Definitions
- the present invention makes it possible to produce works whose very structure is specific and therefore makes it possible to characterize an industrial product regardless of what it may contain, in addition, of aesthetic creation.
- the subject of the invention is a printed product such as an atlas, containing graphical representations on a different scale of at least one real physical assembly, in particular geographical, of the type comprising a plurality of plates which are assembled in a any unit constituting the complete industrial product, which each represent a fraction of the whole and which include landmarks, explanatory and / or identifying symbols and symbols, characterized in that one of the plates includes a graphic representation of the complete set and, in superposition, a frame which delimits, independently of any possible natural or artificial division, fractions of the set according to regular geometrical figures which do not overlap between them and which are homothetic to the other boards, namely according to regular geometric figures without overlap between them, whose shapes and proportions are the same as the s shapes and proportions of the other boards and the dimensions of which are multiplied by an enlargement coefficient such that each of the said other boards has three concentric zones, namely: • a central zone which reproduces on a larger scale the corresponding fraction of the
- connection strip being regular and having the same dimensions for all
- each board being cut in a format larger than that of the peripheral margin
- each board has a united edge outside said peripheral margin.
- the peripheral margin contains markers; • the same central area represents elements of the real set on scales larger than the representation of the set but slightly different from each other, depending on the readability of the explanatory and / or identifying marks, indications or symbols;
- elements of the central zone each contain, in total, identification indications of dimensions large enough to be read with the naked eye, including when said elements are proportionally too small to contain said indications, in which case these elements are represented on a slightly larger scale than that of other elements in the same central area, while being located in their actual location; • elements visible on the overall representation and on at least one of the central areas have the same appearance, in particular the same color, both on the overall representation and, on a larger scale, on the corresponding central zones; • the printed product being of the type according to which the real set is a geographical area, the reproduction of the complete set being a plan, or map, and the fractions of this set representing traffic routes and bordering areas, some at fewer of the lanes shown contain identification markings that can be read with the naked eye and these lanes have an area such that each contains all of the said identification markings which are necessary for it, without any overflow of these markings on the adjacent areas , this area being, if necessary, on a slightly larger scale than the rest of the central area, restricting one or
- traffic lanes of the real complex being bordered by buildings comprising a room accessible to the public, such as a store, a parking lot, a post office, a theater or others, at least some of these rooms are represented by an identification mark entirely located on a bordering area and placed in such a way that it is tangent to the side of the track, at the place where its entry into the real set is effectively, whatever the orientation on said side of the track;
- the identification mark is a reproduction of a standardized sign, a trademark or a sign of the local operator
- the peripheral margin contains at least two orthogonal identification scales, one alphabetical and the other numerical, each composed of two categories of distinct and contiguous boxes, any grid on the central area being excluded;
- the board which includes a graphic representation of the complete set is part of a larger structure subdivided into separate sets, of the same shape and dimensions, organized in a dextrorotatory spiral from a central set and identified in the following order : first in the center, second on the right side, third in the lower right corner, fourth on the lower side, fifth in the lower left corner, sixth on the left side, seventh in the upper left corner, eighth on the upper side and ninth in the upper right corner, each of these sets having, like the first, in superposition, a frame which delimits, independently of any possible natural or artificial division, fractions of each set considered according to regular geometric figures without overlap between them, whose shapes and proportions are the same as the shapes and proportions of other boards on which the representations have dimensions which are multiplied by an enlargement coefficient; • each set is designated by a number;
- the fractions of a given set are identified in the following order from a fraction considered to be the first located in the center: the second on the right side of the central fraction, the third in the lower right corner of the fraction central, the fourth on the lower side, the fifth in the lower left corner, the sixth on the left side, the seventh in the upper left corner, the eighth on the upper side, the ninth in the upper right corner, and so on by creating a module completely surrounding the previous assembly; • in each of the eight radial directions from the center: right, left, top, bottom and oblique intermediaries, the fractions follow each other in logical order and are identified by numbers which have a common root and which are of progressive rank from the center towards the periphery; • two concentric modules include representations at two different scales;
- each board has its own mark as well as the markers corresponding to the boards close to its edges and angles; “At least on certain plates the telephone number of a supplier of services and / or products appears, at the same place where said supplier is located;
- the printed product includes at least a nomenclature of the significant elements of the central area, either of each board individually, or of all the boards, each element being followed by the reference of the board on which it is located and indications of its location on said board;
- the printed product includes at least one nomenclature of the categories of significant elements in the central area, either of each board individually, or of all the boards, each element of the nomenclature being associated with its identification mark followed by the mark of the board on which it is located and indications of its location on said board.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of an overall plan of the City of Paris and its immediate suburbs according to the invention and carrying a frame which delimit fractions each bearing a number corresponding to that of the page of the work according to the invention where the plan on a larger scale of this fraction is located.
- Figure 2 is a schematic view illustrating a method of locating pages according to the invention.
- Figure 3 is a schematic view of a page of the book according to the invention, corresponding to one of the fractions of the overall plan.
- Figures 4 and 5 are two partial schematic views taken from Figure 3 and showing the use of an independent strip for easy identification, especially in the central part of a page.
- Figure 6 is a schematic view illustrating a frame according to the invention, using two different scales for the same set.
- FIG. 7 is a schematic view illustrating a frame according to the invention, using three different scales for the same set, as a function of a difference in the number of details to be represented, in particular as a function of their density.
- FIG. 8 is a schematic view illustrating another frame according to the invention using two scales distributed differently than in FIG. 7.
- FIG. 9 is a detailed partial view of the frame of FIG. 8.
- Figure 10 is a partial schematic view showing a general nomenclature of significant elements of all the boards of a structure according to the invention.
- Figure 11 is a partial schematic view showing a partial nomenclature of significant elements of one of the plates of a work according to the invention.
- a printed product according to the invention consists of a work formed of assembled pages containing graphic representations, like an atlas.
- graphic representations like an atlas.
- the example of a geographic atlas has been chosen, but the invention also has other applications, in particular anatomical plates.
- Figure 1 shows a map of Paris and its surrounding suburbs on a very small scale in order to offer a representation of the entire geographic area.
- On the plan itself is a frame of horizontal 1 and vertical lines 2 determining equal rectangles 3 on each of which is a number preceded by the letter "P", which means that the whole is divided into equal fractions each to a rectangle 3 and found on the page of the book corresponding to the number.
- the numbering of the pages is determined starting from a central fraction, here P 11 and following the logical order according to a dextrorotatory spiral, which makes it possible to advance the graphic representations concentrically from the center.
- each page includes three distinct areas:
- a large central area 5 which corresponds exactly to the rectangle of the frame
- the central zone 5 represents on a larger scale the fraction of the complete assembly and may therefore include many more details than the overall representation .
- peripheral margin 6 does not carry any element of the complete set or of the corresponding fraction, which is why it is called "neutral".
- the upper and lower horizontal segments of the margin 6 are marked here consisting of numbers while the left and right vertical segments are marked here consisting of letters.
- the connecting strip 7 is regular, that is to say that it is determined by two parallel straight lines whose spacing is constant for all the boards. In other words, the connecting strips 7 of all the boards are equal.
- the marks, numbers and letters, are printed on boxes 8 and 9 alternately of two different aspects, in particular of two alternating colors.
- the odd numbers are on boxes 8 of light color while the even numbers are on boxes 9 of darker color.
- the boxes are placed against each other, and their individual width is roughly equal to that of the end of a human finger. It is observed, on the other hand, that there is no grid on the central zone 5 which is therefore not cluttered with any parasitic element.
- the connecting strip 7 is intermediate between the central zone 5 and the peripheral margin 6 and contains elements of the complete assembly belonging to the four neighboring fractions, on this overall plan.
- the four sides of the connecting strip 7 are parts of the neighboring central zones and not of the neighboring pages.
- the connecting strip 7 contains at least once on each side and once at each corner the number of the page on which the corresponding central area is located. On the sides, these numbers are in a rectangular box 11 extended by an arrow 12. In the corners, these numbers are in a trapezoidal box 13 extended by an arrow 14.
- the pages adjacent to page P 18 are:
- the pages of the book can advantageously be cut out so that their edges coincide exactly with the outer limit of the neutral margin 6 to avoid any loss of space and, therefore, to take advantage of as large a scale as possible. But it is also possible to cut the pages of the book a little beyond the margin 6 to create an outer edge 10 left white, without printing, the edges 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the page then being away from the peripheral margin of the width of the selvedge 10.
- the selvedge 10 may not be present on the four sides of the sheet.
- This selvedge 10 can also have a different width depending on whether it is along a horizontal side 15-17 or a vertical side 16-18.
- a structure which proves practical is to provide each page P 11 and following in a format double that of the normal pages of the book, which means that each page representing a fraction of the complete set is folded in half according to the line x - y of figure 3, the binding being practiced on the side of the left edge of the pages.
- the work is then presented in the form of a book whose format is close to that of a half-page of Figure 3, each plate corresponding to a fraction and called "page" being of substantially double format and having to be unfolded to be used.
- the example used here to illustrate the invention being a city map
- the central zone 5 represents traffic lanes bordered by areas constructed of buildings, the whole being on a larger scale than the complete set of FIG. 1 .
- the identification information in the case of a plan, concerns the name of the traffic lanes and, in accordance with the invention, this name is printed in dimensions such that it is always legible with the naked eye of an average user so that it does not in any case overflow onto a built-up area.
- the actual dimensions of the traffic lanes, reduced to the global scale of a central area, are too small to fully contain the name of each lane in a legible manner, the surface (width and / or length) of the lane is enlarged by taking one or more of the neighboring built areas because these do not matter for the user, it does not matter that they are not rigorously represented on the right scale.
- the numbers of the buildings are also provided in the contour of the traffic lanes but to avoid any annoying congestion, the numbers retained are only those of the buildings located at the intersections because by following a given way, it is very quickly located that the number sought is located on such and such a section of the track, between two given intersections.
- buildings are often numbered with even or odd numbers depending on whether they are located on either side of the corresponding traffic lane. In this case, we alternate an even number and an odd number, so that we enrich the information without occupying more space since the user looking for an even number determines exactly in which section of the track he is because next to the neighboring odd number is another even number.
- arrows 19 are also provided, but, unlike what currently exists, arrows 19 are strictly located at the exact location where the corresponding panel in reality is located. prohibited direction, that is to say at the intersection of two traffic lanes, where precisely the motorist must be informed.
- the user of the map can thus observe in reality, the presence of a direction sign prohibited exactly where there is, on the map, the tip of an arrow 19.
- the metro accesses 20 (the entrance only when it is distinct from the exit), are indicated in their approximate actual location on the traffic lanes themselves because they are generally clearly visible and constitute convenient landmarks for a user of the map, even if he is not also a metro user.
- ports 20 bear the name of the station and an indication of the network if there are several.
- access 20 may carry, for example, the letter "M” for the metro, "RER” for the Regional Express Network and “OR” for the Meteor network.
- bus stops 21 located at their actual location. Each of them bears the number of the corresponding line.
- the elements accessible from the traffic lanes (roadways or sidewalks) but which are located in buildings include markers which are placed in the areas bordering the traffic lanes.
- These items can be stores, post offices, banks, gas stations, parking lots, museums, etc. They are identified by the same sign as in reality:
- the monuments are generally large, it is possible to represent them in their entirety, in their more or less stylized real aspect.
- the benchmarks are either entirely on the tracks themselves, or entirely outside of these tracks, this for the sake of clarity, because this must correspond to reality: the name of a track is necessarily at outside while a post office is necessarily inside.
- FIGs 4 and 5 there is shown an embodiment of the invention according to which the work is associated with a movable strip 30, for example of cardboard, which carries on its two faces an identical scale of alphabetical marks to that of a vertical side of each page.
- the strip 30 carries a scale 31 along its right edge and is therefore identical to that on the right side of the pages.
- the strip 30 carries an arrow 32 directed to the right as well as an indication 33 according to which the user who searches for a point on a page of the work is encouraged to place the arrow 32 on the numerical scale of the top 6 margin of the page, close to the number given for the point sought, this point being exactly opposite the letter of the scale.
- This slider makes it easier to find points located in the center of zone 5, that is to say quite far from the lateral scales.
- the strip 30 On the left side, opposite the right side of the strip 30, there are divisions 34 of the scale of distances in meters and travel time in minutes for an average pedestrian.
- the strip 30 has a central space 35 which can be used either for advertising, or for indications, advice or instructions.
- Figure 5 illustrates the case where we are looking for the Stock Exchange, whose coordinates are U 29. By placing the arrow 32 in front of the number 29, we find the Stock Exchange next to the letter U of the scale 31.
- the example that we have just described of the city of Paris, provides a single scale for the fractions of the whole of figure 1. This one therefore carries a frame whose lines 1 on the one hand and the lines 2 on the other hand are equidistant from each other, so that the rectangles are all equal.
- the invention makes it possible to change scale, in particular to take account of differences in density of details, the pages of the book keeping dimensions unchanged.
- Pages 11 to 35 concern the center of the densest complex: Paris within the city walls. From page 36, we adopt a smaller scale, namely that the same page contains a larger fraction. To cover the same height as the five fractions 35, 20, 21, 22 and 23, only four larger fractions 36, 37, 38 and 39 are needed.
- a first scale corresponds to the fractions numbered 120, 130, 140, etc. around a central fraction named “PARIS” up to fraction 290; • a second scale higher than the first corresponds to the fractions numbered 315, 320, 325, etc. around the previous fractions, up to fraction 390;
- fraction 250 is aligned radially with fraction 150, thanks to which the homogeneous alignments described with regard to FIG. 7 are produced, in all radial directions coming from the center: “straight" (top, bottom, left and right) and oblique (top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left and top-left.
- FIG. 11 shows the back of a page, here page 34.
- the classification can also be alphabetical but only concerns the elements visible on the page considered.
- Each element then only includes its coordinates since it is a single page.
