Advertising support with illuminated magnifier

A table-top advertising support with illuminated magnifier (also referred to as a table topper), comprising:

• a junction block having an upper portion and a lower portion, said lower portion having a first slot and a second slot, said first and second slots being directed outwardly from said lower portion of said junction block, said upper portion of said junction block having a first upwardly angled slot and a second upwardly angled slot;
• a leg member having an upper portion, a lower portion, and a lower edge, said upper portion of said leg member being press fit into said first slot;
• a magnifying leg member having an upper portion, a lower portion, and a lower edge, said upper portion of said magnifying leg member being press fit into said second slot, so that the leg member and the magnifying leg member flare outwardly down and away from said junction block so the lower edge of said leg member and the lower edge of said magnifying leg member rest on the table and form a stable base of support for the table topper;
• a lamp-switch-battery assembly attached to said bottom portion of said junction block;
• a first vertical pane having a bottom portion and an upper portion;
• a second vertical pane having a bottom portion and an upper portion;
• wherein said bottom portion of said first vertical plane is frictionally biasedly received in said first upwardly angled slot in said upper portion of said junction block and said bottom portion of said second vertical pane is frictionally biasedly received in said second upwardly angled slot, so that the upper portions of said vertical panes are pressed together to hold a card or paper containing information inserted between said first vertical pane and said second vertical pane;
• and
• wherein actuation of said switch energizes said lamp and illuminates the area beneath and between said leg member and said magnifying leg member.

A table-top advertising support with illuminated magnifier (also referred to as a table topper), comprising:

• a vertical foldover transparent display panel having a longer section, a u-shaped fold, and a shorter section 858, said longer section having a lower portion 860;
• a junction member having an integrally molded vertical slot upstanding from a downwardly flared portion and a switch aperture in said downwardly flared portion, said downwardly flared portion terminating in parallel side edges and parallel end edges, said vertically upstanding slot frictionally biasedly receiving said lower portion of said longer section of said vertical foldover display panel;
• a switch disposed in said aperture, said switch connected in series with a lamp and at least one battery, said switch-lamp-battery assembly attached to said junction member;
• a first leg member connected to a second leg member by a horizontal rectangular section, said horizontal rectangular section having at least one electrical connector aperture for routing electrical connectors related to said switch-lamp-battery assembly, said horizontal rectangular section terminated in parallel side edges and parallel end edges, at least one said leg member having a frame containing a molded fresnel lens;
• wherein said parallel side edges of said horizontal rectangular section engage said parallel side edges of said flared portion of said junction member;
• and
• wherein said parallel end edges of said horizontal rectangular section engage said parallel end edges of said flared portion of said junction member.

A table-top advertising support with illuminated magnifier (also referred to as a table topper), comprising:

• a first leg member having a frame and a fresnel lens within said frame, said first leg member having an integral molded vertically upstanding slot;
• a vertical display member having an upper frame portion for holding advertising or informational material and a tongue, said tongue being frictionally biasedly received within said integral molded vertically upstanding slot, said upper frame portion of said vertical display member having staggered opposing tabs cooperatively forming a pair of vertically aligned elongated slots and a bottom rail essentially co-planar with said vertically aligned slots;
• and
• a switch-lamp-battery assembly attached to said first leg member.
