ABSTRACT:
The present version of the invention relates to the field of reading stands in general. This version of the invention discloses a portable stand that provides a magnifier for either writing or reading so that the user can engage in either activity and be afforded magnification of the written or printed page in a variety of locations and circumstances. The invention consists of a side support member, rear support member, and magnifying panel. The panel and support embers are manufactured of material that is clear, durable, scratch resistant, and rigid, such as acrylic or the like. The support members are rectangular in shape and are formed with a plurality of mounting grooves that run in parallel along the longitudinal axis of the support members. The side support member is formed with a retaining groove placed near the vertical or shorter edge of the member for receipt of the rear support member in tongue and groove fashion. The magnifying panel is inserted into the appropriate mounting grooves and retained therein for the appropriate activity, such as writing and reading. For writing, the magnifying panel is inserted in the grooves farthest from plane of the writing surface to accommodate the writing hand and writing instrument. For right-handed writers, the side support member is placed to the left of the writing hand; for left-handed writers, the magnifying panel is removed and the joined support members are turned over so that the side support member is placed to the right of the writing hand. The magnifying panel is inserted into the appropriate mounting grooves.
