The invention relates to a book having a multi-part binder and at least one sheet of paper in the binder. The binder has a spine, a front-side book cover pivotable around a first axis, and a rear-side book cover pivotable around a second axis. A holding apparatus detachable mounts the at least one sheet on the binder.

At least one book cover is embodied in multi-part fashion, encompassing a receiving surface fastened articulatedly on the spine and pivotable around the corresponding pivot axis. A replaceable cover element is detachably mountable on the receiving surface. At least one book cover comprises a receiving surface, fastened articulatedly on the spin and pivotable around the corresponding pivot axis, as well as a cover element. The receiving surface and the cover element are integral and the book cover is replaceable thanks to a detachable mounting of the receiving surface on the spine element.

A machine tool for producing a workpiece of predefined length includes: a frame for receiving the workpiece, which extends in a longitudinal direction and guides the workpiece in the longitudinal direction at least in part; a cutting tool for severing the workpiece in a machining position; a drivable stop element which is mounted on the frame so as to be displaceable in order to move the workpiece into the machining position; and at least one actuable slide element which is mounted on the frame so as to be displaceable guides the workpiece when the at least one actuable slide element is moved by the drivable stop element.

A book has a front cover having a first edge which is unconnected, and an opposing second edge which is connected to a spine. A back cover has a first edge which is connected to the spine and an opposing second edge which is connected to flexible joint or fold-line. The book has a third cover having a first edge which is connected to the flexible joint, that couples the third cover to the back cover, and an opposing second edge which is connected to binding. The front page is configured to fold back about the spine to retain the third cover proximal the second edge of the third cover to retain the book in a propped-up position for reading. A page holder slides along the left and right sides of the third cover and has an opening that allows a page to be pushed therethrough.

A binding mechanism including a body portion having a flange opening extending therethrough. The body portion further includes or at least partially defines a body portion opening positioned adjacent a base end of the flange. The binding mechanism has a manually deflectable flange coupled to the body portion. At least part of the flange is insertable through the flange opening from a first side of the body portion to at least partially form a loop on the first side of the body portion. The at least part of the flange is alternatively insertable through the flange opening from a second side of the body portion opposite the first side to at least partially form a loop on the second side of the body portion. The body portion opening is configured to receive the flange therethrough to enable the flange to be positioned on either the first side or the second side of the body portion.

The present invention relates to a layer structure, preferably a hinge, particularly preferably a book cover, very particularly preferably a book cover for identification and security documents, comprising at least one outer layer a) containing at least one thermoplastic elastomer, preferably a thermoplastic polyurethane, and at least one layer b) containing at least one material selected from the group consisting of a polymer, a metal, a textile, a paper and a synthetic paper, or a combination of at least two of these, and also relates to a laminate comprising the above layer structure and to the method for producing same. The invention further relates to the use of the layer structure and/or laminate for the production of a hinge, preferably a multilayer book cover, especially for security and identification documents.
