BLV/6D Page Turner by GEWA AB

Considered by most people who know, the GEWA Page Turner BLV-6D is the best in the world. Because it doesn't attempt to do the impossible, this outstanding Swedish-designed page turner really works!

With the BLV-6D, the user is in total step-by-step control of the turning process. Errors in turning, sticking pages, crumpled or mis-angled pages—all can be manipulated successfully by the user with the truly unique characteristics of the Page Turner.

Whether you're sitting up or lying down, pages can be turned forward and backward, one at a time or continuously (scanning a chapter or directory, for instance). The only assistance required is to insert the document to be read, position the operating control for the user, and occasionally clean the turning mechanism.

Used for social, business, and educational reading, the unit works with books, magazines, catalogs, brochures, incoming mail, etc. It can be operated with a variety of multiple-switch assemblies or optionally with a visual scanner and any single switch. And, it can be run by most environmental control units.

Access method is critical:

When considering the BLV/6D page turner, think about the access method which is sold separately. The page turner is a manual page turner that requires the user to perform the four functions needed to turn a page. Control the system with a joystick, four individual switches, a sip and puff four function switch, or any single switch along with an SC-1 scan controller.

Add an overbed table which allows the page turner to hold the book even tilted over the user while he or she reads in bed.
