Description

Book page bookmark with support information or advertising incorporated.

The present invention also aims at provide a new bookmark model in books and in others bound formats, presents the particularity of incorporating a support in which it is possible to insert advertising or alternatively information related to the book itself, to the preferred pages, to place that the book occupies in the library, or other data that the reader or book owner wants to insert in the holder, such as photographs or color combinations. It's about a bookmark device for books, consisting of a ribbon reading point attached to an element that, acting as a clamp, allows the device to be attached to the covers or to the back of the book, also serving, at the same time, as support for an additive ornamental, decorative or advertising that allows you to customize the set.

It also provides a simple assembly and possibility of using several ribbons of different colors to bookmark different pages of the book, so that several readers can use the marker or the same reader can mark their favorite pages.

It is about offering the same benefits of a usual bookmark of the tape type, although of constitution different from all known, but also with the ability to display advertising well from the bookstore where it was purchased or from any other advertising source or for other purposes already described.

The clamps that fix it to the back of the book are they adapt to the normal structure of the books, although the explicit configuration may vary while retaining the essential features of the invention.

Mounting from a single structure of simple tweezers is once mounted sufficiently firm to perform the functions that are intended, being able to perform the assembly of the same by the user without the slightest difficulty.

So far different systems are known of marking sheets on books and other bookbinding, almost all they developed according to the marking of leaves, not in as for the user to also use the marker for previously outlined purposes.

The normal structure of bookmarks it is usually a tape attached inside the back of the book or a metal or plastic clamp that is held on the page marked.

This is how document ES 223.431 describes a bookmark for books consisting of a sheet of flexible plastic that has one leg at one end horizontal provided with a hook that is inserted in a page of the book. Instead, document ES 290.664 refers to a marker for books featuring a marker head and a part of split connection by cutting into at least three tabs that are separate from each other thanks to the elasticity of the material and consequently they can be placed tightly on the edge of a book page. Also document ES 1 063 938 U resolves the same system using a laminar body of any size and appropriate configuration, preferably of cardboard or the like, affected by a determining die of a tongue elastically deformable that with the own laminar body configures a fixing clip on any one of the sheets of the book. He Document ES 2 130 439 T3 10 describes a device for clamping and bookmarking pages, to keep the book open while reading, which comprises an element in shape of curved type clamp, of elastic material, whose arms opposites embrace both the cover and the pages of the book already read.

Document ES 1 039 689 U 6 refers to a bookmark perfected for book pages, characterized by be constituted by a fixing element attached to a rod flexible topped at its other end by a marker flap page, so that the fixing element is fixed by a adhesive foil or similar on the inside back cover of a book, next to one of its interior vertices, or when binding the book, between said inner back cover and its lining, or between the spine of the leaves of the book and its lining, arranging the flap Page marker next to one of the outer vertices of the successive sheets of the book, aligned with the aforementioned fixing plate, so that said marker flap automatically yields when passing each sheet of the book pointing to the next one, marking at all times The page that is being read.

Finally the document ES 1 034 509 U 4 describes a protective book cover with built-in bookmark, of those constituted from a laminar body manufactured in any material deemed appropriate, preferably a plastic material, which has a central area intended to be attached to the cover and back cover of a book, presenting two lateral areas, intended to be attached on the back of the cover and back cover acting as flaps, providing optionally of creasing lines that facilitate the folding of the flaps on the back of the cover and back cover, characterized in that in the flap intended to be attached on the back of the back cover of the book that protects the lining or cover there is a cross section that penetrates inside the lining up to the folding line, finishing off inside in a circular configuration, optionally presenting the outer end of the area delimited by the cut a asaeteada configuration or angular.

From the foregoing it follows that in The state of the art there are a variety of reading markers which can be grouped into two categories: Those that are independent of the book and consequently easily transportable from a copy to another, but uncomfortable when handling them, because they get lost with ease or fade within the book, thus canceling, in part, its functionality And those others that form a fixed part of the book, these being the most comfortable to handle, but you can't transport from one copy to another. Here we should also include those separator models that being an independent element from the book, once placed on it, can no longer be separated of that particular copy.

However, none of these markers for Books presents the constitution of the object of the invention proposal, nor do they incorporate the window that supports Insert personalized information or advertising on it.

The association of this type of bookmarks to an insertion mode of a plurality of data ranging from the book's library code to data from personal or corporate nature, to brief comments, points, notes, small photographs, ornaments and, as has been said, to advertising, either from the bookstore where it was purchased, from the editorial or any other company or entity.

All these features integrated in your functionality that is not achieved by devices usually known in the state of the art, they are achieved with the device of the invention.

The device of this invention, by its particular structure, advantageously combines the comfort of use of the fixed elements with the ease of exchange of independent copies.

Its constitution in the form of a clamp has a thickness and dimensions such that guarantee the following Aspects: The right grip on the covers, when it comes to softcover bound books, well on the spine, when try hard-bound bound copies, so that no it comes off easily when you pull the tape that acts as a point of reading and that is attached to the top of the clamp. That one Once placed, do not deform the book, for which the thickness of the clamp should be as thin as possible without reducing the grip that it must provide.

The invention is constituted from a tape linked page bookmark by appropriate binding means at the head of a flexible material clamp, consisting of a curved piece whose ends approximate to hold on top of the back of a book, entering the inner sheet by the separation between the spine and the sewn of the book, that is to say by the hinge for the opening of the book, and the outer sheet of the clamp remaining outside the spine. This outer sheet has a wide square surface covered by a transparent plastic bag or sheet opened by above, constituting an informative or advertising support capable of lodge inside information about the book, its code from library, to notes, drawings, colors, ornamentation, photographs Or to advertising. The outer sheet of the clamp has, in its internal side, at the end, of a non-slip element for improve grip

In a different embodiment the marker incorporates several tapes instead of one.

Another embodiment has the same constitution already described, but in which the information or advertising support is It has a circular, oval or polygonal shape.

Alternatively, the bookmark described presents the informative or advertising support without coverage plastic, so that you can write by hand about your surface.

The application of the assembly thus assembled is framing in the book binding auxiliary industry and in particular of the markers.

Reference is made below to some figures that show a specific non-exclusive way of realizing bookmark pages with support for information or built-in advertising
