Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved book structure.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide an improved book structure which is capable of combining small book dimensions with the possibility to contain large sheets therein.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a book structure in which the large sheets can be examined simply and rapidly by the user and at the same time are not particularly subject to deterioration.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a book structure which can be manufactured in a simple manner with an automated process and by resorting to per se known manufacturing plants and equipment.
  • a further object of the present invention is linked to the possibility to provide a book structure which is strong, so that it can also be used in pocket manuals or travel guides.
  • a still further object of the present invention is to provide an improved book structure which can be used even in very different fields.
  • an improved book structure characterized in that it comprises a plurality of bound pages enclosed by a cover, at least some of said pages being constituted by sheets which are wider than the cover in the reading direction, each one of said sheets having an outer part of the signature which is pasted to the directly preceding sheet and at least one vertical folding line which forms adjacent sheet sides and allows to fold onto each other sheet sides that constitute a part of the sheet that protrudes laterally from the area covered by the cover.
  • a book with improved structure is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and comprises a plurality of bound pages enclosed by a cover 11.
  • the book 10 has a predominantly vertical extension, so that it is narrow and tall.
  • Each page is constituted by a sheet 12 whose dimensions are larger than those of the cover 11 and in particular, with reference to the direction in which the book 10 is read, its height is the same as that of the cover 11, while its width is much greater.
  • each one of the sheets 12 can be divided, by means of three vertical folding lines 13, into a first portion 12a, a second portion 12b, a third portion 12c and a fourth portion 12d in the direction in which the book 10 is read.
  • Each one of portions 12a, 12b, 12c and 12d accordingly has the same vertical dimensions as the cover 11 and substantially the same width as the front 16 of the cover 11 and thus constitutes one sheet side of the book 10.
  • each sheet 12 between an upper side 14 and an opposite lower side 15 thereof.
  • each sheet 12 constitutes, with its lower side 15, the signature thereof and is pasted to a corresponding lower side 15 of the second portion 12b of the sheet 12 that directly precedes it.
  • the sheet 12 has a folded configuration, in which it is fully contained within the cover 11, and an unfolded configuration, in which its portions 12c and 12d also are frontally visible and constitute the part of the sheet that protrudes laterally from the cover 11.
  • the fourth portion 12d is folded onto the third portion 12c, which is in turn folded onto the second portion 12b, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
  • the user can completely unfold the sheet 12 at which the book 10 has been opened, taking care to expose first the second portion 12b and then the other portions 12c and 12d.
  • the reader has as many as four sheet sides available for reading (the lower side 15 of the first portion 12a and the upper sides 14 of the other portions 12b, 12c and 12d).
  • the reader can also unfold the directly preceding sheet 12, so that two more sheet sides are available (the lower sides 15 of the third and fourth portions 12c and 12d).
  • each sheet 12 substantially coincides with the lateral edge of the cover 11, but in other cases it can be moved inward so as to obtain narrower sheet sides.
  • the book 10 has two separate operating states: a folded one, in which the excess portions 12c and 12d overlap the second portion 12b so that they are all within the area covered by the cover 11, and an unfolded one, in which the sheet 12 can be read frontally on its entire surface, including the excess portions 12c and 12d.
  • the improved book structure indeed allows to provide books whose overall dimensions are very compact but in which it is possible to bind even pages constituted by large sheets.
  • the book according to the present invention is in fact capable of passing from the folded state to the unfolded state for use, during which reading can occur, and vice versa with a small number of simple operations.
  • the improved book structure presented with the present invention is particularly adapted for the provision of books for children and also for pocket manuals and/or travel guides.
  • the materials employed, so long as they are compatible with the contingent use, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
