Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention provides a method for storing hard-covered heavy books, especially books such as handbooks, reference books, encyclopedias, etc., in the book column1, and for extracting books one by one. Regarding tools.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Currently, the method of storing the above book and taking it out is as follows.
Durability of these books due to the following reasons.

This is extremely unsatisfactory from the standpoint of intactness and binding.

The cover of a book is cut so that it slightly protrudes from the edge of one text page. This protruding part is ``dust J (sq.
When a book called uare is placed upright on a shelf, that is, when the bottom edge of the cover is in contact with the top of the column, the entire contents of the book hang from the book's spine. The spine of a book therefore creates a tilting moment caused by a single piece of content, so that the book is deformed even when it is placed upright.

When a thick, heavy book such as an encyclopedia is placed upright, the pages sag due to their own weight, causing the book to become deformed. To prevent this, there is a method of first placing the book in a box and placing a curved piece of cardboard in the back of the box that touches the entire front edge of the book. However, with this, you have to take the book in and out of the box every time you use it, which is inconvenient.Also, one method is to turn the book upside down from time to time, but the text on the spine is difficult to read. There is a drawback.

Furthermore, when picking out a book from a row of books of the same size, 1
Place your index finger on the sky near the book fragment.

The thumb and middle finger are used to pull the book out, as it uses the rip and/or spine edge as a cue, usually resulting in a non-vertical tilt, which deforms the book. All this handling, repeated many times, causes considerable damage and shortens the useful life of these books.

The object of the invention is to improve the situation detailed above and to provide a device for protecting a book both when it is placed upright on a shelf and when it is removed from the shelf for use. .

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a substantially flat and elongated body having a top surface and a bottom surface, the width of the body being at most the same as the thickness of the water content, and the height of the body The height is higher than the height of the dust of the book, and one end of the main body has a protrusion that projects perpendicularly to the top surface, and the other end of the top surface has a protrusion that is at least as deep as the height of the dust. The object is achieved by providing a tool for shelving and extracting books one by one, comprising a recess extending across said top surface.

With respect to the drawings, the embodiments shown in the drawings are by way of example;
This is for illustrating the best embodiment of this invention.
This description is believed to be the most useful and easy to understand description of the essence of the invention.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The tool consists of a flat, elongated main body 2, with a top surface 12 and a bottom surface 6.
and the width of the main body 2 is equal to the content 4 of the book indicated by the dashed line.
The bottom surface 6 of the main body 2, which is the same as the overall thickness or narrower than ≠, rests on the shelf 8, and one book has a thick cover I as in the past.
Rather than being supported by the bottom edge of the O, a piece of the contents 4 rests on the top surface 12 of the tool. In other words, the height of 1 body 2 is hl
The dust height S mentioned above is longer than the length of the part of the thick cover 10 that protrudes from the book's contents.

The total length of the main body 2 is longer than the total length B of the book.

A protrusion 14 that protrudes perpendicularly to the upper surface 12 is provided at one end of the main body 2 . The inner surface 16 of the protrusion 14 is curved to match the front edge 18 of the book.

Near the other end of the main body 2 is a recess 2 extending across the top surface 12.
0 is set. This recess 20 is.

The bottom edge 22 of the spine 24 is inserted into the footband (a piece of cloth attached to the lower part of the spine of the book, not shown). Of course, the depth of this recess 20 must not be less than the dust height 3.

The other end of the main body 2 forms a handheld portion 26. When this part is pulled in the direction of arrow A, the protruding part 14 of the main body 2 will be removed from the front edge 1 of the book.
8, the book can be pulled out from the row of adjacent books. 0 Even if the book is pulled out, the tool remains on the shelf 8. After using 6 books, the book can be pulled out from the row of adjacent books again. and return it to the line.

Needless to say, a tool of a given size cannot fit every book, and the appropriate dimensions of its main coordinating variables, such as the width and position of the recess 20, as well as the width W and overall length of the body, will depend on the size of the given size. This reduces the number of different formats required for archives. The tool according to the invention is made of any suitable material such as wood or plastics.

The handle 26 may of course be of a more convenient shape than that shown.

Figure 3 shows another embodiment of the tool. 1 The main body 2 has a step, and the upper surface of the main body 2 has a width W, and the depth of the first step is less than the height S of the dust. is also large, such a configuration increases stability.

It will be clear to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown and that the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its true spirit or essential attributes. This example is therefore intended to be illustrative in all respects and not to limit the invention.

(Effects) (1) The tool of the present invention has a base of the book (the bottom of the inner page) and a surface that comes into contact with the front edge, and also has a bottom edge of the spine of the book and a recess into which the flower fragment is placed. So.

When a book is placed on this tool and placed on a bookshelf, it has the effect that the pages inside the book do not sag and the book does not become deformed.

(2) If you put the book on this tool and put it on the bookshelf.

When extracting the water from a row of books, the book can be extracted simply by pulling this tool. This eliminates the need to put one's fingers on the upper edge of the spine of a book, as in the past, so the book is not damaged.

(3) Providing a handle at one end of the tool (outside the recess into which the bottom edge of the spine is inserted) makes it easier to pull the tool from the bookshelf.
