Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a simple and easy perpetual calendar display by combining a square prism body displaying a date number, a day of the week, and a month number on each surface of a regular square prism having a fixed length.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, various technologies provided as perpetual calendars can be seen as follows. First, the one shown in the Japanese Utility Model Application Showa No. 53-131762 is the one with the date part and the month display part with the date shifted one step at a time on the front and back of the frame plate. By mounting a plastic plate on the surface of the fixed item and rotating and changing the combination of the date portions sequentially, even if the day starts from any day, each day is displayed constantly. The type shown in the Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Hei 5-52870 is a type in which 49 single pieces indicating the date, month, etc. are placed in a frame and connected with a skewer from the side to fix the display. Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Hei 7-23363 shows a type in which the date is displayed on the front and back of three plastic pieces, and the plastic piece is fitted in a frame having a fixed day of the week. Further, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 60-11493 provides a digital clock body with a plate indicating the date and the day of the week attached thereto, and a technology such as a perpetual calendar for displaying the display in conjunction with the clock using a liquid crystal.

[0003]

[Issues to be solved by the invention]

 Thus, various types of perpetual calendars have been seen, and although they have some functions, they are inconvenient in practice because of the following disadvantages. What is seen in Japanese Utility Model Application Showa No. 53-131762 is that a month with a small date needs an extra small piece to cover the 31st day and a February to cover the 29th to 31st day. It has to be equipped with magnets, iron shafts, etc., and it has many components and is complicated. In addition, when changing the display, the date, day of the week, and month must be opened by opening the back cover with a key, which is very troublesome.At that time, if the month display is tilted, small pieces may move and they may be adjusted. It is a spider. Therefore, it is an inconvenient calendar that cannot be used smoothly and easily because it is very troublesome especially for children.

In the type of Japanese Utility Model No. Hei 5-2870, the displayed 49 pieces are skewered and fixed, so that when changing the display, the skewer must be pulled out and the pieces removed. It is cumbersome because it has to be rearranged, and since it is a method of combining a large number of single pieces, there is a drawback that even if one piece is lost, it is useless. It is troublesome. Furthermore, since Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Hei 7-23363 is a type in which 35 small plastic pieces are fitted, it may be troublesome at the time of reassembly or may be lost as in the above-mentioned type. The structure shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 60-11493 has a complicated structure and a high cost because it employs a mechanism linked to a digital clock. These are inconvenient because they have many drawbacks, such as complexity, large number of components, and difficulty in handling, and are not simple and easy to handle.
