AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing bookmarks lack the ability to simultaneously mark multiple locations in books without confusion and do not provide a convenient method to bundle bookmarks when only one location is needed.

Method used

A magnetic bookmark with a U-shaped design, featuring a hole at one end, a varying length knob piece at the other end, and a fixed piece extending from the hole, allowing for simultaneous clamping of multiple pages and easy bundling when needed.

Benefits of technology

Enables convenient marking of multiple locations in books by clamping multiple pages simultaneously and allows for easy bundling of bookmarks when only one location is needed, improving usability and organization.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bookmark made of a material that has magnetic properties. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there have been bookmarks that can be inserted into a single place in a book or the like. Additionally, bookmarks were available made of paper, metal and plastic. There is also a bookmark that is characterized by its L-shape (see Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Mito 3028758 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] This caused the following problems: (a) In order to mark multiple locations in a book or the like at the same time in order to open those locations, it was necessary to use multiple distinct bookmarks or disposable sticky notes. (b) In the case where multiple bookmarks were used to mark multiple locations in a book or the like in order to open those locations simultaneously, there was no way to bundle the multiple bookmarks together if the user subsequently wanted to mark only one location. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] Materials such as magnetic sheets that have magnetic properties are used for bookmarks. The bookmark body is formed in a roughly U-shape, with a hole at one end, a knob piece of varying length at the remaining end, and a fixing piece extending from the end with the hole. Alternatively, a bookmark body formed in a roughly U-shape is provided with a hole at one end and a tab of a different shape at the remaining end. The bookmark has the above features. Effect of the Invention

[0006] It is extremely convenient because it can pinch multiple places on books etc. at the same time, and when pinching only one place, it can be bundled. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 4 is a plan view of claim 2 of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is another plan view of claim 1 of the present invention. [Diagram 3] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention bundled together with a string-like material. [Figure 4] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. (i) The bookmark (1) is made of a magnetic sheet or similar material and shaped into an approximately U-shape. A hole (2) is provided at one end of the bookmark (1) body, a knob piece (3) of varying length is provided at the remaining end, and a fixed piece (4) is provided extending from the end with the hole (2). (b) A bookmark made of a magnetic sheet or similar material and shaped into an approximately U-shape (1), the bookmark body having a hole (2) at one end and a tab (3) of altered shape at the remaining end. The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration. When using the present invention, the bookmarks (1) are inserted into a book or the like (5) at each of the locations where one wishes to make a mark. When one of the multiple places in the book etc. (5) where one wants to mark a spot is to be opened, the user pinches the tab (3) and opens the book etc. When the number of places in a book etc. (5) where marks are to be made is reduced, the bookmark (1) inserted in the place where the marks are no longer needed is bound to the bookmark (1) inserted in another place by magnetic force. For ease of use and management, a string-like object (6) may be threaded through the hole (2). [Explanation of symbols]
