SHEET STOCK MATERIAL PROVIDING REUSABLE SHEET STOCK MATERIAL

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to sheet stock material comprised of paper or the like, which is once used for a certain use or goods, or together with a certain goods, and then can directly be reused by the users, as general sheet stock materials, memo sheets, bookmarks, or as goods of sheet stock materials for its own original use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Nowadays, in the light of the preservation of environment, the conservation of resources, and the prevention of contamination, the accumulation of the trashes and rubbish is one of the most bothersome and difficult problems in our daily life, which not only accelerates the contamination of environments but also drains the resources. Especially, the general packing sheets made of papers and/or synthetic resin films for packing box, chewing gum or cigarette wrapping sheets, receptacles, and the like are in most cases not reused but only dumped after being used, which causes accumulation of rubbish, contamination of the environments, waste of resources, and so on.

DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART In the prior arts or current markets, there has not been any sheet stock materials or goods of sheet stock materials which can directly be recycled and/or reused by the users or consumers.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide sheet stock material which can directly be reused as general sheet stock materials, memo sheets, bookmarks and the like by the users after said sheet stock material is used for its own original uses.

Another object of the present invention is to provide said sheet stock materials in combination with printed indicia pertaining to certain manufactured goods. A further object of the present invention is to provide sheet stock goods made of above said sheet stock materials of the present invention.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

First, the sheet stock material of the present invention can be provided, by the paper manufacturer, in the form of paper blank provided with adhesive and/or dividing line(s), and thereafter it can be provided in combination with some indicia printed thereon.

Figure IA illustrates the first embodiment of sheet stock material of the present invention, in which a single, planar sheet stock material extends horizontally from left edge 66 to right edge 68 and vertically from top edge 64 to bottom edge 62.

In the specification there are disclosed, on the whole, two types of sheet stock material of the present invention; e.g. a single sheet and a piled sheet which is comprised of more than one single sheet stock material. Thus, the term "base sheet 139" and "piled base sheet 169" is used to designate these types of sheet stock material, and the term "reusable sheet 129" is used to designate the sheet stock material which is divided from, detached from or peeled off the base sheet 139 or 169 to be reused by the users. The base sheet is generally comprised of paper or any other known sheet stock material such as metallic foil, synthetic resin film or mixtures thereof. The synthetic resin material may be polyolefin resins, vinyl resins, cellulose, polyesters, and the like.

On the whole, there are three types of sheet stock material, i.e., paper sheet, synthetic resin sheet such as polyethylene film, and metallic foil sheet. Strictly speaking, the paper sheet is provided in two types, i.e., an average paper sheet and a paper sheet coated with other material such as polyethylene .film, and the metallic foil sheet is comprised of layers of paper, metallic material such as silver pigment and/or the synthetic resin material such as polyethylene film.

Thus, throughout the specification, the term "sheet stock material" is used to wholly denote these sheet stock material of paper, metallic foil, synthetic resin film, and/or mixtures thereof, and the term "metallic foil" denotes the metallic foil sheet comprised of layers of paper, metallic material and/or the synthetic resin material.

In case of ordinary paper sheets the user can freely write desired indications on them. However, in case of metallic foil or polyethylene film which has nonporous surfaces one can not freely write thereon with a certain writing means which has water soluble properties.

Thus, at least some portion of any one surface of the base sheet may be sized, calendered, embossed, roughed, fuzzed, blurred, or a certain material such as pigments, additives, minerals, pulps, or any other known materials may be coated, blended, sprayed, or painted thereon in order to provide writable surface on the reusable sheet which is detached from the base sheet for the users to write desired indicia thereon. As shown in Figs.1 A and etc., a little apart from the marginal edge(s) of the base sheet, there may optionally be formed at regular intervals, vertical and/or horizontal dividing line(s) 146A, 146B, 146C,... and/or 147A, 147B, 147C,..., respectively. Thus, the base sheet may easily be divided into two, three, or several portions by dividing the base sheet along the dividing line(s), and thereby provides a reusable sheet(s).

In the drawings, the dividing line is indicated in the form of a series of small perforations. However, it may be comprised of a series of slits or may be formed by means of any other known weakening means or methods such as mechanical pressing, die-cutting, heat pressing, laser application, and etc. In order to let the dividing line be invisible or to prevent the light, air or moisture to pass through the dividing line, synthetic resin materials, pigments, additives, minerals or any other known materials may be coated, applied, or laminated along the dividing line or on the surface of the base sheet. For example, a thin polyethylene film layer may be coated on the surface of the base sheet.

In the drawings, the dividing lines are drawn to be straight. And the dividing line may optionally be curved or irregularily formed to let the reusable sheet detached from the base sheet have various shape.

Further, by letting the distances between the straight dividing lines be different the reusable sheets may have various sizes. For example, the vertical and/or horizontal dividing lines may be so formed on the base sheet that the reusable sheet detached from the base sheet may have DIN A4(21cm X 29.7cm), B4, B5,... size, the US standard size(21.59cm X 27.94cm ; 8.5" x 11"), the standard size of post card in each state, and so on.

A portion of adhesive is applied to the base sheet. The pressure sensitive permanent adhesive, or rewettable adhesive or glue is well known and in wide use. The nontoxic pressure sensitive adhesive having releasable and repositionable properties is also well known in the art. The adhesive applied to the base sheet is any one of these types of adhesive. Thus, in the specification, the term "adhesive 173" denotes the nontoxic, releasable and repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive, and the term "adhesive 175" denotes the nontoxic, pressure sensitive permanent adhesive, or the nontoxic, rewettable adhesive or glue. And, the term "adhesive" alone denotes any one of the adhesive 173 or the adhesive 175, or both of them.

In the drawings, the adhesive 173 or 175 is apphed in the form of adhesive strip, but it may be applied in the form of area(s) or dot(s). Thus, the term "adhesive" or "portion of adhesive" wholly represents the area(s), strip(s) or dot(s) of adhesive.

The adhesive 173 or 175 may be applied along any one marginal edge of the base sheet and/or along one side of the dividing line or along both sides of the dividing line as shown in Fig.lA, or further, it may also be applied, along the dividing lines, on the fore and rear face of the base sheet alternately. To afford greater ease in folding the portion on which the adhesive is applied, along the marginal edge of the portion of adhesive on the reusable sheet 129, there may be provided a scored line 144 as illustrated in Fig.6A. About the scored line 144 the portion of the reusable sheet on which the adhesive is applied may easily be folded inwardly or outwardly.

And, in order to protect the adhesive 173 or 175, a strip or sheet of the adhesive covering means 174 of paper or synthetic resin film such as polyethylene film may optionally be provided to the base sheet 139. The size of the adhesive covering means 174 is large enough to cover and protect the whole area of the adhesive.

And, the portion of the surface of the adhesive covering means 174 or the base sheet 139 which cover or contact the adhesive may optionally be formed to have known adhesive repellent surface treated with silicone, waxy substance or other known material.

And, as the base sheet is aiming at the reuse of the sheet stock material, it is desirable for the reusable sheet 129 provided by the base sheet to have writable space. Thus, the base sheet may optionally be so formed as to provide writable blank space to the reusable sheet 129.

Generally, a sheet of sheet stock material is used to print some indication on the surface thereof. The indication may be design, advertisement or any other information. Thus, the indication printed on the surface of the base sheet is so printed as to secure and provide writable blank space to the reusable sheet 129.

Thus, said indication is so printed on the base sheet or on each compartment of the reusable sheet 129 formed by the dividing lines on the base sheet that at least any one face of the reusable sheet

129 may have writable space for the user to write desired instructions thereon.

Further, also in order to provide wider writable space to the reusable sheet 129, above said indications may optionally be replaced by a smaller indications such as trade mark, logos, name of a firm or the like. For example, on the wrapping sheet 391 in Fig.l2A a small trade mark 162 is indicated by printing(or pressing) instead of the design for chewing gum which is conventionally printed on the whole surface of the sheet 391. Thus, smaller indications such as trade mark, name of a firm, emblem, logo, or the like may be so indicated on each compartment of the base sheet 139 that said small indication may be indicated on each reusable sheet 129 detached or removed from the base sheet.

And, a known recess or recessed groove may optionally be formed on the part of the base sheet 139 where the adhesive 173 or 175 is applied in order to receive the adhesive and adhesive covering means 174.

The base sheet of the present invention is formed to be processed through normal printing, copying, and die-stamping operation where the sheets are stacked and must be of uniform thickness throughout their entire surface area. Thus, the recess is formed to have the same depth as the aggregate thickness of the adhesive covering means 174 and the layer of the adhesive applied to the base sheet 139, (and the layer of silicone or other known material if apphed to the adhesive covering means 174), so that the thickness of the base sheet 139 is uniform throughout its entire surface area.

Figures 2A and 2B show the base sheet 139 which includes a recess groove 136 of predetermined depth formed therein. A ribbon of adhesive 173 is apphed in the recess 136 and the adhesive covering means 174 is adhered in the recess by said adhesive.

The strip of adhesive 173 is somewhat narrower than the width of the groove 136 to provide a free, unattached edge parts along the marginal edges of the adhesive covering means 174. Said free, unattached edge part facilitates initial lifting of the adhesive covering means 174 from the adhesive 173 and facilitates removal of the adhesive covering means 174.

The clear space between the edge of the adhesive 173 and the edge of the recess provides a reduced thickness portion of the recess which in effect, produces a hinge line 136a shown in Fig.2B which, becasue of its reduced cross-sectional thickness, bends more easily than the adjacent portion of the base sheet 139.

A suitable apparatus known in the art for forming the recessed groove in the base sheet 139 is provided such as a pair of opposed rollers or pressing machine, and some part of the base sheet 139 is compressed to form the recessed groove 136 by that apparatus. Another embodiment of the base sheet 139 of the invention relates to that providing a reusable sheet for the address information Generally, on the surface of the envelopes, letter papers, cards, advertising leaflets, wrapping sheets or boxes for manufactured goods, and etc., there have always been some printed indicia indicating the address information, i.e., by whom it is dispatched, advertised, sended, given or manufactured.

In the specification, the term "address" or "address information" is used to wholly denote all these printed indicia indicating the address information. And the term "offerer" and "recipient" is used to denote all those who give and take a certain things, information, utilities, services or goods, respectively.

The recipient commonly desires or needs to write down the address of the offerer in order to write reply letter or refer to again at a later date. But, it is a tedious and hard task for the recipient to transcribe the address of the offerer. What is worse, writing error occurs in most cases in the course of transcription.

In order to eliminate those inconveniences and to prevent possible writing errors, further embodiments of the base sheet provide a column for address information which can easily be removed and reused by the recipient.

In the similar manner as that shown in Figs. 7B and 8A, the vertical and horizontal dividing lines (146A,... and 147A,...) enclose and secure a small portion 109 of the base sheets 139 as a column 119(119A, 119B,...) for the address of the offerer, where the conventional address of the offerer is indicated when the base sheet is used for a certain goods or purposes, and thereby form the base sheet 139 providing a reusable sheet 129(the small portion 109) on which the address of the offerer can be indicated. The dividing lines only extend to where they intersect the adjacent one of the dividing lines. Consequently, a closed dividing line extends about the entire periphery of the portion of the column 119.

The moderate size of the column 119 that I have found through experiments are as follows.

In the prior arts, for example, the size of labels for envelopes are determined to confoπn with the regulations of each state or the Universal Postal Convention. However, according to my experiments, the size of the column should be determined not only to conform with the regulations but also to meet with the desires of the recipients to use the column. First, the size of the column can be influenced by the size of the letters of each state. The Korean, Chinese, Japanese letters or words require relatively short length but those of the Western characters require relatively long length.

Second, the column for a large envelope for documents should have large size, but that for a line in one's directory must have narrow width to be fittedly adhered in a line.

Third, the size of the column can be influenced by the size of the host which provides the column. A large envelope can freely provide large column, but a small name card is suitable to provide small space for one or two lines in a personal directory.

On the other hand, the place where the column of the present invention will be attached by the recipient is between lines in a directory or at most the surface of an envelope.

Consequently, I have found that if the size of the column is moderate enough to be attached to or fit on an envelope that are not smaller than 90mm x 140mm and that are not larger than 120mm x

235mm, it will also fit on large envelopes for documents or parcels. It is preferable that, as shown in Fig. 8C, under the condition that the length L between the right and left marginal edge of the column 119 is not shorter than the height H between the upper and lower marginal edge thereof and the indicia is written longitudinally(horizontally) along the lenght L(as can be seen in column 119B in Fig.7B), the length L is not less than 25mm nor more than 110mm and the height H is not less than 3mm nor more than 65mm. Accordingly, there can be various sizes of the column

119. Thus, the size (height H x length L) may be 3mm x 25mm,

3mm x 35mm, 5mm x 45mm, 7mm x 70mm, 50mm x 90mm,... 65mm X 110mm.

And, the shape of the column 119 is in most cases tetragonal character, but it may have various shapes such as a heart mark formed by curved or irregular dividing line.

And, the adhesive is apphed to, along the dividing line(s) of, preferably on the whole surface of, the rear face of the column 119, opposite to the face where the address is indicated.

And when the column is provided by the small portion 109 of the base sheet itself, the adhesive is further apphed, along the periphery of the dividing line(s), to the part of the base sheet near to the dividing line(s). In Fig.8 A, the length and width of the area of the adhesive are a little larger than those of the column 119, such that the adhesive is applied to the column 119 and along the parts of the base sheet 139 adjacent to the column 119.

The adhesive for the column 119 may be any one of the adhesive 173 or the adhesive 175. And, the adhesive apphed to the rear face of the part for the column 119 may be protected by the adhesive covering means 174 of paper or synthetic resin film having adhesive repellent surface(such as the part drawn in slant lines in Figs. 7B through 8C). The size of the adhesive covering means 174 is large enough to cover and protect the whole area of the adhesive as shown in Fig.8 A.

And for the recipient who desires to reuse only the portion of the name and telephone number or the address of the offerer, a further column may be provided to the base sheet 139. In Figs.7B and etc., a further column 119B is formed by the dividing lines(146A, 146B, 147B and 147C) and a name and telephone number (M.H.CHO; 963-4608, for example) are filled therein for the recipient to keep it in one's telephone directory.

And, in the similar manner as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B and described in connection therewith, the portion of the base sheet 139 where the column is formed may optionally be pressed to form a recess or groove to receive the layer of the adhesive apphed to the rear surface of the column portion of the base sheet 139, the adhesive covering means 174 and the layer of silicone or other known material applied to the adhesive covering means 174. Thus, the recess may be formed to have the same depth as the aggregate thickness of the layer of the adhesive apphed to the column portion of the base sheet 139 and the adhesive covering means 174 and the layer of silicone or other known material applied to the adhesive covering means 174, such that the thickness of the base sheet 139 is uniform throughout its entire surface area.

Further, in addition to the column 119 for the address, a moderate space 120 for the same address may be provided near the column 119, if desired, as shown in Figs.7C and etc. Thus, when the column 119 having the address printed thereon is removed from the base sheet 139, the same address of the offerer can still be remained on the base sheet 139. A further embodiment of the base sheet 139 of the invention relates to that providing a reusable sheet for the address information in the form of a separate sheet attached thereto. In the similar manner as that shown in Fig.8B, a small sized sheet stock material 179 for above said column 119(119A, 119B,...) is separately prepared and attached to a certain part of the base sheet 139 where the conventional address of the offerer is indicated when the base sheet is used for a certain goods or purposes, and thereby form the base sheet 139 providing reusable sheet 129

(small sheet 179) on which the address information can be indicated.

The separate, small sheet 179 for the column 119 is attached to a certain part of the base sheet 139 by means of adhesive applied to the rear face of the small sheet 179. And the adhesive may be any one of above said adhesive 173 or the adhesive 175.

When the adhesive 175 is applied to the small sheet, as shown in Fig.8B, the portion of the surface of the base sheet 139 where the small sheet 179 is attached is formed to have above said adhesive repellent surface. Likewise, in the similar manner as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B and described in connection therewith, the portion of the base sheet 139 where a small sheet for the column is provided may optionally be pressed to form a recess or groove to receive the layer of the adhesive apphed to the separate column sheet, the separate column sheet and the layer of silicone or other known material applied to the portion of the base sheet 139 where the separate column sheet is attached.

The recess may be formed to have the same depth as the aggregate thickness of the layer of the adhesive applied to the separate column sheet, the separate column sheet and .the layer of sihcone or other known material applied to the portion of the base sheet 139 where the small sheet for the column is attached, such that the thickness of the base sheet 139 is uniform throughout its entire surface area. Further, the length and width of the area of the adhesive applied to the rear face of the small sheet 179 may be a little smaller than those of small sheet to provide a free, unattached edge parts along the marginal edges of the small sheet.

Accordingly, said free, unattached edge parts of the small sheet 179 facihtates removal of the small sheet from the surface of the base sheet 139. Still a further embodiment of the base sheet 139 of the invention relates to that providing a reusable sheet for the address information in the foπn of a separate label attached thereto. In the current markets, there have been some labels affixed to and provided together with a certain goods. The label for the column 119 has the following advantages and merits over the conventional labels.

First, the label for the column 119 is provided as an essential components of manufactured goods or services and, first of all, do the role of identifying the offerers of the products or services. On the other hand, the conventional labels are affixed not as an essential components of the products but only as an appendices such as coupons to promote sales. Second, the label for the column 119 is automatically provided, at no cost of the offerer at all, together with the goods wrapped up with or made of the sheet stock materials of the present invention. On the other hand, the conventional labels are additionally provided to a certain goods as an separate products at the offerer's expense of additional time, effort and money.

Third, the label for the column 119 is aiming at the reuse of the label after its original role are accomplished. On the other hand, the conventional labels can not be reused for any other purposes at all. And especially, the label for the column 119 has suitable size to indicate address information. On the other hand, there have not been any labels having moderate size for address information.

In the similar manner as that shown in Fig.8C, a small sized label 189 for above said column 119(119A, 119B,...) comprised of a small sized sheet stock material having a known backing sheet 188 are separately prepared and attached to a certain part of the base sheet 139 where the conventional address of the offerer is indicated when the base sheet is used for a certain goods or purposes, and thereby form the base sheet 139 providing reusable sheet 129(the label 189) on which the address information can be indicated. And, in the similar manner as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B and described in connection therewith, the portion of the base sheet 139 where the separate label for column is provided may optionally be pressed to form a recess or groove to receive the layer of the adhesive apphed to the separate label for the column and the backing sheet, the separate label, the backing sheet, and the layer of sihcone or other known material apphed to the backing sheet. And, the recess may be formed to have the same depth as the aggregate thickness of the layer of the adhesive applied to the separate label and the backing sheet, the separate label, the backing sheet and the layer of silicone or other known material applied to the backing sheet.

As hithertofore explained, the space or column 119(119A,...) for the address of the offerer is provided to the base sheet 139 in the form of any one of the small portion 109 of the base sheets 139 itself, a separate, small sized sheet 179 or a separate, small sized label 189 having a backing sheet 188. Thus, for convenience, the term "column 119" is used to denote any one of these small portion 109 of the base sheets 139, a small sized sheet 179 and a small sized label 189 having a backing sheet 188 throughout the specification.

In Fig. IB, there is provided a single-ply, above described, base sheet 139 which comprises one of a plurality of such sheets in a continuous web 137 of sheet stock material, the additional base sheets 139 being illustrated adjacent opposite ends of the base sheet 139 and connected thereto by the lines of perforations or slits 148.

Thus, the continuous base sheet assembly comprises a continuous web or strip 137 having a continuous series of base sheets 139. Each base sheet 139 in the continuous base sheet assembly may be the one which provides writable and reusable sheet and/or has a small portion 109, a small sheet 179 or a small label 189, for the address information.

Further, known marginal feed strips 138 may optionally be disposed along edges 66 and 68 of the base sheets 139 comprising the continuous web or strip 137, each provided with known tractor holes 135, to facilitate continuous feeding through computer output printers. The marginal feed strips 138 are connected to the edges 66 and 68 of the base sheets 139 along marginal lines 136 of perforations or slits.

A further embodiment of sheet stock material of the present invention relates to a thicker sheet stock material comprised of more than one sheet of above said base sheet 139 for the post cards, boxes, containers or the like. In Figs. 3A and etc, two sheets of the base sheet (139A and 139B) are overlapped to each other and joined to form a thicker sheet stock material 169 of the present invention.

Connecting part 150(150A, 150B,...) having a moderate width and length is provided to each of the base sheets 139, and said connecting parts 150 of any one base sheet are put together to the corresponding connecting parts 150 of the other base sheet, respectively, and thereby the base sheets form a sheet of thicker, single-ply sheet stock material(a single-ply piled base sheet 169) of the present invention. In Figs. 3A and 3B, the upper and lower connecting parts 150A and 150B of the base sheet 139A are put together to the upper and lower connecting parts 150A and 150B of the base sheet 139B, respectively.

The connecting parts may be repeatedly at intervals, vertically and/or horizontally provided along and between the upper and lower and/or right and left marginal edge of the piled base sheet. For examples, in Fig.3B the connecting parts 150A and 150B are formed at the upper and lower marginal edge part of each base sheet 139A and 139B respectively, and in Figs. 5 A and 5B the base sheets 139A and 139B are joined to each other at the upper, lower, right and left connecting parts 150, and vertical and/or horizontal connecting parts 150 and thereby form a piled base sheet 169.

And as shown in Figs. 5B and 5D, the connecting parts 150 between the upper and lower and/or right and left marginal edge of the piled base sheet 169 may optionally be formed to be positioned along and on both sides of the fold lines 155. The connecting parts 150 of any one base sheet 139 are put together to those of the other base sheet 139 by adhesive bonding or thermal pressing or hot melting. The adhesive bonding the connecting parts 150 of the base sheets 139(139A,...) to each other may be known glue, tacky, permanent adhesive, or releasable and repositionable adhesive.

The middle part 149 between the connecting parts 150 or enclosed . by the connecting parts is used to provide the reusable sheet 129. And, the dividing lines 146A... and/or 147 A... described and shown in connection with the base sheet 139 may also be provided to the middle part 149 of each base sheet 139 comprising the piled base sheet 169. And, as shown in Figs. 3 A and 3B, at every connecting part 150 of each base sheet 139 one of the dividing lines is so positioned along or close to said connecting part 150 that reusable sheet 129 may easily be detached from the connecting part 150.

And, the adhesive 173 or 175 described and shown in connection with the base sheet 139 is also so provided, along the dividing line(s), on the middle part 149 of each base sheet 139 comprising the piled base sheet 169 that the adhesive 173 or 175 may be provided to the reusable sheet 129 when it is detached from the piled base sheet 169. When the adhesive 175 is applied to any one base sheet 139, the portion of the surface of the juxtaposed base sheet 139 which faces the adhesive 175 is formed to have above said adhesive repellent surface. The dividing lines on any one base sheet(such as 146 A, 147 A, and 147B on the base sheet 139A in Fig.3A) may be formed to be coincident with those of the other base sheet(139B in Fig.3A).

However, it is preferable that the dividing lines on any one base sheet are formed not to be coincident with those on the other base sheet. For example, in Fig.3B, the distances among the dividing lines 146A, 146B and 146C on each base sheet 139A and 139B are all the same to each other. But, the dividing line 146 A on the base sheet 139A is at a short distance from the inner marginal edge of the connecting part 150 and the dividing line 146A on the base sheet 139B is close to the inner marginal edge of the connecting part 150. With these arrangements, the dividing lines on each base sheet are not coincident with each other when these base sheets form the piled base sheet 169. When the adhesive is applied along the dividing line and the dividing lines on each base sheet are formed not to be coincident with each other, the adhesive may help to prevent the light, air, or moisture passing the dividing line and to strengthen the tensile strength of the dividing line of each base sheet and thereby to prevent the dividing line to be splitted of itself, and also to strengthen the tensile strength of the piled base sheet 169 itself.

And, when several sheets of the base sheet 139 are overlaid to form a piled base sheet 169, the face of any one base sheet 139 having the adhesive 173 or 175 is so positioned to face the surface of juxtaposed base sheet 139 and thereby the adhesive on the surface of any one base sheet may be protected by juxtaposed base sheet. However, for a special goods or purposes the adhesive may be apphed on the outer surface of the piled base sheet 169, if required, and it may be protected by the adhesive covering means 174.

The face of each base sheet 139 having the writable surface and space may preferably be positioned to face the surface of juxtaposed base sheet 139 as to provide neat and clean writable surface and space to the reusable sheet 129. However, if required, the writable surface and space may be positioned on the outer surface of the piled base sheet 169.

The base sheets 139A and 139B comprising a piled base sheet 169 hithertofore explained are all the same in size. But, among the base sheets 139 the size of any one may be different to that of the other in order to be fit for various uses of the piled base sheet 169.

Another embodiment of the piled base sheet 169 of the invention relates to that providing a reusable sheet for the address information. In the similar manner as that shown in Figs. 7B and 8 A, and described in connection with the single sheet of the base sheet 139, above said dividing lines enclose and secure a small portion 109 of any one of the base sheets 139 comprising the piled base sheet 169 as a column 119(119A, 119B,...) for the address of the offerer, where the conventional address of the offerer is indicated when the piled base sheet is used for a certain goods or purposes, and thereby form the piled base sheet 169 providing reusable sheet(the small portion 109) on which the address of the offerer can be indicated.

Above said adhesive 173 or 175 for the column 119, further columns 119, and a moderate space 120 for further address described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig. IA may also be provided to the base sheets 139 comprising the piled base sheet 169.

The adhesive 173 or 175 apphed to the column 119 of any one base sheet 139 is protected by the surface of the juxtaposed base sheet 139. Further, when the aggressively tacky non-drying adhesive 175 is apphed to the column 119, the part of the surface of the juxtaposed base sheet 139 which faces the adhesive 175 of the column 119 is formed to have above said adhesive repellent surface. And, in the similar manner as that shown in Fig.8B and described in connection therewith, in order to provide even surface, the part of the surface of the base sheet 139 which contacts the adhesive 173 or 175 applied to the column 119 of the juxtaposed base sheet 139 may optionally be pressed to form a recess to fittedly receive said adhesive 173 or 175.

A further embodiment of the piled base sheet 169 of the invention relates to that providing a reusable sheet for the address information in the form of a separate sheet attached thereto.

In the similar manner as that shown in Fig.8B, a small sized sheet stock material 179 for above said column 119(119A, 119B,...) is separately prepared and attached to a certain part of any one of the base sheets 139 comprising a piled base sheet 169, where the conventional address of the offerer is indicated when the piled base sheet is used for a certain goods or purposes, and thereby form the piled base sheet 169 providing reusable sheet 129(small sheet 179) on which the address can be indicated.

The separate, small sheet 179 for the column 119 is attached to a certain part of the base sheet 139 by means of adhesive applied to the rear face of the small sheet 179. And the adhesive may be above said releasable and repositionable adhesive 173 or known tacky adhesive 175 used for conventional labels.

And, when the tacky adhesive 175 is applied to the small sheet, the portion of the surface of the base sheet 139 where the small sheet 179 is attached is formed to have above said adhesive repellent surface.

And, in the similar manner as that shown in Fig.8B and described in connection therewith, in order to provide even surface, the portion of the surface of the base sheet 139 where the small sheet 179 is attached may optionally be pressed to form a recess to fittedly receive the small sheet.

Further, the length and width of the area of the adhesive applied to the rear face of the small sheet 179 may be a little smaller than those of small sheet to provide a free, unattached edge parts along the marginal edges of the small sheet. Accordingly, said free, unattached edge parts of the small sheet 179 facilitates removal of the small sheet from the surface of the piled base sheet 169.

Still a further embodiment of the piled base sheet 169 of the invention relates to that providing a reusable sheet for the address information in the form of a separate label attached thereto.

In the similar manner as that shown in Fig.8C, a small sized label 189 for above said column 119(119A,...) comprised of a small sized sheet stock material and a known backing sheet 188 are separately prepared and attached to a certain part of any one of the base sheets 139 comprising a piled base sheet 169, where the conventional address of the offerer is indicated when the piled base sheet is used for a certain goods or purposes, and thereby form the piled base sheet 169 providing reusable sheet 129(the label 189) on which the address information can be indicated.

And, in the similar manner as that shown in Fig.8C and described in connection therewith, in order to provide even surface, the portion of the surface of the base sheet 139 comprising the piled base sheet 169 where the small label 189 together with the backing sheet 188 is attached may optionally be pressed to form a recess to fittedly receive the label together with the backing sheet.

In Fig.3C, there is provided a single-ply, above described, piled base sheet 169 which comprises one of a plurality of such sheets in a continuous web or strip 167 of sheet stock material, the additional piled base sheets being illustrated adjacent opposite ends of the piled base sheet and connected thereto by the lines of perforations or slits 148.

Thus, the continuous piled base sheet assembly comprises a continuous web or strip 167 having a continuous series of piled base sheet 169. Each piled base sheet 169 in the continuous piled base sheet assembly may be the one which provides writable and reusable sheet and/or has a small portion 109, a small sheet 179 or a small label 189, for the address information.

Further, known marginal feed strips 138, tractor holes 135, marginal lines 136 of perforations or slits shown in Fig. IB and described in connection therewith may also optionally be provided to the continuous web or strip 167. Still a further embodiment of the present invention relates to an airtight bag or receptacle made of a single sheet of synthetic resin sheet stock material of the present invention.

The airtight bags for commercial goods such as cookies, chips, noodles or the like are well known. They are generally made of sheet of synthetic resin film having nonporous surface and are sealed by thermal pressing or hot melting to prevent the light, air or moisture passing theretiirough. However, in the prior arts or current markets, there have not been any airtight bags of synthetic resin sheet stock material which provide reusable and/or writable sheet stock material.

Figure 4 illustrates the base sheet 139 of the present invention forming an airtight bag 311. The material of the base sheet for the airtight bag 311 is synthetic resin sheet stock material.

The procedure forming an airtight bag 311 with the base sheet 139 is as follows.

First, the base sheet 139 is cut to have tetragonal shape and size similar to those of conventional bags for cookies, chips or the like in the current markets. And, joining parts 310 having a moderate width are secured along the upper, lower, right and left marginal edge of the cut base sheet 139, respectively.

The middle part 149 between the joining parts 310 provides the reusable sheet 129 to the users.

And, the dividing lines 146A... and/or 147A... described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA are also provided to the middle part 149. In Fig.4, at every joining part 310(310A, 31 OB, 3 IOC,...) one of the dividing lines is so positioned along or close to the joining part 310 that the reusable sheet 129 may easily be detached from the joining part 310.

The adhesive 173 described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA is also so provided, along the dividing line(s), on the middle part 149 of the base sheet 139 that the adhesive 173 may be provided to the reusable sheet 129 when it is detached from the airtight bag 311. And, the adhesive 173 applied to the base sheet 139 for the airtight bag 311 is protected by the adhesive covering means 174. Further, the writable surface and space, the adhesive 173, and the adhesive covering means 174 described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA may optionally be placed on the inner and/or outer surface of the middle part 149 of the base sheet 139 comprising the airtight bag 311.

The joining part 310 at the right marginal edge is joined to that of the left marginal edge by thermal pressing or hot melting and thereby the cut base sheet forms the shape of a cylinder.

And the lower part of said cylinder is folded and united by thermal pressing, the contents of a certain goods are included in the bag, the upper part of the bag is folded and united also by thermal pressing, and the cut base sheet 139 finally becomes a perfect airtight bag 311.

In Fig.4, the joining part 310A denotes the joined joining part

310 of the right and left marginal edge of the cut base sheet 139, and the joining part 31 OB and 3 IOC denote the folded and joined joining part 310 of the lower and upper part of the cut base sheet

139, respectively.

Still a further embodiment of the present invention relates to a label made of sheet stock material of the present invention.

Conventionally, a certain indicia such as trade mark, design, advertisement or the like is printed on the fore face of a label and permanent adhesive is applied to the rear face thereof, and said adhesive is protected by backing sheets having adhesive repellent surface. However, in the prior arts or current markets, there have not been any labels which provide reusable and/or writable sheet stock material.

Figure 6A illustrates the first embodiment of the label 325 made of the base sheet 139 of the present invention. The base sheet 139 is cut to have moderate shape and size similar to those of conventional labels. Adhering parts 326 having a moderate width are provided along the right and left(and/or upper and lower) marginal edge of the rear face 171 of the base sheet 139, respectively. And the adhesive 175 or the adhesive 173 is applied on the adhering parts 326.

The middle part 149 between the adhering parts 326 provides the reusable sheet 129 to the users. And, the dividing lines 146 A... and/or 147 A... described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA are also provided to the middle part 149.

And, as shown in Fig. 6A, at every adhering part 326 one of the dividing lines is so positioned along or close to the marginal edge of the adhering part 326 that the reusable sheet 129 may easily be detached from the adhering part 326.

And, the adhesive 173 described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA is also so provided, along the dividing line, on the middle part 149 of the base sheet that the adhesive 173 may be provided to the reusable sheet 129 when it is detached from the label 325.

Figure 6B illustrates a further embodiment of the label 325 made of the base sheet 139 of the present invention. In this embodiment almost all the features are all the same as those described in connection with the label in Fig.6A, but the adhesive 173 is applied, along the dividing line, on the middle part 149 on the fore face of the base sheet where conventionally a certain indicia for a label is printed. And the adhesive covering means 174 covers and protects the adhesive 173.

Normally, a certain indicia is indicated on the whole surface of the fore face of a label. Further, in the present invention in order to maximize the effect of advertisement a certain indicia 327 may be indicated on the middle part 149 of the label 325 and the same or some part of the indicia 327 may also be indicated on the fore face of the adhering part 326 of the label 325 as shown in Fig.6B.

With these arrangements, when the middle part 149 of the label 325 is detached from the host to which the label is attached, as the same indicia 327 or some part of the indicia 327 is still remained to the host, the effect of advertisement can be maximized. And, the adhesive 173 applied to the base sheet 139 for the label 325 may be protected by the known backing sheet for a label, adhesive covering means 174 or the surface of a host to which the label is attached. For example, when the label of the invention is used for the bottle of beer, alcoholic drink, or other beverages, the adhesive 173 and 175 applied to the label 325 may be protected by the surface of the bottle instead of a backing sheet.

And the writable surface and space described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA may optionally be placed on the inner or outer surface of the middle part 149 of the base sheet 139 comprising the label 325.

Further embodiments of the label 325 of the present invention is directed to the label 325 providing reusable sheet on which the address information can be indicated.

Still a further embodiment of the present invention relates to a wrapping sheet for cigarettes made of the sheet stock material of the present invention.

Generally, a number of cigarettes are wrapped up by several packing sheets and form a pack of cigarettes. In detail, a pack of cigarettes is generally wrapped up by three sheets of packing sheet, e.g. a metallic foil, a sheet of wrapping paper and a sheet of transparent cellophane film. The present invention is directed to the reuse of the metallic foil and/or the sheet of wrapping paper.

The wrapping sheets for a pack of cigarettes are folded in two ways, viz., where the longer edges of the wrapper are at the top and bottom of the completed package, or so that the longer edges of the wrapper will run across the bottom and up the two side edges of the finished package. In the invention, the wrapping sheets are drawn to be folded to let the longer edges of the wrapper be at the top and bottom of the completed package. But it will be appreciated that they may also be folded to let the longer edges of the wrapper run across the bottom and up the two side edges of the finished package.

In the prior arts or current markets, there have not been any wrapping sheet for cigarettes which provide reusable and/or writable sheet stock material.

The first embodiment of a wrapping sheet for cigarettes is shown in Fig.10 A, in which the base sheet 139 of paper shown in Fig.lA and described in connection therewith is cut, along the cutting line 156, to have moderate shape and size similar to that of conventional paper wrapping sheet for cigarettes. In Fig.10 A, the base sheet 139 of paper is cut to form a paper wrapping sheet 361 for cigarettes having wide sides 363(363 A,

363B,...) and other small flaps 362(362A, 362B,...). These sides and flaps are folded along the foldlines 155, connected and forms the shape of a pack of cigarettes having five sides.

The wrapping sheet 361 may directly be used as the reusable sheet 129 having the releasable and repositionable adhesive 173 applied to the flap 362 or the side 363. Further, the dividing lines 146 A... and/or 147 A... described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA may be provided to the base sheet 139 for the wrapping sheet 361.

And, as shown in Fig.lOA, some of the dividing lines are so positioned to be coincident with or close to the foldlines 155 that the flaps and the sides providing the reusable sheets 129 may easily be detached from each other.

And, instead of the conventional glue or adhesive, the adhesive 173 described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA is apphed to the base sheet 139 for the paper wrapping sheet 361 to form the pack of cigarettes. Further, the adhesive 173 is so applied on the flap(s) and/or along the dividing line(s) of the base sheet 139 that the adhesive 173 may be provided to the reusable sheet 129 when it is removed from the pack of cigarettes.

In Fig.lOA, the flap 362A at the right marginal edge of the base sheet 139 is overlapped and joined to the side 363 A at the left marginal edge thereof by means of the releasable and repositionable adhesive 173, and the flap 362B at the lower part thereof is folded along the horizontal foldline 155 A and becomes the bottom side of a pack of cigarettes. A further embodiment of a wrapping sheet for cigarettes of the invention is shown in Fig.1 OB, in which the dividing lines 146 A... and/or 147 A... described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA are provided to the base sheet 139 of the metallic foil 365. And, as shown in Fig.1 OB, the dividing lines are so positioned to be coincident with(or close to) the foldlines 155 that the flaps and the sides providing the reusable sheets 129 may easily be detached from each other.

Further, the adhesive 173 described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA is also so provided along the dividing line(s) of the base sheet 139 that the adhesive 173 may be provided to the reusable sheet 129 when it is removed from the pack of cigarettes. 45 As a characteristic feature of the soft pack of the present invnetion that the adhesive 173 applied to the wrapping sheet may be protected the wrapping sheet itself or the juxtaposed wrapping sheet. The adhesive 173 applied to the metallic foil 365 may be protected by paper wrapping sheet 361, and that on the paper wrapping sheet 361 may be protected by the outer cellophane film sheet.

As described earlier, in order to provide wider writable space, some indications such as the design, advertisement, or the like indicated on the paper or cardboard wrapping sheet 361 or 391 may be replaced by smaller indications such as trade mark, name of the cigarette company or the like.

As a further characteristic feature of the pack for cigarettes of the present invention, in order to let both faces of the reusable sheet 129 have neat, clean, writable space it is preferable to let the outer surface of the paper sheet have no conventional printed indications such as design or the like. Thus, in present invention, the conventional indications which have been printed on the surface of the paper sheet of the soft pack or hinged lid pack for cigarettes may be printed on the inner surface of the transparent cellophane film sheet.

As a further embodiment of the present invention, the seal for the soft pack for cigarettes may also be reused. The seal 375 generally is adhered across the top of the pack to both foil layer and paper wrapper as shown in Fig. IOC.

And, instead of the conventional glue or adhesive, the adhesive 173 described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA is applied to the base sheet 139 for the seal 375. When the seal having the adhesive 173 is removed from the empty pack, the smoker may fold about one third of the longitudinal length of seal and overlap to each other, and thereby the consumer may attach it as a bookmark by means of the adhesive 173 disposed on the remaining one third of the seal.

A further embodiment of the pack for cigarettes of the present invention is directed to a hinged lid pack for cigarettes made of the piled base sheet 169 of the present invention.

The piled base sheet 169 of paper is cut to form a hinged lid pack for cigarettes 381 in the same manners as those known in the art, i.e., a body having a back wall, a front wall, a pair of side walls, and a base, a lid having front portion, upper portion, and side portions, and a rear portion hinged to said back wall. Figure 10D illustrates a developement, partly broken, view of the piled sheet 169 for a hinged lid pack 381.

And, d e connecting parts 150, the middle part 149 providing reusable sheet 129, the dividing lines 146A... and/or 147 A... are also provided to the middle part 149 in the same manner as those described in connection with each base sheet 139 comprising the piled base sheet 169 in Figs. 3 A and 3B. h Fig.lOD, some part of the base sheet 139A is partly broken to show the reusable sheet 129 formed on the base sheet 139B, whcih forms the front portion of the lid.

The adhesive 173, the writable surface, blank space and/or other features or articles are also provided or foπned to each base sheet

139 comprising the piled base sheet 169 for the hinged lid pack in the similar manner as those described in connection with each base sheet 139 comprising the piled base sheet 169 in Figs. 3 A and 3B.

Still a further embodiment of the present invention relates to a wrapping sheet for the filter part of a piece of cigarette made of sheet stock material of the present invention.

Generally, cigarette butts are merely thrown away in the baskets or scattered on the streets and make the streets dirty. In order to prevent the scattering of cigarette butts and thereby reduce the contamination of environment the present embodiment provides a reusable wrapping sheet for the filter part of a cigarette.

In the prior arts or current markets, there have not been any wrapping sheet for the filter part of a cigarette which provide reusable and/or writable sheet stock material.

Figure 11 shows the base sheet 139 of the present invention cut to form a filter wrapping sheet 367 having moderate shape and size similar to tiiat of conventional wrapping sheet for the filter part of a cigarette. Along right and left marginal edge part of any one face of the base sheet 139 for the filter wrapping sheet 367 an area of wrapping part 377 having moderate length and width to wrap around a cigarette part 376 and a filter part is formed, and the conventional glue or adhesive 175 is applied to the wrapping part to frimly wrap around said cigarette and filter.

For example, the wrapping part 377A has enough width to wrap around the whole periphery of a cigarette but the wrapping part 377B may have narrow widti for the conventional glue or adhesive 175 to be applied thereto. And the numeral 368 denotes the lip touching part which wraps around the end part of the filter of a cigarette. The lip touching part is longitudinally secured along die lower marginal edge of the wrapping sheet 367 and has enough space to be touched between one's lips.

The middle part 149 enclosed with wrapping parts 377 and the end part 368 provides the reusable sheet 129 to the users. And, the dividing lines 146 A... and/or 147 A... described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA are also provided to the middle part 149. And, as shown in Fig.l l, at every wrappping part 377 and the end part 368 one of the dividing lines is so positioned to be coincident with or close to the marginal edge of the wrappping part 377 and the end part 368 that the reusable sheet 129 may easily be detached from the filter wrapping sheet 367. Further, the adhesive 173 described in connection with the base sheet 139 in Fig.lA is also so provided, along the dividing line(s), on the middle part 149 of the base sheet 139 that the adhesive 173 may be provided to the reusable sheet 129 when it is detached from the filter wrapping sheet 367. First, the wrapping part 377 A wraps around the cigarette part 376 together with the filter part 369 by means of the conventional glue or adhesive 175 applied to the wrapping part 377A. And the wrapping part 377B lastly wraps around and adheres to the inner wrapped ply by means of the conventional glue or adhesive 175 applied thereto.

After having a smoke, the smoker can peel the wrapping sheet 367 from the butt, divide the sheet 367 along the dividing lines 146A and 147A, and get a sheet of the reusable sheet 129. The reusable sheet 129 may preferably be used as a bookmark.

Still a further embodiment of the present invention relates to wrapping sheets for chewing gums made of sheet stock material of the present invention.

Generally, a certain amount of the substance of chewing gum is first directly wrapped up with a waxed paper or metallic foil, and then a wrapping sheet of paper again wraps the substance of chewing gum together with the metallic foil and forms a piece of chewing gum. Further, a number of pieces of chewing gums are wrapped up by a wrapping sheet of metallic foil and thereby form a pack of chewing gum. The present invention is directed to the reuse of the outer metallic foil and/or the sheet of wrapping paper. h die prior arts or current markets, there have not been any wrapping sheets for chewing gums which provide reusable and/or writable sheet stock material.
