Abstract
Abstract Three theoretical biorythmic body cycles of different length are normally plotted on charts in graph form. In the invention each cycle is represented by a separate dial with pointer, the pointers being coupled by drive gears of different ratios to the pointer on a master dial.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A biorhythm indicator comprising: a face plate; a set of circular dials disposed on said face plate, each of said dials bearing scales of varying cycle length calibrated in days and disposed along the periphery thereof; an additional circular dial disposed on said face plate bearing a scale of predetermined cycle length calibrated in days and disposed along the periphery thereof; a plurality of split shafts rotatably mounted in the center of each of said circular dials; pointer means removably mounted on each of said split shafts and cooperating with the scales on each respective dial; and gear means interconnecting said pointer means, said gear means being of the same ratio as the cycle length of said scale whereby movement of the pointer means of said additional circular dial produces synchronous movement of each of the remaining pointer means on said set of circular dials.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A biorhythm indicator comprising: a face plate; a set of circular dials disposed on said face plate, each of said dials bearing scales of varying cycle length calibrated in days and disposed along the periphery thereof; an additional circular dial disposed on said face plate bearing a scale of predetermined cycle length calibrated in days and disposed along the periphery thereof; a plurality of split shafts rotatably mounted in the center of each of said circular dials; pointer means removably mounted on each of said split shafts and cooperating with the scales on each respective dial; and gear means interconnecting said pointer means, said gear means being of the same ratio as the cycle length of said scale whereby movement of the pointer means of said additional circular dial produces synchronous movement of each of the remaining pointer means on said set of circular dials.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The indicator of claim 1 wherein said set of circular dials comprises three dials disposed on said face plate and said varying cycle lengths are 33, 28 and 23 days, respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The indicator of claim 2 wherein said gear means comprises an individual gear attached to each of said split shafts and a plurality of idler gears interconnecting the individual gears.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The indicator of claim 1 wherein said set of circular dials comprises three dials, each of said dials representing a different biorhythm cycle.
