Description
- The present application is a continuation application and claims the benefit of priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 11/838,113, filed Aug. 13, 2007, which is a continuation of PCT/US2006/037161, filed Sep. 25, 2006, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/814,556, filed Jun. 19, 2006, the disclosures of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention is directed generally to interactive books and greeting cards and, more particularly, to an interactive book or greeting card with a detachable pop-up device integrated into the book.
- 2. Related Art
- Various attempts have been made to introduce children to reading and make the reading experience more stimulating and enjoyable, especially for young children. It has been found that illustrations play an important role in attracting and maintaining a child's interest in reading. Hence, children's story books have been provided with large, colorful pictures illustrating the subject matter or the background thereof. Pop-up books have been a very popular choice among parents and children because these pop-up books include hinged pop-up devices that provide surprise and amusement to the children. The ability to stimulate a child's imagination has been limited by currently available pop-up books as the pop-up devices have been physically integrated into book.
- The invention improves upon commercially available pop-up books or greeting cards by integrating a removable pop-up device, such as a toy, mask, or other amusement device, physically into the book or card, which opens and/or pops out of the book or card as the pages are turned. Once the device is popped open, it can be detached from the book or card and independently played with or interacted with by the child or user. In the case of a mask, it can be worn, and in the case of a toy or amusement device, it can be played with. The removable pop-up device of the invention may also be thematically related to the subject matter of the book or card. In this manner, the child's or user's imagination is further stimulated and enhanced beyond the normal reading experience. Once the removable device has been played with or interacted with, it may be re-attached to the book or card for future use/enjoyment as a pop-up feature. The invention may be implemented in a number of ways, and is not limited to books or cards, but may be used in various other implementations.
- According to one aspect of the invention, an interactive book has a mask thematically related to the subject of the interactive book. The book includes at least one foldable surface having at least one of textual and visual material thereon. The mask is detachably connected to the at least one foldable surface. The mask has a first compact position and a second expanded position, and is convertible between the first and second positions when the at least one foldable surface is folded or unfolded.
- The mask may pop up from the at least one foldable surface as the at least one foldable surface unfolds, and the at least one foldable surface may include two adjoining pages. The mask may be re-attachable to the at least one foldable surface. The book may further include an attachment device to detach and re-attach the mask to the at least one foldable surface repeatedly. The attachment device may be at least one of a hook-or-loop type fastener, snap, magnet, clip and sticky glue. The mask may include openings arranged corresponding to eyes of a wearer. The mask may include an elastic band connected to side portions of the mask. The mask may further include tabs arranged on the side portions of the mask, and the tabs may be connected to the elastic band and configured to be bent backward when the mask is placed on a wearer's face. The mask may be folded along folding lines to at least partially separate the mask from the at least one foldable surface as the at least one foldable surface unfolds.
- According to another aspect of the invention, an interactive greeting card has a mask thematically related to the subject of the interactive greeting card. The greeting card includes at least one foldable surface having at least one of textual and visual material thereon. The mask is detachably connected to the at least one foldable surface. The mask has a first compact position and a second expanded position, and is convertible between the first and second positions when the at least one foldable surface is folded or unfolded.
- The mask may pop up from the at least one foldable surface as the at least one foldable surface unfolds, and the at least one foldable surface may include two adjoining pages. The mask may be re-attachable to the at least one foldable surface. The greeting card may further include an attachment device to detach and re-attach the mask to the at least one foldable surface repeatedly. The attachment device may be at least one of a hook-or-loop type fastener, snap, magnet, clip and sticky glue. The mask may include openings arranged corresponding to eyes of a wearer. The mask may include an elastic band connected to side portions of the mask. The mask may further include tabs arranged on the side portions of the mask, and the tabs may be connected to the elastic band and configured to be bent backward when the mask is placed on a wearer's face. The mask may be folded along folding lines to at least partially separate the mask from the at least one foldable surface as the at least one foldable surface unfolds.
- According to yet another aspect of the invention, a method of using a consumer product having readable material and a pop-up device thematically related to the readable material includes positioning the consumer product such that the readable material may be seen, opening or exposing the pop-up device thematically related to the readable material, removing the pop-up device from the consumer product, playing with the pop-up device, and re-attaching the pop-up device to the consumer device for re-use.
- According to yet another aspect of the invention, an interactive book includes means for folding and unfolding a foldable surface and means for amusing a reader. The amusing means is configured to pop up or open upon unfolding the foldable surface. The amusing means comprises means for interacting with a reader, and the interacting means is configured to be detached from and reattached to the interactive book.
