Description

  The present invention relates to a book cover for protecting a cover portion of a book, and more particularly to a book cover that can be adapted to books of various sizes and can be quickly and easily mounted.

  The book binding consists of a front cover, back cover, and back cover, but there are a number of standards for the front cover and back cover, such as the library size, 46 size, and A5 size, and the sizes differ slightly depending on the publisher. ing. Also, since the width of the spine varies depending on the thickness of the book, the length in the horizontal direction of the binding differs even with the same standard.

Therefore, a conventional book cover that protects the book binding from dirt and scratches is made according to the standard size of the book. For example, the one shown in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.
This book cover is provided with a cover insertion pocket for inserting one cover on one end of the back of the main sheet of the cover, and the other cover is inserted in the middle of the back of the main sheet. An insertion band is provided, and the other end of the main body sheet is provided with a bending surplus part for folding the part beyond the cover part to the back side of the cover and inserting and locking it to the cover insertion band part. It is designed to support books with different thicknesses.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-228707 proposes that the vertical size can be adjusted according to the standard of the book and the horizontal direction can be adjusted even if the thickness of the book changes.
This book cover is a book cover whose size can be freely changed by folding the main body forming the book cover in the vertical and horizontal directions according to the size of the book and applying a magnet or hook-and-loop fastener to the folded portion.
