Description

Method of manufacturing Braille books {METHOD OF MANUFACTURE HARD COVER BRAILLE BOOK}

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a braille book having a cover.

Braille has a total of 64 forms depending on which position among the six positions of the convexly protruding points or protrusions (hereinafter referred to as 'protrusion shapes') is formed, and each form has consonants, vowels, alphabets, It is the type of character to which numbers, etc. are substituted.

Braille enables blind people who have lost their sight, or people with low vision whose eyesight has deteriorated to the point where they cannot distinguish characters, using their hand senses to identify characters.

As in the same way that Braille recognizes the contents of a book through text, the blind and low vision also recognize the contents by identifying it.

Conventionally, braille is formed by punching or pressing a hole in paper or printed matter in any one direction to form a protrusion shape. , announcement date: 2002.09.16., hereinafter referred to as 'prior art').

However, when a braille book is produced through the prior art, the pressure applied to the braille increases according to the thickness of the book, and a part of the protrusion shape disappears or is deformed, and the meaning may not be conveyed properly. In order to minimize the amount of binding, limited binding methods such as binding through a spring had to be used.

And, for general books, hard covers (covers) can be applied to prevent deformation of books due to pressurization, but for Braille books produced through the prior art, it is difficult to attach even heavy hard covers like the above-mentioned reasons. Therefore, there is a problem in that the Braille book is inevitably exposed to the pressure applied from the outside as it is, and the Braille in the area to which the pressure is applied is easily deformed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a Braille book manufacturing technology that minimizes the occurrence of deformation of Braille while improving the discrimination power of Braille in order to solve the above problems.

A method for manufacturing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a dividing step of dividing one surface of the paper into a first print area and a second print area that are symmetrical to each other based on a virtual center line; Arrangement in which a plurality of character string regions in which character strings are printed and a plurality of braille regions in which braille corresponding to character strings to be printed in the character string regions are printed are arranged in a row direction on each print region in the first and second print regions step; a printing step of printing characters and braille on the print region of the paper according to the character string region and the braille region arranged in the arrangement step to produce a plurality of print papers having a printing surface on which characters and braille are printed; Classifying the plurality of printing papers produced in the printing step as a pair unit, and bonding a pair of printing papers so that the other surfaces of the classified printing papers are in contact with each other to produce a plurality of adhesive papers having printing surfaces on both sides bonding step; and a bookmaking step of folding a plurality of adhesive papers on the basis of the center line, adhering and fixing the outer folded sides of the plurality of adhesive papers, and attaching a cover to the plurality of fixed adhesive papers; The first print area is arranged so that the braille area and the string area intersect each other along the row direction, starting with the braille string area, and on the second print area, starting with the string area along the row direction. It is characterized in that the step of arranging the character string area and the braille string area to appear to intersect.

Here, the printing step may include an output step of printing and outputting characters in the character string area arranged in the arrangement step; an application step of applying a liquid photocurable resin in the form of braille to the braille heat region arranged in the disposing step; and a curing step of curing by irradiating light to the liquid photocurable resin applied in the application step.

And, a spraying step of spraying the rosin powder on the printing area of the paper on which the liquid photocurable resin is applied; a recovery step of applying vibration or wind to the paper to recover the rosin powder sprayed in an area other than the area where the liquid photocurable resin is applied; and a melting step of melting the rosin powder by applying heat to the rosin powder sprayed on the liquid phase of the photocurable resin.

In this case, the melting step is characterized in that the melted rosin powder is mixed with the liquid phase of the photocurable resin to reduce the fluidity of the photocurable resin.

In addition, the arranging step may include a cutting step of cutting the length of the character string to be printed in the character string region corresponding to the braille region according to the maximum number of printable braille in the single braille region.

In addition, the cutting step sets the length of the braille string to be printed in each braille region so that the braille string to be printed in the braille region ends with a non-terminating ending or a terminating ending, and cutting the length of the string according to the length of the braille string. , characterized in that it is a step of arranging the corresponding braille string in the character string area located above or below the braille string area to be printed.

The method for manufacturing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises setting two printing areas on a single sheet of paper, displacing the Braille printing areas in each area, and attaching two sheets of Braille printed paper in the rear direction. By manufacturing a Braille book by this method, the Braille formed on one page is positioned to be shifted from the previous or subsequent pages, so that even if the height of the Braille is formed high, it is possible to prevent the thickness of the Braille book from increasing dramatically. It works.

In addition, in the method for manufacturing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Braille is formed through curing of the liquid photocurable resin rather than the conventional perforation method, and the fluidity of the liquid photocurable resin is reduced through rosin powder. By increasing the height of the formation of Braille by hardening it in , there is an effect that the deformation of the Braille due to the pressure applied to the Braille book is small, and the discrimination power of the Braille can be increased.

1 shows a method for manufacturing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the method of manufacturing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a dividing step (S100), an arrangement step (S200), a printing step (S300), an adhesion step (S400) and a bookmaking step (S500). ) may be included.

Before describing each step of the method for producing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for producing a Braille book in which characters and Braille are printed simultaneously is listed step by step. , the name of the printing paper and adhesive paper used in the description of the present invention does not have any meaning, but is arbitrarily used to distinguish the change of paper before and after each step (process). As the meaning of the printed paper, the adhesive paper should be understood as the meaning of a form in which a pair of printing papers are bonded to each other in the rear direction of the printing surface.

2 to 3 schematically show positions where character strings and braille strings are arranged in the paper in the method for manufacturing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2 , in the dividing step ( S100 ), the first printing area S1 and the second printing area forming one side of the paper P on which characters and Braille are to be printed are symmetrical with respect to the virtual center line C . It is a step of dividing into (S2). The division step (S100) is a step of dividing the screen so that the contents of two pages can be printed on the printing side of the paper P, and at the same time, the area where the characters are to be printed and the area where the Braille is to be printed in the arrangement step (S200) to be described later. This is a step of setting a region in which the character string region (T) and the braille region (B) are arranged. At this time, when the paper P is folded in the character and braille printing direction along the center line C, the first printing area S1 and the second printing area S2 come into contact with each other in a state in which they coincide with each other. In other words, in the dividing step S100 , the regions T and B to be printed character strings or braille strings arranged in the first printing area S1 and the second printing area S2 in the arrangement step S200 to be described later are the same. This is the step of setting the mutually symmetrical printing area to exist on a straight line.

In addition, the dividing step ( S100 ) may divide each print area ( S1 , S2 ) into pages of a book. Here, dividing each print area (S1, S2) into pages of a book means that the paper P on which characters and braille are printed and another paper P' in the bonding step (S400), which will be described later. Text and Braille are present on both sides of the adhesive paper, which is in the form of mutually adhesive bonding on the opposite side of the printing surface. Therefore, as in FIG. 3 , when the back side of the paper P on which characters and braille are printed on the front side and the back side of another paper P′ are adhered to each other in the bonding step (S400) to be described later, characters or braille are Pages should be specified in reading order. This is because non-consecutive pages need to be allocated even for print areas S1 and S2 adjacent to each other on a single sheet P. Therefore, in the dividing step (S100), when setting the print areas S1 and S2 of the paper P, the paper P and another paper P' are mutually adhered in the direction opposite to the print surface (rear) direction. Even if it is, the print areas S1, S2, S1 based on the center line C, C' of the paper P, P' so that the positions of the respective print areas S1, S2, S1', S2' can be matched. ', S2') is divided. By designating the pages of the subsequent print areas S1, S2, S1', and S2', characters and Braille to be printed in each print area (S1, S2, S1', S2') are arranged according to the designated page. Designation of text and Braille pages will be described in more detail in an arrangement step (S200), which will be described later.

In the arranging step (S200), in the first and second printing areas S1 and S2, a plurality of character string regions T on which character strings are printed and a plurality of braille characters corresponding to the character strings to be printed on the character string regions T are printed. This is a step of arranging the braille area B on each of the print areas S1 and S2 in the row direction. Here, arranging the character string area (T) and the braille string area (B) means that the character string area T and the braille string area B are arranged so that the character string and the braille string form a column along the row direction in each print area. is to set To explain in more detail with reference to FIG. 2 , the arrangement step S200 starts with the braille region B along the row direction on the first print region S1, then the braille region B and the character string region ( The braille area (B) and the character string area (T) are arranged so that T) intersects, and on the second printing area (S2), starting from the string area (T), the character string area (T) and This is a step of arranging the braille region (B) and the character string region (T) so that the braille region (B) intersects. This arrangement step (S200) prevents the identification of characters from being difficult by Braille in the Braille book completed through the printing step (S300), the bonding step (S400) and the bookmaking step (S500), which will be described later, of course, This is to prevent the shape of the braille from being deformed due to the braille on each page coming into contact with each other.

Figure 4 shows the bonding form in the bonding step of the Braille book manufacturing method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

3 to 4, in the arrangement step (S200), the character string of each print area (S1, S2) so that characters and braille are printed on the paper P in units of two pages (the first print area and the second print area) Characters and Braille to be printed in the area T and the braille area B can be designated for each page. This page designation is, as described above, in the bonding step (S400), the back side of the paper (P, P') printed on only a single side of the paper (P, P') is adhered to each other so that the letters and Braille exist on both sides of the adhesive paper after In the book-making step (S500) of the imaginary center line (C, C') is folded and superimposed on the basis of the book-making, at this time, the pages are designated according to the reading order of the Braille book manufactured through the manufacturing method of the present invention. . Therefore, in the arrangement step (S200), two sheets of paper (P) to be adhered to each other later in the bonding step (S400) are set as one set, and in FIG. You can specify a page in advance like In other words, in the arrangement step (S200), the folding direction after each paper (P, P ') is adhered before the bonding step (S400) and the bookmaking step (S500) to be described later is considered in advance before printing, and characters and braille A page is designated by designating characters and Braille to be printed in each print area (S1, S2, S1', S2') before printing of .

On the other hand, in the arranging step (S200), the length of the character string is cut in a predetermined length unit to correspond to the braille string to be printed in the corresponding braille region (B) according to the maximum number of braille printable in a single braille region (B). , a cutting step (S210) of dividing and disposing the character string cut by a predetermined length unit in each character string area (T). For example, if a maximum of 10 Braille characters can be printed in the braille region B, only 10 characters should be printed in the character string region T as well. Because the Braille book produced by the method of manufacturing a Braille book of the present invention prints the contents that can be confirmed through the characters and the Braille 1:1 on the same location, so that the user who wants to learn Braille can check the characters and in order to ascertain the meaning. At this time, the maximum number of prints for braille printed in the braille area (B) is not always printed, but the content of the braille includes investigations such as 'is', ',', ',', etc. It can be printed by dividing it into non-terminal endings such as '~c' and ending endings such as '~c.' At this time, the characters printed on the character string region T may also be cut according to the braille printed on the braille region B and disposed in each character string region T.

In the printing step (S300), characters and braille are printed on the print areas (S1, S2) of the paper (P) according to the character string area (T) and the braille string area (B) arranged in the arrangement step (S200). It is a step of producing a plurality of printing paper having a printing surface on which characters and Braille are printed, output step (S310), application step (S320), spray step (S330), recovery step (S340), melting step (S350) , a curing step (S360) may be included.

The output step (S310) is a step of printing characters on the character string area (T) arranged in the arrangement step (S200). The reason why the output step (S310) of printing characters is preferentially performed before the step of printing Braille in the printing step (S300) is that the photocurable resin is applied (printed) and cured in the method for producing a Braille book of the present invention. This is because the printing surface is uneven after the braille is formed because the braille is formed through the process of making it.

The application step (S320) is a step of applying the liquid photocurable resin in the form of braille to the braille heat region (B) disposed in the arrangement step (S320). The liquid photocurable resin applied in the application step (S320) has fluidity, so it can be spread along the paper before curing in the curing step (S360), which will be described later. If curing occurs after the liquid photo-curable resin spreads on the paper (P), the height of the braille may be lowered, and in some cases, it is difficult to identify the braille because the liquid phase of the photo-curable resin adjacent to each other merges outside the braille area. can get Therefore, the liquid photocurable resin applied in the application step (S320) reduces the fluidity before the curing step (S360) and a process of maintaining the height of the braille is added.

The spraying step (S330) is performed after the application step (S320), and is a step of spraying the rosin powder on the printing areas (S1, S2) of the paper on which the liquid photocurable resin is applied. Primarily, the rosin powder can reduce the fluidity of the liquid photocurable resin applied to the paper (P), and when heat is applied, it melts with the liquid photocurable resin to increase the adhesion of the photocurable resin, thereby increasing photocurability. While preventing the resin liquid from being separated from the paper, it is possible to maintain the formation height of the braille. At this time, it is preferable to add the rosin powder at a ratio of 1 to 100 g per 1 kg of liquid photo-curable resin. In the case of 1 g, the effect of addition is almost meaningless.

The recovery step (S340) is a step of recovering the rosin powder sprayed on the area other than the area where the liquid photocurable resin is applied by applying vibration or wind to the paper P. Since the rosin powder is in the form of a powder, it sticks to the liquid photocurable resin in the area where the liquid photocurable resin is applied, but the rosin powder sprayed in other areas can easily come off just by applying vibration or wind to the paper (P). can be

The melting step (S350) is a step of melting the rosin powder by applying heat to the rosin powder sprayed on the liquid phase of the photocurable resin. When this melting step (S350) is passed, the rosin powder is melted and melted in the liquid phase of the photocurable resin, resulting in adhesion in the liquid phase of the photocurable resin, and by reducing the fluidity of the liquid phase of the photocurable resin, even after the curing step (S360), Braille The formation height of can be maintained.

The curing step (S360) is a step of curing by irradiating light to the liquid photocurable resin applied in the application step (S320). Here, the photo-curable resin liquid is preferably prepared as a UV-curable resin liquid that causes curing by ultraviolet light, and the curing step (S360) is performed in the braille heat region (B) of the paper (P) through UV illumination (UV LED). It may be a step of irradiating UV light to the applied liquid phase of the photocurable resin.

Figure 5 schematically shows the shape of the side of the adhesive paper produced through the bonding step of the method for producing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The bonding step (S400) is completed until the curing step (S360), and two sheets of printing paper on which characters and braille are printed on the printing areas S1 and S2 are adhered so that the back side is in contact with each other, and a plurality of adhesives having a printing surface on both sides This is the paper making step. The two sheets of printing paper (P, P') to be adhered in the bonding step (S400) are papers (P, P') prepared as a set in the arrangement step (S200), and the back side of each paper (P, P') is It is a step of bonding, and at this time, the printing areas S1, S2, S1', and S2' of each paper P and P' are matched to each other and adhered. To explain with reference to FIG. 5, the adhesive paper adhered through the above-described method is braille along the row direction on the first printing area S1, S1' of each paper P, P' in the arrangement step S200. Starting with the column region (B), the braille region (B) and the character string region (T) are arranged so that the braille region (B) and the character string region (T) intersect, and the second print region (S2, S2') ) along the row direction, starting with the character string region (T), the braille region (B) and the character string region (T) are arranged so that the character string region (T) and the braille region (B) intersect, and the printing step Since the rear surfaces of the printed surfaces of the printed papers P and P' are mutually bonded after (S300), the braille on the front and rear surfaces of the adhesive paper can be positioned to be shifted from each other. In addition, when the adhesive paper is folded and stacked based on the center line (C) in the bookmaking step (S500) to be described later, the braille on the opposite sides also deviate from each other, so that the braille printed on the different printing areas do not come into contact with each other.

In the book-making step (S500), a plurality of adhesive papers are folded and superimposed based on the center line (C, C'), and the outer folded sides of the plurality of adhesive papers are adhered to a mesh cloth or the like through an adhesive in the order of the pages to form a plurality of adhesive papers. It is a step of manufacturing a braille book having a cover by fixing the book in the form of a book and attaching a duplex cover to a plurality of adhesive papers fixed in the form of a book. In addition, the cover attached to the book-making step ( S500 ) may also be provided in a form in which characters and Braille are printed at the same time, similarly to the printing method applied to the paper (P, P').

6 schematically shows a Braille book manufactured through a method for manufacturing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 4 to 6, the Braille book completed after the book-making step (S500) is the previous page or Since the braille is not in contact with the next page, but is positioned to be misplaced, even if the cover is attached after the book-making step (S500), damage or deformation of the braille due to the weight of the cover is not generated, and the formation height of the braille does not occur. Even if it is raised, it is possible to prevent the book from thickening.

That is, in the method for manufacturing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two printing areas are set on a single sheet of paper, the Braille printing areas are arranged in each area in a different way, and the two papers on which the Braille is printed are arranged in the rear direction. By manufacturing a braille book by attaching it, the braille formed on one page is positioned to be shifted from the previous or subsequent pages, so even if the height of the braille is formed high, the thickness of the braille book can be prevented from increasing dramatically. there is an effect

In addition, in the method for manufacturing a Braille book according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Braille is formed through curing of the liquid photocurable resin rather than the conventional perforation method, and the fluidity of the liquid photocurable resin is reduced through rosin powder. By increasing the height of the formation of Braille by hardening it in , there is an effect that the deformation of the Braille due to the pressure applied to the Braille book is small, and the discrimination power of the Braille can be increased.

The above-described embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for the purpose of illustration, and various modifications, changes, and additions will be possible within the spirit and scope of the present invention by those skilled in the art having a general knowledge of the present invention, and such modifications, changes and additions should be regarded as belonging to the following claims.
