Abstract: According to one embodiment, a booklet handling apparatus includes a take in unit to take in a booklet in a closed state, a conveying unit to convey the booklet taken in by the take in unit to a predetermined position in a first direction, a page turning unit to turn, about a stitch of the booklet, a back cover of the booklet conveyed to the predetermined position by the conveying unit, a push up unit to push up a front cover of the booklet pivoting about the stitch thereof by rotating a push up cam arranged in contact with the front cover of the booklet, a support unit to support the front cover pushed up by the push up unit, and a folding unit to fold the front cover by conveying the booklet in a second direction opposite to the first direction from the predetermined position using the conveying unit while the support unit supports the front cover.

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: The motorized page turning device automatically turns the pages of a multiple-page musical composition silently and accurately. Each page of the musical composition is attached to a respective shuttle. Each shuttle is rotatably connected to a shaft and has two opposing notches at a bore passing through each shuttle. A drive pin passes normally through a main shaft portion of the shaft and individually mates with the notches of each shuttle. The main shaft is connected to a rotational drive motor which rotates the shaft and a respective shuttle approximately 180 degrees. A linear drive sleeve of the shaft is connected to a linear drive motor which axially advances the shaft and drive pin to the next shuttle.

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: The sheet music turning system has a stack of a plurality of rectangular transparent envelopes with their closed end attached to an elongated rod. An opened slot is formed at their opened edge or at two side edges close to the opened edge. The slots are formed in offset locations in alternate envelopes. The music sheets are mounted in the envelopes sequentially. The elongated rod is pivotally mounted in a horizontal position to a lower end of a forward leaning upper frame which has a sliding arm provided at its upper end or at the two sides. The sliding arm has a finger extending over the top edge portion or two fingers extending over the two side edge portions of the stack and being slidable between the offset locations of the opened slots to cause the first envelope to flip forward by gravitational force one page at a time to display the music sheets sequentially one page at a time.

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: 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.
