Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field of the Invention) This invention relates to a writing book that emits light on each page when the book is opened.

(Technical background of the invention and its problems) Conventionally, various methods have been used to make the content of a book more memorable to the reader. For example, there are books that emit light when the cover is opened, but because the parts that emit light do not match the content written on the pages of the book, even if the reader is interested at first, it does not last. There were problems such as people gradually losing interest in it, and because it was just emitting light, it had little educational effect.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was made due to the above-mentioned circumstances, and the purpose of this invention is to detect the opening and closing of a book using an open/close switch means, and to provide a driving means for driving a light emitting element to emit light. To provide a writing book which is driven so that light from a light emitting element can be seen through holes punched in the book cover or each page.

(Summary of the invention) This invention relates to a writing book, which includes a plurality of light emitting elements arranged on the back of the book,
It has a drive means for driving these light emitting elements to emit light, and an opening/closing switch means for detecting opening and closing of the book and operating the drive means, and at least one switch is provided on each page of the book corresponding to the light emitting element. A common hole is provided so that when each page is opened, the light from the light emitting element can be seen.

(Example of the invention) In this invention, when the cover or page of a book is opened, a light-emitting element such as a light-emitting diode embedded in the front or back of the back cover lights up or blinks, and the contents of the cover or page of the book are displayed. The light emitted from the light emitting element can be seen through the holes drilled in parallel,
Alternatively, it is also possible to hear sounds and the like.

Figures 1 and 2 are external views of a writing book showing an embodiment of this invention. Writing book 1 is designed to be used with cover 2 or pages open; Figure 1 shows page 4. Figure 2 shows what happens when page 6 (page 3) is opened, and writing book 1 is opened.
As you turn each page, the content is explained using pictures and a story (copy).

Here, the story is about how the weather in the mountains changes at night, and on page 4 (page 2) of Figure 1, there are pictures of mountains, clouds 7A to 7C, and stars. Weather conditions are printed in Story 5A.
In the center of this star, holes 8A and 8B are provided with light emitting diodes 20C and 20D, respectively, so that the light emitted from light emitting diodes 20C and 20D, which will be described later, can be seen.
Perforations are made to correspond to 0C and 20D. As mentioned above, on the page of Figure 2 (3rd page), there are mountains, clouds 7D and 7E, and weather that corresponds to a certain story.
and a picture of a star, and as mentioned above, Story 5
B is printed, and light emitting diodes 20B to 20D are connected to holes 8C in the center of the star as described above.
It is perforated to correspond to ~8E. Furthermore, on the back cover of this writing book 1, when the cover 2 or the page is opened, there is an opening/closing switch means for turning on and off a drive device 100, which will be described later and is embedded in the back cover 3, for example.
A detection hole 9 is provided for the purpose of detecting light with an optical switch means 11 consisting of a PnPn optical switch, a photodiode, etc., and a changeover switch 10 is embedded in the back cover 3 for turning on and off a sound generating device 120, which will be described later. ing. FIG. 3 shows the wiring diagram and hole positional relationship of the light emitting and sound generating device embedded in the back cover 3, and shows the battery 12 that supplies power to the drive device 100, and the above-mentioned light switch means 11. The above-mentioned changeover switch 10, a speaker 13 driven by a sound generating device 120 in the drive device 100, and light emitting diodes 20A to 20E blinking by a light emitting diode blinking device 110 in the drive device 100 are connected. and,
Each position of holes 8A to 8J is a light emitting diode 20A to
The holes 8A, 8D, and 8H correspond to the light emitting diode 20C, and the holes 8B, 8E, and 8F correspond to the light emitting diode 20D.
Corresponding to this, holes 8C and 8J are light emitting diodes 20B.
The hole 8G corresponds to the light emitting diode 20E, and the hole 8I corresponds to the light emitting diode 20A. Each time the page is turned, the cloud pictures are erased one by one, and the star pictures appear one by one. The light emitting diode is now visible as it blinks.

FIG. 4 shows a circuit diagram of the device explained in FIG.
A battery 12 is connected to the light emitting diode flashing device 110 via an optical switch means 11. A ring counter 112 that counts and divides the output pulses of the oscillator 111
and an amplifier 1 that amplifies the output of the ring counter 112 and causes the light emitting diodes 20A to 20E to emit light.
13, and when the light switch means 11 is turned on by opening the book, the light emitting diodes 20A to 20E are switched on in order (for example, 20A→20B→
...→20E) at a predetermined cycle. The sound generating device 120 is a battery 1
The sound generating device 120 includes a sound generating circuit 121 that generates a sound signal such as a melody or voice, and a sound generating circuit 121 that generates a sound signal such as a melody or voice. The optical switch means 11 is turned on, and the selector switch 10 is turned on.
When turned on, the speaker 13 is driven to generate sound for a predetermined period of time.

How to use this writing book 1 in such a configuration will be explained. When a reader, such as a child, opens the cover 2 or page of the writing book 1, light enters the detection hole 9 in the spine, causing the light switch 11 to turn on and drive the drive device 100.
Turn on operation. As a result, power is supplied from the battery 12 to the drive device 100, causing the light emitting diodes 20A to 20E to blink. put it here,
When the changeover switch 10 is turned on, the sound generator 120 is driven and the speaker 13 emits sound. Since the changeover switch 10 can be turned on and off as desired, it can be changed according to the reader's preference.

The reader opens the pages one after another and reads.For example, on page 4, two stars can be seen blinking from holes 8A and 8B, and according to the state of clouds 7A to 7C and story 5A, the weather on this mountain is unfavorable. I understand. Next, when page 4 is turned over, three stars can be seen blinking from holes 8C to 8E on page 6, and it can be seen that the mountain weather has improved based on the state of clouds 7D and 7E and story 5B. As described above, as the pages are turned over, the number of holes increases one by one, and the number of blinking stars increases one by one. In other words, as the pages are turned, clouds 7D to 7E disappear one by one, and a story is completed in which the weather becomes better.

5 and 6 show external views of a writing book 30 showing another embodiment of this invention, and FIG. 5 shows the cover 2 closed.
FIG. 6 shows the cover 2 opened. Fifth
As shown in the figure, this writing book 30 is normally sold with the cover 2 closed, and holes 8K to 8K are inserted through each page to the cover as described above.
8P is perforated. In the embodiment described above, the holes were drilled in such a way that they increased as each page was turned over, but in this embodiment, the holes were drilled in the back cover 3 from the beginning.
The cover and pages are perforated to correspond to the light emitting diodes (not shown) embedded in the cover. Here, the holes 8Q to 8U in the petal portions of the flower picture drawn on the open page of the cover 2 are penetrated as described above. Furthermore, in this case, hole 8
Q, 8R, 8S, 8T, and 8U are holes 8P, 8N, 8M, 8L, and 8K that are drilled in the cover, respectively.
Therefore, when the cover 2 or the page is slightly opened, light enters from the detection hole 9, the light switch means 11 operates as described above, and the light passes through the holes 8K to 8P of the cover.
It looks more blinking. Further, by switching the changeover switch 10 as described above, it is possible to arbitrarily select the generation of sound. In this way, with this writing book 30, the reader can confirm that this book is a writing book because light will emit from the cover just by opening the cover a little.
In addition to being PR, it also makes it easier to produce books.

(Modification of the invention) In the above embodiment, the light emitting diode is made to blink, but the light emitting diode may be lit continuously. Alternatively, only the sound may be emitted by selecting a switch. Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, the number of light emitting parts increases by one each time the cover or page is turned, but the number of holes on this page can be changed to the same number or any number of holes each time the page is turned. The number may be increased in increments of . In the above embodiment, the number of light emitting parts is five, but this number is arbitrary.
Further, instead of the above-mentioned optical switch means, a switch means for mechanically detecting the opening and closing of the book may be used.

(Effects of the invention) According to the writing book of this invention, each page emits light, increasing the reader's interest.
Not only does it have an excellent PR effect, but it also has the effect of increasing the educational effect because it makes a stronger impression on readers.
