Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refractive viewer, particularly for currency conversion tables.
  • pocket or desktop viewers are widely used which allow to alternately view a first image and a second image which are arranged on a same backing element and above which a lens is arranged.
  • the movement of the backing element or its inclination allows to view one image or the other alternately, according to the user's requirements.
  • These devices are usually limited to having only a first image and a second image which are mutually superimposed and can be viewed alternately.
  • Calculators for performing conversions from one currency to the other are expected to be used to perform these conversions, which are initially indispensable to avoid disorienting consumers.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a refractive viewer, particularly for currency conversion tables, which allows to obviate the need to have a calculator available in order to perform said conversions.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a refractive viewer, particularly for currency conversion tables, in which two or more images are available on the backing element of the viewer.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a refractive viewer, particularly for currency conversion tables, which has an extremely limited cost.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a refractive viewer, particularly for currency conversion tables, which has reduced dimensions and a very limited thickness.
  • a refractive viewer particularly for currency conversion tables, characterized in that it comprises a backing element on which a plurality of images are printed, a lens being arranged above said supporting element, said plurality of images providing currency conversion tables.
  • the viewer according to the invention comprises a backing element 1 on which a plurality of images are meant to be printed; three of said images are shown by way of example in Figures 2-4.
  • Said images illustrate tables for converting currencies from fire to euro, with calculation of the equivalent value.
  • the images are printed so as to be mutually superimposed so that the lines of one image are alternated with the lines of the image that lies below it.
  • the only limit is set by the fineness of the printing that can be achieved.
  • a lens 3 which is meant to alternately reflect, by refraction, the images 2 printed on the backing element 1.
  • FIGs 2-4 and particularly Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the currency conversion tables from fire to euro; each table is divided into three sections, each of which is in turn divided into subsections.
  • the subsection 4a lists the equivalent value in fire from one hundredth of a euro to two euro, while the second subsection 4b lists the equivalent value in fire from 5 euro to 500 euro.
  • the intermediate section of Figure 2 illustrates, in the subsections 4c to 4f, the equivalent value in fire from 0.01 euro to 1 euro.
  • subsections 4g and 4h illustrate the values in euro that correspond to 50 Italian fire to 100,000 Italian fire.
  • Figure 3 which must accordingly be superimposed on Figure 2, has sections 4a-4h which correspond to the sections 4a-4h of Figure 2.
  • Figure 4 instead illustrates the table for conversion from euro to French francs, from French francs to euro and the calculation of the equivalent value in French francs with respect to the euro.
  • the alternation of the various figures or images printed on the backing element 1 allows to perform a quick conversion from one currency to the other according to requirements.
  • the conversion tables are of course not limited to the above-indicated currencies.
  • the viewer according to the invention can therefore be used as a portable calculator which is undoubtedly very inexpensive and simple to use.
  • the materials employed may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
