ABSTRACT:
A clock device utilizing a hollow housing having stackable--columnar--first, second and third stations, each having a blinking light emitting diode (LED) controllably connected to a battery through a firm-wired or hardwired circuit with: the upper hour LED being energized first in sequence to present the hour of the predetermined time of day, by flashing such LED in accordance with a control algorithm or first pulse subcode to proved a total number of flashes contained in the time of day, viz., between 1 and 12; a mid-LED being next energized in accordance with a control algorithm or second pulse subcode that is decimally based, i.e., each flash denoting the number of ten minutes blocks or decades contained in the time of day; and a lower-LED being next being energized in accordance with a control algorithm or third pulse subcode that is also decimally based, each flash denoting a number of minute units in a particular 10-minute block, such number being between zero and nine. With such LED's being energized in serial fashion with the hour station providing a traditional hour display and the minute stations providing a decimal based displays, it has been found that children can learn to tell time and to count.
