Abstract

A cover for holding a document to be scanned against the transparent scanning surface of a scanning system. The cover includes at least one hinged "bending axis" about which a portion of the cover may be pivotally displaced without affecting the remaining portion(s) of the cover. Preferably, the bending axes are such that the cover may be pivoted about either of two lines corresponding to the diagonal axes of the rectangular cover.
