BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a question / answer sheet that enables a visually impaired person to answer questions individually.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a visually impaired person answers questions such as various surveys and entrance examinations, he or she is verbally explained and then verbally replied to the investigator, or in Braille After reading the question, verbal answers are being given to the investigators.

However, if there is no researcher or the like, it is not possible to answer the question alone, and it is not preferable that the reply is known to the researcher or the like because of privacy issues.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a question / answer sheet that enables a visually impaired person to independently answer questions. .

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the question / answer sheet according to claim 1, a question matter and an answer branch are formed on a base material by a raised pattern, and a label is releasably attached near the answer branch. It is characterized by that.

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 to be attached in the vicinity of the answer branch of the base material is a relatively thick label base material having an adhesive layer which can be peeled off after being attached to the base material. . In addition,
It is preferable that the adhesive layer after peeling does not adhere to other articles, but in the question / answer sheet according to claims 5 and 6 described later, it is necessary to stick it in the answer column, so that it adheres to the answer column. Is preferred. Further, the vicinity means a distance range of about 5 to 30 mm, although it is not particularly limited.

Then, one label means one answer branch. That is, when there are a plurality of answer branches for the question, the labels are releasably attached by the number of the answer branches. Then, the question can be answered by peeling off one label in the vicinity where the answer branch is printed or peeling a plurality of labels on which the answer branch that is not applicable is peeled.

If there are many answer branches in such a question / answer sheet, it may be difficult to understand which label means which answer branch. The question / answer sheet according to claim 2 is provided to solve such a problem.

That is, in the question / answer sheet according to the second aspect, a question item is formed on the base material by a raised pattern, and a label having an answer branch formed by the raised pattern is peelably attached near the question item. It is characterized by having done.

The substrate and the raised pattern according to the present invention are
The same thing as claim 1 can be used. But,
Questions are formed on the substrate by a raised pattern.

Next, a label in which an answer branch to a question is formed by a raised pattern means that the label has a pattern in which the answer branch to the question is legible by a tactile sensation on the surface of the label substrate by several millimeters. An adhesive layer that can be peeled off after being adhered to a base material is formed.

The method of using the question / answer sheet is the same as that of the invention described in claim 1, but since the answer branch is formed on the label, there are few errors when peeling.

Furthermore, the question according to claim 1 or claim 2
It is preferable that the answer sheet can be processed by a machine in order to easily collect the answer results. Claim 3
The question / answer form provided is intended to solve such problems.

That is, the question / answer sheet according to claim 3 is based on the question / answer sheet according to claims 1 and 2, and has a machine-readable mark exposed on the base material by peeling the label. It is characterized by that.

Examples of the machine-readable mark exposed by peeling the label include a bar coat.
When the machine-readable mark is formed on the base material, the mark can be identified by a sensor or the like for identifying the difference in reflectance, and the totalization becomes easy. This is particularly effective in the case of the answer method in which one label of the corresponding answer branch is peeled off.

Further, in order to solve the same problem as in claim 3, the following means can be taken.

That is, the question / answer sheet according to claim 4 is based on the question / answer sheet according to claims 1 and 2, and is characterized in that the label has a machine-readable mark. .

In other words, if a machine-readable mark is formed on the answer branch label, the label attached to the base material can be identified by a sensor or the like for identifying the difference in reflectance, and counting can be easily performed. Becomes 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. In terms of machine reading accuracy, it is preferable that the machine-readable mark and the answer branch (protrusion pattern) do not overlap.

On the other hand, in such a question / answer, when the number of questions is very large, the following question / answer sheet can be applied in order to easily collect the answers.

That is, the question / answer sheet according to claim 5 is based on the question / answer sheet according to claims 1 and 2, and has an answer column for sticking the label to the base material. To do.

The answer column according to the present invention is a portion to which an answer branch label can be attached. This answer section can be provided on a part of the base material when the question / answer sheet is a single-cut sheet, and on a specific page when the question / answer sheet is a booklet.

Since the answer branches are concentrated in the answer column, it is easy to add up.

When the answer branch label is attached to the answer column, the attaching standard is required. That is, the question / answer sheet according to claim 6 is the question / answer sheet according to claims 1, 2, and 4.
It is characterized in that a sticking reference pattern is formed by a raised pattern in the answer section on the premise of an answer sheet.

Here, the sticking reference pattern is preferably composed of a pattern in the shape of a quadrangle, brackets, etc. 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 field.
