Abstract
A circular disk protractor made of a transparent plate material and having a peripheral circumference of 400 mm has a length scale graduated in millimeters around the circumferential edge thereof from an origin, an angle scale graduated in degrees of angle around a circle concentric with the disk from an origin angularly coincident with the origin of the length scale, and a polar distance scale comprising a plurality of concentric radially spaced apart circles which are concentric with the disk and constitute graduations to indicate distances in millimeters from the center of the disk.
Claims4
A disk protractor comprising:
- a transparent, circular, planar disk having an outer peripheral circumference of 400 n length units, where n is an integer;
- a length scale graduated in said length units and inscribed along and around the circumferential edge of the circular disk from an origin zero point;
- an angle scale graduated in degrees of angle and inscribed along and around a circle inscribed concentrically relative to said outer peripheral circumference and having an origin zero point on the same radial line from the center of the circle as the zero point of the length scale;
- and a polar distance scale comprising a plurality of concentric radially spaced apart circles having a common center coincident with the center of the circular disk and having graduations to indicate distances from the center, the latter circles being equally spaced a distance apart thereof by 2 n of said length units at the outer peripheral circumference.
