Definitions

  • the present invention is titled Perpetual Blind calendars, abbreviated (PBC) and deals with a variety of permanent advanced and combined calendars using basically mobile monthly units with daily displays using common variable symbols of One Letter Alphabet (OLA) system.
  • PBC Perpetual Blind calendars, abbreviated
  • OVA One Letter Alphabet
  • the present invention deals with a variety of advanced calendars, and combined calendars involving a Gregorian calendar and Oriental short months moon calendars, based on mobile months' units, where the month's units could be moved monthly or yearly with respect to the weekdays, which units are of long­itudinal shape, circular shape or the like and are positioned and held with respect to each other and the weekdays unit by means of: a) a base plate and guides guiding the units; b) opposite flexible trans­parent films or suspenders interconnected in between the monthly units, with the said films or suspenders suspended, or rolled in a form of a belt around a central shaft; c) chains supporting the opposite sides of the monthly units in a venetion blind pattern with a provision to move said units laterally; d) opposite solid transparent plates pressed against the month's units to keep them in place; e) cylindrical trans­parent concentric drums around which the longitudinal units are fastened; f) longitudinal strips packed in a slide rule pattern; g) circular rings or discs
  • the Prior Art uses mainly disposable calendars hinging basically around the 7 days weekly unit and since the number of days in the months differs from one month to the other, and while said numbers are not divisible by 7, it makes it difficult to produce re-usable calendars hinging on the 7 days weekly unit.
  • the present invention deals with a variety of perpetual calendars and combined calendars hinging around monthly units aligned with a number of weekdays displayed and positioned; a) in one row of weekdays and one parallel strip representing one month at a time; b) in one row of weekdays and 12 parallel strips for the 12 months of the year with the said strips, installed in between guides, suspended by transparent suspenders, pressed in between transparent plates, strapped around transparent cylinders, squeezed in a slide rule pattern, or the like; c) along circular discs or rings, with the provision to move the strips or discs representing the monthly units with respect to those representing the weekdays and with cursors to indicate the actual weekday and the corresponding date of the month and overall with One Letter Alphabet variable systems to display daily at a large scale the said actual day and its corresponding date, etc., resulting in a variety of perpetual calendars adapt­able for the wall, for the wrist and the pocket, that could be visually read at long distance and understood by the blind through touching process.
  • the present invention called the perpetual blind calendar and abbreviated as (PBC) deals with a variety of perpetual calendars and related issues, described as follows:
  • Fig. 1 shows a baseboard like No. 1, supporting a plurality of parallel strips like No. 2, 3 with equal size divisions.
  • the strip No. 3 is considered mobile and is marked with consecutive numbers representing the number of days in the longest month in the year, in the calendar under consideration.
  • the numbers marked on the months strip No. 3 are, from 1 to 31, occupying individually 31 divisions of the same size as the divisions on the weekdays strip No. 2.
  • Holding means like No. 7 are located at the main intersection of the lines of One Letter Alphabet (OLA) common variable symbols and are used as holding points for coloured display means spread in betwen the said holding points to display at a large scale the first letter of the actual weekday and its corresp­onding date.
  • OVA One Letter Alphabet
  • No. 8 identifies hanging means for wall calendars, consisting of holding means on the baseboard No. 1 and ties attachment.
  • Coloured display means (not shown) spread in between the holding means No. 7, to show at a large scale the current weekday and its date.
  • the item No. 9 is a decorative cover, tape or a sliding plate to hide the excess number of days at the end of the months strip when the current month is shorter than 31 days.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perpetual calendar consisting of a baseboard like No. 1, supporting a fixed weekday strip like No. 2, and 12 strips like No. 3A represent­ing individually the 12 consecutive months of the year.
  • Week separation lines like No. 12 are permanent­ly marked in between consecutive weeks to show at any time the dates of the weekends and serve at the same time as references in the alignment of the months' strips with the weekday strip.
  • Fig. 2X shows a long transparent cursor used to identify the weekday and its date.
  • the names of the 12 months of the year are marked on the window of the said cursor in line with the strips representing the corresponding months.
  • the current month is indicated by a marker, an elastic band, or the like slipped down along the cursor arm and positioned opposite the current month to indicate said month.
  • Fig. 3 shows a combined calendar consisting of a western Gregorian calendar and a Middle East Oriental calendar based on the moon shorter months.
  • Still another alternative is to install separate 12 months of the corresponding calendars back to back on the opposite sides of the baseboard with a double cursor like No. 4B, showing the correspondence between the two calendars, on the opposite sides of the assembly.
  • One of the corresponding calendars has to have the numbers indicating the dates of the month housed on separate mobile divisions inserted through guides forming a separate months strip each.
  • Fig. 4 shows a combined calendar similar to Fig. 3, with the difference that it relates to a western Gregorian calendar combined with a far East Chinese calendar.
  • FIG. 5 shows a perpetual foldable calendar in a venetian blind pattern consisting of a short baseboard like 1A, combined with a fixed weekday strip like No. 2, and 12 mobile strips like No. 3A, suspended at their opposite sides from the baseboard by means of:
  • the top baseboard No. 1 is stiffened with a plate like No. 18, from which additional ties like No. 19, are suspended and are used, at certain points along their links, as holding points like No. 7, for the display means No. 10 (not shown) to show at a large scale the first letter of the actual weekday and its corresponding date of the month.
  • holding means could be fasten­ed along the suspenders so saving the use of additional ties such as No. 19, or the like.
  • the resultant foldable calendar is presented either: a) as a wall suspended calendar in a venetian blind pattern; b) with both ends of the 12 strips joined together and rolled around a central shaft.
  • a flexible cursor like No. 4A is slid over guides mounted over the strips assembly, and consist­ing of flexible strings like No. 13, stretching over the strips No. 2, 3A, with weights like No. 14, suspended at the end of the strings to keep them stretched and a month indicator like No. 15, made of a pin held between the twists of the strings No. 13, and could be rolled inside the said twists and position­ed opposite the current month to identify said month.
  • Fig. 6 shows a cylindrical perpetual calendar consisting of a chassis like 1 (b), supporting a plurality of concentric transparent cylinders like No. 21, 21A.
  • the external cylinder No. 21 (a) is considered fixed and supports the weekdays strip No. 2, while the internal cylinder No. 21 is mobile and supports 12 strips like No. 3 (a), representing the 12 months of the year.
  • the strips are either wrapped around the cylinders and fastened by means of external flexible bands, by sticking means or the like, or rather they are inserted through grooves provided for them on the periphery of the circular discs, etc.
  • the weekdays and their dates are identified in between the strings of a flexible cursor, suspended from a guiding edge mounted on the chassis 1 (b) above the said cylinders.
  • the weekdays are shown on the outer cylinder and their dates are seen on the inner cylinder, on the month strip, seen adjacent to the weekdays strip.
  • a set of minimum 3 chains (not shown) are stretched above the calendar assembly or suspended below it to be used, at certain points, as holding means for One Letter Alphabet common variable symbols to display at a large scale the current weekday and its date.
  • Fig. 7 shows a perpetual calendar made in a slide rule pattern, consisting of a transparent longitudinal flat casing like No. 22, with a plurality of strips inserted inside the said casing: A weekdays strip like No. 2 marked at its opposite sides and 6 strips like No. 3(b) marked at opposite sides, representing the 12 months of the year and installed in 3 pairs back to back to each other.
  • the central holding points are provided by means of an elastic colourless string wrapped long­itudinally along the middle of the said calendar.
  • Fig. 8 shows a perpetual calendar consisting of a weekday strip like No. 2 and 12 strips like No. 3A, parallel to the strip No. 2 and held alto­gether in place by means of opposite transparent plates like No. 25, stuck, glued or pressed against each other, by means of Chicago screws or the like, with the 13 strips squeezed in between.
  • the resulting calendar is also provided with a cursor like Fig. 5X, with week separation lines like No. 12, with wall hanging means, etc.
  • Fig. 9 shows a perpetual circular calendar consisting of a plurality of concentric rings marked on superimposed discs like No. 2A, 3C, rotating around a central pin like No. 26.
  • the inner, smaller disc No. 3C representing the months of the year, is considered mobile with respect to the weekdays disc No. 2A, and houses around its periphery numbers from 1 to 31 occupying 31 divisions equal to 360°,/37 each.
  • a wall hanger like No. 8 and a triangular flexible cursor like 4D are combined to produce a cursor with its strings open by 360°/37.
  • an eccentric spring loaded pin (not shown) is housed in a slot on disc No. 2A, which pin engages in one of 7 notches cut on disc 3C to lock the two discs to each other.
  • Fig. 10 shows a perpetual circular calendar consisting of a plurality of concentric rings marked on superimposed variable sized discs like the weekdays disc No. 2B, and two sets of 6 smaller back to back discs like No. 3D, 3E representing the 12 months of the year, with the whole assembly of discs rotating around a central pin like No. 26.
  • the 12 discs No. 3D, 3E represent the 12 months of the year and each one of them is marked around its periphery outside the border of the adjacent concentric disc with consecutive numbers equal to the number of days in the month it represents, said numbers occupy divisions, having the same number of degrees as the weekdays division on disc No. 2B.
  • the circular calendar consists of circular concentric rings of a certain thickness, replacing the discs, rotating inside each other with a central pin for the whole assembly.
  • the 12 months of the year would be shown on one side of the calendar, otherwise, the oppositely marked months' rings have to be adjusted every 6 months with respect to the weekdays ring.
  • the said circular calendar is adaptable for a large wall calendar and for a pocket calendar, or the like.
  • the weekday is shown through the provided window and its corresponding date is read beside the indicated month above a flexible band like No. 30 (not shown) slided monthly on the arm of the trifork plate.
  • the opposite trifork plates are installed at the opposite sides of the concentric rings and pinned together with the said rings to prevent them from falling apart.
  • strings of the flexible cursor are made double at opposite sides of the said calendar and are passed through small rings or beads above the circular calendar which beads, when pulled down they clamp the opposite strings of the said cursor, against the calendar periphery and prevent it from rotating.
  • the calendar assembly uses:
  • Said cursor represents one arm of the trifork plates described in Fig. 10W.
  • a system consisting of a slot with a spring loaded pin mounted on the trans­parent cursor and engaging through notches cut at the periphery of the largest disc in a similar way to the system described for Fig. 9 and 10, No. 27, 28, 29, or the like.
  • the current month is indicated by means of a small bead tightly slipped on the said string and positioned opposite the current month.
  • the said bead is slipped along the said string and positioned in front of the following month to indicate said month.
