Description

Support device for reading.

The present invention relates to a device that adapts to the size of the book allowing its reading keeping the book open, facilitating both reading and Query working like a music stand.

The use of elastic material allows the passage of pages without difficulty keeping the book open throughout moment without forcing binding.

Its design allows folding when not in use reducing its dimensions, as well as its use as a marker of pages.

Background of the invention

Other stands of analogous purposes are known that allow you to keep the book open for reading but its great volume prevents transporting it comfortably or keeping it with just one hand comfortably while consulting the book. The present invention has been conceived and realized in order to obtain numerous and remarkable advantages to be used by the reader in any position, its low weight, the folding and its use as a marker of pages.

Description of the invention

The device consists of two plates of thermoformed plastic material in compact anti-shock polycarbonate joined together at one end and by an elastic cord at the other. The two plates are symmetrical with a slightly average length greater than the average width of the books and with a width that makes it manageable and a thickness such that it does not bulge to be introduced between the pages of the book when used as a record of pages. The plates are joined at one end by a bolt through a hole that allows its clamping and opening of the sheets and maintains the tension necessary for its operation. The other ends of the plates each have a milled groove of the width necessary to facilitate the introduction of the anchors of the tips of the elastic cord.

The "Support device for reading" once closed it can be used as a bookmark entering the page you want to register between the legs of the closed device The small volume occupied by the device does not It affects book binding. Being formed by material flexible and elastic as polycarbonate has a high resistance to breakage facilitating the operation of introducing the book to function as a lectern

Device use

The device with the attached sheets serves as bookmark

For use as support for reading or open book query you have to open the angle the sheets of the device approximately 120º and the open book is introduced between the sheets and the elastic cord. The device is rotated about itself in order to give the desired tension depending on the thickness of the book and the device is closed to the desired angle. In this way the book is slightly open allowing the Reading and consulting your pages.

The device can be held with just one hand and allows reading and turning pages easily without have to read while maintaining finger pressure on the book to keep it open while reading. Or you can leave rest the whole set on a table or similar. The device will keep the book open while we consult recipes, manuals use, exploded parts of machinery and in all those cases in those who need to keep the book open while using Hands to manipulate other objects.

The small milled groove at the ends of the device serves to insert the ends of the cord elastic.

It is planned that both sides of the device allow to be used for information prints or advertising, graduated brands to serve as a rule, etc.

The device does not alter or modify the features of the book or its binding allowing its use for all types of binding that has an eyebrow.

Brief description of the drawings

For the best understanding of how much is left described herein are accompanying drawings in the that, just as an example, a practical case of realization of the reading support device.

In said drawings Figure 1 is a view that show the device slightly open to show your particular features: the auxiliary view A shows the groove where the elastic cord is mounted when the device it is closed; Auxiliary view B shows one of the slots in which is inserted the end of the elastic cord. Figure 2 shows a view of the closed device, which can be used as bookmark when inserting the page of interest between the legs Of the device. Figure 3 shows the device view open in its position of use as a lectern. Figure 4 shows the top view of the device placed in a book functioning as lectern. Figure 5 shows the bottom view of the device placed in a book functioning as a lectern.

Description of a preferred embodiment

The support device for reading coast of two plates (1) of a hard and flexible material, either plastic or metal. The outer surface of the plates (1) may be equipped with a coating for ornament or type inscriptions advertising Each of the plates (1) have a groove in one end (2) that allows inserting the end of the cord into it elastic (8). This cord (8) is attached at its ends to each of the plates (1). On the other end the plates (1) they have a hole (3) to join their ends by means of a pin or rivet (7) that includes two washers (5) and (6) to distribute better the necessary pressure so that the necessary tension is maintained to use the book without the device opening or closing inadvertently and hold your position. The plates (1) present at the connecting end (3) a chamfer (4) on the face that faces to accommodate the passage of the elastic cord (8) when the device is collected to be able to save it or use it as bookmark

The compact polycarbonate or specifically bisphenol A polycarbonate, within the group of thermoplastics because it is transparent like glass but instead It is 200 times higher in breakage to this and its weight is half and is Easy to work, mold and thermoforming. It also presents a high combustion resistance which does not add an element of risk when stored with paper books.

Claims (3)
