  • Publication number: 20190092074
    Abstract: When a page turner is to be accommodated, a holding table is folded, and an air blowing section is rotated and moved toward a side surface of an accommodation case where a page-turning mechanism can be accommodated, whereby the upper surface of the accommodation case and the air blowing port of the air blowing section are substantially flush with each other. Also, an expansion unit is removed from the holding table, and a casing is closed to cover a page-turning main body section constituted by the accommodation case and the air blowing section and the holding table. As a result, the entire page turner is accommodated in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape whose vertical and horizontal size is equal to a vertical and horizontal size of a predetermined book. Finally, the page turner is inserted between a pair of side plates constituting leg sections in an image pickup apparatus stand.

  • Publication number: 20190092078
    Abstract: A casing is constituted by four constituent surfaces. When a page-turner is to be accommodated, a holding table for holding a book in an opened state and a page-turning main body section which turns pages of the book are accommodated in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped area formed by the four constituent surfaces. Here, in consideration of workability at the time of use, the page turner is accommodated such that the page-turning main body section is positioned on the upper side and two holding plates constituting the holding table are positioned on the lower side with the casing standing upright. The page-turning main body section is supported from below by one holding plate and the other holding plate positioned diagonally to the page-turning main body section without a special supporting means being provided.

  • Publication number: 20190092077
    Abstract: A stand installation plate that is a mounting plate for fixing an imaging apparatus stand at a predetermined angle is attached to a constituent surface corresponding to a back portion of a casing with a screw. This stand installation plate is horizontally rotatable with the screw as a rotation axis. At a predetermined position on the stand installation plate, a male screw that is a fixing section is provided. When using a page turner, a user installs the imaging apparatus stand on the stand installation plate such that the male screw is inserted into a hole formed in a bottom plate of a leg section. Then, by screwing a cap provided with a female screw into the male screw, the user fixed the imaging apparatus stand on the stand installation plate.

  • Publication number: 20190077181
    Abstract: A page-turner restricts the movement of a page to be turned by pressing a predetermined upper surface on the binding side of the page by an arm until, an end of the page starts to be caught at a page-turning end point by a catching section, in synchronization with a page-turning operation. The page turner rotates the arm so the arm enters a released state which is a substantially vertical state at timing at which the page separates from a sticking section and starts to be caught by the catching section. The page to be turned is pulled in by a page holding section while being inclined without the end of the page curling in a U shape.

  • Publication number: 20190077180
    Abstract: Support auxiliary members are each constituted by an elongate member having a triangular prism shape and extending from one end to the other end of a holding plate. The support auxiliary member is arranged between a book holder and the final page of a book at a page-turning start point, and supports the vicinity of a binding portion of the book so as to lift it from below. The support auxiliary member is arranged between the holding plate and a spine portion of the book placed on the holding plate, and supports the spine portion. The support auxiliary members form a V-shaped structure only in the vicinity of the binding portion of the book because of their shapes and installation positions, whereby the spine portion of the book is held in a downwardly curved state.
