Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     This invention relates to an inlaid ornamental relief of book covers, particularly to one with a 3-dimentional condition. 
     2. Description of the Prior Art 
     Commonly, conventional book covers are mostly designed with flat printing, depicted with a mark or an ornament, looking too monotonic. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The object of this invention is to offer an inlaid ornamental relief of book covers, so as to make the book covers look livelier and more vivid than the conventional one. 
     The main characteristics of the invention are an inner cover sheet, a tray, an ornamental relief, a transparent panel and an outer cover board. The tray is glued on the inner cover sheet, provided with a printed ornamental picture. The ornamental relief is fixedly positioned on the ornamental picture of the tray. The transparent panel is combined on the tray, provided with a projection corresponding to the ornamental relief so that the ornamental relief can be restrictively positioned between the tray and the transparent panel. The outer cover board is combined on the inner cover sheet. So can the book cover of the invention be seen in a 3-dimentional condition.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     A bible cover is used as an example of the embodiments in the present invention. 
     As shown in FIGS. ˜ 3 , a first preferred embodiment of an inlaid ornamental relief of book covers in the present invention includes an inner cover sheet  1 , a tray  2 , an ornamental relief  3 , a transparent  5  panel  4  and an outer cover board  5 . 
     The inner cover sheet  1  is a first page of a book. 
     The tray  2  is glued on the inner cover sheet  1 , provided with a printed ornamental picture  21 , like a cross, and a double-sided adhesive tape  22  stuck  10  around the circumference. 
     The ornamental relief  3  is formed granular, fixedly glued on the cross intersection of the ornamental picture  21 . In this embodiment, the ornamental relief is composed of a single member. 
     The transparent panel  4  is combined with the tray  2  by means of the double-sided adhesive tape  22 , provided with a projected portion  41  and a projection  42  formed on the projected portion  41  to correspond to the ornamental relief  3 , so that the ornamental relief  3  can be restrictively positioned between the tray  2  and the transparent panel  4 . 
     The outer cover board  5  is provided with an open window  51  employed to accommodate the projected portion  41  of the transparent panel  4 , able to be glued together with the inner cover sheet  1  to become a deluxe cover. 
     With the ornamental relief  3  confined between the tray  2  and the projection  42  of the transparent panel  4 , the cross ornamental picture  21  of the tray  2  and the ornamental relief  3  can be clearly seen in a 3D condition much more vivid than the conventional ones. 
     Furthermore, as shown in  FIGS. 4 and 5 , a second preferred embodiment of an inlaid ornamental relief of book covers in the present invention includes an inner cover sheet  1 , a tray  2 ′, an ornamental relief  3 ′, a transparent panel  4 ′ and an outer cover board  5 . The  10  ornamental relief  3 ′ is composed of a plurality of granular members arrayed on a cross ornamental picture  21 ′ of the tray  2 ′. The transparent panel  4 ′ is provided with plural projections consecutively protruded to shape as a cross to correspond to the ornamental relief  3 ′, so that the ornamental relief  3 ′ can be restricted between the tray  2 ′ and the transparent panel  4 ′. 
     While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
