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 is sometimes 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 times when it is desired to match the color of this decorative sheet with other components. For example, there are times when it is desired to match the color of a door with the color of the decorative sheet on the wall. Also, there are times when, due to interior renovations, it is desired to replace a wall surface that has previously been painted with paint with a decorative sheet of the same color. Note that decorative sheets are decorative sheets that are attached to indoor and outdoor walls, fittings, furniture, etc. Decorative sheets are also sometimes called adhesive decorative films, architectural decorative films, etc.

[0004] To meet these needs, color samples in a catalog may be labeled with an approximate color number that is close to the color of the color sample. This approximate color is a color from a color sample book published by an organization or company (for example, the standard paint colors published by the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association) that is close to the color of the decorative sheet color sample. Furthermore, the approximate color number is a color number from the same sample book that is close to the color sample of the decorative sheet. For example, if a user wants to use a decorative sheet instead of a paint, they can select a decorative sheet with a color sample that displays the color number of the paint they had been using as the approximate color number, allowing them to achieve an approximate color even when switching from paint to 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 up to 11 columns and 6 columns on one page, and each color sample is a rectangle measuring 1.4 cm in height and 2.8 cm in width.

[0006] In this case, if the product number and 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 have to 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 one page of the catalog is increased, the color sample can remain the same size, but this would reduce the number of color samples displayed per page, which would increase 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 simplified mark for each color sample in one line. On the other hand, the approximate color number is not displayed on the color sample page, and a correspondence table between the product number and the approximate color number 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 similar color numbers are listed in a separate volume, users 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 a cumbersome process. 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 for 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 object, a catalog having a sample page displaying a plurality of samples has an information sheet displaying information about the samples displayed on the sample page, the information sheet having a window portion, the information sheet being capable of being placed over the sample page or not over the sample page, the sample on the sample page being positioned in the window portion of the information sheet in the overlaid state, and the information sheet displaying information about the sample located in the window portion outside or inside the window portion.

[0013] The sample page and the information sheet are bound in a single-sided binding. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, it becomes easy to understand the information of samples displayed in a catalog. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0016] An embodiment of the present invention embodied in a decorative sheet catalog 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. About Catalog 1 The catalog 1 of this embodiment is 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 each mount 2 has two pages because it has pages 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.

[0017] As shown in Figure 1, the table of contents page 4 is the page where the table of contents (INDEX) is displayed, 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. Samples, specimens, etc., pasted on the backing 2 are also referred to as "display," and the state in which color samples, etc., located through holes, cutouts, etc., formed in the backing 2 can also be referred to as "display."

[0018] Pattern sample page 5 shown in Figure 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 Figure 2), marble patterns, leather patterns, metallic patterns, geometric patterns (right page of Figure 2), fabric patterns, Japanese patterns, etc. Note that the same pattern may be available in multiple colors, and in such cases, pattern samples 51 including different colors are displayed on pattern sample page 5.

[0019] The color sample page 6 shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7 is a page following the pattern sample page 5 in catalog 1, and is a page that displays a plain, single-color 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 serves as the sample.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Guide page 8 shown in Fig. 4 is located at the end of catalog 1, as shown on the right page of Fig. 4, and is a page that lists guide information such as contact information for confirming the products displayed in the catalog and for purchasing (addresses and telephone numbers of showrooms, branch offices, etc.) In addition to these, catalog 1 also contains image pages, as shown on the left page of Fig. 4, that display photos of model rooms equipped with decorative sheets featured in catalog 1 and furniture that matches the patterns and colors of these sheets, but explanations of these other pages will be omitted.

[0022] The mounts 2 are made of opaque cardboard, and each mount 2 has the same vertical dimensions as an A4 sheet of paper in portrait orientation (297mm vertical x 210mm wide), but is approximately 15mm wider. Each mount 2 has multiple rectangular binding holes 21 formed along one long edge, and the mounts 2 are bound by twin rings 3 through the binding holes 21. In addition, a rectangular protruding index 22 is formed on part of the height direction of the long edge of the mount 2 opposite the binding holes 21. The vertical position of the index 22 formed on each mount 2 varies depending on the mount 2, and when bound, the index 22 on each mount 2 is positioned so that they do not completely overlap. Note that some mounts 2 in Catalog 1 do not have indexes 22.

[0023] About pattern sample page 5 and color sample page 6 As shown in Figure 2, the individual sizes of the pattern samples 51 displayed on the pattern sample page 5 are not necessarily constant. For example, some patterns (such as fine wood grain patterns) can be adequately grasped even at small sizes, while other patterns (such as large wood grain patterns) are best grasped at large sizes. Furthermore, as shown on the right page of Figure 2, even for the same type of pattern sample 51, specifically geometric patterns, published on the same page, the sizes of the pattern samples 51 may differ from a design perspective or the like. The pattern samples 51 used on the pattern sample page 5 are actual decorative sheets cut to a predetermined size and attached to the mount 2 with adhesive.

[0024] As shown in Figure 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 associated with the pattern sample 51, and is composed of a string of letters and numbers, such as "AB1234." Also, 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 associated with the pattern sample 51 is weather-resistant and can be used outdoors, while another mark 53 indicates that additional installation precautions should be checked when installing the decorative sheet.

[0025] 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 displaying a dark-colored pattern sample 51 has a white background, while a pattern sample page 5 displaying a light-colored pattern sample 51 has a black background, 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, which improves visibility.

[0026] As shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, catalog 1 contains two color sample pages 6, which are located on the left and right pages when catalog 1 is open. Of the color sample pages 6, the one on the left page in Figure 3 is referred to as the first color sample page 6a. The one on the right page in Figure 7 is referred to as the second color sample page 6b. When a term 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.

[0027] As shown in Figures 3 and 7, the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b each have a maximum of five vertical columns and four horizontal columns of color samples 61. While Non-Patent Document 1 has 11 vertical columns and six horizontal columns of color samples, this embodiment reduces the number of vertical and horizontal columns per page. This is merely for convenience, such as displaying the color samples 61, etc., larger to make them easier to understand in the drawings. Each color sample 61 displayed on the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b is a different color. For ease of explanation, only some of the color samples 61, etc. are labeled in Figures 3, 6, and 7. Each color sample 61 is an actual decorative sheet cut into a rectangular shape of a certain size and attached to the mount 2 with an adhesive in a landscape orientation. Although there are no particular rules for the arrangement of each color sample 61 on the color sample page 6, the color samples 61 are often arranged and numbered according to hue, and it is easier to compare colors when colors with similar hues are arranged close together. 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 five vertical columns and four horizontal columns) are positions that are symmetrical about the center of the twin ring 3. However, depending on the number and color of the color samples 61, some vertical or horizontal columns on each color sample page 6 may not have a color sample 61.

[0028] As shown in Figures 3 and 7, color sample page 6 displays the product number 62 of the decorative sheet corresponding to each color sample 61 below each color sample 61. This product number 62, like pattern sample page 5, is made up of a string of letters and numbers appropriately combined, such as "YZ3456." Also, like pattern sample page 5, a mark 63 is displayed following the product number 62. Furthermore, like pattern sample page 5, the product number 62 and mark 63 are located below each color sample 61 on color sample page 6.

[0029] Next, the similar color page 7 will be described. As shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the approximate color page 7 consists of two pages printed on both sides of a single sheet of paper 2. The page on the right in Figure 3 is referred to as the first approximate color page 7a. The page on the left in Figure 7 is referred to as the second approximate color page 7b. When a page is common to both the first approximate color page 7a and the second approximate color page 7b, it is collectively referred to as the approximate color page 7. The paper 2 that constitutes the approximate color page 7 is bound between the two color sample pages 6 and can be placed on top of each color sample page 6. The words "Approximate Color" are displayed above each approximate color page 7 to indicate to the user that the page is an approximate color page. The approximate color page 7 is gray. This gray, for example, has a Munsell value of N-8.88, with a preferred range of Munsell values ​​being N-8.0 to N-9.5. By using this range as the color of the approximate color page 7, the color of the color sample 61 can be clearly understood.

[0030] The first similar color page 7a shown on the right page of Figure 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 Figure 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 Figure 3. The mount 2 constituting the similar color page 7 has multiple, roughly rectangular windows 71 arranged in five columns and four rows, 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. Its length and width are slightly smaller than those of the color sample 61, and its four corners are arc-shaped. 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 centers of the sides intersect; the same applies to the color sample 61 hereinafter) is located at the same position as the center of each color sample 61 on the color sample page 6. When the mount 2 of the similar color page 7 is placed on top of 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 some of the window portions 71, etc. are labeled 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).

[0031] As shown in an enlarged view in Figure 5, product numbers 72 are displayed adjacent to the lower windows 71 of the first color approximation page 7a. These product numbers 72 are the product numbers of the color samples 61 that would be located in the windows 71 when the mount 2 of the first color approximation page 7a is placed on the second color sample page 6b. These product numbers 72 are the same as the product numbers 62 displayed on the color sample page 6. Additionally, information is displayed in three vertical rows adjacent to the right-hand window 71 outside each window 71. The top row displays the Munsell value 73, which is a numerical representation of the color divided into three attributes: hue, lightness, and saturation. For example, if 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 value is displayed. The Munsell value 73 is displayed because the environment in which catalog 1 is viewed is not necessarily constant and may vary in brightness and lighting color (incandescent white or daylight white). This is because the appearance of a color of the same color sample 61 changes depending on the environment, making it possible to grasp the color as an objective numerical value. Note that "adjacent" refers to a state in which it is possible to visually determine which window 71 it is associated with. For example, when displaying a product number 72 between two upper and lower window sections 71 as shown in Figure 5, the product number 72 may be displayed closer to the target (upper) window section 71 than to the other (lower) window section 71. It is also possible to display the product number 72 between two window sections 71 regardless of distance, for example, by drawing a line between the product number 72 and the non-target window section 71 to emphasize that there is no relationship between them.

[0032] The middle row shows the NIPPON Paint Association (Japan Paint Manufacturers Association) approximate color number 74, which serves as approximate color information. NIPPON Paint Association (Japan Paint Manufacturers Association) is an abbreviation for the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association, and the standard paint color swatches published by the association are widely used. Specifically, the number of the standard paint color that is approximate to the color swatch 61 located in the window 71 among the standard paint colors published by the Japan Paint Manufacturers Association is designated as the NIPPON Paint Association approximate color number 74. The approximate color is selected as follows: First, a color that visually approximates the target color swatch 61 is selected from the standard paint colors. Next, the Munsell value of the selected color is measured, and if the measurement results also indicate that it is an approximate color of the target color swatch 61, it is identified as the approximate color. The standard paint color number that approximates the blue color swatch 61, whose Munsell value 73 is 6.8B6.1 / 7.5, is 65-60P, and this number is displayed as the NIPPON Paint Association approximate color number 74.

[0033] Furthermore, the DIC approximate color number 75 is listed in the lower section as approximate color information. Specifically, among the colors listed in the color swatch book (DIC Color Guide) published by DIC Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "DIC listed colors"), the DIC approximate color number 75 is the number of the DIC listed color that is approximate to the color swatch 61 located in the window 71. This approximate color is also determined by visually selecting colors from the DIC listed colors that are approximate to the target color swatch 61 and then measuring the Munsell value. The DIC listed color number that is approximate to the blue color swatch 61, whose Munsell value 73 is 6.8B6.1 / 7.5, is DIC100, and this number is displayed as the DIC approximate color number 75. Note that among the multiple color swatches 61 listed on color swatch page 6, there is no corresponding JTC approximate color number 74 or DIC approximate color number 75. In other words, even if a color is the closest, it may not be appropriate to use it 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.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 7, the second approximate color page 7b is similar to the first approximate color page 7a, except that information is displayed in three vertical rows adjacent to the left window 71 of each window 71. Next, a method for determining the approximate color of color sample 61 using catalog 1 will be explained.

[0035] First, regarding the first color sample page 6a, as shown in FIG. 3, the user flips over the backing sheet 2 of the catalog 1 and opens 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, let's say the user focuses on a specific color sample 61 from the color samples 61 on the first color sample page 6a. In order to determine the similar color of this color sample 61, the user flips over the backing sheet 2 of the similar color page 7b from right to left as shown in FIG. 6, and places the backing sheet 2 of the second similar color page 7b on top of the first color sample page 6a as shown in FIG. 7.

[0036] As a result, a color sample 61 from the first color sample page 6a is located in each window 71 on the second approximate color page 7b. The user can visually recognize the color sample 61 from the first color sample page 6a through the window 71 on the second approximate 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 from the window 71 using the product number 72 displayed on the second approximate color page 7b as a clue.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 7, the Munsell value 73, JP Paint Company 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 where the target color sample 61 is located. This allows the user to visually identify 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, which corresponds to the color sample 61 in the second-to-top leftmost column of the second color sample page 6b, has information in the upper and middle rows to the right of the window 71, but not the lower row. In this case, the user can understand that the color sample 61 in question is approximated by JP Paint Company's standard paint colors, but not by DIC's published colors.

[0038] Next, regarding the second color sample page 6b, as shown in FIG. 7, the user flips over the backing 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. The user then focuses on a specific color sample 61 among the multiple color samples 61 displayed on the second color sample page 6b. To determine the similar color of this color sample 61, the user flips over the backing 2 of the similar color page 7a from left to right as shown in FIG. 6, and places the backing 2 of the first similar color page 7a on top of the second color sample page 6b as shown in FIG. 3. The user can then view the color sample 61 on the second color sample page 6b through the window 71 in the first similar color page 7a. To the right of the window 71 where 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.

[0039] According to the 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 Association similar color number 74, and the DIC similar color number 75 of the color of the color sample 61 positioned in each window 71 are displayed on the left or right outside each window 71. Therefore, it is possible to easily grasp the approximate color of the color sample 61 without having to make the color sample 61 displayed on the color sample page 6 smaller.

[0040] (2) The Munsell value 73, the JPMA color number 74, and the DIC color number 75 are displayed adjacent to the window 71 on the left or right side of the outside of the window 71. Therefore, the color sample 61 can be seen from the window 71, and the Munsell value 73, the JPMA color number 74, and the DIC color number 75 can also be seen.

[0041] (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 Nippon Paint approximate color or DIC approximate color, making it easy to identify the desired color sample 61 even when there are colors with similar hues.

[0042] (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 pages of similar color pages 7 are formed on both sides of one mount 2, and the window portion 71 is shared by the two pages of similar color pages 7 on both sides. Therefore, it is not necessary to form a window portion 71 for each page.

[0043] (6) The similar color pages 7 are configured as a first similar color page 7a and a second similar color page 7b on both sides of a single mount 2, with the first color sample page 6a and the second color sample page 6b arranged as the previous and next pages. Therefore, two similar color pages 7 corresponding to the two color sample pages 6 can be configured on a single mount 2.

[0044] (7) The similar color page 7 is formed on a cardboard mount 2, and is 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.

[0045] (8) The color of the paper surface of the approximate color page 7 is set to N-8.88 in Munsell value, with a preferred range of N-8.0 to N-9.5. This allows the color of the color sample 61 located in the window 71 of the approximate color page 7 to be clearly understood.

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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 JPMA 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. It is also preferable to display this information adjacent to the window 71.

[0048] The window portion 71 may be formed by pasting a transparent sheet in a hole formed in the mount 2. In this case, the window portion 71 is no longer a through hole because the transparent sheet is positioned therein, and information such as approximate color information may be displayed on the transparent sheet inside the window portion 71.

[0049] Although the mount 2 is made of opaque cardboard, other materials may be used; for example, a resin sheet may be used as the mount 2. In this case, to create a similar color page 7, an opaque material may be used as the resin sheet and the window 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 71 or the area around the window 71 may be colored. In this case, information may also be displayed on the resin sheet that will be inside the window 71.

[0050] The color sample pages 6 are formed on one side of each of two sheets of mount paper 2, making a total of two pages, but it may be one page or three or more pages. The mount 2 on which the similar color page 7 is formed is bound to 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 on 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 can be removed as needed and the mount 2 may be placed on top of the color sample page 6.

[0051] The color of the paper on page 7 is set to N-8.88 in Munsell values, with a preferred range of N-8.0 to N-9.5, but this may be changed to any other color. In the above embodiment, the similar color page 7 was intended to be the similar color information of the color sample 61, but other information may also be displayed. For example, for the pattern sample 51 on the pattern sample page 5 shown in FIG. 2 , a window 71 is formed in the mount 2 (not shown) that serves as an information sheet to match the pattern sample 51, as in the similar color page 7. Information such as the product number of wallpaper with the same pattern as the pattern sample 51 or the product number of a large tile with the same pattern may be displayed on or inside the window 71 in the mount 2. This is useful, for example, when attaching a decorative sheet of the pattern sample 51 to an elevator door and then attaching wallpaper with the same pattern to the wall of an adjacent building to match the two patterns. In this case, the pattern sample page 5 serves as the sample page, and the pattern sample 51 serves as the sample. It is also preferable to display this information adjacent to the window 71.

[0052] Furthermore, if 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, origin, composition, etc. of the pattern sample 51 on the pattern sample page 5 or the material, origin, composition, etc. that the pattern sample depicts may be displayed outside or inside the window 71 of the mount 2. It is also preferable to display this information adjacent to the window 71.
