Abstract
A ridged paged book has an interleaved book binding that incorporates page binding couplers that extend from one page to the other along a binding side to enable each page to open and close. A cover binding coupler extends from the front and/or back cover to an adjacent page and may have a cover portion that is longer than a page portion. This longer cover portion may extend along the recess of the cover to provide stability of the cover binding. Pins extend through the covers and pages along a binding side and into the binding couplers to create a durable binding for the rigid paged book. A ridged paged book may have an interleaved book binding configured proximal to a top and/or bottom edge. A ridged paged book may be made out of metal including the covers and pages and the couplers and pins.
Claims19
A rigid paged book comprising:
- a) a plurality of pages including a front cover, a first page and a second page, each page having a page aperture extending along a binding side of said page;
- b) two interleaved book binding assemblies, each comprising:
- i) a plurality of pins comprising:
- a front cover pin;
- a first page pin;
- a second page pin;
- ii) a front cover binding coupler configured between and coupling together the front cover and the first page and comprising:
- a front cover portion having a front cover pin receiver;
- a first page portion having a first page pin receiver;
- wherein said front cover pin extends through the page aperture of the front cover and into the front cover pin receiver,
- wherein said first page pin extends through the page aperture of the first page and into the first page pin receiver;
- iii) a first page binding coupler configured between and coupling together said first page and said second page and comprising:
- a first page portion having a first page pin receiver;
- a second page portion having a second page pin receiver;
- wherein said first page pin that extends through the first page portion of the front cover binding coupler also extends through the first page pin receiver of the first page binding coupler;
- wherein said second page pin extends through the page aperture of said second page and into the second page pin receiver of the first page binding coupler;
- and
- wherein the plurality of pages are rigid and free-standing.
