Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to catalogs, and more particularly to catalogs that display samples. [Background technology]

[0002] When a product or the like listed in a catalog has multiple color variations, a color sample may be displayed in the catalog. A product number is assigned to each color sample, and by placing an order or the like based on that product number, a product having the same color as the color sample can be ordered and purchased.

[0003] Incidentally, for example, decorative sheets used for interior and exterior applications are used on wall surfaces, etc., but there are cases where it is desired to match the color of this decorative sheet with components other than the decorative sheet. For example, there are cases where it is desired to match the color of a door with the color of the decorative sheet on the wall. In addition, there are cases where, due to interior renovations, etc., it is desired to replace a wall surface that has been painted with paint with a decorative sheet of the same color. Note that the decorative sheet is a decorative sheet that is attached to indoor and outdoor walls, fittings, furniture, etc. The decorative sheet is also sometimes called an adhesive-backed decorative film, architectural decorative film, etc.

[0004] In order to meet such needs, a color sample in a catalog may be displayed with an approximate color number that is close to the color of the color sample. This approximate color is a color that is close to the color of the color sample of the decorative sheet among the colors in a color sample book issued by an organization or company (for example, the standard colors for paint issued by the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association). Also, the approximate color number is a color number in the same sample book that is close to the color sample of the decorative sheet. Then, for example, if a user wants to use a decorative sheet instead of a paint, the user can select a decorative sheet of a color sample on which the color number of the paint that has been used until then is displayed as the approximate color number, and can obtain an approximate color even when replacing the paint with the decorative sheet.

[0005] Here, multiple color samples of decorative sheets are displayed on one page of the catalog. Specifically, in the catalog of Non-Patent Document 1, different color samples are displayed in a maximum of 11 columns and 6 columns on one page, and each color sample is a rectangle measuring 1.4 cm in length and 2.8 cm in width.

[0006] In this case, if the product number and the similar color number are displayed for each color sample, the amount of information displayed for each color sample increases. If the space per color sample on a catalog page is fixed, the color sample will be made smaller to accommodate the increased amount of information, but making the color sample smaller is undesirable because it makes it difficult for users to visualize the color.

[0007] On the other hand, if the space per color sample on a page of the catalog was increased, the color samples could remain the same size, but this would reduce the number of color samples displayed per page, resulting in an increase in the number of pages of color samples.

[0008] Therefore, in the catalog of Non-Patent Document 1, the color sample page displays the product number and a mark with simplified information for each color sample in one line. On the other hand, the approximate color numbers are not displayed on the color sample page, and a correspondence table between product numbers and approximate color numbers is published in a separate volume (pages 52 and 53 of Non-Patent Document 1, separate volume). [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0009] [Non-Patent Document 1] Sangetsu Corporation, "REATEC vol.10 2019-2021", published in September 2019 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0010] However, if the similar color numbers are listed in a separate volume, the user must open the color sample page, identify the product number, and then find the corresponding similar color number in the separate volume based on the product number, which is cumbersome. This is not limited to information such as similar color numbers on the color sample page. For example, it also applies to finding information such as product numbers when using wallpaper or large tiles with the same pattern as a pattern sample on the pattern sample page.

[0011] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to easily understand information about samples displayed in a catalog. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, a catalog having a sample page displaying a plurality of samples has an information sheet displaying information of the samples displayed on the sample page, the information sheet has a window portion, the information sheet can be overlaid on the sample page, and when overlaid, the samples on the sample page are positioned in the window portion of the information sheet, and the information sheet displays information of the samples positioned in the window portion outside or inside the window portion.

[0013] The window portion is a hole formed through the information sheet. One side and the other side of the information sheet display information about the sample displayed on different sample pages.

[0014] The sample page is a color sample page, and the sample displayed on the color sample page is a color sample, and what is formed on the information sheet is an approximate color page, and the information of the sample displayed on the approximate color page is approximate color information of the color sample.

[0015] The similar color page further displays the Munsell values ​​of the color sample located in the window. Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the present invention, it becomes easy to understand the information of samples displayed in a catalog. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0018] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention embodied in catalog 1 of a decorative sheet will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 7. About Catalog 1 The catalog 1 of this embodiment is in a left-bound format with a cover not shown, and is bound by binding multiple sheets of mounts 2 with twin rings 3. One side of each mount 2 constitutes one page of the catalog 1, and one mount 2 has two pages since pages exist (are formed) on both sides. Each mount 2 of the catalog 1 includes a table of contents page 4, a pattern sample page 5 as a sample page, a color sample page 6 as a sample page, a similar color page 7, a guide page 8, etc. The mount 2 on which the similar color page 7 is formed serves as an information sheet.

[0019] As shown in Figure 1, the table of contents page 4 is the page that displays the table of contents (INDEX) located at the top when the cover of the catalog 1 is opened, and displays the product series name 41 and page number 42. Note that "display" refers to a state in which letters, patterns, symbols, etc. are displayed by printing, pasting, stamping, etc. Display is also used when samples, specimens, etc. are pasted on the backing 2, and may also refer to a state in which a color sample, etc., located through a hole or cutout formed in the backing 2 can be seen.

[0020] Pattern sample page 5 shown in Fig. 2 is a page following table of contents page 4 of catalog 1, and is a page that displays pattern samples 51 of decorative sheets. Pattern sample page 5 displays pattern samples 51 of drawings, pictures, shapes, etc. of wood grain patterns (left page of Fig. 2), marble patterns, leather patterns, metallic patterns, geometric patterns (right page of Fig. 2), fabric patterns, Japanese patterns, etc. Note that the same pattern may be available in multiple colors, and in this case, pattern samples 51 including different colors are displayed on pattern sample page 5.

[0021] The color sample page 6 shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7 is a page following the pattern sample page 5 in the catalog 1, and is a page that displays a plain, monochrome color sample 61 of the decorative sheet, as shown on the left page of Figure 3 and the right page of Figure 7. This color sample 61 is the sample.

[0022] The similar color page 7 shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7 is a page that displays colors that are similar to the color of the color sample 61 displayed on the color sample page 6, as shown on the right page of Figure 3 and the left page of Figure 7. The similar color page 7 is formed on both sides of the mount 2 bound before or after the color sample page 6.

[0023] Guide page 8 shown in Fig. 4 is a page located at the end of catalog 1, as shown on the right page of Fig. 4, which lists guide information such as contact information for confirming the products displayed in the catalog and for purchasing (addresses and telephone numbers of showrooms and branches, etc.) In addition to the above, catalog 1 also contains an image page, as shown on the left page of Fig. 4, which displays photos of model rooms equipped with the decorative sheets featured in catalog 1 and furniture with matching patterns and colors, but explanations of the other pages will be omitted.

[0024] The mounts 2 are made of opaque cardboard, and each mount 2 has the same vertical dimension as an A4 sheet of paper in portrait orientation (297 mm vertical and 210 mm wide), but is about 15 mm wider. Each mount 2 has a plurality of rectangular binding holes 21 formed along one long side, and the mounts 2 are bound by binding the binding holes 21 with twin rings 3. In addition, a rectangular protruding index 22 is formed on part of the height direction of the long side of the mount 2 opposite the binding holes 21. The vertical position of the index 22 formed on the mounts 2 differs depending on the mount 2, and the indexes 22 of each mount 2 are not completely overlapped when bound. Note that some mounts 2 in the catalog 1 do not have an index 22.

[0025] About pattern sample page 5 and color sample page 6 As shown in Fig. 2, the size of each pattern sample 51 displayed on the pattern sample page 5 is not necessarily constant. For example, while some patterns (e.g. fine wood grain patterns) can be adequately grasped even at a small size, other patterns (e.g. large wood grain patterns) are preferable at a large size in order to be adequately grasped. Also, as shown on the right page of Fig. 2, even if the same type of pattern sample 51 is published on the same page, specifically, a geometric pattern, the size of the pattern sample 51 may be different from a design perspective or the like. The pattern sample 51 used on the pattern sample page 5 is an actual decorative sheet cut to a predetermined size and attached to the mount 2 with an adhesive.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 2, a product number 52 is displayed below the pattern sample 51 on the pattern sample page 5. This product number 52 is the product number of the decorative sheet related to the pattern sample 51, and is composed of a character string combining letters and numbers, for example, "AB1234". Furthermore, on the pattern sample page 5, a mark 53 is displayed following the product number 52 for each pattern sample 51. Although not shown, the meaning of the mark 53 is explained in the margin of the pattern sample page 5. For example, one mark 53 indicates that the decorative sheet of the pattern sample 51 on which it is displayed is a weather-resistant type that can be used outdoors, and another mark 53 indicates that additional installation precautions should be checked when installing the decorative sheet.

[0027] The product number 52 and mark 53 are displayed below each pattern sample 51 on the pattern sample page 5. The color of the surface of the pattern sample page 5 varies depending on the pattern sample 51 on that page. For example, a pattern sample page 5 on which a dark-colored pattern sample 51 is displayed has a white background surface, and a pattern sample page 5 on which a light-colored pattern sample 51 is displayed has a black background surface, but this can be set arbitrarily. For example, the color of the surface may be different on the left and right or top and bottom of a page. When the surface is white, the product number 52 and mark 53 are displayed in black, and when the surface is black, they are displayed in white to improve visibility.

[0028] As shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the catalog 1 has two color sample pages 6, which are located on the left and right pages when the catalog 1 is open. Of the color sample pages 6, the one on the left page of Figure 3 is referred to as the first color sample page 6a. Also, the one on the right page of Figure 7 is referred to as the second color sample page 6b. When a color is common to both the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b, it is collectively referred to as the color sample page 6. Note that, as shown in Figure 6, the mount 2 constituting the similar color page 7 is bound between the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b, so the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b are not two consecutive pages.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b each have a maximum of 5 vertical rows and 4 horizontal rows of color samples 61. In addition, Non-Patent Document 1 has 11 vertical rows and 6 horizontal rows of color samples, but in this embodiment, the number of vertical rows and horizontal rows in one page is reduced. This is merely for the sake of convenience, such as displaying the color samples 61 etc. in a large size to make it easier to understand the drawings. Each color sample 61 displayed on the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b is all different colors. For convenience of explanation, only some of the color samples 61 etc. are labeled in FIG. 3, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7. Each color sample 61 is an actual decorative sheet cut into a rectangle of a certain size, and is attached to the mount 2 with an adhesive in a landscape orientation. There is no particular rule for the arrangement of each color sample 61 on the color sample page 6, but the color samples 61 are often arranged according to hue and numbered, and it is easier to compare colors if colors with similar hues are arranged close to each other. For this reason, the color samples 61 are arranged vertically or horizontally according to hue. The basic positions of the color samples 61 on the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b (a maximum of 5 vertical columns and 4 horizontal columns) are positions that are symmetrical with respect to the center of the twin ring 3. However, depending on the number and color of the color samples 61, there may be some vertical or horizontal rows on each color sample page 6 where no color samples 61 are arranged.

[0030] 3 and 7, the color sample page 6 displays the product number 62 of the decorative sheet corresponding to the color sample 61 below each color sample 61. This product number 62, like the pattern sample page 5, is a character string that appropriately combines alphabets and numbers, such as "YZ3456." Also, like the pattern sample page 5, a mark 63 is displayed following the product number 62. Furthermore, like the pattern sample page 5, the product number 62 and mark 63 are located below each color sample 61 on the color sample page 6.

[0031] Next, the similar color page 7 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, the approximate color page 7 is two pages formed on both sides of one mount 2. The approximate color page 7 is the right page of FIG. 3 and is called the first approximate color page 7a. The left page of FIG. 7 is called the second approximate color page 7b. When it is common to both the first approximate color page 7a and the second approximate color page 7b, it is collectively called the approximate color page 7. The mount 2 constituting the approximate color page 7 is bound between the two color sample pages 6 and can be superimposed on each color sample page 6. The word "Approximate Color" is displayed above each approximate color page 7 to inform the user that the page is an approximate color page. The surface color of the approximate color page 7 is gray. For example, this gray is N-8.88 in Munsell value, and the preferable range is N-8.0 to N-9.5 in Munsell value. By making this range the surface color of the approximate color page 7, the color of the color sample 61 can be grasped well.

[0032] The first similar color page 7a shown on the right page of FIG. 3 displays similar color information as information on the color sample 61 of the second similar color page 6b. The second similar color page 7b shown on the left page of FIG. 7 displays similar color information as information on the color sample 61 of the first similar color page 6a shown on the left page of FIG. 3. The mount 2 constituting the similar color page 7 has a plurality of windows 71 of approximately rectangular shape arranged in five columns and four columns, similar to the arrangement of the color sample page 6. Each window 71 is a hole formed by punching through the mount 2 in the thickness direction, and is slightly smaller in both length and width than the color sample 61, and has four arc-shaped corners. This window 71 is shared by the first similar color page 7a and the second similar color page 7b. The center of each window 71 (the point where the lines connecting the middle points of the sides intersect, hereinafter the same applies to the color sample 61) is at the same position as the center of each color sample 61 of the color sample page 6. When the backing 2 of the similar color page 7 is placed on the color sample page 6 as shown in Figures 3 and 7, the color sample 61 is positioned over the entirety of each window 71. In other words, the color sample 61 is displayed in the window 71. For ease of explanation, only a portion of the window 71, etc. are labeled with symbols in Figures 3, 6, and 7. Note that the information on the color sample 61 refers to various information that can be included in the catalog 1 regarding the color sample 61 (sample).

[0033] As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 5, product numbers 72 are displayed as information adjacent to the lower window portions 71 of the first similar color page 7a. The product numbers 72 are the product numbers of the color samples 61 located in the window portions 71 when the mount 2 of the first similar color page 7a is placed on the second color sample page 6b, and are the same as the product numbers 62 displayed on the color sample page 6. In addition, information is displayed in three vertical rows adjacent to the window portions 71 on the right outside of each window portion 71. The top row of these rows displays the Munsell value 73 as information, which is a numerical representation of the color divided into three attributes of hue, lightness, and saturation. For example, when the Munsell value 73 of the blue color sample 61 displayed on the second color sample page 6b is 6.8B6.1 / 7.5, this numerical value is displayed. The Munsell value 73 is displayed because the environment in which the catalog 1 is viewed is not necessarily constant and the brightness and color of the lighting (warm white or daylight white) may vary. This is because the appearance of the color of the same color sample 61 changes depending on the environment, and therefore the color can be grasped as an objective numerical value. Note that "adjacent" refers to a state in which it is possible to visually grasp which window 71 it is related to. For example, when displaying a product number 72 between two upper and lower window parts 71 as shown in Fig. 5, there are cases where the product number 72 is displayed closer to the target (upper) window part 71 than to the other (lower) window part 71. In addition, this is not limited to distance, and also includes cases where the product number 72 is displayed between two window parts 71, for example, by drawing a line between the product number 72 and the non-target window part 71 to emphasize that there is no relationship between them.

[0034] The color displayed in the middle is the JPMA approximate color number 74 as approximate color information. JPMA is an abbreviation for the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association, and the color sample book of standard paint colors issued by the association is widely used. Specifically, the number of the standard paint color that is approximate to the color sample 61 located in the window 71 among the standard paint colors issued by the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association is set as the JPMA approximate color number 74. The selection of the approximate color is performed in the following manner. First, a color that is visually approximate to the target color sample 61 is selected from the standard paint colors. Next, the Munsell value of the selected color is measured, and if the measurement result also indicates that the color is approximate to the target color sample 61, it is specified as the approximate color. The number of the standard paint color that is approximate to the blue color sample 61 with a Munsell value 73 of 6.8B6.1 / 7.5 mentioned above is 65-60P, and this number is displayed as the JPMA approximate color number 74.

[0035] Furthermore, the DIC approximate color number 75 is listed in the lower part as approximate color information. Specifically, among the colors listed in the color sample book (DIC Color Guide) published by DIC Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "DIC listed colors"), the number of the DIC listed color that is approximate to the color sample 61 located in the window part 71 is set as the DIC approximate color number 75. This approximate color is also a color that is identified by visually selecting an approximate color from the DIC listed colors for the target color sample 61 and measuring the Munsell value. The number of the DIC listed color that is approximate to the blue color sample 61 with the Munsell value 73 of 6.8B6.1 / 7.5 mentioned above is DIC100, and this number is displayed as the DIC approximate color number 75. Note that there is no corresponding JTC approximate color number 74 or DIC approximate color number 75 among the multiple color samples 61 displayed on the color sample page 6, in other words, there are cases where it is not appropriate to use the closest color as an approximate color. In this case, the relevant section is left blank, as shown in the second row from the top in Figure 5.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 7, the second similar color page 7b is similar to the first similar color page 7a, except that information is displayed vertically in three rows adjacent to the left of each window 71. Next, a method for determining the approximate color of color sample 61 using catalog 1 will be described.

[0037] First, the first color sample page 6a will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the user turns over the mount 2 of the catalog 1 to open the first color sample page 6a. In this state, the first color sample page 6a is on the left page, and the first similar color page 7a is on the right page. Then, assume that the user focuses on a specific color sample 61 from among the color samples 61 on the first color sample page 6a. In order to grasp the similar color of this color sample 61, the user turns over the mount 2 of the similar color page 7 from right to left as shown in FIG. 6, and places the mount 2 of the second similar color page 7b on top of the first color sample page 6a as shown in FIG. 7.

[0038] Then, the color sample 61 of the first color sample page 6a is located in each window 71 of the second similar color page 7b. The user can visually recognize the color sample 61 of the first color sample page 6a through the window 71 of the second similar color page 7b. In addition, the corresponding product number 72 is displayed below the window 71 in which the color sample 61 is located. Therefore, even if there are multiple color samples 61 with similar hues, the user can identify the desired color sample 61 through the window 71 using the product number 72 displayed on the second similar color page 7b as a clue.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 7, the Munsell value 73, JP Paint approximate color number 74, and DIC approximate color number 75 of the target color sample 61 are displayed to the left of the window 71 in which the target color sample 61 is located. This allows the user to visually recognize the target color sample 61 while grasping its Munsell value and approximate color information. As shown in FIG. 5, the first approximate color page 7a corresponding to the color sample 61 in the second row from the top of the leftmost row of the second color sample page 6b has information on the upper and middle rows to the right of the window 71, but does not display information on the lower row. In this case, the user can grasp that the color sample 61 has an approximate color in the JP Paint standard colors, but not in the DIC published colors.

[0040] Next, the second color sample page 6b will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the user turns over the mount 2 of the catalog 1 to open the second color sample page 6b. In this state, the second color sample page 6b is on the right page, and the second similar color page 7b is on the left page. Then, the user focuses on a specific color sample 61 from among the multiple color samples 61 displayed on the second color sample page 6b. In order to grasp the similar color of this color sample 61, the user turns over the mount 2 of the similar color page 7 from left to right as shown in FIG. 6, and places the mount 2 of the first similar color page 7a on the second color sample page 6b as shown in FIG. 3. Then, the user can visually confirm the color sample 61 of the second color sample page 6b through the window portion 71 of the first similar color page 7a. To the right of the window 71 in which the color sample 61 is located, the Munsell value 73, Nippon Paint Corporation approximate color number 74, and DIC approximate color number 75 of each color sample 61 are displayed, so that the desired Munsell value and approximate color can be grasped.

[0041] According to catalog 1 of the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) In the above embodiment, the mount 2 of the similar color page 7 has a window 71, and the color sample 61 is positioned in the window 71 when the mount 2 of the similar color page 7 is placed on the color sample page 6. In addition, the Munsell value 73, the Japan Paint Company similar color number 74, and the DIC similar color number 75 of the color of the color sample 61 located in each window 71 are displayed on the left or right outside of each window 71. For this reason, it is possible to easily grasp the approximate color of the color sample 61 without making the color sample 61 displayed on the color sample page 6 smaller.

[0042] (2) The Munsell value 73, the Japan Paint Association approximate color number 74, and the DIC approximate color number 75 are displayed adjacent to the window portion 71 on the left or right side of the outside of the window portion 71. Therefore, the color sample 61 can be grasped from the window portion 71, and the Munsell value 73, the Japan Paint Association approximate color number 74, and the DIC approximate color number 75 can also be grasped.

[0043] (3) Since a product number 72 is displayed adjacent to each window portion 71, the product number 72 can be used as a clue to identify the approximate JTC color or DIC color, making it easy to identify the desired color sample 61 even when there are colors of similar hue.

[0044] (4) The window portion 71 is a hole formed by punching through the backing sheet 2. Therefore, the window portion 71 can be easily formed. (5) Furthermore, two similar color pages 7 are formed on both sides of a single mount 2, and the window portion 71 is shared by the two similar color pages 7 on both sides. Therefore, it is not necessary to form the window portion 71 for each page.

[0045] (6) The similar color pages 7 are composed of a first similar color page 7a and a second similar color page 7b on both sides of a single mount 2, and the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b are arranged as the previous and next pages. Therefore, two similar color pages 7 corresponding to the two color sample pages 6 can be composed of a single mount 2.

[0046] (7) The similar color page 7 is formed on the cardboard mount 2, and is therefore opaque except for the window portion 71. Therefore, the color sample 61 is displayed only in the window portion 71, and the color sample 61 located in the window portion 71 can be more clearly seen.

[0047] (8) The color of the paper surface of the similar color page 7 is set to N-8.88 in Munsell value, and the preferable range is N-8.0 to N-9.5. Therefore, the color of the color sample 61 located in the window 71 of the similar color page 7 can be easily grasped.

[0048] The above embodiment may be modified as follows. The approximate color information covers the standard paint colors published by the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association and the colors published in the color sample book (DIC Color Guide) published by DIC Corporation, but color information published by other organizations or companies may be displayed instead of or in addition to this.

[0049] The color sample 61 shown in Catalog 1 is a decorative sheet, but other materials may also be used. The display position of each piece of information such as the Munsell value 73, the Japan Paint Company approximate color number 74, and the DIC approximate color number 75 displayed on the approximate color page 7 relative to the window 71 may be changed. In this case, if it is outside the window 71, it can be positioned above, below, to the left or right of the window 71. In addition, it is preferable to display this information adjacent to the window 71.

[0050] The window portion 71 may be formed by attaching a transparent sheet to a hole formed in the mount 2. In this case, the window portion 71 is not a through hole because the transparent sheet is positioned therein, and therefore information such as approximate color information may be displayed on the transparent sheet inside the window portion 71.

[0051] Although the mount 2 is opaque cardboard, other materials may be used, for example, a resin sheet may be used as the mount 2. In this case, to make the approximate color page 7, an opaque material may be used as the resin sheet and the window portion 71 may be formed by punching, or a colorless and transparent material may be used as the resin sheet and the area other than the window portion 71 or the area around the window portion 71 may be colored. In this case, information may be displayed on the resin sheet that will be inside the window portion 71.

[0052] The color sample pages 6 are formed on one side of each of the two mounts 2 for a total of two pages, but one page or three or more pages may be used. The mount 2 on which the similar color page 7 is formed is bound with the twin ring 3, but the mount 2 may be detachable from the catalog 1. Also, the mount 2 with the similar color page 7 does not have to be bound to the catalog 1. For example, a pocket may be provided in the inside back of the cover of the catalog 1, and the mount 2 with the similar color page 7 may be inserted into this pocket, which may be removed as necessary and the mount 2 may be placed on the color sample page 6.

[0053] The color of the paper on page 7 is set to N-8.88 in Munsell value, and the preferred range is N-8.0 to N-9.5, but this may be changed to any other color. In the above embodiment, the similar color information of the color sample 61 is targeted as the similar color page 7, but other information may be displayed. For example, for the pattern sample 51 of the pattern sample page 5 shown in FIG. 2, a window 71 is formed in the mount 2 (not shown) serving as an information sheet to match the pattern sample 51, as in the similar color page 7. Then, the product number of a wallpaper having the same pattern as the pattern sample 51 or the product number of a large-sized tile having the same pattern may be displayed as information on the outside or inside of the window 71 of the mount 2. This is useful when a decorative sheet of the pattern sample 51 is pasted on an elevator door, and wallpaper with the same pattern is pasted on the wall of a building located adjacent to it to match the two patterns. In this case, the pattern sample page 5 becomes the sample page, and the pattern sample 51 becomes the sample. It is also preferable to display this information adjacent to the window 71.

[0054] Furthermore, when the pattern sample 51 on the pattern sample page 5 uses a specific material or depicts a specific material, that information may be displayed. For example, information such as the material, place of origin, composition, etc. of the pattern sample 51 on the pattern sample page 5 or the material, place of origin, composition, etc. that the pattern sample depicts may be displayed outside or inside the window 71 of the mount 2. In addition, it is preferable to display this information adjacent to the window 71.

[0055] The above modifications may be combined. Next, the technical ideas that can be understood from the above-described embodiment and other examples will be described below together with their effects.
