Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a continuous business form and its use how thick difference in the width direction by superposition piece or the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, there is a movement in mail order companies or the like to integrate a delivery slip that has been prepared separately and a product statement list form. The reason is
(i) The cost of the medium itself can be reduced,
(ii) Cost reduction and delivery time can be reduced by improving the efficiency of printing work.
(iii) Reduce costs and improve corporate image by eliminating misdelivery.
This is because there are merits.
[0003]
However, if the delivery slip cannot be attached directly to a package such as cardboard, for example, it is necessary to apply a paste on the back side of the printed paper. Since it disappears, tack paper is required on the back side.
On the other hand, since the product specification list form is a simple list, it is sufficient to use high-quality paper or a single printer paper suitable for various printers, and no tack paper is required.
[0004]
A simple method for integrating them is to provide tack paper on the back side of the product specification list form and not use it as tack paper. With this method, it is only necessary to print and process the tack paper, and no special equipment is required for integration.
[0005]
However, in general, the product specification list form is several times larger than the delivery slip, and the tack paper is several times higher than the quality paper or printer paper. It cannot be down, and because it uses a lot of materials, it can lead to deterioration of the corporate image from the viewpoint of environmental protection.
[0006]
For these reasons, continuous forms with overlapping pieces are now in practical use.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a general configuration of a continuous form with overlapping pieces.
This continuous form 10 with a superposed piece is a combination of a delivery slip 10A and a product specification list form 10B.
In the delivery slip 10A, tack paper 13 is provided on a part of the back surface of the base material 11 such as high-quality paper or printer paper via a peeling structure 12 such as pseudo adhesive.
The tack paper 13 includes an upper paper 14 such as high-quality paper, an adhesive 15 formed on the back surface thereof, a release paper 16 attached to the adhesive 15 so as to be peelable, and the like. The overlapping piece composed of the peeling structure 12 and the tack paper 13 is stuck in a state where there is no substantial gap in the flow direction of the continuous form, and the overlapping piece is bonded or pseudo-bonded on substantially the entire surface. .
On the other hand, the product specification list form 10B is composed only of the base material 11 such as high-quality paper or printer paper, and the remaining part of the base material 11 of the delivery slip 10A is used.
[0007]
As shown in FIG. 2, it can be understood that a large thickness difference is generated in the width direction of the continuous form 10 with the overlapping pieces by sticking the tack paper 13 to the base material 11. This is because even when several hundred to several thousand pages are folded into a block shape, as shown in FIG. Can not.
[0008]
The fact that many can not be packed in one box means that a mail order company with a large amount of work has to change the paper to the printer many times, and the workability deteriorates. Conceivable.
However, for example, a printer called a high-speed NIP (non-impact printer) has an automatic paper feeding mechanism called auto-loading, and as long as the paper can be set stably, the physical load on the worker is not necessarily large. There is no.
[0009]
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4B, if a thickness adjustment spacer 20 or the like is used in the box to absorb the thickness difference in the width direction, a boxed mesh similar to that of a general continuous form is obtained. Since it can be secured, it is possible to enjoy many advantages such as a cost reduction effect.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has focused on how to overcome the low “autoloadability” that comes from the form of the continuous form 10 with the overlapping pieces.
[0011]
The autoload suitability to be solved by the present invention will be described below.
Since the auto load mechanism is different for each printer model and for each printer manufacturer, it is difficult to quantify the most desirable sheet physical properties as seen from the printer side.
However, the following physical properties are generally considered important for continuous forms with overlapping pieces.
(A) Difference in thickness in the width direction (b) Curling in the width direction
Of course, it is desirable that the physical properties other than these two points are defined for each printer and conform to the recommended paper standard.
[0013]
Next, as a typical printer, an autoload mechanism of Showa Information Equipment / SX7300 will be described as an example.
(I) First, a form to be printed is placed at a predetermined position on the table according to the vertical size. At this time, the paper width is adjusted by aligning both pin holes with the pin tractor on the table.
(II) When auto loading starts, the tip rises with the lower end of the table as a fulcrum, and the pin hole is fed by the paper feed pin tractor at the top.
(III) When feeding is started through the pin hole, the sheet is nipped by the feed nip roller and automatically fed until the sheet is supplied to the stacker. This completes autoloading.
[0014]
Among these mechanisms, in (I), the “curl in the width direction” in (b) is important, and in (III), the “thickness difference in the width direction” in (a) is important.
If the “curl in the width direction” in (b) is large, the pin hole of the form cannot be aligned with the pin tractor on the table, and paper setting becomes difficult, and the “thickness difference in the width direction” in (a) If it is large, the pressure applied by the nip roller is only on the extremely thick overlapped one side, which makes it easy to meander.
[0015]
Actually, since it is fed by a pin, it often does not mean to meander, but the pin hole is distorted or jammed due to the adjustment state of the printer, the friction level of the members constituting the mechanism such as the nip roller, etc. As a result, there are some cases where autoload failure occurs.
Since this continuous form is a mechanism that feeds through a pin hole, if the paper is successfully set by autoloading, printing in units of one box is possible unless there is a problem. The same applies to curl and thickness difference.
[0016]
An object of the present invention, while taking full advantage of the continuous business form a thick difference in the width direction, to solve these problems, provides excellent continuous business form and their use methods from automatic loading suitability, good Is to build a simple printing job.
[0017]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the invention of claim 1 is directed to the first page on the first side in a continuous form in which a thick form part and a thin form part having different thicknesses are connected in the width direction and a plurality of continuous pages are continuous in the flow direction. , said thin form part (10B-1) only Bei example, the thin form part, and characterized by, that is by Oriawa the first page of the top side (P1) and second page (P2) This is a continuous form.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a continuous form and a method of using the same according to the present invention.
In the embodiment described below, the same reference numerals are given to portions that perform the same functions as those of the above-described conventional example, and overlapping drawings and descriptions are omitted as appropriate.
In the continuous form 10-1 of this embodiment, a thick delivery slip (thick form section, overlapping piece) 10A and a thin product specification list form (thin form section) 10B are connected in the width direction, This is a continuous form with overlapping pieces (10A-1, 10B-1, 10A-2, 10B-2,...) Continuous in a plurality of pages in the flow direction.
[0024]
In this embodiment, only the delivery slip 10A-1 on the first page on the top side is cut off, and only the thin product specification list form 10B-1 is provided on the first page on the top side. The product specification list form 10B has the first page (P1) and the second page (P2) on the top side superimposed, and is housed in a box in this state.
[0025]
As described above, in this embodiment, the first page (P1) on the top side of the product specification list form 10B is folded to the second page (P2) side, and the delivery slip (superposed piece) of the second page (P2). Since the thickness was approximately the same as that of 10A-2, an improvement in autoload suitability was recognized.
[0026]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications and changes are possible, and these are also within the equivalent scope of the present invention.
(1) Like the continuous form 10-1 shown in FIG. 2A, the first page (P1) and the second page (P2) on the top side are superimposed on the product specification list form 10B. Thus, an adhesive layer 17 for adhesion or pseudo-adhesion may be provided. In this way, if the adhesive layer 17 is used for adhesion or pseudo-adhesion, the setting operation becomes easier and more reliable.
[0027]
(2) Although the example in which the first page (P1) on the top side of the product specification list form 10B is folded to the second page (P2) side has been described, the continuous form 10-3 shown in FIG. In the state where the delivery slip 10A-1 is not separated, the first page (P1) on the top side of the product specification list form 10B is separated from the quality paper or printer paper which adjusts the thickness difference from the delivery slip 10A-1. The base material (thickness adjusting member) 18 may be attached by the adhesive layer 17.
[0028]
(3) At the time of shipment, the delivery slip 10A-1 is not separated and packed in a box, and the user separates only the first page on the top side of the delivery slip 10A (# 101), and the product specification list form The first page (P1) on the top side of 10B may be superimposed on the second page (P2) and fed (# 102), and set in the printer.
[0029]
(4) Of course, at the time of shipment, as shown in FIG. 1, the delivery slip 10A-1 is separated and packed in a box, and the user selects the first page on the top side of the product specification list form 10B ( P1) may be superimposed on the second page (P2), fed (# 102), and set in the printer.
[0030]
(5) Although an example of a printer that sends by pin has been described, the present invention can be similarly applied to a pinless printer.
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the present invention, even if a continuous form has a thickness difference in the width direction, the thickness difference of the first page is eliminated or reduced. There is an effect that it can be improved.
