Abstract
A device for holding reading materials for use by readers without arm mobility adapted to hold the reading materials in position for reading with the pages displayed to enable turning by use of a rubber tipped stick held in the mouth having a pair of rectangular frames for holding and positioning the reading material opened in reading posture with the pages displayed at a substantially unobstructed sighting position for reading with the pair of rectangular frames connected to one another by a hinge so the angle between the frames may be varied thereby varying the inclination of the reading materials. A pair of bent spring mounted wires for holding opposing pages of the reading material open for reading without substantial visual interference of the pages is mounted to the base and adjustable to the thickness of the reading material and having a variable friction adjustment so as to enable the force of the wires against the pages to be varied and also permitting manipulation of said pages by the stick employed by the reader.
