Complete Specification Left, 6th Jan., 1900-Accepted, 24th Feb., 1900
I, PAUL STADELMANN, Merchant, of Charlottenstrasse 96, Düsseldorf, Germany,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object, to produce sample cards on which the colours
are arranged or applied in such a manner, that they are protected from mechanical
injury, dirt and dust, and will always present a good appearance.
For this purpose, I apply the colouring matter to a film or sheet of transparent
material and then fix the latter face downwards to the cardboard or other founda-
tion by means of a suitable adhesive substance or other means.
The sample card may be rectangular or of any other suitable shape, and
several cards may be bound together to form a sample book. The transparent
material or backing may consist of one film or of several films or sheets of any
suitable shape, and the same transparent film or sheet may be coated with one
colour, or several colours or shades may be applied to it side by side.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a face view of a sample card embodying my invention,
Fig. 2 is a section along line A-B of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a partial section on a larger scale.
On the base a of cardboard or other suitable strong material are printed a
number of panels d, according to the number of colours or shades to be shown on
the same card or page, and on each of these panels is pasted or gummed a film b
of gelatine or other suitable transparent material, after it has been coated on the
back with a layer of the desired colour or shade; indicates a thin layer of
adhesive substance for fixing the film upon the card.
The transparent film protects the layer of colouring matter from mechanical
injury, dirt, dust moisture, and atmospheric influences, and may impart to it a
certain brilliancy.
In some cases the adhesive substance may be mixed with the colouring matter.

statement:
This invention has for its object, to produce sample cards on which the colours
are arranged or applied in such a manner, that they are protected from mechanical
injury, dirt and dust, and will always present a good appearance.
For this purpose I apply the colouring matter to a film or thin sheet of trans-
parent material and then fix the latter face downwards to the cardboard or other
foundation by means of a suitable adhesive substance or other means.
The sample cards may be rectangular or of any other suitable shape, and
several cards may be bound together to form a sample book. The transparent
material or backing may consist of one film or of several films or sheets of any
suitable shape, and the same transparent film or sheet may be coated with one
colour, or several colours or shades may be applied to it side by side.

In the drawings filed with the Provisional Specification.
Fig. 1 is a face view of a sample card embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a section along line A-B of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a partial section on a larger scale.
On the base a of the cardboard or other suitable material are printed a number
of panels e, according to the number of colours or shades to be shown on the same
card or page, and on each of these panels is pasted or gummed a film b of gelatine
or other suitable transparent material, after it has been coated with a layer of
the desired colour or shade; & indicates a thin layer of adhesive substance for
fixing the film upon the card.
The transparent film protects the layer of colouring matter from mechanical
injury, also from dirt, dust, moisture, and other atmospheric influences, and
may impart to it a certain brilliancy.
In some cases the adhesive substance may be mixed with the colouring matter.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. A sample card for colours, consisting of a foundation of cardboard or other
suitable material, and a transparent film or films which has or have been coated
on one side with colouring matter and then fixed face downward to the foundation,
substantially as described.
2. The manufacture of sample cards for colours in the manner described.
