ABSTRACT:
A flat support is provided on which an open multiple page bound volume of printed material is adapted to be supported. First and second arms are positioned on opposite sides of the open volume on first and second elevated platforms which are mounted on opposite sides of the support. The first and second arms are pivotally mounted on the first and second platform which in one orientation of pivoted movement, the arms face each other when in position for holding a volume thereunder on a support. First and second magnets are mounted on the first and second arms to hold by magnetic attraction individual pages of a volume having magnetic material positioned thereon in magnetic alignment with the first and second magnets whereby individual pages may be read released and turned by the user while the volume is held in open position which turned pages are also held in position while the next succeeding page is magnetically held in position for reading. Thus a reading material support is provided for holding multiple paged, bound, printed materials in an open position while still permitting the turning and holding of a plurality of individual pages of immediate interest in proper reading position while freeing the hands of the user.
