Claims (7)

1. Einrichtung zum leichten Ausrichten von Landkarten in Nord-Süd-Richtung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß auf der Karte (Fig. 1) ein Schatten gebender Gegenstand (4) angebracht wird, dessen Schatten (3) bei Sonnenlicht (2) auf eine in Art einer Sonnenuhr (1) gestaltete Zeitskala fällt, wobei die Karte in Umkehrung des Prinzips geographisch so ausgerichtet wird, daß die augenblickliche mit Hilfe einer Uhr ermittelte tatsächliche Uhrzeit angezeigt wird, sodaß dadurch die Karte in die gewünschte Nord-Süd-Richtung gelangt.1. Device for easy alignment of maps in the north-south direction, characterized in that on the map ( Fig. 1) a shadow object ( 4 ) is attached, the shadow ( 3 ) in sunlight ( 2 ) in a in Art a sundial ( 1 ) designed time scale falls, the map is oriented in reverse of the principle so that the current actual time determined with the help of a clock is displayed, so that the map moves in the desired north-south direction. 2. Einrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Schatten gebende Gegen­ stand ein einfacher Winkel aus geeignetem Material, beispielsweise aus Papier, hergestellt ist und in seiner Formgebung den optimalen Winkel des den geographischen Ort betreffenden Erhebungswinkel berücksichtigt; beispielsweise so, daß sich die Schattenkante etwa parallel zur Erdachse einstellt.2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the shadow giving counter stood a simple angle made of a suitable material, such as paper and in its shape the optimal angle of the geographic location Elevation angle taken into account; for example, so that the shadow edge is approximately parallel to the earth's axis. 3. Einrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Zeitskala (Fig. 2) auf der Karte die betreffende Ortszeit und als doppelte Skala auch die Umstellung von Sommer- zu Winterzeit berücksichtigt.3. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the time scale ( Fig. 2) on the map takes into account the local time in question and, as a double scale, the changeover from summer to winter time. 4. Einrichtung gemäß den Ansprüchen 1 bis 3 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Schatten gebende Gegenstand der Kartenart entsprechend faltbar, klappbar oder auch in mehrfacher Wiederholung gestaltet wird.4. Device according to claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the shadow Giving object of the card type foldable, foldable or in multiple Repetition is designed. 5. Einrichtung gemäß den Ansprüchen 1 bis 4 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Schatten gebende Gegenstand zusammen mit einer geeigneten Zeitskala auch als eigenständige Posi­ tionierungshilfe hergestellt wird.5.

Einrichtung gemäß den Ansprüchen 1 bis 5 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß auch Sonderfälle entsprechend dem Erfindungsgedanken gestaltet werden können, so zum Beispiel die Gestal­ tung der Zeitskala als Linie mit Zeitangabe als Schattenlänge für Karten im Äquatorbereich.6. Device according to claims 1 to 5, characterized in that also special cases can be designed according to the idea of the invention, for example the shape the time scale as a line with time as the shadow length for maps in the equator area. 7. Einrichtung gemäß Anspruch 4 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Schatten gebende Gegen­ stand bei der Kartenherstellung gleich als Teil des Kartenmaterials hergestellt wird, also z. B. als herausklappbarer Winkel gestanzt.7. Device according to claim 4, characterized in that the shadow giving counter stood during card production as part of the map material, i.e. z. B. punched out as a fold-out bracket.
