Description

The invention relates to postal communications and to the production of products with a printed image and can be used in the production of souvenir, gift and greeting cards.

This postcard combines the functions of a postcard and a puzzle game.

In the prior art, greeting cards with a loose leaf puzzle are known. All these postcards have the disadvantage that the picture assembled from individual elements easily crumbles. Various methods are used to preserve it, for example, they cover the puzzle with a transparent film, insert it into the frame, use a substrate, etc.

The closest solution is a postcard with an insert according to the patent US 4612220, 09.16.1986. The card is made of sheet material, of two parts that can be folded along the fold line. The insert is made in the form of an envelope with a window into which the assembled puzzle is inserted. To protect against spillage, the puzzle can be covered with a transparent film.

The disadvantage of this card is the inconvenience of its use, because the collected picture easily crumbles. To preserve the puzzle, a film or frame is used, which inevitably complicates the production process of such cards and reduces the consumer properties of the product.

The technical result of the invention is to simplify the design of postcards, which is also a puzzle game.

In this case, the collected picture is saved without scattering during transfer and use.

The specified technical result is achieved in that the postcard consists of two parts and is made of dense sheet material with the ability to be folded along the fold line, forming a book. The card contains a puzzle insert, consisting of elements that are made in the form of polygons with game marks on at least two of the sides of the element, except for the framing sides of the puzzle insert. Game tags are made in the form of half-closed grooves and figured ledges with a neck connected with the edge of the element. In this case, the protrusion with the groove of adjacent elements is made with the ability to mate and engage at least on two of the sides of the element, and the gap between the elements of the liner-puzzle is not more than 0.05 mm.

The difference between the width of the protrusion and the thickness of the neck of the game mark is more than two lengths of the gaps between the elements of the insert-puzzle.

The thickness of the insert-puzzle is 0.5-5 mm.

As a sheet material using thick paper or printing cardboard.

In Fig.1, 2 presents the appearance of the postcard and the liner puzzle.

The card is made of dense sheet material and consists of two identical parts 1. The card has the ability to fold along the fold line, forming a book. As a sheet material using thick paper or printing cardboard. The card contains an insert-puzzle 2, which is made of binding cardboard or plastic. The thickness of the insert-puzzle is 0.5-3 mm. Moreover, the thicker the liner, the greater the allowable gap between the elements. At the same time, the product properties under consideration are preserved, namely, the bond strength

elements of the insert-puzzle, since the connection of the elements is ensured by increasing the contact area of the connected elements.

On one side of the liner is an image, congratulation. The same image or any other is printed on the front side of the postcard.

The puzzle insert consists of elements 3 made in the form of polygons, for example, quadrangles with game tags 4, mating and meshing on at least two of the sides of the element, except for the framing sides of the puzzle insert, which are simultaneously fasteners. Game tags are made in the form of half-closed grooves and figured ledges with a neck connected with the edge of the element of the insert-puzzle. The difference between the width of the protrusion and the thickness of the neck should be more than two lengths of the gaps between the elements of the insert of the puzzle. The configuration of the half-closed grooves coincides with the configuration of the figured protrusions of the adjacent element that engages with it.

To fix the loose leaf puzzle, any one, two or more elements of the loose leaf, most often extreme, are attached to the inner surface of the card, for example, with glue. The remaining elements of the liner are connected to each other using game tags and are held due to the snug fit to each other.

The elements that make up the jigsaw puzzle are obtained by cutting, cutting with a water jet or laser cutting, precision molding of plastics. The gap between the elements should be no more than 0.05 mm. It is thanks to the minimum gap between the elements and the configuration of the game marks that the elements fit tightly to each other and their reliable connection.

This performance of the postcard provides its purpose as a postal item. The text can be written both on the inner surface of the card itself, and on the back of the insert. At the same time, a postcard can serve as an excellent souvenir, since an image is applied to its front surface, as well as to one side of the insert.

It can be a landscape, a reproduction of a painting by a famous artist, etc. At the same time, a card with such an insert is a puzzle game. The insert can be disassembled into elements and then reassemble the picture. The shape of the card is arbitrary: rectangular, in the shape of a flower, car, etc.
