To all whom it may eoucern: l

Be it known that l, LEVE W, YAGG-Y, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lake Forest, in the conn-'ty of Lake and State of illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Iniprovement in Tablets Showing How to Mix "Paints, which is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l shows the Colors arranged in a prea sectional view taken throu gli the color-board and the revolving disks connected therewith, showing how these disks areattaehed to the eolorboardlfig. 3 shows a front visivothe color-board shown in Fig. l. fi is a basl; or under view of the disks attached to the eenter of the Color-board shown inv Fig. l. Fig. 5 is the opposite side 'of that side oi the dish shown in Fig. i, showing: the printing thereon. Fig. G shows the two disks whieh revolve on the color-board, Fig. i, turned relatively to eaoh other in position 'tov shoiv through them. Fig. 7 shows these saine two disks revolved relatively to each other to show Whe-t colors are used to produce wthat is termed a tertiary color. Fig. 8 shows these saine disks revolved relatively to eachother,

so that when they are turned on the color-- board they will show colors complementary to ee-oii other.

The object of my invention is to furnish :t tablet of colors to be used by those who wish to mixpigxnents or colors to produoe eertsin other colors that are shown on my AT'When it is desired to produce a eert-ain eolor in mixing paints, especially those to be used by artists in painting pictures, it .is very difficult to determine what eolor it is ueoessary to use to produce the Adesires'i eolor. it is well understood that there are three primary colors z blue, red, and yellow. There arethree secondary eolorsagreen, Whioh is produced byniixing in equal parte yeilow and' blue; purple, Whieh is prodneed by inixin gv in equal parts blue andred, and orange,`whieh is profl u eed by mixing in equal parts red and yellow.

tablet', ss shown in Fig. l of the drawings,iequidistanoes apart relatively to eaeh other ,.4 and at equal distaneesfrom the center. ofthe .5 5. color-board. -l have also arranged the see.

ondery colors between the two primary-colors of which they are composed. l have alsorv f shown betweenthe secondary colors and the primary eolors some tertiary eolors,fas marked, 6c in Fig. l. Within the said ring containing the primary, seeondary, and seine of the ter tiary Colors sectors of the remaining principal and most useful tertiary colors ere shown. i

l have two disks A and B, which Lare eenf4v t65 trally seeured on a stud C, saidstud.bein-5.1;:y iirinly attached to the eohfirbosrd at itseei-. ter. The disk A is provided with four'openings D corresponding in size to the primary and seeondary eoiors on the e-olor-bpard, and ,7o an opening E eorrespondingin,site to theter.-E tiary colors arranged on the eoioibosrdsbe.- i tween the primer? and seeondary colors and 'the eeuter of the hoard. ln the dish B, l havey ,f seven oreningsi? correspondinginsizeto them 5 openings l) in the disk A and arrangedtthe i seine distance from the oonierfof the dislqi; ,ig G eorresgionding to'the opening E in disk A. fr

The disks A and i3 are seenred together a 8o their outer edges by an overlappingr#piecev li', 'f sttaehed to a proieoting iange l. The overlapping piece li is seonred to a stnd J`,1b`y l which the disks are revolved one' onthother or on the eeniier post or stud C. l placev stops" S5 Kon these disks to liniit the distance of revo-I lution oi one disk on the other.- The Aoverlapping' @ieee these disks and rela irl strik-iithese stops.

Then byturning the disks on thc color-board until the secondary color phich it is desired to xnakc-as, for instance,

oran gewappears throughihe central open ingi yellow-will appear through the other two,

Ii itis desired to make purplaby openings. again turning the disks so that pm'ple will appear through the central opening of the three openings, red and blue will appear through the other two openings, therelry1 showing what primary colors are mixed together to produce each of the secondary colors.v r When the two l disks are revolved so that the figures 1, 2 and 5 appearin juxtaposition, as shown in Fig. 6, the words To sho'w how secondary colors are made appear through the opening E in the disk A.

1f it is desired to produce a tertiary color, the disks A and B are revolved relatively to each other and to the color-board, so that the figures 2 and 7 are brought in juxtaposition,

`as shownin Fig. 7 of the drawings. At the same timetlic words To show howvtertiary colors are made appear through one of the openings D, and two different colors will appear through the openings D, and a tertiary color will appear through the openingE; The

two colors shown through the openings D will always be the colors which are mixed to prod ucc the tertiary color which appears through the opening E.V By revolving the two disks A and Bin that position relatively to each other to cause whatever tertiary color it i's desired to make o f all the tertiary colors ar ranged in position to appear through the opening E as the disks revolve on the color-board, the two colors required to make thattertiary color will appear through the openings D.

Vhen it is desired to ascertain which of the colors are complementary to each other, the disks A and B are revolved relatively to each other and to the color-board, so that the iigures i? and G appear in juxtaposition, as shown in Fig. S, when the words, To show coni.- plementary colors will appear through the opening E in the disk. Then by turning the disks while in that position on the colonboard the colors which appear through the openings D will always he complementary to each other. 'lo bring these colors which are complementary to each other in position on the colorboard opposite to cach other, I have arranged some of the tertiary colors in the circle on the color-b0ard in which I have placed the pri- It will thus be seen that by this arrangement of colors on the color-board and bymeans of theI disks which are revolved on'the color-board traer? i relatively to each other to bring Atheir open ings .in certain relative positions `I am able to show through the openings-in thc disks the primary colors, all. of the other colors being coveredy by thc disks. l am also'able by turning the disks relatively to cach other and into a lcertain position relative to the color board to set them so that when the disks are `revolved on the color-board two primary colorsl only will show through the disks and. at the same time a secondary color7 which is produced by mixing these two primary colors together, and hy turning the disks the primary V-eolors necessary to use to produce the desired secondary color are shown through the disks at the same time that that particular sccn ondary color is shown, allfof the other colors on the color-board being covered. In `the same manner I disclose what colors are required for making any of the tertiary colors,

produce any desiredlcolore-sas, for instance,

if one wishes /to produce a particular color, shade, or, tint, that particular color, shade or tint is foundfon the color-hoard, and then by the use ofl tiiecolor-board the disks are used to exhibit through them the desired tint or color and at the same time exhibit through them the eolor/swllieh are to be mixed to produce the desiredeolbr, shade, or tint.

By the use oi thecolor-board with the disks all of the other colors are covered, excepting the one .which it is desired to make and the two colors which are used to make that desired color.

My tablet showing how to mix pigments or colors is adapted to be used in schools as a study with which to teach the science of colors from the primary colors through all thc different colors and shades and tints which can be produced, and which are used in painting pictures or in anyother department of practical orartistic work in which colors are mixed to produce certain other colors, shades or tints.

I of course publish a description ol;` my tablet, with the method of operating it, to he used in connection with the tablet in schools, which furnishesa complete study of colors, teaching .the method of using them.

Having fully described the construction and operation of my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Jatent, is-

l. In a tablet showing how to mix colors, a color-board bearing different colors arranged in a certain predetermined method; and movable plates or disks havingopenings through them which are movable upon the color-board XOO plates or disks, the openings being so arranged that when the plates or disks are revolved into a certain position as to each other, only one class of colors will be exhibited through said plates or disks as they are-revolved upon the color-board, together With the colors required to be mixed to produce that class of colors.

' vIn a tablet showing how to mix colors, a color-board having colors on it arranged in a definite predetermined method of arrangement; plates or disks rcvolubleon said colorboard, having openings through which the various colors are exhibited that are required to be mixed to produce a certain other color, which is also exhibited through one of the openings, with printing on the lower disk that will bc exhibited through an opening in the ripper disk, stating what class of colors is to be produced by mixing the colors which are exhibited' through the plates or disks when revolved upon the color-board in thatfpartib' ular position relative to each other. f.
