Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] A notebook with a time display function [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, the time is displayed manually by rotating plastic numbers on a long, horizontal plastic rod called a timetable board. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Currently, they carry a timetable board and communicate the duration of stay, break time, departure time, etc. as they go. However, because it is relatively large, it is bulky and heavy to carry around. Because there are multiple items, it is not suitable to carry them around and it puts a lot of strain on the body. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] It is possible to carry a time board around, but it is large, so by downsizing it, we believe that we can improve work efficiency, and at the same time, by reducing the size and using laminated numbers to indicate the time, it will be possible to tell the time effortlessly with little force. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] If a watch could also display the time, it would be possible to reduce the number of items one carries, reduce bulky luggage, move more lightly, and shorten work hours. This device was devised to eliminate the drawbacks of increasingly complex work and workloads. The existing time boards are large and difficult to use, so we believe that by downsizing them, we can eliminate this inconvenience. In addition, the time cards can be replaced with other cards, which we believe will broaden the range of uses. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] This device uses a plastic notebook A5 to A4 size (2-hole file). The time display is in two units, one in hours and one in minutes. Each is laminated in A6 to A4 size. It has two holes, is attached to a notebook, and can be turned over manually to display the time. In Figure 1, the laminated numbers are manually rotated to display the time. The time display function is the same as the functional structure of the web time board, and it is used in the same way. Both 4 and 2 are written in numbers and display the time. The time is displayed in two units, one in hours and one in minutes, and is preferably A6 to A4 size and laminated so that it will not tear even if it gets wet. Industrial Applicability

[0008] This device can be used as a timetable board for tour conductors during travel. It can also be used as a clock for the hearing impaired. The number cards can be replaced, so other cards can be used, expanding the range of uses. [Explanation of symbols]

[0009] 1 is a plastic notebook and file in A5 to A4 size. It uses two-hole rings. The number 2 is a laminated numeral. The minutes are displayed through a two-hole ring. 3 and 5 are two-hole rings. The number 4 is a laminated numeral. Time display in hours. Used with a two-hole ring. 5 is the ring hole. 6 is the hole for fixing the band with the eyelet 7 is the band and string attached with grommets to the holes through which the band is passed.

Claims
