READING MACHINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/034840
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A reading machine in which the page of a book can be turned surely through a simple operation, burden on a reader is lessened and long time reading does not cause a significant fatigue. In the reading machine (50), a supporting means (1) is set with a book while being spread, a retaining means (2) retains pages at the boundary part of left and right pages, and standing means (3, 4) retain pages at the end part of left and right pages. When an interlocking means is driven through a remote operating means at the time of turning a page, any one standing means (3, 4) of left or right page moves while retaining pages. Since a shearing force acts between the first and second pages, only one page flexes to stand up. Consequently, a turning means (5) begins to turn and enters the rear side of the standing paper plane. The turning means (5) pushes the rear side of the page and feeds it to the opposite page. At the same time, the retaining means (2) and the standing means (3, 4) separate from the standing first page.
