Definitions
- the present invention relates to an album as set forth in the preamble of claim 1.
- the modern photo technology offers the possibility to conceive an album at a level of a plurality of cardboard sheets, on each one of which the images are directly printed without any protection between the front pages.
- Another interesting feature is to realize an album on each page of which, for all album pages, no swelling is allowed in correspondence of the common central line of two adjacent pages.
- the main problem, which the album according to the invention intends to solve is to conceive an album at the level of a book, which could be fanned every time of a plurality of pages, each one of which is made of a cardboard where a photo is printed. In addition it could be possible to print just one photo or image on the sides of two adjacent pages.
- the structure of the album should be robust, original and no more repeatable if not by its manufacturer.
- a further problem, which the album according to the invention intends to solve, is given by the possibility, whenever the album is opened in correspondence of any page of the album, that the adjacent pages are coplanar, i.e. are lying on the same plane.
- the album according to the invention which is characterized by substantially coplanar maintaining means of two opened sheets of the album, both during the album opening and closing operations.
- the album according to the invention is manufactured by means of a gluing operation on a selfadhesive paper sheet or film 1 (Fig.1) of a cardboard 2, which comprises two adjacent sides 3, on each one of which photos, photo compositions, images and the like are already printed thanks to the digital technology.
- a cardboard whose weight in grams is equal to about 160 gr.
- a cardboard represents the two sides of two adjacent pages, on which two distinct photos, or two images or just one photo or image, which occupies the entire surface of the two adjacent pages, may be printed.
- the rule is to realize a surmont 4 of about 0,5 cm., i.e. to overlap 0,5 cm.the left side of the right photo on the right side of the left photo for the reasons, which will be explained later on.
- the cardboard which contains the single or double photo or image
- the cardboard is ribbed, i.e. a 2 mm.large groove 6 is obtained, which longitudinally crosses the whole cardboard in correspondence of a line, which is parallel to the central line of the two photos and is arranged rightwards about 1 mm. with respect to the central line.
- the groove 6 should brake off the continuity of the cardboard fibers, allowing in such away the simple opening and the closing of the album pages. Consequently two adjacent pages lie on a substantially coplanar plane during the album consultation.
- the 1 mm. distance of the groove 6 allows no damage to the photo, which is placed rightwards, avoiding its coming out in correspondence of the surmont area, whereas it could be quite unuseful if just one photo was arranged on the two adjacent pages.
- the cardboard which is arranged on the selfadhesive sheet, is fold thanks to a folding machine, which folds the cardboards in correspondence of their rib, causing in such away the overlap of the two adjacent parts of the cardboard.
- each cardboard which is fold into two sheets, represents a module 7 (Fig.2), i.e. the starting element for the album page shapings.
- Fig.2 a module 7
- all the modules, which are duly folded, are arranged one on the following, according to the prearranged sequence and to the right way for the composition of the album pages. Therefore each album page is the result of the two module overlapping, in such a way that the first part of a module, which comprises a cardboard covered with the selfadhesive paper or film, is overlapped by the second part of the adjacent module.
- Such an adjacent module is covered itself with a selfadhesive sheet or film. Consequently the album is prearranged to comprise the choosen plurality of pages, each one of which comprises:
- the pre-album modules could't be glued after such an operation in a perfect way in the sense that, for instance, a structure was obtained, which represents something more similar to a concertina than a whole organic structure as far as the album back 10 is concerned. Therefore:
- Fig.7 shows the album opened in correspondence of about half of its pages and how the album sheets are behaving during the progressive opening or closing operations of the album pages.
- the album is leaning on a plane 22 and whenever a sheet 26 of the album is opened (i.e. whenever a sheet 26 is turned from right to left of the album), it arrives to lean on all the sheets, which are weighing on the cover 15. Consequently an action is substantially applied in correspondence of half of its width and is added to the weight of the already opened sheets.
- the problem is to arrive to maintain coplanar the arrangement of the opened sheets whenever a further sheet is opened (or closed, as it will explained later on).
- the new sheet exerts on all the opened sheets and theferore on the cover 15 an action, which could be distributed along all the width of the cover.
- FIG.7 schematically shows what happens just when a further sheet 26 is turned from right to left and arrives to weigh on the other sheets, which lean on the cover 15.
- the horizontal component H 1 slightly slides leftwards to the new position 15' of the cover 15 on the plane 22, whereas the vertical component V 1 substantially acts in correspondence of the point the leather tract 20, which is connected to the cardboard tract 17. Therefore the component V 1 produces by means of an arm b 1 a moment M 1 (Fig.8a), which causes an upward action F 1 by means of the tract 18 of the L-shaped cardboard.
- Such an upward action F 1 allows the upward sheet, which is arranged rightwards on the cover 16, to substantially maintain the coplanar position with the last sheet, which is arranged leftwards on the cover 15.
- Fig.7 schematically shows what happens just when a sheet 26 is turned from left to right and arrives to weigh on the other sheets, which lean on the cover 16.
- the horizontal component H 2 makes the cover 16 slightly slide leftwards to the new position 16' on the plane 22, whereas the vertical component V 2 substantially acts in correspondence of the end point the L-shaped tract of the cardboard 18, and causes a moment M 2 (Fig.8a), which causes thanks to the rigid property of the cardboard 17 an upward action F 2 in correspondence of the point X, which maintains the substantially coplanar position with the last sheet, which is arranged rightwards on the cover 16.
- the value of the action which a cardboard sheet exerts on one or on another side of the album, can be easily evaluated taking into account that the weight of a sheet is equal at least to 500-600 gr/sm.
- the so evaluated weight allows to choose the elastic/rigid properties of the cardboard, which is adpted to outline the L-shaped tracts 17,18.
- each album sheet 26, the tract 17,18 of the cardboard, the album back 19, the action F 1 represent the substantially coplanar maintaining means of two opened sheets of the album 21 during its progressive opening operation.
- the album 21 shows, while its sheets are progressively subjected to an opening operation, a progressive raising of the right side of the album in such a way that the coplanar arrangement of two opened sheet is ensured.
- each album sheet 26, the tracts 17,18 of the cardboard, the back 19 of the album 21, the action F 2 represent the substantially coplanar maintaining means of two opened sheets of the album 21 during its progressive closing operations.
- FIG.9 shows a more simple and economic solution with respect to what represented in Fig.1. Indeed, whenever time and material costs should be saved, it is possible to provide a sheet 27, which could be made of a selfadhesive paper sheet or film (Fig.1).
- Such a paper or sheet is adapted to cover not the entire boardcard 28, but just its right side 29 (therefore about substantially 50% of the surface of the boardcard) by exploiting the substantially stronger adhesivity of this paper or sheet with respect to the sheet or film 1, as it will be explained later on.
- the module 7 becomes now a module, where just one side, i.e. the right one, is adapted to be selfadhesive and therefore to glue the left side of the next boardcard assuring in such a way a lower cost of material as well as a lower cost of a new pre-album 32 (Fig.10).
- a further advantage of the second embodiment of the album according to the invention is represented by the fact that the weight of each page of the album could arrive now to about 400 gr/sm allowing in such a way that the album could contain more pages and therefore more photos with respect to the first embodiment, the whole weight of the album being practically the same as before.

Abstract
Description
- a gauze should be glued with rubber solution in correspondence of the
longitudinal extension of the
back 10 in such a way that said initial album structure could present a substantial resistance to the the stress of the album sheets whenever the album is opened. Indeed the pre-album structure, which was obtained up to now, is already substantially strong, as each sheet is made of two cardboards, to eachone of which a selfadhesive film is applied. In addition on said film a rubber solution is applied in order to glue on it a further film, which belongs to next module, which adheres to the previous module. The gauze applied on the back is therefore substantially soft in the sense that the structure is already substantially rigid. On the contrary the structures of the traditional albums provide a substantially rigid gauze on their backs as the various cardboards, which represent the sheets on which photos are glued are not yet rigidly connected each one to the other with the consequence that the whole structure should be strengthened. The album according to the invention provides that gauze, which should be glued to the album back 10 of the glued modules, should be substantially rigid according to the transverse direction , whereas it should be slightly pliable according to the album longitudinal direction. Such a property is easily obtained with the medical gauze; - a "flyleaf", i.e. the first usually black paper is glued with rubber solution on the first module film;
- a "handband" is glued around the end of the top and of the bottom of the back 10,
which is represented by a
grained ribbon 14; - a
reinforcement cardboard 17,18 is arranged on theback 19 of thefront cover 15 and of theback cover 16 before gluing thecover - a) a millboard is taken, which provides a substantial rigidity as well as a substantial elasticity;
- b) said millboard is folded giving in such a way to its transverse section a
substantially L-shape profile, i.e. a profile made of a
tract 17, which could cover theback 19 of thecover rear cover 16. The Fig.7 shows aleather tract 20, which extends from the back 19 so that it can follow upwards the rounded profile of thecover 15, on which it leans without any glue; - c) the
tract 17 of the cardboard is glued by means of a rubber solution with solvent and not with water (for reasons, which will be explained later on) on theback 19 of the cover, whereas the tract 18 is glued to the tract of the back 19, which is connected to thecover 16; - d) at last the cover is glued on the pre-album visually making sure that the front and the back are centred with regard of the "flyleaf".
- the whole (covers 15,16 as well as the back 19 on the pre-album so that a
real album 21 is ready) is closed with the advantage that using rubber solution with solvent and not with water, make substantially reduces the time necessary for glue drying, as well as that the album doesn't require any pressing process, which is required whenever the glue is diluted in water, as the water implies some time for completing its evaporation and in addition causes ondulations on the glued surfaces.
- at first the action, which is exerted by the substantial weight of each
sheet 26; - then the rigidity component of the
cardboard tract 17, which component is practically increased by the cover back 19, which is glued to thetract 17, whenever thetract 17 was subjected to a substantially reduced elastic deformation due to the whole weight of the sheets on thecover 15; - at last the upward action F1, which is exerted by the cardboard tract 18, which could become substantially rigid thanks to the leather of the back 19.
