<p>An adjustable magnifying attachment (20) for a hand held implement is provided. The adjustable magnifying attachment includes a support base (22), an extension arm (26), a lens holder (32), and a magnifying lens (38). The support base has a hole (23) and a slot (24), which is configured to receive a portion of the hand held implement and to secure the support base (22) on the hand held implement. The extension arm (26) has a first end section (27) and a second end section (28). The first end section of the extension arm is snugly mounted in the hole in the base but may still rotate and slide in the hole in the support base (22). The second end section of the extension arm (26) terminates in a clip (30). The lens holder retains the magnifying lens (38) and includes a mounting bracket (34) with a pivot (37) rod that joins a pair of opposed bracket arms (35/36) at a position spaced apart from the lens holder. The pivot rod (37) is secured in the clip (30) of the extension arm (26) so that the lens holder may pivot about the pivot rod (37). The magnifying attachment has a wide range of adjustability even after the magnifying attachment is mounted on a hand held implement. This allows the user to position the magnifying lens near the object being worked on so that best viewing angle and distance can be attained. <IMAGE></p> |
