PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Perpetual Calendars.
ERNEST ARTHUR PEACH, Jeweller, "Lismore," Silver Birch Road, Erdington,
near Birmingham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The 1st or front disc
Two circular discs are placed one in front of the other.
being partly cut away in a manner shown on drawings Fig. 2 and has the 31 days
of the month indicated as shown in the drawing Fig. 2. The 2nd or back disc
is just slightly larger than the front one and lettered with the days of the week
arranged in the manner shown in Fig. 3 and has a hole pierced in the centre so
as to attach by means of same on to an axle fixed in the centre of the back of the
front disc and by this means the back disc is made to revolve thereby enabling the
days of the week shown on its surface to be set in their proper positions to corre-
spond with the dates on the front disc and so indicate the dates & days of the week
for a complete month and if same be set on the 1st of every month it forms
a perpetual calendar and I claim that nothing has hitherto been invented by
means of circular discs arranged in this manner.
It may be made in gold, silver or other metals or in ivory, bone vulcanite or
other materials.
.
I do not bind myself to one pattern scroll on top as it may have various kinds of
loops to form plain or fancy ornament on top.
It may also be used as a complete article in itself or form part of any other
article by being the calendar attachment to such article and in such cases it would
have no loop on top but be attached by other means suitable to each individual
article.
Fig. 1 shows the complete article when used as pendant.
ERNEST ARTHUR PEACH, Jeweller, "Lismore," Silver Birch Road, Erdington,
near Birmingham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
Two circular discs are placed one in front of the other. The 1st or front discs
being partly cut away in a manner shown on drawings (sent with Provisional

page_text: Specification) Fig. 2 & has the 31 days of the month indicated thereon. The
second or back disc is lettered with the days of the week arranged in the manner
shown in Fig. 3 and has a hole pierced in centre so as to attach by means of
same on to an axle fixed in the centre of the back of the front disc and
by this means the back disc is made to revolve thereby enabling the days of the
week shown on its surface to be set in their proper positions to correspond with
the dates on the front disc and so indicate the dates & days of the week for a
complete month & if same be set on the 1st of every month it forms a perpetual
calendar. Fig. 1 shows it when used as pendant. It may be made in gold silver
or other metals or in ivory, bone, vulcanite or other materials. I do not bind
myself to one pattern scroll on top as it may have various kinds of loops or scrolls
or may be made without scroll at all. It may also be used as a complete article in
itself or form part of any other article by being the calendar attachment to such
article and in such cases it would be attached by suitable means to each individual
article.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
-
The arranging of two circular discs one exactly behind the other and with slot
cut out of the front one to show through to the one behind with letters and figures
on the discs arranged as described.
