Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a message medium that can easily display apologies for long phone calls and other appropriate messages at public phone booths and other places.

[Conventional technology]

It is known that cards and other media bearing advertisements and the like generally exist. Such conventional cards simply have advertisements written on them, and are merely distributed for the purpose of advertising or services.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

On the other hand, a problem often encountered with public telephones is that the next user is forced to wait for a long time due to long calls. The next user often feels extremely irritated because they do not know when the previous person's call will end.

This kind of problem can be solved by using some means to notify the next user that the current user's phone will be a long-distance call, even if it is not possible to eliminate the long-term call. It can provide some relief by relieving frustration or encouraging people to decide to stop waiting there and go to another telephone box.

To do this, it would be sufficient to send some kind of message to the next user, such as ``This call will be long,'' but conventionally it was not possible to easily send such a message.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention thought of displaying such an appropriate message using a message medium such as a card to notify the next user. However, conventional advertising cards and the like do not have such a message display function. Furthermore, even if it were possible to add such a message posting function to conventional advertising cards, it would be difficult to post them easily, and it would be difficult to post them easily, such as by finding a gap and inserting them there, or by hand. You will have to make efforts to keep it going.

This idea was made in view of the above points,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a message medium which displays a necessary message and which can be posted simply and easily.

[Means for solving problems]

The message medium according to this invention has at least one surface, an arbitrary message is written on this surface, and a reusable adhesive is attached to a part of the surface, the back surface of the surface, or another surface. It is made by applying an adhesive, and by attaching it to any desired location via the adhesive-coated surface, a message written on the surface can be posted.

[Effect]

An arbitrary message is written on the message writing surface depending on the purpose of this message medium. For example, if the call is for a long phone call, write an appropriate message such as "We are very sorry. This call will take a long time." In this case, the notation method may be printed or freely handwritten. A reusable adhesive is applied to a part of the message writing surface, the back surface of the message surface, or other surfaces. When a user wants to post a message, he or she attaches the message medium to an arbitrary location via the adhesive-applied surface.

The surface to which the adhesive is applied may be determined as appropriate depending on the application. For example, if adhesive is applied to a part of the message writing surface, the message writing surface will face the other wall surface, so by attaching the message writing surface side to a transparent wall surface such as glass. It is suitable for a case where a message can be read from the opposite side of the transparent wall surface, for example, when a message medium is attached to the glass surface inside a public telephone box so that the message can be read from the outside. On the other hand,
When adhesive is applied to the back side of the message writing surface, the message writing surface is oriented in the same direction as the other wall surface, which is suitable for attaching a message medium to a normal wall surface.

In this way, since the reusable adhesive is applied to appropriate locations on the message medium, the message medium can be easily attached anywhere and can be used repeatedly to some extent.
In addition, this message medium has an appropriate message written on it, such as a notice of a long phone call or an apology, so the message can be easily posted by simply attaching the message medium as described above. This can alleviate the irritation of the next user and facilitate smooth communication.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a foldable card 1 in which the message medium has a bending part 1a approximately in the center and can be folded into two at the bending part 1a.
It has the shape of The inside surface when folded is the surface on which the message is written, and this message writing surface is visible in FIG. 1 when the card 1 is opened. On this message writing surface, for example, a long phone message such as "I'm really sorry, it will take a long time" is written, and an illustration such as an appropriate pattern may also be added. A reusable adhesive 2 is applied on one side of the message writing surface.

FIG. 2 shows the card 1 in a folded state. Part of the side of the card 1 is formed into notches 1b and 1c, making it easy to open the closed card 1. Further, the outer surface of the closed card 1 may be used as an advertising space 3 to display appropriate advertisements. In this way, it can be widely used as a message medium that also serves as an advertising medium.

The size of the card 1 is preferably such that it can be easily put into a clothes pocket or the like when folded. For example, the size may be similar to that of a telephone card or cash card. Further, a telephone card or a cash card can be sandwiched between the folded cards 1 and used as a card case.

When posting a message written on the card 1, the card 1 is opened and the adhesive 2 is attached with the side of the adhesive 2, that is, the message writing side facing the glass surface inside a public telephone box, for example. A message is then posted to the next user waiting outside the telephone box.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the message medium is in the form of a card case 4. In the embodiment shown in FIGS.
At least one outer surface 4a of the card case 4 is a surface on which a message is written. card case 4
has a foldable lid 4b, and this lid 4b
A reusable adhesive 5 is applied to the back side of the holder. On the contrary, this adhesive 5 is applied to the area facing the back surface of the lid 4b when the lid 4b is folded (that is, the surface 4
It may be applied to the upper side of (a). Figure 3 shows lid 4
b shows the open state, and FIG. 4 shows the closed state.

Normally, the lid 4b is closed to prevent cards (for example, telephone cards) placed inside from falling out. When posting a message, the cover 4b is opened to expose the area where the adhesive 5 is applied, and the card case 4 is attached to an arbitrary area such as the glass surface inside the public telephone box.

In this example as well, the side 4a with the message written on it
It is best to use the opposite side as advertising space.

It should be noted that the message medium may not be foldable as in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, but may consist of a single card.

Further, the content of the message is arbitrary.

Further, in addition to pure advertisements, appropriate information such as menus and timetables may be posted in the advertising space.

The message medium may be made of paper, plastic, vinyl, or any other material.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to this invention, since a reusable adhesive is applied to appropriate parts of the message medium, the message medium can be easily attached anywhere, which is an excellent effect. . In addition, since this message medium is written with an appropriate message such as a notice of a long phone call or an apology, the message medium can be easily attached anywhere, making it easy to post the message. can,
This can alleviate the irritation of the next user of the public telephone, and can facilitate smooth communication in other places where the present invention is used.
