I, JOHN GEER, trading as Orrin and Geer, Bookbinder, of Farringdon Road
Works, Farringdon Road, London, E.C., do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
"
or
"
This invention relates to improvements in "yapp" or "circuit cases, or covers
for books, and has for object to lessen the cost of manufacture of such cases or
covers and at the same time to render them more durable than heretofore. In
carrying my invention into practice I form the "yapp
"circuit" case.or cover
of two boards, composed of mill-board, straw-board or other suitable, material,
which boards are covered in the usual manner with leather, leatherette or the like.
The said boards are scored or indented near the edges around three of their sides,
the distance from the edges of these scorings being determined by the depth of the
lipping required.
"
To form the said lipping the portions of the boards between the scorings and
the edges are turned down by any suitable means. Heretofore in the manufacturo
of " yapp" or
circuit" cases or covers, six or more separate strips were employed,
in addition to the boards, in order to form the lippings aforesaid. The case or
cover of the "yapp" form has rounded undivided corners, but for “circuit" cases
or cover the said corners are divided and of square form.

Improvements in "Yapp" or "Circuit" Cases or Covers for Books.
I, JOHN GEER, trading as Orrin and Geer, Bookbinder, of Farringdon Road
Works, Farringdon Road, London, E.C., do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in "yapp" or "circuit" cases or, covers
for books, and has for object to lessen the cost of manufacture of such cases or
covers and at the same time to render them more durable than heretofore.
And in order that this my said invention, may be the more readily understood
and carried into practical effect reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet

page_text: of illustrative drawings wherein:-Fig 1, is a view of the improved case or
cover in "blank" form. Fig. 2 being a similar view of the improved case or cover
complete, while Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a book bound in the improved
case or cover.
In carrying my invention into practice I form the "yapp" or
circuit" case or
cover of two boards a, composed of mill-board, straw-board, or other suitable
material, which boards are covered in the usual manner with leather, leatherette,
or the like b. The said boards a, are scored or indented near the edges around
three of their sides, as shewn by dotted lines c, the distance from the edges of
these scorings being determined by the depth of the lipping required. To form
the said lipping d, (Fig. 3) the portions of the boards a, between the scorings c,
and the edges are turned down by any suitable means. Heretofore in the manu-
facture of
rappor circuit" cases or covers six or more separate strips were
employed, in addition to the, boards, in order to form the lippings aforesaid. The
case or cover shewn in the drawing is of the "yapp" form and has rounded
undivided corners e, but for "circuit" cases or covers the said corners are divided
and of square form.

The improvements in," yapp' or circuit" cases or covers for books, consisting
in forming such cases or covers of two suitable boards covered in the usual manner,
each board being scored or indented along three sides near the edges and turned
