In addition, it is possible to give a sense of security to the user. Although the example in which the booklet-shaped printed matter 1 has three inner paper pieces 30a, 30b, 30c is shown, the number of inner paper pieces 30a, 30b, 30c may be increased or decreased according to the amount of information to be provided.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, the user to whom the booklet-shaped printed matter 1 is delivered picks up the opening 6 provided in the lower right corner of the surface-side base material 10 of the booklet-shaped printed matter 1 with his / her fingers and pulls it up. The surface side base material 10 is opened in a U shape along the cut line structures 4a, 4c, and 4b. Next, the surface-side base material 10 is bent at the bending perforation line 5 so that it can be spread. Next, various information posted on the inner paper pieces 30a, 30b, and 30c can be browsed.

Next, a U-shaped cut line structure 4 composed of the cut line structures 4a, 4b, and 4c formed on the surface side base material 10 of the booklet-shaped printed matter 1 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cut line structure 4 formed on the surface-side base material 10 has a plurality of cut lines having a straight line portion 41 as a linear portion and a pair of branch portions 42 branched from the straight line portion 41. It comprises an element 40. Of these, the straight portion 41 is formed in a straight line, but instead of the straight portion 41, a curved line that is slightly curved may be provided as the linear portion.

Further, the plurality of cut line elements 40 are continuous with each other along the cut direction L, which is the tear direction of the cut line structure 4. Further, the straight line portion 41 of each cut line element 40 is located in front of the pair of branch portions 42 in the cut line direction L.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the straight line portion 41 of each cut line element 40 is housed in a pair of branch portions 42 of other adjacent cut line elements 40, and the straight line portion 41 is sandwiched between the pair of branch portions 42. It will be located in a place.

That is, the straight line portion 41 is housed in the branch portion region 45 surrounded by the pair of branch portions 42 and the straight line 57 connecting the tips of the pair of branch portions 42. Here, the length l of the branch portion region 45 in the cut direction L is the length connecting the base end of the pair of branch portions 42 and the center 57a of the straight line 57 connecting the tips of the pair of branch portions 42.

As described above, the straight line portion 41 of each cut line element 40 is contained in the branch portion region 45 of the other adjacent cut line elements 40. In this case, assuming that the length of the branch portion region 45 in the cut direction L is l, the straight line portion 41 is within the branch portion region 45 by about 10 to 50% with respect to the length l of the branch portion region 45 in the cut direction L. It is preferable that it is intruded.

When the straight line portion 41 is contained in the branch portion region 45 with a length of less than 10% with respect to l, it is difficult to accurately tear the surface side base material 10 along the cut line structure 4 as described later. It is conceivable that the surface-side base material 10 is torn at a portion other than the cut line structure 4.

On the other hand, when the straight line portion 41 enters the branch portion region 45 with a length of 50% or more with respect to l, the surface side base material 10 is torn along the cut line structure 4 by an unintended force of the user. Will end up.

Therefore, the straight line portion 41 enters the branch portion region 45 by 10 to 50% with respect to the length l of the branch portion region 45 in the cut direction L.

For example, when the surface side base material 10 is torn along the cut line element 40 having the cut line structure 4, the cut of the surface side base material 10 is transferred from the straight line portion 41 to the branch portion 42 of the adjacent next cut line element 40. It is transmitted.

Next, the cut of the surface-side base material 10 is transmitted from the straight line portion 41 of the adjacent cut line element 40 to the branch portion 42 of the adjacent next cut line element 40.

In this way, the surface-side base material 10 can be smoothly torn along the continuously arranged cut line elements 40.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, since the straight line portion 41 of each cut line element 40 is contained in the branch portion region 45 of the other adjacent cut line elements 40, the straight line portion 41 of a certain cut line element is used. The cut of the surface-side base material 10 can be reliably transmitted to the branch portion 42 of the other adjacent cut line elements 40 regardless of the direction of the tearing force of the user. Therefore, no matter which direction the user tears except the left direction, specifically, the surface side base material 10 is torn in any of the upward, downward, right, upper right, and lower right directions. Is not torn at a portion other than the cut line structure 4, and the surface-side base material 10 can be torn smoothly and accurately along the cut line structure 4.

Next, FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C show a cut line structure 4 as a comparative example.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, each cut line element 40 of the cut line structure 4 has a straight line portion 41 and a bent portion 46 connected to the straight line portion 41.

In FIG. 4A, when the surface side base material 10 is torn, the cut of the surface side base material 10 is surely made from the straight line portion 41 of one cut line element 40 to the bent portion 46 of the adjacent next cut line element 40. In order to convey, the tearing direction is limited to the upper right direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, each cut line element 40 of the cut line structure 4 has a straight line portion 41 and two-stage bent portions 46 and 47 connected to the straight line portion 41.

In FIG. 4B, when the surface side base material 10 is torn, the cut of the surface side base material 10 is surely made from the straight portion 41 of one cut line element 40 to the bent portion 47 of the adjacent next cut line element 40. In order to convey, the tearing direction is limited to the upper right direction.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4C, each cut line element 40 of the cut line structure 4 has a straight line portion 41 and a pair of branch portions 48 connected to the straight line portion 41.

Further, the straight line portion 41 of a certain cut line element 40 does not fit in the pair of branch portions 48 of other adjacent cut line elements 40, but is outside the branch portion 48.

In FIG. 4C, when the surface side base material 10 is torn, the cut of the surface side base material 10 is surely made from the straight line portion 41 of one cut line element 40 to the branch portion 48 of the adjacent next cut line element 40. In order to convey, the tearing direction is limited to the upper right direction, the upper right direction, and the right direction.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, according to the present embodiment, the user tears the surface-side base material 10 in any of the upward, downward, right, upper right, and lower right directions. Even in this case, the cut of the surface-side base material 10 can be reliably transmitted from the straight portion 41 of one cut line element 40 to the branch portion 42 of another adjacent cut line element 40.
