An auxiliary magnifying system for use in connection with a pair of glasses, comprising:
- a) a positionable mounting fixture, said positionable mounting fixture comprising:
- i) an elongated body having
- ii) a pair of engageable mounting wings thereupon, each said engageable mounting wing having a clamping arm and an opening lever thereupon, said opening levers defining a “V”, the bisector of said “V” being generally normal to the clamping surfaces of said clamping arms, wherein said clamping arm and said opening lever of each wing adjoin a central body with said clamping arms being urged into engagement with each other by a resilient member, at least one of said mounting wings being rotatable about an axis, said axis being generally collinear with the longitudinal axis of said elongated body, said clamping arms having engageable clamping surfaces, each with a resilient clamping pad thereupon, said clamping surfaces being urgable out of engagement by pressing together the portions of said opening levers defining said “V” against the action of said resilient member,
- b) an axle retained therein about which said rotatable one of said mounting wings is rotatable;
- c) a mount on said elongated body;
- d) a flexibly deformable arm, one end of which is capable of being retained in said mount on said elongated body;
- e) a bracket capable of being mounted on the other end of said flexibly deformable arm;
- and
- f) a lens mountable in said bracket.
