ABSTRACT:
A method and device are provided for mounting carpet or other floating samples, which are quadrate in configuration and relatively planar and stiff. Each sample is mounted so that first and second side right angled edges intersect at the lowest point of the sample, forming a downwardly facing V. Each of the first and second side edges makes an angle of between about 30-60 degrees with respect to a vertical line, with the sample face outward, the angle preferably being 45 degrees. The diagonal of each sample slopes downwardly from left to right. The samples are preferably mounted in groups, the samples in each group having the same color and preferably also the same shade, with only the top edges and a portion of the face of the samples in each group aside from the outward sample, being visible. The groups are mounted in a number of rows and columns closely positioned with respect to each other so that all of the groups of samples, except those in the bottom row and the right side edge, are visible as squares with an apparently vertical diagonal. The samples are mounted by supporting them at their first and second edges, and so that the carpet face of each is in a vertical plane. A plurality of individual mounting devices are connected together by a frame, each individual mounting device comprising an integral piece of plastic having a planar surface with first and second intersecting right angle edges, and a number of overlapping open top channels at each of the intersecting edges.
