A clock with an area (12b) for a display item. The frame (11) is made of a flexible, durable transparent material, so that the display item may be changed with ease. The clock hands (15a) and (15b) are on the outside of the unit to facilitate the setting of the clock and if needed, the replacement of clock hands (15a) and (15b).
A unitary clock and picture frame. The clock and the area for receiving the picture occupy the same space within the frame. The clock movement housing is located between a transparent front panel and a rear panel of the frame. A drive stem assembly for receiving hand members extends outwardly from the movement housing through an opening in the transparent front panel, and hand members are attached to the outer portion of the drive stem assembly. Non-numeric hour indicia forming a clock face are located on said transparent front panel and have a configuration such that they continue to constitute a readable clock face when the transparent front panel is either rotated, reversed, or both rotated and reversed, thereby permitting the clock face to be located at any one of several predetermined locations depending upon its relationship to a picture to be inserted into the frame.
A picture frame includes a frame body having both a sound generating mechanism and a movement mechanism connected to the picture frame. In one embodiment, the movement mechanism comprises a winding member providing additional ornamentation for the picture frame. In another embodiment, the winding mechanism forms part of the support structure for the picture frame. The picture frame has a multi-dimensional sense of beauty by enabling not only an audible component but also a spatial component through movement along a space adjacent to the picture being displayed.
A desk calendar and clock combination, including: a table clock having a coupling groove at front side near the bottom; a supporting plate having a longitudinal series of through holes alinged along one side and two outward coupling flanges symmetrically disposed at two opposite ends for coupling to the coupling groove on the table clock alternatively; and a calendar consisting of a stack of loose leaves for showing the months, weeks, and days of two continuous years on two opposite pages of each loose leaf, and having a series of longitudinally spaced binding holes respectively fastened to the through holes on the supporting plate by a respective fastening element.
A chronological display device depicting a displayed event and a continuous time display informing the viewer of continuous time intervals from the unchanging event to the present time or the remaining time to a future unchanging event.
A time interval and event display device depicting a displayed event and a continuous time display informing the viewer of continuous time intervals from the unchanging event to the present time or the remaining time to a future unchanging event.
