A page rotating device includes a planar support plate. A cylindrical
housing that has a first longitudinal length is coupled to the support
plate. A central shaft has opposed top and bottom ends, has a second
longitudinal length, and is rotatably seated within the housing. The
second length is shorter than the first length. Page-holding sections are
coupled to the central shaft, and have inner linear edges disposed
adjacent to the central shaft and seated within the housing. Each
page-holding section includes wire ribs attached thereto for preventing
the page-holding sections from flexing during rotating movement. A
mechanism is included for rotating the page-holding sections about the
central shaft such that the inner edges of the page-holding sections
travel 180 degrees along an arcuate path. The rotating mechanism rotates
the page-holding sections in clockwise and counter clockwise directions
when the central shaft is rotated in clockwise and counter clockwise
directions.
