Mechanical astrological calculating device
| Details |
Inventors: Bailey, Joan F.; Richards, Linnea C.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Hix; L. T.
Assistant Examiner: Fuller; Benjamin R.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Beecher; Keith D.
A mechanical calculating device is provided which is particularly useful in determining the relationship of the heavenly bodies to specific heavenly positions at different times. The device, in the embodiment to be designed, comprises a base, a first disc rotatably mounted on the base, which has inscribed about its periphery a ring scale divided into twelve sectors each marked with a different Zodiacal sign, and each sector is subdivided into thirty indices each representing one degree of arc. A plurality of transparent discs are rotatably mounted on the base in concentric relationship with one another and with the first disc, the latter discs representing the sun, the moon and the various planets. The latter discs are each provided with an identifying tab, and each is inscribed with a series of lines extending outwardly from a common point adjacent to the tab at selected angles to one another, with each line having a selected color. In operating the device, the various discs are rotated to specific angular positions, as indicated by the tabs and which are established by the astrological calendar known as the Ephemerus which charts the positions of the planets at particular times and dates. In this manner, the transiting planets may be seen in relation to one another. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENT In each of the embodiments of FIGS.
1 and 2, a first disc which has a greater diameter than the other discs is rotatably mounted on a base 8 to constitute an outer wheel 10.
The outer wheel 10 has the twelve Zodiacal signs inscribed about its periphery, with each sign containing 30 degrees of celestial arc.
The periphery of the outer wheel is also calibrated to represent 0.
degree.
-360.
degree.
of celestial arc.
The embodiment of FIG.
1 includes, for example, three additional discs 12, 14, 16 which are rotatably mounted to be concentric with one another and concentric with the outer wheel, and to be individually rotatable about the common axis.
The three additional discs is equipped with respective tabs 12A, 14A, 16A bearing identifying symbols.
The three discs 12, 14, 16 represent, for example, the sun, the moon, and Venus.
Each of the discs is inscribed with differently colored lines, as shown in FIG.
3.
The embodiment of FIG.
2, for example, has ten discs 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 representing respectively the sun, the moon, and the eight planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranius, Neptune and Pluto.
These discs, likewise, are rotatable about the common axis on a base 32.
The discs 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 are formed of appropriate transparent material such as vinyl plastic, so that all the differently colored lines may be observed for the various angular positions to which the discs are set.
The base 8 in the embodiment of FIG.
1 may be formed, for example, of a transluscent "milk-glass" plastic to facilitate the reading of the device.
The base 8 of the embodiment of FIG.
1 also has the planets and corresponding symbols, as well as the signs of the Zodiac inscribed thereon, as well as a calendar.
The base 32 of the embodiment of FIG.
2 also has the Ephemerus calendar printed thereon, since reference to the Ephemerus calendar is necessary when the device is operated.
