Description
INTERACTIVE BOOK WITH DETACHABLE POP-UP DEVICE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention [0001] The invention is directed generally to interactive books for children and, more particularly, to an interactive book with a detachable pop-up device integrated into the book.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention [0001] The invention is directed generally to interactive books for children and, more particularly, to an interactive book with a detachable pop-up device integrated into the book.
2. Related Art [0002] Various attempts have been made to introduce children to reading and make the reading experience more stimulating and enjoyable, especially for young children. It has been found that illustrations play an important role in attracting and maintaining a child's interest in reading. Hence, children's story books have been provided with large, colorful pictures illustrating the subject matter or the background thereof.
Pop-up books have been a very popular choice among parents and children because these pop-up books include hinged pop-up devices that provide surprise and amusement to the children. The ability to stimulate a child's imagination has been limited by currently available pop-up books as the pop-up devices have been physically integrated into book.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Pop-up books have been a very popular choice among parents and children because these pop-up books include hinged pop-up devices that provide surprise and amusement to the children. The ability to stimulate a child's imagination has been limited by currently available pop-up books as the pop-up devices have been physically integrated into book.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The invention improves upon commercially available pop-up books by integrating a removable pop-up device, such as a toy, mask, or other amusement device, physically into the book, which opens and/or pops out of the book as the pages are turned and the hinge of the book is opened. Once the device is popped open, it can be detached from the book and independently played with or interacted with by the child or user. In the case of a mask, it can be worn, and in the case of a toy or amusement device, it can be played with. The removable pop-up device of the invention may also be thematically related to the subject matter of the book. In this manner, the child's or user's imagination is further stimulated and enhanced beyond the normal reading experience. Once the removable device has been played with or interacted with, it may be re-attached to the book for future use/enjoyment as a pop-up feature. The invention may be implemented in a number of ways, and is not limited to books, but may be used in various other implementations.
[0004] According to one aspect of the invention, an interactive book has at least one foldable surface and an amusement device configured to pop up or open upon unfolding of the foldable surface. The amusement device includes an interactive device configured to be detached from and reattached to the interactive book.
[0005] According to another aspect of the invention, a method of using a consumer product having readable material and a pop-up device thematically related to the readable material includes positioning the consumer product such that the readable material may be seen, opening or exposing the pop-up device thematically related to the readable material, removing the pop-up device from the consumer product, playing with the pop-up device, and re-attaching the pop-up device to the consumer device for re-use.
[0006] According to yet another aspect of the invention, an interactive book includes means for folding and unfolding a foldable surface and means for amusing a reader.
The amusing means is configured to pop up or open upon unfolding the foldable surface. The amusing means comprises means for interacting with a reader, and the interacting means is configured to be detached from and reattached to the interactive book.
The amusing means is configured to pop up or open upon unfolding the foldable surface. The amusing means comprises means for interacting with a reader, and the interacting means is configured to be detached from and reattached to the interactive book.

[0013] Fig. 1 shows a pop-up book with a detachable object in the form of a mask connected thereto according to an embodiment of the invention. The pop-up book may include a conventional cardboard or paper-bound book 12 and a detachable mask 14. While Fig. 1 illustrates a book 10, the invention may be employed in any type of object having surfaces that may be folded and opened to hide and show a detachable object, such as mask 14. Thus, the invention is not limited to conventional books with pages and covers, but may be applied to any other device such as a hinged, flap-type consumer product like a greeting card that can be folded and opened. In the Fig. 1 embodiment, the product is a pop-up book 10, which is very popular among children.
[0014] The pop-up book 10 may have a number of pages with readable print, text, graphics or other illustrations thereon. Fig. 1 shows two adjoining pages 30a, 30b, which may be folded and connected to the hinge of the book along the transverse edge 28a. As is known in the art, the object 14 may be configured to open or pop out of the book when the hinge mechanism of the binding of the book 12 is opened to expose the pages 30a and 30b. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, the detachable mask 14 is folded along folding transverse lines 16a, 16b, 16c such that the detachable mask 14 may be at least partially separated and pop-out from the pages 30a, 30b when the book 12 is opened to expose the pages 30a and 30b.
[0014] The pop-up book 10 may have a number of pages with readable print, text, graphics or other illustrations thereon. Fig. 1 shows two adjoining pages 30a, 30b, which may be folded and connected to the hinge of the book along the transverse edge 28a. As is known in the art, the object 14 may be configured to open or pop out of the book when the hinge mechanism of the binding of the book 12 is opened to expose the pages 30a and 30b. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, the detachable mask 14 is folded along folding transverse lines 16a, 16b, 16c such that the detachable mask 14 may be at least partially separated and pop-out from the pages 30a, 30b when the book 12 is opened to expose the pages 30a and 30b.
[0015] The detachable mask 14 may be attached to the book 12 using an attachment mechanism, which may be any type of mechanism capable of detachably connecting the detachable mask 14 to the book 12. For example, Fig. 2 shows first fastener pieces 20a, 20b formed on the rear surface of the detachable mask 14 and Fig. 3 shows second fastener pieces 32a, 32b formed on the surfaces 30a, 30b, which may be removably engaged together to attach and detach the mask 14 to and from the book 12.
The fasteners may be any type of hook or loop-type fasteners such as those marketed under the VELCRO name. Any kind of detachable connection is contemplated by the invention including snaps, magnets, clips, post-it type glue or any other adhesive, or other attachment mechanism known in the art to form a detachable connection suitable for the purposes described herein. Also, it is not necessary to attach the detachable mask 14 to both pages 30a, 30b. For example, the detachable object 14 may be attached to oniy one page, as long as at least a portion of the detachable mask 14 is configured to pop up or open upon exposing the page 30a or 30b.
The fasteners may be any type of hook or loop-type fasteners such as those marketed under the VELCRO name. Any kind of detachable connection is contemplated by the invention including snaps, magnets, clips, post-it type glue or any other adhesive, or other attachment mechanism known in the art to form a detachable connection suitable for the purposes described herein. Also, it is not necessary to attach the detachable mask 14 to both pages 30a, 30b. For example, the detachable object 14 may be attached to oniy one page, as long as at least a portion of the detachable mask 14 is configured to pop up or open upon exposing the page 30a or 30b.
[0016] While the detachable object is shown in the form of mask 14, it may take any form of any interactive device, toy (such as a building, animal, figure, car, bus, boat, train, airplane, rocket ship, etc.), or any other amusement device. The detachable object may be thematically related to the subject matter (e.g., printed material) of the book 12 to enhance the learning experience or imagination of the child or other user.
For example, the book 12 may be about interesting animals, such as elephants or monkeys, and the mask 14 may be an attractive elephant or monkey mask, respectively, to stimulate the child's imagination and play experience. Thus, in Fig. 1, the detachable object 14 is an elephant face mask, which a child can detach from the book 12 and wear on his or her face. The openings 26a, 26b are located corresponding to the eyes of the wearer. The mask 14 may be equipped with an elastic band 24 to fix the mask 14 on the wearer's face. The elastic band 24 may be tied to the holes 22a, 22b. The mask 14 may have cut-out portions in the form of die-cut tabs 18a, 18b located near the holes 22a, 22b, which may be bent backward along the folding lines 16b, and 16c to provide more comfortable fit to the wearer's face. After playing with the mask 14, the child or his or her parent can readily reattach the mask 14 to the book 12 for re-use as a pop-up device [0017] Fig. 1 shows the fastener pieces 20a, 20b formed at the cut-out portions 18a, 18b, but the locations of the pieces 20a, 20b can be changed. The detachable object, such as mask 14, may be formed of any type of material such as paper, board, plastic and the like. Also, as should be clear from above, the detachable object 14 may be in any kind of shape or form. The detachable object, such as mask 12, also may be attached to a pop-up device that itself is attached, either fixedly or removably, to the book itself.
