Abstract: A portable, collapsible reading stand for supporting a book, magazine or other sheet reading materials includes a blank of substantially rigid material having adjacently positioned panels hingedly movable relative to one another and including a base panel, a first panel group and a second panel group. The first panel group is structured for upward and rearward sloping of a frontal panel thereof throughout a range of angular, adjusted positions relative to the base panel. The second group of panels is structured to provide a support lip adjacent a lower portion of the frontal panel, the support lip being movable through a range of angular adjusted positions relative to the frontal panel so as to support a bottom edge of the reading materials. At least one of the panels accommodates a tape flag dispenser housing for providing tape flags in order to mark pages of the reading material.

Abstract: A reading stand designed to be collapsible and therefore portable and selectively unfolded into an operative position on a supporting surface for the support and retention of a book or like object to be read in an optimum position for viewing. A copy holder for supporting the book or like object may be selectively adjustable as to its angular orientation and/or height relative to the supporting surface on which the reading stand is positioned.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a light assembly capable of being used in and of itself and in direct combination with a reading stand of a type structured to support books or any other reading material or a copy on an exposed surface of a copy holder portion thereon and further wherein the various components of the reading stand, as well as the light assembly, are selectively adjustable so as to facilitate placement of the light in an efficient illuminating position relative to a book or copy retained in supporting engagement on the reading stand.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an inflatable reading stand comprising an inflatable main body attached in air tight relation to an elongated base portion having a support edge, the main body including an exposed surface structured to support a book or other reading material thereon, the elongated base having a hand pump and hose assembly attached thereto to permit inflation and deflation of the main body whereby the angle of the exposed surface can be adjusted relative to the horizontal plane thereby allowing the user to view any reading material placed thereon while sitting in a comfortable, upright sitting position.
