Definitions

  • Pattern forms of fixed sizes have a major drawback in that they do not allow for any adjustability in the size of a garment to be made from the fabric which is mounted on a pattern form.
  • the reason for this is that the pattern form may be of the right size in the bust area but not the correct size in the hip and waist areas. This will require many changes in stitching of the garment along various seamlines, all of which requires considerable time and effort to complete. Even when a garment is finally finished, the garment still may not fit correctly because each of the many changes to one part of the garment must be made with changes to other parts of the garment taken into consideration.
  • fixed pattern forms are not suitable for making garments for persons who differ even slightly in size and shape to the pattern form on which the garment is to be made.
  • Adjustable pattern forms have also been used considerably in the past. But, notwithstanding their adjustability, they still do not permit a garment to be mace in a manner which requires few or no changes in the garment to fit the person.
  • the reason for this is that adjustable pattern forms have a multitude of segmented body parts which are shiftably mounted on an upright stand and, as a unit, have outer surfaces which simulate the single, unitary body of a fixed pattern form except for the fact that the segmented body parts can be shifted about relative to each other for adjustment purposes.
  • the various positions into which the body parts can be shifted must be eyeballed in such a way that the resulting size and shape of the pattern form must appear to look like the size and shape of the body of the person for whom the garment is to be made.
  • the present invention fills the aforesaid need by providing an improved pattern form which is adjustable in a number of locations in a manner to simulate the actual measurements of the person for whom a garment is made.
  • the pattern form of .the present invention has adjustable members in four locations, namely the neck and shoulder region, the bust region, the waist region and the hip region. These members are mounted on an upright post and adjustments to the members can be made quickly and easily after measurements of the person have been taken with a tape measure.
  • pattern elements of a suitable, relatively self-sustaining material are mounted on the adjustable members secured to the post. This is done after the adjustable members have been properly adjusted on the post to the size of the person for whom a garment is to be made.
  • the pattarn elements represent a bodice, a skirt and optionally a pair of sleeves, and these pattern elements -are mounted on the adjustable members, the skirt and sleeves being secured in any suitable manner, such as by snaps, Velcro, zippers or the like to the bodice.
  • These pattern elements when mounted on the adjustable members on the post, provide backing surfaces on which conventional tissue paper patterns are pinned or otherwise attached for actually-making a garment from the pattern form itself.
  • Preferred material for the pattern elements is pellon because it is washable, can be pressed, and is non-shrinkable. Even if it is crushed during storage, it can be pressed with a steam iron to remove the creases from it.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved pattern form for making garments wherein the pattern form has a number of adjustable members presenting the neck and shoulder region, the bust region, the waist region and the hip region of a person for whom a garment is made so that, by first adjusting the members and then placing adjustable, pattern elements, such as a bodice, a skirt, and sleeves, on the adjustable members, a pattern form is constructed which truly represents in size and shape the actual body of the person for whom a garment is to be made.
  • Pattern form 10 is broadly denoted by the numeral 10 and is shown in Fig. 6.
  • Pattern form 10 includes an interior structure 12 shown in more detail in Figs. 1-5 and an exterior structure 14 which includes a skirt 16, a bodice 18 and, optionally sleeves 20 (Figs. 7-9).
  • the sleeves are shown as being long sleeves; however, they can be relatively short or omitted, if desired.
  • Fig. 8 shows a number of snap fasteners 22 which are used to secure the upper ends of sleeves 20 to bodice element 18 at the sleeve openings 24 thereof. Other fastening means could be used, if desired.
  • the bodice element 18 is also provided with a neck portion 26; however, this neck portion can be omitted, if desired.
  • skirt, bodice and sleeve elements provide the backing on which conventional garment patterns of tissue paper are to be mounted in making a garment.
  • the tissue paper patterns can be pinned or otherwise attached to the outer surfaces of the pattern elements 16, 18 and 20 after the elements have been adjustably mounted on the inner structure which will be hereinafter described in detail.
  • a typical set of pattern elements 16, 18 and 20 will typically be selected for a particular person although it is possible that such pattern elements 16, 18 and 20 can be re-adjusted to represent the body of a second person.
  • the pattern elements 16, 18 and 20 will be provided in various standard sizes in carrying out the teachings of the present invention. For a specific person, the standard size closest to the person's measurements will be selected for use in making pattern form 10.
  • the inner structure 12, shown in Fig. 1, defines the support for pattern elements 16 and 18.
  • Structure 12 includes an upright post 25 mounted on a base 27.
  • the post can be made up of several segments which can be telescoped to permit the post to be collapsed to reduce it length or expanded to increase its length. Any suitable structure for changing the length of the posts is within the scope of the present >invention.
  • base 27 is separable from the bottom end of the post to simplify packaging and shipment.
  • Structure 12 has four adjustable members 30, 32, 34 and 36.
  • Member 30 is adapted to provide the support for the neck and shoulder portions of bodice element 18.
  • Member 30 is adjustable in shoulder length and in the angle of the shoulder with respect to the horizontal. The detail of member 30 is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • Member 30 includes a rigid sheet-like plastic body 30a which is shaped and formed to present a first, front segment 31, a rear segment 33, and a top segment 35. Segments 31 and 33 are slightly convex at their outer surfaces whereas segment 35 is substantially flat.
  • a pair of side recesses 36 are provided in body 30a of member 30, and a pair of first, oval-shaped elements 37 are hingedly mounted by hinges 37a to body 30a at the side margins thereof within the recesses 36.
  • the hinge axes are generally horizontal so that elements 37 can move up and down.
  • An extension element 38 is adjustably mounted each oval element 37, respectively, and each extension element 38 has a generally convex outer surface.
  • each extension element 38 overlaps the adjacent oval element 37 and has a slot 39 which is open at its inner end.
  • Each slot is adapted to receive a screw 40 having a head 41 and being coupled to a wing nut 42, whereby each extension element 38 can be adjustably mounted on the adjacent oval element 37 to thereby vary the length of the shoulder portion of member 30.
  • the angle of droop of oval elements 37 can be varied by adjusting a pair of screws 44 which are threadably carried at the outer ends of a pair of side posts 46, the posts being secured at their inner ends to a tube 48 which is adjustably mounted by a set screw 50 on the upper end 52 of post 25. Screws 44 are inclined as shown in Fig. 1 to accommodate the slope of the lower surfaces of oval elements 37.
  • Body 30a can be adjusted for forward or rearward tilt by providing a pivotal shaft 52 at the upper end of tube 48.
  • the pivotal shaft 52 mounts a pair of ears 54 secured to and extending downwardly from the inner surface of top segment 35 of body 30a.
  • a set screw 56 adjustably positions body 30a with reference to the axis of shaft 52.
  • adjustment of the forward or rearward tilt of body 30a can be in the direction of arrows 58 (Fig. 2a).
  • a neck element 60 (Fig. 1) can be provided on body 30a, if desired.
  • Neck element 60 includes a circular flange 62 secured to the lower end of a sheet-like,' generally flexible part 64 which can be placed in a cylindrical shape with the ends of part 64 overlapping each other.
  • Flange 62 can be secured by Velcro strips 66 and 68 to the front and rear segments 31 and 33 of body 30a.
  • the overlapping ends of parts 64 can be provided with.adjustment lines therein for different neck sizes. In this way, the styling of the collar can be shaped and the garment can have a neck opening which is of any desired size.
  • the bust member 32 is comprised of a pair of cup-shaped elements 70 secured to the outer ends of rods 72 adjustably secured in tubes 74 by set screws 75a.
  • Each rod 72 may be provided with a calibrated scale on the underside thereof to allow for adjustment. This scale can be seen through a longitudinal slot in the underside of the adjacent tube 74.
  • Tubes 74 are adjustably mounted on the outer ends of respective shafts 75 by set screws 76.
  • Shafts 75 are secured to the opposite sides of a short tube 77 having a set screw 78 releasably securing it to post 25.
  • each cup shaped element 70 can be adjusted by changing its fore and aft position, by changing its lateral spacing from post 25, and by changing its angle above and below a horizontal plane through shafts 75. Also, the height of cup shaped elements 70 can be adjusted by adjusting :he position of short tube 77 along length of pose 25.
  • Waist member 34 is of substantially the same construction as hip member 36 except that waist member 34 has a smaller circumference than member 36. Thus, a description of member 36 will suffice for the description of member 34.
  • Member 36 includes a pair of front and rear strips 80 and 82 and a pair of curved side strips 84 and 86. Strips 80 and 82 are secured at their center portions to relatively short tubes 88 and 90, these tubes being shiftably mounted on shafts 92 and 94 projecting'forwardly and rearwardly from a short tube 96 adjustably mounted by a set screw 98 on post 25. Set screws 87 releasably secure tubes 88 and 90 to shafts 92 and 94.
  • Each of members 34 and 36 can, therefore, be adjusted in a number of different directions.
  • hip member 36 can be adjusted to increase or decrease the circumference by changing the positions of tubes 88 and 90 along shafts 92 and 94 and by changing the positions of tubes 100 and 102 along shafts 104 and 106.
  • the height of member 36 can be adjusted by changing the position of tube 96 along the length of post 25.
  • Member 34 can be adjusted in the same way as member 36.
  • the material used for pattern elements 16, 18 and 20 can be of any suitable, self-sustaining, generally rigid material.
  • a suitable material for this purpose is pellon which is available commercially. This material is washable, can be pressed, and is non-shrinkable. It can be stitched on a seam line with a domestic sewing machine. It is also crushable when stored, but the creases caused by crushing can be pressed out with a steam iron.
  • the pellon material can be handled in a manner such that, when pattern elements 18, 20 and 22 are supplied in kit form, such elements can be in standard sizes to facilitate the formation of pattern form 10.
  • inner structure 12 is erected and members 30, 32 and 34 and 36 are adjusted for neck size and shape, shoulder size and shape, bust size and shape, waist size and shape, and hip size and shape.
  • Members 30, 32, 34 and 36 are all adjusted along the length of post 25 as to the height of a person for whom pattern form 10 is to be made and used.
  • pattern elements 16 and 18 are then placed on such members to present pattern form 10 as shown in Fig. 6.
  • the skirt element is releasably coupled to the bodice element.
  • the present invention provides an improvement over garment pattern forms of conventional construction and allows a garment to be made quickly and easily yet the garment will truly represent the actual measurements of the body of the person over a long period of time and such measurements can be easily changed as the body of the person increases or decreases in size.
