Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a large-sized luxury album.

Recently, large, high-end albums with a dignified appearance that have decorative metal fittings etc. on the cover have been developed.

However, since the cover of this type of album is quite heavy, if the cover is accidentally opened while being carried around, there is a risk that the cover will fall or the first cover attachment part may be damaged.

In addition, this type of album is sometimes sold or stored in flat wooden boxes, etc., but in such cases,
The disadvantage is that if the cover opens freely, it is difficult to take it out of the box.

In other words, this kind of wooden box etc. is usually made to the minimum size that follows the outer shape of the album, so in order to take out the album from such a box, it is necessary to grasp the edge of the top cover of the album and lift it up. However, if the top cover opens freely, the entire album cannot be lifted upwards.
There is an inconvenience that it cannot be pulled out smoothly from the box.

In addition, in the case of Western-style books, there is also the disadvantage that as the number of attached photographs increases, the thickness of the mount increases, causing the edges of both covers to fan out and become unsightly.

An object of the present invention is to provide a large-sized high-quality album that has a simple structure and can eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, numeral 1 is a large luxury album according to the present invention.

This album 1 is made up of a plurality of mounts 4 inserted between an upper cover 2 and a lower cover 3.

The upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3 have a covering material 2b made of synthetic leather or the like on the entire outer surface and inner edge of the core plates 2a and 3a, respectively.

3b and a paper backing material 2c on the inner surface.
, 3c are attached to the outer corners of these upper and lower covers 2.3, and corner decorative fittings 5 are attached to the outer edges of the opening and closing sides of the upper cover 2. Edge decoration metal fittings 6.
...is attached.

These decorative fittings 5..., 6... can be attached to the covers 2, 3 by positioning protrusions 7 on the mounting surfaces of the decorative fittings 5..., 6... and protruding from the covers 2, 3. Positioning holes 8 are drilled at predetermined locations on the outer surface of the decorative metal fittings 5...
, 6... are attached to the outer surfaces of the covers 2, 3 by fitting their positioning protrusions 7 into the positioning holes 8, and between the decorative fittings 5..., 6... and the covers 2, 3. The decorative metal fittings 5..., 6... are fixed by an interposed adhesive.

Then, an engaging portion 9 having a wavy uneven engaging surface 9a is formed at the tip of each of the edge decorative metal fittings 6, and the lower cover 3
A proximal end portion of an abbreviated engagement fitting 11 is connected and fixed to the distal end portion 10a of the band 10, the proximal end of which is fixed to the top end portion of the band 10. Metal fittings 6
A hook portion 11a having a wavy uneven engagement surface 11a that can be engaged with the uneven engagement surface 9a of the engagement portion 9 is formed, and this hook portion 11a is attached to the engagement portion 9 on one cover 2, 3 and the mount 4 are used to engage and disengage using elastic deformation.

The band 10 is a flexible band made of leather, and its base end is attached to the lower cover 3 as follows.

In other words, the lower cover 3 is attached before the backing material 3c is attached.
A pair of slins N2 pass through the opening and closing side edges of the
12 is drilled in the outer surface of the lower cover 3.
One end of the band 10 is fixed to a portion located between 2 and 12 via a nail 13.

These nails 13, 13 are driven into the core plate 3a through the facing material 3b.

At the sealed portion of this band 10, there are leg pieces 14a on both sides.
.

A U-shaped stopper 14 having 14a is attached to both leg pieces 1.
4a, 14a are attached by passing through the slits 12.12, and the fasteners 14 are fixed by bending the slit-piercing ends of the leg pieces 14a14a on the inner surface side of the lower cover 3. .

The bent portions of both leg pieces 14a, 14a of this fastener 140 are covered with a backing material 3c adhered thereon.

Further, the connection between the distal end portion 10a of the band 10 and the engaging metal fitting 11 is such that the flat plate portion which is the base end of the engaging metal fitting 11 has a first degree, a second degree and a second degree. Third slits 15, 16, and 17 are sequentially bored parallel to each other at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the band 10, starting from the proximal end. Band 10 inserted through third slit 17
The distal end portion of the band is further folded back and inserted into the second slit 16 and the first slit 15 in sequence, so that the band 10 and the engaging metal fitting 11 are connected by the frictional force generated at the band overlap portion when tension is applied. It has become.

Thus, by changing the amount of insertion of the band 10 into the slits 15, 16, 17, it is possible to change and adjust the connecting position of the engagement fitting 11 to the band 10, that is, adjust the length of the band 10. .

With such a configuration, the hook portion 11a of the engaging metal fitting 11 connected to the band 10 attached to the lower cover 3 is connected to the engaging portion 9 of the edge decorative metal fitting 6 attached to the upper cover 2.
By engaging them using elastic deformation in the thickness direction, these picture covers 2.degree. 3 can be held so that they cannot be opened.

Therefore, when carrying Album 1, cover 2,
3 can be handled with peace of mind without any inconvenience such as the album opening, and even if the album 1 is stored in the wooden box or the like mentioned above, the edge of the top cover 2 can be held with one's hand. There is a convenience in that the entire album 1 can be easily taken out from the wooden box by simply lifting it up.

By the way, for the large luxury album 1, the covers 2 and 3 are
Since the album 1 is considered to be quite heavy, if the engagement force between the engaging portion 9 and the hook portion 11a is weak, the two parts may be damaged when carrying the album 1 or removing it from a wooden box, etc. The engagement of 9°11a is likely to be released unexpectedly.

However, in the present invention, both parts 9. l
The two parts 9a and 9a are engaged with each other by the wavy uneven engagement surfaces 9a and lla', which is different from the engagement between two planes.
, 11a is strong, the above-mentioned inconveniences do not occur at all, and it is possible to effectively ensure that the picture covers 2 and 3 are kept closed.

It goes without saying that the two parts 9 and 11a can be easily engaged and disengaged by simply compressing the album 1 in the thickness direction.

In this way, the operation for holding the album 1 so that it cannot be opened and the operation for releasing this holding can be performed by attaching the hook part 11a of the engagement fitting 11 to the engagement part 9 of the edge decorative metal fitting 6. This can be done extremely easily by simply engaging and disengaging by utilizing elastic deformation in the thickness direction, and the structure is also extremely simple, which is advantageous in terms of manufacturing economy.

In addition, since the opening and closing ends of the two covers 2 and 3 can be drawn together at a required distance using the band 10, as the number of photos pasted increases, the opening and closing ends of these two covers spread out in a fan shape to improve the appearance. This can also prevent inconveniences such as damage.

Moreover, since the length of the band 10 is adjustable,
For example, when no photos are pasted, the band is too loose and the engagement tool 11 easily comes off the engagement part 9; on the other hand, when many photos are pasted, the band is too tight and the engagement tool 11 is easily removed from the engagement part 9. This can eliminate the inconvenience that it becomes difficult to engage.

The length of the band 10 can be adjusted by an extremely simple operation of changing the amount of insertion of the tip end portion 10a of the band 10 into the slits 15 to 17 of the engagement fitting 11. Since no tools such as a screwdriver are required for this purpose, the length of the band 10 can be conveniently adjusted immediately when the need arises.

Of course, the structure for fixing the base end of the band to the cover is not limited to the one described above. It is also conceivable that the proximal end of the band is adhered to the core plate with an adhesive.

However, if the base end of the band 10 is sealed to the surface of the cover 3 as described above, it is much stronger than the case of adhesion, and moreover, the sealing part can be caulked to the cover 3. If it is covered with the stopper 14, the nails 13,1
3 can be prevented from being removed, and the appearance as a high-class album is also very good.

Further, the band 10 and the stopper 14 are attached to the covering material 3b.
After completely adhering the bands to the core plate 3a, they can be attached to the outer surface of the core plate one after another. This makes manufacturing easier compared to the case where the base end of the band is inserted between the facing material and the core plate and then glued. is much easier.
