Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the storing on shelves, and the individual withdrawal therefrom, of books, in particular of heavy, hard-cover volumes such as handbooks, reference works, encyclopaedias, and the like.
  • Pulling out a book from amongst a row of other, similarly sized books usually involves its tilting out of the vertical, accomplished by putting the index finger onto the top edge of the book, near the headband and, in fact, using the latter and/or the edge of the cover back as points of purchase.
  • the book having thus been tilted, the thumb and middle finger are used to pull it free. All these manipulations, repeated again and again, cause considerable wear and tear, and reduce the useful span of these books.
  • This the invention achieves by providing a device for the storing on shelves, and the individual withdrawal therefrom, of books, comprising:
  • the device according to the invention is seen to consist of a flat, strip-like body 2 the width w of which (Fig. 2) equals or is smaller than, the collective thickness of the leaves 4 of the book indicated by broken lines. It is also seen that the bottom surface 6 of the device rests on the shelf 8 and that the book is not supported in the conventional way on the lower edges of the cardboard covers 10, but on its leaves 4 which rest on the top surface 12 of the device. This is made possible by the fact that the height h of the body 2 is larger than the height s of the already mentioned "squares", i.e., the amount by which the covers 10 project beyond the leaves of the book. The total length of the body 2 is seen to exceed the overall width B of the book.
  • the body 2 is provided with a nose-like member 14 projecting in a direction perpendicular with respect to the top surface 12.
  • the inner face 16 of the member 14 is advantageously curved to fit the concavity of the fore edge 18 of the book.
  • this recess is required to accommodate the bottom edge 22 of the cover back 24 as well as the tailband (not shown). Obviously, the depth of this recess must be not less than s, the height of the "squares".
  • the end of the body 2 constitutes a handling portion 26. Pulling at this portion in direction of arrow A will apply the nose-like member 14 against the fore edge 18 of the book and pull it out from the row of adjacent books. While the book is removed, the device advantageously remains on the shelf 8. After use, the book is again placed on the device and returned to the row.
  • the device according to the invention can be made of any suitable material such as wood or plastic.
  • the handling portion 26 can of course be given any convenient shape, also other than shown.
  • Fig. 3 shows another embodiment of the device. Accordingly, the body 2 is of a stepped cross section, only the upper part being of the width w. The depth of the step is obviously in excess of s, the height of the "squares". Such a design might provide added stability.
