Abstract

The direction indicating instrument allows a user, wherever he or she is in the world, to find instantaneously and precisely the direction of a pre-determined location. It comprises an annular dial carrying marks denoting numerous countries or towns in the world and an identification needle pointing north. Positioning the north on the country or town in which the user is located automatically gives the direction of the predetermined location.

Description

II

L'invention a pour objet un instrument indicateur de direction permettant à un utilisateur se trouvant dans un lieu quelconque d'une zone donnée du globe terrestre de connaître, par rapport à ce lieu, la direction d'un point donné du globe.  The invention relates to a direction indicator instrument for a user located in any place in a given area of the earth to know, relative to this place, the direction of a given point of the globe.

Cet instrument sera particulièrement utile aux musulmans qui, comme on le sait, doivent dire des prières tournés vers La Mecque.  This instrument will be particularly useful to Muslims who, as we know, must say prayers turned towards Mecca.

Du fait que, de surcroît, ces prières doivent être prononcées à des moments déterminés, le présent instrument sera, de préférence, combiné avec une montre.  Because, moreover, these prayers must be pronounced at certain times, the present instrument will preferably be combined with a watch.

Le dessin représente à titre d'exemple, un instrument indicateur de direction combiné avec une montre, permettant aux musulmans de prononcer leurs prières aux heures désirées et tournés vers La Mecque.  The drawing represents as an example, a direction indicator instrument combined with a watch, allowing Muslims to say their prayers at the desired times and turned towards Mecca.

La figure 1 est une vue en plan de l'instrument.  Figure 1 is a plan view of the instrument.

L'instrument représenté comprend une montre-bracelet (1) munie d'un cadran annulaire fixe (2) présentant un tour d'heures et dont les aiguilles d'heures et de minutes sont respectivement désignée par (3) et (4). Une couronne (5) permet le remontage et la mise à l'heure ordinaire.  The instrument shown comprises a wristwatch (1) provided with a fixed annular dial (2) having a lap of hours and whose hour and minute hands are respectively designated (3) and (4). A crown (5) allows reassembly and setting the ordinary time.

Le cadran (2) porte de manière circulaire les noms de pays ou villes répartis dans le monde entier. Une couronne (6) fixe graduée de 0 à 400 et le signe Mecque (8) écrit en arabe directement dans l'axe du minaret (7) L'instrument décrit et représenté s'utilise de la façon suivante afin de permettre a son utilisateur de connaître la direction de La Mecque par rapport au lieu ou il se trouve.  The dial (2) carries circularly the names of countries or cities spread throughout the world. A fixed crown (6) graduated from 0 to 400 and the sign Mecca (8) written in Arabic directly in the axis of the minaret (7) The instrument described and represented is used in the following way to allow its user to know the direction of Mecca in relation to the place where it is.

L'utilisateur positionne le Nord de la boussole sur le nom du pays ou de la ville ou il se trouve et la flèche du minaret lui donne la position exacte de La Mecque.  The user positions the North of the compass on the name of the country or city where it is located and the arrow of the minaret gives it the exact position of Mecca.

Le nom de pays ou de la ville sera inscrit en anglais ou en arabe.  The country or city name will be written in English or Arabic.

Le centre de la boussole a un dessin représentant un minaret et le dessin du " Kaaba " (Pierre Noire).  The center of the compass has a drawing representing a minaret and the drawing of "Kaaba" (Black Stone).
