Title:
DISPLAYING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004013708
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The inventive displaying device comprises a first disc (2) provided with a lunar image (20) and a second disc (3) provided with a marking (30) which is embodied in the form of a sequence of light and dark zones. Each disc is mounted on a rotatable shaft which is actuated by a set of gears (402, 204, 201, 403, 304, 301, 303). A judicious definition of said gears makes it possible to perform the high-accuracy display of the moon phases. An additional disc (4) provided with the image of the sun (40) and actuated by the same set of gears, and the marking of tides (21, 22, 41, 42) on said discs makes it possible to estimate a tidal effect for a determined region of the ocean surface.
