Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an instrument for accurately and easily measuring kimonos.It is particularly suitable for measuring high-quality kimonos, and is useful not only as a teaching tool, but also for measuring what kind of outerwear. To provide a measuring instrument that allows measuring even when the wearer is wearing the item.

Traditionally, when experts measure kimono, they only measure the body length (sometimes calculated from elongation) and the digits, because the kimono is flexible when worn, and the rest is determined according to the body shape. The dimensions were determined in consideration of harmony with underwear.

However, this measuring method was possible only for experienced measurers and required a considerable degree of intuition.

By using the measuring instrument of this invention, even inexperienced measurers can easily take accurate measurements, and even inexperienced measurers can take measurements of high-quality kimono, etc., which require particularly high accuracy. It is an extremely useful device.

That is, in the present invention, a raccoon hook with a rotary hook in the center consists of a string and a tape measure body with a hook at the end that engages with the rotary hook. from its end, (1)
A scale for the ratio of sleeve width to shoulder width is marked at the position corresponding to the digit, (2) a scale for the ratio of front width to back width is marked at the position corresponding to the circumference of the buttocks, and (3) a scale corresponding to the length of the kimono and the length of the undergarment. This invention relates to a kimono measuring instrument characterized by:

A specific example of the present invention will be described below.

The strap A for hanging a raccoon dog is about 5cm wide and about 1771cm long. A suitable cloth 1 of the same size as the collar of a kimono is sewn to this, an interlining 2 is sewn and wrapped, and about 1 r is attached to both ends of the cloth 1.
It is formed by sewing a string 3 of about rL.

It is also possible to extend the fabric 1 with the interlining 2 overlapped without separately sewing the string 3 and provide velvet type fasteners (not shown) at both ends.

A rotatable catch 4 is provided about 1 crIL from below the middle position of the strap A.

The hook 4 is configured to engage with a hook 6 of a tape measure body B, which will be described later, to rotatably and removably hook the hook 6, and does not require any particular configuration.

The tape measure body B is made of glass fiber, for example, and has a width of approximately 15,772 mm.
A long belt 5 of 171 is stored in a case 7 so as to be freely drawn out, and a hanging tool 6 is provided at the end of the long belt 5.

The long obi 5 is marked with a unique scale for kimonos.

In this case, mark the ratio scale of shoulder width and sleeve width and each scale of kimono length and long undergarment length on the surface of long obi 5 (the surface when hook 6 is hung), and mark the front width and back width on the front or back side. Mark the ratio scale.

The scales for the ratio of shoulder width to sleeve width and the scales for kimono length and undergarment length are measured in a hanging state, so it is easier to measure by writing them on the surface.

In this case, the scale is not marked at the overlapped position due to dimensions.

On the other hand, since the ratio scale of the front width and rear width is not measured while it is hanging, there is no problem in writing it on the front and back sides, and it is also possible to display the scale on the - side and the metric system on the other side and use it selectively.

Details of the scale are as follows.

(1) Shoulder width and sleeve width are measured in 1.9 cm increments from the end of the obi at 60.6C7m, as follows: Shoulder width: 7780838590 (size) Sleeve width: 8385879090 (size).

(2) The rear width and front width are 88 cm from the end of the long strip (in 1.9 cm increments starting from m, rear width 727476777880 818283 (size) front width 565860616365 676970 (size).

(3) The length of the kimono and the length of the long undergarment shall be written on the same side of the obi surface.

The kimono length is 3 from the end of the long obi, starting from 111.73α.
Mark 7, and then write 4 in 1-sun (3,787cm) increments.
Mark up to 7, and also mark small increments in the middle of each increment.

Nagajun undergarment length is marked 3 shaku from the end of the long obi at 109.84cm, and then 4 shaku in 1 sun (3,787cm) increments.
Write down the length, and also write small increments in between each increment.

Next, how to use the measuring instrument will be explained.

Hang the hakama part of the string A around your neck so that the center of the rotary hanging device 4 is at the position of the 7th cervical vertebra (apical vertebrae), then put on a raccoon hook and tie or hook it at the front abdomen. Fix it.

In some cases, a string of about 50 cm can be fastened vertically with a zipper or the like on the underside of the hanging device 4, and this string is hung on the back, and the lower end of the raccoon dog is attached to the string A near the back waist.
By tying it around the waist, it is possible to make the sash hanging more stable.

Next, the hook 6 of the tape measure body B is rotatably engaged with the hook 4 of the strap A, and the arm of the person to be measured is opened approximately 30 degrees from the vertical and is placed along the shoulder and arm. Stretch the long strip 5 and check the girder dimension position.

Since both the shoulder width and sleeve width are marked at the digit size position of the long belt 5, the shoulder width and sleeve width values can be read and measured at the same time.

Next, the long obi 5 is hung down from the position of the hanger 6, and the length of the kimono or the undergarment is read and measured in the same manner.

When measuring the rear width and front width, do not hang the hook 6 on the hook 4, wrap the long belt 5 around the buttocks, and measure from the end of the long belt 5. You can read the numbers and take measurements at the same time.

As described above, the measuring instrument of the present invention organically combines the strap and tape measure body, fixes the measuring position with the hooks 4 and 6, and Since the hanger 6 is configured to be freely rotatable, the measuring time from girder measurement to length measurement can be significantly shortened, and one person can accurately measure the length. Tape measure body B
All the scales necessary for measurements are marked on the long strip 5.
In particular, the shoulder width, sleeve width, back width, and front width are recorded as ratio scales, so you can use the measurement scales as they are for cutting kimonos without the need for calculations or replacement of numbers, and they are always constant and excellent. It has a characteristic that gives it a worn appearance.
