Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a photo frame suitable for small-lot production and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a photo frame most suitable for graduation souvenirs.

[0002]

[Prior Art] At junior high schools and high schools, it is often the case to present a commemorative item with the date of graduation, class name, teacher's teacher's name, student's message, or caricature of the teacher or student in commemoration of graduation. Done.

[0003]

However, conventional graduation souvenirs are often household items such as coffee cups, and are rarely used even when brought home, left alone in a corner of the room, and eventually broken or lost. The reality is what we are doing.

As a result of various studies to develop a more useful graduation memorabilia, the present inventor has recently come to pay attention to a photo frame displayed on a wall of a room or on a desk with interest. That is, this type of photo frame holds a photo between the frame body and the transparent plate and can be erected on a base or hung on a wall. Therefore, if a graduation letter or a design is put on the back of the frame body, it can be used as a photo frame, and if it is turned over, it can be displayed as a graduation anniversary.

However, graduation souvenirs often have different letters and designs for each class, which necessitates small-lot production. However, printing one by one on the back of the photo frame is costly. You have to deal with this out of proportion.

In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a photo frame which is highly useful and which is also optimal as a graduation memorabilia or the like.

[0007]

Therefore, in a photographic frame suitable for small-lot production according to the present invention, the frame main body is made of wood board, and the back surface of the frame main body has characters or patterns on the surface thereof by means of an electrostatic photography method. It is characterized in that a sheet of paper that has been copied or printed is adhered, a transparent resin coating layer is formed on the surface thereof, and the sheet and the frame main body are formed into the same shape by cutting with a saw tooth.

Further, according to the present invention, almost the entire surface of the frame body is detachably covered with a transparent plate made of synthetic resin so that a photograph can be held between the frame body and the transparent plate, while the rear surface of the frame body is held. When manufacturing a photo frame having characters or designs on the paper, using the process of allocating the characters or designs for each standard paper size of the raw material to create a manuscript or block, and using the manuscript or block A step of copying or printing on a raw material paper by an electrostatographic printing method, a step of sticking the above-mentioned copied or printed raw material paper on one side of the raw material wooden board, and coating of a transparent synthetic resin on the surface of the raw material paper It is possible to provide a method of manufacturing a photo frame, which comprises a step of performing the step of cutting the raw wood board and a step of cutting the raw wood plate with saw teeth for each standard size of the raw paper.

The photo frame according to the present invention can be used as a commemorative item for graduation, a commemorative item for establishment of a company or school, a company PR article, a promotional item, and the like. Copying by the electrostatographic printing method is the easiest and most cost effective, but if a good looking photo frame is good even if it causes some cost increase, use printing, for example, screen printing. .

[0010]

According to the present invention, the characters or the design are copied or printed on the paper and are affixed to the frame body. Therefore, the original or the master copy in which the characters or the design are assigned to the material paper. Can be adopted, a manufacturing method of copying or printing on paper using this and pasting it on one material plate, cutting the material plate to create multiple photo frames,
Even if the number of production lots of photo frames is small, such as graduation souvenirs, it can be manufactured inexpensively.

Since the frame main body is made of wood, it is possible to adopt a manufacturing method in which the copied or printed paper is attached to the material wood and cut with saw teeth. However, if the paper is simply stuck and cut with saw teeth, the paper fibers are disturbed by the saw teeth and the outer edge of the paper becomes jagged. Since it is cut with saw teeth in a state of being sandwiched between and, the fibrous material of the paper is not disturbed, the outer edge of the paper can be cut straight, and the appearance is good.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show a photo frame according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the frame body 10 is formed in a rectangular shape using a beautiful wood grain board (may be a decorative plywood), and a transparent plate 11 made of synthetic resin is laid on the surface of the frame body 10.

The frame body 10 and the transparent plate 1
Insertion holes 100 and 110 are formed at the center of the upper end and the center of the lower end of the device 1. A male male clip 120 can be inserted into either one of the upper and lower insertion holes 100 and 110, and can be detached from a female female clip 121 on the opposite side. The transparent plate 11 is attached to the frame body 10 by inserting it into the frame body 10, and the photograph 13 can be sandwiched between them.

Further, the frame body 10 and the transparent plate 1

0 and 121 are connected to stand on the wooden base 14, and lower insertion holes 100 and 110 are connected to clips 120 and 121 so that the upper insertion holes 100 and 110 can be used to hang on a hook such as a wall. ing.

Further, a sheet of paper 15 is attached to the back surface of the frame body 10 with an adhesive or the like, and letters or designs for commemorating graduation are copied on the surface of the sheet of paper 15 in advance by an electrostatographic printing method. A synthetic resin transparent coating layer 16 is formed on the surface.

Next, the manufacturing method will be described with reference to FIG. In the case of manufacturing the photo frame of this example, a manuscript 22 is created in which letters and designs for commemorating graduation are assigned to each standard paper 21 size of the copy paper 20 (see step S1).
Graduation date, class name, home teacher's teacher's name, student's message or surname, or home teacher's or student's caricature, etc. are selected as letters and designs for graduation, but of course, characters common to all graduated students It may be used as a design.

The original 22 is used to make a copy on the copy paper 20 by the electrostatographic printing method (see step S2),
The copied paper 20 is attached to the wooden board 23 with an adhesive (see step S3). At this time, a wood board 23 having the same size as the copy paper 20 may be used, and the copy paper 20 and the wood board 23 may be attached with their outer edges aligned.
A larger wooden board may be used, and the entire copy sheet 20 may be attached so that it fits inside the wooden board.

When the copy paper 20 is attached, a transparent synthetic resin, for example, a transparent urethane resin is applied to the surface of the copy paper 20 to form a coating layer (see step S4). When the resin is solidified, the copy paper 20 and Although the wood board 23 is cut into standard paper 21 dimensions using saw blades (see step S5), since a hard resin coating layer is formed on the surface, the fiber quality of the paper is disturbed even if the saw blades cut. Instead, it cuts straight and looks great.
Finally, by piercing the insertion hole, the frame body 10 having letters and a design for graduation on the back surface can be manufactured (see step S6).

When cutting, the standard paper 21 may be framed in advance on the copy paper 20, or the copy paper 20 may be positioned with a ruler or the like so that the saw teeth are positioned above the boundary of the standard paper 21. May be. Further, the copy sheet 20 is preferably provided with a cutting margin by saw teeth between the frames of the standard sheet 21.

As shown in FIG. 3, the photo frame of this example has a favorite photo 13 between the frame body 10 and the transparent plate 11.
It can be sandwiched, and the upper side thereof can be stopped with clips 120 and 121, which can be inserted into the base 14 as shown in FIG. 2 to stand on a desk or shelf. In addition, the frame body 10
The lower side of the transparent plate 11 may be stopped by the clips 120 and 121, and the upper insertion holes 100 and 110 may be used to hook the transparent plate 11 on a hook such as a wall.

On the other hand, if the photo frame is turned upside down as shown in FIG. 1 to stand on the base 14 or hang it on a wall or the like, it can be displayed as a graduation memorial. In addition,
If you do not like the graduation letter or design, you can hide the letters or design by moving the transparent plate 11 to the back side of the frame body 10 and inserting the photograph 13 between them.
