ABSTRACT:
A book leaf holder maintains a book in an opened position with the pages held firmly down. In a preferred form the holder comprises a single piece of wire having a curving back portion and bends at each end forming arms which extend over the opened pages and a clip-like end which maintains the arms in position. The wire device acts somewhat in the manner of a large paper clip, having an undeformed position which is essentially planar and tending to return to the planar condition when in use, tending to urge the book toward being flat. The center curving section of the device bears against the center binding behind the opened book, and in the usual manner of use the arm on each side clips over and holds down an opened page. The end finger or clip beyond the arm is inserted under a sheaf of pages, e.g. 30 or 50 pages below the opened page. The book holder clip stores flatly and is useful as a bookmark when the book is closed. Other embodiments, formed of other materials and of multiple components, are disclosed.
