BooxnxNnING.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN G. Genius, a citizen of the United States, and a.- resident of the city of Philadel hia, county of Philadelphia, and State o Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improveclosure, reference being had to the accom` inner side, and 'another a close the pocket.

Further objects of the invent-ion are to provide a simple, inexpensive book of thecharacter herein described and of such de-y able as a ments in Bookbindin'gs, of which the following isa full, clear, and complete dispanying drawings, forming .a part of this specification.

This invention relates to book bindings and more particularly to. that class in which a portion of the binding for.

One object of the invention is the construction of a forwardly opening vpocket on one side of a book and provided with a flap or' closure therefor extending freely from the forward portion of the book.

Another object is to extend the binding of the bookfree'ly from around the back there? of to form a pocket between itself and the book and within the pocket thusfy formed to secure a series of alternately folded' layers of suitable material, one layer formingthe partition for the pocket,`to secure the opposite ends of the extensions to the adjacent ends of the innermost side of `the pocket and to secure a flap to the inner side of sign and appearance as tp make it servicel prayer book, ldlary, text book or the like,

appear in the following specification. In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a book embodying the invention;

open position .and broken o'; and Fig. 5 is. a section-on theline 5 5 of Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrow. The general divisions ofthe book will be considered as comprising a to 5, bottom 6, front 7, back 8 and sides 9 an 10 respectively.

As shown in Figs. tionv comprises mainly comprising signatures and rounded to form abody portion 15` bound at the rear outwardly projectingflanges 16 and 17, of which the latter is the greater, the anges forming recesses in .which the board cover on A pocket on the other side lie.

Around the back portion of the book is secured .thebinding material 18, which passes at one side around theflange 16, for- .wardly along the outer side of theboard 19 to the edge thereof, where it is turned inwardly and terminates at apoint 20.

binding isalining 21 for theboard 19, which extends fromethe front to the back thereof, is bent at 22 and extends forwardly again to form one 'iiyleaf 23 of the book. At theopposite side 10 of the book, the binding v18 projects around theflange 17 to form a section '26, which extends forwardly toa point 27y where it is 1 and 2, the inven-f' one side and the bent inwardly to I Covering and shielding theend 20 of the inelose and secure the forward edge of afsectionof lining 28. Thelining 28 extends ,rearwardly along theinner vtio 26 of the binding to apoint 29 where nt forwardly to form aloop 30, from the `opposite 'rear extremity 31- of which it again extends forwardly to apoint 32 to yform a cover 33 for the signatures. The

loop 30 constitutes a partition for the-space betweenthesection 26 and the side 33 of thel cover. Similar to the construction on the -side 9 of the book the lining 35 f the cover 33 extends rearwardly and .is bent at '36, from which point itextends forwardly to form the ily-leaf 37.

From the construction just described, it is seen that there is formed a pocket between thesection 26 of the binding and the cover 33 on theside 10 of the book, and further, it isV obvious that the pocket is divided by the forwardly loopedportion 30 to form two adjacent compartments inolos'ed'at the 4'upper and lower ends in a mannerhereina-fter described.

The ap for the plurality of pocketsf corn'- -prises a section ofsuitable material 40 secured between the coverv33 and the `lining side of the secthereof, and extending outwardly' to a point 4l Where it is folded back upon itself, tc. `:clude the outer extreme edge of a piece o:etitl'ening material 42, Whichin turn eX- tends somewhat short of the 'outer edge of the pockets. Alining 43 is provide'd for the flap and at its outer extremity covers the inturned edge portion of thelap40 iv'hilehits innermost extremity 44 projects into the pocket adjacent to the mainfloook` feria 'iho'rt distance. Havingfseeured the #i-ap "in -a closed position to the section ofthe' -bind ing, there is provided a glove fastener-,fthe male member of which isi-secured through the section of binding 26 and the lining-28. thereof, and the.female member 5l of the fastener is secured thronglrthe flap `40, `section of stifeningmaterial 42 aiidliniiiigi. 43 thereof. v 4 v i I i rihe manner in which lthe upper and-lowerV extremities of the `pockets* are'` incloed is clearly illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4,?Whidh are views of parte of the `upperrear and* forward corners of the pockets. .Referring to Fig. 3 the back portion"of thebiiiding material ldisshown as being"itiiriied` in at its upper longit .idin l edge 55.VJ :The mate-` rial i8 also embodies a larger inwardly bent portion 5G extending forwardly fromf'the back of the book the entire length .of the pockets and Securing together the Aupper edges of thelining 28 thereof, thendouble thickness of thepartition 30,-'andf-thewtwo' thicknesses lllland (llkof the gusset, (52.1,'I`liey gusset (32 extends as shown downwardly. from, under the inwardly folded V'edge 'por-tion 56 of the forwardlyy extending ,portionofthe binding material, and is bent upwardly. toga.. point even with the upper level of ,theypor tion 56 as at 62, thus forming the gusset.y Q'Thc v inner thielcnessf (l0 of the gusset .terminates at 03, n'lule the outer thickness 61 continuent up and over the extremity 63, alsov includ-y ing the cover Bil, and is secured beneath the x.
