Application August 15, 1955, Serial No. 528,301 1 claim. (cl. s5z4) This invention relates to a power and time board which has removable segments so that the board is and may continuously be brought up to the minute and reveal at a glance all work currently being done in the plant, and machines and dates available for the immediate future.
Among the objects of my invention is to provide a scheduling board which will show at once what work is being done at the moment on all machines in the plant, and what times on which machines are available for work in the next several weeks or months.
Another object is to create a power and time board having indicia segments which may be moved, removed, or added to in order to keep the board up to the moment. In this connection my board does not contain past or completed data to confuse lthe user and take up a portion of the board. In this way my board is dynamic rather than static.
My board is quick and simple in operation, immediate and eective in use, beneficial in result, economical in construction, and lasting in wear.
My invention also has such other objects, advantages and capabilities as will later more fully appear and which are inherently possessed by my invention.
While I have shown in the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment of my invention, yet it is to be understood that the same is susceptible of modification and change without departing from fthe spirit of my invention.
Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 is a face View of my board with some segments; Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. l; Fig. 3 is a face view of my van'ed colored segments; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a segment being moved; and Fig. 5 is an elevational view of my board on an easel.
The embodiment selected to illustrate my invention comprises a Ibody member or base in which is formed, mounted or attached a plurality of spaced horizontal members 11 forming a plurality of horizontal channels 12 therebetween. A plurality of spaced longitudinal dividers 13 are slidably mounted on body member 10 and extend from the upper to the lower portion thereof. These dividers 13 set olf for purposes of illustration, longitudinal spaces 14, 1S, 16 and 17. Just beneath the top of body member 10 in channel 12 in longitudinal frame 1,4 is heading 18 on a machines or power segment 19 bearing the legend: machines, or power.
In channel 12 at the top of spaces 15, 16 and 17 are headings 2S for time, such as for illustration the months July, August and September on month segments 29. In the next lower channel 12 are day segments 39 bearing working days of the month.
In longitudinal frame 14 in channels 12 under the heading machines or power are placed use defining segments 49 of a distinctive color, shape or size, or bearing insignia designating the machine or power media and possibly its capacity, capability, size or the like.
.Patented Mam, 195o As ,work isl bookedfor a machine which .will consume certain dates, use" defining segments 49, are placed in the longitudinal areas 15,-'16 and 17 in the channel 12 immediately parallel to the machine and inline with the dates to-be used at the top sulih%?di1,1g-.l Each segment correspondslwith a working days ',s'p'ace. However, 4segments may represent any interval of time desired, such as an hour, week, 'month or other unit. Each segment is distinctive in color, shape, size or insignia to indicate the kind of material being used. For example for the following materials, the following colors are used: yellow segments for brass, red for steel, blue for aluminum and green for alloy steel. The current month is shown in area 15 and as this period expires, the working days sub-'heading is gradually removed and the other dates and dividers are moved from right to left. When necessary a new month is added with new sub-headings and a new divider so that the board is always up to the minute.
When work is scheduled for future delivery and there is space opposite a machine, this space is filled in by segments under the date scheduled. This may be done even if there is space between the current and future bookings. In this way future delivery and Working of machines may be seen at a glance on my board.
Each segment has an opening 20 to receive a wedge shaped point 21 of a pencil or the like for easy insertion or removal.
My board is preferably usable on an easel background, so that it is inclined about a 20 angle for easy inspection or alteration.
With my board, when a business inquiry is made, ,the user may see at a glance which machines are busy and when they will be available for use. Because the metals being used on the machines are shown, further work may be more easily planned. The same machines may be used for the same metals. This will save time because if other metals are used, the machine would have to be cleaned and prepared for the different metal. Therefore, my board not only tells at a glance what the machines are doing and when they will be free, but what metals are being used on them for scheduling future work on the same metals.
My board is particularly usable for a scheduling board, but may be used whenever power and time are involved.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
A scheduling board comprising a frame body member having a plurality of vertically spaced horizontal ribs providing therebetween a plurality of spaced horizontal channels, a plurality of slidable dividers longitudinally extending from the top to the bottom of said body member across said horizontal ribs and horizontal channels and providing longitudinal sections, a plurality of machine dening segments, each of said machine defining segments individually, removably and slidably positioned in the horizontal channels of said longitudinal section farthest to the left, a plurality of time defining segments, each of said time defining segments individually, removably and slidably mounted in the two topmost channels of the sections to the right of the farthest left section to indicate the current and future months with designated days and a plurality of use defining segments, each of said use defining segments individually, removably and slidably mounted in the channels below the two topmost channels in the sections to the right of the farthest left section, each of said segments indicating machines, time and use being separately, independently and directly insertable into said horizontal channels from the front thereof, supportable therein until removed and separately, independently and directly removable from the front thereof and adapted for insertion, removal and 2,884,713 3 f f I slidable within their vrespective sections and said slidable 2,043,760 dividers being slidable to the left as old use dening segv'2,234,249 ments are removed from the board to designa/re only 2,544,445 up tothe minute current and future work al1 of the seg- 2,548,657 mentsfbeirg visible at al1 times while on'the board. 2,563,512 i References Cited in .the file of this lavtnt ggg UNT-ED- STATES PATENTS 216421832 834,447' B01-gnam om. 3o, 1906 2,647,328 1,354,910 Ketchum Oct. 5, 1920 10 2,732,822 1,408,469 Rand Mar. 7, 1922 Marsh June 9, 1936 Hanford Mar. 11, 1941 Corzilius j Mar. 6, 1951 Dunn Apr. 10, 1951 Bock Aug. 7, 1951 Ginchard Dec. 23, 1952 Johnson Feb. 24, 1953 Broadtmann June 23, 1953 Ostrander Aug. 4, 1953 ACassvdy Ian. 31, 1956
