'-. ,App1ication filed May 2, 1919. Serial No. 294,305.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known-that I, CARL N. WEnN'rz, a citizen of the United States, residing atzChicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have inventedacertain new and useful Improvement in Artists: Color-Boxes, of which thefollowing is a specification.
This invention relates to artiststools and equipment and particularly to; means for carrying different pigments required by the artist. .Theobjects of the invention are, to provide a color box which is mechanicallyvery comhand for shipment.
pact in form, easily and cheaply made, satisfactory in use and not liable 'tosget out of order in which the cover for the box proper constitutes when inverted a convenient water bowl, and'in'which the locking devices for securing the cover onthe box form when swungto different positions, handles for carryingthe open'color box proper'or'a leg or legs for supporting the box from an inclined desk or the like so as to maintain the box substantially'level notwithstanding the inclination of the desk.
,A further and very important object of Figure 1 is a perspective view of mecha nism of this invention in its preferred form, the handles being. in-the position for supporting the boxupon an inclined desk.
- Fig. 2' is a vertical section detail view through the center of the device in the position in which all the parts assume when they are folded together ready for carrying in the Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cover removed from other part of the device then used asa water bowl or the like.
4 is a somewhat reduced perspective .tet
yiew o'f the device when assembled as shown in Fig. 2. r I
prises a color carrier member made vpreferably from a flat plate of suitable metal 10 bent in a stamping machine so asto form a vertical circular depending flange 12v and a pluralityof superficial paint receptacles 14 arranged about the center of the plate and divided substantially equally on; opposite sides of an elongated brush receptacle 16 adapted to contain the brushcl8. Each paint receptacle 14 communicates through a 5i relatively shallow passageway 20 with a deeper, and enlarged mixing chamber or Well for the particular paint color in the adjacent paint receptacle. The paint mixing, wells are for convenience hereafter, numbered 21, 22,23, 24, 25 and 26 on one side of the brush receptacle, and 31, 32, 33, 34-, 35 and 36 on the other side of the brush-receptacle, there being in the preferred form of the device-exactly six such receptacles on" opposite sides of a given line,v which in the form of'the device here shown, happens to be the brush receptacle, but which might be defined-in any other way without departing from this invention.
, The parts thusfar described are normally I k closed and covered by an inverted bowl 38- held in place as a cover member bywire handles 40 and 41 suitablyv pivoted in any suitwardly turned flange 12, the details forming nopart of this invention, the only requirement 'being thatthe joint or hinge for the handles shall be made tight enough so that the handles will readily stay in any of the positions shown in the drawings until manually moved therefrom. In the positions of Figs. 2 and 4 the handles hold the cover in place on the color box in the position shown in Fig. 1; handle 40 is in the position where it holds the front edge of the box, as-viewed inthe drawingsup from an inclined desk so that the top plate 10 of the color box is level or near enough so for practical purposes.
able manner to the bottom edge '42 of down- 1 V In the mechanical mani ulation of the device the operator carries t e box about with everything assembled as shown in Fig. 2. When he gets where work is to be done, he simply moves the handles 40 and 41 either e position of Fig. 1, or-some other (is: r

I pu p I student to solve is what colors to use in When charged inf'this way the first'six are warm colors and the lowersix are cool colors.
In painting in colors the problem for the painting the lights and. the shadows under varying conditions. In'painting a sunlight effect the artist must, in painting the lights, use some orall of the colors heretofore set forth-in the warm section of the box and in v painting thefshadows for said sunlight'eflect he must use one or all of the colors set forth in the second or cool color-section of the box. On the contrary, in indoor pamtmg, -where' sunlight is'not involved, the situatlon is reversedg'the lights must be painted with one or more of the colors in the 0001 color section of the box and the" indoor shadows must be'painted with one or more of the colors from the warm color section of the box.
The result of this situation is that a student, being once giventhe simple formula just set forth and a box equipped in accordance with "this: invention cannot go veryfar wrong in making his picture. Wh1le the device 1s of "great" value for the student, it is of almost equal value to the greatestv artist'because it automatically prevents him frombecoming accidentallyinixed'as'tothe color he is app y g: c
The twelve'c'olors in the box are arranged "so that opposite colors 6., colors on opposite diameters of the box are complementary to each other,with the result that a defsigner having to makea design requiring a harmony of warm colors, can bythe use of the device of this invention 'make his design he may elect, and contrast such colors the V each-other.
