Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of stationery technology, and in particular to a method and auxiliary tool for applying book cover film. Background Technology

[0002] Book cover film is a thin film material used to protect the cover of books. Applying a book cover film primarily protects the cover from wear, stains, and other damage, extending the book's lifespan, and also makes the book look cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0003] In the usual process of applying a book cover, the procedure is to first tear off the backing paper of the book cover. While tearing off the backing paper, a tool similar to a scraper is used to push the scraper along the surface of the book so that the book cover is gradually adhered to the cover.

[0004] However, during the process of tearing off the backing paper, it is difficult to ensure even force on both sides by manual operation, which can easily lead to uneven pulling on both sides. Once uneven pulling occurs, the book cover film will deform, resulting in wrinkles and air bubbles on the cover. This not only affects the appearance of the book but may also reduce the protective effect on the cover due to the book cover film not adhering tightly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and auxiliary tools for applying book wrapping film, so as to solve the technical problem that conventional book wrapping film application methods in the prior art are not easy to operate and easily lead to poor film application effect.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] On one hand, the present invention provides a method for applying book cover film, which is used to attach book cover film to the cover of a book using an auxiliary tool. The book cover film includes a film body and a release paper bonded to the film body. The method includes:

[0008] S1: Clamp the starting end of the book wrapping film onto the clamping structure of the auxiliary tool, so that the release paper of the book wrapping film faces away from the cover, while the film body faces the cover;

[0009] S2: Place the auxiliary tool holding the book cover on the cover and align the starting end of the book cover with the edge of the cover;

[0010] S3: Push the auxiliary tool along the surface of the cover. During the pushing process, the release paper is blocked by the auxiliary tool and gradually separates from the film. At the same time, the auxiliary tool flattens the separated film and adheres it to the cover.

[0011] Preferably, before step S1, the method further includes: laying the book cover film flat, peeling off the release paper in the middle area of ​​the book cover film to form a spine positioning area; aligning the spine of the book with the film in the spine positioning area for initial fixation.

[0012] Preferably, the clamping structure includes two clamping arms arranged facing each other, with an avoidance gap formed between the two clamping arms;

[0013] In step S1, clamping the starting end of the book wrapping film onto the clamping structure of the auxiliary tool includes:

[0014] S11: Clamp one side of the starting end of the book wrapping film onto one of the clamping arms;

[0015] S12: Move the auxiliary tool so that the other side of the starting end of the book wrapping film enters through the clearance notch and is clamped on another clamping arm.

[0016] Preferably, in step S3, the auxiliary tool is pushed continuously from the spine of the book towards the foreground in one continuous motion.

[0017] Preferably, the auxiliary tool is kept parallel to the spine of the book while it is being pushed.

[0018] Preferably, in step S3, when pushing the auxiliary tool, the auxiliary tool is kept at an angle to the cover, the angle being greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 45 degrees.

[0019] Preferably, after step S3, the method further includes: using the auxiliary tool to smooth the outer surface of the film that has been adhered to the cover.

[0020] Preferably, after one of the covers is attached, steps S1 to S3 are repeated to attach a film to the other cover of the book.

[0021] Preferably, the book wrapping film application method further includes step S4: folding the portion of the book wrapping film that extends beyond the edge of the cover and attaching it to the inside of the book.

[0022] On the other hand, the present invention provides an auxiliary tool for the above-mentioned book wrapping film application method, the auxiliary tool comprising:

[0023] A scraper having a flattening edge for contacting the cover;

[0024] A clamping structure is disposed on the scraper, and the clamping structure and the scraper together define a clamping space with an opening facing the scraped edge, the clamping space being used to clamp the book wrapping film.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0026] The book wrapping film application method proposed in this invention first uses a clamping structure to fix the starting end of the book wrapping film, ensuring the correct initial positional relationship between the film and the release paper. This allows the film to face directly towards the cover during application, while the release paper faces in the opposite direction, laying the foundation for subsequent steps. Next, an auxiliary tool is placed on the cover, aligning the starting end of the book wrapping film with the edge of the cover. Finally, the auxiliary tool is pushed along the cover surface to complete the application process. The auxiliary tool performs two functions simultaneously. Firstly, its clamping structure holds the book cover film, preventing the release paper from moving with the film when the tool is pushed. This forces the release paper to gradually and smoothly separate from the film as the tool moves, effectively avoiding uneven force on both sides caused by manually tearing the release paper, thus reducing deformation of the book cover film due to uneven pulling. Secondly, while peeling off the release paper, the auxiliary tool uses its own structure to smooth and tightly press the separated, unattached portion of the film onto the cover, ensuring a continuous and synchronous application process. This minimizes the chance of air being introduced between the film and the cover, reducing air bubbles and wrinkles. The user only needs to push the auxiliary tool in one direction to simultaneously peel off the release paper and attach the film, reducing operational difficulty, improving efficiency, and ensuring the book cover film covers the cover evenly and smoothly. The specific steps and working principle of this book cover film application method are explained in detail below. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] See Figure 1 The book cover film application method provided in this embodiment of the invention is used to attach the book cover film 200 to the cover 100 of a book using an auxiliary tool. The book cover film 200 includes a film body and a release paper that is bonded to the film body.

[0038] In this method, firstly, the starting end of the book wrapping film 200 is clamped onto the clamping structure 2 of the auxiliary tool, so that the release paper of the book wrapping film 200 faces away from the cover 100, while the film body faces the cover 100; then, the auxiliary tool holding the book wrapping film 200 is placed on the cover 100, and the starting end of the book wrapping film 200 is aligned with the edge of the cover 100; finally, the auxiliary tool is pushed along the surface of the cover 100. During the pushing process, the release paper is blocked by the auxiliary tool and gradually separates from the film body. At the same time, the auxiliary tool flattens the separated film body and adheres it to the cover 100.

[0039] The book wrapping film application method proposed in this invention firstly fixes the starting end of the book wrapping film 200 using the clamping structure 2, ensuring the correct initial positional relationship between the film and the release paper. This allows the film to face the cover 100 directly during application, while the release paper faces the opposite direction, laying the foundation for subsequent steps. Next, an auxiliary tool is placed on the cover 100, aligning the starting end of the book wrapping film 200 with the edge of the cover 100. Finally, the auxiliary tool is pushed along the surface of the cover 100 to complete the application process. The auxiliary tool performs two functions simultaneously. Firstly, it clamps the book cover film 200 using the clamping structure 2, preventing the release paper from moving with the film when the tool is pushed. This forces the release paper to gradually and smoothly separate from the film as the tool moves, effectively avoiding uneven force on both sides caused by manually tearing the release paper, thus reducing deformation of the book cover film 200 due to uneven pulling. Secondly, while peeling off the release paper, the auxiliary tool uses its own structure to smooth and tightly press the separated, unattached portion of the film onto the cover 100, ensuring a continuous and synchronous application process. This minimizes the chance of air being introduced between the film and the cover 100, reducing air bubbles and wrinkles. Throughout the application process, the user only needs to push the auxiliary tool in one direction to simultaneously peel off the release paper and attach the film, reducing operational difficulty, improving efficiency, and ensuring the book cover film 200 covers the cover 100 evenly and smoothly.

[0040] The specific steps and working principle of this book wrapping film application method are explained in detail below.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, a book pre-positioning step is performed before using the auxiliary tool to apply the film.

[0042] Specifically, first, the entire book wrapping film 200 is laid flat on the working surface, and the release paper in the middle area of ​​the book wrapping film 200 is partially peeled off, thus forming a spine positioning area that exposes the adhesive layer of the film. Then, the spine of the book to be wrapped is precisely aligned with and gently pressed onto the film in the spine positioning area. Through this operation, the book and the book wrapping film 200 are initially fixed in a relative position, effectively preventing relative displacement during subsequent operations and providing a convenient initial positioning basis for subsequent steps.

[0043] After the book is pre-positioned, the book enters the clamping stage using auxiliary tools. In a specific embodiment, the clamping structure 2 includes two opposing clamping arms, with a clamping space 21 formed within the clamping arms for clamping the book cover film 200.

[0044] A typical book cover 200 usually includes a main body covering the cover 100 and a folded edge for covering the book's edge, resulting in a gradual narrowing of the overall width of the book cover 200 from the book's edge towards the spine. If the clamping space 21 formed by the clamping arms is continuous and has a fixed width, it is difficult to directly fit onto the starting end of the book cover 200 with its folded edge. Therefore, an avoidance notch is formed between the two clamping arms to facilitate the clamping structure 2's gripping of the book cover 200.

[0045] Therefore, first, step S11 is performed: one side of the starting end of the book wrapping film 200, corresponding to the side of the cover 100 perpendicular to the spine, is clamped onto one of the clamping arms.

[0046] Subsequently, step S12 is performed: the auxiliary tool is translated in a direction parallel to the spine, so that the other side of the starting end of the book wrapping film 200, that is, the other side perpendicular to the spine, can be smoothly introduced through the clearance notch between the clamping arms and finally clamped on another clamping arm. This step-by-step clamping method can effectively reduce the interference caused by the width change of the book wrapping film 200 on the clamping operation, so as to ensure that the starting end of the book wrapping film 200 is clamped flat.

[0047] S2: Place the auxiliary tool holding the book wrapping film 200 on the cover 100 and align the starting end of the book wrapping film 200 with the edge of the cover 100.

[0048] S3: Push the auxiliary tool along the surface of the cover 100. During the pushing process, the release paper is blocked by the auxiliary tool and gradually separates from the film. At the same time, the auxiliary tool scrapes the separated film flat and adheres it to the cover 100.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, in step S3, the direction of pushing the auxiliary tool is a single, continuous push from the spine of the book towards the foreground. This unidirectional, continuous pushing method ensures that the release paper peeling process is continuous and uniform, avoiding film displacement or wrinkles that may be caused by reciprocating operations; at the same time, the film bonding is also completed in one go, effectively reducing seams or air bubbles that may be generated by multiple bonding operations.

[0050] Furthermore, during the process of pushing the auxiliary tool, it should always be kept parallel to the spine of the book. By maintaining the parallel relationship between the auxiliary tool and the spine, it can be ensured that the advancement trajectory of the auxiliary tool on the cover 100 is a straight line, so that the peeling front of the release paper and the adhesion front of the film always remain a straight line parallel to the spine. This avoids the skewed peeling of the release paper or uneven force on the film caused by the tilted advancement of the auxiliary tool, which is a key operational point for achieving flat and twist-free film adhesion.

[0051] In practice, users can maintain this parallel state by observing the relative positional relationship between the edge of the aid and the spine of the book.

[0052] In addition, in step S3, when pushing the auxiliary tool, the auxiliary tool and the cover 100 are kept at an angle, which is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 45 degrees. When the angle is close to 0 degrees, the contact area between the auxiliary tool and the cover 100 is larger, which is conducive to applying uniform and gentle pressure to the attached film and achieving initial air release and bonding. When the angle is appropriately increased, it helps to provide a smoother bonding angle for the film at the moment of peeling off the release paper. At the same time, the space formed by the front of the auxiliary tool and the unpeeled area makes it easier to observe the peeling state of the release paper.

[0053] Users can adjust the tool tilt angle within this range according to the actual conditions such as the characteristics of the film and the state of the adhesive to obtain the best peeling and bonding effect.

[0054] After completing the film application process in step S3, in order to further ensure the quality of the film application, eliminate any tiny air bubbles that may remain due to uneven pressure, or ensure that the folded edges are completely adhered, an auxiliary tool can be used to smooth the outer surface of the film that has been applied to the cover 100.

[0055] Specifically, the edge-smoothing or smoothing surface of the auxiliary tool can be used to apply uniform and continuous pressure to the surface of the attached film, especially the folded edge area of ​​the book or areas where there are suspected tiny air bubbles. This can further remove residual gas, strengthen the adhesion between the film and the cover 100, and ensure that the film and the cover 100 are completely and tightly bonded.

[0056] After attaching one cover 100 of the book, the same procedure can be followed to attach the film to the other cover 100. Specifically, steps S1 to S3 are repeated: First, the starting end of the book cover film 200 for the other cover 100 is clamped onto the clamping structure 2 of the auxiliary tool, ensuring that the film body of the book cover film 200 faces the cover 100 and the release paper faces away from the cover 100. Then, the auxiliary tool holding the book cover film 200 is placed on the cover 100, and the starting end of the book cover film 200 is aligned with the edge of the cover 100. Finally, the auxiliary tool is pushed along the surface of the cover 100. During the pushing process, the release paper is blocked by the auxiliary tool and gradually separates from the film body. At the same time, the auxiliary tool smooths out the separated film body and adheres it to the cover 100.

[0057] After the book cover film 200 is attached to both covers 100 of the book, or after the book cover film 200 is attached to one cover 100 of the book, in a preferred embodiment, step S4 is further included: folding the part of the book cover film 200 that extends beyond the edge of the cover 100 and attaching it to the inside of the book.

[0058] In practice, gently bend the folded edge that extends beyond the cover 100 boundary, turning it inward along the edge of the cover 100 until it adheres to the inside of the cover 100, i.e., the title page or the inner surface of the bottom of the cover 100. During this process, auxiliary tools can be used to apply pressure to the folded-in membrane, ensuring it adheres tightly to the paper inside the book.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] See Figure 2 The present invention also provides an auxiliary tool, which is applied to the book cover film application method provided in Embodiment 1. Specifically, the auxiliary tool includes a scraper 1 and a clamping structure 2. The scraper 1 has a flattened edge 11 for contacting the cover 100. The clamping structure 2 is disposed on the scraper 1, and the clamping structure 2 and the scraper 1 together define a clamping space 21 with an opening facing the flattened edge 11. The clamping space 21 is used to clamp the book cover film 200.

[0061] Through the coordinated operation of the scraper 1 and the clamping structure 2, the automatic separation of the release paper and the film, as well as the synchronous smoothing and bonding of the film, can be achieved during the process of pushing the scraper 1 along the cover 100. This effectively solves the problems of deformation, wrinkling, and air bubbles in the book cover film 200 caused by uneven force on both sides in traditional manual film application. Specifically, the clamping structure 2 is set on the scraper 1 and together with the scraper 1 forms a clamping space 21 with an opening facing the smoothing edge 11. The clamping structure 2 can stably clamp the book cover film 200, so that when the scraper 1 is pushed, the release paper in the clamping space 21 is blocked and cannot move with the film, forcing the release paper and the film to separate gradually and smoothly during the movement of the scraper 1. At the same time, the smoothing edge 11 of the scraper 1 moves close to the cover 100, continuously pressing and unfolding the separated film on the cover 100, ensuring that the film is smoothed and firmly bonded the moment it is separated from the release paper, avoiding wrinkles and air bubbles caused by manual pulling or misalignment.
