Motorized slide stick calendar

A motorized slide stick calendar comprising:

• a. a wall mount having a series of side by side slide openings and a datum;
• b. slides, including a date slide with longitudinally spaced numbers designating days of the month visible thereon and spaced at equal intervals reciprocably received in one of said slide openings, and a month slide with longitudinally spaced indicia indicating successive months of the year at said intervals received in still another slide opening;
• c. said date slide having numbers from one to thirty-one;
• and
• d. clock motor means connected to drive said date and month slides relative to said datum to display the date and month at said datum.

A motorized slide stick calendar comprising:

• a. a wall mount having a slide opening and a datum;
• b. a date slide, with longitudinally spaced indicia designating days of the month from one to thirty-one visible thereon and spaced at equal intervals, received in said slide opening;
• c. a sub-slide carried by said data slide and having relative movement therealong to various positions;
• d. a clock motor drive;
• e. clock motor driven means on said sub-slide driven by said drive to index said slide relative to said datum during successive twenty-four hour periods to display subsequent dates at said datum;
• and
• f. indicia carried on one of said slide and sub-slide permitting adjustment of their relative positions to position the clock motor drive means on the sub-slide for months having 28, 29, 30, or 31 days.

A method of operating a motorized slide stick calendar comprising a wall mounted housing having a slide opening and a datum, a date slide with longitudinally spaced indicia designating days of the month from 1 to 31 visible thereon and spaced at equal intervals, a sub-slide carried by said date slide and having relative movement there along to various positions, a clock motor drive, clock motor driven means on the sub-slide driven thereby to index the slide relative to said datum during successive twenty-four hour periods to display subsequent dates, and indicia carried on said date slide indicating adjustment of the relative positions of the sub-slide and date slide to position the clock motor drive means on the sub-slide for months having selectively 28, 29, 30, or 31 days, comprising the steps of:

• a. moving the slide and sub-slide relatively to position the clock motor driven means for a month having thirty days;
• b. driving the clock motor drive to index the date slide one interval during each twenty-four hour period;
• c. returning the slide at the end of the thirty day period;
• and
• d. moving the slide and sub-slide relatively to position the clock motor drive means for a month having thirty-one days.
