Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a measuring device for dressmaking that measures chest length, back length, and chest circumference.

Measuring for custom clothing is currently done by applying a horizontal or vertical ruler to the customer's measurement point and reading the scale, but this often relies on the experience and intuition of the measurer, and is easily done by an amateur. Unable to take accurate measurements.

Particularly in recent years, with the adoption of computer ordering systems, accurate measurements are required.

Moreover, in order to make full use of computers, it is necessary to collect and input data at the same speed as the computer.

Computer ordering systems make it possible to make custom-made clothes cheaply and quickly, but it goes without saying that measurements are the basis for making clothes that suit your body type.

However, the body of the person to be measured (customer) is an unstable moving body, and the human body is different.
Some people have quite irregular body shapes, such as heart-shaped chest and slumped shoulders.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a measuring device that completely understands the body shape of the person wearing the clothes (customer) and allows even a complete amateur to easily and accurately measure the unbalanced body shape without relying on experience or intuition.

Recently, a measuring device as shown in FIG. 1 has been considered to meet this need.

In other words, two armpit fixing devices a are used to measure chest height and back length by inserting the armpit-contacting side under both armpits of the customer, and the two armpit fixing devices a are passed over both armpit fixing devices a. A metal rod (not shown) is placed on the armpit fixing device a inserted into the left and right armpits, and the metal rod is used to measure the distance between chest height and back height. The starting point and ending point of

However, with this measuring device, when first measuring the chest length by inserting armpit fixing device a under both armpits of the customer, place the metal rod on the front end of armpit fixing device a in front of the customer. Measure the chest length using the metal rod as the starting and ending points. When measuring the back height, place the metal rod behind the customer and place it on the rear end of the armpit fixing device a, then use the tape measure to measure the metal rod. In order to measure the height as a starting point, it is necessary to replace the metal rod with the front and back of the customer each time the chest length and back length are measured, which is cumbersome to operate, and the armpit fixing device a is clamped under the customer's armpit. Since the armpit fixing device a is held only by the customer, the customer is forced to prevent the armpit fixing device a from falling, which causes a problem in that the natural body collapses and an error occurs in the measurement value.

The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a measuring device for dressmaking that can easily determine measurement points and quickly obtain accurate measurements. Each of the underarm fixing devices is composed of one belt, and has a shoulder rest portion projecting upward, and the upper surface on the rear end side of the shoulder rest portion is made horizontal to serve as an underarm contact surface, A level is attached to the front end side of the shoulder rest to level the armpit contact surface, and a level is installed on the side surface below the armpit contact surface in the front-rear direction so as to be parallel to the armpit contact surface. A through-hole is provided so that the through-hole extends through the belt so that the width direction of the belt is up and down. It is strong enough to be bent in the thickness direction, and the entire body is a tape measure for measuring chest circumference.Furthermore, by tightening the belt and joining both ends together, it is possible to attach the underarm fixing device. In order to hold the belt so that it does not fall, a joining stopper is provided at both ends of the belt, and the belt is removably and slidably passed through the through holes of each underarm fixing member in the front and back direction, and the upper end of the belt is attached. It is characterized in that the sides serve as the starting and ending measurement points for determining the distances of chest height and back height.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 2, there are two armpit fixing devices 1 each having a shoulder rest 2 projecting upward and an armpit contact surface 3 on the upper surface of the rear end, and a leveling device on the upper surface of each front end. 4 is provided, and a belt through hole 5 is provided on the side surface of each underarm fixing device 1 below the underarm contact surface 3 so as to extend in the front-rear direction parallel to the underarm contact surface 3, so that the entire belt is made of a tape measure. A single belt 6 with one end as the starting point (0 point) of the measuring tape is removably passed horizontally through the through holes 9 of the underarm fixing device 1 with the through hole width as shown in the figure. Both ends of the belt 6 are made to protrude from the rear end of the armpit fixing device 1, and both ends of the belt 6 can be joined together with Velcro tape 7, and the armpit fixing device 1 is inserted under the customer's left and right armpits, respectively, and the belt 6 is attached. The armpit fixing device 1 is held by wrapping the armpit fixing device 1 around the customer's chest and tightening it behind the customer's chest and joining them together so that the chest circumference can be measured at the same time.

Since the measuring instrument of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, now the armpit contact surfaces 3 of the two armpit fixing devices 1 are inserted into both armpits of the customer at the same time, and the shoulder rests 2 are placed at the base of the shoulders. After pressing the underarm fixing device 1 lightly so that it touches both underarms, use the level 4
Wrap the belt 6 around the customer's chest while keeping the front and back horizontal, then tighten the belt 6 from behind the customer and join them together with Velcro 7. It is held so that it will not fall even if it is not held at the side.

In this state, the chest height and back length can be immediately measured by measuring using a tape measure starting from the upper edge of the belt 6.

At this time, in the present invention, the belt 6 is attached horizontally to the underarm fixing device 1 so that the upper edge of the belt 6 is mechanically determined as the starting and ending measurement points for determining the distance between chest height and back height. Then, by tightening and joining the belt 6 while leveling it with the spirit level 4, the upper edge of the belt 6 becomes the starting and ending points for determining the distance of chest height and back height, so measure it using a tape measure. As a result, the same dimensional values for chest height and back height can be obtained no matter who measures it, and accurate measurements can be made without relying on experience or intuition.

Furthermore, since the belt 6 is a tape measure and one end thereof is the starting point, the customer's chest circumference can be measured at the same time as the belt is joined using the Velcro tape 7.

After measuring the chest length, back height, and chest circumference as described above, attach the belt 6.
, and remove the armpit fixing device 1 from under both armpits. However, since the belt 6 is movable relative to the armpit fixing device 1, by pulling out both ends of the belt 6 from the armpit fixing device 1, respectively. Both armpit fixing tools 1 can be easily brought to the center of the belt 6 and held in a fixed state.

It is of course possible to make changes to the present invention without departing from the spirit thereof.

As described above, according to the measuring device of the present invention, the through hole provided in the side surface of the armpit fixing device parallel to the armpit contact surface,
The width of the through-hole allows a straight line to be obtained over the entire length, and a tape measure belt that does not bend in the width direction but can bend in the thickness direction is removably inserted. Both ends of the belt are made to protrude rearward from the through holes of each underarm fixing device, and both ends of the belt can be overlapped and joined, so that by tightening the belt when measuring, the upper edge of the belt can be adjusted. are determined mechanically as the starting and ending points for determining the distance of chest height and back height.The measurements can be made without moving the instrument and are accurate, and can be easily measured by anyone regardless of the measurer's experience or intuition. It is possible to obtain the same measurement value regardless of the measurement, and by tightening the belt, the instrument can be held so that it does not fall, so the customer is not forced to hold it under his arm. It has excellent effects such as being able to measure the chest circumference at the same time and not making the customer feel uncomfortable.
