Abstract:

This invention relates to a reading aid having substantially non-glare, with controlled directional light for restrictive light reading. The present non-glare night reader includes a plurality of lights disposed within the body of the reader, and about the peripheral edges thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the present non-glare reader includes a unitary frame and handle, the frame having either four or five sides each of which defines a perimeter of the night reader. In the five-sided embodiment, the reader has two perimeter edges disposed angularly such that when in combination with a receptive stand, the combination provides a convenient storage facility for the night reader. In both the four and five sided embodiments, there is disposed within the inner edge of the frame, a plurality of miniature light bulbs which are connected to a suitable source of electricity. The frame is typically opaque on the upper surface to shield the bulbs from the reader, and to further encloses a low glare glass pane, if desired.
