Claims
- 1. An integrated book lining to be applied to a spine and end sheets of a book for securing book pages prior to casing-in the book with a cover, the book lining being an integral one-piece unit formed from a single sheet of substantially flat strip stock and comprising a generally rectangular sheet having opposite longitudinal ends folded toward one another with inner surfaces at each respective longitudinal end of the sheet being in confronting bonded relation to one another, the sheet having a folded length between its opposite longitudinal ends substantially equal to a length of a book spine to which the lining is to be applied, the sheet having a width between opposed side edges thereof which width is less than its folded length, the sheet having a longitudinally extending intermediate portion of a predetermined uninterrupted width substantially equal to the width of a book spine to which the lining is to be applied, and opposed side flaps respectively extending in opposite directions laterally beyond said intermediate portion and the opposed side edges of the sheet to be applied to end sheets of a book, and the corners of each of the side flaps of the sheet being relieved with corner cutouts defining each longitudinal end of said intermediate portion of the sheet of said predetermined uninterrupted width between the corner cutouts, said longitudinal ends of said intermediate portion of the sheet respectively having an outer surface printed with a simulated headband.
- 2. The lining of claim 1 wherein the strip stock comprises a tough, lightweight, durable sheet exhibiting dimensional stability with good printability and ink adhesiveness.
- 3. The lining of claim 1 wherein the strip stock is spunbonded olefin.
- 4. The lining of claim 1 wherein a bead of adhesive extends along a fold line at each longitudinal end of the sheet to provide bulk to each simulated headband.
- 5. The lining of claim 1 wherein the sheet material is impervious to glue, and wherein the side flaps are each perforated to provide glue penetration.
- 6. An integrated book lining formed from a single sheet of substantially flat strip stock and comprising a generally rectangular sheet of tough, lightweight, durable impervious spunbonded olefin material exhibiting dimensional stability with good printability and ink adhesiveness, the sheet having printed simulated headbands at its opposite longitudinal ends, the corners of the sheet being relieved with corner cutouts and having an uninterrupted width at each longitudinal end of the sheet between the corner cutouts substantially equal to the width of a book spine to which the lining to be applied, the ends of the sheet being folded with inner surfaces in confronting bonded relation to one another, the sheet having a folded length substantially equal to a length of a book spine to which the lining is to be applied, the sheet having opposed side flaps each extending laterally beyond the longitudinal ends of the sheet between the corner cutouts on their respective side of the sheet, the side flaps each being perforated to provide glue penetration.
- 7. The lining of claim 1 or claim 6 further including a cord extending along a fold line at each longitudinal end of the sheet to provide bulk to each simulated headband.
- 8. The lining of claim 6 or claim 5 wherein the side flaps are each perforated to provide about 50% permeability of the side flap material.
- 9. An integrated book lining to be applied to a spine of a book for securing book pages prior to casing-in the book with a cover, the book lining being an integral one-piece unit formed from a single sheet of substantially flat strip stock and comprising a generally rectangular sheet of tough, lightweight, durable spunbonded olefin material exhibiting dimensional stability with good printability and ink adhesiveness, the sheet having opposite longitudinal ends folded toward one another along a fold line with inner surfaces at each respective longitudinal end of the sheet being in confronting bonded relation to one another, the sheet having a folded length between fold lines at its opposite longitudinal ends substantially equal to a length of a book spine to which the lining is to be applied, the sheet having a predetermined width between opposed side edges thereof which width is less than its folded length and is substantially equal to the width of a book spine to which the lining is to be applied, the longitudinal ends of the sheet respectively having an exposed outer surface printed with a simulated headband along opposite sides of its fold line to form a continuous simulated headband pattern along each exposed longitudinal end of the sheet, and means extending along the fold line at each longitudinal end of the sheet to provide bulk to each simulated headband.
- 10. The lining of claim 9 further including a cord extending along a fold line at each longitudinal end of the sheet and comprising said means to provide bulk to each simulated headband.
- 11. The lining of claim 9 further including a bead of adhesive extending along a fold line at each longitudinal end of the sheet and comprising said means to provide bulk to each simulated headband.
