  • Patent number: 5575097
    Abstract: A page turning device for use with any bound pages such as books, music scores, or binders, which have small ferrous elements (14) attached to the edge of each page. The device uses a motorized arm (16) with a magnetic tab (17) mounted on the end to engage individual pages and turn them in either the forward or reverse direction. The magnetic tab (17) is raised during a page turn, but rests in a downward position between page turns so as to not interfere with manual manipulation of the pages. The device further incorporates foot actuated user switches (12,13) which control the mode of operation and cause the device to turn a page in the appropriate direction.

  • Patent number: 5367804
    Abstract: Presented is an indicating register that serves for indicating the content of magazine or the like, and having a simple and space-saving construction. Several pivotably-journaled pages each have a page appendage projecting from their pivot axis and offset relative to one another in the axial direction. A carrier unit is movable transversely to the pivot axes of the pages by means of a drive, and has several followers that are likewise axially offset to one another and additionally have a constant offset in the transport direction, and with movement of the carrier unit come into working engagement, one after the other, with the associated page appendages, and carry pages along until they run up against a previously turned page or against a stop.

  • Patent number: 4773297
    Abstract: A page turning device. Ferrous flat plate members are detachably secured to the pages to be turned of a book. A magnet member is carried by an elongate arm member that is pivotally mounted to swing in a plane. In a first embodiment, a spring member under load urges the arm member to swing in its plane to an equilibrium position, carrying a magnetically-engaged flat plate member and hence a page member with it. A stop member maintains the arm member in its nonequilibrium position until the musician desires the page to turn; a latch member is activated to transiently displace the stop member from its stopping engagement with the arm member. The musician thereafter returns the arm member to its first position. In a second embodiment, a motor causes the arm member to swing in its plane, carrying one page with it each time it travels from its first to its second position.
