T0 all whom it may concern Be it' known that I, DALI H. SHArmo, a
citizen. ofthe Dominion 'of Canada, and resldent-of the city of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec and/Dominion of Cana-da, have invented certain newand useful improvements in}'arment-li`orms, of which the foln lowing isla full, clear, vand exact description. garment forms, and the main object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive device that can be used by manufacturers for packing garments in boxes to prevent 'crush\ ing or creasing of the garment material, or which can be used for suspending the garment, or displaying same to best advamn that the garment will resemble approximately the natural curvature of the human form.
A further-object is to provide a garment form which may be storedin iiat condition and assembled into operative form in a moment of time.l
A still further object ment form which' may cordance with the size of displayed thereon.
Another object is may surface with equal facility.
To accomplish the above objects, I provide a flat card shaped approximately like the human body following Athe lines of the shoulders, but extremely wide at the waist.
is to provide a garhe adjusted in acthe garment to be to provide a form which The lower part ofthe card is slit into three I tongues which may be drawn over one another and secured by any suitable means to 'inpart a curvature to the card resembling the curvatureof the human form. The neck portion consists of a long strip folded or hinged short distance above the body,so that the strip may be used either as a hanger for suspending the'form or a support for standingl the same on a counter or the like. ln the drawings which illustrate the invention: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the form assembled in standing position. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the blank. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the fastening means.
Referring more particular ings, 5 designates a flat sheet of suitable material such as card-board having suitably sloped shoulder edges 6 and side edges 7 diverging downwardly from the shoulders for a short distance, so as to enter the arm holes Svpeciivcaton of Ledtters Yatent. p

. application sied my 4, ma. serial No. 'stessa waist measure. The lower edges and arranged parway to the upper diverging at the top,vas
allel or slightly shown. rIhese slits divide the lower part of the card into a central tongue 10 and side line and overlapped;
h Y part of the card is provided with two or more slits 9 extending from the lower edge approximately halfof a garment placed thereon, and then curvrepresenting the 11, the lower edges 12 of which'are i so fOr-med that when the lower ends of the' the .three bottom edges will coincide in a single straight or slightly curved line, as clearly shown in The center of the lower edge of .the tongue 10 is provided with a single notch 13, while f the lower edges of each ofthe side tongues ed with a plurality of notches'- 11 are provi 14, so arranged that when the tongues are l brou ht into overlapping relation, eorrethe side tongues will spon ing notches of the notch of the cencoincide exactly with ter tongue, and fastener 15, which is preferably well known forms of paper clip, Fiv. 3.
neck portion 16 is provided in the usual location, but is very much elongated, so that when folded or hinged at the line 17, a support 18 is provided behind the form, which will hold the same in upright position on a store counter or the like. This neclr portion is tantly on opposite sides of the fold 17, so that the neck portion may be folded closely upon itself, bringing the holes 19 into register with one another and permitting the form to be suspended. To prevent the support 18 sliding back away from the body portion and allowing the form to fall from its upright lposition, holes 20 may be provided in the lower portion of the center tongue 10 and the extremity of the support 18, through which a cord or the like 21 may one of the shown 1n be passed and secured Ihy knctting at the' the device in operative form, the side tongues permit the insertionof a provided with holes 19 arranged equldisn icc l1 are drawn at their lower ends `over the center tongue l0 until corresponding notches v 14 register with the center tongue notch lf3.
The fastener l5 is'now inserted in the notch 'and holds the side tongues in position. The bending of the card which results gives the desired to display. lf the garment is to be suspended for display or storage or laid `flat in a box or the like, the support portion '1S remains folded under the body portion, but if it is desired to stand thev garment on a show ease or in a window for display purposes, the tongue is extended tothe rear and may, if desired; be connected Withvthe body,
portion by the cordv 2l. The form will then stand on the united lower edges of the three tongues and the widened extremity of the support 18.v 'hile. the device may be used as'a display form with the tongue, probably its most general. use will be as a. method of packing'garnrents in their shipping boxes. The garment is held against sliding around in the box and is also held to the natural curvature of the body, so that the appearance presented is much superior to that of a garment lying flat in the box. In addition the vform `vill be of chasen as it will constitute a hanger for the garment. Then used as a hanger the curva- 'ture of the form holds the garment to its natural position, so that sagging and Wrin khng 1s entirely prevented.
While the device has been shown lin its simplest form, that is, with three tongues,
great service to the pur` it is obvious that the number ofthese may be multiplied and the slits extended varying distances upwardly, so that a more perfect representation of the human form can be obtained. It is also obvious that the notches 13 and 14 may be replaced by' apertures,
and the specific form of clipshovvn replaced by any other suitable form of fastener, Without departing from the spirit of the in-' 1n the registering notches of the three tongues when in overlapped position.

A garment form comprising a sheet shaped at its upper portionk to-represent garment shoulders and having its Vlower portion divided into three tongues being provided vWith recesses, and means on the central tongue adapted to cooperate with said recesses-for securing the outer tongues in overlapped position over each other and tongue. y I
