Abstract
A device and methods of placing the device for indicating tidal water depth is described. The device having a body in a vertical orientation, with a top, bottom, and at least one viewing surface, with a measurement scale of numerals and marks displayed on the at least one viewing surface, where the numerals increase in value in a direction from the bottom towards the top of the body.
Claims21
A device for indicating tidal water depth comprising:
- a body having a vertical orientation and having:
- a top,
- a bottom, and
- at least one viewing surface;
- and
- a measurement scale displayed on the at least one viewing surface having a plurality of markers, the measurement scale is of a first color, and the at least one viewing surface is of a second color, where the first color contrasts with the second color, the markers indicating an increase in value in a direction from the bottom towards the top of the body, the device is configured to be secured in a fixed position relative to a location within a body of water.
A device for indicating tidal water depth comprising:
- a body having a vertical orientation and having:
- a top,
- a bottom, and
- at least one viewing surface;
- and
- a measurement scale displayed on the at least one viewing surface having a plurality of markers, the measurement scale is of a first color and is sized to be readily visually discernible by a viewer at distances greater than 100 feet, and the at least one viewing surface is of a second color, where the first color contrasts with the second color, the markers indicating an increase in value in a direction from the bottom towards the top of the body.
A device for indicating tidal water depth comprising:
- a body having a vertical orientation and having:
- a top,
- a bottom, and
- at least one viewing surface;
- an indicator configured to move vertically as a body of water changes in depth;
- and
- a measurement scale displayed on the at least one viewing surface having a plurality of markers, the measurement scale is of a first color, and the at least one viewing surface is of a second color, where the first color contrasts with the second color, the markers indicating an increase in value in a direction from the bottom towards the top of the body.
A device for indicating tidal water depth comprising:
- a body having a vertical orientation and having:
- a top,
- a bottom, and
- at least one viewing surface;
- and
- a measurement scale displayed on the at least one viewing surface having a plurality of markers, the measurement scale is of a first color, and the at least one viewing surface is of a second color, where the first color contrasts with the second color, the markers indicating an increase in value in a direction from the bottom towards the top of the body, at least a portion of the device is coated with one or more of a corrosion inhibitor, UV inhibitor, anti-fouling layer, and reflective coating.
A device for indicating tidal water depth comprising:
- a body having a vertical orientation and having:
- a top,
- a bottom, and
- at least one viewing surface, the body comprises a right cylinder;
- and
- a measurement scale displayed on the at least one viewing surface having a plurality of markers, the measurement scale is of a first color, and the at least one viewing surface is of a second color, where the first color contrasts with the second color, the markers indicating an increase in value in a direction from the bottom towards the top of the body.
