Abstract
ABSTRACT
The invention contemplates a program monitoring display panel which allows for the relative change in events relative to a contemplated master program. This is achieved by having, essentially, three display members; namely, a first display member, a set of second display members and a third display member; the first display member being a long (continuous) ribbon depicting theron indicia of the original program; the set of second display members being, in reality, a plurality of members (ribbons) parallelly disposed, one each of said robbons indicates the execution or nonexecution of an event relative to a calendar; and the third display member depciting the calendar of time (time table) against which the program (first member) and its events (set of seconf members) run.
Each of the display members may be relatively positioned.
Hence, the relative execution time of an event as against the calendar or relative the program may be changed without redrawing the program chart. Such panel is a modified method of displaying a "PERT" chart as it dynamically changes.

Description
11~3153 The invention relates to a mechanical panel for representing adaptable or changing proyrams or activities within a master project.
In, for example, the management of a number of programs within a master project, the various activities of each program may or may not take place according to the master schedule of events contemplated for that project.
Hence, events may change relative to the calendar of time of the project and also relative to each other.
In the broadest aspect, therefore, this invention contemplates that the programs of a pro~ect and the calendar be graphically represented on a tablet of moving tapes or members wherein the members or tapes may be relatively positioned to display the relative time relationship and wherein the tapes themselves carry thereupon indicia or other static representations for example a colour depicting an event or a series of events of a given program and hence, cumulatively represent the events of the project.
In the prior art, there are such diverse systems such as the PERT-CPM~ which allows for graphic form expression of different pr~grams such as industrial, building, urbanistic, scientific, political and economic ones. In general, such systems may depict, all those activities -that require organzation in agreement with a dynamic time frame or period that the world is living in today.
The program monitor systems which are known in the prior art are generally expressed by means of static or relatively fixed diagrams which depict the program or more particularly the events in each program and their relative occurance. With them it is not possible to bring the program and their respective events up to date according to current changes in the time frame or in the actual execution of the events of thep rogram if the execution takes place other than on sched~le.
Consequently, the making of another program or update diagram which reflects the update situation is normally required and this implies, in addition, generally substantial costs and a considerable amount of time for making the ' ' :
: ~ .
~L~4~ 153 adjustments to the programs ancl their events.
~ ollowing the know methods that exist in the prior art any alteration in a critical activity or event within a program, which has not been graphically represented, leads to a total reprogramming of the depictions or of the program.
Thus, a new plate or drawings are required with the consequential loss of time, costs and monitoring efficiency.
The invention therefore contemplates a new program display panel for adjustably representing changing programs in a dynamic and changing manner, while also allowing the representation of the individual events at the moment they are created or occur without the need to make a totally new program or chart thereof. This allows depiction on the display panel of the modified scheduling of thep rojec-t in view of alterations to programs or events within the project while maintaining the depiction of project events relatively current and up to date.
Thus, in one aspect, the invention contemplates a mechanical panel to display events oE a project, the panel comprising:
- ~a) a housing with a hollow interior;
(b) first, second and third transport means;
(c) a first display member within the interior upon which is depicted indicia of an original program, the indicia exposed to view and attached, for transport, to the ~irst transpor-t means;
(d) a plurality of laterally extending second display members each disposed relatively parallel with the first display member, each of the second display members including a long ; ribbon member, wherein each of the ribbon members is adapted to have indicia similar to those imposed upon the first display member, said ribbon members attached for transport to ~- the second transport means;
(e) a third display member constituting a calendar and having representative indicia thereon, the third dlsplay me~ attached to said third . , .
i3 transport means, and also extending relative:Ly parallel to the first and second display members;
and, (f) means selectively moving each transport means, either in concert; or, relative to any of the others .
In another aspect the display members are endless loops which are held in tension over parallelly arranged yet spacially disposed axels, the acels relatively rotatable so as to transport the endless loops.
The invention will now be described by way of example and reference to the drawings but only as it relates to a preferred embodiment of the invention represented thereby.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a panel from its outside.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the same panel but from its inside.
Figure 3 is a cross-section along lines A-A of Fic3ure 2.
Figure 4 is a detailed, in plan, of axels 1 and 2 which are housed within the panel.
Figure 5 is a detailed plan view of axles 3 and 4 as housed within the panel.
Figure 6, located with Figure 2, is a section along lines B-B of Figure 2 (that is in a direction that is opposite to that of section A-A and Figure 4).
As a review of the foreyoing of this specification and the drawings will indicate, the attached Figures show a display panel 100 with a marginally disposed display region 5 upon which may be affixed thereon, for example, adhesively, indicia which depict a list that is vertically arranged of activities (not shown in detail) of a project~ Laterally adjacent to this upper display region 5, and in registry with each entry on the list of activities of the region 5, there extends laterally across the upper surface of the panel a plurality of vertically disposed longitudinal movable members preferably as endless tapes 7. The tapes 7 have thereon, not shown, indicia indicative of the activities of the events of the project. Below tl~ lurality of movable tapes 7, for ~. , . ~ , . ~

.
example, adjacent to the last tape 7' is a movable sheet 6 UpOIl which is depicted an original program of events.
Further, adjacent to this original program sheet 6, and running along the bottom of the display panel 100 is on endless calendar tape ~3, also horizontally movable, as will become apparent. Thus, the calendar tape 8, may be movable relative to the program tape 6 and each of the event tapes 7;
similarly, each of the event tapes 7 is relatively movable to each other, to the program tape 6 and also relative to the calendar tape 8.
The relative movement of the plurality of event tapes 7, program tape 6, and calendar tape 8, is performed by a composite transport mechanism that includes four axles, 1, 2, 3 and 4; axles 1 and 4 of larger diameter than axles 2 and 3, and with the aid of an endless loop structure to each of the tapes. The axles 2 and 3 are also relatively positioned within the housing 10 at opposite ends thereof but are of relatively smaller diameter to those of 1 and 2 and mounted respectively adjacent but inboard of the axles 1 and ~, as clearly shown.
Generally, each of the tapes 7 is continuous and, as -clearly seen in Figure 3, forms a loop, to circumscribe in frictional engagement around the larger outside axles 1 and 4. The program tape 6, is also a continuous loop but it is relatively looped in frictional engagement around axles 2 and 3. The calendar tape 8 is disposed laterally away from the event tapes 7 and, is a continuous loop, looping around the larger axle 1, on the one hand, and the smaller axle 3, on the other, all as clearly seen in F`igure 6.
The axles, 1, 2, 3 and 4, may, conveniently terminate at bearings 9 as shown in Figure 4 and 5.
It is now convenient to more specifically describe each of the axles.
Axle 1 has surmounted thereon a plurality of adjacently positioned (only two are shown) stepped reels 10, which are press fitted over the axle 1 so that there is substantial frictional engagement between each of the reels 10 and circumference of axle 1, ~ reby to constrain each of the ~ ' reels 10 relative angular position, and to the axle 1 ancl in lateral position as well. Thus, when the axle 1 is rotated, as will become apparent, each of the reels 10 will correspondingly rotate. It is on each of the stepped reel 10, for instance, on the ~lange 10' thereof, that a single event tape 7 is frictionally passed as an endless loop (now shown as such in Figure 4) and the continuous event tape extends to loop over the opposite larger axle 4. Along the other large axle 4 are a plurality of grooves 18, as shown in F`igure 5, and these grooves each accommodate one of the looped event tapes 7. The cooperation, therefore, between the adjacent reels 10 on axle 1 and the fixed location of the grooves 18 located in axle 4 holds each of the parallelly positioned event tapes in relative parallel alignment and in registry with a vertical segment of the display region 5.
Since each of the reels 10 is frictionally bound to an axle, by relatively rotating one of the reels 10 relative to the axle 1 so that the relative pOSitiOIl of its member event tape 7 will be change relative to all other event tapes. This will also change the position of these event tapes relative to the program project tape 6. Ereedom to change relative relationships, therefore, of the mandatory intervening events (steps) - commonly known as "PERT CHART STEPS", is thus achieved.
Referring to the section Figure 5, the axle 4 has a projection which extends beyond the wall 13' of the housing so as to terminate at an exterior control knob 11. ~ithin the housing wall 13' is a recess which is in alignment with the -~ axle 4 and accommodates a gear 13 that is coincident with the exterior control knob 11 and axle 4. The adjacent sma~ler axle 3 likewise terminates at a gear 12 as shown. An idler wheel 14 meshes with both gears 12 and 13. Hence, when the knob 11 is rotated both axles 3 and 4 will rotate synchronously in the common direction. It is essential, however, that the number of gear teeth for gears 13 ancl 12 be relatively porportional to the respective diameters of the axles 4 and 3 so that on rotation of the exterior control knob 11 the degree of rotation imparted to both axles 3 and 4 is ' i ' ~, .' ' - .
~43~S3 the same; thus the transport of the tapes 6, 7 and 8 will occur in unison. This wlll allow additional events to be moved into the display moc]e on the upper surface of the monitor 100, and passed events, to be moved off from the display.
The relative lateral disposition with the housing of the axles 1, 2, 3 and 4 is such that the continuous loop tapes 6, 7 and 8 are in constant tension, thus, rotation of the knob 11 will cause relative lateral transport of the tapes while, on the other hand, rotation only of one of the reels 10 will cause transport of that event t:ape 7 uniquely associatecl with that reel 10.
: A small device or special latch 15, as a transvere axis, permits the isolation of gear L2 and hence of axle 3 from axle 4. In that respect, therefore, when the special latch 15 is engaged and the knob 11 is rotated, the axle 4 will rotate but not axle 3. This causes the event tapes 7 t.o transport relative the original program t:ape 6.
Interspaced, within the looped program tap~ 6 as a sheet member and disposed between the smaller axles 2 and 3 in a plane that is coincident to the longitudinal axis of rotation of the axles 2 and 3 is a display panel 17. Upon this panel 17 may be mounted a copy of the master program for permanent record or reference.

In, for example, the management of a number of programs within a master project, the various activities of each program may or may not take place according to the master schedule of events contemplated for that project.

The invention will now be described by way of example and reference to the drawings but only as it relates to a preferred embodiment of the invention represented thereby.

As a review of the foreyoing of this specification and the drawings will indicate, the attached Figures show a display panel 100 with a marginally disposed display region 5 upon which may be affixed thereon, for example, adhesively, indicia which depict a list that is vertically arranged of activities (not shown in detail) of a project~ Laterally adjacent to this upper display region 5, and in registry with each entry on the list of activities of the region 5, there extends laterally across the upper surface of the panel a plurality of vertically disposed longitudinal movable members preferably as endless tapes 7.

example, adjacent to the last tape 7' is a movable sheet 6 UpOIl which is depicted an original program of events.
Further, adjacent to this original program sheet 6, and running along the bottom of the display panel 100 is on endless calendar tape ~3, also horizontally movable, as will become apparent. Thus, the calendar tape 8, may be movable relative to the program tape 6 and each of the event tapes 7;
similarly, each of the event tapes 7 is relatively movable to each other, to the program tape 6 and also relative to the calendar tape 8.
The relative movement of the plurality of event tapes 7, program tape 6, and calendar tape 8, is performed by a composite transport mechanism that includes four axles, 1, 2, 3 and 4; axles 1 and 4 of larger diameter than axles 2 and 3, and with the aid of an endless loop structure to each of the tapes. The axles 2 and 3 are also relatively positioned within the housing 10 at opposite ends thereof but are of relatively smaller diameter to those of 1 and 2 and mounted respectively adjacent but inboard of the axles 1 and ~, as clearly shown.
Generally, each of the tapes 7 is continuous and, as -clearly seen in Figure 3, forms a loop, to circumscribe in frictional engagement around the larger outside axles 1 and 4. The program tape 6, is also a continuous loop but it is relatively looped in frictional engagement around axles 2 and 3. The calendar tape 8 is disposed laterally away from the event tapes 7 and, is a continuous loop, looping around the larger axle 1, on the one hand, and the smaller axle 3, on the other, all as clearly seen in F`igure 6.
The axles, 1, 2, 3 and 4, may, conveniently terminate at bearings 9 as shown in Figure 4 and 5.
It is now convenient to more specifically describe each of the axles.
Axle 1 has surmounted thereon a plurality of adjacently positioned (only two are shown) stepped reels 10, which are press fitted over the axle 1 so that there is substantial frictional engagement between each of the reels 10 and circumference of axle 1, ~ reby to constrain each of the ~ ' reels 10 relative angular position, and to the axle 1 ancl in lateral position as well. Thus, when the axle 1 is rotated, as will become apparent, each of the reels 10 will correspondingly rotate. It is on each of the stepped reel 10, for instance, on the ~lange 10' thereof, that a single event tape 7 is frictionally passed as an endless loop (now shown as such in Figure 4) and the continuous event tape extends to loop over the opposite larger axle 4. Along the other large axle 4 are a plurality of grooves 18, as shown in F`igure 5, and these grooves each accommodate one of the looped event tapes 7. The cooperation, therefore, between the adjacent reels 10 on axle 1 and the fixed location of the grooves 18 located in axle 4 holds each of the parallelly positioned event tapes in relative parallel alignment and in registry with a vertical segment of the display region 5.
Since each of the reels 10 is frictionally bound to an axle, by relatively rotating one of the reels 10 relative to the axle 1 so that the relative pOSitiOIl of its member event tape 7 will be change relative to all other event tapes. This will also change the position of these event tapes relative to the program project tape 6. Ereedom to change relative relationships, therefore, of the mandatory intervening events (steps) - commonly known as "PERT CHART STEPS", is thus achieved.
Referring to the section Figure 5, the axle 4 has a projection which extends beyond the wall 13' of the housing so as to terminate at an exterior control knob 11. ~ithin the housing wall 13' is a recess which is in alignment with the -~ axle 4 and accommodates a gear 13 that is coincident with the exterior control knob 11 and axle 4. The adjacent sma~ler axle 3 likewise terminates at a gear 12 as shown. An idler wheel 14 meshes with both gears 12 and 13. Hence, when the knob 11 is rotated both axles 3 and 4 will rotate synchronously in the common direction. It is essential, however, that the number of gear teeth for gears 13 ancl 12 be relatively porportional to the respective diameters of the axles 4 and 3 so that on rotation of the exterior control knob 11 the degree of rotation imparted to both axles 3 and 4 is ' i ' ~, .' ' - .
~43~S3 the same; thus the transport of the tapes 6, 7 and 8 will occur in unison. This wlll allow additional events to be moved into the display moc]e on the upper surface of the monitor 100, and passed events, to be moved off from the display.
The relative lateral disposition with the housing of the axles 1, 2, 3 and 4 is such that the continuous loop tapes 6, 7 and 8 are in constant tension, thus, rotation of the knob 11 will cause relative lateral transport of the tapes while, on the other hand, rotation only of one of the reels 10 will cause transport of that event t:ape 7 uniquely associatecl with that reel 10.
: A small device or special latch 15, as a transvere axis, permits the isolation of gear L2 and hence of axle 3 from axle 4. In that respect, therefore, when the special latch 15 is engaged and the knob 11 is rotated, the axle 4 will rotate but not axle 3. This causes the event tapes 7 t.o transport relative the original program t:ape 6.
Interspaced, within the looped program tap~ 6 as a sheet member and disposed between the smaller axles 2 and 3 in a plane that is coincident to the longitudinal axis of rotation of the axles 2 and 3 is a display panel 17. Upon this panel 17 may be mounted a copy of the master program for permanent record or reference.
