To provide a high reliable page turning apparatus hardly influenced by variation of thickness of booklets, rigidity of paper and a friction coefficient, in the page turning apparatus capable of turning pages of the booklets, and to enable manufacture of inexpensive booklets by decreasing stabilizing work for the rigidity of paper and the friction coefficient.
The apparatus has a rotor comprising a high friction part as a conveying means for conveying the booklets in a specific direction and as a frictional separating means for turning the specific pages of the booklets. A push lever for bending the page to be turned over before turning the pages and giving a posture easy to be turned over, and a thickness sensor for detecting the thickness of the booklets are provided to enable high reliable page turning to be carried out.
