The present invention relates to an atlas, and more particularly, the inlay is connected to the upper side, the lower side, the left side, or the right side, respectively, to the two left and right sides of the atlas when it is opened. The map is printed on both the surface and the inner surface, and the face shown in the state that the inlay is folded inward with respect to the base surface, that is, the surface of the inlay is printed with the same map as the left or right base surface to which it is connected, and the inlay is relative to the base surface. The inner side of the inlay, which is visible in the outwardly stretched state, is printed with a map of the area extending from the map of the left or right base plane to which it is connected, so that the printed map on the basic planes can be seen without the inlay being unfolded. In the unfolded inlay, not only the map printed on the base planes, but also on the base planes. It relates to the atlas that allows you to view a map of the surrounding area.

In the conventional general atlas, if you want to get geographic information about a specific area, you first find the page number of the area you want from the table of contents, and open the page corresponding to that number to read the map. However, if the area you are looking for is located at the boundary of the area, and you want to get geographic information about the area that extends from it, then find the page number of the area for that area and find the page corresponding to that number. You must open and read the map. In particular, when an area of interest (especially a road) is located across the boundary of two sides of the map, it is inconvenient to read the map because it is necessary to read the map alternately in order to identify the surrounding geography of such an area. There was a ham.

For example, in the case of a traffic atlas that is often used by motorists, a map of the entire area, such as a national map, is printed at the front, and the entire area is divided into sections at regular intervals. It is given a number. Therefore, if you want to know the detailed geography of a specific area, find the section to which the area belongs and open the page corresponding to the number of the section to read the map. On the other hand, when looking at the traffic atlas, the page numbers of the printed area of the area extending from the printed area on each side are written in the margins of the top, bottom, left and right sides of each side. If you want geographic information about the area you want to read, you can find and read the page corresponding to the page number in the margin of the border.

1 and 2 are for explaining the conventional traffic atlas described above. FIG. 1 is a map showing the whole of South Korea (South Korea). The map is divided into 59 divisions and numbers are assigned to each division. This section number corresponds to the page number in this atlas, and a map of the area corresponding to section number 20 is printed on page 20 of this atlas. 2 is a map when the page 20 of the above atlas is opened, specifically, the maps of Hwaseong, Pyeongtaek, Yongin and Anseong. The top, bottom, left, and right margins of the map contain numbers "15", "25", "19", and "21", respectively, which extend from the top, bottom, left, and right boundaries. The map of the area shows the page number on the printed side.

Therefore, if you want to know the geographic information of the area extending upward from the upper boundary area of page 20 of the above map, you can expand the page number of the number listed in the upper margin, that is, "page 15", If you want to know the geographic information of the extended area, you can expand the page number of the number written in the lower margin, that is, "Page 25". Similarly, the area extending to the left is "Page 19" and the area extending to the right is You can turn to page 21.

However, in the case of the conventional atlas as described above, it is inconvenient to look at two or more sides at the same time in order to obtain geographic information of the region located at the boundary of the corresponding surface. For example, in order to obtain geographic information of the boundary area extending from the 20th page to the top, it is inconvenient to read the map alternately on the 20th and 15th pages. In particular, when a driver needs to look at a map while driving a car, it is almost impossible to alternate between maps.

In order to solve such inconveniences, the atlas proposed in Korean Utility Model Application No. 1999-9339 (Publication No. 2000-21508) is, as shown in Fig. 3, the atlas (1) to (3). The left and right sides are folded based on the fold line 6 so as to be about twice the size of the to (3), and the user can cut the corresponding area diagrams connected to each other over the entire surface of the folded to (3). Based on the fold line 6 to (3) to the left and right wide spread so that you can find the corresponding area map connected to each other on one side of the (3). However, the map proposed in the above patent application simply expands the left and right sides, and then folds it inward with respect to the fold line, and it is inconvenient to always expand the outside to see the map of the area. In addition, the above map is to see only the region extending to the left, right, there is a problem that can not be applied to the region extending up and down.

The map proposed in Korean Patent Application No. 2000-33732 (Publication No. 2000-58614) is divided into several pieces by the number of sheets when the general atlas is opened, as shown in FIG. To fold in half and to facilitate assembly and disassembly, attach a thin magnet on the front side with one side slightly smaller than a map, and fix the iron on the other side. This map is like a map divided into several cards, so it may be theoretically possible to find the card on the face then connect it to the map on the relevant side, but it is not practical at all.

Korean Patent No. 397231 relates to an atlas in which maps of each chapter are continuously connected. This patent invention proposes to improve the inconvenience of reading and carrying a map by making the atlas of each chapter consist of independent maps. In the present invention, the large map can be folded several times in the vertical and horizontal directions by various fold lines so that the size thereof can be minimized so as to be easily carried. Since this patent invention is reduced in size due to numerous folding, it is inconvenient to open the fold line one by one to see the desired map, and also takes a lot of time to fold the unfolded map back to its original state. Since it has to consume, there is a problem that gives a lot of inconvenience to use.

The present invention was devised to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and the main object of the present invention is shown in the basic planes as well as the printed maps on the base planes when the corresponding side of the map is unfolded. It is to provide an atlas that makes it easy to see maps of surrounding areas that are not present. Another object of the present invention is to expand the range of the region shown on the map according to the extent to which the map unfolds.

The basic configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object, the inlay is connected to the upper side, lower side, left side or right side respectively for the left and right two basic surfaces appearing when the atlas open, Inlays are printed on both the surface and the inner surface, the outer surface with the inlay folded inward to the base surface, i.e. the surface of the inlay, is printed with the same map as the left or right base surface to which it is connected, The inward view, ie the inner surface of the inlay, is a map of the area that extends from the map of the left or right base plane to which it is connected.

According to the present invention of the above configuration, you can see the map printed on the base planes in the unfolded inlay state, the surroundings not shown in the base planes as well as the map printed on the base planes in the unfolded inlay state You can even see a map of the area.

In addition, the present invention, based on the above basic configuration, once the map is unfolded, the map of the area that is the base of the map is visible, and the left, right and / or up and down, respectively, the first inlay connected to the folding, the basic, You can see a map of the surrounding area that is linked to the map of the area, and expand the second inlay that is folded back to that inlay so that you can see a map of the surrounding area that is connected to the map of the primary inlay. By doing so, the extent of the area shown on the map can be expanded according to the extent of the map.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5A shows two basic maps on the left and right sides, that is, the left base map and the right base map, which appear when the atlas of the present invention is opened. FIG. 5B FIG. 5A shows a further unfolded state of the left inlay 11 connected to the left base surface 10 in FIG. 5A, and FIG. 5C shows an upper inlay 12 connected to the left base surface 10 in FIG. 5B. 5d shows a further unfolded state, and FIG. 5d shows a further unfolded lower inlay 13 connected to the left base surface 10 in FIG. 5c. FIG. 5E illustrates a state in which all of the inlays folded on the basic surfaces 10 and 20 of FIG. 5A are unfolded.

As shown in FIG. 5, inlays 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, and 23 that are foldable with respect to the base surface 10, 20 are printed on both the surface and the inner surface. In other words, the inlay is folded inward with respect to the base plane and is visible from the outside, and the same map as the base plane to which it is connected is printed, and the inner surface of the inlays (ie, the inlay is outward with respect to the base plane). Page is printed with a map extending from the map of the left or right base plane to which it is connected. Therefore, with the inlays unfolded, the same maps as the printed maps on the base surfaces 10 and 20 can be seen (because the surface of the inlay is printed with the same map), and the inlays 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23) in the unfolded state (because the map printed on the inner surface of the inlay expands in connection with the basic surface), as well as the map printed on the basic surfaces 10, 20, the basic surfaces ( Maps of surrounding areas not shown in 10, 20 can be seen.

In the present invention, the sizes of the inlays connected to the base surfaces can be adjusted as needed, and in some cases, the inlays can be folded back to the inlays. However, in the case of standard atlases, continually folding inlays can not only add cost to the production of atlases, but can also make the atlases too thick, possibly resulting in atlases. It may be rather inconvenient for the user.

Therefore, in the case of general atlases such as traffic atlases, it is preferable to connect the inlays with respect to the base plane about once, and the size of the inlays is preferably not within the size of the base plane. And when using an atlas, it's common to open up the area that corresponds to the area you're looking for in advance, so it's enough to see a slightly connected area from the boundary of that area, and then to expand the geography of the wider area. It is extremely rare to look at information. Therefore, in consideration of this point, it may be practical that the size of the inlay connected to the base plane is about half the size of the base plane.

However, in consideration of the ease of production of the atlas or the characteristics of the region, the size of the inlay may be increased or reduced if necessary, and if the area outside the boundary is the sea, the inlay may not be attached. The size of the inlay and whether to attach the inlay can be adjusted according to the specific situation and needs.

The above embodiment relates to the atlas according to the present invention, but according to another embodiment of the present invention shown in Figs. 6 to 8, the inlay can be unfolded continuously so that the user can finally see a large area as desired. It can also be produced as a single map.

6a shows two basic maps left and right, namely, a left base map and a right base map, which appear when the atlas of the present invention is opened. These basic maps are printed parts of Korea's central region. FIG. 6B shows a state in which the left inlay 31 is further expanded in FIG. 6A, and FIG. 6C shows a state in which the right inlay 41 is further expanded in FIG. 6B. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the left inlay 31 and the right inlay 41 are unfolded, a map of all regions of central Korea can be seen. The left inlay 31 and the right inlay 41 have a surface (surface that looks outward with the inlay folded inward with respect to the base surface) and an inner surface (surface that looks outward with the inlay unfolded outward with respect to the base surface). All of the maps are printed, so that the inlays 31 and 41 are not unfolded, the same map as that printed on the basic surfaces 30 and 40 can be seen, and the inlays 31 and 41 are unfolded. In addition to the map printed on the base surface (30, 40), as well as a map of the surrounding area not shown in the base surface (30, 40) can be seen, which is the same as the embodiment of FIG. Do.

FIG. 6D shows a state in which the upper left inlay 32 is connected to the left basic surface 30 and the left inlay 31 in a state of FIG. 6C unfolded. As described above, the left upper inlay 32 is also printed on both the surface and the inner surface, and in the unfolded state, the same map as the printed on the basic surface 30 and the left inlay 31 can be seen. In the unfolded state, the base surface 30 and the left inlay 31 can be seen up to the map of the surrounding area. As shown in FIG. 6D, the left upper inlay 32 is integrally formed so that it can be folded by a fold line extending from the fold line of the left base surface 30 and the left inlay 31. The portion extending from the left base surface 30 and the portion extending from the left inlay 31 may be formed so as to be separated into two (in a portion having a fold line).

FIG. 6E shows an unfolded state of the upper right inlay 42 connected to the right main surface 40 and the right inlay 41 in the state of FIG. 6D. The right upper inlay 42 is also formed to be folded by a fold line extending from the fold lines of the right upper surface 40 and the right inlay 41 as well, but if necessary, the right upper surface ( The portion extending from 40 and the portion extending from the right inlay 41 may be formed so as to be separated into two (in a portion having a fold line).

FIG. 7A shows a state in which the lower left primary inlay 33 is folded unfolded in the state of FIG. 6E and connected to the left main surface 30 and the left inlay 31. As described above, the lower left primary speed paper 33 is also printed with maps on both the surface and the inner surface. The lower left primary inlay 33 is integrally formed so that it can be folded by a fold line extending from the fold line of the left base surface 30 and the left inlay 31, but if necessary, the left base surface The portion extending from 30 and the portion extending from the left inlay 31 may be formed so as to be separated into two (in a portion having a fold line).

FIG. 7B illustrates a state in which the lower left secondary speed sheet 34 is unfolded in the state of FIG. 7A. As described above, the lower left secondary speed sheet 34 also has a map printed on both its surface and its inner surface. The lower left secondary paper 34 is also integrally formed so that it can be folded by a fold line extending from the fold line at the center of the lower left primary paper 33, but if necessary, the left base surface 30 The portion extending from) and the portion extending from the left inlay 31 may be formed to be separated. FIG. 7C shows a state in which the lower left tertiary speedboat 35 is unfolded in the state of FIG. 7B. All of the matters relating to the lower left tertiary speed sheet 35 may be described in the same manner as the lower left secondary speed sheet described above.

FIG. 8 illustrates a state in which the upper inlay 42, the lower primary speed 43, the secondary speed 44 and the third speed 45 are all unfolded in the state of FIG. 7C. As such, in the unfolded state or the partially unfolded state, you can see a map of a part of the desired country of Korea, and in the unfolded state, you can see the national map of Korea.

As described above, the present invention by folding the inlay on the base surface properly, and by printing the map on both the surface and the inner surface, the map of the local area can be seen in the unfolded state without the inlay, In the state, it is very convenient to use by allowing you to see a map of a wider area, as well as to carry all the inlays, since the total volume is reduced to a minimum.

In particular, in the above embodiment of the present invention, if the map of the area centered on the base planes is printed and gradually spreads from the center by unfolding the inlays one by one, most users want the unfolded inlays without all the inlays. You will be able to see a map of the area. Thus, by varying the map printed on the basic planes according to each region, it is possible to provide practical convenience to real users. That is, in case of Seoul area, the map of Seoul area is printed on the basic planes, and in case of the Daegu area, the map of Daegu area is printed on the base plane, and in the case of Gwangju area, the map of Gwangju area is printed on the base plane. It will be very convenient for people to use.

The present invention provides an atlas that makes it easy to view not only the map printed on the basic surfaces when the corresponding surface of the map is unfolded, but also a map of the surrounding area not shown on the basic surfaces. According to the extent to expand the scope of the area shown on the map to expand, so that the inconvenience caused by the use of the conventional atlas appropriately solved, as well as convenient to carry it will be very useful.
