PAINTERS SAM PLE-BOOK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 371,701, dated Octobe 18, 1887.
Application filed January 24, 1887.
Be it known that 1, JOHN H. PARKER, of Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga, State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Painters Sample-Books, of which the following is a description sufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which said invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 represents a leaf of my improved book provided with four samples or shades of mixed paints, and Fig. 2 the key.
My invention relates to that class of samplebooks which are employed by painters and the manufacturers of paints or of inks, dyes, 850., to exhibit or illustrate the colors and shades of their wares; and it consists in a book having leaves on which samples of mixed paints or inks, dyes, &c., are respectively displayed, each sample being numbered, or numbered and named, and also marked or designated with reference-letters, or letters and figures, in combination with a key containing a list of the ingredients of which the various paints, inks, dyes, &c., are composed, said list being numwith the respective reference numbers and letters on the samples, as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed, the object being to produce a more convenient, reliable, and otherwise desirable article of this character than is now in ordinary use.
The nature of the improvement will be readily understood by all conversant with such matters from the following explanation.
My improvement is designed to furnish the purchaser or user with ready means for ascertaining the ingredients of the sample paints or inks, dyes, 8nd, shown in the book. To accomplish this I mark or designate the respective colors or shades of paints or inks, dyes, &c., in the sample-book with a series of letters or numerals, or both, each one of which refers to a material or ingredient the name of which is contained in the key, the letter or numeral representing the base or ingredient of which the largest quantity is used in the composition of the color or article referred to be- Serinl No. 225,343. (No model.)
ing placed first, the one representing the next largest quantity being placed second,and so on.
Example: The first shade shown in Fig.1 of the drawings, No. 30, (blu e gray,) has printed under it letters and numerals, as follows: H-A-IIl. By reference to the key shown in Fig. 2 it will readily be seen that H refers to at once see by reference to the key that the paint represented thereby is composed of White lead, yellow ocher, blue Prussian, and lampblack, and in proportions corresponding substantially with the arrangement of the reference letters and figures pertaining thereto. It will-also readily be seen that this is of great advantage to a purchaser, as it enables him to determine at once the quality of the paint through a knowledge of its ingredients, it being possible to produce certain shades by the use of other and poorer ingredients than those indicated in the key, and the same applies in like manner to inks, dyes, &c., to which the book is adapted.
The key shown in Fig. 2 may be printed at the beginning or end of the sample-book, or may be furnished upon a separate card, which last method I deem preferable, as it may sometimes be desirable to show the sample-book and yet keep the compositions of the paints, 850., a secret.
I do not confine myself to placing the letter or numeral indicating the base or largest ingredient composing a color first in the series, as described, as the order may be reversed and the series begin with the smallest ingredient;
or the letters and numbers may be arranged in any convenient position or order, although I deem it preferable to arrange the referenceletters, or letters and figures, as hereinbefore described; neither do I confine myself to using the letters in combination with the figures, as figures alone may be employed, and woe versa.
It will be understood that the book is provided with a series of leaves or pages containing samples of paints; but it is not deemed necessary to show more than one.
Having thus explained my invention, what I claim is 1. A sample book of the character described, comprising a series of leaves or pages on which samples of mixed paints or inks, dyes, and the like are disposed, said samples being-marked or designated by a number and by name of the color, and also by reference letters or figures, or both, and a key containing a list of the ingredients necessary to form said samples, each ingredient having either a letter or figure, or both, to designate the same, the reference letters, figures, or both, of the sample corresponding to the letter, figure, or both, of the key necessary to form said sample, sub stantially as described.
2. A sample book of the character described, comprising a series of leaves or pages,
on which samples of mixed paints or inks, dyes, and the like are disposed, said samples being marked or designated bya number and corresponding to the letter, figure, or both, of 30 the key necessary to form said sample, and being so arranged that the first letter or figure, as the case may be, representing the largest ingredient in the paint, the next letter or figure the next largest, and so on throughout the series, substantially as set forth.
