(i) First sheet The first sheet 2 is designed so that the adhesive strength of the adhesive 41 does not develop until the postcard is folded to conceal the information entry area 33 after information is entered on the information entry area concealing sheet 4, which will be described later. It has a role as a release paper for In addition, the peeled first paper 2 has necessary printing such as a stamp affixing space and a postal code entry space on the first surface 23 so that it can be used as a correspondence postcard if necessary. However, such printing may be omitted. A second surface 24 opposite to the first surface 23 of the first paper 2 is provided with a release layer 27 for maintaining releasability with an adhesive 41 to be described later.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the first paper 2 has a plurality of transfer holes 59 on the left side of the paper surface and a plurality of transfer holes 60 on the right side along the edges of both ends thereof. The distance between the transfer holes 59 and 60 in the width direction (the distance between the centers of both holes) is equal to the transfer holes 57 and 60 formed along the edges of both ends of the information entry area concealing sheet form 1 described above. 58 widthwise spacing. When the former interval is D1 and the latter interval is D2, the value of D1 is preferably 40% or more and 60% or less of the value of D2. By setting such conditions, it is possible to secure a sufficient space for the information entry area 33 formed on the second sheet 3 and to finally sufficiently hide the information entry area 33 by the first form 2 . Because you can.

In addition, since the first sheet 2 has transfer holes 59 and 60 at both ends, it can be easily transferred by engaging the projections of the sprocket-shaped transfer mechanism with the transfer holes. can be printed and processed. The pitch (the distance between the centers of adjacent transfer holes) along the arrangement direction of the transfer holes 59 and 60 provided at both ends of the first paper 2 is set to a predetermined pitch including a certain tolerance in order to maintain the transfer accuracy. It is As shown in FIG. 2(b), the first sheet 2 after necessary printing or the like has a marginal portion 54 on the right side along the perforations provided in advance from the first separation piece 21 of the first sheet 2 of the main body. It is separated along the planned cutting line 26 .

In this manner, the first sheet 2 is finally placed on the second sheet 3 to be described later while being separated from the first separation piece 21 and the marginal portion 54 . As shown in FIG. 1(b), the first separation piece 21 is adhered to the second paper 3 with a peelable adhesive 41 interposed therebetween, and the marginal portion 54 is adhered to the second paper 3 with an adhesive 42 interposed therebetween. 2 paper 3 is adhered. The marginal portion 54 can also simply be called a separation piece.

(ii) Second sheet The second sheet 3 is the base of the information entry area concealing sheet 4, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. A masking area 34 is formed by printing or the like in the area on the left where the adhesive 41 and the first separation piece 21 of the first paper 2 are to be mounted. This is provided to hide the information entry area 33 in which information is entered when the information entry area concealing sheet 4 is folded, so that the entered information is difficult to be visually recognized from the outside. The concealment area 34 can be composed of, for example, a background pattern as shown in FIG. Anything is fine.

An information entry area 33 is formed by printing or the like on the right area of the first surface 31 of the second sheet 3 where the adhesive 41 and the first separation piece 21 of the first sheet 2 are not mounted. The information entry area 33 may have a form for entry of information relating to some personal information. For example, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the information entry area concealing sheet 4 is an account transfer request form, and has entry columns for the name of the depositor, the name of the financial institution, the account number, the passbook number, and the like. In addition to this, when the information entry area concealing sheet 4 is a credit card payment application form, entry columns for card number, name holder, expiration date, etc. may be provided, and applications and items other than these may be provided. It goes without saying that this is a good thing.

Similarly to the first sheet 2, the second sheet 3 also has a plurality of transfer holes 61 on the left side and a plurality of transfer holes 62 on the right side along the edges of both ends of the sheet. Since the second paper 3 has transport holes 61 and 62 at both ends, it can be easily transported by engaging the protrusions of the sprocket-shaped transport mechanism with the transport holes, and the above-described printing and the like can be performed. can be done. The pitch (the distance between the centers of adjacent transfer holes) along the arrangement direction of the transfer holes 61 and 62 provided at both ends of the second paper 3 is set to a predetermined pitch including a certain tolerance in order to maintain the transfer accuracy. It is

The second sheet 3 is provided with planned cutting lines 36 and 37 of perforations in advance so that the marginal portion 55 on the left side and the marginal portion 56 on the right side can be separated in a later process. Along the boundary between the concealed area 34 and the information entry area 33, an intended folding line 35 for facilitating folding is formed by perforations.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, on the second surface 32, which is the reverse side of the first surface 31 of the second sheet 3, address information 38, which is the address of the return postcard, is printed on the left side and printed on the right side. A description column 39 is printed. The second sheet 3 of FIG. 4 shows a state in which the second sheet 3 of FIG. 3 is rotated by 180° around the axis of rotation about the planned folding line 35 . Therefore, the description column 39 of the second surface 32 is arranged on the back surface corresponding to the concealed area 34 of the first surface 31, and the destination information of the second surface 32 is arranged on the back surface corresponding to the information entry area 33 of the first surface 31. 38 are arranged.

The address information 38 describes, for example, the address when the information entry area 33 in which the information is entered is concealed by folding the information entry area concealing sheet 4 and then mailed as a postcard. In the present embodiment, the description column 39 describes the description of the method of writing in the information entry area 33, but it may also include descriptions of other communication items, advertisements, and the like. Since the description field 39 is arranged on the back side corresponding to the hidden area 34, it may be a side without any printing. It is preferable to print characters, figures, solid patterns, etc. from the standpoint of concealment.

(iii) Adhesive In FIG. 5, an adhesive 41 is provided on the concealed area 34 on the left side of the first surface 31 of the second sheet 3 shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a plan view for explaining that a linear adhesive 42 is provided in a region along the edge of the marginal portion 56 and inside the transfer hole 62; When the information entry area 33 in which information is entered is concealed by folding the information entry area concealment sheet 4, the adhesive 41 is applied to the right side area of the first surface 31 of the second sheet 3 including the information entry area 33 and the concealment area. 34 are adhered to the extent that they do not come off while being mailed as a postcard.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive may be, for example, a water-based emulsion type pressure-sensitive adhesive containing natural rubber as a main component, and may contain other known components such as acrylic, solution-type acrylic, emulsion-type acrylic, and rubber. good too.

(iv) Adhesive The linear adhesive 42 provided along the edge near the right end of the second paper 3 is attached to the marginal portion 56 at the right end of the second paper 3 and FIGS. is applied to adhere the marginal portion 54, which is a separated piece separated from the first paper 2 mounted thereon, as shown in FIG. The marginal portions 56 and 54 are aligned and adhered via the adhesive 42 so that the transfer holes 62 and 60 respectively overlap in the planar direction of the form. Various known pastes and adhesives can be used as adhesives. Also, the adhesive 42 may be formed by printing or the like at the same time with the same material as the adhesive 41 described above.

(v) Release Layer As will be described later, the second surface 24, which is the back surface of the first surface 23 of the first paper 2, may be subjected to a release treatment such as providing a release layer 27 thereon. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the first separation piece 21 of the first paper 2 is attached to the left side of the second paper 3 via the adhesive 41. The piece 21 also functions as a release paper for suppressing the adhesive function of the adhesive 41 . Therefore, it is preferable that the first separation piece 21 can be easily separated from the adhesive 41 when the information entry area 33 in which information is entered is hidden by folding the information entry area concealing sheet 4 . The release layer 27 can be provided, for example, by printing ink containing silicone or the like.

(b) Manufacturing Method of Information Entry Area Concealing Sheet Form Next, an example of a manufacturing method of the information entry area concealing sheet form 1 will be described based on each drawing. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a manufacturing process of the information entry area concealing sheet form 1, which is a continuous form according to the present embodiment. The first paper 2 and the second paper 3 are respectively prepared as roll-shaped windings as a first paper winding 73 and a second paper winding 71 (step (G), step (A)). The first paper 2 is preliminarily printed with necessary characters and the like, and the release layer 27 is printed. An entry area 33, destination information 38, description column 39, etc. are printed, and transport holes for transport are formed at both ends of the first paper 2 and the second paper 3, respectively.

A second paper continuous paper 72, which is a continuous paper of the second paper 3, is let out from the second paper take-up 71, and adhered to the linear region along the edge of the marginal portion 56 of the second paper 3 in FIG. The adhesive 42 is applied by the agent application unit 75 (step (B)). On the other hand, the first paper continuous paper 74, which is the continuous paper of the first paper 2, is let out from the first paper take-up 73, and is separated from the first separation piece 21 by the slit portion 79 as shown in FIG. 2(b). It is slit-separated into the marginal portion 54 (step (H)).

After that, the marginal portion 54, which is a separated piece, passes through a guide roller and is superimposed on the above-described second continuous paper 72. At the first gathering portion 76, the marginal portion 54 is sandwiched from above and below by rollers, and the two are pressed together. (Step (C)). As a result, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the marginal portion 56 and the marginal portion 54 on the right end of the second sheet 3 are adhered via the adhesive 42, and the marginal portions 56 and 54 are separated from each other. The transfer holes 62 and 60 are fixed in an overlapping arrangement in the plane direction of the document to form the marginal portion 52 having a continuous transfer hole 58 from the transfer holes 62 to 60 .

After that, the second continuous paper 72 having the marginal portion 52 is heated by the first heating/drying portion 77 to promote curing of the adhesive 42 (step (D)). Furthermore, on the downstream side, the liquid adhesive 41 is supplied from the ink pan of the adhesive printing unit 78 to the printing roller, and as shown in FIG. (E)). Note that if the adhesive 42 is an ultraviolet curable adhesive, the first heating/drying section 77 may be replaced with a UV irradiator.

Thereafter, the first separated piece 21 of the first continuous paper sheet 74 slit-separated in step (H) is aligned with the second continuous paper sheet 72 by the guide rollers, as shown in FIGS. 1(a) and (b). Further, the left edge marginal portion 55 of the second paper 3 and the left edge marginal portion 53 of the first separation piece 21 are fixed via the adhesive 41, and the marginal portions 55 and 53 are attached to the transfer holes 61 and 53, respectively. 59 are fixed in an overlapping arrangement in the planar direction of the form to form the marginal portion 51 having continuous transfer holes 57 from the transfer holes 61 to 59 .

After the first separated piece 21 of the first continuous paper sheet 74 and the second continuous paper sheet 72 are aligned, they are pinched from above and below by rollers in the second collating section 80 and pressed against each other (step (F)). After that, the second continuous paper 72 is heated by the second heating/drying section 81 to accelerate the curing of the adhesive 41 (step (I)). In this way, the form 1 for the information entry area concealing sheet, which is a continuous form as shown in FIGS. (Step (J)).

In addition, when the adhesive 41 is an ultraviolet curable adhesive, the second heating/drying section 81 may be replaced with a UV irradiator. Further, in order to completely cure the adhesive 42 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive 41 applied and printed on the roll-shaped form take-up 83 for the information entry area concealing sheet, aging can be performed at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period of time. As a result, high adhesion reliability can be obtained in each step up to the enclosing/sealing step, which is a post-process, and during subsequent use.

As shown in FIG. 1, the information entry area concealing sheet form 1 of the present embodiment has a thickness of the portion where the adhesive 41 and the first separation piece 21 are laminated on the second sheet 3, which is one end of the form in the width direction. and the thickness of the portion where the adhesive 42 and the marginal portion 54 are laminated on the second paper 3, which is the other end of the document in the width direction, is substantially the same. At least, the difference in thickness between the one end and the other end can be reduced compared to when nothing is stacked on the second sheet 3, which is the other end in the width direction of the form. As a result, the roll-shaped information entry area concealing sheet form take-up 83 manufactured by the above process has substantially the same thickness in the width direction of the form. can be Therefore, when the form take-up 83 for the information entry area concealing sheet is used in a post-process, it is possible to reduce the risk of quality defects such as deformation or tearing of the form.

(c) Manufacturing method up to enclosing and sealing the information entry area concealing sheet Next, using the information entry area concealing sheet form take-up 83 manufactured by the above manufacturing process, the information entry area concealing sheet is formed and enclosed. An example of a manufacturing method up to sealing will be described. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a manufacturing process up to enclosing and sealing using the information entry area concealing sheet form 1, which is a continuous form of the present embodiment.

First, the information entry area concealing sheet form 1 is fed out from the information entry area concealing sheet form take-up 83, and the perforation processing unit 84 forms perforations at predetermined locations on the information entry area concealing sheet form 1 (step (L)). For example, it can be applied to the planned folding line 35 as shown in FIG. The perforation processing part 84 is shown in a simulated manner as a rotary cutter in which a blade is attached to a rotating roller. .

Next, necessary printing is performed by the printer 85 on the perforated information entry area concealing sheet form 1 (process (M)). The presence or absence of printing by the printer, and the contents of the printing, if printed, are arbitrary. can be printed with An example is the name of the depositor. As a result, it is possible to reduce the user's trouble of manually filling in the entire information entry area 33 . A printing process using a printer may be performed before the perforation forming process.

After that, the form 1 for the information entry area concealing sheet on which the perforations are formed and printed is separated into the information entry area concealing sheets 4 along the perforations in the burster unit 86 (step (N)). . The burster unit 86 sandwiches the information entry area concealing sheet form 1 between the upper and lower conveying rollers on the upstream side and the downstream side of conveying, and differentiates the rotational speeds of the respective conveying rollers on the upstream side and the downstream side. Thus, tension is applied along the conveying direction to the information entry area concealing sheet form 1 to separate the information entry area concealing sheet 4 into individual information entry area concealing sheets 4 .

A plan view of the information entry area concealing sheet 4 is shown in FIG. The information entry area concealing sheet 4 is removed from the first separated piece 21 of the first sheet 2 shown in FIG. A second separation piece 22 obtained by separating the upper and lower portions of the page of FIG. 6 is arranged on the left side. 3, marginal portions 55 and 56 at both ends are removed along planned cutting lines 36 and 37, which are perforations, to separate the upper and lower portions of the paper surface of FIG. A piece 40 is processed, and the second separation piece 22 is pasted via an adhesive 41 to the left side of the second paper separation piece 40 in FIG.

Further, the information entry area 33 printed on the second paper separation piece 40 is visible on the right side of the second separation piece 22 . It should be noted that the second separation piece 22 needs to be easily peeled off when the postcard is folded and adhered via the adhesive 41 after the user has written information in the information entry area 33 . For this reason, the corners of the second separation piece 22 may be locally provided with areas where the adhesive 41 is not applied, so that the second separation piece 22 can be easily peeled off from the corners.

The information entry area concealing sheet 4 is formed with a planned fold line 35 of perforations along the vertical direction of the paper surface of FIG. When enclosing the sheet in an envelope, after the step (N) described above, the folding section 88 arranged downstream of the burster section 86 folds the information entry area concealing sheet 4 along the intended folding line 35. Then, the second separation piece 22 and the information entry area 33 of the second paper separation piece 40 are folded along the sheet separation piece 40 so as to face each other (step (O)). After that, the folded information entry area concealment sheet 4 is enclosed and sealed in an envelope based on the cutting process for adjusting the size of the information entry area concealment sheet 4 as necessary, and an enclosed envelope 89 is obtained ( Step (P)).

A plan view of the information entry area concealing sheet 4 folded in the step (O) is shown in FIG. 7(a). FIG. 7(b) shows a cross-sectional view of the YY cross section in FIG. 7(a) as viewed from below the paper surface. The dashed line portion in FIG. 7(a) shows the second sheet separating piece 40 before being folded. The destination information 38 printed on the second surface 32 of the second paper separation piece 40 is visible on the outermost surface of the folded information entry area concealing sheet 4 . It also has a second separation piece 22 inside, which abuts on the area where the adhesive 41 is applied. As described above, the release layer 27 is printed on the contact surface of the second separation piece 22 with the area to which the adhesive 41 is applied. The second separation piece 22 can be easily separated from the adhesive 41 when the postcard is folded and adhered via 41 .

In this embodiment, by aging the rolled form take-up 83 for the information entry area concealing sheet for a certain period of time, the applied and printed adhesive 42 and adhesive 41 can be completely cured, and the stability of the process can be improved. The adhesion reliability of the product can be improved. In addition, since aging can be efficiently performed by collectively storing a large number of information entry area concealing sheet form rolls 83 in an aging room, it is advantageous when the product lot is relatively large.

2. Modified Example Next, a modified example of the manufacturing method up to the enclosing and sealing of the information entry area concealing sheet will be described with respect to the manufacturing process of the continuous form of the present disclosure. 10A and 10B are diagrams showing manufacturing steps of a modification example in which the steps after step (I) are different from those shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 in the manufacturing steps of the continuous form shown in FIG. In the manufacturing method described above, after the step (I) of FIG. 8, the information entry area concealing sheet form 1 was temporarily wound on the information entry area concealing sheet form take-up 83 and sent to the post-process. In the modification, the form printing process, separation process, folding process, and enclosing/sealing process are continuously performed without winding up the information entry area concealing sheet form 1 .

On the information entry area concealing sheet form 1, which is a continuous form on which the adhesive 41 has been cured through step (I), necessary printing is subsequently performed by the downstream printer 85 shown in FIG. 10 (step (Q) ). The contents printed by the printer are the same as those in the aforementioned step (M). Thereafter, the form 1 for the information entry area concealing sheet is cut and separated into individual information entry area concealing sheets 4 by a form cutter 90, which is a rotary cutter having a blade attached to a rotating roller (process (R)). .

Further, the information entry area concealing sheet 4 is folded at the folding section 88 on the downstream side so that the second separation piece 22 and the information entry area 33 of the second paper separation piece 40 face each other along the planned folding line 35 . is folded (step (S)). After that, the folded information entry area concealment sheet 4 is enclosed and sealed in an envelope based on the cutting process for adjusting the size of the information entry area concealment sheet 4 as necessary, and an enclosed envelope 89 is obtained ( Step (T)).

The manufacturing method of this modified example does not presuppose the aging of the form roll 83 for the information entry area concealing sheet, and since enclosing and sealing are performed in-line, it can be applied to products requiring a relatively short delivery time. Advantageous.
