Abstract

The device is designed to simulate a sun dial, so as to produce an approximate hour reading when there is no sun, it is in the shape of a decorative device, for inside or outside use. It uses a pointer driven by a mechanism and which slides along an axis until it meets a stop at each end. The axis can turn in clockwise or anti-clockwise directions. The system uses the effect of weight other means can be used to drive the system, such as mechanical or magnetic. .

Description

Les cadrans solaires sont connus.Sundials are known.

La présente invention à pour but la simulation de cadrans solaires, de façon à obtenir une lecture approximative de l'heure sans le soleil, sous la forme d'un objet décoratif, à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur des habitations, sans distinction de formes ou de dimensions.The present invention aims to simulate sundials, so as to obtain an approximate reading of the time without the sun, in the form of a decorative object, inside or outside of homes, without distinction of shapes or dimensions.

A cet effet la reproduction est équipée de son style, animé par un mécanisme et coulissant sur un axe, par l'effet de la pesenteur, ou par un autre système, mécanique, magnétique etc. Et arrété par une butée à chacune de ses extrémités. Fig 1
La lecture de l'heure se faitcomme sur un cadran solaire par l'ombre portée ou directement à l'aide du style.For this purpose the reproduction is equipped with its style, animated by a mechanism and sliding on an axis, by the effect of gravity, or by another system, mechanical, magnetic etc. And stopped by a stop at each of its ends. Fig 1
Reading the time is done as on a sundial by the drop shadow or directly using the style.

Le mécanisme d'entraînement de l'axe tourne de préférence en sens contraire des aiguilies d'une montre et fait une révolution en 24 heures.The axis drive mechanism preferably rotates counterclockwise and makes one revolution in 24 hours.

Cette durée et le sens indiqués n'étant qu'indicatif. This duration and the direction indicated are only indicative.
