Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a separating device for bound printing units with a nose protruding from the book level.
  • separators are generally known.
  • separators in the form of tabs that can be glued to book pages are known, which the user subsequently attaches to certain pages of a book that, for example, have to be used frequently, on one of the outer edges of the book page by gluing.
  • These separators make it possible, for example, to open a certain page of a book quickly.
  • this can be done, for example, with a single hand by grasping the book with the fingers of one hand and placing the thumb on the nose. By tilting the book accordingly, it can then be achieved that all pages of a book are opened up to the nose, while the pages behind remain closed.
  • Such separators in the form of lugs have the disadvantage that they can be damaged when the lugs are subsequently attached to the book page. Even when using the separator In the form described above, the book pages, which usually consist of very thin paper, can be damaged, since when the book is opened, considerable force is exerted on the paper on the book page by the held nose, particularly if the pulling action of the nose is exerted at an offset angle.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate this disadvantage and to provide a separating device for bound printing units which is easy to use, in which there is no risk that the sensitive book pages can be damaged and which can subsequently be used in bound printing units without great difficulty, how books, catalogs, computer manuals and the like can be attached.
  • the separating device consists of a separate separating sheet which can be glued into the printing unit.
  • the separating sheet can consist of a stable paper, a plastic film or similar flexible material which can be glued into the space between two pages of the book without difficulty.
  • a nose is attached, which is dimensioned so that it protrudes from the book format.
  • the separating sheet can be provided with adhesive material on the inner edge of the book opposite the nose, so that it can be glued to the inside of the book with the book pages. In this way, the separator is captively attached to the book.
  • the inner edge of the separating sheet opposite the nose is wider than the width of the nose itself, so that the forces occurring when holding the nose and turning the book can also be distributed evenly over the book's inner edge by friction on the adjacent book pages without them that the separator sheet is torn out or damaged.
  • the separating sheet can have one or more folds which run parallel to the inside edge of the book and make it easier to turn the separating sheet.
  • projecting insertion lugs can be provided, which can be pushed up to the cover on the inside of the book and can facilitate the insertion and gluing of the separating sheet into a book.
  • the adhesive material layers provided on the separating sheet can preferably be provided in the form of adhesive strips, for example with removable covers, in order to avoid premature setting of the adhesive material.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of an inventive
  • FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the separating sheet in a non-rectangular shape, the size of which can be varied by means of a perforation,
  • Figure 3 shows a cross section through a book with inserted
  • FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a book with inserted separating sheets
  • Figure 5 is a representation of the phases of turning the page.
  • FIG. 1 shows a separating sheet 10 in a rectangular shape, on the long outer edge 20 of which a nose 12 with the width b is attached.
  • This nose can be made in one piece together with the separating sheet 10 from the same material.
  • insert lugs 30 are provided which extend in a direction opposite the lug 12 to the inside of the book 22 (FIG. 3). They facilitate the deep insertion of the divider up to the back of the book and are also used for adjustment.
  • Adhesive material 16 is provided on the inner edge 14 of the separating sheet 10, and adhesive material can optionally also be provided on the insertion lugs 30.
  • the separating sheet 10 is fastened in the book with this adhesive material.
  • Fal ze 26 serve to make it easier to turn the separating page, especially if it is glued to the left side of the book and this is also printed.
  • the fig. 2 shows a similar embodiment as FIG. 1, which only differs in shape from the rectangular shape of the separating sheet of FIG. 1 by omitting the outer corners opposite the book cover.
  • this separator sheet has markings 26, e.g. in the form of marking lines or perforations along which the separating sheet can be changed by cutting, breaking or tearing off in such a way that it can be adapted to different book formats.
  • the fig. 3 shows a book with two inserted separating sheets 10, 10 ', the lugs 12 being of different dimensions.
  • the lugs 12 are made of a reinforced material with respect to the material of the separating sheets 10, 10 '.
  • Fig. 4 shows separator sheets with differently designed lugs 12, it being possible that a separator sheet also has several lugs 12.
  • FIG. 5 shows the phases occurring when turning a book, which is provided with the separating device according to the invention.
  • phase 1 of turning the page which is caused, for example, by moving a nose protruding from the right edge of the image with the left thumb upwards
  • the forces occurring on the nose or on the leaves of the book are greatest because the blades still to be turned have to be moved against gravity and inertia.
  • These forces are largely due to friction between the separator and the sides to be turned added so that the load on the adhesive device and also on the book page used as the adhesive base or its binding edge is low.
  • phase 2 the tensile load on the adhesive point or the carrying side is low due to the short lever between the dead weight of the side to be turned and the counterforce due to the separating device.
  • phase 3 the pages to be turned over fall largely due to their own weight in the direction of the arrow, while the pages not to be turned back fall back into their original position due to their own weight in the opposite direction of the arrows in phases 1 and 2.
