Abstract
A device for illuminating and magnifying printed cards for viewing. A body of the device has a hollow central region with hollow, opposed sides. At least one pair of slots near a floor of the hollow central region receives at least one printed card, with a magnifying lens mounted in an upper region of the hollow central region. A separate enclosure having an illumination bulb mounted therein is provided in one of the hollow sides, with batteries mounted in another hollow side. An opening in the enclosure passes light across the central region, providing indirect illumination of the card.
Claims18
A viewing apparatus comprising:
- a body having a hollow central region bounded by four sides and a floor, with an upper side of said body having a viewing opening therein sized to allow viewing of an object in said hollow central region, and
- a light source located to direct light into said hollow central region,
- whereby said object is illuminated by light from said light source and viewable through said opening and wherein at least a portion of said floor is removable so that said object may be viewed through said body of said viewer.
An apparatus admitting viewing of an object, comprising:
- a. a body having an interior space into which the object may be inserted for viewing;
- b. an upper portion connected to the body and defining a planar opening through which the object may be viewed, the upper portion comprising a wall intersecting the plane of the opening and forming an angle of substantially greater than ninety degrees with respect thereto;
- and
- c. a light source underlying the wall and positioned within the interior space so as to illuminate the object.
A viewing apparatus comprising:
- a body having a hollow central region bounded by four sides and a floor, with an upper side of said body having a viewing opening therein sized to allow viewing of an object in said hollow central region, the body further being provided with at least one hollow side, with a common wall between said hollow side and said hollow central region, and
- a light source, comprising an illumination bulb energized by an electrical power source housed within a said hollow side, located to direct light into said hollow central region,
- whereby said object is illuminated by light from said light source and viewable through said opening.
A viewing apparatus comprising:
- a body having a hollow central region bounded by four sides and a floor, with an upper side of said body having a viewing opening therein sized to allow viewing of an object in said hollow central region and at least one of the four sides having an interior surface configured for reflecting light onto said object, said interior surface being adjustable to reflect light through an opening in one of said four sides, and
- a light source located to direct light into said hollow central region,
- whereby said object is illuminated by light from said light source and viewable through said opening.
