Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of an album, and relates to an album that can accommodate not only two-dimensional photographs but also one or more medals that reproduce flat or foot prints in three dimensions. .

Conventional albums are structured so that only two-dimensional photos are pasted on them, so for example, a newborn baby's flat and foot prints made to commemorate the birth of a newborn, or an infant's flat photos made to commemorate entering kindergarten. The three-dimensional reproduction of the mold and foot print is stored in an album together with the photo, and these are stored together, and when the photo is viewed, the three-dimensional reproduction of the flat type, I was unable to fulfill my desire to see the footprint.

The present invention aims to provide an album that can fulfill this desire.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

1 is the cover, which is made to be as sturdy as the cover of a general album.

On the back side 1a of the cover 1, one or more medals 4, 4 each having a three-dimensional representation of a flat shape or a foot shape are pasted using a strong adhesive or the like.

The concept of the cover 1 includes both a front cover and a back cover, and the concept of the medal 4 includes those made of casting, resin molding, and ceramic.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a frame member, which has a punched-out medal storage space 3 at a portion corresponding to the position where the medal 4 is attached, and whose wall thickness is slightly larger than the thickness of the medal 4.

The space 3 may have various shapes such as rectangular, circular, or oval, but the point is that when the medals 4, 4 are attached to the back surface 1a of the cover, as shown in FIG. It is sufficient if the shape has a space that is not too close to the inner circumferential wall of the frame member 2.

This frame member 2 is preferably formed to have the same outer periphery as the cover 1 or the general page sheet 9, and is attached to the back surface 1a of the cover to be disposed between the cover 1 and the general page sheet 9. It is.

- By doing so, when the album is closed, it has an appearance that is almost the same as a conventional album, and when the album is opened, the frame member 2 has an effect similar to that of a picture frame, and the medal 4.4 attached to the back surface 1a of the cover. It has the effect of greatly enhancing its value as a souvenir as well as its commercial value.

The frame member 2 can be formed by punching a plastic foam plate into a predetermined shape, or can be formed into a predetermined shape all at once by foaming the plastic foam in a predetermined mold.

Of course, the frame member 2 can be formed using various materials other than plastic foam, but it is desirable that it be as lightweight as possible.

Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the medal storage space 3 is formed in the upper part of the frame member 2, and a space 6 for inserting equal paper is formed in the lower part, and the opening of the space 6 for inserting equal paper is formed in the lower part. A portion is covered with a covering part 7 to form a straw paper insertion part 5 for memo paper, commemorative colored paper, letters, etc.

In addition, 8 is a thin and strong surface paper attached to the surface of the frame member 2, and is formed by punching out the parts corresponding to the paper insertion space 6, excluding the medal storage space 3 and the cover part 7. A part of the cover part 7 functions as the cover part 7.

Further, 9, 9... are general page sheets, on which photos 10, 10... can be pasted.

Since the present invention is structured as described above, one album can contain not only two-dimensional photographs, but also flat or foot prints made in commemoration of birth, admission to kindergarten, entrance to school, Shichi-Go-San celebrations, etc. It is possible to accommodate three-dimensionally reproduced medals in an extremely attractive manner.

Therefore, this album has significantly higher value as a souvenir and commercial value than ordinary albums.

Further, in this album, words of congratulations from parents who congratulated the birth, birth records, etc. can be recorded, and furthermore, it is easy to form a straw paper insertion part in the frame member as shown in the embodiment. As a result, various commemorative notes can be stored in one album without being lost.

Furthermore, the present invention allows the medals to be stored in a manner similar to that of a picture frame, and is equipped with a large number of general-page sheets for pasting photos, so that a large number of photos can be pasted in the same manner as in conventional albums. When the album is closed, it looks almost the same as a regular album, and has the advantage of being convenient for use and storage.

Furthermore, the album of the present invention can be used as an indoor device such as a commemorative plaque or frame when used in a half-open position with the medal-attached surface facing the front.
