ABSTRACT:
An inverted book stand having a book support platform comprised of two pivotally connected, transparent panels. The panels can be moved from a first, stowed position, where the panels are folded together and in close proximity to each other, to a second, in use position, where the panels are folded open to an angle of less than 180.degree. to form the support platform. The panels are formed with an integral, angle limiting feature at the pivotal connection to maintain the angle between panels when they are in the open position. Support members are pivotally connected to the outer edge of each panel, opposite to edge of the panel from where the panels are connected to each other. The support members can be moved from a first, stowed position, wherein each support member is in a closed position parallel and adjacent to its respective panel, and a second, in use position, where the support member is pivoted to an angle of more than 90.degree. from the panel surface. An integral limiting feature is provided at the pivotal connection between the support members and the panels to limit the angle formed between them when the support members are opened. The book stand can be folded to a substantially flat configuration for transport.
