SKIRT-MARKER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 14, 1911.
Application filed .Tune 25, 1909. ASerial No. 504,365.
'the United States, residing at Chicago, in
the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skirt-Markers, of which the following is a specification.
The object of our invention is to provide an improved design for skirt markers and similar devices, the special aim of our invention being an economical and eicient construction. Skirt markers, as usually constructed, consist of a base to which is attached an upright standard suitably graduated in inches and fractions and carrying an adjustable chalk holder. By means of this device, skirts, and other garments, are marked when tried on for the purpose of indicating the proper length at all points. As previously constructed, the standard has been formed separately from the'base and secured thereto by various means. By our improved construction, the manufacture of the base and standard is effected at a lower cost, while retaining all of the advantages of previous structures. We have also devised an improved chalk holder, especially adapted for use with our improved base and standard, and also adapted for use with other forms of standard.
In the drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the complete device. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the chalk holder. Fig. 3 is an edge view of the same. Fig. 4 Iis a cross section of a standard formed from a Hat strip of metal, this form of standard being sometimes used.
The base 1 and standard 2 are formed from a single piece of half-round wire, that is wire semi-circular in cross section. The precise semi-circular form, of course, is not essential, but the wire should be substantially semi-circular havingv one flat and one curved face. The wire may be bent in circular or any other desired form, with the lat side down, to form the base, and is then bent inwardly and upwardly, as indicated at 3 and 4, the standard 2 rising from about the center of the base in order to secure stable equilibrium. Upon its flat side, the standard is provided with graduations in inches and fractions of an inch, indicating the distance from the plane of the lower side of the base, in order to aord means for marking the garment at any desired distance from the floor.
Slidably mounted upon the standard 2 is the chalk holder '5 which we form by bending a flat plate of metal at 6 and 7 to form two arms joined by a transverse part 8. The bases of the arms adjacent the transverse part 8 are parallel and provided with a perforation 11 to embrace the standard 2. This perforation is semi-circular in form,
in 'order to have a nonrotatable lit with the.
In order to hold the chalk holder in its adjusted position on the standard 2, a screw threaded aperture is tapped in the transverse section 8 which connects the two arms, and a thumb screw 16 is threaded into the screw threaded aperture and at its end bears against the standard, thus securely holding the chalk holder in any desired position.
We claim:
1. A skirt marker comprising ya base, a standard extending from the base perpendicularly to the plane thereof, said base and standard being bent from a single piece of wire, and a chalk holder adjustably mounted on said standard.
2. A skirt marker comprising a base, a standard extending from said base perpendicularly to the plane thereof, said base and standard being bent from a single piece of half-round wire, said standard having gradnations, and a chalk holder adjustably mounted on said standard.
3. A skirt marker comprising a base and standard, and a chalk holder adjustably mounted on said standard, said chalk holder comprising spring arms joined at one end and crossing each other intermediate their ends.
4. A skirt marker comprising a standard, and a chalk holder comprising a metal plate bent to form two arms spaced apart at their bases, the bases of said arms being provided with perfor-ations to embrace said standard, said arms crossing each other at a point beyond said perforations.
5. A skirt marker comprising a standard, and a chalk holder comprising a metal plate bent to form two arms spaced apart at their bases, the bases of said arms being provided with perforations to embrace said standard, said perforations being semicircular in form with notches at the ends of the straight side, and said arms crossing each other at a point beyond said perforations.
6. A skirt marker comprisinga standard, and a chalk holder comprising a metal plate bent to form two arms spaced apart at their bases, the bases of said arms being provided with perforations to embrace said standard, one of said arms being out away at the center to form side projections and the other having a central projection, said central projection being received between and crossing said side projections adjacent the base portion of said arms.
In testimony whereof, We have subscribed our names.
