Definitions

  • Album such as a photo album, comprising sheets and a back element composed of a U-shaped inner element, the bottom of which is mounted on an outer finishing element and cover sheets connected to said back element by means of hinges, pin shaped members being present in said inner back element for receiving said sheets which to that end are provided with recesses along one edge of a sheet, said sheets being provided with a crease situated at a certain distance from said edge such that said recesses are positioned in a pivoting portion.
  • the object of the invention is to remove this disadvantage and to that end the album is characterized in, that said recesses in the sheets are slot-shaped such that the length of said slots is directed perpendicular to said edge of a sheet, said pin-shaped members being shaped as straight pins, whereby the length of the slots is sufficient to permit the lower sheet edges to slide upwards stepwise when the album is opened, as seen in figure 4 .
  • the distance between the edge of a sheet and the crease of this sheet is between 20 and 45 mm, preferably approximately 23 mm, and that it depends on the number of said sheets.
  • Albums having replaceable sheets are mostly kept together of bound by book screws.
  • the area across which a sheet will fold is necessarily kept wide, since the sheets lie across one another. This is achieved by e.g. producing a number of creases at one side of the sheets next to each other, or, when employing a so-called binding strip, producing a wide hinge.
  • Binding sheets by means of book screws is popular because the sheets can be fastened in the album without any skill and special tools and the sheets may later be replaced in a simple way. Therefore, the system is also called a loose-leafed binding system.
  • a disadvantage of this way of binding is that illustrations extending across two pages, are interrupted in the middle by several creases or hinges or one very wide hinge. Lately, this is experienced as a drawback or a great disadvantage, because sticking photos in albums is increasingly replaced by printed pages or sheets of photographic paper onto which an image is projected.
  • Figure 1 shows a view of a known sheet 1 before mounting it in an inner back element 2 ( figure 2 ) said sheet being provided with several creases 3.
  • the edge 4 of the sheet 1 has round holes 5 for mounting onto the straight pin-shaped members 6.
  • Figure 2 shows that, owing to the many creases, the flipped-over sheets 1 do not show a sharp turnover across the edge of the inner back element. This is the state of the art.
  • FIG 3 a view of a sheet 8 according to the present invention is shown with one single crease 9.
  • Slots 11 having width B (approximately 6 mm, for example) according to a preferred embodiment of the invention are indicated in the edge portion 10 having width X (approximately 22 mm, for example).
  • the sheets 8 are mounted on the pin-shaped members 12 of the inner back element 13 (see fig. 4 ).
  • the back element After opening the album to the centremost page, the back element remains lying flat and the single crease causes the edge 10 to move slightly upwards through the slot 11 repeatedly, and in doing so, the lower edges 10 slide upwards stepwise, so that the bottom 24 occupies a natural position of an isosceles triangle having base angles ⁇ of approximately 45 degrees, in which the creases 9 will always abut one another.
  • said inner back element 13 tilts along, as illustrated in figures 6, and 7 , in which tilting is facilitated by the provision of hinges 20.
  • Figures 5A and 5B show a cross-section of the inner back element 13 with back finishing element 21 being connected to the rather schematically shown cover plates 23 through pivot lines 22.
  • Figures 6A through 6C show an inner back element 13 being connected to the cover plates 23 by a hinge 22.
  • Figure 7 illustrates a perspective view of an axially pivoting suspension of the inner back element 2, 13 which is a suitable way of tilting.
