Abstract
Abstract The 23 day physical biorhythmic cycle, 28 day sensitive biorhythmic cycle, and 33 day intellectual biorhythmic cycle are commonly plotted in phase relationship with each other from a point where they commonly start on the neutral axis representing birth through 100 years in 4 year groupings, with adjacent 4 year groupings being shifted 1 day corresponding to the presence of a leap year in each 4 year grouping. The chart containing the plots is provided with lines indicating day intervals and indicia representing year intervals consecutively from the beginning day of birth. A curve that is a composite of the three biorhythmic curves is vertically aligned and spaced adjacently throughout the chart. A table of consecutively numbered days for specific years with the presence or absence of February 29 in the particular years being compensated for, is also provided so that it may be placed adjacent the plots to align the birthday as indicated by day, month and year on the table with the birthday mark as indicated on the plot, with a shift of one day on the plot according to whether February 29 occurred before or after the birthday within the four year grouping.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
460 words
A device for use in indicating the three basic biorhythm cycles, of a physical cycle having a first fixed repeat pattern cycle starting from birth, a sensitive cycle having a second different fixed repeat pattern cycle starting from birth and an intellectual cycle having a third different fixed repeat pattern cycle starting from birth, all in correlation with a daily calendar for a specific birth date, comprising: a first sheet of material having printed on only one surface a planar graph having a plurality of parallel vertical day lines with equal spaces therebetween representing a fixed multiple of a day, and a horizontal line representing average. biorhythmic tendencies; a first curve fixed directly on said one surface starting from said horizontal line, extending above said horizontal line, returning to said horizontal line, extending below said horizontal line, and returning to said horizontal line in a fixed pattern of 23 days and thereafter serially repeating said pattern at regular intervals of 23 days of said vertical day lines to represent the physical biorhythmic cycle; a second curve fixed directly on said one surface starting from said horizontal line, extending above said horizontal line, returning to said horizontal line, extending below said horizontal line, and returning to said horizontal line in a fixed pattern of 28 days and thereafter serially repeating said pattern at regular intervals of 28 days of said vertical lines to represent the sensitive biorhythmic cycle; a third curve fixed directly on said one surface starting from said horizontal line, extending above said horizontal line, returning to said horizontal line, extending below said horizontal line, and returning to said horizontal line in a fixed pattern of 33 days and thereafter serially repeating said pattern at regular intervals of 33 days of said vertical lines to represent the intellectual biorhythmic cycle; a plurality of birthday year markings fixed directly on said one surface, with said vertical lines and being numbered at year intervals of said vertical lines in order; said birthday year markings, first curve, second curve and third curve all being fixed in a phase relationship such that if extended they would all start at the horizontal line and move upwardly at a common start vertical line representing birth; and a second sheet of material having printed on only one surface, a table of numbered days at a spacing corresponding to the spacing of said vertical lines and consecutively arranged and labeled according to the months of the calendar year, so that the table may be vertically aligned with the graph adjacent the curves in a position such that a birthdate represented by a day and month indication of the table may be vertically aligned with the corresponding birthday year marking on said graph vertically spaced adjacent the curves.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
460 words
A device for use in indicating the three basic biorhythm cycles, of a physical cycle having a first fixed repeat pattern cycle starting from birth, a sensitive cycle having a second different fixed repeat pattern cycle starting from birth and an intellectual cycle having a third different fixed repeat pattern cycle starting from birth, all in correlation with a daily calendar for a specific birth date, comprising: a first sheet of material having printed on only one surface a planar graph having a plurality of parallel vertical day lines with equal spaces therebetween representing a fixed multiple of a day, and a horizontal line representing average. biorhythmic tendencies; a first curve fixed directly on said one surface starting from said horizontal line, extending above said horizontal line, returning to said horizontal line, extending below said horizontal line, and returning to said horizontal line in a fixed pattern of 23 days and thereafter serially repeating said pattern at regular intervals of 23 days of said vertical day lines to represent the physical biorhythmic cycle; a second curve fixed directly on said one surface starting from said horizontal line, extending above said horizontal line, returning to said horizontal line, extending below said horizontal line, and returning to said horizontal line in a fixed pattern of 28 days and thereafter serially repeating said pattern at regular intervals of 28 days of said vertical lines to represent the sensitive biorhythmic cycle; a third curve fixed directly on said one surface starting from said horizontal line, extending above said horizontal line, returning to said horizontal line, extending below said horizontal line, and returning to said horizontal line in a fixed pattern of 33 days and thereafter serially repeating said pattern at regular intervals of 33 days of said vertical lines to represent the intellectual biorhythmic cycle; a plurality of birthday year markings fixed directly on said one surface, with said vertical lines and being numbered at year intervals of said vertical lines in order; said birthday year markings, first curve, second curve and third curve all being fixed in a phase relationship such that if extended they would all start at the horizontal line and move upwardly at a common start vertical line representing birth; and a second sheet of material having printed on only one surface, a table of numbered days at a spacing corresponding to the spacing of said vertical lines and consecutively arranged and labeled according to the months of the calendar year, so that the table may be vertically aligned with the graph adjacent the curves in a position such that a birthdate represented by a day and month indication of the table may be vertically aligned with the corresponding birthday year marking on said graph vertically spaced adjacent the curves.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
the device of claim 1, including a fourth curve fixed directly on said one surface of said first sheet vertically spaced from said first, second, and third curves and being a composite of said first, second and third curves that is in phase with the three curves of which it is a composite.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
85 words
The device of claim 1, wherein said first curve is represented by a line that is physically distinct and consistent for the length of said first curve, said second curve is represented by a line that is physically distinct from the line of said first curve and consistent for the length of said second curve, and said third curve is represented by a line that is physically distinct from the lines representing the other curves and being consistent throughout the length of said third curve.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The device of claim 1, including a plurality of total day indicia spaced at corresponding points along said chart, each associated with the vertical line representing the number of days from the common start of said curves.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
117 words
The device of claim 1, wherein said graph is long enough to represent a 4 year interval having therein one leap year and three of said birthday year markings, each of said birthday year markings being associated with two adjacent vertical lines having a space therebetween representing a one day potential shift of the birthday anniversary date according to whether February 29 occurred before or after the birthday anniversary date for the 4 year span, so that an element of said table containing the actual birthday identifying indicia may be aligned with one of said two lines if February 29 occurred before and with the other of two said adjacent vertical lines if February 29 occurred after.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
