Abstract: A vertical sundial comprises a substantially flat dial face (2) provided with dial markings and gnomon (3) supported in a fixed position relative to the dial face (2) which in use casts a shadow on a first side of the dial face (2). The sundial is adapted to be free-standing on a generally flat and horizontal surface and the dial face (2) is translucent such that the shadow cast by a gnomon on the first side of the dial face can be observed from the second side of the dial face. The dial markings are adapted to be read from the second side of the dial face to give a time indication.

Abstract: A letter weighing device has a slidable fulcrum to indicate the exact weight of a letter or the like being weighed. The letter weighing device has an elongate member having upper and lower elongate surfaces, the upper elongate surface supporting two spaced apart and substantially parallel resilient ribs extending longitudinally along the elongate member so as to define a recess therebetween. Further, at least a portion of each rib extends in a direction generally toward the other rib. A fulcrum member is mounted upon the upper surface so as to be moveable along the length of the elongate member. The fulcrum member supports the elongate member from above. Additionally, a parallel pair of ribs define a recess therebetween in which additional items can be stored.
