Description

[Detailed description of the invention] 11yo standing J3LLW The present invention relates to a doll model for dressmaking.

- and between.

Traditional doll model numbers used to make clothing have been well known for many years. These are made to a fixed and adjustable size and mounted on an upright stand, so that the textiles to be used for making clothing can be mounted directly on the outer surface of the doll model. It's like that. Thus, various sections of fabric taken from the model itself can be pinned together with a bottle and then removed from the doll model and sewn together, resulting in a garment. A fixed-size doll model has the serious disadvantage of not allowing the possibility of adjusting the size of the clothes to be made from the fabric mounted on the model. The reason is that the doll model has the correct size in the chest area but not in the buttocks and waist area. This requires numerous changes in the sewing of the garment along various seam lines.

All of them require considerable time and effort to complete. Even when the garment is finally completed, it still fits properly on the body, since each of the many changes to one part of the garment must be made taking into account the changes to other parts of the garment. It might not fit. As a result, certain doll models are unsuitable for making clothing for people who differ even slightly in size and shape from the doll models used to make the clothing.

In the past, adjustable doll models have also been used quite often. But although they are adjustable, they do not allow clothing to be made in such a way that little or no changes are needed to make it fit the human body.

The reason for this is that adjustable doll models have numerous fragmented body parts that are movably mounted on an upright stand, and therefore - the fragmented body parts as a unit are used for the purpose of adjustment. of a fixed doll model, except that it can be moved with respect to each other at
- has an outer surface that mimics a single body in use;

The many positions to which the body part can be moved are fixed with eye bolts so that the size and shape of the resulting doll model mimics the size and shape of the human body of the person for whom the garment is made. must be done. This adjustment of the fragmented body portions leaves much to be desired. That is, the body part can be suitably adjusted in one area, for example in the waist area, but these parts can be clearly unadjusted in the buttocks and chest area. Additionally, slight forces often accidentally applied to one or more of these body parts can cause these parts to move out of alignment, and can cause these parts to become unadjusted. It is difficult to return the parts to their proper positions. Thus, adjustable doll models also leave much to be desired and require much time and effort to be used properly.

The above-mentioned drawbacks make it possible to size and make adjustments to the tissue model before cutting and sewing the fabric, and can be easily adjusted even by those with very low dressmaking skills. A need has arisen for a doll model that can also be used.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention satisfies the aforementioned needs by providing an improved doll model that is adjustable to multiple positions to mimic the actual detailed dimensions of the person for whom the garment is being made. ing. In particular, the doll model of the present invention has adjustable members in four positions: around the neck and in the shoulder width area, in the chest area, in the waist area and in the buttocks area. These elements are mounted on an upright column and adjustments to these elements can be made quickly and easily after the particular dimensions of the person for whom the garment is being made have been taken using a tape measurer.

To complete the doll model, model elements made of a suitable, relatively self-supporting material are mounted on adjustable members fixed to the column. This is done after the adjustable member has been suitably adjusted on the column to the liking of the person making the garment.

The above model elements include a bodice, a skirt, and optionally 1
and these model elements are mounted on an adjustable member such that the skirt and sleeves are connected by any suitable means, such as snaps, Velcro, zippers or the like. Fixed to the bodice. These model elements, when mounted on an adjustable member on the column, can be attached to a conventional tissue paper mold by pins or other means in order to actually make clothing from the doll model itself. Provides a supporting surface to which it can be attached. A preferred material for the model element is Perron, which is washable, ironable and non-shrinkable. Even if this material is crushed during storage, wrinkles can be removed by ironing with a steam iron.

A first object of the present invention is an improved doll model for use in making clothes, wherein said doll model covers the neck and shoulder area, chest area, lumbar area and waist area of the person for whom the clothes are being made.
It has a large number of flexible members providing m areas,
First of all! vaw the member, then adjust 0 true model elements,
For example, by arranging the bodice, skirt and sleeves on the adjustable member, a doll model is constructed that is truly representative in size and shape of the actual body of the person for whom the garment is being made. An object of the present invention is to provide an improved doll model consisting of:

Other objects of the invention will become apparent as the text proceeds. The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

K Person 1 The improved doll model of the present invention is indicated generally at 1° and is illustrated in FIG. The doll model 10 has an internal structure shown in great detail in FIGS. 1 to 5.
It includes an I structure 2 and an outer structure 14 including a skirt portion 16, a bodice 18, and optionally a sleeve 20 (FIGS. 7-9). The sleeves are illustrated as long sleeves; however, the sleeves may be relatively short and sleeved or omitted if desired. FIG. 8 shows a number of snaps 22 used to secure the upper end of the -JIII 20 to the bodice element 18 at the armhole 24. Other fastening devices may be used if desired. The bodice element 18 also has a neck portion 26; however, this neck portion may be omitted if desired.

The outer surfaces of the skirt, bodice and sleeve elements provide support for mounting conventional garment forms of tissue vapor in making the garment. The tissue vapor mold can be attached to the outer surface of the model elements by means of pins or their guns after the model elements 16.18 and 20 have been adjustably mounted on the inner structure to be described in detail later. . Thus, a representative set of model elements 16, 18 and 20 may be representatively selected for a particular individual, but such model elements 16, 18 and 20 are representative of the body of a second individual. can be readjusted. Additionally, model elements 16, 18 and 20 may be provided in a variety of standard sizes in practicing the principles of the invention. For a particular individual, the standard size closest to that person's measurements will be selected for use in making the doll model 10.

The inner structure 12 illustrated in FIG.
Define supports for I5 and 18.

Structure 12 includes an upright column 25 mounted on a base 27. The column can be made from several pieces that can be telescoped to allow expansion and contraction in length. Any suitable structure for varying the length of the column is within the scope of the invention. Additionally, the base 27 can be separated from the bottom end of the column to simplify packaging and shipping.

Structure 12 has four adjustable members 30.32° 34 and 36. The member 30 is adapted to provide support to the neck and shoulder width portions of the bodice element 18. The member 30 is adjustable in terms of shoulder width length and angle with respect to the horizontal plane.

Details of member 30 are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Member 30 is shaped and formed to provide a first front section 31, a rear section 33, and a top section 35. Segments 31 and 33 are slightly convex on their respective outer surfaces, while segment 35 is substantially flat. A pair of side recesses 36 are provided in the body 30a of the member 30, and a pair of first oblong elements 37 are provided in the body 30.
0a is mounted in the recess 36 at its side edge by a hinge 37a. The axis of the hinge is substantially horizontal so that element 37 can move up and down. An extension element 38 is adjustably mounted to each oval element 37, and each extension element 38 has a generally convex outer surface. Furthermore, each extension element 38 has a slot 39 which overlaps the adjacent oblong element 37 and is open at its inner end. Each slot is adapted to receive a screw 40 having a head 41 and said screw 40 is connected to a wing nut 42 such that each extension element 38 changes the length of an adjacent shoulder portion of the member 30. It is designed so that it can be freely mounted on the circular element 37 in 11 sections.

The droop angle of the oblong element 37 is varied by adjusting a pair of screws 44. The screws are supported by screwing into the outer ends of a pair of side bodies 46, and the column 46 is supported by a tube 48 which is freely mounted on the upper end 52 of the column 25 with a set screw 50. at each inner end. Thread 44 is beveled as shown in FIG. 1 to accommodate the slope of the lower surface of oblong element 37.

By providing the pivot shaft 52 at the upper end of the tube 48,
The body 30a can be tilted forward or backward w4&1. Pivot shaft 52 carries a pair of ears 54 secured to and extending downwardly from the inner surface of top section 35 of body 30a.

A set screw 56 adjustably positions the body 30a with respect to the axis of the shaft 52. Thus, the forward or rearward inclination of the body 30a can be adjusted in the direction of arrow 58 (FIG. 2a).

If desired, a neck element 80 (FIG. 1) can be provided on the body 30a. The neck element 60 includes a circular flange 62 which is secured to the lower end of a sheet-like, generally flexible section 64, the ends of which overlap each other to form a cylindrical shape. can be placed in The flange 62 can be fixed to the front and rear parts 31 and 33 of the main body 30a by Velcro strips 66 and 68. Additionally, the overlapping ends of portion 64 may be provided with adjustment lines for different neck circumference sizes. In this way, a collar style can be created and the garment can have a neck opening of any desired size.

Chest member 32 includes a pair of bowl-shaped elements 70 secured to the outer ends of a rod 72 that is adjustably secured within tube 74 by set screws 75a. Each rod 72 can be provided with a calibrated scale on its underside to allow adjustment. This scale is visible through longitudinal slots numbered in the underside of adjacent tubes 74. Tubes 74 are adjustably mounted to the outer ends of respective shafts 75 by set screws 76.

The shaft 75 is fixed to opposite sides of a short tube 77, and the tube 77 is releasably fixed to the column 25 by a set screw 78. Thus, each bowl-shaped element 7
0 can be adjusted by changing its fore-and-aft position, by changing the lateral spacing from the column 25, and by changing the angles above and below the horizontal plane passing through the axis 75. Also, the height of the bowl-shaped element 70 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the short tube 77 along the length of the column 25.

Waist member 34 has 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 may suffice with a description of member 34.

Member 36 has a pair of front and rear strips 80 and 82;
A pair of curved side strips 84J5 and 86 are included. Strips 80 and 82 are secured at their respective central portions to relatively short tubes 88 and 90, which extend forward and backward from a short tube 96 that is adjustably mounted on column 25 by set screw 98. It is movably mounted on shafts 92 and 94 that protrude from the top. Set screw 87 connects tubes 88 and 90 to ring 9.
2 and 94 in a releasable manner.

Side strips 84 and 86 are secured to relatively long tubes 100 and 102 and
．． 102 is movably mounted on shafts 104 and 106 that project laterally from opposite sides of the short tube 96. Set screws 108 and 110 adjustably secure tubes 100 and 102 to shafts 104 and 106. The shafts 92, 94, 104 and 106 are provided with a longitudinal scale 107 (FIG. 5) for adjustment purposes. The tubes 88, 90, 100 and 102 have slots for viewing the scale.

Accordingly, each of members 34 and 36 can be adjusted in a number of different directions. For example, buttock member 3
6 tubes 88 and 90 along axes 92 and 94
can be adjusted to increase or decrease the circumferential distance by changing the position of the tubes 100 and 102 along the axes 104 and 106. Furthermore, the height of member 36 can be adjusted by changing the position of tube 96 along the length of column 25. Member 34, like member 36, is adjustable.

The material used for model elements 16, 18 and 20 may be any suitable self-supporting, generally rigid material. A suitable material for this purpose is commercially available Veron. This material is washable and does not shrink when ironed.

This material can be sewn on the seam line with a home sewing machine. This material can be crushed when stored, but creases produced by crushing can be smoothed out with a steam iron. This material can be provided in standard sizes to facilitate the formation of the doll model 10 when the model elements 18, 206 and 22 are supplied in a complete set.

In use, assuming that model elements 18, 20 and 22 are prefabricated, although perhaps still requiring adjustment,
Internal structure 12 is raised and members 30, 326 and 34
and 36 are adjusted for size and shape around the neck, size and shape around the layer, chest size and shape, waist size and shape, and buttocks size and shape. All of the members 30, 32, 34 and 36 are adjusted along the length of the column 25 with respect to the height of the individual for whom the doll model 10 is being made and used.

Once members 30, 32, 34 and 36 have been adjusted, model elements 16 and 18 are placed over the members to provide doll model 10 as illustrated in FIG.

Generally, slight adjustments to the shape of elements 16 and 18 are unnecessary or undesirable. Any slight adjustments may be made by adjusting any or several of the adjustable members of doll model 10. Also,
A Nuka-1 element is releasably connected to the bodice element. When the doll model is in the state shown in FIG. 6, the dish paper clothing pattern can be attached to the doll model 10 in the normal manner.

The present invention provides a means for clothing to be made quickly and easily, and for long periods of time in which the actual measurements of an individual's body can easily change as the individual's body size increases or decreases. It also provides an improvement over the conventional structure of the dressmaking doll model.
