Abstract

Abstract A display book for table settings of preselected patterns of silverware, china, and crystal is presented. The book includes a cover, at least one fly-leaf, and a binding containing three separate sets of independently paged leaves, said leaves adapted to have indicia and illustrations printed on the surfaces thereof, the front surface of each leaf in each of said sets bearing a different illustration of representative pieces of a preselected silverware, china, or sterling pattern on a simulated table background, the reverse surface of each leaf in each section bearing informative information and illustrations of additional representative pieces of the corresponding pattern shown on front surface of the adjacent leaf so that when said book is opened a table setting of silverware, china, and crystal in preselected patterns is displayed for primary emphasis while the reverse surfaces of the adjacent leaf sections display identifying information and illustrations of other representative constituents of said patterns for secondary emphasis in a unitary display.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 492 words
A plurality of changeable, simulated displays portraying, selectively, in composite form, table settings of silver ware, china, and crystal patterns together with identifying information about each pattern comprising: a cover; at least one flyleaf; and a binding extending longitudinally along an edge thereof, and containing three separate sets of independently paged, rectangular leaves, said sets of leaves being disposed along said binding in a side-byside relationship, said leaves adapted to have indicia and illustrations printed on the surfaces thereof; a front surface of each of said leaves in said first set bearing a a different illustration of representative pieces of preselected silver ware patterns on a simulated table surface background, the reverse surface thereof having indicia and illustrations thereon corresponding to the pattern illustrated on the opposing front surface of thead adjacent leaf, said indicia identifying said silver ware pattern and the constituents of a place setting thereof and said illustrations depicting a six-piece setting of the silver ware pattern illustrated on the front surface of the adjacent leaf; a front surface of each of said leaves in said second set bearing a different illustration of representative pieces of preselected china patterns on a simulated table surface background, a reverse surface thereof having indicia and illustrations thereon corresponding to the pattern illustrated on the opposing front surface of the adjacent leaf, said indicia identifying said china pattern and the constituents of a place setting thereof, and said illustrations depicting the coffee, cream, and sugar containers of the china pattern illustrated on the opposing front surface of the adjacent leaf section; a front surface of said leaves in said third set bearing a different illustration of a representative piece of preselected crystal patterns on a simulated table surface background, a reverse surface thereof having indicia and illustrations thereon corresponding to the pattern illustrated on the opposing front surface of the adjacent leaf, said indicia identifying said crystal pattern and the constituents of a place setting thereof, and said illustration depicting a fourpiece place setting of the crystal pattern illustrated on the opposing front surface of the adjacent leaf section; the reverse surface of said flyleaf having indicia and illustrations thereon aligned with and corresponding to the patterns of silver ware, china, and crystal illustrated on the front surface of the first leaf in each of said leaf sections, said indicia identifying each of said patterns and the constituents of a place setting thereof and said illustrations depicting the shape of representative pieces; said indicia and illustrations on said flyleaf and leaves being oriented for viewing when said binding extends laterally across the line of sight whereby when said three sets of leaves are opened for view a combined table setting of preselected patterns of silver ware, china, and crystal are provided on the front surface thereof while identifying indicia and representative illustrations of of shapes are also provided on the opposing reverse surface of of the adjacent leaf sections for a unitAry display.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 492 words
A plurality of changeable, simulated displays portraying, selectively, in composite form, table settings of silver ware, china, and crystal patterns together with identifying information about each pattern comprising: a cover; at least one flyleaf; and a binding extending longitudinally along an edge thereof, and containing three separate sets of independently paged, rectangular leaves, said sets of leaves being disposed along said binding in a side-byside relationship, said leaves adapted to have indicia and illustrations printed on the surfaces thereof; a front surface of each of said leaves in said first set bearing a a different illustration of representative pieces of preselected silver ware patterns on a simulated table surface background, the reverse surface thereof having indicia and illustrations thereon corresponding to the pattern illustrated on the opposing front surface of thead adjacent leaf, said indicia identifying said silver ware pattern and the constituents of a place setting thereof and said illustrations depicting a six-piece setting of the silver ware pattern illustrated on the front surface of the adjacent leaf; a front surface of each of said leaves in said second set bearing a different illustration of representative pieces of preselected china patterns on a simulated table surface background, a reverse surface thereof having indicia and illustrations thereon corresponding to the pattern illustrated on the opposing front surface of the adjacent leaf, said indicia identifying said china pattern and the constituents of a place setting thereof, and said illustrations depicting the coffee, cream, and sugar containers of the china pattern illustrated on the opposing front surface of the adjacent leaf section; a front surface of said leaves in said third set bearing a different illustration of a representative piece of preselected crystal patterns on a simulated table surface background, a reverse surface thereof having indicia and illustrations thereon corresponding to the pattern illustrated on the opposing front surface of the adjacent leaf, said indicia identifying said crystal pattern and the constituents of a place setting thereof, and said illustration depicting a fourpiece place setting of the crystal pattern illustrated on the opposing front surface of the adjacent leaf section; the reverse surface of said flyleaf having indicia and illustrations thereon aligned with and corresponding to the patterns of silver ware, china, and crystal illustrated on the front surface of the first leaf in each of said leaf sections, said indicia identifying each of said patterns and the constituents of a place setting thereof and said illustrations depicting the shape of representative pieces; said indicia and illustrations on said flyleaf and leaves being oriented for viewing when said binding extends laterally across the line of sight whereby when said three sets of leaves are opened for view a combined table setting of preselected patterns of silver ware, china, and crystal are provided on the front surface thereof while identifying indicia and representative illustrations of of shapes are also provided on the opposing reverse surface of of the adjacent leaf sections for a unitAry display.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 71 words
The display book of claim 1 wherein said binding includes a plurality of ring fasteners disposed along the inside surface of said cover at the juncture of the front and back portions thereof, said fasteners adapted to engage said leaves at an edge thereof, said fasteners controlled by at least one detent lever so that when said lever is detented to a first position said rings open to disengage said leaves.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 52 words
The display book of claim 1 wherein said binding includes a plurality of fasteners disposed along said cover at the juncture of the front and back portions thereof, said fasteners adapted to pass through said cover and engage said leaves at a central portion thereof to retain said leaves in said cover.
