Abstract: This invention counts golf strokes per hole. It is worn on a golfer's wrist, on a lanyard, placed in a pocket, or clipped on one's clothing. It allows a full range of non-restrictive movement and is indexed between twelve positions patterned after the hours of a clock. The starting position is at 12 o'clock, first shot is 1 o'clock, second shot is 2 o'clock, etc. This enables the user to simply click to the subsequent position without the need to read the display. The pointer is mounted to a base and rotates, having 12 equally spaced positions. Each position is secured in place by means of a ball or radius shaft that is spring-loaded into one of the 12 equally spaced indentations in the base. The ball requires little or no friction during indexing but provides sufficient holding pressure, ensuring that the indicator is held firmly into position.

Abstract: This invention is a mechanical device that counts golf strokes per hole. It is designed to be worn on a golfer's wrist, on a lanyard, placed in a pocket, or clipped on one's clothing. The device allows a full range of non-restrictive movement. The counter is indexed between twelve positions, patterned after the hours of an analog clock, thus the score is easily read. The starting position is at 12 o'clock, first shot is 1 o'clock, second shot is 2 o'clock, etc. This design enables the user to simply click to the subsequent position without the need to read the display. The pointer is mounted to a base and rotates, having 12 equally spaced positions. Each position is secured in place by means of a ball or radius shaft that is spring-loaded into one of the 12 equally spaced indentations in the base. The ball requires little or no friction during indexing but provides sufficient holding pressure, ensuring that the indicator is held firmly into position.

Abstract: A calculator of flat design with a surface chart showing marginal scales and diagonal inner ones. The top of the calculator serves as a cover attached marginally to a case underneath. Also, the top has a diagonal slot, and is surmounted by a flat pointer which has a similar slot, and can be slid and rotated to relate to numerical values in the scales. An axial post is installed to pass through and be movable to any desired point in the slots, with means disengaging the post by finger pressure for movement away from said point.

Abstract: A counting device with ball actuated, aligned, rotatable indicating elements is disclosed that is particularly useful as a clock. The device includes a plurality of indicating elements rotatable around parallel axes, arranged side by side in three columns. Each indicating element includes a display portion and a ball actuated flange, mounted on a common axle with the flanges of adjacent elements in each column forming a ball conveying track. The elements are successively rotated to the upward display position by a ball whose continued presence atop an element's flange causes an appropriate rotation of that element. The balls are continuously recycled by a synchronous motor elevator which collects the balls at their lowest position and returns them to their highest position in communication with the ball conveying tracks. After all of the indicating elements in a column have been raised to their display position, the ball resets the first rotated element causing it to reset the adjacent elements.
