Abstract

An asymmetrical balance device includes nine positions formed thereto, from position 1 to position 9, each of the positions being a center of gravity of a part disposed thereto, the center of gravity having a value the same as the numeral designating the position, the eight positions, except position 5, being arranged to form a square with the position 5 located at a center of the square, the square including an upper horizontal side, a lower horizontal side, a right vertical side and a left vertical side, the right vertical side respectively intersecting with the upper horizontal side and the lower horizontal side at position 2 and position 6, the left vertical side respectively intersecting with the upper horizontal side and the lower horizontal side at position 4 and position 8, the upper horizontal side and the lower horizontal side respectively having position 9 and position 1 located at a middle point thereof, the right vertical side and the left vertical side respectively having position 7 and position 3 located at a middle point thereof such that the device is maintained to be balanced corresponding to any straight axis including three positions.

Claims

1. An asymmetrical balance means comprising nine positions formed thereto, from position 1 to position 9, each of the positions being a center of gravity of a part disposed thereto, said center of gravity having a value the same as the numeral designating said position;

said eight positions, except said position 5, being arranged such that a square is formed by connecting said eight positions with said position 5 located at a center of said square;

said square comprising an upper horizontal side, a lower horizontal side, a right vertical side and a left vertical side, said right vertical side intersecting with said upper horizontal side at said position 2 and intersecting with said lower horizontal side at said position 6, said left vertical side intersecting with said upper horizontal side at said position 4 and intersecting with said lower horizontal side at said position 8, said upper horizontal side having said position 9 located at a middle point thereof and said lower horizontal side having said position 1 located at a middle point thereof, said right vertical side having said position 7 located at a middle point thereof and said left vertical side having said position 3 located at a middle point thereof;

a first loop inscribing said square, said square and said first loop contacting each other at said positions 7, 9, 3 and 1;

a first cross frame disposed within said first loop and an intersection of said first cross frame being coincident with a center of said first loop; and

a second loop circumscribing said square.

2. The asymmetrical balance means as claimed in claim 1 wherein said means comprises a third loop inscribing said square and having four positions disposed thereto, said four positions being position 7, position 9, position 3 and position 1;

a fourth loop having a projection circumscribing said square and disposed below said third loop with at least two links connected between said third loop and said fourth loop, and

a second cross frame disposed within said fourth loop and an intersection of said second cross frame being coincident with a center of said fourth loop.

3. An asymmetrical balance means comprises nine positions formed thereto, from position 1 to position 9, each of said positions being a center of gravity of a part disposed thereto, said center of gravity having a value which is a multiple of the numeral designating said position;

said eight positions, except said position 5, being arranged such that a square is formed by connecting said eight positions with said position 5 located at a center of said square;

said square comprising an upper horizontal side, a lower horizontal side, a right vertical side and a left vertical side, said right vertical side intersecting with said upper horizontal side at said position 2 and intersecting with said lower horizontal side at said position 6, said left vertical side intersecting with said upper horizontal side at said position 4 and intersecting with said lower horizontal side at said position 8, said upper horizontal side having said position 9 located at a middle point thereof and said lower horizontal side having said position 1 located at a middle point thereof, said right vertical side having said position 7 located at a middle point thereof and said left vertical side having said position 3 located at a middle point thereof;

a first loop inscribing said square, said square and said first loop contacting each other at said positions 7, 9, 3 and 1;

a first cross frame disposed within said first loop and an intersection of said first cross frame being coincident with a center of said first loop; and

a second loop circumscribing said square.

4. The asymmetrical balance means as claimed in claim 3 wherein said means comprises a third loop inscribing said square and having four positions disposed thereto, said four positions being position 7, position 9, position 3 and position 1;

a fourth loop having a projection circumscribing said square and disposed below said third loop with at least two links connected between said third loop and said fourth loop, and

a second cross frame disposed within said fourth loop and an intersection of said second cross frame being coincident with a center of said fourth loop.
