[0001] This invention consists of a book or publication with a 3-D motif, of the type comprising various pages, arranged in an orderly fashion and with a certain content, joined on one side thereof by the spine of the book or publication, which is characterized in that in at least part of the book or publication an opening or cavity has been formed that comprises some attachment means for positioning, in said opening or cavity, at least one inflatable motif, relating to the content of the book or publication. BACKGROUNDS OF THE INVENTION [0002] There are various books on the market that include motifs to make it easier to understand and comprehend the book to which they are attached. [0003] In this way, Spanish Utility Model No. 131856, in the name of Mr. Jose Luis Gutierrez Diez is known, from 1967, relating to a didactic-educational device for children, which is characterized by the arrangement, that may or not form part of a book, of one or several sheets containing complete graphic illustrations, but without any details or parts, as well as the arrangement of other sheets which, in the same case, have a series of figures-transfers on a transparent surface that can be transferred on to the figure in the afore-mentioned illustration by covering those spaces that are considered the most suitable according to the subject or representation, whereby the cover sheet can position the figure on the whole first so that its effect can be observed, before rubbing the back so that the figure in question is transferred to the illustration sheet by means of paraffin-covered paper that protects said figures on the support sheet. [0004] Also European Patent No. 0832674, from 1997, is known, and its equivalent US registration (U.S. Pat. No. 5,681,199), in the name of READERS DIGEST CHILDREN'S PUBLISHING, INC., which relates to a book in which one or more covers or pages are bound using a binding method that is adapted to receive a tube and a play figure which extends in a removable fashion inside the tube. The play figure has a top part and a hook element. An activity device is also supplied with the book. The activity device is activated so that the play figure is extended within the tube, using the bottom part of the play figure. A musical device could be provided inside the tube to produce a sound for a certain length of time after the activity device has been activated. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0005] This invention is the result of research conducted by the inventor in the field of education and bibliography, in an attempt to combine in one and the same book or publication, and also in a permanently visible fashion, various elements that are essential for understanding said book or publication. [0006] Everybody will admit that when reading a history or geography book or publication, for example, it is very useful to have a globe nearby so as to identify the country or continent in question that is referenced in said text. [0007] It is also known that, on occasions, when reading a book or publication on anatomy, it is necessary to have an anatomy manual or atlas nearby so as to identify each part of the body as per the contents in the volume being read. [0008] The inventor considers the case in which said globe, atlas or manual is not available at that moment, and so the actual book or publication must provide said information, either at the end of the book or publication, or by means of an appendix. [0009] Both solutions are awkward, as they distract from reading, and if we consider this occurring with younger readers, a small distraction can lead to a lack of concentration on reading and the excuse or reason given for stopping to read the book or publication at that moment. [0010] Therefore the inventor has developed a new book or publication that solves the afore-mentioned problems, as it is the actual book or publication that contains said globe, atlas or graphical element in a way that it is permanently visible, and therefore it is not necessary to stop concentrating on the book or publication, as the information the reader may require is on view at all times. [0011] Furthermore, children can consider this to be an entertaining toy, with the book or publication therefore becoming much more interesting to read, as without realizing it, children are receiving information visually from said inflatable motif. [0012] An object of this invention is a book or publication with a 3-D motif, of the type comprising various pages, arranged in an orderly fashion and with a certain content, joined on one side thereof by the spine of the book or publication, which is characterized in that in at least part of the book or publication an opening or cavity has been formed, comprising attachment means for positioning, in said opening or cavity, at least one inflatable motif, relating to the contents of the book or publication. [0013] Said inflatable element can be removable and therefore, after being used, it can be kept in a box or container suitably sized to fit in the opening or cavity in the book or publication, and in this way the book or publication is completely uniform and said box or container does not protrude from it. [0014] The simplicity and adaptability of this book or publication, as well as its versatility, together with the visual effect it has on the reader, exploit this invention to the full. [0015] Moreover in the same book it is possible to place means for lighting to allow the lighting of the inflatable motif. [0016] In addition, it is possible to configure the book with activating means (for example a small motor with batteries) that can allow the rotation of the motif. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0017] Two sheets of drawings are attached to this specification to facilitate the explanation thereof, which illustrate a practical embodiment that is referenced merely as a non-limiting example of the scope of the invention, in which: [0018] FIG. 1 is a general view of the object of this invention, and [0019] FIG. 2 is a view of the book or publication closed with the box or container housing the inflatable motif. [0020] FIG. 3 is a view of the book or publication with the box or container out of the book. CONCRETE EMBODIMENT OF THE APPLICATION Continue reading...
