JP6816991B2 - Bookmark for books - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a bookmark that is inserted between pages of a book. In particular, it relates to a bookmark that is preferably used for a book having a spine.

Currently, bookmarks are used as markers for reading pages in books. As a general-purpose bookmark, a string that is adhesively fixed above the spine of a book at the bookbinding stage is known. However, in recent years, in order to save the cost of adhesively fixing the string above the spine, the number of books without the string is increasing.
Therefore, as a substitute for the string, a rectangular bookmark made by thinly processing paper, cloth, resin or metal is widely used. Except for souvenirs and folk craft bookmarks, most of these rectangular bookmarks are distributed free of charge when you purchase a book at a bookstore. Such bookmarks are manufactured for the introduction of new books and for advertising of companies, and have no value or premium feeling as gifts.
In addition, such a rectangular bookmark has a problem of falling out of a book. Moreover, in the case of a bookmark made of resin or metal, there is a problem that the paper constituting the book is damaged. In addition, rectangular bookmarks are often used by removing them from books while reading, and there is a risk of loss.

Therefore, various bookmarks have been invented in view of the problems of conventional strings and rectangular bookmarks. For example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 disclose clip-shaped bookmarks. Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a bookmark with a string that can be easily attached to and detached from a book.
All of the above bookmarks have a premium feel and can be used as gifts, and solve some of the problems of conventional strings and rectangular bookmarks.
However, there is a concern that the clip-shaped bookmark may leave an uneven clip mark on the paper constituting the book after it is attached. In addition, while these bookmarks are firmly sandwiched between books, there is also a problem that they are difficult to remove when removing the bookmarks from the books.
Furthermore, in the above bookmark, a string is sandwiched between the pages of the book, and when resuming reading, the desired page is immediately opened from the string protruding from the bottom of the book. There is also the problem that the effect is completely lost.

A solid having constant strength, rigidity, elasticity, toughness, ease of processing, and availability, and having a fixed form, can be widely used.
In particular, from the viewpoint of strength, rigidity, elasticity, workability, and availability, aluminum-aluminum alloy, stainless steel, copper, and brass (particularly brass) are preferable.

The book bookmark according to the present invention has a spine member that comes into contact with the spine cover of a book by surface contact or a plurality of line contacts. Here, the surface contact may mean that the planar shape of the back member is rectangular, square, triangular, trapezoidal, polygonal, circular, semicircular, elliptical or the like other than the above. The shape is not particularly limited as long as it adheres to the spine of the book.
Further, the plurality of line contacts in the present invention represent, for example, a state in which each side is in line contact when the linear stainless steel is bent and formed in a triangular shape. That is, in the case of a triangular shape, it means that there are a plurality of (three places) line contacts. For example, when it is bent into a quadrangular shape, it means that there are a plurality of (4 points) line contacts. From the viewpoint of stable adhesion to the spine of a book, it is preferable that one line is bent into a rectangle, a square, a triangle, a trapezoid, a circle, a semicircle, an ellipse, or the like.

The book bookmark according to the present invention has a plate-shaped or linear bookmark member inserted between pages of a book. The bookmark member used in the present invention is preferably formed in a rectangular shape, a square shape, a triangular shape, a trapezoidal shape, a polygonal shape other than the above, a circular shape, a semicircular shape, an elliptical shape, or the like. Since such a bookmark member is a member sandwiched between pages of a book, it is preferably formed with a considerable thinness. For example, from the viewpoint of not unnaturally expanding the book when the book is closed, a material of 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm is preferable. Further, from the viewpoint of the strength of the bookmark for books and the viewpoint of not damaging the pages such as irregularities, a material of 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm is preferable.
The bookmark for a book according to the present invention has a top surface member having a function of connecting the back member and the bookmark member by a beam above the book. That is, the back member, the bookmarker member, and the upper surface member in the present invention are integrally and continuously formed, and the upper surface member is located between the back member and the bookmarker member and has a function of connecting to each other. Further, when the book is placed upright on the bookshelf, in the book bookmark according to the present invention, the back member and the bookmark member arranged between the pages are arranged at positions where they are vertically lowered, but the upper surface member is arranged in the horizontal direction.
