The thermometer element is attached to the face of the mount and a thick pad, such as a calendar is affixed to the mount face with a straight edge of the pad aligned essentially parallel to and immediately adjacent the glass tube of the thermometer. In one implementation, the mount includes a carboard back panel and a cardboard face panel with a well formed by a window cutout therein. The thermometer is attached to the back panel in the well with the glass tube aligned with one window cutout edge. The pad is affixed adjacent that edge and the glass tube. Protection against breakage when mailing or shipping the display mount is thus provided without additional carboard or other protective material, resulting in lower manufacturing and mailing costs.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1979Date of Patent: April 28, 1981Inventor: Carroll N.

Patent number: 4251935Abstract: A perpetual calendar in the form of a desk calendar or wall supporting calendar including a front panel with a window cutout revealing a laterally movable slide having a projecting tab thereon engageable with notches or seats to properly locate the slide in relation to the window and maintain the slide in position. The calendar also includes printed indicia above the window opening indicating the days of the week and printed indicia below the window opening indicating the years. The slide includes indicia indicating the date of the month and additional indicia indicating the month of the year thereby providing easily adjusted indicia which can be readily observed to provide a calendar which will properly indicate the day of the week, the month, the date of the month and the year for many years.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1979Date of Patent: February 24, 1981Inventor: Marvin A.

Patent number: 4178019Abstract: A date reminder calendar includes a plurality of stacked sheets each representing a different date. Each of the sheets is provided with an elongate marking area which is adapted to be marked in a manner readily distinguishable from similar areas which have not been marked. Each sheet is formed with a plurality of elongate parallel openings or slots which are successively smaller in relation to the marking area and each of which is aligned with another marking area on another sheet. By stepping or displacing the marking areas from each other on successive sheets of a group of sheets to avoid overlap, a marked area becomes larger and more prominent with the removal of each successive sheet to thereby increasingly signify the imminency of the date and the reminder associated with the marked area.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1978Date of Patent: December 11, 1979Inventor: Milton Gedzelman

Patent number: 4077032Abstract: Electronic display apparatus simulating a mechanical analog display for the portrayal of two or more measured variables includes an indicator assembly having a substrate supporting a plurality of optically variable elements, combinations of which enable the visual presentation of the measured parameters relative to a fixed scale or to each other. The apparatus is especially well suited for use as the time display of an electronic horological instrument either alone or together with a month and date digital display and/or a day of the week display which includes an array of seven indicators five of which are arranged to form a separately discernable group representing the days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The display apparatus is electronically driven and includes no moving parts.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 1976Date of Patent: February 28, 1978Inventor: S. Alan Volkman

Patent number: 4043573Abstract: The device consists of a note pad formed of a plurality of stacked pages, each page including means to visually differentiate a given page from other adjacent pages, each said page including a plurality of separate sections, each section being adapted to accommodate writing thereon one item each in a "things to do" list, each page having a series of detachable tabs, one for each said section, the tabs of each page including the visual differentiation means of that page, the said series of tabs on each page being superposed when all pages in the note pad are lying flat. When an item that has been written in one of the said sections is acted upon, the tab corresponding to that section is detached, and the absence of said tab is prominently displayed against the contrasting visual background of the tab of an adjacent page, thus permitting the rapid visual scanning of the in-place tabs to determine the status of all items in the list.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 1974Date of Patent: August 23, 1977Inventor: Arthur F.

Patent number: 3964195Abstract: A single and/or continuing event calendar which particularly lends itself to computer print-out. The calendar is in the form of defined rectangular spaces arrayed in the manner of a conventional monthly calendar with the definition of the spaces accomplished both vertically and horizontally by a series of dash lines spaced from each other, but with the horizontal lines defining each space being interrupted by the name of the day and the date applicable to such space. The calendar provides desired information in summary form concerning a plurality of single and/or continuing events in a given field of interest and which may occur concurrently and/or sequentially during the period of a particular month (or any part thereof).Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 1975Date of Patent: June 22, 1976Inventor: Mary Ann McClurkin Jordan
