c. a mount capable of retaining a positioning arm thereupon; 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. ## Claims ### Claim 1 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 engagement 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 wings 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 mounting wing may be rotated; c. a mount capable of retaining a positioning arm thereupon; 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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 1, wherein: said elongated body comprises: a. a first body portion having a bore defined therein; b. a second body portion having a bore defined therein; c. said first body portion being joined to one end of one of said opening levers and one end of one of said clamping arms, leaving a rotation space between said body portions into which said rotatable mounting wing may be disposed, said axle extending from said first body portion through said rotatable mounting wing and into said second body portion; and said bracket having a T-Slot formed therein, said lens having a mounting tab with a bulge formed at the terminus of said neck, said bulge being mateably retainable in said T-slot. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 2, wherein said resilient member is a coiled spring having an outwardly extending leg defined at each end thereof, said axle passing through the coil of said coiled spring, one leg thereof pressing against one of said opening levers, the other leg of said coiled spring bearing against the other of said opening levers, said legs being configured to urge said opening levers away from each other. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 3, wherein another resilient member is provided, said other resilient member being another coiled spring having an outwardly extending leg defined at each end thereof, said axle passing through the coil of said other coiled spring, one leg of said other coiled spring pressing against one of said opening levers, the other leg of said second coiled spring bearing against the other of said opening levers, said legs being configured to urge said opening levers away from each other. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 4, wherein said flexibly deformable arm comprises a hollow flexible metallic gooseneck coil, which has a retaining plug having a tapered body and a chamfered head formed therein, said tapered body being mounted in the hollow in said gooseneck and said chamfered head being retained in said mount on said bracket ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 5, wherein said clamping arms are adapted to engage sidepieces of a pair of spectacles, holding said projecting body portions laterally outward therefrom. ### Claim 7 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 parallel to the clamping surfaces of said engagement 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 wings 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 mounting wing may be rotated; c. a mount capable of retaining a positioning arm thereupon; 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. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 7, wherein: said elongated body comprises: a. a first body portion having a bore defined therein; b. a second body potion having a bore defined therein; c. said first body portion being joined to one end of one of said opening levers and one end of one of said clamping arms, leaving a rotation space between said body portions into which said rotatable mounting wing may be disposed, said axle extending from said first body portion through said rotatable mounting wing and into said second body portion. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 8, wherein said resilient member is a coiled spring having an outwardly extending leg defined at each end thereof, said axle passing through the coil of said coiled spring, one leg of said coiled spring pressing against one of said opening levers, the other leg of said coiled spring bearing against the other of said opening levers, said legs being configured to urge said opening levers away from each other. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 9, wherein another resilient member is provided, said other resilient member being another coiled spring having an outwardly extending leg defined at each end thereof, said axle passing through the coil of said other coiled spring, one leg of said other coiled spring pressing against one of said opening levers, the other leg of said second coiled spring bearing against the other of said opening levers, said legs being configured to urge said opening levers away from each other. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 10, wherein said flexibly deformable arm comprises a flexible metallic gooseneck coil. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 11, wherein said clamping arms are adapted to engage sidepieces of a pair of spectacles, holding said projecting body portions vertically thereabove. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The auxiliary magnification system of claim 12, wherein said clamping arms are adapted to engage sidepieces of a pair of spectacles, holding said projecting body portions vertically therebelow.
