Description

The invention relates to an objective embodiment of a book consisting of a book page and a book cover.

In the prior art representational embodiments are known in particular in children's books that give the book specific (game) functionalities. If the book is aimed at infants under the age of three, specific safety regulations must be observed. For example, children's books are known in which certain figures are shaped (unfolded) when a book page is opened. Also, books are known in which by means of built-in electrical circuits certain optical or acoustic signal sequences are generated. However, these are not suitable for the mentioned target group of children under three due to possible safety concerns.

For example, the book ( ISBN 978-1-60169-024-1 ) on individual book pages, where within the book page individual plastic buttons can be pressed perpendicular to a book page surface and thereby a noise is generated. Here, the child can playfully learn to count by pressing the plastic buttons.

Object of the present invention is therefore to provide children's books with a desired functionality, which are particularly suitable for the said target group of children under three years.

The object described above is achieved by a book page with the features of claims 1 to 15 and a book cover according to claims 16 to 26.

The book has a book cover and individually inserted book pages. In particular, the invention relates to a book page. The book page has a first layer and at least one movably mounted first friction member for generating noise when moving the friction element relative to the first layer.

Thereby, a possibility is provided in a simple and cost-effective manner to generate noise by mechanical movement. Preferably, electronic noise generation may be dispensed with, so as to improve child safety, as the use of noise-generating electric beepers for children can be very dangerous.

In one embodiment, the book page has a second layer, wherein the friction element between the first layer and the second layer is attached. This makes the book page easier to grasp and, for example, a child is prevented from simply removing the friction element. Furthermore, both the front and the back of a book page can be generated with flat surfaces.

In particular, the friction element is a friction layer. In this case, a book page that is as flat as possible can be achieved without unnecessary elevations of a friction element.

In a variant, the friction element is attached to a movable carrier. As a result, the carrier can be designed such that it can be easily gripped for mechanical movement, regardless of the configuration of the friction element.

In particular, the first layer has a second friction element, which is attached to the point at which a noise is generated by mechanical movement by friction of the two friction elements. Good noise generation is made possible, in particular, when both friction elements touch each other.

Alternatively or additionally, the second layer has a second friction element, which is attached to the point at which a noise is generated by mechanical movement by friction of the two friction elements to each other.

The book page, in one embodiment, a spacer frame wherein the spacer frame is provided to provide a distance between the first layer and another layer. In particular, the spacer frame has a lateral interruption. By using a spacer frame, a considerably greater stability of the book page can be achieved. The interruption makes it possible in particular to grip and move the carrier or the friction element from the outside.

In a variant, a second friction element is mounted within the spacer frame in such a way that noise is generated by friction of the two friction elements against each other. The spacer frame is designed in particular as a backdrop for the first friction element or the carrier element. As a result, the book page can be used in a simple way, for example, by a child.

In particular, the friction element or the carrier element is introduced into the spacer frame such that the surfaces of the friction element or of the carrier element do not protrude beyond the surfaces of the spacer frame. This contributes to the fact that the book page has the smoothest possible surface and a smooth shifting within the spacer frame is made possible.

In one embodiment, the friction elements have a corrugated surface and as a material plastic. The corrugated surface makes it easy to create a sound by mechanically moving the corrugated surfaces together. In particular, plastic is used for this because it weighs little, as well as resistant and ideally also suitable for use by children. But other materials such as corrugated cardboard or sandpaper can be used. Depending on the material used, roughness or a specific shape of the friction elements different sounds are possible, which are characteristic of certain illustrations that may be displayed on the book page. For example, a sawing noise can be mimicked to a mapped legend.

In particular, the first layer has at least one recess. This makes it possible to make visible on the friction element or the carrier element, which is located below the first layer, illustrations from the outside. This increases the suitability of the present book page for children.

In one embodiment, at least one element of the book page has at least two layers of material. Each layer of material may weigh no more than 400 g / m ² . In particular, each material layer has cardboard as the material. In doing so, the relevant safety regulations for children under the age of three, which stipulate a maximum weight of a material layer of 400 g / m ² , are observed, since they are considered to be non-swallowable for children under the age of three.

The invention also relates to a book, comprising a book cover and individually inserted book pages, wherein the invention relates in particular to a book cover. This has a first layer and a rotatably mounted disc attached thereto for selectively displaying at least one display element located on the disc.

This is achieved in a very simple way that children can select certain on-disk display elements by turning the disc.

In particular, the book cover has a second layer and the disc is mounted between the first and second layers. As a result, the book cover also appears from the outside with smooth surfaces and the disc is protected from the fact that children can remove the disc from the first layer, whereby an increased resistance of the book cover is achieved.

In particular, the disc is rotatably attached to the second layer instead of the first layer.

In one embodiment, the disc has interventions for rotating the disc. This is convenient so that children can easily select the display elements located on the disc and also turn the disc in a simple manner.

The book cover has a spacer frame with a recess in a variant, wherein the spacer frame is provided for providing a distance between the first layer and another layer. By using a spacer frame, a significantly greater stability of the book cover can be achieved.

The rotatably mounted disc is in particular designed such that it can be completely inserted into the recess of the spacer frame. For example, the disc is mounted so that the surfaces of the disc do not protrude above the surfaces of the spacer frame. This achieves in particular that the book cover appears compact from the outside and the book cover is given stability.

In particular, the first layer has at least one recess, which is designed such that the interventions of the disk can be used for rotating the disk and further the view of the on-disk display elements is made possible. This is very advantageous in the sense of a clear visualization of a selective display by the recess in the first layer, wherein the display elements can be selected by rotating the disc.

In one embodiment, at least one element of the book cover has at least two layers of material. In particular, each material layer weighs at most 400 g / m ² . As a material, each material layer, for example, cardboard. This also takes into account the safety requirements for children under the age of three, according to which each layer of material may weigh no more than 400 g / m ² and is thus considered to be non-swallowable for children under the age of three.

In one variant, the disc is adjustable by means of at least one latching means in at least one position.
