Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Buch, in dem eine Ausnehmung vorgesehen ist, deren Abmessungen einer Tonträger-Kassette entsprechen.The invention relates to a book in which a recess is provided, the dimensions of which correspond to a sound carrier cassette.

Aus der US-PS 40 02 355 ist ein derartiges Buch bekannt, bei dem Ausnehmungen für Tonträger-Kassetten im Rückdeckel des Buches angeordnet sind, wobei der Rückdeckel entsprechend dick ausgestaltet sein muß.Such a book is known from US-PS 40 02 355, in which recesses for sound carrier cassettes are arranged in the back cover of the book, the back cover having to be designed correspondingly thick.

Aus der US-PS 35 83 729 ist ein Buch bekannt, bei dem ein gesonderter Rahmen erforderlich ist, in dem eine Ausnehmung für die Tonträger-Kassette ausgeformt ist. Der Rahmen ist insgesamt in das Buch einschiebbar.From US-PS 35 83 729 a book is known in which a separate frame is required in which a recess for the sound carrier cassette is formed. The entire frame can be inserted into the book.

Bücher werden häufig mit inhaltlich zugehörigen Tonträger-Kassetten vertrieben. Beispielsweise sind Sprach-Lehrbücher häufig von einer Kassette begleitet, welche den geschriebenen Text akustisch ergänzt. Aufgrund ihrer unterschiedlichen Abmessungen werden das Buch und die Kassette in aller Regel vom Benutzer getrennt aufbewahrt, so daß beide nicht mit einem Griff hergenommen werden können. Durch die getrennte Aufbewahrung wird auch das Verlegen oder Verlieren eines der Teile erleichtert.Books are often sold with content-related cassette tapes. For example, language textbooks are often accompanied by a cassette that acoustically complements the written text. Due to their different dimensions, the book and the cassette are usually kept separately by the user, so that both cannot be removed with one hand. The separate storage also makes it easier to move or lose one of the parts.

Auch beim Vertrieb und bei der Lagerhaltung des Buches und der Tonträger-Kassette wird durch die getrennte Ausgestaltung ein erhöhter Aufwand erforderlich.The separate configuration also means that the sales and storage of the book and the sound carrier cassette require more effort.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Buch so auszugestalten, daß ein zugehörige Kassette mit ihm gelagert, transportiert und aufbewahrt werden kann.The invention has for its object to design a book so that an associated cassette can be stored, transported and stored with it.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Ausnehmung den Vorder- deckel des Buches erfaßt und ihr Boden entsprechend der Dicke des Buches von einer der Seiten des Buches oder dem Rück-Deckel gebildet ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the recess grips the front cover of the book and its bottom is formed by one of the pages of the book or the back cover in accordance with the thickness of the book.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Ausnehmung mit zumindest einer etwa fingerstarken Ausbauchung versehen ist.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the recess is provided with at least one bulge that is approximately finger-thick.

Die Tonträger-Kassette ist in ihren Abmessungen auf etwa 11 x 7 x 1,7 cm genormt.The dimensions of the sound carrier cassette are standardized to approximately 11 x 7 x 1.7 cm.

Die Tonträger-Kassette läßt sich so paßgenau in das Buch einlegen, so daß sie mit diesem zusammen beispielsweise in einem Bücherregal abgestellt werden kann.The sound carrier cassette can be inserted into the book so that it can be placed together with it, for example on a bookshelf.

Bei der Erfindung ist von Vorteil, daß die Kassette direkt sichtbar ist. Dieser Umstand ist insbesondere für Verkaufsaufstellungen und dergleichen bedeutsam.An advantage of the invention is that the cassette is directly visible. This is particularly important for sales lists and the like.

Nachfolgend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Buches anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben, welche das Buch in perspektivischer Ansicht zeigt.An exemplary embodiment of a book according to the invention is described below with reference to the drawing, which shows the book in a perspective view.

Im Buch 10 ist eine Ausnehmung 12 in dessen Vorder-Deckel 14 ausgeformt. Länge, Breite und Tiefe der Ausnehmung 12 entsprechen etwa denen einer Tonträger-Kassette, betragen also 11 x 7 x 1,7 cm.In the book 10, a recess 12 is formed in the front cover 14 thereof. The length, width and depth of the recess 12 correspond approximately to that of a sound carrier cassette, ie they are 11 x 7 x 1.7 cm.

Der Boden 16 der Ausnehmung 12 wird entweder von einer der Seiten 18 des Buches 10 oder dem Rück-Deckel 20 gebildet, je nach Stärke des Buches.The bottom 16 of the recess 12 is formed either by one of the pages 18 of the book 10 or the back cover 20, depending on the thickness of the book.

An den Längskanten der Ausnehmung 12 sind etwa fingerstarke Ausbauchungen 22 vorgesehen, welche das Herausnehmen der Kassette (nicht gezeigt) aus der Ausnehmung 12 erleichtern.At the longitudinal edges of the recess 12, approximately finger-thick bulges 22 are provided, which facilitate the removal of the cassette (not shown) from the recess 12.

Auch wenn die Kassette gemäß dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung « locker" in der den Vorder-Deckel 14 des Buches erfassenden Ausnehmung 12 liegt, ist ihr Herausfallen beim Handhaben und Transportieren des Buches weitgehend vermieden, da die Abmessungen der Ausnehmung denen der Kassette angepaßt sind, so daß die Kassette nur aufgrund einer genau senkrecht zum Boden 16 der Ausnehmung 12 angreifenden Kraft aus der Ausnehmung herausbewegbar ist. Weicht die angreifende Kraft von dieser vorgeschriebenen Richtung ab, so verkantet die Kassette in der Ausnehmung und kann deshalb nicht herausfallen. Für Transport und Lagerung werden Bücher gewöhnlich mit durchsichtigen Kunststoffolien überzogen. In diesem Falle ist die mit ihrer Vorderfläche bündig mit dem Vorder-Deckel 14 des Buches in der Ausnehmung 12 liegende Kassette zusätzlich durch die Kunststoffhülle am Herausfallen gehindert.Even if the cassette according to the illustrated embodiment of the invention lies “loosely” in the recess 12 that grips the front cover 14 of the book, it is largely avoided when handling and transporting the book, since the dimensions of the recess are matched to those of the cassette, so that the cassette can only be moved out of the recess due to a force acting exactly perpendicularly to the bottom 16 of the recess 12. If the acting force deviates from this prescribed direction, the cassette cant in the recess and therefore cannot fall out. For transport and storage books are usually covered with transparent plastic films, in which case the front surface of the cassette, which is flush with the front cover 14 of the book in the recess 12, is additionally prevented from falling out by the plastic cover.

In einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann auch eine zusätzliche Sicherung der Kassette in der Ausnehmung dadurch erfolgen, daß auf dem Vorder-Deckel 14 des Buches eine Haltereinrichtung in Form eines verschieb7- oder verschwenkbaren Bügels oder auch eines KlettVerschlusses die Kassette in der Ausnehmung festhält, welche ohne die Halteeinrichtung bis auf die Oberseite allseitig umschlossen in der Ausnehmung liegt.In a special embodiment of the invention, an additional securing of the cassette in the recess can take place in that on the front cover 14 of the book a holder device in the form of a displaceable or pivotable bracket or also a Velcro fastener holds the cassette in the recess, which is enclosed on all sides in the recess without the holding device except for the upper side.
