Abstract: A novel clock apparatus is provided which visually indicates attained time of day by the continuously changing placement order of accumulated spheroids as viewed at rest through framed outlined alignment within window-like apertures, respectively, the apertures being provided in association with time related indicia and defined in an outer wall of a selected housing enclosure. A spheroid is added to the window display for each minute of elapsed time through the provision of time referenced loading means. The housing enclosure is to be any of a variety of intriguing shapes and designs, with selected time-related groups of the apertures being either wholly horizontally aligned or selected groups of horizontally aligned apertures being vertically stacked with respect to each other. A preferred housing comprises a train-like assembly of coupled railway cars.

Abstract: A novel clock apparatus is provided which visually indicates attained time of day by the design of the placement order of free movable spheroids on a pivotable spheroid holder member effective to be sustained in a first stable position whereby spheroids can be loaded thereon to be positioned with reference to time related indicia numerals thereon until the number of such spheroids are then effective to cause pivoting of said holder member to a second stable position whereby loaded spheroids can be unloaded therefrom to place such unloaded spheroids into a closed or endless loop motion system whereby collecting means collect the unloading spheroids for reuse and time reference loading means reuse the unloaded spheroids against a predetermined time reference unit such as a minute by reloading the spheroids on to the holder member.
