FIG. 1 to FIG. 12 show one embodiment, FIG. 13 shows another aspect of a partial configuration, and FIG. 14 shows another embodiment.

A first embodiment of a folded document according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
First, in FIG. 1, A is an original drawing of the folded document of the present invention, and this original drawing A is composed of 3 × 3 = 9 spreads equally divided into three vertically and horizontally, and each spread is further divided. Is divided into two equal parts vertically and horizontally, and 6 × 6 = 36 segmented minimum pages 10 are arranged in an orthogonal lattice pattern.
That is, the surface of the original drawing A is divided into orthogonal lattices composed of a group of row direction lattice lines m (m0 to m6) and a group of column direction lattice lines n (n0 to n6), and the smallest divided unit is the division minimum. It is page 10. In addition, the row direction grid lines m0 and m6 and the column direction grid lines n0 and n6 are the peripheral edges (contour lines) of the original drawing A.
A band-shaped region between two adjacent row-direction grid lines m (m0 to m6) is defined as a row M (M1 to M6), and between two adjacent column-direction grid lines n (n0 to n6). The band-like region is a column N (N1 to N6).

  An arbitrary divided minimum page 10 is expressed by a row and a column. For example, (3, 2) is a page in the third row M3 from the top and in the second column N2 from the left. According to this, the minimum segmented page 10 in the upper left corner is (1, 1), and the minimum segmented page 10 in the lower right corner is (6, 6).

  In addition, the spread is composed of four divided minimum pages 10 arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions. For example, the spread in the center is (3, 3), (3, 4), (4, 3), ( 4 and 4).

  Further, the original document A that is a folded document is provided with a mountain fold 15, a valley fold 16, a reversible fold 17, and a slit 18 that are applied along the row direction grid line m and the column direction grid line n. The reversible fold 17 is a fold in which a mountain fold and a valley fold are reversible, and the slit 18 is physically cut. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, these are expressed as a solid line for the mountain fold 15, a broken line for the valley fold 16, a dashed line for the reversible fold 17, and a double line for the slit 18.

FIG. 3 shows the distinction and position of the mountain fold 15, the valley fold 16, the reversible fold 17, and the slit 18 to be processed with respect to the row direction lattice line m and the column direction lattice line n of FIG. . For example, in the case of the mountain fold 15, the portion is not already formed in a convex shape, but shows a state in which it is prepared.
In the row direction, m1, m3, and m5 are valley folds 16, and m2 and m4 are mountain folds 15, which are alternately arranged.
In the column direction, except for the uppermost row M1 and the lowermost row M6, n1, n3, and n5 are reversible folds 17, and n2 and n4 are slits 18, which are alternately arranged.
Further, on the uppermost row M1 and the lowermost row M6, n1, n3, and n5 are valley folds 16, and n2 and n4 are mountain folds 15, which are alternately arranged.
In short, in the column direction, the uppermost and lowermost rows M1 and M6 on the extension of the reversible fold 17 are valley folds 16, and the uppermost and lowermost rows M1 and M6 on the extension of the slits 18 are mountain folds 15.

A process in which the original A in FIG. 1 is transformed into a folded document will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, the row direction grid lines m from m1 to m5 are fold-folded 15 and valley-folded 16, and the original A is folded up and down in a bellows shape. At this time, the rows M1 and M6 are displayed in the drawing as being maintained in the initial planar state (a state included in the same plane), but this is not necessarily required.
Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the folding is further advanced, and the folding in the vertical direction is completely finished as shown in FIG.
At this time, the row-direction grid lines m1, m3, and m5 that become all the valley folds 16 are concentrated in one place, and when viewed from the back side, the back of the signature is formed. That is, it is a place where all the divided minimum pages 10 can be combined.
In addition, the back of the signature is bound via, for example, glue 11 or the like.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 7, the close rows M2 and M3 are swung so as to approach the row M1, and the close rows M4 and M5 are swung so as to approach the row M6. As shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that the closely spaced rows M2 and M3 overlap the row M1, and the closely spaced rows M4 and M5 overlap the row M6.

By the way, in FIG. 8, when attention is paid to the column-direction grid lines n1, n3, and n5 in the column direction, the fold line on the bottom row M1 and the row M6 is the valley fold 16, and the row from the row M2 above it is the row. Up to M5, it becomes a reversible fold 17, and when it overlaps integrally, the reversible fold 17 portion comes to adapt to the valley fold 16.
When attention is paid to the column-direction grid lines n2 and n4 in the column direction, the folds on the bottom row M1 and the row M6 are mountain folds 15, and the upper rows M2 to M5 become slits 18. When they are integrally overlapped, the slit 18 portion is adapted to the mountain fold 15.
Accordingly, a text fold in which valley folds 16 and mountain folds 15 are alternately arranged in the left-right direction is prepared.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9, a pair of thick sheet-like cover sheets 12 are fixed to the left and right ends of the sentence in the row direction, thereby completing the folded document as shown in FIG. To do.
In this case, it is also possible to form a regular booklet using a continuous sheet-like cover in which a pair of cover sheets 12 are continuously connected along a crease line.

By the way, the spread portion shown in FIG. 10 corresponds to a central region divided into 3 × 3 when referring to FIG. 1, and this spread configuration is not limited to two pages on the left and right of a normal book, but also on the top and bottom. The four divided minimum pages 10 (3, 3), (3, 4), (4, 3), (4, 4) are divided into one continuous sheet. . That is, the minimum segment pages 10 (3, 3) and (3, 4), (4, 3) and (4, 4) are connected in a reversible fold 17, and the minimum segment pages 10 (3, 3) and ( 4, 3), (3, 4) and (4, 4) are connected by valley folds 16.
Then, when turning the bottom two division minimum pages 10 (4, 3), (4, 4) in FIG. 10, the spreads on the south side (5, 3), (5, 4), (6 3), (6, 4) appear.
Similarly, when turning the top two divided minimum pages 10 (3, 3), (3, 4), the spread on the north side (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3) in the map , (2, 4) appear.
Furthermore, the direction of the left and right (east and west) regions may be turned in the same way as in a normal booklet. However, it is not guaranteed that the corresponding spread will appear on the left and right sides of the original spread. At that time, you can turn up and down to reach your goal.
This point can be dealt with by adding a page or mark in the vertical direction.
In other words, the folded document of the present invention can be continuously accessed both vertically and horizontally from the current reference spread.

The folded document of the present invention has a structure in which the spread is not composed of two normal left and right pages, but is composed of four divided minimum pages 10 formed by orthogonal cross folds. It is a feature, and this makes the holding function excellent.
That is, as shown in FIG. 11, when the cross fold formed by the column-direction lattice lines n and the row-direction lattice lines m in the spread is defined as p in the vertical direction, r in the horizontal direction, and s in the horizontal direction, r and s are on the grid line m3 in the row direction of FIG. 6, and the upper and lower six divided minimum pages 10 are combined to form the spine of the upper and lower divided minimum pages 10, so that they have sufficient rigidity. Yes.
On the other hand, the vertical folds p and q have a structure in which two reversible folds 17 on the column-direction lattice line n3 are overlapped, and have sufficient rigidity.

As described above, these creases p, q, r, and s have sufficient rigidity, but have a more stable structure due to their interaction. In other words, this interaction is related to the property of a composite hinge in which a flat plate is divided into vertical and horizontal crosses and joined to each other by four hinges. Only the other set of rotations are suppressed. This principle of linking the four hinges to each other is well known in the case of special hinges used to rotate and fix the top plate of the folding table.
Of course, the rigidity of the original drawing A used for the folded document does not reach the flat plate, but the essence of the above principle is inherited. Considering the form of normal use now, it is natural to grip the vicinity of the fold line q at hand with a shallow fold angle, and the fold line q is fixed. According to the above principle, the crease p is constrained to the same fold angle as the crease q, and is also fixed. Further, according to the above principle, the folding angles of the creases r and s are restrained to almost zero. In other words, the grip extends to all the folds p, q, r, and s by grasping the hand portion. In this way, if all the folds p, q, r, and s constituting the cross are fixed, each of the four divided minimum pages 10 in which the two sides are held by the crease becomes stable and has an excellent holding function. Demonstrate.

Further, the second embodiment of the folded document of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 14. An appropriate original drawing A to be a folded document is converted into an arbitrary number of strip-shaped lateral directions by orthogonal row-direction grid lines m and column-direction grid lines n. A plurality of divided minimum pages 10 are formed by dividing into rows M as regions and dividing into columns N as even-numbered strip-like vertical regions.
Further, the column-direction grid lines n are alternately made into valley folds 16 and mountain folds 15 from the left and right, except for the outermost column-direction grid lines n0 and n6 which are contour lines.
The row direction grid lines m are alternately formed into reversible folds 17 and slits 18 except for the outermost row direction grid lines m0 and m6 and the row direction grid lines m1 to m5 on the outermost column.
In addition, in the row direction grid line m on the outermost column, the row direction grid line m on the extension of the reversible fold 17 is a valley fold 16 and the row direction grid line on the extension of the slit 18. m is a mountain fold 15.
Then, the plurality of row direction valley folds 16 are bound and formed.
That is, the folded document shown in FIG. 14 is configured such that the folded document of the first embodiment is rotated 90 degrees.

Further, FIG. 13 shows a specific example of the reversible fold 17 portion. FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b) show a mountain fold line 15a approaching the reversible fold 17 portion in a parallel arrangement. It is composed of a valley fold line 16a, which can smoothly invert the reversible fold 17 portion, which is set in two layers, from a mountain fold 15 to a valley fold 16 or from a valley fold 16 to a mountain fold 15 It is a thing.
FIG. 13 (c) shows that the reversible fold 17 portion is composed of a mountain fold line 15a and a valley fold line 16a that are close to each other. The angle is set large.
Further, FIG. 13D shows that the reversible fold 17 portion is composed of a mountain fold line 15a, a valley fold line 16a, and a mountain fold line 15a that are close to each other. In addition, this may be constituted by a valley fold line 16a, a mountain fold line 15a, and a valley fold line 16a that are close to each other (not shown).
And (e) of FIG. 13 is a part that overlaps the reversible folding 17 part back-to-back (for example, the continuous part of the minimum pages (2, 3), (2, 4) and the minimum page (3, 3), (3, 4) continuous part, minimum page (4, 3), (4, 4) continuous part and minimum page (5, 3), (5, 4) continuous part }, One is a slit line 18a and the other is a reversible folding line 17a.
The mountain fold line 15a and the valley fold line 16a are preferably arranged so as not to be bulky when they overlap.

By the way, in the reversing operation of the reversible fold 17 portion where the rigidity is increased by overlapping two sheets, there is resistance due to the strain energy in the crease and the vicinity thereof, and each of the two spreads is stable by exceeding the strain energy peak. You can turn pages in between. In addition, since the peak of the strain energy contributes to the stability of each spread state, it is necessary to design it to an appropriately low level. By configuring the reversible fold 17 portion as described above, the reversible fold 17 is A pair of minimum segment pages 10 that are connected to each other are more easily turned, so that a more comfortable access function and a more stable holding function can be obtained.
Further, the reversal resistance of the reversible fold 17 portion may be lowered by, for example, partially slitting the reversible fold 17 portion.

Step of alternately forming reversible folds 17 and slits 18, and column directional grid lines n on the extension of the reversible folds 17 in the column directional grid lines n on the outermost row are defined as valley folds 16 to extend the slits 18. The order of the step of making the column-direction grid line n above the mountain fold 15, the step of folding the original drawing A in the row direction, and the step of binding the back of the signature combining the plurality of row direction valley folds 16 are changed.
