Intermediate cover board with concealed security device for hard cover product
First Claim
1. An intermediate laminated cover board for hard cover products, comprising:
- a primary sheet having a first thickness and opposing planar surfaces and defining a receiving cavity in a selected portion of the sheet;
a security device received in the receiving cavity;
a pair of opposing secondary sheets each having a second thickness less than the first thickness laminated to the opposing planar surfaces of the primary sheet, whereby the security device is enclosed between the laminated secondary sheets of the second thickness sufficient that the assembled intermediate laminated cover board does not display surface indications of the presence of the security device therein.

Abstract
An intermediate cover board for assembly of bard cover products, in which a primary sheet having a first thickness and opposing planar surfaces defines an opening in a selected portion of the sheet. The opening receives a security device. A pair of opposing secondary sheets each having a second thickness less than the first thickness laminate to the opposing planar surfaces of the primary sheet, so that the security device is enclosed between the laminated secondary sheets that do not display surface indications of the presence of the security device. A method of making the intermediate laminated cover board and a hard cover product made with the intermediate laminated cover board are disclosed.

11. An intermediate laminated board for assembling hard cover products, comprising:
-
a central sheet having opposing planar surfaces with a length and width exceeding a first thickness, the central sheet defining an opening therethrough in a selected portion thererof;
a security device received in the opening, the security device having a thickness no greater than about a substantial majority of the thickness of the central sheet so that opposing sides thereof are substantially co-planar with respective ones of the opposing planar surfaces of the central sheet;
a pair of opposing exterior sheets, each having a respective second thickness less than the first thickness laminated to the opposing planar surfaces of the central sheet and thereby enclosing the security device therebetween, the second thickness sufficiently sized so that the laminated board does not display surface indications of the presence of the security device therein, whereby the security device enclosed in the central sheet is concealed from casual indication of its presence. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A method of assembling an intermediate laminated board for subsequent use as a component of hard cover products, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) providing a primary sheet having opposing planar surfaces with a length and width exceeding a first thickness, the primary sheet defining an opening therethrough in a selected portion thererof;
(b) laminating a first exterior sheet to a first of the opposing planar surfaces and closing the opening in the primary sheet;
(c) positioning a security device in the opening, the security device having a thickness no greater than about a substantial majority of the thickness of the central sheet so that opposing sides thereof are no more than substantially co-planar with respective ones of the opposing planar surfaces of the central sheet; and
(d) laminating a second exterior sheet to the second of the opposing planar surfaces to form an intermediate laminated board that does not display on the opposing surfaces defined by the exterior sheets indications of the presence of the security device therein. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

26. An intermediate cover board for hard cover products, comprising:
-
a primary sheet having a first thickness and opposing planar surfaces and defining a receiving cavity in a selected portion of the sheet; and
a security device received in the receiving cavity, whereby the security device is disposed within the cavity of the primary sheet for overlay by a cover liner during manufacture of a hard cover product. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
