Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for obtaining a postcard photographic print having a backside of a postcard attached.

[Background technology]

A postcard with an image printed on the back may be used as a postcard for New Year's cards. In this case, the postcard needs to have a blank surface on the side opposite to the image print side of the photographic printing paper on which the image is printed as a stamp pasting surface and an address writing surface such as an address.

However, since the photographic printing paper for image printing is surface-treated, a writing instrument using a water-soluble ink cannot write stable characters and is easily peeled off. Also, unlike postcards that have been paid in advance, it is necessary to attach the stamps separately, and the attachment of the stamps with adhesive glue is uncertain, and the stamps are easily peeled off.

For this reason, it is possible to obtain a postcard for mailing by sticking the postcard to the photographic print on which the image has been exposed, but the photographic paper with the image printed and the postpaid postcard can be accurately overlapped without shifting the surroundings. It is impossible to fit together.

In view of the above facts, the present invention has an object to provide a manufacturing method for obtaining a postcard photographic print which has a photographic image on the surface and can be mailed as it is without sticking a stamp and in which characters can be easily written.

[Summary and Action of the Invention] A method for producing a photographic print with a postcard according to the present invention applies an adhesive to the back surface of photographic paper on which a plurality of images are serially printed at regular intervals and developed. , The downstream side end of the postage prepaid postcard which is sequentially fed out with the back side in contact with the adhesive application surface of the strip-shaped photographic paper that is detected and passes through the image frame, and the downstream side end of the postcard is contacted by the contact. After strongly adhering to the back side of the photographic paper, it is then passed between nip pressure rollers, gradually adhering the postcard and the photographic paper strongly from the downstream side of the postcard, and pushing out the air between the photographic paper and the postcard to remove air. The feature is that they are integrated by sticking them all together.

Therefore, in the present invention, the postcard is adhered to the back surface of the photographic printing paper on which a plurality of images are printed in series by an adhesive agent. Since air is released through the
A photographic print with a postcard can be obtained in which the photographic paper and the postcard are in intimate contact over the entire surface.

After that, these photographic papers are cut into individual products for each image. This cutting is preferably performed by cutting off the periphery of the image on the photographic paper along the periphery of the postcard. If necessary, the periphery of the postcard is cut with scissors or punched to a predetermined size to eliminate the irregularity between the periphery of the postcard and the periphery of the photographic paper.

[Embodiment of the Invention] FIGS. 1 to 3 show a manufacturing apparatus 12 for obtaining a postcard photographic print 10 to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, continuous printing paper is provided on one side of the standing base 14.
One end of 16 is wound around the winding shaft 18 in a roll shape. This photographic paper 16 has already had multiple images at regular intervals in the previous process.
10A is printed in series and developed.

An adhesive is applied to the back surface of the photographic paper 16 by the adhesive applying means 20, the back surface of the postcard 24 is pressed to the photographic paper 16 by the adhesive bonding means 22, and the postcard 24 and the photographic paper are sandwiched by the sandwiching means 26. The entire surface of 16 and 16 is pressure-bonded to remove air, and a predetermined size is punched by a punching means 28 so as to be divided into a postcard photo print 10 and a blanking portion 30.

The photographic printing paper 16 pulled out from the winding shaft 18 passes through a folding roller 40 that is pivotally supported by the standing base 14, and then an upper roller 42 and a lower roller.
It is sandwiched between the pressure roller and the pressure roller, and further reaches the pressure bonding means 22 via the folding roller 45, the tension roller 46, and the folding roller 47. The driving force of this photographic paper 16 is the upper roller.
42, transmitted from a drive source such as a motor (not shown) connected to the lower roller 44.

A sensor 32 for detecting an image frame of the photographic printing paper 16 is provided between the folding roller 47 and the pressure bonding means 22. The image frame is detected by, for example, detecting a hole or a mark formed at the image frame position during printing.

In the adhesive sticking means 20, the winding shaft 48 projected from the standing base 14
One end of the adhesive paper 50 is wound in a roller shape. The adhesive paper 50 pulled out from the outer circumference of the winding shaft 48 is folded back by the folding roller 52.
After being folded back by, it is sandwiched between the upper roller 42 and the lower roller 44 and adhered closely to the back surface of the photographic paper 16. This adhered state is maintained up to the folding roller 45, tension roller 46, folding roller 47, and folding roller 47. The adhesive paper 50 folded back at is wound around the winding shaft 56 via the tension roller 54. The winding shaft 56 is attached to the adhesive paper 50 by a driving means (not shown).
Is rotated in the winding direction.

The adhesive paper 50 has an adhesive applied in advance to the contact surface with the back surface of the photographic paper 16, and when the adhesive paper 50 is adhered to the photographic paper 16, the adhesive moves and adheres from the adhesive paper 50 to the back surface of the photographic paper 16. It is like this.

A sensor 43 is provided between the folding roller 40 and the upper roller 42.
Is provided to detect the end state of the photographic paper 16 and stop the apparatus. A sensor 58 is provided between the folding roller 52 and the lower roller 44 to detect the end state of the adhesive paper 50 and stop the device.

In the pressure bonding means 22, the photographic printing paper 16 from the folding roller 47 to the holding means 26 is linearly conveyed in the horizontal direction. A large number of postcards 24 are arranged corresponding to the lower surface of the printing paper 16, that is, the back surface on which the image is not printed. These postcards 24 are prepaid postcards, and as an example, a postcard manufactured by the government can be used, and the surface on the opposite side of the address description surface, that is, the back surface is piled upward.

A storage box 60 is attached to the standing base 14 to store these postcards 24. The storage box 60 has an open top facing the photographic paper 16 that passes through, and has a postcard 24 inside.
An elevating table 62 for mounting the is accommodated. A guide rod 64 projects downward from the lift table 62, and the guide rod 64 penetrates a bush 66 provided on the bottom surface of the storage box 60. For this reason, the lift table 62 is inserted into the guide rod 64.
It is possible to move vertically by being guided by 66.

Further, the bearing 68 fixed to the bottom surface of the lifting table 62 and the spherical body 70 fitted into the bearing 68 form a ball joint, and one end of the bush rod 72 is fixed to the spherical body 70. This push rod
At the other end of 72, the tip of an arm 76 is pivotally supported via a pin 74. The base of the arm 76 is pivotally supported on the standing base 14 by a shaft 78. Further, a tension coil spring 80 is interposed between the arm 76 and the upright base 14, and the arm 76 is biased and rotated clockwise in FIG. Therefore, the bush rod 72 always raises the lift table 62 so that the postcard 24 is pressed against the back surface of the photographic paper 16.

However, the roller 82 corresponds to the arm 76 between the shaft 78 and the tension coil spring 80, and the motor fixed to the upright base 14 is fixed.
It is designed to rotate with the driving force of 84. Therefore, when the roller 82 pushes down the arm 76 by the driving force of the motor 84, the lift base 62 is kept separated from the printing paper 16 as shown in FIG. 1, and when the roller 82 rotates, the roller 82 rotates.
To the outside of the movement path of the arm 76, so that the arm 76 can be lifted by the urging force of the tension coil spring 80.

A receiving base 86 is fixed to the standing machine base 14 on the opposite side of the photographic paper 16 that passes through the pressure bonding means 22, that is, in the upper part, and the postcard 24 can be held together with the lifting platform 62 to be lifted.

However, a postcard that rises to the cradle 86 and adheres closely to the photographic paper 16
Since the rubber projection 88 is provided corresponding to the downstream end (the right end in FIG. 1) of 24, the postcard 24 that rises and is pressed against the photographic paper 16 is mainly only the downstream end thereof. Is strongly pressed onto the photographic paper 16.

In the sandwiching means 26, the upper roller 90 and the lower roller 92 are erected on the base 14
The photographic paper 16 and the postcard 24 are sandwiched and pressed by being pivotally supported. That is, the upper roller 90 and the lower roller 92 are rotated by receiving a driving force of a motor or the like (not shown), and the postcard 24 and the photographic paper 16 are gradually strongly pressed and brought into close contact with each other from the downstream side of the postcard 24. Therefore, the air that has entered between the postcard 24 and the photographic paper 16 is the upper roller 90 and the lower roller 92.
Will be pushed out by.

In the punching means 28, the lift base 98 descends from above with respect to the fixed base 96 on which the photographic paper 16 and the postcard 24 passing therethrough are mounted, and the cutter 100 attached to the lift base 98 is placed between the fixed base 96 and the fixed base 96. The photographic paper 16 and the postcard 24 are sandwiched and punched.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cutter 100 is formed in a rectangular frame shape and is attached to the fixed base 96. An elastic body 102 such as rubber is attached to the inside of the cutter 100, and after the punch 100 is punched by its elasticity. The photo print with postcard 10 is pushed out from the Katsu 100.

A through hole 104 is formed in the center of the fixed base 96, and a drive roller 106 axially supported by the standing base 14 is arranged.
The drive roller 106 is rotated by the drive force of a motor or the like (not shown), and the postcard photo print 10 is punched out.
It creates a force to move to.

Corresponding to this drive roller 106, the drive roller 1
08 is pivotally supported so that it can move up and down together with the lift 98.

The lower end of a column 110 is fixed to the top surface of the lifting platform 98, and the middle portion of the column 110 is guided by a guide bracket 112 attached to the standing base 14 so that it can move up and down. A cam 114 driven by a motor (not shown) corresponds to the upper end portion of the column 110, and the lift base 98 is pushed down onto the fixed base 96 when the cam 114 rotates. The lift base 98 is always urged upward by the urging force of an elastic body (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 3, the size of the postcard photo print 10 punched by the punching means 28 is the longitudinal dimension A of the postcard 24,
The vertical dimension C and the horizontal dimension D are slightly smaller than the horizontal dimension B. Therefore, the post-punching residual frame 24A around the postcard 24 remains in the post-punching residual portion 30. In this case, the width dimension of the printing paper is made larger than the width dimension of the postcard 24 in advance, as shown in FIGS. Even if the punching dimension becomes substantially the same as the size of a postcard due to the improvement of the punching accuracy, the punching residual portion 30 does not have to be separated and can be inevitably made into a ladder shape to facilitate the processing. The difference between the width of the printing paper and the width of the postcard may be such that the narrow width portion of the unpunched portion 30 can withstand the winding force when wound as shown in FIG. It should be noted that the adhesive applied by the adhesive applying means 20 is exposed on all the portions of the back surface of the photographic paper 16 where the post-punching residual frame 24A is not attached.

In the punching means 28, the unpunched portion 30 after the postcard photo print 10 is punched is wound around the winding roller 118 and then wound around the winding reel 120. A pressing roller 122 corresponds to the winding roller 118, and the postcard photo print 10 is sent out.

That is, the post-printed photographic print 10 after being punched by the driving rollers 106 and 108 in the punching means 28 is the unpunched portion.
When sent together with 30, as shown in FIG. 2, these are sandwiched between the winding roller 118 and the pressing roller 122 and extruded, but the punching residual portion 30 is wound around the winding roller 118 and bent at a substantially right angle. Therefore, only the postcard photo print 10 is sent out and accommodated in the tray 124 while maintaining its flat state.

The winding roller 118 can reliably guide the unpunched portion 30 by providing the ring groove 126 having a width dimension into which both ends of the unpunched portion 30 enter.

An O-ring 128 is fitted on the pressing roller 122 at an axially intermediate portion in order to securely frictionally drive the postcard photographic print 10.

The winding roller 118 and the take-up reel 120 are configured to rotate by receiving the driving force of a motor or the like (not shown).

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

The photographic printing paper 16 on which the image has been printed and developed is wound into a roll and set on the winding shaft 18. The roll-shaped photographic paper 16 is pulled out at its outer periphery and sent to the adhesive applying means 20. As a result, the paper is wound between the reel 48 and the reel 56, and the photographic paper 16
The adhesive paper 50 sent out in synchronism with the above applies the adhesive to the entire area of the back surface of the printing paper 16 at the adhesive sticking means 20 portion.

In the crimping means 22, the arm 76 is received by the rotation of the roller 82.
Since the 86 is raised, the back surface of the uppermost postcard 24 among the postcards 24 accommodated in a large number is pressed against the photographic paper 16. In this case, in particular, the downstream end of the postcard 24 is brought into close contact with the photographic paper 16 by the action of the rubber projection 88.
In the 22nd part, the entire surface of the postcard 24 is not strongly pressed to the photographic paper 16.

The photographic paper 16 and the postcard 24 that reach the holding means 26 are the pressure-bonding means 22.
In the step (1), the photographic paper 16 and the postcard 24 are gradually squeezed from the portion strongly pressed by the action of the rubber projections 88, and unnecessary air entering between the photographic paper 16 and the postcard 24 is eliminated.

For this reason, the postcard with the photographic paper 16 that is strongly pressure-bonded over the entire surface
The numeral 24 reaches the punching means 28, and the rotation of the cam 114 causes the cutter 100 to punch the postcard photo print 10. The post-printing post-print photo print 10 is extruded from the cutter 100 by the elastic body 102, and is wound by the driving force of the driving rollers 106 and 108 at the same relative position as that before the punching together with the punching residual portion 30 and the winding roller 11.
To 8 The post-punching portion 30 folded back by the winding roller 118 is taken up by the take-up reel 120, and the postcard photo print 10 which is not subjected to the bending force is moved linearly as it is to the tray 124.
Accumulated inside.

This photographic print with postcard 10 has an image formed by closely adhering the photographic paper 16 to the back side of the postcard, and since the front side is similar to the postcard 24 that is generally sold, the fee has already been paid in advance and the stamp It is not necessary to attach it.

The punching residual portion 30 wound around the winding roller 118 is a residual frame 2 after punching.
Since the adhesive is exposed around 4A, it is inconvenient to handle it, but if it is wound on the take-up reel 120, easy post-processing is possible. In particular, since the postcard photo print 10 is punched by the punching means 28, the postcard photo print 10 is extremely easy to handle in order to obtain the postcard photo print 10 as compared with the case where a cutter having a straight blade is used. That is, when using a cutter having a straight blade, the postcard photoprint 10 is sheared and separated by a plurality of shearing actions, and the punching residual portion 30 after punching is finely cut and the width is narrowed, Furthermore, since the rest of the adhesive remains, its handling becomes extremely inconvenient.

As an example, the vertical dimension A is 148 mm, the horizontal dimension B is 100 mm, and the weight is
When this embodiment is applied to the postcard 24 of 2.8 g, the adhesive applied to the entire surface is 0.6 g and the weight is 2.28 g, and the total weight is 5.6 g. From this, the vertical dimension C is 145 mm and the horizontal dimension. D
When the photo print 10 with postcard is punched out to 9.7 mm, the postcard part after punching is 2.65 g, the adhesive is
0.56g, 2.16g for photographic paper, the total weight is 5.37g. Therefore, the vertical dimension is 140 to 150 mm and the horizontal dimension is 90 to 107 mm.
Meets the requirements for private postcards, which are stipulated to weigh between 2 and 6g.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention has the above-described structure, it has an excellent effect of having a photographic image and being able to obtain a postcard photographic print which can be mailed as it is without sticking stamps and in which characters can be easily written.
