UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM C. BISHOP, OF OVID, NEW YORK.
'GEOMETRICAL TRANSFERABLE MEASURER FOR IVIEASURIING AND DRAFTING PREPARATORY TO CUTTING COATS, VESTS, Sac.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 179', dated April 25, 1837.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WM. C. BISHOP, of
(Ovid, in the county of Seneca and State of 'about nineteen inches long, including the curved part at the upper end. To this is affixed a cross piece B, of the same material, and standing at right angles with it; both of these straps are divided into inches, and parts of inches, in the manner shown in the drawing; at the right hand, the strap A, is curved up to the length of four inches. C, is a similar strap, which slides back and forth on the strap A, and at right angles with it. There is also a slide, D, on the strap B; to this latter is attached the measuring tape E, divided into inches, as represented. Upon the upper end of B, and also on the extremity of the curved part of A, there are pieces which swivel, and have each measuring tapes upon them, the mode of dividing which is fully shown.
Having thus fully described the manner in which my measurer is constructed, I now proceed to explain the manner in which it is to be used. The instrument is to be placed close beneath the arm, in such a lway that the part of the strap B, which is extended above A, comes in front of the arm. The sliding strap C, is then moved to the p-art which is to designate the width of the back, and the'distance from the front of the scye to the back, and also the height from the lower part of the scye, are noted down. The distance to both the designated points of the shoulder is then measured by the measuring tapes attached to the swivels on the ends of the straps. The slide D, is then moved down to the waist, and the distance noted; then, with the measure, I take the distance in at the waist. In drafting, I use the same instrument, and transfer the measurements, as taken by it.
I do not claim to be the inventor of the use of flexible straps of metal, and of measuring tapes, or of their application to the purpose of measuring and drafting for the cutting of clothes; but
W'hat I do claim, is-
The particular mode in which I have connected, and arranged, them, as herein fully set forth.
WILLIAM C. BISHOP. Witnesses:
CHS. M. KELLER, THos. P. JoNEs.
