Display rack and color selection assembly

Abstract

Abstract A display rack and color selector assembly adapted to present to a homeowner a group of sample boards carrying actual roof shingles in a variety of colors and to afford a visual picture of a typical home whose architectural style is similar to that of the homeowner, the roof of the pictured home being selectively covered by a shingled surface in any one of the sample colors. The color selector includes a front panel on whose face is a radial array of pictures of typical homes in different architectural style, the roof in each picture being notched out to define a window whose geometry matches that of the roof. Mounted behind the panel is a rotatable color wheel which is divided into segments each having a shingled surface whose color corresponds to that of a respective sample in the group. The homeowner, while inspecting a pictured home on the panel face which is similar in style to that of his own, can then turn the color wheel to dial the segments thereof into registration with the roof window and thereby see how the pictured home looks when its roof is covered with shingles in any one of the sample colors. In this way the homeowner can decide which of these colored shingles is suitable to replace the worn shingles on the roof of his home.
