Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Easy to properly fold two sheets, even if they are stacked on top of each other and about five sheets.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a postal mail return postcard.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, a postal postcard is made of a paper material having a predetermined paper quality and a predetermined thickness, and is formed in a rectangular shape having predetermined dimensions in the vertical and horizontal directions, as shown in FIG. In other words, it is the size of two normal postcards arranged side by side. One half on one side in the left-right direction is a postcard 31 and the other half is a reply postcard 32. The opposite side faces 33 and 33, respectively. , 34, that is, the surface for entering the address is set. Further, a crease 35 is provided at the boundary between the outgoing postcard 31 and the reply postcard 32 to allow folding in half, and the outgoing postcard is folded along the fold 35 so that the surface 34 of the reply postcard is inside. The surface 33 of the is oriented outward.

By the way, this type of postcard is used as a communication means for notifying a plurality of members of the information and a response regarding whether or not each member can attend when various organizations including alumni associations hold various meetings. It is often used, and the guide text of the meeting is written on the back of the outgoing postcard, and the attendance / absence, the address and name of the member, etc. are written on the back of the reply postcard. In addition, such items are often printed by ordering them from a printing company. Today, however, the number of copying machines is increasing because they can be easily copied on postcards by copying machines.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As mentioned in the previous section, it is necessary to fold a conventional postal return postcard into two folds with the surface of the reply postcard facing inward, so that it can be folded easily. In addition, a fold line is provided in advance at the boundary between the outgoing postcard and the reply postcard. However, since the postcard for postal mail itself is relatively hard, this crease only functions as a guide.In practice, the steps to press the fold contact after aligning the left and right edges of the postcard must be followed. It is difficult to say that the work is easy. As described above, in this postal mail postcard, because it is often the case that multiple sheets are printed and transmitted at one time for the purpose of use, folding with a large number of sheets is accompanied by great fatigue. Moreover, it is extremely inefficient. At the very least, when trying to fold four or five sheets at a time in order to improve work efficiency, each is of course roughly folded in half, which makes it easier for the post office to be accepted by the automatic postal code sorting machine. It will be difficult.

The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and it is possible to easily and properly perform post-folding even when the number of sheets is about five, as well as about two sheets. The purpose is to provide postcards.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides slits that are intermittently cut along the folds of a postcard and a reply postcard.

[0007]

[Action]

 Therefore, according to the present invention, the slits are intermittently cut along the folds of the outgoing postcard and the reply postcard, so that the folds are formed by the intermittent joints and are easily bent. Therefore, the fold line can be easily folded by simply tilting one side of the postcard or the reply postcard to the other side, and two folds can be surely folded along the fold line. For example, it is possible to realize proper folding in two even when about five sheets are stacked.

Further, according to this slit structure, it is possible to easily cut the fold line with a paper knife or the like on the receiving side of the postal reciprocal postcard, and to easily separate the return postcard.

[0009]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a postal mail reciprocating postcard, which is formed of a paper material having a predetermined paper quality and thickness into a rectangular shape of a predetermined size. That is, one half on one side in the left-right direction is the outgoing postcard 12, and the other half on the other side is the return postcard 13. On the opposite sides, the respective front sides 14, 15 are provided, that is, the side for writing the destination. A fold line 16 for guiding the folding of the postcard 12 is provided at the boundary with the outgoing postcard 12 on the surface 11A having the front face 15 of the reply postcard, and along the fold line 16 above. Elongated slits 17 that are cut intermittently are provided. As a result, the fold line 16 is made up of a joint portion 18 having a short intermittent length.

FIG. 2 schematically shows the step of forming the slit 17. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 21 denotes a roller, which has a plurality of arcuate blades 22 at equal intervals on its peripheral surface. Reference numeral 23 is a base, and has a narrow groove 24 on its upper surface for receiving the blade 22 of the roller 21. The mail reciprocating postcard 11 is set on the table 23 with the creases 16 aligned with the grooves 24, moves in one direction, and the blade 22 of the roller 21 that rotates at a predetermined position on the table 23 reciprocates postcards. The slit 17 is intermittently cut along the fold line 16 of 11.

Next, a description will be given of how to fold a postal reciprocal postcard in half according to the above embodiment with reference to FIG. In the above embodiment, since the elongated slit 17 is intermittently cut along the fold line 16 of the outgoing postcard 12 and the return postcard 13, the fold line 16 is formed by the intermittent short joint portion 18 and is folded. Therefore, the backside of the outgoing postcard 12 is tilted to the front surface 15 side of the return postcard 13, and the overlapping portions 18 of the folds 16 are easily folded by simply aligning them. Two folds are obtained, and with this slit structure, it is also possible to fold appropriately up to about five sheets even when they are stacked.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, since the elongated slits 17 are intermittently provided along the folds 16 of the outgoing postcard 12 and the return postcard 13, the folds 16 are intermittently short. It is made up of the napping portion 18 so that it can be easily bent, and if it is about five sheets, it can be easily folded in two even if they are stacked.

Further, since the fold line 16 is composed of the joint portion 18 having a short intermittent length, the fold line 16 can be easily cut by a paper knife or the like on the receiving side of the postal reciprocal postcard 11. Another advantage is that the outgoing postcard 12 and the reply postcard 13 can be easily separated.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 As is apparent from the above-described embodiment, the present invention has slits intermittently cut along the folds of the outgoing postcard and the reply postcard, so that the folds are made up of intermittent seams. It is easier to bend, so the folds can be easily folded by simply tilting one side of the postcard or the reply postcard to the other side, and you can fold it securely along the fold. With the slit structure, not only one sheet but also five sheets can be surely folded in two and the work efficiency can be greatly improved.

Further, according to this slit structure, since the fold can be easily cut with a paper knife or the like on the receiving side of this postal reciprocal postcard, the reply postcard can be easily separated. .
