Drivers log device

Claim 1

A device for assisting a driver in the comparison of spaced numbers for computation of hours worked during a specific number of days from a daily record form, comprising: a. a relatively thin, flat, elongated base member formed of a transparent material and having: i. a pair of opposed, parallel, smooth, uninterrupted side edges extending substantially the entire length thereof; ii. a relatively narrow, elongated slot located between and extending parallel to said side edges for a distance which is less than the length of said base member; b. a pair of indexing members mounted on said base member between said slot and one of said side edges for sliding movement relative to said base member and to each other; c. each of said indexing members being in the form of a band snugly encompassing the base member between said slot and said one of said side edges and comcomprising: i. an upper section overlying said base member in facing engagement therewith and having opposed side edges aligned with said slot and said one side edge of said base member; ii. said upper section having a pair of spaced opaque markings defining a transparent area therebetween; iii. a pair of rear sections underlying said base member in facing engagement therewith; iv. a pair of integral, relatively narrow connecting sections extending through said slot and around said one side edge of the base member and interconnecting said front and rear sections; d. the area of the upper surface of said base member which is located between said slot and said other edge thereof is provided with graduated markings thereon which are spaced for alignment with corresponding markings of a standard United States Department of Transportation Drivers Daily Log time sheet.
