Reading stand with attached magnifying glass

Abstract

Disclosed is a reading stand with attached magnifying glass, in which the magnifying glass is of a size substantially identical to a copy holder of the reading stand and is mounted at a parallel position spaced apart from the copy holder of the reading stand at a certain distance so as to allow a relative position to the copy holder to be adjusted. The reading stand with attached magnifying glass, which includes a base plate, a copy holder and a slant adjusting girder and is capable of adjusting the copy holder to have a preset slant angle relative to the base plate, comprises the magnifying glass having a size substantially identical to the copy holder, and a positioning means, coupled to an upper portion of the magnifying glass, for allowing shifting of the magnifying glass in at least one direction of y- and z-axial directions, so that the magnifying glass is positioned on a plane parallel to the copy holder.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A reading stand comprising: 
 a base plate;    a copy holder;    a slant adjusting girder which is capable of adjusting the copy holder to have a preset slant angle relative to the base plate;    a magnifying glass spaced apart from the copy holder and having a size substantially identical to that of the copy holder; and    a positioning means, movably coupled to an upper portion of the magnifying glass and to an upper portion of the copy holder, for shifting the magnifying glass in y- and z-axial directions, so that the magnifying glass is positioned on a plane parallel to the copy holder.    
     
     
         2 . A reading stand as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a lighting means attached to at least one edge of a rear surface of the magnifying glass.  
     
     
         3 . A reading stand as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising a frame surrounding the magnifying glass, wherein 
 the positioning means is coupled with the frame, and    the lighting means is attached to at least one edge of a rear surface of the frame.    
     
     
         4 . A reading stand as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the lighting means is a fluorescent lamp.  
     
     
         5 . A reading stand as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the fluorescent lamp is attached to both opposite edges of the magnifying glass.  
     
     
         6 . A reading stand as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning means comprises: 
 a first guide plate attached adjacently to a rear upper portion of the copy holder;    a first fixture inserted by the first guide plate and shifting along the guide plate in the z-axial direction;    a second guide plate formed integrally to the first fixture and formed with a longitudinal slide slot in the y-axial direction at a middle thereof; and    a second fixture allowed to be shifted along the slide slot in the y-axial direction, fixed to the magnifying glass on one end thereof, and fastened by a fastening means on the other end thereof, the fastening means passing through the slide slot of the second guide plate.
