Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a display screen reader for enlarging characters and the like displayed on the display screen of a personal computer or a word processor.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, it is very difficult for a person who has low vision to read or view materials to see small characters. Therefore, it is generally known to hold a lens in the hand and magnify the characters for viewing. Further, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-63243 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-19018 are disclosed as those which can be read without being held by a hand. Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-63243 is a observatory characterized by being equipped with a magnifying glass that can be used for free, which enlarges the characters of a book set on the support. Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-19018 discloses that a Fresnel lens type loupe is connected to a frame with a fixture and a slidable guide and pins, and a paper or film sheet of data is attached to the frame and the lower surface of the lens for use. Is a reader.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, the one described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 60-63243 is a pedestal for exclusive use of books, and while reading can be done with the book released, the distance between the book holding plate and the lens is narrow due to the focal length. Since it is located, it was necessary to flip up the lens and turn the page each time the page was changed, and then restore the lens again to focus. On the other hand, the one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-19018 must be used by mounting it on a flat surface such as a desk because of its structure, and like the above-mentioned publication, the lens is bounced at each page break. It was troublesome to handle it because it was necessary to lift it, turn over the pages, and restore the lens again to focus. And these devices are limited to a reader for reading, and there has never been a device for enlarging and displaying characters on a display screen of a personal computer or a word processor.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a supporting rod is hung vertically on the upper surface of the base, and a fixing member for mounting a slide member is provided on the upper portion of the supporting rod, and the sliding member is rotatably attached to the fixing unit. A reader for a display screen is characterized in that a Fresnel lens type loupe is slidably mounted on a slide portion of a slide member. In the second aspect, the fixed portion is slidably attached to the outer periphery of the support rod. Further, in claim 3, a clip is fixedly attached to either end of the support rod instead of the base.

[0005]

[Action]

 Place the base so that the Fresnel lens type magnifier of the display screen reader is located in front of the display screen of the personal computer or word processor. Turn on the power of the personal computer or word processor, start up the system, and start various business processes. When the characters, etc. are displayed on the screen, move the base back and forth and left and right so that the characters, etc. are most visible, and adjust the distance between the display screen and the Fresnel lens type loupe to focus. During data processing, slide the fixed part up or down or slide the Fresnel lens type loupe to the left or right so that the Fresnel lens type loupe is positioned at the character display position on the display screen. In the case of a clip-type display screen reader, use the clip in the same manner as above by locking the clip at an appropriate location around the OA disc.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a display screen reader according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The main components of the present invention are made of plastic, wood, stone, metal, non-ferrous metal, etc. or a combination thereof. The base 1 is formed in a slightly flat cube. A column-shaped support rod 2 is vertically provided near the upper end of the base 1, and a fixing portion 3 is attached to the upper portion of the support rod 2. Rubber or plastic leg pieces 17 are attached to the four corners of the lower surface of the base 1 with screws 24. The mounting surface 4 of the fixed portion 3 is formed in a circular shape, and a screw hole 5 is formed at the center thereof. The slide part 6 is a long flat plate, and a long hole 7 of about half to ⅔ of the total length is formed near the center part thereof. As shown in FIG. 3, a slide piece 8 having a U-shaped cross section is fixed to the side surface of the bottom portion of the slide portion 6 with the open portion facing upward. A locking portion 9 having a circular surface corresponding to the mounting surface 4 of the fixed portion 3 is provided at one end of the slide portion 6, a hole 10 is provided at the center thereof, and a screw 11 and a washer 12 are used. It is screwed onto the mounting surface 4 of the fixed portion 3. Here, when the screw 11 is loosened, the mounting surface of the locking portion 9 moves rotatably with respect to the mounting surface 4 of the fixing portion 3, so the screw 11 is tightened and fixed after setting the most suitable angle. . A slide guide 14 is attached to one end of the long side of the Fresnel lens type loupe 13 over the entire side, and a screw hole 15 is provided in the center of the slide guide 14. Next, the slide guide 14 is placed on the groove of the slide piece 8 provided on the bottom side surface of the slide portion 6, and the guide screw 16 is inserted from the elongated hole 7 side into the screw hole 15 and slidably attached. The slide guide 14 is fixed by tightening the guide screw 16, and the Fresnel lens type loupe 13 can be fixed at a specific position on the display screen. .

FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of the fixing portion 3a according to the second embodiment. The fixed portion 3a includes a circular mounting surface 4, a sliding portion 18, a fixing screw 19, and a washer 20. A screw hole 5 is formed in the center of the mounting surface 4. A U-shaped sliding portion 18 is fixed to the rear surface of the mounting surface 4 such that the open portion side is in contact with the mounting surface 4 side. A guide hole 21 is vertically passed through the sliding portion 18 and is slidably inserted from the upper portion of the support rod 2. A fixing screw 19 and a washer 20 are inserted through the screw hole 22 at the side of the sliding portion 18. When the fixing screw 19 is tightened, the tip of the fixing screw 19 abuts on the outer peripheral portion of the support rod 2, and the support rod 2 and the fixing portion 3a are fixed at that position. Since the support rod 2 and the guide hole 21 are slidably inserted, the support rod 2 can be rotated not only vertically but also in the circumferential direction around the support rod 4.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment. In this embodiment, a clip 23 is provided at the lower end portion of the support rod 2 instead of the base 1. A support rod is fixed to the side of the clip 23 so that it can be locked to the end of the OA desk or the crosspiece.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, the characters and the like displayed on the display can be easily read through the display screen reader by enlarging them and without holding them by hand. Therefore, it not only reduces the fatigue of the eyes of people who work for a long time, but it is also a very useful idea for people with weak eyesight.
