Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (a) Field of industrial application The invention relates to a heading table that allows one to easily find out which of the zodiac signs a given date in the past or future falls under.

(b) Conventional technology Traditionally, when you want to know which of the zodiac signs a given day in the past or future falls on for religious, fortune-telling, or other reasons, you have to check the calendar for each year in which the zodiac signs are displayed. I got it and looked for the corresponding date displayed on it.

(c) Problems that the invention aims to solve However, it has generally been difficult to obtain the desired history showing the twelve signs of the zodiac for the relevant day each time.

This idea was devised in view of the problems mentioned above.
The purpose is to provide a table of headings designed to make it easy to know the zodiac signs of any given day in the past and future.

(d) Means for solving the problems Explaining the present invention with reference to the drawings, the heading table of the present invention consists of two tables, Table 1 and Table 2.

First, as shown in Figure 1, the first table is divided into 16 radial sections, and each section has a column for the number of years, which is displayed clockwise in order. The reason for dividing the years into 16 sections and displaying the years in order is that the 12 zodiac signs follow a 16-year cycle: Horse, Pig, Dragon, Rooster,
Rabbit, Monkey, Ox, Horse, Rat, Snake, Rat, Rooster, Tiger, Sheep,
The reason for using March 1 as the basis is that in the current Gregorian calendar, there is a leap year every four years, and the number of days in February changes from 28 days in a normal year to 29 days in a leap year, but in a normal year, the number of days in February changes.
Regardless of leap years, the number of days in each month from March 1 to February 1 of the following year does not change at all in any year and is always the same.
Using the zodiac signs of the day as a basis, if you write the corresponding zodiac signs in the headings of each of the 16 sections, you will get the above "Horse,
Pig, Dragon, Rooster, Rabbit, Monkey, Ox, Horse, Rat, Snake, Rat, Rabbit,
The cycle goes in the order of Rooster, Tiger, Sheep, and Rat.

As can be understood from the above, Table 1 displays the number of years and the zodiac signs in a 16-year cycle based on the 12 zodiac signs on March 1st, so Table 1 displays the radial pattern as shown in Figure 1. In addition to the structure of 16 sections, as shown in Figure 5, 16 columns are formed in parallel vertically or horizontally, and some of them are designated as heading column 2 with "No.
Pig, Dragon, Rooster, Rabbit, Monkey, Ox, Horse, Child, Snake, Dragon, Rabbit,
It may be configured such that "rooster, tiger, virgin, and child" are displayed in sequence, and the corresponding number of years is written in the number of years column 1 in a 16-year cycle.

Next, for the second table, a date rotation table 4 and a month rotation table 5 are arranged concentrically on a mount 3 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. The daily rotation table 4 is divided into 12 radial sections, and in each section, the number of days in a month, ie, "1st to 31st", is displayed sequentially clockwise in a 12-day cycle. Also, monthly rotation table 5
Similarly, it is divided into 12 radial sections and each section is marked with "March, May".
Month: February, July, (one section blank), September, November of the following year
January, April, June, August, October, December of the following year
are displayed sequentially clockwise. Then, on the mount 3 on the outer periphery of the month rotation table 5, there are 12 radial divisions: ``Child, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Wei, Monkey''.
"Rooster, Dragon, Pig" are displayed in order in the clockwise direction.

The reason for displaying the months in the above order on the month rotation table 5 is that if any of the zodiac signs displayed on the mount 3 is the corresponding zodiac sign for March 1st, the months are displayed in the above order in the clockwise order.
7th item between April 1st and May 1st, 6th item between May 1st and June 1st, 7th item between June 1st and July 1st. The sixth period is between July 1st and August 1st.
The 7th time is between days, the 7th time is between August 1st and September 1st, the 6th time is between September 1st and October 1st, and the 6th time is between October 1st and November 1st. The 7th is between November 1st and December 1st, the 7th is between December 1st and January 1st of the following year, and the 7th is between January 1st of the following year and February 1st of the following year. Since the space between the 7th and 7th zodiac signs corresponds to one of the zodiac signs, the number of months is arranged clockwise from March to satisfy this condition.

(e) Function The following explains how to use the header table of the present invention, which consists of Tables 1 and 2 above, using an arbitrary date as an example.

Example 1: How to find the zodiac signs on April 29, 1901.

First, in Table 1, if we look for ``Meiji 34 (1901)'' in the year column 1, we can see from the heading column 2 that March 1st of this year is ``Tora.'' Next, in the second table, as shown in FIG. Align "1st" in the day-to-day rotation table 4 with the "April" position. Under such conditions, the zodiac signs displayed on the mount 3 located on the outer periphery of "29th" in the day number rotation table 4 are the desired zodiac signs. This shows that the zodiac sign for April 29, 1901 is the ox.

Example 2: How to find the zodiac signs on August 15, 1945.

According to Table 1, the standard for 1945 is 3.
It turns out that the zodiac sign for the first day of the month is the Snake. Next, as shown in Figure 3, match "March" in Month Number Rotation Table 5 to the position of "Snake" in Table 2, and
Align the ``1st'' of the date rotation table 4 with the ``month'' position. If we look at the zodiac on the mount 3 at the ``15th'' position of the daily rotation table 4, we can see that it is the ``dragon.''

Example 3: How to find the zodiac signs on February 11, 2000.

The header table of this invention is based on March 1st of each year, and "January" and "February" are for the following year, so the desired arbitrary date is "January".
Or, if it is "February", both the past and the future must be based on the zodiac signs of March 1st of the previous year.

Therefore, in this example, the zodiac sign on March 1st of ``1999'', the year before ``2000'', is found as ``Child'' using Table 1. Next, as shown in Figure 4, match "March" in Month Rotation Table 5 to the "Child" position in Table 2, and match "May (February of the following year)" to "1" in Date Rotation Table 4. Match the date. And daily rotation table 4
If you look at the zodiac signs around the 11th day, you will see that it is the Pig.

(f) Effects of the invention Since the invention is as explained above, the zodiac signs of any given day in the past or future can be easily, quickly, and accurately determined, making it extremely convenient.
