Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tool capable of cutting a business card or a postcard manufactured by a personal computer and printed out on a large sheet of paper into a predetermined size.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Most of the business cards we use today are printed, but recently business cards are often created using personal computers. Business cards made by printing are cut into business card sizes in a state where hundreds of papers are stacked after printing is performed in multiple places using large paper, but it is large so that it does not shift laterally when cutting. It is performed in a state pressed by force. Therefore, when producing many business cards at once, such a method has no problem, but printing and producing a small number of business cards takes too much time and is a costly business card. I will.

[0003] Of course, when a small number of business cards are manufactured, it is possible to print them one by one using business card-sized paper, but the business card becomes more expensive in terms of cost. Not realistic. This is the same as when making business cards using a personal computer, but most of the models cannot print out business card-sized paper. Therefore, it is necessary to stack and cut out the printouts at a plurality of places on a large sheet of paper, and this cutting operation is the same as in the case of printing. In recent years, business cards that have their face photo printed in one corner may be used by business people, etc., which are expensive in terms of cost, but business cards with a face photo are effective for getting a face remembered at work It is higher than ordinary business cards, but has a certain effect.

[0004] In the conventional printing method, it is extremely troublesome to produce a business card with a face photograph, and the business card becomes expensive. However, recently, it can be relatively easily produced using a personal computer. Modern personal computers often include business card creation software, but are limited to students and some members of society, and are not used to create business cards for general companies. Although it is possible to design and produce tens to hundreds of your own business cards, you cannot cut them to the size of a business card. Even if it is cut with a small push-cut, it will not be possible to cut it accurately because it will shift laterally. In other words, it is not easy to print on A4 size paper, cut about 8 to 10 sheets in an overlapping manner, and cut accurately.

[0005]

As described above, it is easy to design and produce a business card using a personal computer, but there is a problem that the business card cannot be cut to the size of a business card. The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem, and provides a tool that can be cut easily and accurately. Similarly, the present invention is applicable not only to business cards but also to postcards, and provides a tool that can accurately cut postcards designed and manufactured by oneself.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a tool for cutting a business card or a postcard manufactured by a personal computer into a predetermined size. So, this tool has a saucer and an underlay,
It consists of an overlay and a cutter. The tray has a rectangular shape, and a vertically upright edge is formed outside the tray. A thin rubber plate or the like is used for the underlay. The cushion is a kind of cushioning material that does not damage the cutter even when the tip of the cutter hits, and is a rectangular plate large enough to fit in the tray.

[0007] Similarly, the overlay is fitted to the tray without rattling, and a slit groove is formed at a predetermined position.
The slit groove has a groove width capable of moving the cutter, and there are an overlay provided with a vertical slit groove and an overlay provided with a horizontal slit groove. Of course, the vertical and horizontal slit grooves can be formed on one overlay. By the way, paper on which a business card or a postcard is printed out is stacked on the tray fitted with the underlay, and the overlay is placed on this paper. Therefore, if the cutter is moved along the slit groove of the overlay, a business card or a postcard of a predetermined size is completed. Here, the business card or postcard to be cut by the tool of the present invention is not necessarily limited to one manufactured by a personal computer. The size of the tray is determined by the size of the sheet or the size of the overlay, and is not particularly limited. Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The saucer 1 is a rectangular box, and the outside of the bottom plate 4 is provided with vertically rising edges 5, 5,..., And the distance between the inner surfaces of the edges 5, 5,. I have. That is, the sheet is the same size as the A4 size sheet, and is accommodated without rattling. Actually, it cannot be accommodated unless it is slightly larger than the above dimensions.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the underlay 2 is A4
It is a rubber plate having the size of a plate, and the underlay 2 is also accommodated in the tray 1. (C) is an overlay 3 having an A4 size and is accommodated in the tray 1 without rattling. The material is not particularly limited, but a stainless steel plate having high corrosion resistance is suitable. By the way, the underlay 2 is put in the tray 1, and several sheets of A4 size paper on which the business card is printed at a plurality of places or printed out by a personal computer are stacked and accommodated. Generally, about ten sheets are accommodated. Then, the overlay 3 is placed on the paper, and the cutter is moved along a slit groove provided in the overlay 3 to form a business card of a predetermined size.

FIGS. 2A and 2B show the overlays 3a and 3b. (A) The overlay 3a is provided with three longitudinal slit grooves 6a, 6b, 7 and the central slit groove 7 is formed at the center of the overlay 3a of A4 size. The slit grooves 6a and 6b on both outer sides are located at a distance of 91 mm from the central slit groove 7.

The slit grooves 6a and 6b have a width when the business cards are arranged in a horizontally long state. On the other hand, (b) the overlay 3b is provided with six horizontal slit grooves 8a to 8f. The horizontal slit grooves 8a and 8f are 1
1 mm, and other horizontal slit grooves 8 b,
8c are formed at equal intervals of 55 mm.

The dimensions of the slit grooves 8a, 8b,... Are the lengths of the business cards in the vertical direction when the business cards are made horizontally long. For business cards, five cards are arranged. If you move the cutter, you can make 10 business cards with one A4 size sheet.

By the way, a business card can be freely constituted by a personal computer, and if necessary, a photograph of one's own face can be easily inserted into the business card. And 10 for business cards
The number of sheets can be printed out on A4 size paper, and when about 10 sheets are stacked, they can be cut using the cutting tool. In the above embodiment, two overlays 3a, 3b
