Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a book or volume having a composite structure, constituted by the coupling of a plurality of independent sections, which are perfectly bound and easily detachable from the volume, so as to allow to transport and use only those of interest, without having to also carry the weight of the sections that are not required for immediate purposes.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to provide a book or volume having a composite structure, which is capable of obviating the drawbacks of current bulky and heavy books related to any subject, without reducing in any way the completeness of the content provided by current volumes and without affecting the logical sequence required for the subjects, arguments, or illustrations presented in said current volumes.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a volume that is heavy and bulky and is conceived so that it can be referenced by separate subjects or by preset historical and literary periods without having to carry and handle the entire volume related to the same subjects, with obvious advantages as regards ease in reference and reduction in weight and bulk.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a volume having a composite structure that can be produced with conventional methods and therefore practically with the same production and sales costs.
  • a book or volume having a composite structure and large dimensions and weight, related to various subjects, both scientific and literary, topical, or the like which is constituted, according to the present invention, by a plurality of sections composed of sheets, each related to specifically defined subjects or to part thereof, said sections being enclosed and bound in a conventional manner in a continuous cover made of cardboard or the like, each one of said sections being divided from the contiguous one by means of two covers or leaves that are glued to the inner wall of the spine or back of the volume and to the first and last sheet of the section, so as to obtain a plurality of sections complete with covers and with the corresponding spine monolithically with the spine of the external continuous cover, the individual sections that constitute the volume being then easily separable from each other by cutting or tearing along the continuous ribbing line that retains the covers or leaves of two contiguous sections.
  • each section after separation from the contiguous ones, is enclosed between two normal and opposite covers that are mutually joined by a portion of the spine of the continuous cover that encloses the volume.
  • the book or volume generally designated by the reference numeral 1 and executed according to the invention, has the appearance shown in figure 1 in closed position; i.e., it is constituted by a large number of sheets enclosed within a continuous cover made of cardboard or the like forming its front cover 2 (where the printing related to the content, the author, the publisher, and the like is located), the rear cover 2a, and a back or spine 3.
  • the pack of sheets retained between the two opposite covers 2-2a is anchored to the back or spine 3 by gluing at the edge, whereas a portion 2b and 2c, substantially a strip of said two opposite outer covers 2-2a, is glued to the first sheet and to the last sheet of the pack of sheets; the purpose of the two portions 2b-2c glued to the first and last sheets of the pack will be explained hereinafter.
  • the pack of sheets is also divided into various groups of sheets that contain the same or an equal number of sheets, as designated by 4, 5, 6, and 7 in figures 1 and 2.
  • Said groups of sheets 4, 5, 6, and 7 constitute the individual sections that can contain different subjects, clearly defined historical periods, distinct technological and scientific fields, such as for example electrical technology, electronics, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and other literary subjects divided by historical period or the like.
  • Each individual section is formed by two covers or leaves, which are inserted between the various groups of sheets during the binding of the volume, and by a back or spine, which is part of said spine 3 of the outer continuous cover.
  • the group of sheets 6 that constitutes an intermediate section is enclosed between two leaves or covers 6a-6b that are anchored to the first and last sheets of the group by gluing a longitudinal strip 6c-6d; likewise, the section of sheets 5 is enclosed between two covers 5a and 5b, whereas the first group of sheets 4 is enclosed between the outer cover 2a of the volume and an internal leaf 4a; the group of sheets 7 is instead enclosed between the back cover 2 and an inner cover 7a.
  • Each section 4-5-6 and 7 is therefore fully formed and bound between the respective opposite covers and the outer spine 3 of the volume.
  • Said sections are furthermore completely formed even if one separates them from the contiguous ones.
  • the book in order to separate -- for example -- the first two sections 4-5 from the contiguous ones 6 and 7, the book is opened as shown in figure 2, then the spine 3 of the volume is split, by means of a transverse cut 8 performed along the line 8a that connects the two sections 5 and 6, until two volumes, each constituted by two sections, are obtained.
  • Each section after cutting, has its own spine 3a-3b, etcetera, that is constituted by a portion of the spine 3 of the volume that remains stably anchored, along its edge, to the corresponding group of sheets, since all the groups of sheets have been glued to the spine 3 during the binding of the volume.
  • each section has the appearance of a small book that can be easily separated from the volume and therefore has a limited weight and bulk; at the same time, it can be used in relation to the text written in the selected section or in multiple sections, when required.
