Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A book comprising an integrally molded binder of a thermoplastic polymer having a spine with a substantially planar, longitudinal panel portion and a front cover panel and rear cover panel respectively hingedly mounted on opposite, longitudinal sides of said spine by means of a living hinge formed between each of said cover panels and respective longitudinal sides of said spine; and paper pages positioned in said binder between said cover panels, one edge of said pages being fastened to said planar panel portion of said spine by means of stitching or stapling extending through said pages and said planar panel portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A book comprising an integrally molded binder of a thermoplastic polymer having a spine with a substantially planar, longitudinal panel portion and a front cover panel and rear cover panel respectively hingedly mounted on opposite, longitudinal sides of said spine by means of a living hinge formed between each of said cover panels and respective longitudinal sides of said spine; and paper pages positioned in said binder between said cover panels, one edge of said pages being fastened to said planar panel portion of said spine by means of stitching or stapling extending through said pages and said planar panel portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
A book as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a rectangular, longitudinal cavity formed in the outer, rear face of said spine, the bottom wall of said cavity being said substantially planar panel, and a rectangular spine insert of mating dimensions relative to said cavity mounted in said cavity and covering the bottom wall of said cavity.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
149 words
A book comprising: an integrally molded binder of a thermoplastic polymer having a spine with a substantially planar longitudinal panel portion and a front cover panel and rear cover panel respectively hingedly mounted on opposite, longitudinal sides of said spine by means of a living hinge formed between each of said cover panels and respective longitudinal sides of said spine; and paper pages positioned in said binder between said cover panels, one edge of said pages being fastened to said planar panel portion of said spine by means of an adhesive applied between said pages and said planar panel portion; and a rectangular longitudinal cavity formed in the outer, rear face of said spine, the bottom wall of said cavity being said substantially planar panel, and a rectangular spine insert of mating dimensions relative to said cavity mounted in said cavity and covering the bottom wall of said cavity.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
149 words
A book comprising: an integrally molded binder of a thermoplastic polymer having a spine with a substantially planar longitudinal panel portion and a front cover panel and rear cover panel respectively hingedly mounted on opposite, longitudinal sides of said spine by means of a living hinge formed between each of said cover panels and respective longitudinal sides of said spine; and paper pages positioned in said binder between said cover panels, one edge of said pages being fastened to said planar panel portion of said spine by means of an adhesive applied between said pages and said planar panel portion; and a rectangular longitudinal cavity formed in the outer, rear face of said spine, the bottom wall of said cavity being said substantially planar panel, and a rectangular spine insert of mating dimensions relative to said cavity mounted in said cavity and covering the bottom wall of said cavity.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
150 words
A book comprising: an integrally molded binder of a thermoplastic polymer having a spine with a substantially planar, longitudinal panel portion and a front cover panel and rear cover panel respectively hingedly mounted on opposite, longitudinal sides of said spine by means of a living hinge formed between each of said cover panels and respective longitudinal sides of said spine; and paper pages positioned in said binder between said cover panels, one edge of said pages being fastened to said planar panel portion of said spine by means of stitching or stapling extending through said pages and said planar panel portion; and a rectangular, longitudinal cavity formed in the outer, rear surface of said spine, the bottom wall of said cavity being said substantially planar panel, and a rectangular spine insert of mating dimensions relative to said cavity mounted in said cavity and covering the bottom wall of said cavity.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
150 words
