Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a picture book capable of having a high effect on the intellectual training of a little child by making the vertical length of the book almost equal to the height of a child's eyes looking the book. CONSTITUTION:A picture book B is constituted so that each page 1 is connected at the side edge 1' with the next page 1 in a line, transversely and in a freely opening and shutting manner and the book can be folded like a Buddhist scripture and developed in three dimensions like a folding screen or rectangular tube. Also, the vertical length l of the book is about 76cm and almost equal to the height of a child C's eyes looking the book B, when the picture book is made to stand, and its width is about 50cm. Further, each page 1 is freely bent forward and backward via a connecting piece 3 equipped with a longitudinal flexible part 3' in the center and with both ends secured in the thickness of each page 1 so that the book can be used not only while spreading in a line transversely on a floor, etc., but also while standing. As a result, an object can be shown in dimensions approximating to those of an actual object and at the same height as the visual line of the little child looking the book, when the book is opened and made to stand so that a large effect can be obtained on the intellectual training.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application This invention makes the contents of the picture book more familiar to and easier for infants to understand by making the size of the book a special size close to the infant's life size. Concerning picture books for young children.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional picture books for children generally have a size of about A4 size, and even particularly large picture books are less than approximately 50 cm in size.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Conventional picture books formed into the size described above are used spread out on the floor, desk, etc. when viewed by young children, just like regular books. All of the objects depicted in the picture book are thicker than the real thing (because they are reduced in size, it may be difficult to understand the relationship with the real thing you come into contact with outside of the book.According to the observations of the inventors, picture books Even so, it has been found that by using expressions that are more realistic in size and at eye level, children can understand the content more quickly and have a greater effect on children's intellectual development.

Means for Solving the Problems Accordingly, the present invention provides a picture book for infants, characterized in that the length of the upper and lower sides is approximately equal to the eye level of the infant viewing the book. .

Function The picture book of the present invention constructed as described above can be viewed on the floor in the same way as a normal book, but when the book is opened in three-dimensional form as a two-page spread, the objects depicted can be seen standing or sitting. It is located at approximately the same height as the infant's eye level. Also,
There is a sense of realism because it is written larger and closer to the real thing,
It becomes easier for young children to relate to and understand.

In addition, in the present invention, each member of the book is connected horizontally to the next page by the side edges so as to be openable and closable, and folded into a book shape.
A picture book that can be expanded into a three-dimensional shape, such as a folding screen or a rectangular tube, has the advantage that you can play with the picture book by changing its three-dimensional form during use.

Directions are instructions for use.

This picture book constructed as described above can be used not only by being spread out horizontally on the floor, but also by standing upright as shown in Figures 1 and 4.5.6.

In another embodiment of the present invention (not shown), the book may be bound in the same way as a regular book to create a large, single-open book.

Effects of the Invention The picture book of the present invention, constructed as described above and used as described above, can draw larger pictures than in the case of ordinary picture books, and can represent objects in a size close to the real thing. Also, if you open it and stand up, you can display objects at the same height as the child looking at the book. By being used in the manner described above, young children who view this book will experience a sense of realism, the pictures will be familiar to them, and their understanding of things will be promoted, which is a great advantage in terms of intellectual education.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, B represents each member l as shown in Figure 1.2.3.
It can be horizontally connected to the next page 1 at the side edge 1° so that it can be opened and closed, and folded into a sutra book-like shape, or it can be folded into a three-dimensional shape such as a folding screen or square tube, as shown in Figure 4.5.6. The picture book is structured so that it can be expanded upon. 2 is a picture shown to each member. The vertical length l of this zero B is about 76 marks, and as shown in the above figure, it has a length that is approximately at the same height as the eye level of the child C who looks at the book B when standing up. Also, the width is approximately 50
cm. As shown in Fig. 7, each GL has a flexible part 3 vertically in the center and has both ends fixed in the thickness of each member 1, and is connected to both the front side and the back side. It is also bendable. In addition, in the figure, M is a mother's drawing when using the picture book of the present invention. The drawing shows an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the state of use, and Figure 2 is a plan view of the picture book developed. Figures 3 and 3 are back views of the same as above, Figures 4, 5, and 6 are perspective views showing different usage conditions, and Figure 7 is a partially cutaway enlarged sectional view of the real connection part with the page. It is. B...Book, L...Length, 1...Page, 2...Picture, 3...Connection piece, 3°...Flexible part, C...Infant, M...Instruction manual.

Claims (2)
