DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A book holder for homing reading material, visual display material or visual display devices, comprising: (a) a rigid panel; (b) a perpendicular lower ledge protruding from said rigid panel; (c) one or more panels protruding from said lower ledge parallel with said rigid panel; (d) a means for guiding and containing linear lateral motion, protected perpendicularly downward from said lower ledge of said rigid panel; (e) one or more sliding carriers which are guided and contained by said means for guiding and containing linear lateral motion, such that at least one sliding carrier may be guided into a position adapted to be in a suitable proximity to a lateral edge of the reading material; said sliding carrier including four integral panels, a top, front, bottom and rear panel forming a G-shaped cross section; a pivoting pin mounting tab having a hole is attached to said front panel; (f) a lever, having a horizontal extension arm and a flat rectangular clamp bar, mounted upon said pivot pin mounting tab of each sliding carrier by a pivoting means, whereby a portion of said lever is allowed in pivot relative to said sliding carrier, adapted to describe motion towards and away from the face of said rigid panel and the reading material mounted thereupon; (g) a force biasing means of said lever and said sliding member, such that a portion of said lever is forcible against the visual material placed between said lever and rigid panel.
Description:
BACKGROUND--FIELD OF INVENTION This invention relates to book supports or reading stands, specifically, to such stands for holding a book or other reading material in various positions with pages open.
BACKGROUND--PRIOR ART The average reader, today and since the very advent of the book, has had a tedious task.
The book must be held open and in from of the face with one or both hands, constantly.
Pressing the book down against a table or cradling it in the lap offers a change of position, but the fingers and hands are continually pressed into service
