Description

The proposal relates to printing, namely to binding work related to the production of books in elegant hard covers, which are carried out mainly by hand.

Various hardcover book designs are known. Known book stitching on ribbons (US Pat. US 645301) and on cords or ropes - (US Pat. US 416553). The latter method is the closest to the proposed technical solution.

The most complete description is given of such a design of the book, as well as the method of its manufacture in the publication: Bookbinder. A practical guide to bookbinding skills, M., Cognitive book plus, 2002, so they were adopted as the closest analogue of the claimed group of inventions.

According to the indicated source, there are three ways to connect the cardboards: 1) when the soaked ends of the cords are glued from below under the cardboards, 2) when these ends are glued on top of the cardboard, and 3) when the cords are threaded from above, through the holes made in the cardboards.

In this case, the closest option is the method when the cords are threaded from above through small holes made in the cardboard sides (see p. 92-93). Most often, make two holes side by side and first let the laces pass from top to bottom into one hole, and then from bottom to top into the other, with the remaining ends spread out and glued on the outside of the cardboard. After gluing the ends, the holes are leveled with a hammer and a strip of paper smeared with paste is laid on top of them. In this case, preference is given to the third method, which provides the greatest strength of cardboard attachment.

At the same time, this method also has disadvantages due to the fact that the cords in the spine area are not firmly attached to the cardboard sides due to the small contact area. In addition, the impact of the hammer does not contribute to the strength of the structure, but rather violates the specified weak adhesive contact between the cords and sides.

The present invention is based on the task of increasing the structural strength of the book by improving the method of attaching the cords to the cardboard sides.

The problem is solved in the proposed design of the hardcover book containing notebooks sewn into the book block using cords, with bookends sewn to the first and last notebooks attached to the cardboard sides located on the lower and upper sides of the book block, with the backside located and binding material is glued over the back and sides, while these cords are passed through the slots located parallel to their long edge, made in the sides, the number of which is equal to t he cords and defibrated thin filaments state adhered to the outer surface of panel before the slits, the loose ends of the cords are adhered to the inner surface of panel.

This problem is also solved in the proposed method of making a hardcover book, which includes the following operations: stitching notebooks together with bookends into a book block on cords, trimming cords, gluing the spine, trimming the block, attaching cardboard sides to the book block by gluing cords to them, coating book block binding material by gluing it with a bend on the inner surface of the sides and the back, and gluing bookends to the coated sides, while before gluing the cords on each side do not make holes in the form of slots located parallel to its long edge, the number of which is equal to the number of cords, while the cords are passed into the specified slots and glued to the outer surface of the sides before the slots in a state dissolved into thin threads, and the ends of the loose cords are glued to the inner surface of the sides .

Preferably, after trimming the block, it rounds and laminates.

In addition, block edges can be additionally designed, mainly: staining, marbling, gilding, silvering or trimming.

Sewing of bookends is carried out either as ordinary block notebooks are sewn, or bend under the first and last notebooks.

In the book block, cuts are made under the cords, and “false bandages” made of cardboard or thick leather can be glued to the back.

After gluing the root, gluing of the captal, lass, gauze, paper for aligning and strengthening the root is possible.

As cords, hemp or linen cords are predominantly used.

The ends of the cords are glued with a bend towards the spine of the block or away from the spine.

The technical result consists in increasing the strength of the book by increasing the area of adhesive bonding of the cords with the cardboard sides of the binding. In this case, reinforcing the structure in the area directly located next to the spine of the book block is of particular importance.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, which show:

figure 1 - a stitched book block, on which the outer side of the cardboard sides shows the fastening of the cords to the sides.

figure 2 and 3 is the same, only shows the options for attaching cords on the inside of the cardboard sides.

According to the proposed invention, the book contains a book block 1, consisting of notebooks 2 stitched using cords 3. Bookends are sewn to the first and last notebooks attached to the cardboard sides located on the lower and upper sides of the book block 4. There is a gap on the spine and a gap on top and the side is glued with binding material (not shown). The cords are passed through slots 5 arranged at the sides parallel to their long edge 5. The number of slots 5 is equal to the number of cords 3. The cords 3 of the loose state are glued to the outer surface of the sides 4 in front of the slots, and the ends 6 of the loose cords 3 are glued to the inner surface of the sides 4 .

A method of manufacturing a book is as follows. Basically, all operations are widely known and are not explained in detail. First, fold and select book block 1. Then block 1 is clamped in a wooden vise, cuts are made under hemp or linen cords 3. Hemp or linen cords are then stretched on a sewing machine (not shown). The flyleaf is sewn first and last, then the whole block is sewn together in one notebook. Cords should stand clearly in cuts. The bookends can be sewn in two ways: a) either they are sewn together — a regular block notebook, b) or a bend is made under the first notebook, referred to in the following description as “fold”. Moreover, the fold may also be leather or woven. After sewing on the last bookend, the book is removed from the machine. Then the cords are cut so that there are tails from 4 to 10 cm long (the size of these tails depends both on the publication format and on the chosen option for attaching the cords, which are explained below). Next, the root of the stitched unit 1 is glued with glue. After the glue dries, the block is trimmed. The next step is rounding the spine. This process is carried out with a mallet or hammer.

Then the block is placed in the “pins”, clamped in a vise and laminating is done - beating the folds, giving the root a mushroom shape. Laminated root provides better opening of the book as a result of folding notebooks. The next operation is the design of block edges (staining, marbling, gilding, silvering, torshonirovanie, etc.). This allows not only to decorate the book, but also protects its sheets from exposure to dust and sunlight.

After this, the root is glued, the captal, gusset, gauze, paper for growing and strengthening the root is glued. After complete drying, the block is removed from the "spall". Next is the cutting of cardboard sides and backlog (cardboard). False bandages (cardboard or thick leather) can be glued to the back.

Next, the operation of fastening the block and cardboard sides. In order to stick the sides to the block, it is necessary to dissolve the cords 3 into thin threads (the thinner the better). Then, on the cardboard sides, slots 5 are arranged parallel to the edge of each side, the number of which is equal to the number of cords 3. Then, the cords 3 are pulled into the previously obtained slots. After pulling the cords 3 through the cuts 5, their ends 6 are glued on the inside of the side 4. In this case, the loose ends of the cords can be glued in two ways: either to the side of the spine (Fig. 2), or with a bend towards the spine of the block (Fig. 3). In the second embodiment, respectively, the tails of the cords should be made longer, and the slots should be located further from the spine. Due to the fact that the cords 3 are glued in a dissolved state at the very beginning of the sides, next to the spine, this design can significantly strengthen the design of the book, as well as improve the final appearance of the product, because along the entire surface of the sides of the cords are glued in a loose flat state.

Next is the cover of the book. For this, the binding material (leather) is cut according to the format of the sides. Then the skin is prepared to cover the previously made product. Block 1 with glued (attached) sides 4 is placed in a vice. The gap with the bandages is attached to the spine. Then the skin is glued to the back and bandages are processed with specialized tools. The block is removed from the vice and the skin is stretched with glue to the sides. Next, the skin is bent to the inside of the cardboard base side. Then flyleafs are glued to the sides.
