Definitions
- the invention relates to a stiffening means for a paper ⁇ back book or a similar bound document with soft cover.
- DE-PS No. 25 28 151 discloses a protective cover for books in form of a single unit, a separating line being provided between the front and the back portion of the cover.
- the separating line has the form of a pre ⁇ ferably V-shaped groove and is situated closely adjacent the fastening means.
- US-PS No. 3,572,767 discloses an adjustable protective transparent cover comprising two sections each having a pocket for receiving one end page of a book. One section extends laterally beyond the open edge of the pocket to provide a connecting panel extending around the spine of the book and provided to be fastened to the other section. When used for a paperback book thin stiffening boards are inserted ad acent the inner surfaces of the end pages re ⁇ ceived within the pockets.
- GB-PS No. 1 371 149 discloses a protective cover for preserving and enhancing the appearance of paper-covered books or documents by enclosing their end pages between covers, said protective cover comprising two pockets connected by a transparent spine portion and each pocket containing a removable stiffener in form of a card.
- the object of the invention is to provide a stiffening means for a paperback book or a similar document with soft cover, providing such a book with the necessary stiffness and standability to allow it to stand on its own on a conventional shelf, although said book is sub ⁇ jected to frequent useage and thus tends to wear rapidly.
- the object of the invention is accomplished by a stiffening means characterised in that the stiffening means has substantially parallel, blunt, non-projecting edges ex ⁇ tending at least during use at right angles to the spine of a book.
- the means for fastening the board com ⁇ prises an envelope with a pocket for receiving the corre ⁇ sponding part of the end page, the board being a stiff inset freely sliding inside the envelope.
- the stiff inset is joined with an end page by being inserted in the envelope simultaneous with said end page.
- the envelope can comprise a flap to overlap the spine of the paperback book resulting in an improved stiffening of the spine.
- an adhesive can be applied to the flap to glue the latter to the spine of the paper ⁇ back, thus stiffening the spine of soft paper or card- board even if said spine is already broken.
- the adhesive can be covered by a tear-off strip so that a permanent or pressure-sensitive adhesive can be used, which does not require wetting or application prior to using the stiffening means, but only a tearing off of the strip .
- the stiffening means can be manufactured by folding a web of film material around a board of cardboard forming the inset, and bending and fastening the side flaps around a part of the sides of the film material on the opposite side of the inset of cardboard seen with respect to the pocket of the stiffening means.
- the inset and the film material need neither be of compatible materials nor to be fastened to each other.
- the web of film material can be substantially cross-shaped with four arms or flaps rendering the outer surface of the stiffening means completely smooth, which further facilitates the handling of the book with attached stiffening means .
- Fig. 1 illustrates a paperback book as well as two stiffening means
- Fig. 2 is a view of the side of a stiffening means to be placed inside a paperback book
- Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the stiffening means of Fig. 2 along the line II-II.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a paperback book 1 with a front 2 and a back 3 end page usually of a material only slightly thicker than the material of the other pages.
- An example of such a paperback book is a telephone book.
- the stiffening means 4 is provided with a flap 6 with an ad ⁇ hesive 7, cf. Fig. 2, said adhesive being covered by a tear-off strip 8.
- the width of the adhesive ranges from a a few millimeters to the entire width of the flap 6.
- Fig. 2 illustrates a stiffening means in form of an envelope seen from the side to be placed inside a paper ⁇ back book.
- the stiffening means is made of a film material 9 surrounding a thin board 5 in form of one or more insets. At least one side of the stiffening means has a flap 6 of such a size allowing it to extend around the spine of the paperback book to be stiffened. Both the flap 6 and the rest of the film material 9 can be made of transparent plastics so that the information printed on the end pages remains visible.
- the inset 5 optionally carrying informa ⁇ tion differing from what is printed on the end pages can be inserted when inserting the paperback book into the envelope.
- the two flaps 6 on each stiffening means - one for the front end page and one for the back end page - can optionally hold a marking to the stiffened spine when said flaps overlap each other.
- a marking can, for example, indicate ownership of the paperback book, optionally in form of a telephone number and/or an ex ⁇ tension.
- the film material 9 is provided with two further flaps 10, 11 projecting from the two sides at right angles to the side carrying the flap 6.
- the flaps 10, 11 are bent around the edge of the inset 5 and fastened to a flap 12, thus forming the pocket of the envelope.
- the fastening is performed in a manner known per se, for instance by glueing, welding or the like.
- Fig. 3 is a sectional view through a stiffening means illustrating the envelope- like form.
- the end of the web of film material 9 opposite the flap 6 is provided with the flap 12 bent over the inset 5. Bending the flap 12 over the inset 5 reduces its slideability inside the envelope 4, although the inset 5 is not fastened to the envelope. Moreover the inset 5 is held against the end page of the paperback book 1.
- the inset 5 can be made of cardboard or similar material of sufficient stiffness, such as corrugated plastics or corrugated cardboard.
- the inset 5 is made of transparent plastics. It may optionally be provided with perforations with the proviso that the strength of the inset is not considerably weakened.
- the stiffening means 4 is attached to the paperback book by folding out one end page, for instance the front end page 2, and inserting it in the opening between the flaps 6 and 12, so that.the inset 5 is positioned such that it faces the inner surface of the end page 2.
- the paperback book is then closed, the tear-off strip 8 removed and the flap 6 is folded around the spine and fastened thereto.
- the other end page of the book i.e. in this case the back end page 3
- the tear-off strip 8 removed and the flap 6 of the second stiffening means is folded over the first flap and fastened thereto.
