[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a partially sectional schematic side view of the contact postcard manufacturing apparatus of the present embodiment. The manufacturing apparatus 10 continuously creates a close contact postcard from continuous paper. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the continuous paper 100 as a starting material. The manufacturing apparatus 10 includes a sheet supply unit 1, a tractor conveyance unit 2, an edge removal unit 3, and a cutting unit 4 from the upstream side to the downstream side in the direction in which the continuous sheet 100 is conveyed (arrow Y direction). And a conveying section 5, a crimping section 6, and a sheet receiving section 7 are provided in this order.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the continuous paper 100 is stacked in a zigzag manner by folding lines 101 formed for each predetermined length dimension L1. The dimension L1 is set to the dimension of the long side of the postcard. Further, the continuous paper 100 can be tri-folded (Z-folded) at folding lines 102 and 103 formed in the transport direction at two places in the width direction. Further, the continuous paper 100 has a large number of transport holes 105 at both edge portions 111 and 112. The transport holes 105 are formed side by side at a constant interval L2 in the longitudinal direction (arrow Y direction). The conveyance hole 105 is a hole into which the pin 21 is inserted in the tractor conveyance unit 2.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a tri-folded continuous paper (that is, tri-fold continuous paper) 100 viewed from the downstream side. FIG. 4 is a view taken along arrow IV in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the three-fold continuous paper 100 has a triple structure including a front surface portion 110, a main body portion 120, and a back surface portion 130. The tri-fold continuous paper 100 is folded at a fold line 102 and folded at a fold line 103, and the front surface portion 110 overlaps the main body portion 120 from above, and the main body portion 120 overlaps the back surface portion 130 from above. .

  The paper supply unit 1 includes a storage unit 11 and a folding unit 12. The accommodating portion 11 accommodates the continuous paper 100 folded in a zigzag manner along the fold line 101 and supplies the continuous paper 100 to the folding portion 12. The folding unit 12 is configured to fold the continuous paper 100 in three along folding lines 102 and 103.

  The tractor transport unit 2 includes a pair of left and right pin belts 22 and a pair of front and rear rollers 23 and 24. The pin belt 22 has an endless annular shape, is stretched between a roller 23 and a roller 24, and is rotated by the roller 24. The pin belt 22 has a large number of pins 21 on the surface. The pins 21 are formed side by side at a constant interval L2 (see FIG. 2) in the transport direction (arrow Y direction). Thus, the tractor transport unit 2 transports the tri-fold continuous paper 100 by inserting the pins 21 into the transport holes 105 of both edge portions 111 and 112 and rotationally driving the pin belt 22.

  The edge removing unit 3 is configured to cut and remove both edges 111 and 112 of the conveyed tri-fold continuous paper 100 at predetermined positions X1 and X2. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the position X <b> 1 is located in a portion of the surface portion 110 facing the main body portion 120. That is, the position X1 is not located in a portion of the surface portion 110 that protrudes from the main body portion 120 (Z1 portion in FIG. 4). Further, the position X <b> 2 is located at a portion of the back surface portion 130 facing the main body portion 120. That is, the position X2 is not located in the portion of the back surface portion 130 that protrudes from the main body portion 120 (Z2 portion in FIG. 4). Details of the edge removing unit 3 will be described later.

  The cutting unit 4 includes a pair of upper and lower conveying rollers 41 on the upstream side and a pair of upper and lower conveying rollers 42. The rotational speed of the transport roller 42 is set to be larger than the rotational speed of the transport roller 41. Therefore, when the tri-fold continuous paper 100 from which both edges 111 and 112 are removed is sandwiched between the transport rollers 42 by the transport roller 42, the cutting unit 4 moves the tri-fold continuous paper 100 downstream by the transport rollers 42. As a result, the three-fold continuous paper 100 is torn along the fold line 101 located between the transport roller 41 and the transport roller 42. That is, the cutting unit 4 cuts the tri-fold continuous paper 100 from which both edge portions 111 and 112 are removed every predetermined length L1, thereby creating a tri-fold paper piece of the predetermined length L1. ing.

  The transport unit 5 has three pairs of upper and lower transport rollers 51 in the transport direction. The conveyance unit 5 is configured to send the tri-fold paper piece obtained by the cutting unit 4 to the crimping unit 6.

  The pressure bonding part 6 has a pair of upper and lower pressure rollers 61. The pressure roller 61 is configured to apply pressure while conveying the tri-fold paper piece so that the front surface portion 110 and the back surface portion 130 are bonded to the main body portion 120. When the tri-fold paper piece passes through the crimping part 6, it becomes a postcard.

  The sheet receiving unit 7 is composed of a stacker device that sequentially stacks the contact postcards sent from the crimping unit 6 from the downstream side to the upstream side in an upright state.

  In the present embodiment, the edge removing unit 3 is a half-cut processing machine 3A as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the processing machine 3 </ b> A shown in FIG. 5 is disposed on the edge 111 side and cuts and removes the edge 111.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the processing machine 3 </ b> A includes a drive shaft 302 and a rotary shaft 303 that are rotatably supported by the vertical base 301, a drive roller 304 fixed to the drive shaft 302, and a rotary shaft 303. A driven roller 305, a counter roller 308 that is spline-fitted to the drive shaft 302, and a rotary blade 306 that is spline-fitted to the rotary shaft 303. The rotary blade 306 and the counter roller 308 are supported by the vertical base 301 via the horizontal arm 309 in a state where they are aligned vertically. The driving roller 304 and the driven roller 305 are positioned between the vertical base 301, the rotary blade 306, and the opposing roller 308 in a state where they are aligned vertically. The driven roller 305 is set so as to come into contact with the driving roller 304, whereby the dimension H of the gap 300 between the rotary blade 306 and the opposing roller 308 is fixed. That is, the dimension H can be set to an arbitrary size by selecting the diameter dimension of the driven roller 305 and / or the diameter dimension of the rotary blade 306.

  In addition, since the rotary blade 306 is spline-fitted to the rotary shaft 303, the rotary blade 306 can move in the horizontal direction (arrow X direction) along the rotary shaft 303. Since the opposing roller 308 is spline-fitted to the drive shaft 302, it can move laterally along the drive shaft 302. The vertical base 301 is provided so as to be movable in the horizontal direction along the horizontal base 307 and to be fixed at an arbitrary position in the horizontal direction. The arrow X direction is a direction orthogonal to the arrow Y direction which is the transport direction. Accordingly, as indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 5, the vertical base 301 can move in the horizontal direction integrally with the rotary blade 306 and the counter roller 308. Therefore, the processing machine 3A and thus the rotary blade 306 can be set at an arbitrary position in the arrow X direction. That is, the position X1 can be set to an arbitrary position.

  In the processing machine 3A, when the driving shaft 302 is rotated by a motor (not shown), the driving roller 304 is rotated, and accordingly, the driven roller 305 and the rotating shaft 303 are rotated, and the rotary blade 306 is rotated. By the way, as shown in FIG. 6, the edge portion 111 of the front surface portion 110 including the position X1, and the portion of the main body portion 120 and the portion of the back surface portion 130 facing the edge portion 111 are inserted into the gap 300. Is done. The dimension H is set to a size such that the rotary blade 306 cuts only the front surface portion 110 and does not cut the main body portion 120 and the back surface portion 130 located on the drive roller 304 side. Therefore, according to the processing machine 3A, as shown in FIG. 6, the front surface portion 110 contacts the rotary blade 306 at the position X1 to such an extent that the main body portion 120 and the back surface portion 130 are not cut. As shown in FIG. 5, only the surface portion 110 is cut at the position X1.

  The processing machine 3A is also disposed on the edge 112 side. The processing machine 3A disposed on the edge 112 side has a configuration that is upside down, left and right, as compared with the processing machine 3A shown in FIG. In this processing machine 3 </ b> A, the edge portion 112 of the back surface portion 130 including the position X <b> 2 and the portion of the main body portion 120 and the surface portion 110 facing the edge portion 112 are inserted into the gap 300. Also in this processing machine 3A, as described above, the dimension H can be set to an arbitrary size, and the position X2 can be set to an arbitrary position. As shown, only the back surface 130 is cut at the position X2.

The manufacturing apparatus 10 having the above configuration operates as follows.
When the continuous paper 100 is sent from the storage unit 11 of the paper supply unit 1 through the folding unit 12 to the tractor transport unit 2 in a tri-fold form, the tri-fold continuous paper 100 is moved to the arrow Y by the tractor transport unit 2. It is conveyed in the direction and reaches the edge removing unit 3. Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the half-fold continuous paper 100 is cut and removed by the half-cut processing machine 3 </ b> A while passing through the edge removing unit 3. At that time, the edge 111 to be removed is only the front surface portion 110 up to the position X1, and the edge 112 to be removed is only the back surface portion 130 up to the position X2. Next, the tri-fold continuous paper 100 from which both edge portions 111 and 112 are removed is sent to the cutting unit 4, and is cut by the cutting unit 4 every predetermined length L1. As a result, a tri-fold paper piece having a predetermined length L1 is formed. Next, the tri-fold paper piece is sent to the crimping unit 6 through the conveying unit 5 and becomes a close contact postcard. FIG. 8 shows the resulting adhesive postcard 100A. Then, the contact postcard 100 </ b> A sent out from the crimping unit 6 is stacked on the paper receiving unit 7.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the obtained adhesion postcard 100 </ b> A, the front surface portion 110 is smaller than the main body portion 120 by the region XA, and the back surface portion 130 is smaller than the main body portion 120 by the region XB. It has become. Therefore, the contact postcard 100A satisfies the above-mentioned restriction (a) based on the domestic postal conditions. Further, in the contact postcard 100A, although not shown in the drawing, since the character “postcard” is written in the area XA on the surface of the main body 120, the character “postcard” can be seen from the surface side. It has become. Therefore, the contact postcard 100A satisfies the above-mentioned restriction (c) based on the domestic postal conditions. Furthermore, the weight of the front surface portion 110 is reduced by the region XA, and the weight of the back surface portion 130 is reduced by the region XB, so that the front surface portion 110 and the back surface portion 130 are lightened by that amount. Yes. Therefore, the contact postcard 100A can easily satisfy the above-mentioned restriction (b) based on the domestic postal conditions. The sizes of the regions XA and XB can be arbitrarily set by arbitrarily setting the positions X1 and X2. Therefore, even if the printing material or paper quality changes, the front surface portion 110 and / or the back surface portion 130 can be changed. The weight can be reliably reduced by an arbitrary weight. Therefore, the contact postcard 100A can surely satisfy the above-mentioned restriction (b) based on the domestic postal conditions.

  As described above, according to the manufacturing apparatus 10 having the above-described configuration, since the half-cut processing machine 3A is used as the edge removing unit 3, the contact postcard 100A that satisfies the above-described constraints (a) to (c) is simplified. And it can be obtained reliably.

  Moreover, since the rotary blade 306 can be set at an arbitrary position in the direction of the arrow X, the positions X1 and X2 can be set arbitrarily. Therefore, even if the printing material or paper quality changes, the above-described constraint (b) Can be satisfied reliably.

A rotating roll body 313 in contact therewith. The rotary blade 311 and the rotary roll body 312 are located above the conveyance surface 20, and the rotary roll body 313 is located directly below the rotary blade 311 and below the conveyance surface 20.

  The cutting mechanism 32 is disposed on the downstream side in the transport direction of the perforation forming mechanism 31, and includes two pairs of rollers 32A and 32B. The roller pair 32A includes an upper roller 321A and a lower roller 322A. The roller pair 32B includes an upper roller 321B and a lower roller 322B. As shown in FIG. 13, the roller pair 32A is located on the right side of the roller pair 32B when viewed from the downstream side in the transport direction. Further, the nip portion between the upper roller 321 </ b> A and the lower roller 322 </ b> A of the roller pair 32 </ b> A is located slightly below the conveying surface 20. On the other hand, the nip portion between the upper roller 321B and the lower roller 322B of the roller pair 32B is located at the same height as the conveying surface 20.

  Both mechanisms 31 and 32 are provided in the casing 33. The casing 33 is divided into an upper body 331 and a lower body 332 by the transport surface 20. In the perforation forming mechanism 31, the conveyance surface 20 extends from the upstream in the conveyance direction to the downstream in the contact portion between the rotary blade 311, the rotary roll body 312, and the rotary roll body 313, and the cutting mechanism In FIG. 32, two surfaces are branched in the direction of the arrow X, and one surface 20A (see FIG. 10) passes through the nip portion of the roller pair 32A after being inclined downward, and the other surface 20B. (See FIG. 11) is inclined upward through the nip portion of the roller pair 32B.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the upper body 331 and the lower body 332 integrally form a casing 33 by a side surface 33A on the downstream side in the transport direction. The casing 33 rotates in a direction indicated by an arrow X along a guide shaft (not shown) inserted through the guide hole 342 by rotating a drive shaft (not shown) fitted in the screw hole 341 of the upper body 331. So that it can be placed at a predetermined position. Thereby, the perforation forming mechanism 31 and the rotary blade 311 can be set at an arbitrary position in the arrow X direction. Therefore, the position X1 where the perforation is formed can be set to an arbitrary position.

  In the processing machine 3B configured as described above, on the edge 111 side of the three-fold continuous paper 100 being conveyed, the edge 111 of the front surface 110 passes through the conveyance surface 20 of the casing 33, and the main body 120 and the back surface 130.

However, in the perforation forming mechanism 31, the perforation forming process is performed by the rotary blade 311 while passing through the conveyance surface 20 of the casing 33, whereby a perforation along the position X <b> 1 is formed at the edge 111. After that, in the cutting mechanism 32, the edge 111 passes through the surface 20B with the edge 111 outside the position X1 being sandwiched by the roller pair 32B, and at the same time, the surface 110 inside the position X1 is the roller pair 32A. The edge 111 outside the position X1 is torn at the perforation at the position X1 and cut and removed.

  The processing machine 3B is also arranged on the edge 112 side. The processing machine 3B arranged on the edge 112 side has a configuration that is upside down, left and right as compared with the processing machine 3B shown in FIGS. In the processing machine 3B arranged on the edge 112 side, the edge 112 of the back surface 130 is the casing 33 on the edge 112 side of the three-fold continuous paper 100 being conveyed, as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. The surface portion 110 and the main body portion 120 are disposed so as to proceed upward along the upward inclined surface on the upstream side of the upper body 331. And the processing machine 3B arrange | positioned at the edge part 112 side operate | moves similarly to the above, and, thereby, the edge part 112 outside a position X2 is cut and removed.
