A folder which can be converted into an adjustable book-rest, comprising an articulated assembly which comprises a box having an overturning cover, a prop being connected between said cover and the inner side of the bottom of the box, wherein at least one of the cover and of the bottom of the cover is provided with raised portions, to give a desired inclination to said cover, said cover of the box being adapted to support a document and retain it at an edge thereof with a support, said cover being adapted to pass from a first position in which the cover is flat and arranged to directly close the box, to a second position in which the cover is angled with respect to the bottom of said box, said cover supporting on its outer side the document in both said first and second positions, and wherein the bottom is delimited at one side by a first fold and at the other three sides by a raised portion on which the cover and the prop rest in a co-planar arrangement when closed, said prop being joined to the cover in two further folds which are mutually aligned and parallel to the first fold and allow it to rotate downward and engage in notches of the bottom in order to support the cover when it is raised in the book-rest configuration and provides an inclined support to the text, which is retained by means of said support.
A folder which can be converted into an adjustable book-rest, comprising an articulated assembly which comprises a box having an overturning cover, a prop being connected between said cover and the inner side of the bottom of the box, wherein at least one of the cover and of the bottom of the cover provided with raised portions, to give a desired inclination to said cover, said cover of the box being adapted to support a document and retain it at an edge thereof with a support, said cover being adapted to pass from a first position in which the cover is flat and arranged to directly close the box, to a second position in which the cover is angled with respect to the bottom of said box, said cover supporting on its outer side the document in both said first and second positions, and wherein the bottom, a rotating or retractable bracket and the prop meant to support the cover at an angle are hinged to the sides of the cover and against its inner face.
A folder which can be converted into an adjustable book-rest, comprising an articulated assembly which comprises a box having an overturning cover, a prop being connected between said cover and the inner side of the bottom of the box, wherein at least one of the cover and of the bottom of the cover is provided with raised portions, to give a desired inclination to said cover, said cover of the box being adapted to support a document and retain it at an edge thereof with a support, said cover being adapted to pass from a first position in which the cover is flat and arranged to directly close the box, to a second position on which the cover is angled with respect to the bottom of said box, said cover supporting on its outer side the document in both said first and second positions, wherein the cover, which is hinged to the bottom and to the prop by means of first and second hinges, in the folder configuration rests on a perimetric raised portion of the bottom, overlapping and engaging, with a snap-acting tooth, the prop, which also rests on said raised portion, which it engages by means of a disengageable snap-acting tooth, in order to lift the prop together with the cover, by inserting a finger in a corresponding recess of the bottom.
The folder according 37, wherein said bracket is meant to rotate through 90° in order to pass from a recessed seat of the cover to an operating configuration, in which it is supported, at openings of the cover, by tabs with which it is provided, said tabs being arranged at right angles and resting against the lower surface of said cover;
- when the assembly is in a collapsed configuration, said tabs lying at right angles proximate to the bottom, from which at least one stop tooth protrudes, preventing said tabs from rotating about a hinge.
