| 434304000 | TELLING TIME OR CALENDAR READING | 11 |
| 20080206729 | Apparatus for managing a child's time - A timer and a watch for managing the behavior of children are disclosed. The timer and watch both utilize linear movement to depict the passage of time, which relates a child's instinctive understanding of speed and distance of linear movement to the passage of time. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090246748 | Device and method for teaching the concept of elapsed time - The device for teaching the concept of elapsed time is an educational tool for teaching children the concept elapsed time, and how to understand the passage of time, with emphasis on particular time intervals, such as hourly intervals or portions of the day, and activities associated therewith. The device includes an elongated strip having longitudinally opposed first and second ends. The elongated strip further has opposed front and rear surfaces, and a first set of graduated demarcations is formed on the front surface. A first set of indicia are formed on the front surface adjacent the first set of graduated demarcations, with the first set of demarcations and the first set of indicia representing hours of the day. The first set of indicia represents the hours in the form of “1:00 P.M.” or “12:00 A.M”, for example. The first and second ends are preferably joined together to form a loop. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090269729 | SYSTEM FOR TRACKING THE PASSAGE OF TIME - Systems and methods for tracking the passage of time are described. One system includes a predetermined event and a set of counting units, with each counting unit having a first side displaying a number. Each number corresponds to a number of time increments until the predetermined event. Each counting unit has a second side displaying a portion of an image corresponding with the predetermined event, and when the counting units are arranged in a predetermined arrangement the image is produced. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100035224 | Learning with Magnets - This is a brief description of my idea for children ages 1-5. I have come up with a learning tool to help children connect pictures with words for a daily routine calendar. It is not a typical calendar. It is more of a day to day with times and bonus days. The tool is made out of magnetic receptive paper, magnetic paper, and soft color foam. I have designed a package that goes with it to keep all the magnets. I have enclosed some photos of my idea that I have had copyrighted. I am not sure if my idea needs to be licensed, but if it does I will. I am not wanting to my idea needs a license and maybe a patent. I am not sure. I am not wanting my idea taken from me, cause I know it is the only one that exist and it will be very successful I am praying. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100203490 | CHILDREN'S CLOCK - Among other things, a programmable timing device allows a user to control a state-changing lamp through a program sequence that permits assignment of an on time, an off time and, optionally, a state-change time, repeatable on a daily cycle. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100273137 | TIME TEACHING AIDS AND METHODS - An aid for teaching the concept of time to children and others may include a working analog clock and a manipulative analog clock having features substantially identical to the working analog clock. The working analog clock may be used alone or in conjunction with the manipulative analog clock. Both clocks each include distinctive non-numerical elements such as distinctive wedge sections representing five minute intervals and distinctive hour and minute hands. The manipulative clock may be used by the child or other user by manually moving one or both of the hands to certain ones of the wedge sections such as a section representing the time of the completion of a desired time interval. At the end of the desired time interval or duration, the corresponding hand on the working clock will be disposed at the corresponding certain one of the wedge sections on the manipulative clock. Thus, the user learns more readily by being involved in setting the manipulative clock himself or herself, and also will know when the end of the interval occurs, thereby more readily learning time intervals. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20120094262 | CHILDREN'S DIGITAL DAY PLANNER - A hand-held personal assistance device for a child, and in particular a young child may take the form of a cell phone, a smart phone, a digital tablet or some other hand-held device preferably sized to be comfortably held and manipulated by a small child. The device may be programmed or otherwise configured to provide a visual and/or audible announcement that utilizes alarms, sounds, music or other triggers to get a child's attention at a desired time for a particular task, and thus helps the child develop a learned association with the announcement and the time for the desired task. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120115120 | DEVICE FOR TELLING OR LEARNING TO TELL THE TIME - A kit that may be assembled to produce a device for telling the time or learning to tell the time, more particularly to a device to assist children to learn how to tell the time by reading conventional analog clock. The kit comprises annular members selected from the group consisting of blank annular members, annular members with markings around the periphery dividing the periphery into a plurality of arcs, and mixtures thereof; and a member having a circular transparent face, a peripheral side wall and an optionally removable central boss on which elongated members extending towards the periphery may be mounted. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120308978 | APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR LEARNING - The invention comprises an apparatus for learning as illustrated in FIG. | 12-06-2012 |
| 20130052627 | TIME ZONE TUTORIAL DEVICE - A time zone tutorial device includes: a panel on which a time circle is disposed, the time circle being divided into 24 equal parts, the 24 equal parts being sequentially counterclockwise marked with numerals to represent time; a time zone turntable disposed on a front face of the panel, the time zone turntable having the form of a disc, the time zone turntable having an Equator circle marked with 24 time zones; an indicator positioned on a rear face of the time zone turntable and synchronously rotatable with the time zone turntable, the indicator having an indication section; and a connection member for sequentially connecting the time zone turntable, the indicator and the panel, whereby the time zone turntable is rotatable relative to the panel. | 02-28-2013 |
| 20150072329 | EDUCATIONAL TIMEPIECE - An educational timepiece provided with the hour hand and the minute hand, which comprises a base plate having an upper surface on which the hour hand and the minute hand rotate, and an angle hand rotating on the upper surface of the base plate for measuring the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand, wherein the angle hand serves to measure the angle between the hour hand and one of the hour indication parts adjacent to the hour hand, the interval between every two adjacent hour indication parts being divided by a given angle. | 03-12-2015 |
