Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif élaboré de lutrin pour la lecture, compulsation, exposition de livres de formats et épaisseurs les plus variés assurant un confort optimum à l'utilisateur dans les meilleures conditions pour les ouvrages.
Le lutrin est traditionnellement conçu comme un simple plan continu d'appui avec rebord formant butée, les deux faces de la couverture se trouvant en continuité de part et d'autre du dos, la surépaisseur de celui-ci dû à sa rigidité entraínant un bombement variable de l'ensemble. Le dos du livre qui en est la partie la plus utilisable est excessivement sollicitée. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients.The present invention relates to an elaborate lectern device for reading, examining, exposing books of the most varied formats and thicknesses ensuring optimum comfort for the user in the best conditions for the works.
The lectern is traditionally designed as a simple continuous support plane with rim forming a stop, the two faces of the cover being in continuity on either side of the back, the excess thickness of the latter due to its rigidity causing a bulging variable of the set. The back of the book which is the most usable part is excessively stressed. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.

Dispositif formant lutrin pour présenter des livres ouverts en permettant une optimisation de la position de leur couverture, et du dos de couverture dans des plans variables, assurant une bonne planimétrie des pages exposées, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte deux plateaux avec rebord frontal pour recevoir la couverture et le dos de couverture du livre , chacun des plateaux avec des étriers de maintien éventuels pivotant sur un axe dorsal, l'espacement entre eux assurant libre jeu au dos du livre, les deux axes étant solidaires d'une traverse orientable, le dispositif étant complèté par des butées de basculement des plateaux et des ressorts assurant leur équilibrage.Lectern device for presenting open books in allowing an optimization of the position of their cover, and back cover in variable planes, ensuring good planimetry of the exposed pages, characterized in that it comprises two trays with front edge to receive the cover and the back of book cover, each of the trays with holding brackets possible pivoting on a dorsal axis, the spacing between them ensuring free play on the back of the book, the two axes being integral with a adjustable cross member, the device being supplemented by stops tilting of the plates and springs ensuring their balance.

Dispositif de lutrin caractérisé en ce que la traverse est faconnée de manière que son profil supérieur limite la rotation des plateaux.Lectern device characterized in that the crosspiece is shaped so that its upper profile limits the rotation of the plates.

Dispositif en ce que sur la traverse - ou, selon une variante non dessinée, sur les axes dorsaux - sont fixés des ressorts d'équilibrage des plateaux .Device in that on the cross member - or, according to a variant not drawn, on the back axes - balancing springs are fixed plates .

Dispositif selon lequel les extrémités de la traverse sont assujettis par un système de réglage et blocage à des piètements, le lutrin pouvant ainsi être orienté de l'horizontale à la quasi verticale.Device according to which the ends of the crosspiece are secured by a system of adjustment and blocking to legs, the lectern can thus be oriented from horizontal to almost vertical.

Dispositif caractérisé par des jambages permettant par une réservation appropriée l'adaptation d'un profilé formant lisse ou console pour fixation sur un support central ou latéral avec système de réglage en altitude par crémaillère ou étrier.Device characterized by legs allowing by a appropriate reservation adaptation of a smooth profile or console for fixing on a central or lateral support with system altitude adjustment by rack or caliper.

Disposition non dessinée où les étriers de maintien des plateaux peuvent comporter plusieurs positions de fixation des axes dorsaux permettant de varier l'espacement des plateaux. Dispositif en ce qui concerne l'adaptation aux supports d'un système d'éclairage de l'ouvrage disposé sur le lutrin.Non-drawn layout where the support brackets trays can have several fixing positions back axes for varying the spacing of the plates. Device with regard to adaptation to the supports of a system lighting of the work arranged on the lectern.

Dispositif pour assurer une butée correcte de la tranche du livre sur le rebord des plateaux par des plaquettes mobiles formant également rehausse, maintenues par un retour en cornière au dessus du débord habituel que forme la rive de couverture du livre.Device for ensuring correct abutment of the edge of the book on the edge of the plates by mobile plates also forming raised, maintained by a return in angle above the usual overhang formed by the cover of the book.

Dispositif caractérisé en ce que la traverse est constituée de deux parties reliées par un dispositif formant coulisse.Device characterized in that the cross member consists of two parts connected by a device forming a slide.

Dispositif caractérisé en ce que le ressort d'équilibrage est une lame prenant appui sur les deux axes dorsaux et formé de manière à laisser libre jeu au dos du livre.Device characterized in that the balancing spring is a blade resting on the two dorsal axes and formed so as to give free play to the back of the book.

    • Claims (10)

    1. Device forming a book-rest for presenting open books (o) by allowing optimization of the position of their cover and of the cover spine in variable planes, ensuring good planimetry of the exposed pages, characterized in that it includes two surfaces (1) with a front rim (2) for receiving the cover and the cover spine of the book (o), each of the surfaces with optional holding clamps (3) pivoting on a dorsal axis (4), the space between them providing free clearance for the spine of the book, the two axes being integral with an orientable crosspiece (5), the device being supplemented by rocking stops (B) for the surfaces (1) and springs (R) for balancing them.
    2. Book-rest device according to Claim 1, characterized in that the crosspiece (5) is shaped so that its upper profile (6) limits the rotation of the surfaces.
