Abstract

PURPOSE:To measure the length of a color sample along with quick selection thereof. CONSTITUTION:A color sample 2 is provided at least one side of a color measure body 1. In use as a color sample, color is selected from a plurality of color samples to perform a color matching. The identification of color is accomplished by a chroma signal and a hue signal carried on a display section 4 or by a measurement numeral 7 positioned on the rear of the color samples. In the measurement of the length, parts are gauged with a measure 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a color measure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a measure and a color sample have been separated, and the length of a person trying on the clothes and the size of clothes (hereinafter referred to as a size) measure at a clothing store or the like is measured to measure the color of the clothes. The color of the combination was determined by a color sample.

[0003]

However, in actual work, while measuring the size with a measure, we also see the combination of the color scheme of clothes, etc. If the color sample and the measure are separate, Since I had to change hands, it was very troublesome when I was busy, which made my work inefficient, and also caused me to lose one of them. In addition, this color sample is made up of 100 or more colors, one card for each color, and they are stacked so as not to scatter, and one or two colors are extracted from the card in which the necessary colors are stacked. I chose a color scheme for clothes, so it took me a long time to select a color from over 100 types. There is a problem that it is difficult to extract other types of colors from this color sample and it is difficult to compare with other colors.

An object of the present invention is to provide a color measure which allows a color image to be quickly selected by a color sample without taking time to color the clothes, and which does not require a change of the measure and the color sample. .

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The gist of the present invention is to provide a color sample on at least one side surface of a main body.

[0006]

According to the present invention thus constructed, when a color combination is viewed, a color sample is used to search for and select a required color, and when measuring, the main body is measured by an inside-out measure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, a color measure main body 1 is formed in a ribbon shape, and its surface has a plurality of color samples 2.
Are attached at equal intervals of 1 cm. The scale 3 on the back surface has scale display lines 5 printed at the minimum unit of 1 mm. A measured numerical value 7 is printed on the opposite side of the scale display line 5, and each measured numerical value 7 corresponds to each color sample 2. A display unit 4 for displaying the saturation and hue of the color sample 2 in the corresponding section is provided at the upper end of each color sample 2, and a saturation symbol is displayed on the left side of each display unit 4 and a hue symbol is displayed on the right side. (Only a part is shown).

Next, the arrangement order of the color sample 2 will be described with reference to Table 1.

[0009]

[Table 1]

In Table 1, the hue starts from R (red) with respect to saturation V (bibit), and is YR (yellow red), Y (yellow), GY (green yellow), G.
(Green), BG (Blue Green), B (Blue), PB (Purple Blue), P (Purple). Each saturation is provided with the above 10 hues in the same order, and the arrangement order of the saturations is the saturation V (bibit).
Starting with, S (strong), B (bright), P
(Pale), Vp (Berry Pale), Lgr (Light Grayish), L (Light), Gr (Glaish), D
l (Dal), Dp (Deep), Dk (Dark), Dg
The order is r (dark grayish). The order of arrangement is monotone in 10 steps with the brightness changed from white to black. As a result, the total number of color samples 2 is divided into 12 levels of saturation for each of 10 levels of hue, so that there are 120 colors, and 10 monotones are added to provide a total of 130 colors. Next, the operation of the color measure thus configured will be described. When used as a color sample, a color is selected from a plurality of color samples 2 to perform color matching,
In order to identify the color, it is identified by the saturation symbol and the hue symbol described on the display unit 4, or by the measured numerical value 7 located on the back side of each color sample 2. When measuring the length, the color measure body 1 is turned over and each part is measured with the measure 3.

As described above, in the color measure of this embodiment, since the color sample 2 and the measure 3 are integrated, it is not necessary to bother to change the both, and the working efficiency is improved.

Further, the target color can be designated easily and quickly by converting the color identification into a symbol and a numerical value. That is, to explain more concretely an example in which the color is numerically described, the color sample 2 having the saturation V (bihit) and the hue R (red) corresponds to the first measurement value 7, and the saturation V ( The color sample 2 whose color is B (hit) and whose hue is G (green) corresponds to No. 5 of the measurement value 7. In this way, it suffices to specify the measurement numerical value 7 corresponding to each color sample 2.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and it is also possible to implement a part of the constitution as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention as follows.

(1) Although the measure 3 is set in the unit of centimeter in the above embodiment, it may be set in the unit of inch. (2) Although each color sample 2 is attached to the color measure main body 1 in the above embodiment, it may be printed directly on the color measure main body 1.

(3) As shown in FIG. 2, a saturation display portion 6 displaying only the saturation symbol is provided in a width of 1 cm at a position where each saturation is switched, and the arrangement order of hues of each saturation is the same. The display unit 4 may be omitted because it is in order. As a result, the area of the color sample 2 is larger than that of the color sample 2 of the above-described embodiment, and the color sample 2 is easier to handle.

(4) The arrangement order of the color sample 2 is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be changed arbitrarily.

[0017]

As described above in detail, according to the color measure of the present invention, since the measure and the color sample are integrated with each other, it is not necessary to bother to change the both, so that the workability is improved. Then, there is an excellent effect that the color can be identified quickly and surely.
