That is, the puzzle paper according to the present invention is composed of a backing paper provided with a plurality of separable puzzle elements, and a surface paper provided with a plurality of puzzle face elements corresponding to the puzzle elements and painted and adhered to the mounting board. Are individually set, and a free puzzle can be created by freely painting on the surface paper.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The present invention comprises a plurality of puzzle elements which consist of a backing sheet and a surface sheet which can be painted on the surface and which is substantially the same size as the backing sheet, and which can be separated so that the backing sheets can be aligned in substantially close contact with each other. The surface paper has a plain surface and an adhesive applied to the back surface so that it can be adhered to the backing paper, and has the same number of puzzle elements and a shape corresponding to each puzzle element. Puzzle paper characterized by having a separable puzzle surface element.

With such a configuration, since the front surface paper is plain, it is possible to freely paint. In addition, since the puzzle elements on the backing paper and the puzzle face elements on the front paper correspond in size and number, if you attach the front paper to the backing paper and then disassemble the puzzle elements on the backing paper, you can play like a jigsaw puzzle It becomes possible. Adjacent puzzle elements are divided by cutting parts on the backing paper, and the front paper is divided by cutting parts excluding the coupling parts, with the adjacent puzzle face elements being connected by connecting parts. Then, after pasting the surface paper on the backing paper, it can be easily divided. In addition, the surface paper is such that the adjacent puzzle surface elements are connected at the connection part without being divided at the cutting part, so they do not fall apart even when pasted on the backing paper, making the pasting work easy. It becomes possible to.

[0009] If the mount has a peripheral margin surrounding the puzzle element and the front surface paper has a peripheral margin corresponding to the mount, the puzzle element is separated from the mount and then the peripheral paper is separated. The surrounding margin can be used as a frame when playing a puzzle. Therefore, the puzzle elements are prevented from being separated, and the puzzle elements can be easily aligned. If the front paper has a cut-out margin that is separated from the area of the puzzle face element and protrudes from the mount, and a cut-off margin is provided if it has an adhesive surface protection paper that covers the entire back surface and can be peeled off. Since the position of the backing sheet and the top sheet can be adjusted using the section, the adhesion between the backing sheet and the top sheet is facilitated. In addition, since the adhesive surface protective paper is provided, the adhesive surface is protected and does not become stained until the surface paper is stuck to the backing paper, and the adhesive performance can be maintained for a long time.

As such an adhesive surface protection paper, one that is at least divided into two is preferable. In other words, since the adhesive surface protection paper is divided into at least two parts, it is not necessary to apply the entire surface paper to the mount at once, and it is possible to prevent the surface paper from wrinkling, and to attach the surface paper. Can be facilitated. If each of the puzzle element and the puzzle surface element has at least one convex portion and a concave portion which engage with the adjacent puzzle element and puzzle element, respectively, the puzzle element obtained by attaching the puzzle surface element and disassembling the puzzle element can be obtained. The complex planar shape makes it possible to double the fun of jigsaw puzzles.

[0011] Further, if the size of the backing paper is made to be a postcard, it becomes easy to attach the front paper, and it becomes possible to use it as a postcard after pasting the front paper.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The puzzle paper 100 is composed of a backing paper 1 and a front face paper 2 which can be painted on the surface and has substantially the same size as the backing paper 1. In this embodiment, the backing paper 1 has a size of a postcard, and can be used as a postcard with the cover paper 2 attached thereto. The puzzle element 1a is provided with a peripheral margin 1b around the periphery thereof so as to surround the puzzle element 1a. Such a mount 1 is plain and is made of a paper material slightly thicker than a normal postcard, and is set to a thickness that allows the puzzle elements 1a to be arranged adjacently without overlapping when aligning the puzzle elements 1a. is there. In addition, the mount 1 is cut by a very thin cut portion 1c in a region surrounded by a peripheral margin portion 1b so as to be divided into a plurality of adjacent puzzle elements 1a. In such a configuration, even if the adjacent puzzle elements 1a are divided by the cutting part 1c, each puzzle element 1a exerts a predetermined force or more in a state of being substantially in close contact with each other. Is not separated unless it is added to the puzzle element 1a.

Such a puzzle element 1a has, for example, a planar shape having at least one convex portion 1aa and concave portion 1ab. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the puzzle element 1a is composed of a curve on four sides, a curve on three sides where one side is a straight line, or a curve on two sides where two sides are a straight line. A convex portion 1aa or a concave portion 1ab is formed. Adjacent puzzle elements 1a are connected such that the convex portions 1aa are fitted into the adjacent concave portions 1ab.

The front surface paper 2 is made of plain paper thinner than the backing paper 1, glossy paper for a printer, or an opaque plastic film. The front surface is plain and the back surface is coated with an adhesive and can be adhered to the backing paper 1. It is composed of The front paper 2 has the same number of puzzle elements 1a and puzzle surface elements 2a that have a shape corresponding to each puzzle element 1a and are separable. The front paper 2 of this embodiment has the same width as the width of the backing sheet 1 and a length dimension longer than the length of the backing sheet 1 by the length of the cutout margin 2b. That is, the front surface paper 2 has a peripheral margin portion 2c corresponding to the peripheral margin portion 1b of the mount 1 provided around the area of the puzzle surface element 2a, and is connected to the peripheral margin portion 2c so as to be cuttable. Has a cutting margin 2b continuous through the perforation 2d. By cutting off the cut-out margin 2c, the front paper 2 becomes the size of a postcard.

In such a front sheet 2, for example, when the printing position at the time of printing by a word processor (hereinafter abbreviated as a word processor) is adjusted, the cut-out margin portion 2 b becomes a sheet portion for positioning. . In other words, when printing on the entire front surface paper 2, it may be difficult for a printer using a platen to print from the edge of the paper. However, the provision of the cutout margin 2b allows the cutout margin 2b to be printed on the platen. If printing is started with the upper position, the puzzle plane element 2a and the surrounding margin 2c can be printed. The surface paper 2 is preferably made of a material having a good color development, since it is painted.

The puzzle plane element 2a is completely identical in shape and number to the puzzle element 1a. Like the puzzle element 1a, the adjacent puzzle plane elements 2a are separated from each other by a very small cutting portion 2e. Are formed so as to be separable by cutting the area surrounded by, and are connected at connection portions 2f provided at, for example, eight locations. That is, although the adjacent puzzle surface elements 2a are configured to be separable by the cutting portions 2e, they are connected by the connecting portions 2f, and therefore are not separated unless the connecting portions 2f are cut. Since the adhesive is applied to the back surface of the front paper 2, the entire back surface is coated with a peelable adhesive surface protection paper 3 to protect the adhesive. The adhesive surface protection paper 3 is divided into two substantially at the center in the longitudinal direction, and can be separated individually. For this reason, even if the area | region used as the puzzle surface element 2a is cut, the puzzle surface element 2a does not separate until the adhesive surface protection paper 3 is peeled off. As described above, since the adhesive surface protection paper 3 is provided, the adhesive surface is protected and is not stained until the surface paper 2 is attached to the backing paper 1, and the adhesive performance can be maintained for a long time.

In such a configuration, since the surface of the front paper 2 is plain, the surface may include a picture created by a personal computer or a word processor, a photograph edited by a personal computer, a text, or a combination thereof. It can output and print from a printer connected to a personal computer. In addition, when it is desired to enhance individuality, a picture or a character may be hand-drawn. For example, when used as a New Year's card, a seasonal greeting card, or a birthday card, a picture or a character, or a message to the recipient is printed on the front paper 2 to complete the front paper 2. The printing may be performed on the entire puzzle surface element 2a including the entire surface excluding the cut-out margin 2b, that is, the margin 2c around the front surface paper 2.

When the painting is completed on the front paper 2 in this way, the adhesive surface protection paper 3 on the opposite side to the cut-out margin 2b is peeled off, and the edge of the front paper 2 is made to coincide with the edge of the backing paper 1. Attach half of the front paper 2 to the backing paper 1. At this time, the surface paper 2 is pressed in order from the end where the surface paper 2 is attached, so that no air bubbles remain between the backing paper 1 and the surface paper 2. Thereafter, the remaining adhesive surface protection paper 3 is peeled off, and the other half of the top surface paper 2 is attached to the backing paper 1 while holding the cutting margin 2b. When the top paper 2 is pasted on the backing paper 1, the cut margin 2b is cut along the perforations 2d to complete the cut. As a result, a postcard that becomes a jigsaw puzzle is completed. The completed postcard is the one with the creator's desired painting, and becomes a jigsaw puzzle with unique and originality.

When used as a postcard, a transparent bag made of a synthetic resin film slightly larger than the surface paper 2 is written on the adhesive surface protection paper 3 without attaching the surface paper 2 to the backing paper 1. And post it. A person who receives such a postcard can play the jigsaw puzzle after reading the printed or handwritten message, separating the respective puzzle elements 1a. In this case, since the peripheral margin 1b of the mount 1 serves as a frame for performing a jigsaw puzzle, the puzzle elements 1a can be easily arranged, and the aligned puzzle elements 1a can be prevented from being separated. Moreover, the puzzle element 1a obtained by attaching and disassembling the puzzle surface element 2a has the convex portion 1aa and the concave portion 1ab, so that its planar shape is complicated, and the enjoyment of the jigsaw puzzle is doubled. Becomes

A person who wants to create a puzzle by attaching the surface paper 2 on which a picture or text is written to the mount 1 and the size of the surface paper 2 as, for example, A4 size, and then disassemble and send it by sealed letter By mailing to, you can create a playful and witty letter that tells the text when you complete the puzzle. The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. In the above embodiment, the number of puzzle elements 1a and puzzle plane elements 2a is set to 28. However, if the mount sheet 1 and the front sheet 2 are larger than a postcard, the number is set to, for example, 50. May be something. Further, the shape of each of the puzzle element 1a and the puzzle plane element 2a may be a simple one such as a square or a circle, or may be more complicated than in the embodiment.

Further, the cut margins may be provided on both short sides or four sides of the front surface paper 2. In addition, the configuration of each unit is not limited to the illustrated example, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

In the backing paper, adjacent puzzle elements are divided by cutting parts, and the front paper is divided by cutting parts except for the connecting parts, and adjacent puzzle plane elements are connected by connecting parts. If it is, it can be easily divided after pasting the surface paper on the backing paper. In addition, the surface paper has adjacent puzzle surface elements connected at the connection part without being divided at the cutting part, so that it does not fall apart even when pasting on the backing paper, making the pasting work easy. can do.

[0024] If the mount has a peripheral margin surrounding the puzzle element, and the surface paper has a peripheral margin corresponding to the mount, the puzzle element is separated from the mount, and then the peripheral paper is separated. The surrounding margin can be used as a frame when playing a puzzle. Therefore, discrete puzzle elements are prevented, and puzzle elements are easily aligned. If the front paper has a cut-out margin that is separated from the area of the puzzle face element and protrudes from the mount, and a cut-off margin is provided if it has an adhesive surface protection paper that covers the entire back surface and can be peeled off. Since the position of the backing sheet and the top sheet can be adjusted using the section, the adhesion between the backing sheet and the top sheet is facilitated. In addition, since the adhesive surface protective paper is provided, the adhesive surface is protected and does not become dirty until the front surface paper is stuck to the backing paper, and the adhesive performance can be maintained for a long time.

If such an adhesive surface protective paper is divided into at least two parts, it is not necessary to attach the entire surface paper to the mount at once, and it is possible to prevent the surface paper from wrinkling. Can be easily attached. If each of the puzzle element and the puzzle surface element has at least one convex portion and a concave portion which engage with the adjacent puzzle element and puzzle element, respectively, the puzzle element obtained by attaching the puzzle surface element and disassembling the puzzle element can be obtained.
