TV viewing system

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus is provided that aids in viewing a screen by a reclined viewer, which is of low cost and lightweight construction, easy to install and set up, and easily moved out of the way.
The apparatus includes a frame and a pair of mirrors mounted on the frame.
A first of the mirrors is positioned primarily directly above the eyes of the viewer for easy direct viewing by him/her, while the second mirror is positioned to reflect light from the screen to the first mirror so the first mirror can reflect the light to the viewer.
The use of two mirrors provides an image that enables reading of words on the screen (not "mirror image"), while facilitating adjustment.
One apparatus includes a wall mount for mounting directly on a vertical wall of a room or of a bed headboard.
An arm extending forwardly from the wall mount has an arm outer end that supports a mirror holder on which the two mirrors are held.
The mirrors are pivotally mounted about parallel, primarily horizontal axes on the mirror holder for adjustment.
The arm has an inner end that is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis on the wall mount, to allow the arm and mirror holder to pivot so the mirror holder lies near the wall and is out of the way of the viewer when the viewer rises from the bed.
The novel features of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims.
The invention will be best understood from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
