Sundial

The sundial of claim 5 further comprising:

• (a) pivot means provided in said support bracket means and said dial means for pivoting said dial means in concert with respect to said support bracket means;
• (b) first analemma adjustment indicia provided on said support bracket means and second analemma adjustment indicia provided on said dial means, whereby said second analemma adjustment indicia is selectively aligned with said first analemma adjustment indicia responsive to pivoting of said dial means with respect to said support bracket means;
• and
• (c) a slot provided in said side legs and wherein said arcuate adjusting plate extends through said slot for vertically adjusting said support bracket means and said dial means in a selected angular relationship with respect to the supporting surface responsive to insertion of said pin means in a selected one of said plate openings.

A sundial which substantially indicates clock time, comprising base means adapted for mounting on a supporting surface;

• support bracket means hingedly carried by said base means and plate adjusting means attached to said support bracket means, said plate adjusting means adapted for engaging said base means in adjustable relationship and adjusting the angle between said support bracket means and the supporting surface;
• a support plate fixedly carried by said support bracket means;
• a connecting plate lying adjacent said support plate in stacked relationship and pivot means connecting said support plate and said connecting plate in pivoting relationship;
• a first semi-cylindrical dial fixedly attached to said connecting plate, with a first concave surface of said first semi-cylindrical dial facing outwardly of said connecting plate;
• a second semi-cylindrical dial fixedly attached to said connecting plate in spaced relationship with respect to said first semi-cylindrical dial, with a second concave surface of said second semi-cylindrical dial facing outwardly of said connecting plate in oppositely-disposed relationship with respect to said first concave surface;
• a first set of spaced time marks provided and identified in sequence on said first concave surface and a second set of spaced time marks provided and identified in sequence on said second concave surface for indicating the passage of time;
• a first gnomon suspended across a diameter of said first semi-cylindrical dial and a second gnomon suspended across a diameter of said second semi-cylindrical dial, respectively, whereby the shadow cast by said first gnomon and said second gnomon sequentially traverses said first set of spaced time marks and said second set of spaced time marks, respectively, substantially in accordance with clock time responsive to rotation of the earth on its axis.

A sundial comprising base means adapted for mounting on a supporting surface;

• support bracket means carried by said base means in a selected angular relationship, said angular relationship substantially corresponding to the latitudinal location of said sundial;
• a pair of curved dial means carried by said support bracket means, said dial means each having a concave surface facing in oppositely-disposed, fixed relationship with respect to each other for sequentially facing the sun;
• spaced time marks provided on said concave surface for marking the passage of time;
• and a pair of gnomons suspended across a diameter of said dial means, respectively, whereby the shadow cast by said gnomons sequentially traverses said concave surface and said time marks substantially in accordance with clock time, responsive to rotation of the earth.
