Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The current mainstream calendars are those that can be used for one to two years, but all of them are reasonably convenient for short-term use. In some cases, calendars are valid for more than a few years, but they lack practicality or are simply a collection of several years' worth of regular one-year calendars, leaving them unsatisfactory in terms of convenience. feel.

Particularly in the latter case, the disadvantage is that it becomes thicker when folded, making it unsuitable for carrying as a commuter pass.

Therefore, by adopting the day-of-the-week quick reference method of Patent Application No. 086650 of 1986 into a regular calendar that can be used for two years, and adding a holiday table that can be used until 2000, we have made full use of the small space available. , I came up with the idea of creating a new type of subscription calendar that is both practical and future-oriented and can be used conveniently over a long period of time.

Here, I will briefly explain the term "regular calendar". In other words, by arranging "Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday" on the top row, and placing the months and days corresponding to the days of the week below, you can view the dates throughout the year or in each month. Refers to a calendar that is created so that you can see the days of the week.

When we talk to people we are close to, the topic sometimes extends beyond the past five years or so. At times like these, I have had the experience of having a lively conversation, but feeling frustrated because I couldn't remember what day of the week it was that day. It's a light topic, and as long as it's not that important, there's no problem even if you don't know the days of the week or have no way to look them up.

However, it cannot be said that there are times when something extremely important is involved and it is necessary to investigate immediately.

Furthermore, in these days of the computer age, earth age, and space age, it is often necessary to know the days of the week not only five years from now, but ten years from now, or even up to the end of the 20th century (2000 AD). In fact, we are in a situation where we can even predict that it will increase.

This regular calendar has been created to match these times and allow you to easily check past and future days of the week, so it can be very convenient if you always carry it with you and refer to it when needed. Will. What's more, we make and execute plans without any deviation based on an accurate calendar.
If you always act in a way that anticipates the future, you will be able to outperform others and pave the way to success, not only in your daily life, but also in business and business. In addition, it can be used in conjunction with a highly informative holiday table that can look beyond the year 2000, so it can be said that it has a great complementary effect in achieving the purpose.

As mentioned above, this regular calendar not only satisfies a wide range of needs, but also is easy to use, easy to read, and convenient.It also uses a completely new system that allows you to see the future in more detail. , it has unique characteristics that can be accurately predicted, so it is highly effective when used for advertising and sales promotion. There are many ways to use it, but for example, if salespeople from various industries were to hand it out to customers or prospective customers during their visits, it would not only make them happy, but it would also be a useful tool that they would use forever. Of course, it is necessary to distribute a new regular calendar every year or every other year, but distributing a new edition is convenient for advertising and promoting new products. There are many benefits for companies, such as being useful for salespeople to smoothly connect with familiar customers, and improving service in a broader sense. It is only natural that simpler and more convenient subscription calendars are more likely to be accepted.If anyone receives a number of subscription calendars, they will choose the one that is the most convenient. It is no exaggeration to say that we choose what we can and use it, and the rest are destined to be thrown away. That point,
Since this regular calendar has many excellent features, there is a strong possibility that it will be used in place of regular or other companies' products that have less merit. Looking at it from the other side, the probability that the calendar will be replaced or thrown away with another company's subscription calendar that will be distributed later is extremely low.

If this recurring calendar, which has many benefits for both companies and individuals, is widely and deeply disseminated among the general public and potential customers, it will help achieve the advertising objectives and ultimately increase product sales. It is not impossible to connect them.

Next, we will provide a detailed explanation of the features and improvements of this regular calendar in relation to the drawings.

This calendar includes the classification table in Figure 1, the cycle table in Figure 2, the holiday table in Figure 3, the regular calendar (this year's calendar) in Figure 4, and the regular calendar (next year's calendar) in Figure 5. ), but the discrimination table in Figure 1 is
Similar to the day-of-the-week quick reference table described in Utility Model Registration Application No. 062244 of 2015, alphabetical letters are used instead of numbers for the symbols in the squares, making the table easier to read. There is. The month (January to December) is shown at the top of the horizontal axis, and the day (1st to 31st) is shown at the left end of the vertical axis.
Alphabet letters are displayed in the squares where the horizontal axis (month) and vertical axis (day) intersect, which serve as indication symbols when referring to the cycle table described later.

The cycle table in Figure 2 also shows utility model registration application No. 06 of 1982, which was further improved based on the method of the original patent application.
The format of No. 2244 is adopted. In other words, a column for the day of the week pattern is provided at the top of the horizontal axis, and the alphabet letters "A, B" are displayed.
, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N,
O'' are placed in order from left to right, and the year (1981-2000) is placed on the left end of the vertical axis, and the characters in the square where the alphabet letters on the horizontal axis intersect with the year on the vertical axis are to be read. It has been created in an easy-to-use table that shows the days of the week. In addition, write instructions for use in the blank spaces provided at the bottom of the cycle table.

The holiday table in Figure 3 is from Utility Model Registration Application No. 062 of 1982.
This is an improved version of the holiday/substitute holiday table in No. 244 for regular entry, but due to space constraints, substitute holidays are not indicated with marks, but instead are pointed out in the notes column. In addition to the year of the Western calendar, the year name and Eto (the zodiac signs) are also written, so it can be used conveniently by people of all ages and genders.

Combined with Figures 4 and 5, the design of the regular calendar that can be used for two years is partially quoted from the calendar of Design Registration No. 543885, but the overall design balance of this regular calendar is correct. Similar tables are used to maintain

The regular calendar used for this year and the next year can be used continuously for two years, so even if it is used at a turning point between this year and the next year, it has the advantage of being able to see what will happen until the end of the next year.

Therefore, it is much more convenient than just a calendar that can only be used for one year. In addition, in the blank space at the bottom of both calendars, you can write company names and product keywords for advertising and sales promotion purposes. Furthermore, by omitting the next year's calendar, a considerable amount of blank space is freed up, which can be fully used for advertising or product explanations. Of course, this will impair the functionality of the calendar to some extent, but in any case, companies should choose the method that best suits their needs. In addition, if each drawing is reduced to one-fourth of its current size, it will fit perfectly into a commuter pass, leaving some border margins.

Here, we will explain how to arrange each drawing in the most efficient way when referring to this regular calendar.

A commuter calendar has two folds and is stored in a commuter pass in the form of three sheets stacked on top of each other.The inside three pages have, from the left, a discrimination chart in Figure 1, a cycle chart in Figure 2, and a cycle table in Figure 2. Arrange the holidays in the order shown in Figure 3. Next, on the three outer sides, there is space on one side to write the title and company name from the left.
Next to it is the regular calendar (this year's calendar) shown in Figure 4 (hereinafter referred to as "this year's calendar"), and to the right of it is the regular calendar (next year's calendar) shown in Figure 5.
[Hereafter abbreviated as "Next Year's Calendar"] is arranged so that it appears.

In other words, the outer side corresponding to the ``title and company name'' and the inner ``holiday table'' become the front and back sides. If you arrange each drawing so that the ``cycle table'' is on the back of the ``this year's calendar'' on the outside, and the ``discrimination table'' is on the back of the ``next year's calendar,'' it can be used efficiently without waste. .

When folding, first fold "Next Year's Calendar" inward, stack it on top of it, and then fold the side corresponding to "Title and Company Name". The final folded state will be "Title and Company Name". and company name” side,
``This year's calendar'' is on the back. Therefore, I keep this year's calendar visible and put it in my commuter pass. When you have finished using this year's calendar, put next year's calendar on top of it so that you can see it and put it back into your commuter pass.

Finally, a specific method of using the present invention will be explained.

Generally, the standard calendar (calendar for this year and next year) is mainly used. In other words, for this year (1984) and the following year (1985), we will use a regular calendar that can be used for two consecutive years by combining Figures 4 and 5, which are easier to see and more practical, and will be used for the year 1985. Year ~ 1981 AD
If you want to check the days of the week in the past up to 2000 or the days of the week in the near future from 1986 to 2000, please use the first
Use the discrimination table shown in the figure and the cycle table shown in Figure 2. In addition, the holiday table shown in Figure 3 may be used as needed.

There is no need to explain how to use the regular calendar, so I will omit it, and will explain how to use the discrimination table, cycle table, and holiday table necessary to check the future and past days of the week.

For example, if you want to find out the day of the week on March 21, 1992 (Showa 67), first refer to the discrimination table in Figure 1. Since the month and day you can request is March 21, the month on the horizontal axis is (1
-12), select the number ``3'' from the day on the vertical axis (1 to 31), and select the number ``21'' from the day on the vertical axis (1 to 31), and select the alphanumeric characters in the square where ``3'' on the horizontal axis intersects ``21'' on the vertical axis. Misjudgment. Since the alphanumeric letter in the corresponding square is "N", next refer to the cycle table and select the rows with the same alphanumeric letter "N" that appear in the "Day of the week pattern" column from top to bottom. 1 AD of the year listed on the left
Read the day of the week in the square that intersects with the year 99. Since the word "Sat" appears in the text, we know that the day of the week on March 21, 1992 (Showa 67) is "Saturday."

In addition, if you follow the "N" line in the "Day of the week pattern" column from top to bottom, it is not limited to the year 1992. You can read the changes in the days of the week on March 21st at a glance. That is, the first year, 1981 AD (
It can be seen that the day of the week of March 21st (1980) is "Saturday" (Saturday), and the day of the week of March 21st of the last year, 2000 (Showa 75) is "Tuesday" (Tuesday). .

The day of the week in other years can be determined by reading the section corresponding to each year. Furthermore, referring to the holiday table in Figure 3, 1
Friday, March 20, 1992 falls on the Vernal Equinox Day (a public holiday), so companies with a two-day work week with Saturdays and Sundays off will be closed from Friday, March 20th to March 22nd, 1992. You can confirm in advance that Sunday will be a three-day holiday. The same thing can be seen not only for 1992 but also for each year up to 2000 AD. "Vernal Equinox Day" (holiday) is held on 20 days depending on the year.
However, this cycle has been repeated since 1992 on the 21st.
The trend changes every year. In addition, “Autumn Equinox Day” (holiday) is 2
Since you can see that the holiday is only for 3 days, you can accurately grasp the holiday situation and make detailed plans.

4. The day-of-the-week quick reference table of the additional related original patent application (Patent Application No. 086650 of 1986) consists of two sheets: a sorting table and a cycle table, and it is easy to find the days of the week of the same month and month over multiple years or many years. It uses an innovative method that allows quick access, and is designed to allow you to see the changes in the days of the week for each year at a glance.

The periodical calendar related to this additional patent application has been developed and improved based on the day-of-the-week quick reference system related to the original patent application, and has also been developed into a regular calendar that can be used for two consecutive years and a calendar that can be used continuously for two years.
By incorporating a holiday table that can be used up to 2000,
It has been devised to further enhance its functionality in terms of practicality and future orientation, and to be fully effective for advertising and sales promotion purposes.
