ABSTRACT:
A device for facilitating the holding of reading material for easy reading, freeing the reader's hands for any desirable work. The device consists of an upstanding backing member against which the binding of the book or other reading material is supported and in combination with this backing, I provide a base support for the reading material. Upstanding from this base support is a spaced apart pair of page supports and cooperative with these upstanding members is a pair of biased fingers one being provided for each page support, these fingers being independently operable. The fingers are biased towards the page members. The device also includes means whereby the backing member, the reading material base support and the upstanding page supports are adjustable to vary the angle of the reading material relative to the horizontal. When the above mentioned members are adjusted to various positions, the biased fingers continue to be in releasable engagement with the page supports. Two pairs of arms are provided, one extends forwardly from said means and the other extends rearwardly therefrom and extending between and mounted for swiveling motion on each pair of arms is a leg member adapted to support the device in the various adjusted positions. The pairs of arms are pivotally mounted on said means so that they may be pivoted upwardly or downwardly as desired to thereby vary the height of the device and the reading material mounted thereon.
