SAMPLE CARD.

' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
MELVIN B. CHURCH, OF GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN.
SAMPLE-CARD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 376,634, dated January 17, 1888.
Application filed October 29, 1887. Serial No. 253,778. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
of Grand Rapids, in the count-y of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sample-Cards; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention is an improved sample-card designed to exhibit the quality and various tints of wall coating. Sample-cards have heretot'ore been made in which smallpieces of paplacard composed of a number or series of sheets, each having its own appropriate tint,
all the sheets being in abook bound uponone margin, but with the other margin made with underlapping edges, so as to expose the sheets in succession, and with a printed upper or front cover indicating the nature of the coating illustrated by the samples. 7
In the accompanying drawing, the figure shows a view of the face or upper surface of the sample-card.
The cover over the front is marked a, and
is printed with the name of the article illustrated, as AL E,and with any suitable ornamentationsuch, for example, as that shown. To show the various tints, it is only necessary to expose the sheet having that tint by lifting or folding back the sheets or cover above it, when the card may be held against thewall, in order that the effect of the tint may be fully observed. As shown, the cover and the successive sheets beneath are cut diagonally across the righthand lowercorner to the bound edge 0 d. In cutting these corners so as to expose the successive sheets having the various tints I out the cover a so as to form a large angle, f g h. The first tinted sheet below it is cut to form a smaller angle, which exposes a wider strip at the lower edge and greatly diminish- Be it known that I, MELVIN 13. Carmen,
ing as it approaches the right-hand margin. Sheet 2 is cutat a still less angle, and the other sheets, 3, 4., 5, and so on, each representing a particular tint, are out each in succession at a lessvangle, so as toshow a margin diminishing in like manner from the bottom up to the edge. This shows the tints in perspective, and by this construction the edges are kept smooth, with little liability to curl up. Instead of the sheet being 'cut on a straight line, as shown, thelines may be curved or wavy. On the cover a, and along the diagonally-cut edge thereof, is represented a scroll tapering toward the converging point of the diagonal edges. This scroll may be made to represent the cover as rolled back upon itself, thus exposing the sheets beneath, or it can be represented asbeing distinct from the cover. Its purpose, besides being ornamental, is to aid in producing the perspective appearance,
I claim- 1. A sample-card for exhibiting wall-tints, consisting of a series of leaves bound together on one margin, with the free edge of the leaves out successively of different lengths, the edges being exposed in order, the sheets being provided with an ornamental advertisingeover, substantially as described.
2. A sample-card composed of a series of sheets covered with the samples of the wallcoatingbound upon one margin, with the free edges upon one cover cut at an angle and underlapping, substantially as described,whereby each margin is shown in perspective, as set forth.
3. In combination, a sample-card composed of a series of sheets cut diagonally and underlapping, with their edges converging, and a cover for said sheets, also having a diagonallycutedge and provided with a perspective design the lines of which converge with the cut edges of the sheets, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two snbscribing witnesses.
MELVIN B. CHURCH.
