Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention According to the present invention, for example, a photograph or the like may be enclosed, or a communication message or the like may be written and then folded in half and sealed, and the recipient may open the opening window to see the photograph or the like. , Foldable postcards that enable users to read messages, etc.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When mailing a photo or the like, an envelope is usually used or a photo postcard obtained by printing a photo on a postcard is used.

Further, it is common to write a relatively simple message, such as a sealed letter, on a government-made postcard or a privately-made postcard and mail it.

In addition to the above, recently, information, such as notification of dividends paid to an insured by an insurance company, etc., which the third party does not want to know, is printed on a private postcard, and then hidden by a release paper. However, some allow the recipient to open the release paper and read the information.

[0005]

When a photograph or the like is printed on the above-mentioned envelope or postcard, and there are many destinations,
Not only is there a problem that the postage cost and the cost required for copying are high, but a postcard with a photograph printed may have the photograph smeared during the mailing.

[0006] Also, when a communication message is written on a normal postcard and sent by mail, the communication message is exposed on the surface, so it is not possible to write a private communication message which is not desired to be read by others. In such a case, it is necessary to purposely make a sealed letter even if the amount of communication is small.

The postcard having the latter release paper has a high manufacturing cost per postcard.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and card-like things such as photographs can be enclosed and mailed without using expensive envelopes, and private communication messages can be received. It is intended to provide a foldable postcard that is readable only by humans.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention comprises two laminated sheets of rectangular shape having the same shape around a folding curve that divides the sheet into two equal parts. Adhesive with release paper is attached to the peripheral edge of the bonding paper of the other bonding paper with the other bonding paper, and perforations are formed on the other bonding paper leaving a part of the periphery. By so doing, a detachable opening window portion is provided.

In this case, it is preferable to form a finger hanging window of a required size on the perforation line.

Further, it is preferable to attach another adhesive agent with a release paper to the joint surface of one of the adhesive paper sheets.

[0012] It is preferable that the adhesive for joining and another adhesive for adhering a photograph or the like be covered with one sheet of release paper.

Further, the opening window portion is formed into a substantially rectangular shape which can be opened, leaving one piece on the folding curve side, and the opening window portion is opened on the back surface after both the bonding papers are joined and the mountain folding is performed. By doing so, the surface of the opening window portion is continuous with the writing surface of a message or the like that is directed obliquely downward, the horizontal support surface that can vertically support them below both the bonding sheets, and both ends of the horizontal support surface. Moreover, it is preferable to form a fold line that divides into a pair of vertical support surfaces that can be inserted into a pair of cut lines formed in the bent portions of both the laminated papers.

[0014]

[Operation] Write a communication message or the like on the bonding surface side of one of the pasting papers, or put card-like things such as photographs on top of each other, peel off the release paper of the adhesive agent on the peripheral part, and By folding the laminated paper along the folding curve and joining it to one adhesive paper, a postcard in which communication texts, photographs and the like are hidden is formed.

The recipient of the postcard can read or view the message or photograph by separating the opening window portion along the perforations and opening it.

[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a back surface side (bonding surface side) of the first embodiment of the present invention. A sheet 1 has a rectangular shape having the same shape on the left and right with a folding line L dividing the sheet into two equal parts. Pasting paper 1
a, 1b, and the lengths of the long side H and the short side S are 14 to 15 cm and 9 to 1, respectively, which are standard dimensions of private postcards.
Within 0.7 cm or weighs within 6 g.

A fold line 2 is formed on the fold line L to serve as a mark for valley folding. In the vicinity of the fold line 2, the character "Taniori" indicating the folding direction is displayed.

A double-sided adhesive tape 3 is adhered to the peripheral portion of the laminated paper 1a on the left half of the folding line L. Further, a ruled line 4 for writing a communication text or the like is printed on the central surface of the bonding paper 1a.

On the central surface of the right half of the laminated paper 1b corresponding to the ruled line, a rectangular shape is formed, and the opening windows 5 are formed by recessing the four corners inward in an arc shape. The unsealing window portion 5 can be unsealed by separating the unsealing window portion 5 along the perforations 6 formed on the periphery except one side on the folding curve L side. 6a is a finger hook window for facilitating opening.

On the surface of the paper 1 on the side of the laminating paper 1a,
As shown in FIG. 2, a stamp sticking frame 7, a postal code entry frame 8 and characters 9 of "postcard" are printed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the sheet 1 is valley-folded around a folding line 2 formed on the folding curve L to form a valley-fold 2
Fold them together and bond the two laminated papers 1a and 1b together. In this state, the size is the size of a normal postcard.

Next, if necessary, a message or the like is also written on the surface of the bonding paper 1b on the side where the opening window portion 5 is formed, and then the sender is printed on the surface of the other bonding paper 1a. Then, write the recipient's address, name, and zip code, and put a stamp with a face value corresponding to a normal postcard on the stamp sticking frame 7 and post it.

As shown in FIG. 4, the recipient of the postcard can open not only the communication texts on the front surface of the bonding paper 1b, but also the communication texts on the ruled lines 4 on the back surface of the bonding paper 1a. 5 for perforation 6
You can read it with a sense of anticipation by cutting along the line and opening it.

As described above, in the first embodiment,
Since communication messages and the like that are not desired to be read by others are hidden, it is possible to write them on a postcard and mail it, without depending on the expensive envelope. Further, the recipient has the pleasure of opening the opening window section 5 with a sense of expectation as to what is written, and can be used as, for example, a Christmas card or a birthday card.

Furthermore, since the work of folding the paper 1 in two and spreading it is extremely simple, it does not take much time even if there are many destinations.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In this embodiment, double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes 10 and 10 of a required length facing the longitudinal direction are attached to the back surface of the left-side pasting paper 1a of the sheet 1 having the same shape as described above, with a required distance therebetween. I'm wearing it. In addition, a writing surface 11 for writing a message or the like is formed on the right side of the bonding sheet 1b on the side of the folding line 2 of the opening window portion 5, and the innermost (right side) ruled line 11a thereof is formed.
A fold line 12 for mountain fold facing the long side direction is formed at a position close to.

The size of the writing surface 11 is an area obtained by roughly dividing the opening window portion 5 into three equal parts along the short side direction.

In the opening window portion 5 on the right side of the folding line 12,
From each end of the fold line 12, a pair of fold lines 13 and 13 for mountain folds are formed to face the end of the perforation 6 on the right long side. The opening window portion 5 surrounded by the folding line 12 and both folding lines 13 and 13 serves as a trapezoidal horizontal support surface 5a when a postcard is used as a photo stand, and is further outward than each folding line 13 as described later. The portions that form a substantially right triangle are the vertical support surfaces 5b and 5b.

Next, an example of use of the second embodiment will be described.

As shown in FIG. 5, after peeling off the release paper 10a of the double-sided adhesive tape 10 of the bonding paper 1a, a photograph P or the like is attached and a message or the like is written on the writing surface 11. Then, the release paper 3a of the double-sided adhesive tape 3 at the peripheral portion of the bonding paper 1a is peeled off as in the first embodiment described above, and the other bonding paper 1a is folded around the folding line 2 and joined.

Next, the front surface of the bonding paper 1b (reverse surface of FIG. 5)
After writing a message or the like on, the address, name and zip code of the sender and the recipient are written on the surface of the pasting paper 1a side, and a stamp corresponding to a postcard is pasted and mailed.

The recipient of the postcard cuts the opening window portion 5 along the perforations 6 to open the opening, and attaches the photograph P.
You can see etc. and read the message text. After that, as shown in FIG.
Insert the both vertical support surfaces 5b into the score line 14 so that the horizontal support surface 5a becomes horizontal,
The entire postcard can be used as is as a photo stand. At this time, since the writing surface 11 is held in a downwardly inclined shape, the message text written in it can be easily read.

Also in this second embodiment, the above-mentioned first
Similar to the embodiment, the photograph or the like can be mailed without using the expensive envelope, and the opening window 5 can be opened with a sense of expectation, and a surprise can be given when it is opened.

Moreover, unlike a photo postcard, the photo is not stained or damaged.

If the opening window portion 5 is cut out, the postcard and the photograph can be arranged at the same time, and it can be displayed on the wall instead of the frame.

By using the postcard of the second embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned photograph, various cards such as a telephone card and a member's card can be easily fixed and mailed.

If such photographs and cards are simply sent, the double-sided adhesive tape 10 may be omitted and the postcard as in the first embodiment may be enclosed and mailed.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and even if there are changes and additions within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto. Included in the invention.
