[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[The purpose of the device] [Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to bookmarkers.

[0002]

[Background of device]

 Conventionally, bookmarks are used to indicate a page to be read between books. Of these, apart from those that are difficult to bind during bookbinding, a sticker is provided at one end of the string and attached to the spine of the book, and the other end is sandwiched on any paper surface of the book. There was something to do. However, in the case where one end of the bookmarker string is fixed to the book using such a seal, the seal is easily peeled off, and with an extremely strong seal, it sticks to the book and is beautiful. It cannot be peeled off, and even if it peels off, it may break the surface of the book on which the sticker is attached, making it unsightly.

[0003]

[Technical items we tried to develop]

 The present invention takes such a background into consideration, and has developed a novel bookmarker that can be repeatedly used, is inexpensive to manufacture, and can be easily attached to and detached from a book during use. I tried.

[0004]

[Constitution of device] [Means for achieving the purpose]

 That is, the first invention of the bookmarker of the present application is characterized in that one end of the cord has an insertion ring portion into which the other end can be inserted.

In addition to the above requirements, the second invention of the bookmarker of the present application is characterized in that the insertion ring portion is formed in an annular shape by folding one end of one string and connecting it. . These ideas are intended to achieve the above object.

[0006]

[Function of the device]

 When attaching and using the bookmarker of the present invention to a book, first open an appropriate page of the book and place the bookmarker with the insertion ring portion facing up. Then turn the end of the string around the spine of the book and bring it to the insertion ring. At this time, with the upper end of the insertion ring facing downward, pass the string near the connection part of the insertion ring through the insertion ring to make a loop. Fix it. After attaching the bookmarks to the book as described above, like the usual bookmarks, put a string between the pages of the book you want to read. If the insertion ring is equipped with multiple strings, multiple pages can be marked. On the other hand, when removing the bookmark from the book, if you pull the cord on the back side of the book, the cord will come off the insertion ring and the bookmark can be easily removed.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. Reference numeral 1 is a bookmarker to which the present invention is applied, and has an insertion ring portion 2 into which one end of one string 3 can be inserted with a string tip portion 4 at the other end. The bookmarker 1 is actually formed of a single thread string, and one end of the thread string is folded back at an appropriate position and connected to form an insertion ring portion 2. Of course, in addition to tying, other means such as an adhesive tape or an adhesive may be used to connect to the string 3, or the insertion ring portion 2 and the string 3 may be configured separately. That is, the bookmarker 1 can be constructed by connecting the string 3 to the insertion ring portion 2 formed by forming a ring with the string 3 or the like (see FIG. 2A). When the cord 3 is attached to the insertion ring portion 2, it is of course possible to attach a plurality of cords 3 so as to be sandwiched between a plurality of pages (see FIG. 2 (b)). Further, the insertion ring portion 2 may be formed of a rubber band, leather, metal, plastic or the like as shown in FIG. 3 (a) in addition to a string formed of thread, or may be formed of metal, plastic or the like. In this case, the shape may be a triangular shape as shown in FIG. 3 (b) or a quadrangular shape as shown in FIG. 3 (c) as long as it has a hole through which the string 3 can be easily inserted, or an appropriate shape. Can be selected. As with the insertion ring portion 2, the string 3 can be made of any suitable material such as leather, vinyl, etc., in addition to the one formed of thread.

Hereinafter, a usage example of the bookmarker 1 to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG. First, the book B is opened on an appropriate page, and the bookmarker 1 is placed therein with the insertion ring portion 2 facing upward (see FIG. 4A). Next, the string end 4 is wound around the spine B1 of the book B and brought up to the insertion ring 2 (see FIG. 4 (b)). Then, the upper end of the insertion ring portion 2 is directed downward, the string 3 near the insertion ring part 2 is passed through the insertion ring part 2 to form a loop, and the string tip 4 is passed there (see FIG. 4 (c)). Then, the string tip portion 4 is pulled to fix the insertion portion 2 to the upper portion of the book B, and the bookmarker 1 of the present invention is attached to the book B (see FIG. 4 (d)). At this time, the string end portion 4 may be simply passed through the insertion ring portion 2, but in this case, the bookmarker 1 is fixed to the book B, and the fixing portion is loosened from the book B at some time. Since the bookmarker 1 may come off, the above-described mounting method is adopted. After the bookmark 1 is attached to the book B as described above, the string 3 is sandwiched between the pages of the book B that are to be read, as in the usual bookmark 1. When the insertion ring portion 2 is provided with a plurality of strings 3, a plurality of pages can be marked. On the other hand, when removing the bookmarker 1 from the book B, if the cord 3 on the back B1 side of the book B is pulled, the cord 3 comes off the insertion ring portion 2 and the bookmarker 2 can be easily removed.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it has the following effects. That is, the bookmarker 1 of the present invention is not attached to the book B by using an adhesive sticker or the like, but is wound around the book B for use. Moreover, unlike the sticker, the book B will not stick to the sticker and break. Also, it does not peel off cleanly, and it does not stick to Book B. Furthermore, attachment and detachment of the bookmarker 1 to and from the book B is simple, and can be repeatedly used for a plurality of books B. Furthermore, when the bookmarker 1 of the present invention is constructed from one string, the manufacturing cost is extremely low.
