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: Systems for automated page turning allow users, for example musicians, to review successive pages of data, such as sheet music, and homologues, without use of their hands. Mechanical and electronic solutions enable users to actuate controllers and have pages turned in an automated fashion, including moving forward and backward to capture desired views of select aspect of the involved data, such as a particular page of music.

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: 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.
