ABSTRACT:
A curved container structure has an interior curved reflective surface for reflecting varied and distorted images of objects placed therein or within the near focal range of the reflective surface. A rigid curved structure is metalized on the interior or on the exterior of a transparent structure. A reflective flexible disc has a radial slit with the two sides of the slit overlapping and held together by a temporary binder to form an adjustable cone. A protective cover over the reflective surface is transparent when used on the interior of the container. Objects on a holder are inserted into the curved structure through a main viewing opening or an opposite apex opening. A collar on the holder secures a cord for moving objects hanging therefrom. A rod within a tube may adjustably secure a cord therebetween. One or more cords, such as elasticized cords, may be stretched across or dangled into the viewing opening. A cover, with an attached cord for dangling the object, may be placed over the viewing opening. A watertight curved structure may contain liquid with objects floating therein. The device may be held by hand or on a support. A greeting card or similar structure contains a flexible curved viewing container attached therein, so that opening the card opens the curved viewing container. The reflective curved viewing container suspended by a cord with an object suspended from a cord inside the viewing container forms a mobile or a crib toy.
