Multi-sheet reading apparatus

Abstract

A support apparatus is disclosed for presenting successive printed sheets, such as those of music, in proper sequence for reading. The apparatus comprises a series of rigid panel members rectangular in configuration and transparent in appearance, each of the panel members being formed having a thin pocket chamber open at the top and extending longitudinally from top to bottom of the panel member for holding a printed sheet contained therein. The panel members are aligned side-by-side and successive panel members are pivotally coupled together along immediately adjacent edges by one or more living hinge members having clamp sections running the length of the hinge members on opposite sides thereof to engage the respective edges and a flexible intermediate web extending between the clamp sections. In this articulated assembly, successive panel members fold relative to each other and may be selectively deployed in a manner that allows successive sheets of music or the like to be easily presented to the reader in proper sequence.
