SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible for a visually impaired person to answer a question alone, without using a special machine.・ For the purpose of providing answer sheets.

[0005]

According to the question / answer sheet according to claim 1, a question item and an answer branch are formed on a base material by a raised pattern, and a label capable of hiding the answer branch is releasably attached. It is characterized by having done.

The substrate according to the present invention is capable of forming question items and answer branches described later on its surface by a raised pattern, and a label described below can be releasably attached. . To put it concretely,
Paper and plastic are examples. Further, in order to improve the peelability of the label, a release agent such as silicone may be partially applied.

The form of the base material may be a single-cut form, a booklet form, or the like.
It is not particularly limited.

Next, the question item and answer branch according to the present invention are formed by a raised pattern which is raised several millimeters from the surface of the base material, and the question item can be read by touch. An example of the legible pattern is a Braille pattern.

Here, in order to form the raised pattern, a foaming printing method or a barco printing method can be used.

In the foam printing method, ink that foams by heating is printed in a pattern using a screen printing method capable of thick film printing, and then foamed by heating to increase the volume of the ink to about 2 to 5 times. It is a printing method of inflating and forming a raised pattern.

Here, the ink which is foamed by heating is
For example, a water-soluble additive for forming an ink in a dispersion medium of an oil-in-water emulsion resin as a binder and an ink-like emulsion resin containing a water-soluble solvent, a chemical foaming agent as a foaming substance, and if necessary. Examples of the ink include a surface improving agent and an auxiliary agent added as an additive.
The ink foams when heated at about 130 ° C.

The barco printing method prints an ink or an adhesive in a pattern, sprays a granular resin before the ink or the adhesive hardens, adheres the granular resin, and then softens and melts the granular resin by heating to raise it. It is a printing method for forming a pattern.

Next, the label capable of hiding the answer branch is a relatively thick label base material having an adhesive layer formed on the back surface thereof and capable of being peeled off after being attached to the base material. The adhesive layer after peeling must be attached to the answer branch. Further, the part to which the label is attached may be on the base material on which the question items and answer branches are formed by the raised pattern, or may be on another base material on which only the label is attached.

Then, the label is peeled off from the substrate,
The question can be answered by pasting it on the answer branch that corresponds to the question item or by pasting it on the answer branch that does not apply.

When the label is attached to the base material, it is preferable that there be a standard for attachment.

That is, the question / answer sheet according to claim 2 is based on the question / answer sheet according to claim 1, and is characterized in that a sticking reference pattern is formed by a raised pattern in the vicinity of the answer branch. It is a thing.

Here, the sticking reference pattern preferably comprises a pattern having a shape such as a square or bracket, and a pattern indicating which question the pattern is for. Then, using the sticking reference pattern as a clue, the label can be surely stuck to the answer branch.

On the other hand, in the question / answer sheet according to claim 1, when only the legible pattern is formed on the question / answer sheet, it may be difficult to collect the answers. The question / answer sheet according to claim 3 is intended to solve such a problem.

That is, the question / answer sheet according to the third aspect is based on the question / answer sheet according to the first aspect, and the question items and answer branches are also formed as visible character information.

In order to form the question items and answer branches as visible character information, a usual printing method using letterpress, planographic printing, intaglio printing, and stencil printing can be used. Then, the answer branch can be discriminated from the presence or absence of the label.

Further, in the question / answer sheet according to claim 1, it is preferable that the question / answer sheet can be processed by a machine in order to efficiently collect the answer results. Question of claim 4
The answer sheet is designed to solve such problems.

That is, the question / answer sheet according to claim 4 is based on the question / answer sheet according to claim 1, and is characterized in that the label has a machine-readable mark.

That is, when the machine-readable mark is formed on the label, the label attached to the base material can be identified by a sensor or the like for identifying the difference in reflectance, and the totaling is facilitated. . This is particularly effective in the case of a reply method in which a plurality of labels of reply branches that do not apply are peeled off.

[0024]

According to the question / answer sheet according to claim 1, the question can be answered by sticking a label on the corresponding answer branch or by sticking a label on the answer branch that does not correspond. .

According to the question / answer sheet according to claim 2,
The label can be reliably attached to a predetermined position on the base material.

According to the question / answer sheet according to claim 3,
Answers can be aggregated by checking the presence or absence of labels.

According to the question / answer sheet according to claim 4,
Answers can be aggregated by reading the machine-readable marks formed on the label.

Embodiments will be described in detail below based on embodiments.

Example 1 A silicone release agent was applied to a part of the base material 2 made of coated paper. Then, an acrylic adhesive was applied to the back surface of the label base material made of high-quality paper, and after cutting into a label shape, one piece was attached in the vicinity of the answer branch of the base material 2.

Next, a pattern of question items and answer branches was printed and formed on the base material 2 by a screen printing method using an ink having the following composition which is foamed by heating.

[Ink Composition Foaming by Heating] Vinyl acetate emulsion resin 100 parts by weight Azodicarbonamide (chemical blowing agent) 30 parts by weight Glycerin (water-soluble additive) 15 parts by weight Precipitable calcium carbonate (surface improver) 10 Parts by weight Imidazole 15 parts by weight Silicone oil 3 parts by weight

The pattern of question items and answer branches on the base material 2 is heated by a heat roll (temperature 120 ° C.),
A raised question 3 and an answer branch 5 were formed to obtain a question / answer sheet 1 (see FIG. 1).

The question items and answer branches of the question / answer sheet 1 are
I could recognize it by touch. Further, since the label itself has a thickness, it was possible to identify the corresponding label 4 by touch. Then, after peeling the corresponding label from the substrate, the corresponding answer branch could be hidden (see FIG. 2).

(Example 2) A base material 2 made of coated paper,
The question items and answer branches, which are visible character information, were printed using black offset ink.

Next, the same ink as that used in Example 1, which was foamed by heating, was used to form a pattern of question items, answer branches, and a sticking standard on the substrate 2 by screen printing.

The pattern of questions and the like on the base material 2 was heated by a hot roll (temperature 120 ° C.) to form a raised question item 3, answer branch 5 and sticking reference pattern 7.

On the other hand, on a part of the base material 8 made of coated paper,
A silicone release agent was applied. Then, an acrylic adhesive was applied to the back surface of the label base material made of high-quality paper, and after cutting into a label shape, a plurality of pieces were attached to the part of the base material 8 to which the silicone release agent was applied. Then, a machine-readable mark 6 was formed on the label 4 of the base material by printing with a black offset ink to obtain a question / answer sheet 1 (see FIG. 3).

The question items and answer branches of the question / answer sheet 1 are
I could recognize it by touch. Next, after peeling the label 4 from the base material, it was possible to attach the label 4 to the corresponding answer branch using the attachment reference pattern as a clue (see FIG. 4).

[0039]

According to the question / answer sheet according to claim 1, the question matters and answer branches are formed on the base material by the raised pattern, and the label is releasably attached near the answer branch of the base material. Since it has been worn, the question can be answered by peeling off one label of the corresponding answer branch or peeling a plurality of labels of the answer branches that do not correspond.

Therefore, a visually impaired person can answer the questions alone, without the need to use a special machine.

According to the question / answer sheet according to claim 2,
Since the sticking reference pattern is formed in the predetermined position of the base material by the raised pattern, the label can be surely stuck to the predetermined position of the base material.

According to the question / answer sheet according to claim 3,
Since the question items and the answer branches are also formed as visually recognizable character information, the answers can be aggregated by checking the presence or absence of the label even if the raised pattern (readable pattern) cannot be read.

According to the question / answer sheet of claim 4,
Since the label has a machine-readable mark, a plurality of labels on which the answer branches are not applicable are peeled off, and the mark is read by the machine formed on the remaining label to give an answer. Can be aggregated.
