ZEBOIM CARTIER PATTEN, OF CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE.
ALMANAC OR CALENDAR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 431,281, dated July 1, 1890.
Application filed April 22, 1890. Serial No. 348,958. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ZEBOIM CARTTER PAT- TEN, of Chattanooga, in the county of Hamilton and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Almanacs or Calendars, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to almanacs and weekly, monthly, or yearly calendars to be used in either book form or on independent pieces of card-board, paper, or other material.
My invention consists in a combination or arrangement, with a calendar or almanac, of acode of symbols indicating the phases of the weather or changes in temperature and Weather that may be expected on any day or days in any week, month, or year, and of a series of qualifying symbols to be placed in varied relation with the mainsymbols, the Whole to be arranged on either side, center, or top or bottom of any or each page or sheet of the calendar or almanac and in identifying position with the time or date registering portions of the calendar or almanac to which said symbols are designed to apply, substantially as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, which represents a face view of a calendar or almanac sheet or page for a single .1nonth, filled up in part with the usual data of days and dates and other general information, and having the code of symbols indicating changes of weather and temperature in juxta or identifying position with the registering portions ofthe days and dates of the calendar or almanac.
Although the invention is notrestricted to any precise character or form of Weather symbols, I adopt in a general way the code of signal-service signs or symbols in general use.
A indicates the sheet or page of a calender or almanac,- taking in a full month, h and c being the columns which compose the register of the days of each week and of the dates of the month such days come upon. The main body of the page or sheet may contain sundry information, such as the times of the rising and setting of the sun for different dates,
when the moon sets and its quarterly changes, the heights of the tide for certain localities, and so forth.
On some convenient portion of the page or sheet is a space d, having a forecast of the Weather throughout the period of time the page or sheet covers, and which it Will be well to consult in connection with the weather symbols, as the same will be found to more fully indicate the kind of weather that may be expected.
Arranged in j uxta or proper identifying position With the column or columns of days and dates b c is a space e, having the code of Weather symbols upon it, with the different symbols arranged Aopposite the particular days and dates said symbols are used to indicate the weather for, or such as is likely to occur. In the symbols as shown, or rather the main symbols, the White-Hag symbols f 7o v indicate clear or fair weather, no rain, at or about the periods opposite which said symbols are placed; the blue-flag symbols g indicate rain or snow at the periods they refer to; the black triangular symbols h indicate a change of temperature at the periods opposite which they are placed, and the cold-Wavelag symbole' denotes a sudden change and much colder weather at the period it refers to. Besides these main sym bols are other qualifying symbols consisting of stars lo and Maltese crosses's. When vthese are used, a Maltese-cross symbolen the left of a blueflag symbol g indicates snow; a star to the right of said main symbol g indicates that rain may be expected on the particular day in the calendar opposite which such symbol is placed; a star to the right of a main triangular symbol 7L denotes warmer weather; a Maltese cross to the left of said main symbol h denotes colder Weather; a star to the right of the cold-Wave signal 7.' would indicate rain,
. and a Maltese cross to the left of said main symbol c' would denote sleet or snow at or about the time the symbol refers to.. Of course the symbolsherein shown and described are arbitrary, and may be changed as desired, so long as they will have like significanoe.
Having thus described my invention, I
IOO
claim as ne7 and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The combination, with a calendar or almanac, of a series of symbols indicative of predicated changes in the Weather, the same being arranged in juxtaposition or opposite the dates in the calendar they respectively refer to, substantially as speciiied.
2. The combination, with a calendar or almanac, of a series of main symbols indicative of predicated changes in the Weather, the same being arranged in juxtaposition or opposite the dates in the calendar they respectively refer to, and a minor or secondary series of qualifying symbols arranged in juxtaposition I 5 to the main symbols, essentially as herein set forth.
ZEBGIM CARTTER PATTEN.
