Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a perpetual calendar that can be used in any calendar month.

[Prior Art] As a conventional perpetual calendar, there is one shown in FIG. 6, for example. This consists of 4 columns of 7 numbers each from 1 to 28, and 29 to 31 numbers arranged in the fifth column. In this case, although not shown, the characters "Sun" to "Sat" are written on an elongated slide piece and placed above the corresponding number for each calendar month. for example,
In November 1987, the 1st falls on a Sunday, so
Make sure that the kanji for ``日'' on the slide piece is above the digit for ``1''.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] This type of conventional calendar has the following drawbacks.

(1) It is necessary to adjust and bring slides with the kanji for "Sun" to "Sat" written on them for each calendar month.
If you only print characters like the one shown in Figure 6,
It cannot be used as a calendar.

(2) The days that make up one month are arranged vertically and horizontally in a matrix, with one day at the center, the next day and the previous day on both sides in one direction, and the week on both sides in the other direction. The previous day and the day one week ahead are shown, but for example, three days after the reference date,
It is impossible to immediately know the date, such as 4 days later.

(3) As shown in Figure 6, from the first column to the fourth column there are seven numbers each and they are arranged in a rectangular shape, but in the last column there are three extra letters from 29 to 31. It sticks out and doesn't look good.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, this invention employs the following configuration.

1, 2, 3, in the first row extending in one direction
Place the number 4, and in a second row parallel to this place the numbers 5, 6, and 7, where the number 5 is between the numbers 1 and 2, and the number 6 is between the numbers 2 and 2. and 3, the number 7 is placed between the numbers 3 and 4, and the numbers 8 to 11 are placed in the third column parallel to the first and second columns, in this case. , the number 8 is placed in the sequence of numbers 1, the number 9 is placed in the sequence of numbers 2, the number 10 is placed in the sequence of numbers 3, and the number 11 is placed in the sequence of numbers 4, and so on. , 12 to 14 in the fourth column
numbers from 15 to 18 in the fifth column,
In the sixth column the numbers 19 to 21 are arranged, in the seventh column the numbers 22 to 25, in the eighth column the numbers 26 to 28, and in the ninth column the numbers 29 to 31. In other words, there are blank spaces with no numbers outside the number 25.

[Effect] See "Operations of Examples" section.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of this invention. In this example, 1, 2, 3, 4
In the second horizontal column, the number 5 is placed between the numbers 1 and 2, and the number 6 is placed between the numbers 1 and 2.
The number 7 is placed between the numbers 2 and 3, and the number 7 is placed between the numbers 3 and 4. In the third column, the number 8 is placed directly below the number 1, to the left of the number 5, and the number 9 is placed between 5 and 6.
The number 10 is placed between 6 and 7, and the number 11 is placed directly below the 4 or to the right of the 7. Similarly, in the fourth column, numbers 12 to 14 are the second
In the fifth column, the numbers 15 to 18 are arranged similarly to the numbers 8 to 11 in the third column. Thereafter, numbers 19 to 21 are arranged in the sixth column, numbers 22 to 25 in the seventh column, and numbers 26 to 28 in the eighth column. In the ninth column, numbers 29 to 31 are arranged. 29 numbers outside 26, 30
numbers between 26 and 27, and numbers 31 and 27.
It is placed between 28 and 25, and only the inner shape is displayed directly below 25.

In this way, there are four numbers in the first column and three numbers in the second column, so
These two columns describe the 7th day that belongs to one week. Each number in one column is placed between two adjacent numbers belonging to an adjacent column or further outside the number at the end of the column. Therefore, the day one week after a certain specific day is an adjacent day in the direction orthogonal to the column to which that day belongs. For example, the day one week after the 1st is the 8 directly below the 1, i.e. the 8
It becomes a day. Also, the day two weeks after the 1st is the 15th, moving downwards from the number 1 to the second number 15, or the 15th.

The modification shown in FIG. 2 aims at a unique design effect by connecting the numbers arranged as shown in FIG. 1 with straight lines.

The modified example in FIG. 3 differs from that in FIG. 2 in that each number is connected with a line.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, each row of numbers is arranged in a vertical direction, whereas in the case of FIG.
It is completely similar to the embodiment shown. However, the straight lines connecting each number are only placed vertically and horizontally.

The embodiment of FIG. 5 has four short radial lines drawn around a circle surrounding each number, aiming for a unique design effect.

In all of the above embodiments, the numbers are displayed within a circular frame line, but a rectangular or other shaped frame line may also be used, or only the numbers may be displayed without using a frame line. You can.

In this case, numbers include Chinese numerals, Roman numerals, etc.

[Effect of the embodiment] For example, the calendar of the embodiment shown in FIG.
Assume that it will be used in November. Assume that the day of use is Monday, November 16th.

For example, the user wants to know the fourth Monday of the month. The vertical column to which the number 16 belongs, that is, the numbers 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30, represent days that fall on Mondays, so they are the fourth numbers counting from the top number 2. 23, that is, the 23rd represents the fourth Monday.

Also, assume that the user wants to know the second Sunday of the month. The number to the left of the number 16 is 15, indicating that the 15th is Sunday. Therefore, 15
Each number belonging to the vertical column to which the number belongs indicates the Sunday of the month. Therefore, the second Sunday is the second number from the top in this column, or the 8th.

Furthermore, the diagonally upper right corner of the number 16 is 13, indicating that the day three days before the 16th is the 13th. Also,
The diagonally lower left corner of the number 16 is 19, which means that the 19th is three days after the 16th. Furthermore, the upper left of the number 16 is the number 12, and we can see that the 4 days before the 16th is the 12th. Diagonally below and to the right of the number 16 is the number 20, and we can also see that the number 4 days after the 16th is 20. In this way, three days before, three days after, four days before, and four days after a predetermined day can be immediately known.

Also, centering on the number 16, the number to the right is the next day (17
The one on the left shows the previous day (15th), the one on the top shows the week before (9th), and the one on the bottom shows the day one week later (23rd).

In this way, using this calendar,
You can instantly know what happened 1 day ago, 1 day later, 3 days ago, 3 days later, 4 days ago, 4 days later, 7 days ago, and 7 days later.

Furthermore, in this calendar, four numbers are arranged in the first column, three numbers are arranged in the second column, and thereafter a row of four numbers and a row of three numbers are repeated in the same manner. , the last column contains three numbers, with the right end left blank. If these blank spaces are filled in with circles as shown or other designs, the arrangement of the numbers on this calendar will be symmetrical both horizontally and vertically, showing an even and beautiful overall arrangement of numbers. . Furthermore, even if no figure or symbol is written in the blank space at the bottom right, it can still be said to be a well-balanced arrangement.

In the case of the embodiments shown in Figures 4 and 5, if we also focus on the number 16, the number 15 next to it
The number indicates the previous day, the 15th, and the number next to it is the 17th.
The number indicates the next day, the 17th, and the number on the left indicates the 9th.
The number represents the 9th one week ago, and the number 23 to the right represents the 23rd one week later. Furthermore, the number 13 on the lower left indicates the 13th, which is three days ago, and the number 19 on the upper right indicates the 13th, which is three days ago.
The number 12 on the upper left indicates the 19th, which is three days later, the number 12 on the upper left indicates the 12th, four days ago, and the number 20 on the lower right indicates the 20th, four days later. In addition, compared to the usage method of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, for example, when knowing the days that fall on the fourth Monday and the second Sunday, You can reverse it.

[Effect of the idea] This invention has the following effects.

(1) May be used in any calendar month;
There is no need to use a slide piece displaying the kanji for "Sun" to "Sat" together.

(2) You can instantly know not only 1 day before, 1 day later, 7 days ago, and 7 days later, but also 3 days ago, 3 days later, 4 days ago, and 4 days later.

(3) The arrangement is uniform in both the vertical and horizontal directions, giving it a good appearance.
