Display system for showing the days of the week in an electrical timepiece

Claim 1

A display system in a timepiece for showing each of the days of the week in the form of the corresponding initial two letters, said display system being electrically activated, comprising three groups of letters, said first group of letters consisting of an S and an a to the right of said S, the letter a being horizontally divided into two segments so that activation of the lower segment presents the letter u and activation of both segments presents the letter a, said letter S being electrically connected with said lower segment of said letter a for activation together, said second group of letters consisting of a first subgroup of segments including a left segment, a middle segment and a right segment, activation of said left segment and said middle segment forming an M and activatiaon of said middle segment and said right segment forming a W, and a second subgroup of segments to the right of said first subgroup of segments, said second subgroup including an upper left segment, a lower right segment and a middle horizontal segment, activation of said lower right segment and said upper left segment presenting the letter o, and activation of all three segments in said second subgroup forming the letter e, said left segment in said first subgroup being electrically connected with said lower right segment in said second subgroup, said middle segment in said first subgroup being electrically connected with said upper left segment in said second subgroup, and said right segment in said first subgroup being arranged for simultaneous electrical activation with said horizontal segment of said second subgroup connected with said horizontal segment in said second subgroup, and a third group of letters consisting of a T, and a u to the right of said T, a long vertical bar having a horizontal arm extending rightward therefrom at approximately the mid-point thereof, said long vertical bar having lower and upper ends and being positioned with its lower end within the vertical legs of said u, a horizontal bar having a left end positioned with its left end proximate the upper end of said long vertical bar, a short vertical bar positioned to the right of said u and a curved bar in an angled position to the right of said short vertical bar, said long vertical bar and said horizontal bar forming an F, said long vertical bar and said short vertical bar forming an h and said short vertical bar with said curved angle bar forming an r, said long vertical bar and said short vertical bar being electrically connected and said horizontal bar and said curved angled bar being electrically connected, said first group thereby being adapted for presenting Sa and Su, said second group being adapted for presenting Mo and We, and said third group being adapted for presenting Tu, Th and Fr, whereby the initial two letters of all days of the week may be presented.
