ABSTRACT:
A page turning device (10) is provided having a motor housing (12), an activator switch (14) and a book platform (16). A motor (18) is carried within the motor housing (12) and includes a drive shaft (20) that carries a spring arm (24) that, in turn, carries a wiping finger (26). The book platform (16) positioning the upper portion of a book placed thereon underneath a spring arm (24) and the wiping finger (26). The placement of a book on the book platform (16) may be facilitated by a book holder (38). When a book is placed on the book platform (16), activating the activator switch (14) activates the motor (18) and causes the drive shaft (20) to rotate the spring arm (24) connected thereto from a rest position so as to bring the wiping finger (26) into contact with the exposed top page of the book. The motor (18) continues through one cycle before again coming to rest, rotating the drive shaft (20) and the spring arm (24) and wiping finger (26) attached thereto, through 360 degrees. As the spring arm (24) continues its rotation, the wiping finger (26) grips the exposed page of the book and advances the exposed page to the other side of the book. Once the exposed page has been advanced and the motor (18) has completed one cycle, the spring arm (24) stops in its rotation and once again assumes the rest position.
