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 device for turning one or more pages of book comprising a plurality of pages, the device comprising: a book support; a device support for supporting: first page-flattener for flattening a first page; second page-flattener for further flattening the first page; a page ruckler for ruckling the first page to form a ruckled page having an exposed surface and an opposite, unexposed surface; a page turner for engaging with the unexposed surface of the ruckled page thereby to turn the ruckled page; positioning means for moving the device support relative to the book support.

Abstract: The inventive apparatus having page turning capability for reading assistance enables to easily turn over pages of a book by a simple operation and provides a more comfortable environment for the person who spends time on reading. To properly use an apparatus (50), set an open book on a supporting means (1), press the midsection over the right and left pages by a page-pressing means (2), and then press the edges of the right and left pages by page-turning-up means (3, 4). To turn over the page, activate an interlocking means by using a remote handling means, move either one of the right and left page-turning-up means (3, 4), and press the page surface to create a shearing force between the first and second pages so that the page can be turned up. After that, a page-turning-over means (5) starts moving and slips into the back of the page. The page-turning-over means (5) presses the page from behind and turns over the page to the other side.

Abstract: An arrangement for turning pages successively picks up each page by suction applied to a bottom corner thereof, and turns the page over a turning axis. A wireless actuator initiates the turning. The arrangement is mountable at diverse locations and is quiet in operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to using transparent page turning sheets or discs that are inserted into pages of a book or other material to turn selected pages of the book or material. Data from the pages may be recorded and/or reproduced by an associated photocopier, computer or printer device.

Abstract: This invention turns pages of music using transparent fingers that are controlled by a hand or foot pedal, which is operated by the musician. The pages are turned by a self-contained electric motor that may be powered by a lightweight battery. The device is contained in an attractive case that doubles as a music holder. When desired, the pages may be reset to any point in the music by using a reset knob and the page turner will continue to turn the pages upon command from the musician.

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: A sheet turning device for printed sheets supported on a stand which includes a transparent jacket for each sheet, a sheet turning rod secured to each jacket of the stack, the several rods extending side by side, a lever arm fixed to each rod, whereby pulling on a selected lever arm causes rotation of the associated rod and turning of the sheet to the jacket of which the rod is fixed. A set of selector members are disposed side by side and are longitudinally movable in a guide, each selector member is attached to one lever arm. A common pulling member is movable back and forth in a predetermined path under the action of an electromagnet controlled by a foot-actuated switch. The first pulling action causes the first sheet to be turned since only the selector member associated with the first sheet is pulled.
