Abstract
An educational book providing interaction between graphic information contained on reference elements rotatably attached to a base leaf and a second set of graphic information contained on apertured leaves. The apertured leaves superimpose the base leaf and reference elements, such that the apertures are visually aligned with the reference elements. The second set of graphic information areas are juxtaposed with respect to the apertures of the leaves to combined with the graphic information of the reference elements visible through said apertures. To maintain this alignment, the apertured leaves and base leaf are rotatably bound together at one end by a binding mechanism.
Claims15
An educational book providing interaction between graphic information contained on reference elements with graphic information contained on apertured leaves, said book comprising:
- a base leaf;
- a plurality of reference elements of varying size, each containing graphic information, the reference elements being rotatably mounted on the base leaf in succession, each reference element being smaller than the reference element behind it;
- a plurality of apertured leaves containing a second set of graphic information juxtaposed with respect to the apertures, said leaves in register with and overlying the base leaf with the apertures visually aligned with the reference elements, the reference elements being rotatable with respect to each other and the leaves;
- and
- binding means binding said apertured leaves and base leaf together at one end.
An educational book providing interaction of graphic information contained on reference elements graphic information contained on apertured leaves, said book comprising:
- a base leaf having a front side and back side;
- at least one reference element containing graphic information rotatably attached to the base leaf front side;
- at least one reference element containing graphic information rotatably mounted to the base leaf back side;
- a first plurality of apertured leaves having graphic information areas juxtaposed with respect to the apertures, said leaves in register with and overlying the base leaf front side with the apertures visually aligned with the front side mounted reference element;
- a second plurality of apertured leaves having graphic information areas juxtaposed with respect to the apertures, said leaves in register with and overlying the base leaf back side with the apertures visually aligned with the back side mounted reference elements;
- and
- binding means binding said apertured leaves and base leaf together at one end.
An educational book providing interaction of graphic information contained on reference elements with graphic information contained on apertured leaves, said book comprising:
- a front cover;
- a back cover;
- a first plurality of reference elements of varying size, each containing graphic information, coaxially rotatably mounted to the inside of the front cover in succession, each reference element being smaller than the reference element behind it;
- a second plurality of reference elements of varying size, each containing graphic information, coaxially rotatably mounted to the inside of the back cover in succession, each reference element being smaller than the reference element behind it and further being in register with the front cover mounted first plurality of reference elements;
- a plurality of apertured leaves having graphic information juxtaposed with respect to the apertures, said leaves in register with and interposing the front and back cover with the apertures in register with the front and back cover reference elements, each reference element of the first and second plurality of reference elements being rotatable with respect to the other reference elements and the apertured leaves;
- and
- binding means binding said apertured leaves, front cover and back cover together at one end.
