Improvements relating to Calendars.
Year: 1895

page_text: I, JAMES TREADAWAY HOARE, of 208 Goswell Road, and 393 Holloway Road,
both in the County of London, Surgeon Dentist, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
:—
My invention, which has for its object to produce a perpetual calendar of the
monthly tabular type, consists essentially of a tablet of metal, (which may be
enamelled, nickelled or otherwise decorated) celluloid, vulcanite, cardboard, paper,
leather or other substance having imprinted on it in column form the consecutive
dates of the mouth and suitably disposed in proximity thereto a sliding bar,
ribbon or the like on which is indicated twice in their proper order the days of
the week.
By manipulating the said bar or its equivalent the tablet will be made to
correctly indicate the days on which the dates of any month fall.
It will be obvious that the dates on the tablet may be arranged either in vertical
or horizontal columns, the sliding bar or its equivalent being correspondingly
arranged.
In order to adapt the tablet for the various months I may provide a sliding bar
to cover the dates not required. Other sliding bars may in some cases be provided
for covering the expired dates.
My invention is applicable for attachment to books and the like and to other
uses where tabular calendars may be employed. It is especially adapted for
attachment to pocket books by reason of its even surfaces and may be easily
attached and removed, the tablet being provided for that purpose with apertures
through which studs pass, their points being clinched on the inside of the book
cover, or case.
In the manufacture of my invention I may conveniently form holders for the
said sliding bars by stamping the tablet with parallel cuts at desired points and
pressing out the intervening strip of metal sufficiently to slip the bar thereunder.
Dated this 18th day of February 1895.

Improvements relating to Calendars.
I, JAMES TREADAWAY HOARE, of 208 Goswell Road, and 393 Holloway Road,
both in the County of London, Surgeon Dentist, 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:-
My invention, which is illustrated in the annexed drawing, has for its object
the manufacture, in a simplified, useful, and more easily applicable form, of a
perpetual calendar of the monthly tabular type. It consists essentially of a

page_text: tablet A of metal (which may be enamelled, nickelled or otherwise decorated)
celluloid, vulcanite, or other rigid substance having imprinted on it in column
form the consecutive dates of the month, provided with means for attachment to
articles such as those hereinafter enumerated, and having suitably disposed in
proximity to the said dates a sliding bar, ribbon or the like B on which is
indicated twice in their proper order the days of the week.
My invention is applicable for attachment to the outside of books and the like,
and to other uses where tabular calendars may be employed. It is especially
adapted for attachment to pocket books by reason of its flat form and even
surfaces. For the purpose of easy attachment or removal the tablet A may be
provided with a suitable number of apertures a through which, and the cover or
top of the article, studs, rivets, paper-fasteners or the like may be passed, their
ends being turned or clinched on the inside of the book, cover or case.
According to my said invention I may conveniently form holders for the sliding
bar Bor other bars employed by stamping the tablet A with parallel cuts al at
desired points and pressing out the intervening strip of metal or other substance a²
sufficiently to slip the bar B thereunder as clearly shown in the drawing.
By sliding the bar B or its equivalent relatively to the dates on the said
tablet A the apparatus will correctly indicate the days on which the dates of any
month fall.
It will be obvious that, instead of being arranged in vertical column as herein-
before described and shown in the drawing, the dates might be arranged in
horizontal or diagonal columns, or otherwise, the sliding bar or its equivalent
being correspondingly arranged. In order to adapt the tablet to the various
months I may provide an extra sliding bar such as described to cover the dates not
required and other similar bars might in some cases be employed to cover the
expired dates.
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 -
1. In a perpetual calendar, the combination of a sliding bar or its equivalent,
and a tablet provided with means for attachment to a book, cover, case, or the
like substantially as set forth.
2. In a perpetual calendar, the combination, with a sliding bar or its equivalent,
of a tablet provided with one or more pressed-out portions a² serving as a holder
for the said sliding bar substantially as set forth.
3. The perpetual calendar constructed substantially as described and illustrated
in the annexed drawing.
