Abstract: According to one embodiment, a booklet page turning apparatus includes a guide member which is provided near a vacuum pad to freely project/retreat from a plane corresponding to the suction surface of the vacuum pad, the guide member moving integrally with the vacuum pad and coming into contact with a page of a booklet at the page turning position to regulate rising of the page.

Abstract: A page turning device (10) is provided having a motor housing (12), an activator switch (14) and a book platform (16). A motor (18) is carried within the motor housing (12) and includes a drive shaft (20) that carries a spring arm (24) that, in turn, carries a wiping finger (26). The book platform (16) positioning the upper portion of a book placed thereon underneath a spring arm (24) and the wiping finger (26). The placement of a book on the book platform (16) may be facilitated by a book holder (38). When a book is placed on the book platform (16), activating the activator switch (14) activates the motor (18) and causes the drive shaft (20) to rotate the spring arm (24) connected thereto from a rest position so as to bring the wiping finger (26) into contact with the exposed top page of the book. The motor (18) continues through one cycle before again coming to rest, rotating the drive shaft (20) and the spring arm (24) and wiping finger (26) attached thereto, through 360 degrees.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to an arm adapted to be installed below a page in a book. The arm is secured to a shaft that is biased to urge the arm in a position which causes the page to be turned. A solenoid coil, operated by a battery and foot switch, releases the shaft allowing the bias means to turn the page. Spring clips carrying a frame are secured to the marginal edges of the book cover. The shaft, spring, and solenoid coil are carried by the frame.
