Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a folding machine reading sheet which has a large amount of machine reading records and is small in size and easy to handle.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, sheets used for OCR (optical, character, reader), OMR (optical, mark, reader), bar code reader, magnetic reader and the like are known as machine reading sheets. These machine-readable sheets are usually used in a sheet-like form of a price tag size, a card size, a page size and as a winding form.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, conventionally, when a large amount of machine reading records are used, the size of the machine reading sheet becomes large. It is not possible to post it in a standard size envelope or mail it.If these are folded and used, the fold and the record will overlap, and when reading with a machine, the noise generated from the fold will cause misreading. It was inconvenient. For this reason, folding of the conventional machine reading sheet is strictly prohibited.

Therefore, in this invention, even when there are a large amount of machine reading records, it is possible to put the machine reading sheet in a regular space or put it in an envelope, and to provide a machine reading sheet that prevents misreading by the machine. To do.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve this object, according to the present invention, a folding portion that divides the unit sheet into a plurality of predetermined portions along a predetermined side of the unit sheet is orthogonal to a leading edge of the unit sheet. Folding machine readings provided in parallel, except for the vicinity of this folding part, where machine reading records that are orthogonal to the folding part and are related to each other are parallel to the leading edge, and the reading direction is perpendicular to the leading edge. It was a sheet.

[Operation] As described above, according to this invention, since the folding portion is provided at the predetermined portion of the machine reading sheet, the sheet can be vertically and horizontally folded into a size of a predetermined size. Since the recording is provided, it is possible to read the recording quickly and accurately without causing the recording to overlap the folding portion when reading with a machine, in the direction orthogonal to the leading edge of the unit sheet.

[Embodiment] This invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment of this invention.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a folding machine reading sheet according to the present invention. This folding machine reading sheet 10 is used for OCR, and is located along substantially the center of the left and right sides and the upper and lower sides of the sheet 1. A vertical fold 2 parallel to the leading edge and a horizontal fold 3 orthogonal to the leading edge are formed.
A recording unit 4 for machine reading is provided on each of B, C, and D by printing with a non-lead ink. Inside the recording unit 4 except for the vicinity of the folding units 2 and 3, parallel to the folding unit. A machine-readable record 5 related to each other, that is, a member number, a valid period, a name, an address, etc. are provided in OCR characters.

In the use, the folding machine reading sheet 10 is folded along the folding portion 2 into two, and then along the folding portion 3 into two, as shown in FIG. It is put in a cell phone and used. When necessary, it is taken out of the regular insert, returned to the unfolded state as shown in FIG. 1, inserted into the OCR, and the predetermined record 5 is read.
In this reading, the left side serves as the leading edge and is fed and scanned and read by the reading device. However, since the folded portions 2, 3 and the record 5 are configured not to overlap with each other, accurate reading can be performed.

Further, the machine-readable record 5 may be a record of digital information for OMR, a bar code reader, an optical memory reader, or the like, or a magnetic record for a magnetic reader, which can be recorded. As described above, the recording portion may be printed on the sheet or a recording layer may be provided, and the sheet may include a card shape, and the thickness thereof may be suitable for each purpose of use.

[Effect] As described above, the present invention is provided with the folding portion that is orthogonal to and parallel to the leading edge of the machine reading sheet, and is configured so that the folding portion and the machine reading record do not overlap except for the vicinity of the folding portion. Therefore, the sheet can be vertically and horizontally folded into a size of a predetermined size, and after folding and unfolding, a predetermined side or a fold portion orthogonal to this leading edge is used as a machine reading base line, quickly and accurately without any trouble. Since it can be read, even when the machine reading sheet is large and the machine reading sheet becomes large, it can be folded and downsized to a specified size and used in a regular storage box or in an envelope for postal use. It has the effect of being extremely convenient.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] 1. A folding portion for partitioning the unit sheet into a plurality of portions is provided at a predetermined portion along a predetermined side of the unit sheet so as to be orthogonal to and parallel to the leading edge of the unit sheet, and is parallel to the leading edge except near the folding portion. A folding machine reading sheet in which machine reading records that are orthogonal to the folding portion and are associated with each other are provided in a reading direction in which the reading direction is orthogonal to the leading edge.
