【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a bookmark lid according to an embodiment in a closed state, FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 shows a state in which the bookmark is sandwiched between books. FIG. 4 is a perspective view shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 4 is a plan view with the lid portion of the bookmark opened.

A bookmark 10 according to the present embodiment has a water absorbing body that is replaceably housed in a recess body of the bookmarker main body 2 and a saucer section 1 (see FIGS. 2 and 4) integrally formed on the head. It is composed of a body 3 and a lid portion 4 for opening and closing the opening of the saucer portion 1. The bookmarker main body 2 and the lid portion 4 are injection-molded with a synthetic resin such as polyethylene or polyamide, and the saucer portion 1 and the lid portion 4 have an appropriate outer shape such as a heart shape, an ellipse shape, and a hexagon shape. The lid portion 4 is rotatably supported on the saucer portion 1 via a pin 5 (see FIG. 2).

As shown in FIG. 2, the water absorbent body 3 is made of a composite material of a sponge 6 and a woven cloth 7 made of synthetic fiber, and the woven cloth 7 side is arranged on the lid 4 side. There is. The water absorbent body 3 absorbs and retains an appropriate amount of water or water mixed with a small amount of perfume. The water absorbing body 3 is designed so as not to be easily dropped from the tray portion 1 by an appropriate locking means.

Normally, the bookmark 10 is sandwiched between the pages of the book 11 that have been read as shown in FIG. 3 with the lid 4 closed as shown in FIG. When opening this book 11 and flipping the pages, rotate the lid part 4 with your fingertips as shown in FIG. 4, lightly apply a part of the finger pad to the water absorbent body 3 to apply a small amount of water on the finger pad. Attach it and turn the page with your finger.

In practice, since the water absorbing body 3 is relatively small, excess water does not adhere to the finger pad. When the page is not turned, the lid 4 is closed to prevent water from drying.

As described above, if a fragrance such as perfume is mixed with water, or if the fragrance is carried on the inner surfaces of the saucer section 1 and the lid section 4, a good fragrance is provided each time the lid section 4 is opened. This can increase the added value of the product.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of an essential part showing another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the above-mentioned embodiments in that a plate-shaped stamp 8 is detachably attached to the back side of the tray 1. By providing the seal 8 integrally with the bookmark 10 in this way, for example, when you purchase a book, you can imprint your name on the book, or you can use it as a simple seal. It is convenient.

If a mesh-like woven cloth 7 made of synthetic fibers or a porous film is arranged on the surface of the water absorbent body 3 as in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is possible to prevent water from adhering to the finger pad. I have no idea.

In the above-described embodiment, the lid 4 is rotatably supported by the pan 1 via the pin 5, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the pan and the lid are integrally formed. Thus, the lid portion can be rotatably supported on the tray portion via the thin hinge portion.

Although the bookmark body 2 and the lid portion 4 are formed of synthetic resin in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the bookmark body 2 and the lid portion 4 may be formed of a thin metal plate. You can also
