ABSTRACT:
The viewer is designed to look at a television screen located at the foot of a bed while lying back down on the bed and looking upward to the viewer. The latter comprises a pair of mutually-facing flat mirrors supported by a frame in spaced-apart relationship, the mirrors diverging downwardly. The frame is in the form of a casing opening downwardly, with a top wall provided with an opening surrounding the rim of a lamp shade, the frame being rotatably supported by the lamp shade. The base of the lamp is fixed to a stationary structure near the bed. The lamp is of the type in which the lamp shade can be adjustably positioned in space, so as to support the viewer in the proper position and at the proper angle with respect to the user and the television apparatus. The lamp can be used for reading or the like since the light bulb is exposed in the space between the two mirrors.
