Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a booklet cover that is suitable for using multiple notebooks or diaries at the same time. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a cover that can store multiple notebooks in an interchangeable manner has been known that has a cover body with two or more sets of double-page spreads, and has insertion pockets on both inside sides of each of the double-page spreads for inserting the front and back covers of the notebooks (Patent Document 1). However, when multiple spreads are provided in this way, when the cover is closed with the planners stored inside, the overall thickness increases by the number of spreads, so the more planners there are, the worse the appearance becomes. Also, when the cover is open, it becomes unstable, making it difficult to write in the planner. Furthermore, the more pages there are, the higher the manufacturing costs become.

[0004] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a booklet cover that can safely and securely hold multiple notebooks and is not bulky. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention described in claim 1 is characterized in that the booklet cover comprises a locking bar having a rod portion and an upper end locking portion formed by bending the upper end of the rod portion downward, and a lower end locking portion formed by bending the lower end of the rod portion upward, and a cover having a front cover, a spine cover and a back cover, with cutouts formed at the upper and lower ends of the spine cover.

[0006] The invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that in the booklet cover described in claim 1, at least one of the front cover and the back cover is provided with a storage section.

[0007] The invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that in the booklet cover described in claim 1 or 2, a spine protective cover is attached to the spine.

[0008] The invention described in claim 4 is characterized in that in the booklet cover described in claim 1 or 2, the rod portion is provided with a spring portion that can expand and contract.

[0009] The invention described in claim 5 is characterized in that in the booklet cover described in claim 3, the rod portion is provided with a spring portion that can expand and contract. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to this invention, by using a locking bar as a fixing means, notebooks can be easily replaced or added. In addition, it looks good because it does not take up much space even when storing multiple notebooks, and it is functional because it is stable when writing in the notebooks. According to the invention of claim 3, by attaching a spine protection cover to the cover, the locking bar does not come into direct contact with the hand when holding the booklet cover, thereby preventing injury to the user's fingers. According to the invention of claim 4, the locking bar expands and contracts due to the action of a spring, making it easy for even people with poor dexterity to add or replace notebooks.

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. EXAMPLES

[0013] FIG. 1 is a front perspective view showing two notebooks stored in the booklet cover body, where the reference numeral 1 is the booklet cover, 2 is the cover, 3 is a locking bar, and 6 is a type of notebook (saddle-stitched booklet) in which the paper and the cover are both fastened together with a stapler or the like, with the cover 2 being made of flexible leather and the locking bar 4 being made of metal.

[0014] Figure 2(a) is a back view of cover 2, and (b) is a front view of cover 2. Cover 2 has a front cover 2a, a spine 2b, and a back cover 2c, and spine 2b has two notches 4 at the upper end and two notches 5 at the lower end. As shown in Fig. 2(b), the front cover 2a and the back cover 2c may be provided with a pocket-shaped storage section 8. The shape of the storage section 8 is not particularly limited, and for example, the opening of the storage section 8 may be provided with a hook or a fastener.

[0015] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the locking bar 3. The locking bar 3 consists of a rod portion 3a extending vertically, an upper locking portion 3b formed by bending the upper end of the rod portion 3a downward, and a lower locking portion 3c formed by bending the lower end of the rod portion 3a upward.

[0016] Next, the procedure for assembling the booklet cover 1 will be described. First, as shown in Figure 4(a), while aligning the locking bar 3 along the back side of the spine 2b, the upper locking portion 3b is hooked into the cutout portion 4 of the cover as shown in Figure 4(b). Next, while bending the cover 2, the lower locking portion 3c is hooked into the cutout portion 5. After that, when the bent cover 2 is straightened, the locking bar 3 is engaged with the cover 2 with the locking portions 3b and 3c exposed on the front side.

[0017] Next, as shown in FIG. 4(c), after opening the notebook 6 to a position where the stapler is exposed, the notebook 6 is inserted between the upper locking portion 3b and the lower locking portion 3c and the cover 2, whereupon the notebook 6 is locked to the upper locking portion 3b and the lower locking portion 3c.

[0018] By repeating the above steps, the booklet cover 1 is completed in a state in which it holds two notebooks 6, as shown in FIG. 4(d).

[0019] In this embodiment, there are two locking bars 3, two cutouts 4, two cutouts 5, and two notebooks 6, but these numbers are not limited and the design can be changed as appropriate depending on the number of booklets. The type of booklet is not limited, but a saddle-stitched booklet is preferable in consideration of thinness, ease of assembly, and durability.

[0020] As is clear from the above assembly procedure, the configuration of the present invention is simple, so even those who are not very dexterous can replace the notebook 6 and assemble the booklet cover 1. However, by using the locking bar 3 equipped with the spring portion 3d shown in FIG. 6, the length of the locking bar 3 can be changed by the expansion and contraction action of the spring portion 3d, making it even easier to hook the locking portions 3b, 3c into the cutout portions 4, 5 and to unhook them.

[0021] The symbol 7 in Figure 5 denotes a spine protection cover. The spine protection cover 7 is attached, for example by sewing, to cover the spine 2b of the cover 2, and can prevent problems such as pain caused by direct contact between the user's fingers and the locking bar 3.

[0022] The shapes, numbers, dimensions, materials, positional relationships, etc. of the components described in the present embodiment are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to them. [Explanation of symbols]
