A compact, portable combined light and magnifier apparatus (10) for use with a portable computer (12), such as a portable, hand-held video game, having a video screen (24), such apparatus comprises a body (14) composed of a plurality of panels which define an open space generally the size of the video screen and a battery compartment (16) to supply power and lighting means within the body to provide indirect lighting to the video screen, the body and the battery compartment containing ridges which provide for the body to be releasably secured to the computer with the video screen. The apparatus includes a cover (20) to fit over the open viewing space of the body and pivotable between a closed, compact position adjacent the face side of a body (14) and an open, use position extending generally perpendicularly outwardly from the face side of the body (14). The magnifier portion comprises a frame (30) and a magnifying lens (28) secured within the frame, the lens adapted to conform generally with the computer video screen, the frame (30) being pivotably secured within the cover (20) and adapted to move between a compact, stored position extending generally perpendicularly from the face of the cover (20) when the cover is extending perpendicularly from the face of the body (14) to place the magnifying lens (28) a defined, fixed distance directly over the video screen. <IMAGE> |
