Abstract:
A system for actuating an electronic page advancement controller in adjustable manner comprising:(a) a retaining stage having a pair of spaced supporting pole portions projecting therefrom, each said supporting pole portion having formed therein a groove;(b) a base plate disposed between said supporting poles of said retaining stage, said base plate including an electronic circuit, at least one connection terminal coupled to the electronic page advancement controller, and a plurality of projecting elastic plate members, said electronic circuit defining a plurality of switchable current paths for respectively generating a set of predetermined signals, each said elastic plate member being coupled to at least one of said current paths;(c) a spring member coupled to said base plate resiliently biased to a substantially T-shaped configuration, said spring member having a pair of lateral end portions each extending at least partially over at least one said elastic plate member, each said lateral end portion being deflectable responsive to a deflecting force to couple electrically to at least one said elastic plate member for selectively switching said at least one current path coupled thereto; and,(d) a semi-circular wheel member coupled to said supporting poles of said retaining stage, said semi-circular wheel member being angularly displaceable to impart the deflecting force upon said spring member;whereby at least one of said predetermined signals is selectively generated for corresponding actuation of the electronic page advancement controller.
