Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0224029A1] Said stand is designed for books, catalogues, boards etc. weighing up to 4.5 kg. It consists of a right and left support (1), a bracket (15), a pivoting shaft (3) with knurled screws (9) and a base (11). All load-bearing parts are manufactured from steel-strength, special alloy, chromium-plated aluminium. The book (catalogue, board) is laid centrally on the right and left support. The slant of the book can be variably adjusted by releasing the knurled screws (on both ends of the pivoting shaft) and by displacing said shaft forwards or backwards, in relation to the base. Threaded pins for adjusting the sliding resistance that is generated when the pivoting shaft is displaced are provided on the underside of the pivoting shaft, below the right and left slide bearing. The bracket is used to hold down the pages. Said bracket can be adjusted to the thickness of the book by a displacement parallel to the lower bearing surface. The bracket can be pressed down to enable the pages to be turned rapidly. After the bracket has been released, it springs back into its original position. It is not therefore necessary to readjust it to the thickness of the book. The reading stand allows an ergonomic method of working, with a relaxed posture.
