  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, although various technically preferable limitations for implementing the present invention are given to the embodiments described below, the scope of the invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of a page turning apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention in use. In the following description, a case where a page of a book is turned from left to right will be described. In FIG. 1, a page turning apparatus 1 is roughly divided into a page turning main body 10 for turning a book page, a holding base 20 for holding an opened book, and a page press for holding the turned page at a turning destination position. The apparatus 30 and the imaging apparatus stand 40 which installs the information processing terminal (a smart phone, a tablet, etc .; not shown) which has an imaging means for imaging the page of a book.

  The page turning body 10 includes a body 11, an arm 12, a first drive unit 13 such as a motor that reciprocally swings the arm 12 from right to left and from left to right, and a tip of the arm 12. A suction part (adhesive roller part or adhesive part) 14 that is attached and sucks against the page of the book, a second drive part 15 such as a motor that rotates the suction part 14, and a page at the turning origin position An air blowing unit 16 that assists a page turning operation by passing wind upward and applying wind to the page turned by the suction unit 14 is provided. The page turning main body 10 is independent of the holding table 20, and the position and direction with respect to the holding table 20 can be appropriately adjusted according to the size of the book. Details of the position adjustment of the page turning main body 10 will be described later.

  Although the details will be described later, the main body portion 11 has a multi-faceted shape that is obliquely cut so that a part of the front surface is inclined from the front side toward the back side as it goes from top to bottom, and controls the operation of each part. An electronic circuit (not shown) is incorporated. A blower unit 16 is incorporated at a predetermined position of the main body unit 11. The holding table 20 includes a pair of holding plates 21 and 22 that can be folded by hinges. Here, when the page of a book is turned from left to right, one holding plate 21 arranged on the left side of the pair of holding plates 21 and 22 is placed along the table and placed on the right side. The other holding plate 22 is inclined and placed on the table so that it rises at a predetermined angle with respect to the one holding plate 21. On one holding plate 21, a book before the page is turned is placed. This is the so-called turning source position. The turned page is held on the other holding plate 22. This is the so-called page turning position.

  As a result, the holding table 20 holds the book so that the page at the turning destination is inclined in the direction that occurs with respect to the binding of the book rather than the page at the turning original position. Since the pair of holding plates 21 and 22 can be folded by hinges, the angle formed by the pair of holding plates 21 and 22 can be adjusted, and the inclination angle θ with respect to the horizontal plane of the page at the turning point position can be adjusted. It is adjustable. The inclination angle θ is preferably adjusted within a range of 30 to 45 degrees.

  Further, the holding table 20 can be folded so as to fit in a storage box 80 described later when the page turning apparatus 1 is stored. That is, the holding table 20 includes holding plates 21a and 22a and holding plates 21b and 22b that can be folded inward when stored. That is, at the time of storage, the holding plate 21b is folded by the hinge so as to overlap the holding plate 21a (connecting the holding plate 21a and the holding plate 21b).

  Similarly, the holding plate 22b is folded by a hinge so as to overlap the holding plate 22a (connecting the holding plate 22a and the holding plate 22b). Further, the holding plate 22a in a state in which the holding plate 22b is folded is folded onto the holding plate 21a in which the holding plate 21b is folded by a hinge (connected to the holding plate 21a and the holding plate 22a). As described above, the holding base for holding the book is configured to be foldable in multiple layers so that it can be stored in a smaller space.

  Note that the holding table 20 holds the book by the pair of holding plates 21 and 22 so that the page at the turning destination is inclined in the direction of the binding of the book with respect to the page at the turning original position. Therefore, a non-slip sheet (not shown) may be provided on each surface (the surface on which the book abuts) of the holding plates 21a and 21b constituting the holding plate 21 at the turning original position.

  When the page turning apparatus 1 is used, the base plate 50 functions as an installation sheet for preventing the page turning main body 10 and the holding base 20 from being displaced, and when the page turning apparatus 1 is stored, the page turning apparatus 1 is turned on. It functions as a sheet for integrating the main body 10 and the holding table 20. Although details will be described later, the page turning main body 10 and the holding table 20 are fixed to the base plate 50 with screws. As described above, the page turning main body 10 can be appropriately adjusted in position and direction with respect to the holding table 20 according to the size of the book by changing the fixing position of the base plate 50 with screws.

  The base plate 50 is provided with a support pedestal 23 for supporting the holding plate 22 at a predetermined angle (several steps) via a hinge. The support pedestal 23 is formed with a groove that supports a stand (not shown) installed on the back of the holding plate 22 at a predetermined angle (multiple steps). Details of this structure will be described later. On the upper surface of the base plate 50, a guide (illustration; not shown) for guiding the fixed position of the page turning main body 10 with respect to the holding table 20 according to the size of the book is written.

  As described above, in this embodiment, since the page turning main body 10 and the holding base 20 are mounted on the base plate 50, the weight is required to stabilize the page turning main body 10 and the holding base 20 during the page turning operation. It is not necessary to mount a weight to increase the weight, and the weight can be reduced.

  Further, a stand fixing plate 54 for fixing the imaging device stand 40 is provided on the lower surface of the base plate 50 so as to be slidable (via a single rotation shaft). When stored, it is stored by rotating it below the base plate 50, and when used, it is rotated from the base plate 50 to a predetermined position and exposed. A part of the stand fixing plate 54 is exposed from the base plate 50 even when it is stored below the base plate 50, and a screw for fixing the imaging device stand 40 is disposed in the exposed part. .

  The page pressing device 30 is attached to the upper end portion of the holding plate 22a. The page presser 30 includes a page holding unit 31 that winds the page turned by the reciprocating swing of the suction unit 14 so as not to return to the turning destination position, and a clip portion 32 that holds the page at the turning destination position. It has. The page holding unit 31 is detachably fixed to the clip unit 32. The page holding unit 31 is movable in the front-rear direction with a simple operation while being fixed to the clip unit 32. Details of the page presser 30 will be described later.

  The imaging device stand 40 is a stage extending diagonally with respect to the page at the original turning position of the book to be imaged (the page before being turned) and parallel to the installation surface of the imaging device stand 40. 41. An information processing terminal (not shown) such as a tablet terminal, for example, is installed on the stage 41 as an imaging device, and the camera unit of the information processing terminal is located at the original page turning position through the opening 42 provided on the stage 41. Take a picture of the page (before turning). The imaging device stand 40 is fixed with screws arranged on the stand fixing plate 54 described above. Since the stand fixing plate 54 is fixed to the base plate 50 so as to be rotatable (via one rotation shaft), the imaging device stand 40 can be easily installed at an appropriate position according to the size of the book. it can.

  The book holder 51 is a long plate-like member extending from one end to the other end of the holding plate 21, and the book holder 51 installed on the holding plate 21 in order to prevent the book from shifting during the page turning operation. It is inserted between the front cover (or back cover) and the last page, and is fixed to the holding plate 21 by tightening the fixing knob 52.

  The support auxiliary member 53 has a triangular prism shape, and is formed of a long member extending from one end of the holding plate 21 to the other end. The supporting auxiliary member 53 is disposed between the holding plate 21 and the back portion of the book installed on the holding plate 21, and the book back portion is held at a predetermined angle (for example, about 30 degrees) with respect to the horizontal plane. Support the back part of the book as is. That is, the slope of the support auxiliary member 53 that contacts the back portion of the book is about 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane.

  As described above, the support auxiliary member 53 holds the book so that the back portion of the book is warped, in other words, the acute angle formed by the normal line of the back portion of the book B and the horizontal plane becomes larger. For this reason, even if the size of the book is large or the paper of the page is stiff, the page at the turning origin position depends on the strength of the paper of the book (page) and the force bent downward. It becomes easy to turn back to the page turning tip position, and even if the suction force of the suction portion 14 (or the adhesive strength of the sticking portion) and the wind force from the blower portion 16 are the same as the conventional one, it is easier to turn.

  In the present embodiment, the book holder 51 and the supporting auxiliary member 53 described above are stored only by being rotated and / or slid and moved to a predetermined position without being removed from the page turning apparatus 1 when stored. It is configured. Details of this structure will be described later.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a storage state of the page turning apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped storage box 80 is inserted between a pair of legs constituting the imaging device stand 40. The storage box 80 is designed so that its vertical and horizontal dimensions are, for example, A6 size (105 mm × 148 mm), and its thickness (depth) is within the interval between the legs of the imaging device stand 40. The storage box 80 stores the page turning main body 10, the holding base 20, and other accessories that are folded on the base plate 50. For this reason, the page turning main body 10 and the holding base 20 are attached to the base plate 50 so that they can be accommodated in the storage box 80 (the height of the page turning main body 10 and the holding height). The height of the stand 20 when it is folded, and the distance between the legs of the imaging device stand 40 are designed.

  In addition, an insertion portion (fixing portion) 81 for fixing the page pressing device 30 at the time of storage is provided on one outer side surface of the storage box 80. The insertion portion 81 is formed with a rectangular insertion hole (through hole) 82 opened upward. In the page pressing device 30, a plate-like member of the clip portion 32 of the page pressing device 30 can be inserted into and extracted from the insertion hole 82 of the insertion portion 81. At the time of storage, the plate-like member of the clip portion 32 of the page pressing device 30 is fixed to the outer surface of the storage box 80 by inserting it into the insertion hole 82 of the insertion portion 81. Thereby, further integrated storage is realized.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the storage / deployment state of the page turning apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. When page turning is performed by the page turning device 1, the storage box 80 is pulled out from the imaging device stand 40, and the page pressing device 30 held on the outer surface of the storage box 80 is pulled upward. On the other hand, at the time of storage, the plate-like member of the clip portion 32 of the page pressing device 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 82 of the insertion portion 81 and fixed to the outer surface of the storage box 80. Insert between a pair of legs.

  As described above, when the page turning apparatus 1 is stored, the page turning main body 10, the holding base 20, and other accessories are stored in the storage box 80 having, for example, an A6 size (105 mm × 148 mm). Since the page holding device 30 is fixed to the outer surface of the box 80 and the storage box 80 is inserted between the pair of legs of the imaging device stand 40, it can be easily stored in a general cabinet or a bookshelf. It becomes possible to do. In addition, by using the imaging device stand 40 as a file folder when storing the storage box 80, it is possible to realize integrated storage, and it is not necessary to consider storage of the imaging device stand 40 itself.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a storage state in the storage box 80 of the present embodiment. The storage box 80 is open only on one side, and the page turning main body 10, the holding base 20, the support base 23, and other accessories that are folded on the base plate 50 are stored therein. As shown in FIG. 4, the holding table 20 is folded, and the support base 23 is folded on the hinge via the hinge. Further, for example, accessories such as an AC adapter (not shown) may be accommodated in the vacant gap. Thereby, further integrated storage is realized.

  As described above, the page turning main body 10, the holding base 20, the support pedestal 23, the base plate 50, and the like are sized to fit within the storage box 80 (the height of the page turning main body 10, the holding base 20, and the like). The height of the support pedestal 23 when it is folded is designed.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which the page turning apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment is being used and is being transferred from the storage state to the use state (a state in which the page turning main body 10, the holding base 20, the support base 23, etc. are being taken out). is there. FIG. 5 shows the page turning main body 10, the holding base 20, the support base 23, and other accessories taken out from the storage box 80 and folded on the base plate 50. As shown in the drawing, the holding base 20 and the support base 23 are folded via a hinge. Further, it can be seen that the book holder 51 is stored obliquely with respect to the base plate 50. Thus, the compact storage is implement | achieved by making the holding stand 20 holding a book into a folding structure.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the transition from the housed state to the used state (deployed state of the holding base 20 and the support base 23) in order to use the page turning apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 6 shows a state where the holding base 20 and the support base 23 are unfolded from the state where they are taken out from the storage box 80. First, the support base 23 is expanded (arrow A), and then the holding plate 22a and the holding plate 22b are developed in this order (arrows B and C). Finally, the holding plate 21b is expanded (arrow D). Although not shown in FIG. 6, a support plate 231 having one end coupled via a hinge (described later) is provided on the back surface of the holding plate 22a, and the other end of the support plate 231 is connected to a support base. The holding plate 22 is supported at an angle corresponding to the position of the groove by engaging with any of the plurality of grooves formed in the groove 23. The groove to be locked can be determined according to the thickness (weight) of the book page, the stiffness of the paper used for the page, and the like.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, it can be seen that the book holder 51 is stored obliquely when stored. In this embodiment, in order to store as compactly as possible, the holding table 20 is folded, and the book holder 51 is long enough to hold, for example, the cover of a book of A5 size (vertical: 210 mm). Therefore, the book holder 51 cannot be stored in the state of use as shown in FIG. However, if the book holder 51 is detached from the base plate 50 and stored, operations such as mounting during use and removal during storage are necessary, which imposes a burden on the user. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the book holder 51 is slanted while being attached to the base plate 50, so that the book holder 51 is compact enough to be accommodated in the storage box 80.

  A hole 511 extending obliquely in the longitudinal direction is formed in the book holder 51, and the book holder 51 is fixed to the base plate 50 with a screw portion 512 through the hole 511. At the time of storage, the screw portion 512 is loosened, pushed in an oblique direction while being attached to the base plate 50, and fixed by tightening the screw portion 512 at one end of the hole 511. At this time, even if the book holder 51 is stowed diagonally, a part of the front surface of the main body 11 is cut obliquely so as to incline from the front to the back as it goes from top to bottom. The rear end portion of the book holder 51 (the side opposite to the fixed knob 52) does not come into contact with the main body portion 11. Thereby, the book holder 51 is smoothly stored in a predetermined position while being attached to the base plate 50.

  FIGS. 7A, 7 </ b> B, and 7 </ b> C are schematic diagrams illustrating the folding structure of the holding table 20 of the page turning apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 7A shows a state immediately after taking out from the storage box 80, and FIG. 7B shows a state in which the holding base 20 and the support base 23 are unfolded. Immediately after removal from the storage box 80 (during storage), the holding plate 21 and the holding plate 22 are folded so as to overlap with each other as shown in FIG. 7A. Further, the support plate 231 is folded on the back surface of the holding plate 22 by a hinge h2. Further, the base plate 50 is first bent about 90 degrees counterclockwise by the hinge h3 so that the upper surface is inward, and further bent about 90 degrees counterclockwise toward the drawing by the hinge h4. Yes.

  On the other hand, when unfolding the holding base 20 and the support base 23 (in use), as shown in FIG. 7B, first, the base plate 50 is first hinged with the hinge h4 so that the inner side comes to the upper surface. It is bent about 90 degrees around and further bent about 90 degrees clockwise toward the drawing at the hinge h3 to make it horizontal. Then, the support plate 231 is developed by the hinge h2, and the holding plate 22 has an appropriate angle according to the thickness (weight) of the book page, the stiffness of the paper used for the page, and the like. In this way, the support base 23 is locked in an arbitrary groove.

  FIG. 7C shows a schematic diagram of the holding table 20 in the unfolded state. The holding plate 21 a is fixed to the base plate 50. The holding plate 21b is connected to the holding plate 21a via a hinge h5. The holding plate 22a is connected to the holding plate 21a via a hinge h1. The holding plate 22b is connected to the holding plate 22a via a hinge h6. Therefore, when the holding table 20 is expanded, as described above, the holding plate 22a is first expanded via the hinge h1, then the holding plate 22b is expanded via the hinge h6, and finally the hinge. The holding plate 21b is developed through h5. Thus, in the present embodiment, the holding table 20 is divided into four parts, and can be folded into a quarter size when stored.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which the page turning apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment is being used and is being transferred from the storage state to the use state (installation state of the stand fixing plate 54 of the imaging device stand 40). FIG. 8 shows a state in which the stand fixing plate 54 housed on the back side of the base plate 50 is rotated and pulled out from the state shown in FIG. 6 (arrow E). The stand fixing plate 54 is rotatable in the horizontal direction with respect to the base plate 50 with a screw (not shown) for fixing to the base plate 50 as a rotation axis. Further, the tip of the stand fixing plate 54 is configured to be longer than the base plate 50, and projections 541 and 542 for fixing the imaging device stand 40 are provided at the tip. That is, the portion including the projecting portions 541 and 542 is exposed to the outside without being buried under the base plate 50 when stored. Therefore, when the stand fixing plate 54 is pulled out during use or when the stand fixing plate 54 is stored during storage, the protrusions 541 and 542 may be held and rotated. Further, since the stand fixing plate 54 is rotatably fixed to the base plate 50, the imaging device stand 40 can be installed at an appropriate position (angle) according to the size of the book.

  FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the transition from the housed state to the used state (installed auxiliary support member 53) in order to use the page turning apparatus 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 9 shows a state in which the support auxiliary member 53 is slid out of the state shown in FIG. 8 and installed at a predetermined position straddling the holding plates 21a and 21b.

  FIG. 15 is a perspective view for explaining a method of fixing the page turning main body 10 to the base plate 50 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 16 is a top view for explaining a method of fixing the page turning main body 10 to the base plate 50 according to the present embodiment. 15 and 16 show a state where the holding base 20 is removed from the base plate 50. FIG. The page turning main body 10 is fixed to a plate-like pedestal 130. As described above, a part of the front surface of the main body 11 is cut obliquely so as to incline from the near side to the far side as it goes from top to bottom. A long hole 131 is formed in the pedestal 130, and is fixed to the base plate 50 with a screw 132 through the hole 131.

  The page turning main body 10 and the pedestal 130 can be moved in the lateral direction (arrow K) along the shape of the hole 131 by loosening the screw 132, and rotated (arrow L) using the screw 132 as a rotation axis. be able to. And it can fix to the desired position by tightening the screw 132. In other words, the movable range of the page turning main body 10 is limited by the length of the hole 131. In this way, regardless of the size of the book to be handled (in this embodiment, the basic is the library book size to A5 and expands to A4), the suction portion 14 at the tip of the arm portion 12 is appropriate. It is possible to adjust the position and orientation of the page turning main body 10 so as to swing back and forth along the locus.

  FIG. 17 is a top view for explaining the position adjustment method (paperback book, A5 size) of the page turning main body 10 of the present embodiment. FIG. 18 is a top view for explaining the position adjustment method (A4 size) of the page turning main body 10 of the present embodiment. On a part of the pedestal 130 of the page turning main body 10, a marker M <b> 1 for guiding the position and orientation of the page turning main body 10 is written. On the other hand, on the base plate 50, markers M2 and M3 are provided for each book size to guide the page turning main body 10 so as to be in an appropriate position and orientation when installed.

  That is, when the book has a size from the paperback (A6; 105 mm × 148 mm) to A5 (148 mm × 210 mm), the page turning main body 10 is located on the rightmost side of the movable range so that the marker M1 and the marker M2 face each other. , And the position and orientation of the page turning main body 10 are adjusted and fixed. As a result, the page turning main body 10 is in an appropriate position for turning the pages of books from the library to A5 size (FIG. 17). In the present embodiment, the position where the marker M1 and the marker M2 face each other, that is, the position where the page turning main body 10 is moved to the rightmost side of the movable range in the drawing is the initial state (the state when stored). . That is, in the case of books from the library book size to the A5 size, adjustment by the user is unnecessary.

  Further, when the book is A4 size (210 mm × 297 mm), the page turning main body 10 is moved to the leftmost side of the movable range toward FIG. 17 and adjusted so that the marker M1 and the marker M3 face each other. Then, the page turning main body portion 10 has an appropriate position and orientation for turning a page of an A4 size book (FIG. 18). In the case of handling an A4 size book, as shown in FIG. 18, an extension plate 135 for holding an A4 size book is installed on the holding plate 21 (21a, 21b). Further, when page turning is performed on an A4 size book, the support auxiliary member 53 and the book holder 51 are also replaced with those having a length corresponding to the A4 size. In the illustrated example, the markers M2 and M3 are described only for the paperback book (to A5) and A4. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and markers corresponding to other sizes may be described.

  FIG. 19 is a front view for explaining the difference between the mounting position of the air blowing unit 16 of the page turning apparatus 1 of the present embodiment and the conventional one. FIG. 19 shows a state in which the page turning main body 10 according to the present embodiment and the page turning main body 10A according to the prior art are installed on the same plane. According to the present embodiment, the height H1 from the installation surface of the blower section 16 of the page turning main body 10 according to the present embodiment is compared with the height H2 from the installation surface of the blower section 16A of the conventional page turning main body 10A. It can be seen that the height H1 of the blower section 16 is clearly lower. In the present embodiment, a part of the front surface of the main body 11 is cut obliquely so as to incline from the front to the back as it goes from top to bottom, so that the arm unit 12 and the first drive unit 13 are formed. Since the suction portion 14 and the second drive portion 15 are structured not to be housed in the interior (indentation) of the main body portion 11 (conventional housing structure), the space for housing can be omitted, and the air blowing portion 16 It is possible to lower the position. Therefore, the height of the main body 11 can be lowered, which contributes to downsizing. Moreover, adjustment of the direction of air was made unnecessary by lowering the position of the ventilation part 16. This will be described in detail below.

  FIG. 20 is a side view for explaining the relationship between the height of the air blowing unit 16 of the page turning apparatus 1 of the present embodiment and the book. As described above, in the present embodiment, adjustment of the air direction is not required by lowering the mounting position of the blower unit 16. Conventionally, since the position of the air blower 16A is considerably higher than the book B, that is, the difference between the height HB of the book B and the height H2 of the air blower 16A is large, the air directed downward and the air directed horizontally Two kinds of were necessary. For this reason, the structure of the air outlet of the air blower 16A becomes complicated, and it takes time and effort to adjust the air direction. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the difference between the book height HB and the height H1 of the air blower 16 is small (below a predetermined threshold), that is, the outlet of the air blower 16 is close to the book. In addition, it is not necessary to adjust the air direction. For this reason, the structure of the air outlet becomes simple, and adjustment is unnecessary for the user, so the burden is reduced.

  FIG. 21 is a perspective view for explaining the shape of the page turning main body 10 and the shape of the book holder of the page turning apparatus 1 of the present embodiment.
