Publication number: 20150239277Abstract: A page-turning device turning a page of a book includes a sticking part, an arm part and a drive unit. The sticking part sticks to the page of the book being opened. The arm part is provided with the sticking part on a top end and swings such that the sticking part sticks to the page at a departure position of the page and separates from the page at a destination position of the page while the sticking part goes to and fro between the departure position and the destination position over the page of the book. The drive unit swings the arm part around a drive shaft of the drive unit. The drive shaft is inclined with respect to a seam of the opened book and/or a plane on which the book is disposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2015Publication date: August 27, 2015Applicants: CASIO ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING CO., LTD., CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventor: Hirokazu HASEGAWA
