v v UNITED STATES- HANS WALTERS ROSVALL, or SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

GARMENT-GAGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patentea June'Y, 1921.

Application filed April 26, 1919. Serial No. 292,802.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Hans WALTERS Ros- VALL, a citizen of Sweden, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Gages, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in pattern gages, and particularly to a garment constructed to readily conform to the person being fitted, and provided with means whereby following such form fitting of the garment, a pattern may be accurately marked for the cutting of subsequent weaving garments of the same type.

The improved garment pattern gage is made up of cloth sections, the edges of which are connected by elastic sections, so that such edges may readily separate, or the garment yield, to conform to any particular size or irregularity of the person being fitted.

The elastic connecting sections are provided with marking means, such as pins or other puncturing elements, which of course follow the seam lines of the gage garment as fitted, and through which the pattern may be marked.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a view in front elevation of the improved gage garment,

Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of 'the same,

Fig. 3 is an enlarged broken elevation of the garment showing the elastic strips and pattern-marking points,

Fig. 4 is a section on line 44 of Fig. 3,

Fig. 5 is a sectional view through one seam showing the pattern and outer body member in position for punching,

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the ins, p Fig- 7 is an enlarged detail section cut across one seam showing the pattern and outer body in position for marking.

The improved gage garment 1 is made of sections 2, similar to those of a wearing garment of the same type, except that the edges of such sections, which in the completed garment would be stitched, are connected by strips 3, of the greater elasticity than the garment section. The strips 3 which may be rubber, are secured to the edges of the garment sections, so as to normally maintain adjacent edges of such sections slightly spaced apart, as shown in Fig. 3, and in the strips thus exposed between the edges of the of the garment section.

A second garment 8 is provided, the ma terialof which is somewhat elastic and the seams of which are connected inthe usual manner.

In use the gage garment is applied to the person, and by reason of the elastic seam strips will readily conform to any irregularities in size or shape of such person. pattern paper section or sections 9 are then applied over the sections of the gage garment and pressed onto one or more of the pins 4: to hold such pattern in place. The second or outer garment is then applied to the person over the pattern sections, and the outer garment pressed inwardly over the several lines of pins until the latter are forced through such outer garment. This will perforate the paper pattern, and correctly mark the same to provide a guide for making accurately fitting garments for the person being fitted.

As the gage garment is highly adjustable in conforming to the body of the person, owing to the elastic strips 3, it is apparent that but one or two sizes of such gage garments will be required, as the elasticity of the garment ermits its use with persons of materially di erent measurements.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. In an article of the class described, the combination of an inner garment, com: posed of sections, elastic material which joins the edges of the sections in spaced relation with respect to each other, lines'of spikes marking the center line of the said spacing, an outer garment of less elasticity than the first mentioned garment adapted to fit snugly over the inner garment and thus cause the spikes to perforate any pattern paper which may be inserted between the two garments.

2. A gage garment comprising sections, having their adjacent edges spaced apart,

elastic strips Wider than the spaces secured to the ends of adjacent sections, and a plurality of spaced pins carried in the strips, the pointed ends projecting inthe spaces be 5 tween the sections and their length being equal to the thickness of the sections, Whereby pattern paper may be applied tothe garment and pressed in along the seams, the pins making openings therein forming a pattern conforming to the shape of the 10 garment.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
