Apparatus having page turning capability for reading assistance
US-7541533-B2Abstract
The inventive apparatus having page turning capability for reading assistance enables to easily turn over pages of a book by a simple operation and provides a more comfortable environment for the person who spends time on reading. To properly use an apparatus ( 50 ), set an open book on a supporting means ( 1 ), press the midsection over the right and left pages by a page-pressing means ( 2 ), and then press the edges of the right and left pages by page-turning-up means ( 3, 4 ). To turn over the page, activate an interlocking means by using a remote handling means, move either one of the right and left page-turning-up means ( 3, 4 ), and press the page surface to create a shearing force between the first and second pages so that the page can be turned up. After that, a page-turning-over means ( 5 ) starts moving and slips into the back of the page. The page-turning-over means ( 5 ) presses the page from behind and turns over the page to the other side. At the same time, the page-pressing means ( 3, 4 ) run off the first page already turned up.
