Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a notebook, and more particularly to a notebook with a cover index. Background Technology

[0002] Most notebooks on the market typically include a cover and multiple inner pages. In daily life, people can use notebooks to write various notes, make plans, or keep memos.

[0003] However, for users who use the same style of notebooks, since the notebooks look almost identical, even if the purpose of the notebook is indicated on the cover, it is still difficult for users to quickly identify the purpose of the notebook when the notebooks are stacked together. They need to pick them up or flip through them one by one to find the notebook they need. This is obviously quite inconvenient for people who often need to write, record, or flip through, such as course notes, meeting contents, family notes, or personal schedules.

[0004] In view of this, existing notebooks are inconvenient to use and need to be improved and overcome. Therefore, the inventors of this case believe it is necessary to devise a notebook that is easy for users to identify. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this utility model is to provide a notebook with a cover index, comprising: a book body, including a front cover, a back cover, a plurality of inner pages disposed between the front cover and the back cover, and a binding unit connecting the front cover, the inner pages and the back cover at one end; and an index unit disposed on the front cover of the book body; wherein, a long slit is provided on the front cover on the side opposite to the binding unit for the index unit to be disposed.

[0006] Furthermore, the index unit includes a hollow slide guide embedded in the long slit, so that the index unit slides relative to the front cover along the extension direction of the long slit.

[0007] Furthermore, the index unit includes a hollow slide that passes through the long slit and surrounds the outer edge of the front cover, and a label disposed on the hollow slide that is exposed on the outside of the front cover.

[0008] Furthermore, the label can be alternatively placed on the hollow slide.

[0009] Furthermore, the hollow slide includes a first fold and a second fold and a third fold respectively disposed at opposite ends of the first fold. The third fold is connected to the second fold at one end relative to the first fold to form a channel surrounding the outer edge of the front cover.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the long slit is greater than the thickness of the first, second, and third folds so that it passes through the long slit.

[0011] Furthermore, the length of the long slit in the extending direction is greater than twice or more the length of the channel.

[0012] Furthermore, the long slit is positioned near the top edge of the front cover.

[0013] Furthermore, the direction of the long slit is parallel to the top edge of the cover.

[0014] Furthermore, the packaging element is a coil or clip that is disposed in a hole at one end of the front cover, the inner page, and the bottom cover.

[0015] Therefore, this invention provides an index unit on the cover of the notebook, which facilitates user searching and differentiation. Furthermore, the notebook cover has a long slit, allowing the index unit to slide and shift along the slit, thus improving the efficiency and convenience of finding the notebook through a sliding index misalignment.

Figure 1 (As shown).

[0041] The front cover 11 and the back cover 12 may be made of the same or different materials, colors, and thicknesses. The materials of the front cover 11 and the back cover 12 may include, but are not limited to, paper, plastic, wood, or other suitable materials. The materials, colors, thicknesses, or contents of the multiple inner pages 13 may be the same or different. The materials of the inner pages 13 may include, but are not limited to, wood pulp paper, recycled paper, or other types of paper suitable for writing. The inner pages 13 may be blank or printed with numbers, text, patterns, lines, grids, dot matrix, tables, or other content suitable for providing specific note-taking functions. This invention does not intend to limit the specific embodiments of the front cover 11, the back cover 12, and the inner pages 13; these are merely descriptions.

[0042] In one embodiment, the binding element 14 may be, for example but not limited to, flat stitching, saddle stitching, perfect binding, or other methods or means by which the front cover 11, the back cover 12, and the inner pages 13 are assembled. In this embodiment, the binding element 14 is a coil or clip disposed at one end of the hole H of the front cover 11, the inner pages 13, and the back cover 12. The coil or clip may be a fixed or detachable structure. The detachable structure allows the user to disassemble and assemble the book body 10 to supplement or replace new inner pages 13.

[0043] Next, please refer to the following: Figure 2 The image shown is a schematic diagram of the index unit of this utility model. Please refer to it for further details. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the index unit 20 is disposed on the front cover 11 of the book body 10. The front cover 11 has a long slit 111 on the side opposite to the binding unit 14 for the index unit 20 to be disposed. The hollow slide 21 is made of, but is not limited to, paper, plastic, or other materials that can be used as a basis. The color of the hollow slide 21 is not intended to be limited in this invention, but will be stated here first. The "other side of the binding unit 14" refers to, but is not limited to, the long slit 111 being disposed on the top side, bottom side, or side opposite to the binding unit 14 of the front cover 11. The extension direction D of the long slit 111 on the side of the binding unit 14 is parallel to the nearest edge of the front cover 11. In this embodiment, the long slit 111 is disposed near the top edge of the front cover 11, and the extension direction D of the long slit 111 is parallel to the top edge of the front cover 11. The top edge of the front cover 11 described in this utility model can be distinguished from the top edge of the book body 10 based on the title, text, numbers or logos.

[0044] The index unit 20 includes a hollow slide 21 that is guided and embedded in the long slit 111, allowing the index unit 20 to slide relative to the front cover 11 along the extension direction D of the long slit 111. In one embodiment, the index unit 20 includes the hollow slide 21 that passes through the long slit 111 and surrounds the outer edge of the front cover 11, and a label 22 disposed on the hollow slide 21 and exposed on the outside of the front cover 11. In one embodiment, the label 22 is alternatively disposed on the hollow slide 21, and alternative methods include, but are not limited to, sticking, inserting, or other forms or structures that can be implemented on the hollow slide 21. In practical use, users can use writing, stamping, or other methods to indicate the purpose category of the book body 10 on the label 22, which can be used in various courses, meetings, or any other occasions where recording or writing is required.

[0045] In this embodiment, the hollow sliding piece 21 includes a first fold 211 and a second fold 212 and a third fold 213 respectively disposed at opposite ends of the first fold 211. One end of the third fold 213 relative to the first fold 211 is connected to the second fold 212 to form a channel surrounding the outer edge of the cover 11. The space of this channel is slightly larger than the outer edge of the cover 11 surrounded by the hollow sliding piece 21, facilitating relative sliding displacement of the hollow sliding piece 21 on the outer edge of the cover 11. The second fold 212 and the third fold 213 are connected, for example but not limited to, by adhesive or insertion. The specific connection position between the folds depends on the shape and structure of the folds, and this invention does not impose any limitations on this; it will be described in advance.

[0046] Next, please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The above are schematic diagrams illustrating the use of the index unit of this utility model and the use of a notebook with a cover index. Please refer to them for further information. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the width W of the long slit 111 is greater than the thickness of the first flap 211, the second flap 212, and the third flap 213 of the hollow slide 21, so that the hollow slide 21 can pass through the long slit 111. The length L of the long slit 111 in the extending direction D is greater than twice (not shown in the figure) or more than twice the length of the channel formed by the hollow slide 21 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown), this allows the hollow slider 21 to slide along the long slit 111 at the top edge of the front cover 11. The hollow slider 21 contacts the outer surface of the front cover 11 with its inner surface. Based on surface friction, the hollow slider 21 can slide relative to the front cover 11 when the user applies force to it. In practical applications, such as... Figure 4 As shown, multiple notebooks 100 with cover indexes are stacked on top of each other. The hollow slider 21 is misaligned due to its sliding displacement, which makes it easier for the user to find the notebook 100 they need from the hollow slider 21 located at the top edge of each notebook 100. This saves time and steps of flipping through the contents of the notebooks 100 and improves the convenience of use.

[0047] In summary, this invention provides an index unit on the cover of the notebook, facilitating user search and differentiation. Furthermore, the notebook cover features a long slit, allowing the index unit to slide along the slit, thus improving the efficiency and convenience of finding the notebook through this sliding index misalignment.

[0048] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only one preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
