Abstract A circular semi-rigid plastic base is molded to provide a horizontal, cylindrically bottom-flanged panel having an annular series of equally spaced circular, hollow well cavities or indentations, each removably receiving a shallow-walled, telescopingly mated plastic pigment-containing pot. The pots are side-flanged for ready manual grasping in their removal from and replacement in the respective indentations. A snap-on type cover of a clear, semi-rigid plastic has a top circular panel and a cylindrical depending flange nesting over the flange of the base; and the cover is thus flange-guided for manual rotation upon the base. This permits a user to effect optional angularly adjusted relationships of certain opaque reference and selector indicia, as inscribed on the transparent cover panel, to color pots viewed in juxtaposition beneath a cover panel indicium. Radial indents on the cover and base flanges facilitate separation of the cover from the base, and the base from a bottom finishing and rigidifying disc of cardboard.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A color pigment paint teaching set comprising a base providing a mount for a circular planar array of equi-angularly spaced flat-bottomed recesses, said recesses removably receiving pots containing pigments of progressively differing color, a cover providing a transparent panel portion mounted for rotative adjustment above and relative to said base in a plane paralleling that of said pots, the base and cover having mating cylindrical flange surfaces and snap-on mating groove and bead formations on said surfaces at which their relative rotation is guided and separation thereof is yieldably restrained, said cover panel portion being light transmissive and provided with sets of distinctively and differently lined visible selector indicia viewable from above in juxtaposition relative to the differently colored pigments of said pots.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A color pigment paint teaching set comprising a base providing a mount for a circular planar array of equi-angularly spaced flat-bottomed recesses, said recesses removably receiving pots containing pigments of progressively differing color, a cover providing a transparent panel portion mounted for rotative adjustment above and relative to said base in a plane paralleling that of said pots, the base and cover having mating cylindrical flange surfaces and snap-on mating groove and bead formations on said surfaces at which their relative rotation is guided and separation thereof is yieldably restrained, said cover panel portion being light transmissive and provided with sets of distinctively and differently lined visible selector indicia viewable from above in juxtaposition relative to the differently colored pigments of said pots.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The set of claim 1, in which at least one of said cylinDrical flange surfaces has a formation to assist in separation of the cover and base from one another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The set of claim 1, in which said base bottoms in relation to a closure disc restrained within the flange surface of the base.
