ABSTRACT:
A clock useful for instruction in how to read time comprising a face and two sets of numbers, the first set including integers one through twelve and the second set including integers zero through fifty-nine, positioned about the face and contained within differently colored bands first and second distances, respectively, from a center point of the face. The clock includes an hour hand colored the same as the first band and a minute hand colored the same as the second band rotatably attached to the face at the center point and extending to the first and second sets of numbers, respectively, the minute hand being longer than the hour hand. The face is divided into twelve equally sized segments, each of which is further divided into five equally sized sub-segments, beginning at the top center of the face and proceeding in a clockwise direction. The first segment contains the integer one from the first set of numbers, and the remaining numbers in the first set are arranged consecutively in a clockwise direction about the face. The first sub-segment contains the integer zero from the second set of numbers, and the remaining numbers in the second set are arranged consecutively in a clockwise direction. The clock combines the features of analog and digital clocks and allows a person to read the actual time as soon as he or she can recognize numbers and grasp the "passage of time concept" by observing the movement of hands about the face.
