Abstract
An educational clock that includes a base, a minute number line chain including a plurality of minute links pivotably connected together, and an hour number line chain including a plurality of hour links pivotably connected together. The minute number line chain is adjustable between an annular shape configured to removably couple to the base and a linear shape. The hour number line chain is adjustable between an annular shape configured to removably couple to the base concentrically with the minute number line chain and a linear shape. The minute number line chain and the hour number line chain are approximately the same length when each is in its linear shape.
Claims27
An educational clock comprising:
- a base;
- a minute number line chain removably coupled to the base, the minute number line chain including a plurality of minute links and a plurality of minute link pivot joints, each minute link pivotably connected to an adjacent minute link at a minute link pivot joint;
- and
- an hour number line chain removably coupled to the base concentrically with the minute number line chain, the hour number line chain including a plurality of hour links and a plurality of hour link pivot joints, each hour link pivotably connected to an adjacent hour link at an hour link pivot joint,
- wherein the minute link pivot joints and the hour link pivot joints are arranged on a common circle.
An educational clock comprising:
- a base;
- a minute number line chain removably coupled to the base, the minute number line chain including a plurality of minute links and a plurality of minute link pivot joints, each minute link pivotably connected to an adjacent minute link at a minute link pivot joint;
- and
- an hour number line chain removably coupled to the base, the hour number line chain including a plurality of hour links and a plurality of hour link pivot joints, each hour link pivotably connected to an adjacent hour link at an hour link pivot joint,
- wherein the minute number line chain and the hour number line chain are disposed concentrically and partially overlap each other, and
- wherein the minute link pivot joints and the hour link pivot joints are located where the minute number line chain and the hour number line chain are overlapping.
An educational clock comprising:
- a base;
- a minute number line chain including a plurality of minute links pivotably connected together;
