparent film 8 is attached. The film 8 is made of, for example, a plastic film such as polyethylene, and can be bonded by heat fusion or adhesive. After adhering the transparent film 8, the cut and raised pieces 31, 32, the locking piece 22, the through hole 41, etc. are provided, and the pocket file 6 is stacked on the film 8, with the binding edge as shown above. It is heat-sealed to the boundary portion 5.

According to this configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, by opening the frame cover 2 and the inner cover 4, the photos stored in each pocket file 6 can be viewed like an album. That is, by turning up each pocket file 6 one by one, the photos inserted in each pocket file 6 can be viewed.

Moreover, when the inner cover 4 and the frame cover 2 are folded inward and the pocket file 6 facing the window 21 of the frame cover 2 is interposed between the frame cover 2 and the inner cover 4, the photos inserted into the pocket file 6 can be inserted. is visible from the outside even when the frame cover 2 and inner cover 4 are closed. In other words, by inserting the inner cover 4 in a position that backs up the pocket file 6 facing the window 21 of the frame cover 2, the photograph inserted in the pocket file 6 can be transferred between the frame cover 2 and the inner cover 4. Can be held. As a result, it becomes possible to display a picture without warping in the window 21 of the frame cover 2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, by raising both cut and raised pieces 31 and 32 to make the pocket album 1 stand up, a photo facing the window 21 can be displayed on a desk or the like in the same manner as a photo frame. I can do it.

Therefore, according to the pocket album 1 having the above-described structure, it also has the function of a photo frame, so that a specific photo stored in the pocket album 1 can be stored in a separate frame, as in the past. There is no need to transfer the photos to a photo frame, and it is also no longer necessary to transfer the photos in the photo frame to a separate pocket album. Therefore, the photos in the pocket album 1 can be displayed on the desk at any time without being extracted from the pocket file 6, and there is no need to separately purchase a photo frame.

Moreover, the hinge 31b of each cut and raised piece 31, 32,
When you unbend 32b and return it to its original position,
As shown in FIG. 3, since the cut and raised pieces 31 and 32 form part of the back cover 3, it can be easily changed from a photo frame to a pocket album and carried around.

In addition, the boundary part 5 between the frame cover 2 and back cover 3
Since the transparent film 8 is laminated to the pocket file 6, the pocket file 6 is easily heat-sealed to the boundary portion 5, and is not easily peeled off. Moreover, if the transparent film 8 is glued to the inner surface 2a of the frame cover 2, the window 2
The appearance of the frame 1 is improved, and deformation due to warpage of the frame portion around the frame can be suppressed. Furthermore, the film 8 allows the front and back surfaces of the covers 2, 3, and 4 to have different textures.

Then, as in the above embodiment, if the film 8 is adhered to one side from the inner surface 2a of the frame cover 2 to the inner surface 3a of the back cover 3 and the inner surface 4a of the inner cover, the inner surface 2a of each cover 2, 3, and 4 is bonded. ,3a,4
a is less likely to get dirty, and even if it gets dirty, it can be easily wiped off.

Furthermore, if the cut and raised pieces 31 and 32 are provided as a pair on the back cover 3 and the respective cut and raised pieces 31 and 32 are engaged with each other, the pocket album 1 will be difficult to tilt when used as a photo frame. Become. Moreover, if either of the cut and raised pieces 31, 32 is placed on the lower side, the pocket album 1 can be used either vertically or horizontally depending on the photo.

Further, by providing the inner cover 4, when the photos in the pocket album 1 are to be stored for a long period of time, it is possible to prevent the photos facing the window 21 from discoloring due to sunburn or the like. That is, as shown in FIG.
When the pocket file 6 is inserted in a position where it is completely closed, light from the outside can be prevented from directly reaching the surface of the photograph held in the pocket file 6.
Therefore, it is convenient when storing photographs for a long period of time without displaying them, and it is possible to effectively prevent photographs from discoloring due to external light. Then, by folding the inner cover 4 under the pocket file 6 and opening only the frame cover 2, each pocket file 6 can be turned over and the photographs in each pocket file 6 can be appreciated.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the transparent film may not be attached to the entire inner surface of the back cover or inner cover, but may be attached from the frame cover to the vicinity of the cut-and-raised piece of the back cover.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a frame cover 102 having a window 121, a back cover 103, and an inner cover 104 are formed separately, and these covers 10
