Description

Braille Sticker Production Kit for the Blind}

The present invention relates to a braille sticker production kit for the visually impaired, and more specifically, by enabling the visually impaired to directly or indirectly easily and simply produce a braille sticker, information about the product can be provided more easily and clearly. It relates to a braille sticker production kit for the visually impaired that provides convenience in life that enables the visually impaired to more easily identify goods and use them accurately according to the purpose of the goods.

In general, the packaging box is completed by printing various characters and designs on the battery, cutting the battery using a cutter, a Thomson die, a gold leaf machine, and then assembling it.

As shown in Figure 1, there is a case in which braille is printed on such a packaging box so that a person with disabilities can recognize characters or symbols.

This braille is designed to protrude a dot with a height of 0.6 to 0.7 mm and a diameter of 1.5 mm on the surface so that a visually impaired person can recognize a character or symbol by touching a character or symbol with a fingertip. method and UV method.

The perforation method is a method of printing braille by pressing the back side of a sheet material such as paper forward and protruding the front side from the surface.

The UV method is a method of printing braille by applying a soft synthetic resin coating to the surface of a sheet material such as paper and protruding from the surface.

In the case of printing braille on the packaging box using the perforation method, the characters and designs are printed on the battery and then the braille is printed by the perforation method, and then cut appropriately using a Thomson die or the like.

As such, in the case of printing braille on the packaging box using the perforation method, since the process of printing braille by the perforation method is added, it takes a lot of work time and increases the manufacturing cost of the packaging box.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2 , when braille is printed on a packaging box using the UV method, the characters and designs are printed on the battery and then the characters and designs and braille are printed on the battery at the same time, either by printing the braille using the UV method. After printing, it is appropriately cut using a Thomson die or the like.

When characters are printed on a battery and then braille is printed, the process of printing braille is added as in the perforation method, so it takes a lot of work and greatly increases the manufacturing cost of the packaging box.

In addition, when using the UV method to print characters and Braille on the battery at the same time, since the material cost of UV ink is high, the manufacturing cost of the packaging box is increased compared to the case of using the perforation method.

In order to solve this problem, in Registered Utility Model No. 20-289545, as shown in FIG. 3, a braille pin 6a corresponding to braille is installed in the lower wooden mold 6 used for Thompson's work, and the upper wooden mold In (6), a pin groove 5a corresponding to the braille pin was formed, and then the battery was inserted between the upper and lower wooden molds, and then the surface of the battery was protruded in the form of braille in the process of cutting the battery.

However, in the Registered Utility Model No. 20-289545, since the pin grooves and the braille pins are directly formed on the upper and lower wooden molds, the durability of the braille pins and the pin grooves is deteriorated, and thus the service life of the upper and lower wooden molds is shortened. There is a problem.

In addition, when changing the braille printed on the packaging box, braille pins and pin grooves formed on the upper and lower parts of the wooden mold must be newly manufactured.

In addition, as mentioned above, conventionally, Braille is displayed on some household items such as packaging boxes as well as beverage cans to facilitate the use of the visually impaired, but these are configured to display Braille at the time of manufacture. There is a problem in that there is a limitation in use because a separate braille cannot be displayed for other reasons.

In fact, the applicant, on his way home from school, saw a visually impaired man standing in front of the gate and fumbling for the keys in the key pack with his hands, trying hard to open the gate. It was necessary to devise a design that could be easily written in Braille and attached to the product to have the convenience of use by the visually impaired.

In addition, although the general public can easily recognize the products displayed in the showcase, there is a problem in that the visually impaired cannot easily recognize the types of the displayed products.
