NITED STATES PATENT CFFICE..
EDWIN CHURCH, OF CLEVELAND, OHO.
IMPRCVEMENT lN BIAS-MARKING GAGES AND RULERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 147,044, dated February 3, 1874; application filed March 10, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN CHURCH, of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Parallel Ruler, to be used for cutting cloth in bias, of which the following is a specification:
This invention relates to parallel rulers arranged for ruling cloth to be cut into diagonal strips, or bias strips, as it is termed by milliners and dress-makers; and 'consists of two parallel rulers having cross-pieces upon which one of the rulers slides, and which may be set so as to mark off a piece of cloth into a series of strips into which it is desired t0 cut it.
The following is a description of its construction and operation:
Referring to the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a plan View of my parallel rulers as lying on a piece of cloth.
A A represent two parallel rulers or straight edges, to one of which are attached arms B B,
secured at an angle of forty-five degrees to the rulers A. The arms B B are pierced with a row of holes, c c, into which pins may be inserted for the purpose of regulating the spread of the rulers, whereby the cloth may be cut into uniform strips at such widths as may be desired.
To operate the rulers, they are laid on a piece of cloth, as seen in the drawing, and if the cloth be soft and sleazy, a sharp knife may be used for cutting it, or, if the cloth be starclled or sized goods, it may be marked with chalk or pencil and afterward readily cut with shears. By the use of these rulers, cloths may be accurately and easily cut into bias strips.
I clailn- As a new article of manufacture, a rule for cutting bias constructed with a stationary ruler, to which perforated arms B B are attached at an angle of forty-five degrees, on which arms a ruler, A, is adjustable, substantiallyas described.
EDWIN CHURCH.
