Abstract:
A device for holding a paper sheet in order to facilitate the viewing thereof, wherein the device comprisesa first holding element having two bearing zones, anda second holding element having a protruding section,the first and second holding elements defining between them a space having a top and a base, said space opening upwards for accommodating the paper sheet to be inserted between the first and second holding elements, with the top of said space wider than the base of said space, wherein said space progressively narrows, from the top to the base, with a greater gradient near the top relative to near the base of said space,wherein the first and second holding elements are arranged such that(a), the protruding section and the bearing zones overlap each other partially to enable a curvature to be conferred gradually upon the paper sheet to be inserted, wherein the protruding section and the bearing zones are tilted backwards with the protruding section tilted less than the bearing zones,(b) two lines of force are allowed to be created, on the paper sheet to be inserted, towards the upper angles of the paper sheet in order to rigidify the paper sheet, and(c) the device allows the paper sheet to be inserted to obtain a backward tilt ranging from 45.degree. to 85.degree., and the first holding element comprises a recess between the bearing zones.
