Tide calender disk and method

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is directed to an improved tide disk apparatus for use in determining the time of condition of tide at a selected time, at one or more selected locations and at a selected date during a selected year, and to a method of calculating the time of said condition with reference to a conventional clock face for a plurality of months employing the present invention.
In particular the present invention comprises a disk apparatus in combination with a calibration clip apparatus to be calibrated to be in registration with and in reference to a conventional clock face, which is useful in calculating the time of a condition of tide for a plurality of months, typically twelve months, and can also be calibrated to forecast the time of a condition of tide for a plurality of different geographical locations.
In the preferred embodiment the present invention comprises an improved tide disk in combination with a calibration clip apparatus for affixation to a disk configured for displaying calendar dates in a spaced apart circular arrangement.
The tide disk is of circular construction characterized by a front display surface of generally flat construction consisting of a thin sheet mounted on the face of the disk for providing a display for a circular arrangement of radially-spaced spiral columns of calendar numerals.
The tide disk also includes a back display surface for affixing instructions for use of the Calendar numerals, typically Arabic numerals, are arranged on a series of concentric circles having a center at the central axis of the disk, and includes all the days in each of the 12 months of the year arranged by month.
The arrangement of the sequence of calendar numerals numbers typically proceeds from the inside to the outside of the disk, or alternatively may be arranged to proceed from the outer periphery to the central axis according to the wishes of the user.
Angular spacing is provided for determining the separation of the positioning of each calendar date for arrangement in the spiral columns extending radially outward from the central axis
