[0032] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0033] Figure 1 The structure of the printed matter 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 2A and Figure 2B The process of switching the support portion 14 from the folded state to the unfolded state in the printed matter 1 is shown below. Figures 1-2B The printed material 1 will be described.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2AAs shown, printed product 1 includes inner pages 11, a cover 12, a connecting portion 13, and a supporting portion 14. The printed product 1 may be a book, and the inner pages 11 represent a structure formed by arranging and binding multiple book pages or signatures in a predetermined order. These pages may be printed with text or images, or may be blank. The printed product 1 in this embodiment does not limit the binding method of the inner pages 11. In different embodiments, the inner pages 11 may be bound using methods such as perfect binding, thread binding, and saddle stitching.

[0035] like Figure 2A As shown, the cover 12 is disposed outside the inner pages 11, and at least a portion of the cover can rotate about a first direction relative to the inner pages 11. In some embodiments, the cover 12 can be connected to the inner pages 11 at the position of the spine, and the cover 12 can rotate relative to the inner pages 11 to open or close the printed product 1.

[0036] Specifically, the cover 12 includes a front cover 121 and a back cover 122. The front cover 121 and the back cover 122 are located on the front and back sides of the inner pages 11, respectively, and are rotatable relative to the inner pages 11. In some embodiments, the front cover 121 and the back cover 122 are slightly larger than the inner pages 11 and completely cover and protect the inner pages 11. In various embodiments, the cover 12 can be hardcover or plaincover. For example, the cover 12 can be made of one or more of gray board, cardboard, leather, or plastic.

[0037] The connecting portion 13 is provided between the cover 12 and the inner page 11, and the connecting portion 13 can be turned around the second direction relative to the cover 12. The second direction is not parallel to the first direction. Figure 2A As shown by the arrow in , the cover 12 is flipped relative to the inner page 11 around a first direction, the first direction is parallel to the spine, and the connecting portion 13 can be flipped relative to the cover 12 around a second direction, the second direction is approximately perpendicular to the first direction.

[0038] In some embodiments, the second direction is inclined (not perpendicular) to the first direction. After the connecting portion 13 is flipped relative to the cover 12 around the second direction, the connecting portion 13 can be further flipped to the side of the cover 12 away from the inner page 11. For example, the connecting portion 13 is made of a flexible material, or a pivotable structure is also provided in the connecting portion 13.

[0039] The support portion 14 can be switched between a folded state and an unfolded state. To facilitate the display of the structure of the support portion 14, Figure 2A The support portion 14 shown in FIG is in a folded state when the cover 12 is opened. Figure 1 The support portion 14 shown in FIG is in an expanded configuration. Figure 2B The process of the support portion 14 transforming from the folded state to the unfolded state is shown.

[0040] The support portion 14 is rotatably or detachably connected to the connecting portion 13. In the folded configuration, the support portion 14 is located between the cover 12 and the inner pages 11. When the printed material 1 is fully closed, the cover 12 and the inner pages 11 are parallel and fastened to the inner pages 11, and the support portion 14 is folded into a sheet and located between the cover 12 and the inner pages 11. Figure 2A The structure of the support portion 14 is shown after the cover 12 is opened. When the support portion 14 is in a folded state, the connecting portion 13 and the support portion 14 are both located between the cover 12 and the inner page 11. Preferably, the connecting portion 13 is attached to the cover 12.

[0041] When the support portion 14 switches to the expanded configuration, the support portion 14 is detachably connected to the cover 12 and supported below the cover 12. The support portion 14 is fixed by the cover 12 to maintain the expanded configuration, and the support portion 14 can be supported below the cover 12, so that the inner pages 11 are tilted at a preset angle for easier reading by the user.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the printed material 1 is unopened, the connecting portion 13 and the supporting portion 14 are positioned between the cover 12 and the inner pages 11, minimizing the overall dimensions of the printed material 1. Preferably, the supporting portion 14 is substantially planar in the folded configuration, further reducing the size and allowing the printed material 1 to be roughly the same shape as a conventional book. When the printed material 1 is opened, the connecting portion 13 rotates relative to the cover 12 in a second direction, simultaneously driving the supporting portion 14 to rotate to the side of the cover 12 facing away from the inner pages 11. The supporting portion 14 then switches to an unfolded configuration and is secured to the cover 12, remaining in the unfolded configuration and supporting the printed material 1 below the cover 12. The connecting portion 13 and the supporting portion 14 can form an integral unit with the cover 12 and the inner pages 11, without interfering with the normal use of the printed material 1. When support is needed for reading, the supporting portion 14 switches to an unfolded configuration, rotating with the connecting portion 13 to the outside of the cover 12 (facing away from the inner pages 11) and unfolding to support the printed material 1 below the cover 12, thereby tilting the inner pages 11 at a predetermined angle for presentation to the user. This embodiment has a simple structure and does not affect the structural dimensions and normal use of the printed matter 1 , thereby improving the user experience of the printed matter 1 .

[0043] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting portion 13 is rotatably connected to the edge of the cover 12, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The first direction is the direction in which the cover 12 opens relative to the inner pages 11 and is parallel to the spine. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and is a direction parallel to the top or bottom of the book, where the top of the book refers to the side located at the top when the printed material 1 is opened and placed vertically, and the bottom of the book refers to the side located at the bottom when the printed material 1 is opened and placed vertically. In other words, the connecting portion 13 is connected to the side of the cover 12 that is parallel to the top or bottom of the book, and can be flipped around the side of the cover 12 that is parallel to the top or bottom of the book to the outside of the cover 12.

[0044] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 13 comprises, for example, cardboard or paper, and the connecting portion 13 is processed into a rectangle, and one side of the rectangle is connected to one side of the cover 12. Figure 2A As shown in FIG, the connecting portion 13 can be turned around the side relative to the cover 12 in the direction of the curved arrow.

[0045] like Figure 2A As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support portion 14 includes a flip axis 141 and an unfolding portion 142. In this embodiment, the flip axis 141 is connected to the connecting portion 13. In some embodiments, the support portion 14 is made of folded paper material, glued to the connecting portion 13, and the flip axis 141 is formed using a flexible paper material. In other embodiments, the support portion 14 and the connecting portion 13 can be connected by leather or hinges, and the leather or hinges serve as the flip axis 141. Preferably, the support portion 14 is rotatably connected relative to the connecting portion 13, and the rotation axis of the support portion 14 is the flip axis 141. The support portion 14 and the connecting portion 13 are integrally formed, and an indentation line is processed between the support portion 14 and the connecting portion 13 as the flip axis 141.

[0046] The unfolding portion 142 can be unfolded or closed around the turning axis 141. When the support portion 14 is in the folded state, Figure 2A As shown, the unfolding portion 142 is closed. In different embodiments of the present invention, the unfolding portion 142 may include a rod or plate rotatable around the flip axis 141, and the rod or plate is closed when it moves closer to each other around the flip axis 141, and unfolded when it moves away from each other.

[0047] When the support portion 14 is unfolded, multiple support points or support lines that are non-parallel to the cover 12 are formed. When the support portion 14 is placed on a bearing surface, the inner pages 11 and the cover 12 can be supported to be tilted for user reading.

[0048] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support portion 14 further includes a locking portion 143, which is disposed on the unfolding portion 142. The locking portion 143 is used to keep the unfolding portion 142 unfolded or closed. In different embodiments, the locking portion 143 can cooperate with the flip shaft 141, for example, to lock the rotation angle of the flip shaft 141 to keep the unfolding portion 142 unfolded or closed. Alternatively, the locking portion 143 and the unfolding portion 142 cooperate with each other, for example, the locking portion 143 includes a connecting rod disposed between the unfolding portion 142. When the unfolding portion 142 is unfolded, the connecting rod is used to support the unfolding portion 142 so that the unfolding portion 142 maintains the unfolded angle.

[0049] like Figure 2BAs shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the locking portion 143 is detachably connected to the cover 12. When the unfolding portion 142 is unfolded, the locking portion 143 is connected to the cover 12 so that the position of the unfolding portion 142 relative to the cover 12 remains fixed and the unfolding portion 142 remains unfolded.

[0050] Specifically, the locking portion 143 includes a snap. When the unfolding portion 142 is unfolded, the locking portion 143 snaps the two sides of the unfolded portion 142 onto the cover 12, keeping the unfolded portion 142 unfolded. When the printed material 1 needs to be closed, the locking portion 143 is separated from the cover 12, the unfolding portion 142 is closed, and the support portion 14 switches to a folded configuration and is stored together with the connecting portion 13 between the cover 12 and the inner page 11. In other embodiments, the locking portion 143 includes Velcro or a magnetic element, and the locking portion 143 can be adhesively connected or magnetically connected to the cover 12.

[0051] like Figure 2B As shown, the unfolding portion 142 includes two supporting surfaces 144 and a honeycomb structure 145. Both supporting surfaces 144 are rotatably connected to the flip shaft 141. Furthermore, the two supporting surfaces 144 are sheet-shaped or plate-shaped, one side of which is connected to the flip shaft 141 and the other side is a free end that rotates relative to the flip shaft 141.

[0052] like Figure 2B As shown, the honeycomb structure 145 is disposed between two support surfaces 144. When the two support surfaces 144 are flipped in opposite directions around the flip axis 141, the honeycomb structure 145 unfolds. The honeycomb structure 145 is formed by gluing together portions of multiple sheets of paper. When the honeycomb structure 145 is closed, the multiple sheets of paper adhere to each other in a planar shape. When the honeycomb structure 145 is unfolded, the glued portions of the multiple sheets of paper remain connected, while the unglued portions open outward, forming a diamond-shaped or hexagonal cavity. The processing cost of the honeycomb structure 145 is low, and it occupies less space when closed. At the same time, the honeycomb structure 145 is made of paper, which is similar to the material of the inner page 11, making it easy to process and conducive to recycling.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support portion 14 includes two locking portions 143, which are respectively provided on two support surfaces 144. The cover 12 includes a front cover 121 and a back cover 122. When the support portion 14 switches to the unfolded state, the two locking portions 143 are detachably connected to the front cover 121 and the back cover 122, respectively, driving the two support surfaces 144 to flip in opposite directions around the flip axis 141 (e.g., Figure 2B As shown by the curved arrows in FIG, the honeycomb structures 145 inside the two supporting surfaces 144 are unfolded.

[0054] The edge of the honeycomb structure 145, when unfolded, is coplanar with the end of the cover 12 near the bottom of the book, and is in contact with the support surface. When the support portion 14 is switched to the unfolded configuration, the edge of the honeycomb structure 145 and the end of the cover 12 near the bottom of the book (the spine) are supported on the support surface, which reduces the pressure acting on the edge of the honeycomb structure 145 and improves the stability of the printed material 1 when supported for reading.

[0055] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the support portion 14 is in a folded form, the flip axis 141 is parallel to the first direction, and the unfolding portion 142 is closed and attached between the connecting portion 13 and the cover 12, or the unfolding portion 142 is attached between the connecting portion 13 and the inner page 11, further reducing the influence of the connecting portion 13 and the support portion 14 on the external dimensions of the printed matter 1.

[0056] Preferably, when the support portion 14 is in the folded configuration, the turning axis 141 is parallel to the first direction and located near the spine. When the support portion 14 is in the unfolded configuration, the turning axis 141 is aligned with the midline of the spine. In this embodiment, the turning axis 141 is located near the midline of the cover 12 and inner pages 11, which facilitates stable force application when the printed material 1 is supported for reading.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the support portion 14 is in the folded configuration, the two support surfaces 144 align with the edges of the honeycomb structure 145. In some embodiments, the honeycomb structure 145 is made of thinner paper, which helps reduce the thickness of the honeycomb structure 145 when closed. However, this also reduces the structural strength of the honeycomb structure 145. In this embodiment, the support surfaces 144 are aligned with the edges of the honeycomb structure 145, allowing the support surfaces 144 to protect the honeycomb structure 145.

[0058] like Figure 2A As shown, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the supporting portion 14 is in the folded form, the connecting portion 13 is attached to the side of the cover 12 facing the inner page 11. In the process of switching the supporting portion 14 from the folded form to the unfolded form, the connecting portion 13 is roughly flipped 360° around the second direction, from being attached to the side of the cover 12 facing the inner page 11 to the side of the cover 12 facing away from the inner page 11. At the same time, the flip axis 141 connecting the connecting portion 13 and the supporting portion 14 is flipped with the connecting portion 13 to the side of the cover 12 facing away from the inner page 11, and the two supporting surfaces 144 are respectively attached to the front cover 121 and the back cover 122.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
