Description

Technical Field

[0001] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a vertically-opening folding book.

Background Art

[0002] For example, there is a gojuyin book as a book surface for stamping the gojuyin, which is a certificate given to worshippers in shrines and temples. The gojuyin book has paper formed in a bellows shape sandwiched between a front cover and a back cover, and when the user receives the gojuyin, it is opened in a so-called horizontal opening manner for use. At this time, one gojuyin is stamped on each of the left and right pages of the gojuyin book opened in the horizontal opening manner.

[0003] The gojuyin book adopts such a configuration because, for example, in the case of general vertical writing, without even mentioning examples of single-volume books or paperback books, the book surface is opened to the right and the pages are turned from left to right. This is because Japanese is written vertically and the text is arranged from right to left. Also, the gojuyin has a certain size, and the gojuyin book also needs to have enough space for the gojuyin and other descriptions.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] On the other hand, in the case of something with a relatively short coherent text, such as a sutra like the Heart Sutra, a haiku, or a tanka, although a certain rhythm is created when reading due to the short coherence, in the case of a large-sized book surface like a gojuyin book, the usability is not necessarily good.

[0006] In addition, while the inventor, Keiko Minoura (formerly Shibata), a calligrapher, was engaged in the activity of writing scriptures such as the Heart Sutra in the Japanese-specific character "hiragana", when writing the continuous flow peculiar to vertical hiragana, in order not to disrupt the rhythm and the flow of the reader, it was found that it is easier to read by turning the paper vertically rather than the horizontal opening like the above-mentioned gojuincho.

[0007] Furthermore, even when browsing the Internet or the like using a mobile phone that has become popular in recent years, it is often the case that the screen of the mobile phone is scrolled up and down to read. Therefore, a folding booklet of such a size as a mobile phone, which can be turned vertically to read scriptures and the like, is easy for people of all ages, genders, and modern people to get close to.

[0008] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a vertically-opening folding booklet as a ledger for writing a relatively short piece of text like a scripture, which can be read without breaking the rhythm when reading the content and has excellent usability.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the vertically-opening folding booklet according to the invention described in claim 1 includes a front cover, a back cover, and a series of papers stitched between the front cover and the back cover. When placed in front of the user, the long side is in the vertical direction and the short side is in the horizontal direction, and it opens vertically with the short side as the axis.

[0010] Also, in order to solve the above problems, in the vertically-opening folding booklet according to the invention described in claim 2, one end of the series of papers is bonded to at least the upper short side inside the front cover when placed in front of the user, and the other end of the series of papers is bonded to at least the upper short side inside the back cover when placed in front of the user, and it is formed in a bellows shape that is folded horizontally multiple times between the one end and the other end.

[0011] Furthermore, in a series of sheets, when placed in front of the user, identification marks are provided on three sides of the front cover and the back cover, excluding the upper short sides. Also, an identification mark is provided on the upper short side of the front cover when placed in front of the user.

Advantages of the Invention

[0012] According to the device described in claim 1, the vertically-opening folding book is opened vertically by the user around the short side, that is, from bottom to top. Therefore, it can be read without disrupting the rhythm. Also, in terms of the overall size, it is not the size of an autograph book, but is sized such that people of all ages and genders can often hold it with one hand and turn the pages with the other. Thus, it can be easily turned along the flow of the text.

[0013] Moreover, according to the device described in claim 2, a series of sheets provided between the front cover and the back cover are formed in a bellows shape that is folded horizontally multiple times between the connection parts of the front cover and the back cover. Therefore, when the cover is opened and the pages are turned, the next page also rises in a form pulled by the previous page, making it easy to turn.

[0014] Furthermore, according to the device described in claim 3, in a series of sheets, when placed in front of the user, identification marks are provided on three sides of the front cover and the back cover, excluding the upper short sides. Also, an identification mark is provided on the upper short side of the front cover when placed in front of the user. Therefore, the orientation of the vertically-opening folding book at the start of use can be grasped.

[0015] Moreover, according to the device described in claim 4, an identification mark is provided on the upper short side of the front cover when placed in front of the user. In this case as well, the orientation of the vertically-opening folding book at the start of use can be grasped.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a front view showing the entirety of the vertically-opening folding book 1 in the embodiment of the present invention as seen from the front. As shown in FIG. 1, the vertically-opening folding book 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front. And it is formed such that the long side is in the vertical direction and the short side is in the horizontal direction.

[0019] Here, the orientation of the vertically-opening folding book 1 shown in FIG. 1 represents the orientation of the vertically-opening folding book 1 when the user first opens the front cover 2 while holding the vertically-opening folding book 1 in hand. When the user picks up the vertically-opening folding book 1 and starts using it, the user picks up the vertically-opening folding book 1 in the orientation shown in FIG. 1. Therefore, hereinafter, such an orientation of the vertically-opening folding book 1 may be appropriately expressed as the orientation when the vertically-opening folding book 1 is placed in front of the user.

[0020] In FIG. 1, the front cover 2 of the vertically-opening folding book 1 is visible on the front side. On the other hand, since the back cover 3 constituting the vertically-opening folding book 1 has the same shape as the front cover 2, when the vertically-opening folding book 1 is viewed from the front, it overlaps with the front cover 2 and thus is not visible in the front view of FIG. 1.

[0021] In the vertically-opening folding carton 1 shown in FIG. 1, the vertical direction is the up-and-down direction, which is represented as the upper side in the X direction and the lower side in the X direction here. The horizontal direction is the left-and-right direction, which is represented as the left side in the Y direction and the right side in the Y direction here.

[0022] As described above, the front cover 2 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front. Therefore, hereinafter, the upper short side of the front cover 2 is appropriately referred to as the upper side 21, the lower short side as the lower side 22, the left long side as the left side 23, and the right long side as the right side 24.

[0023] FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view of the vertically-opening folding carton 1 in the embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the left side. In the perspective view of FIG. 2, in addition to the front cover 2 shown in FIG. 1, the back cover 3 is also shown. Also, since FIG. 2 is represented as a perspective view, in addition to the above-described X direction and Y direction, the direction orthogonal to both directions is represented as the Z direction. And the upper side of the drawing is represented as the upper side in the Z direction, and the lower side of the drawing is represented as the lower side in the Z direction.

[0024] In FIG. 2, the front cover 2 is shown on the upper side in the Z direction, and the back cover 3 is shown on the lower side in the Z direction. As described above, the back cover 3 also has the same shape as the front cover 2 and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front as shown in FIG. 1. Regarding the back cover 3 as well, hereinafter, in the same manner as the front cover 2, the upper short side of the back cover 3 is appropriately referred to as the upper side 31, the lower short side as the lower side 32, the left long side as the left side 33, and the right long side as the right side 34.

[0025] Furthermore, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2, a series of sheets 4 (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as "sheet 4") are bound between the front cover 2 and the back cover 3. Therefore, the sheet 4 is sandwiched between the front cover 2 arranged on the upper side in the Z direction and the back cover 3 arranged on the lower side in the Z direction.

[0026] The front cover 2 and the back cover 3 are, for example, cloth-covered with cardboard as the core inside. In the drawings showing the vertically-opening folding book 1 and the like in the embodiments of the present invention, the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 are not particularly patterned, but for example, patterned end cloth can be used. Also, regarding the use of the end cloth, it can be used for only the front cover 2, or only the back cover 3, or both of them.

[0027] Furthermore, regarding the materials constituting the front cover 2 and the back cover 3, even if the materials as described above are not particularly used, for example, materials such as metal and resin can be adopted. Also, it is possible to change the materials used for the front cover 2 and the back cover 3.

[0028] As described above, the paper 4 is sandwiched between the front cover 2 and the back cover 3. And the paper 4 is stitched between the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 by bonding one end portion 41 to the front cover 2 and the other end portion 42 to the back cover 3.

[0029] That is, the vertically-opening folding book 1 in the embodiments of the present invention does not stitch loose papers one by one like a book, but stitches the paper 4 formed in a continuous manner between the one end portion 41 and the other end portion 42.

[0030] Specifically, for example, one end portion 41 of this paper 4 is bonded to at least the upper short side (upper side) 21 on the back of the front cover 2 when the vertically-opening folding book 1 is placed in front of the user. Also, the other end portion 42 of the paper 4 is bonded to at least the upper short side (upper side) 31 on the back of the back cover 3 when the vertically-opening folding book 1 is placed in front of the user.

[0031] However, it is not necessarily necessary to bond in such a way. For example, when the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 are lined with paper or the like on the back for binding, it is sufficient if the one end portion 41 and the other end portion 42 are bonded to the upper side 21 of the front cover 2 or the upper side 31 of the back cover 3 via the lining.

[0032] Also, one end 41 of the paper 4 is adhered to the upper side 21 on the back of the front cover 2, and the other end 42 is adhered to the upper side 31 on the back of the back cover 3 in this way. However, regarding the pasting positions on the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 of this one end 41 and the other end 42, it is sufficient if they are adhered to at least the above-described positions, and they may be adhered to the entire back surface of the front cover 2 and the back cover 3, or the entire lining surface.

[0033] Since the paper 4 sandwiched between the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 in this way is adhered to the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 at one end 41 and the other end 42 respectively, the front cover 2, the paper 4, and the back cover 3 together constitute the vertically-opening folding book 1 integrally.

[0034] In addition, in the vertically-opening folding book 1 in the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of the paper 4 sandwiched between the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 is, for example, as shown in the perspective view in FIG. 2. However, the amount of the paper 4 sandwiched between the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 can be arbitrarily set.

[0035] Also, the vertically-opening folding book 1 in the embodiment of the present invention is, for example, of a size that can be held with one hand when a person picks up the vertically-opening folding book 1. Therefore, when using the vertically-opening folding book 1, for example, hold the vertically-opening folding book 1 in the left hand and turn the pages with the right hand as described later.

[0036] And since the paper 4 is adhered to the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 as described above in the vertically-opening folding book 1 in the embodiment of the present invention, it is formed to open in the vertical direction along the short side. That is, taking the vertically-opening folding book 1 shown in FIG. 2 as an example, by pulling up the lower side 22 of the front cover 2 upward, it opens in the direction indicated by the large arrow in FIG. 2.

[0037] FIG. 3 shows the state in which the front cover 2 of the vertically-opening folding book 1 is opened in such a direction. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the state in which the front cover 2 of the vertically-opening folding book 1 in the embodiment of the present invention is opened. Also, for the convenience of explanation, the vertically-opening folding book 1 shown in FIG. 3 is, for example, in a state of being placed on the desk D, and the front cover 2 is opened.

[0038] The vertically-opening folding book 1 in FIG. 3 is shown in substantially the same orientation as the vertically-opening folding book 1 shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, the back cover 3 is arranged to contact the desk D on the lower side in the Z direction. Also, the front cover 2 is arranged to contact the desk D in the state of being opened in the direction of the arrow. In the state of the vertically-opening folding book 1 shown in FIG. 3, the upper side 21 of the front cover 2 and the upper side 31 of the back cover 3 are arranged adjacent to each other at a close position.

[0039] Of course, since the opened front cover 2 is placed on the desk D in the same way as the back cover 3, the upper side 21 of the front cover 2 and the upper side 31 of the back cover 3 are arranged adjacent to each other at a close position. When the vertically-opening folding book 1 is opened on the desk D, as shown in FIG. 4 described later, it is also possible to separate and arrange the front cover 2 and the back cover 3. Also, when the user holds the vertically-opening folding book 1 in the hand and opens the front cover 2, the distance between the upper side 21 of the front cover 2 and the upper side 31 of the back cover 3 changes depending on the way the user holds it.

[0040] And the paper 4 is formed in a bellows shape that is folded multiple times in the same direction between one end portion 41 and the other end portion 42. The same direction here is the short side direction of the vertically-opening folding book 1, that is, the left-right direction (horizontal direction) shown in FIG. 1.

[0041] In FIG. 3, three folding portions are shown. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, in the state where only the front cover 2 of the vertically-opening folding book 1 is opened, a first folding portion 43 is recognized at a position close to the lower side 22 of the front cover 2, and a second folding portion 44 is recognized on the side of the lower side 32 of the back cover 3. And a third folding portion 45 is formed between these first folding portion 43 and the second folding portion 44.

[0042] As is clear also in FIG. 3, the first folding portion 43 and the second folding portion 44 are folded in a mountain fold. On the other hand, the third folding portion 45 is on the upper side in the X direction of the vertically-opening folding book 1, that is, in the vicinity of the upper side 21 of the front cover 2 and the upper side 31 of the back cover 3, and is folded in a valley fold. In this way, the paper 4 is formed in a bellows shape by being folded so as to alternately repeat mountain folds and valley folds.

[0043] As described above, the amount of the paper 4 sandwiched between the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 can be set arbitrarily. Therefore, according to the amount of the paper 4, the number of mountain folds and valley folds between one end portion 41 attached to the front cover 2 of the paper 4 and the other end portion 42 attached to the back cover 3 will increase or decrease.

[0044] In the vertically-opening folding book 1 shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of circles are drawn on the surface of the paper 4 that can be seen when opened. These are imitations of characters, for example, hiragana. As described above, scriptures such as the Heart Sutra, haiku, and tanka are basically written vertically. As has been described so far, the vertically-opening folding book 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured to open the long side about the short side as an axis. And since it is written vertically, the text is described from top to bottom with respect to the paste surface (the surface of the paper 4).

[0045] In the vertically-opening folding book 1 shown in FIG. 3, characters are described from the upper side in the X direction to the lower side in the X direction. Also, although only one line is described here, it does not prevent a plurality of lines from being described. Further, the characters are also described on the third folding portion 45, but may be divided and described on the upper side and the lower side in the X direction with the third folding portion 45 as a boundary.

[0046] When the user turns the vertically-opening folding book 1, from the state of the vertically-opening folding book 1 shown in FIG. 3, the second folding portion 44 that is a mountain fold is moved in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 3, that is, so that the second folding portion 44 contacts the first folding portion 43 about the third folding portion 45 as an axis. By turning the vertically-opening folding book 1 in this way, it is possible to move to the next page.

[0047] And when turning the page until the end, the back of the back cover 3 can be seen, and when turning the back cover 3 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 3 as it is, a state where the back cover 3 can be seen is obtained. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the front cover 2 remains in a state of continuously contacting the desk D, and the back cover 3 is arranged on the upper side in the Z direction. This state is a state where the vertically-opening folding book 1 shown in FIG. 1 is upside down in the vertical direction.

[0048] That is, the lower side 32 of the back cover 3 is on the upper side in the X direction, and the upper side 31 is on the lower side in the X direction. Similarly, the upper side 21 of the front cover 2 is on the lower side in the X direction, and the lower side 22 is on the upper side in the X direction. However, there is no change in the left - right direction of the vertically - opened folding book 1, and the left side in the Y direction and the right side in the Y direction are the same as the state of the vertically - opened folding book 1 where the front cover 2 shown in FIG. 1 is visible from the front.

[0049] Continuing from this state, hold the upper side 31 of the back cover 3 and turn the back cover 3 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 3. In this state, the upper side 31 of the back cover 3 moves from the lower side in the X direction to the upper side in the X direction, and the lower side 32 of the back cover 3 is arranged at a position close to the lower side 22 of the front cover 2.

[0050] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the state in which the back cover 3 of the vertically - opened folding book 1 in the embodiment of the present invention is opened. In FIG. 4, as described above, the vertically - opened folding book 1 is in a state where the up - down direction is reversed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0051] More specifically, considering the Z - direction of the vertically - opened folding book 1 shown in FIG. 2 as a reference, in the direction shown in FIG. 4, the front cover 2 in contact with the desk D is on the upper side in the Z direction, and the back cover 3 is on the lower side in the Z direction. Therefore, the paper 4 visible in FIG. 4 is seen as being opened on the lower side in the Z direction. Also, the longitudinal direction of the vertically - opened folding book 1, that is, the X - direction is also reversed. Therefore, with reference to the X - direction of the vertically - opened folding book 1 shown in FIG. 2, the upper - left part of the drawing is on the lower side in the X direction, and the lower - right part of the drawing is on the upper side in the X direction.

[0052] Furthermore, the vertically - opened folding book 1 shown in FIG. 4 is different from the vertically - opened folding book 1 shown in FIG. 3, and the turned - over back cover 3 is arranged at a position separated from the front cover 2. In this state, the other end 42 of the paper 4 and the lower side 32 of the back cover 3 are opposed to each other at positions separated from the lower side 22 of the front cover 2.

[0053] Also, in FIG. 4, a state in which another sheet of paper 4 is further turned over after opening the back cover 3 is shown. Therefore, in the vertically - opened folding book 1 shown in FIG. 4, four folding parts are shown. Specifically, there is a fourth folding part 46 at the position of the lower side 32 of the back cover 3, and a fifth folding part 47 is visible below it in the Z direction.

[0054] Also, near the lower side 22 of the front cover 2, there is a sixth folding portion 48, and near the upper side 21 of the front cover 2, a seventh folding portion 49 can be seen. Among these, the fourth folding portion 46 and the sixth folding portion 48 are valley folds, and the fifth folding portion 47 and the seventh folding portion 49 are mountain folds.

[0055] Also, there are characters described between the fifth folding portion 47 and the seventh folding portion 49. Here, different from the vertically-opening folding booklet 1 shown in FIG. 3, with the sixth folding portion 48 as a boundary, the characters are described separately in the region delimited by the fifth folding portion 47 side and the sixth folding portion 48, and the region delimited by the sixth folding portion 48 side and the seventh folding portion 49.

[0056] In addition, there are characters described on the paper 4 between the fourth folding portion 46 and the fifth folding portion 47, but they are hidden and not visible in the figure of FIG. 4.

[0057] From such a state, further, when the seventh folding portion 49 is opened in the direction of the arrow and the page is turned, finally the upper side 21 of the front cover 2 will be turned. When this upper side 21 is turned, as shown in FIG. 2, the front cover 2 appears on the upper side in the Z direction of the vertically-opening folding booklet 1 and returns to the state.

[0058] Since the vertically-opening folding booklet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention adopts the above-described configuration, for example, sutras written vertically in hiragana can be read vertically. Therefore, it can be read without spoiling the rhythm when reading the content.

[0059] Also, when reading the characters described in the vertically-opening folding booklet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the page is always turned from the lower side in the X direction to the upper side in the X direction as described above. Therefore, from the state where the back cover 3 appears after turning the vertically-opening folding booklet 1, there is no need to turn it over to the left side or the right side in the Y direction, and the page can be continuously turned in the same direction, so it is excellent in usability.

[0060] The above is the vertical-opening folding book 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the pages are turned from the lower side in the X direction to the upper side in the X direction. However, as described above, when placing the text written in the vertical writing style, for example, in the case of a paperback or a pocket book, generally the pages are turned from the right side in the Y direction to the left side in the Y direction. Therefore, it can be said that the user is accustomed to such a form.

[0061] Therefore, as a method of clarifying where to open (turn), the following two methods can be considered. FIG. 5 is an overall perspective view showing the whole of the first modification of the vertical-opening folding book 1 in the embodiment of the present invention. Further, FIG. 6 is an overall perspective view showing the whole of the second modification of the vertical-opening folding book in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] First, in the case of the vertical-opening folding book 1A shown in the first modification, in a series of papers, when placed in front of the user, identification marks are provided on three sides of the front cover 2 and the back cover 3 excluding the upper short sides. Various things can be considered as the said "identification mark", but in the case of the vertical-opening folding book 1A shown in this first modification, it is the color attached to three sides excluding the upper short side.

[0063] That is, the left side surface, the lower side, and the right side surface of the paper 4 of the vertical-opening folding book 1A are colored. In the perspective view of FIG. 5, the colored state is shown by drawing dot hatching. Since it is shown with such hatching, for example, the lines showing that the paper 4 is formed in a bellows shape as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2 are omitted from the drawing.

[0064] On the other hand, although not visible from the direction in FIG. 5, such a color is not attached to the upper side of the vertical-opening folding book 1A. By not coloring only the upper side of the vertical-opening folding book 1A in this way, when the front cover 2 is directed upward in the Z direction, it can be understood at a glance which part of the vertical-opening folding book 1A corresponds to the upper side in the X direction.

[0065] Here, "color" is cited as the identification mark, but the color can be any color. Also, it is acceptable that the entire left side, bottom, and right side are not colored, and only a part of each of these three sides is colored. Further, instead of color, for example, a pattern may be provided.

[0066] In this way, by attaching an identification mark to three sides of the vertical-opening folding sheet 1A excluding the upper short side, the orientation of the vertical-opening folding sheet at the start of use can be grasped.

[0067] Next, in the case of the vertical-opening folding sheet 1B shown in the second modification, an identification mark is provided on the upper short side of the front cover sheet 2 when placed in front of the user. Here, as the identification mark, a sticker L on which, for example, a title or the like can be written is provided on the right shoulder (upper side in the X direction and right side in the Y direction) of the front cover sheet 2.

[0068] In particular, by forming the sticker L in the same form as the vertical-opening folding sheet 1B, with the X direction as the long side and the Y direction as the short side, it is possible to clearly indicate which side of the vertical-opening folding sheet 1B is the upper side in the X direction.

[0069] Also, it is possible to grasp the orientation of the vertical-opening folding sheet at the start of use and to clarify which way the vertical-opening folding sheet 1B is to be opened. Furthermore, it is possible to combine the first modification and the second modification. That is, it is also possible to combine a plurality of identification marks.

[0070] Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

[0071] For example, in the case of the vertically-opening folding book 1 described so far, the upper side on the X direction and the lower side on the X direction are short sides, the left side on the Y direction and the right side on the Y direction are long sides, and the vertically-opening folding book 1 is opened with the short side as the axis.

[0072] However, it does not necessarily have to be such an aspect ratio. For example, it may be formed such that the upper side on the X direction and the lower side on the X direction are long sides, and the left side on the Y direction and the right side on the Y direction are short sides. In this case, the vertically-opening folding book 1 is opened with the horizontal direction (Y direction) that becomes the long side as the axis.

[0073] In addition, regarding the technology described in the embodiments of the present invention, the following configurations can also be adopted. (1) It includes a front cover, a back cover, and a series of papers stitched between the front cover and the back cover, When placed in front of the user, the long side is in the vertical direction and the short side is in the horizontal direction, A vertically-opening folding book characterized by opening in the vertical direction with the short side as the axis. (2) One end of the series of papers is bonded to at least the upper short side on the back of the front cover when placed in front of the user, and the other end of the series of papers is bonded to at least the upper short side on the back of the back cover when placed in front of the user, and is formed in a bellows shape folded multiple times horizontally between the one end and the other end. The vertically-opening folding book according to (1) above, characterized in that. (3) In the series of papers, when placed in front of the user, identification marks are provided on three sides of the front cover and the back cover excluding the upper short sides. The vertically-opening folding book according to (1) or (2) above, characterized in that. (4) An identification mark is provided on the upper short side of the front cover when placed in front of the user.
