LYMAN B MILLER AND ELLERY MILLER, OF MIDDLETOV N, NEW YORK.
TAILOR S MEASURE.
Specication of Letters Patent No. 2,106, dated May 29, 1841.'
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that we, LYMAN B. MILLER and ELLERY MILLER, of Middletown, in the county of Orange and State of New York, have invented a new and useful improvement for taking measure of the body preparatory to drafting and cutting a coat, which instrument we denominate Millers elastic rectangular measuring instrument.
In the accompanying drawing Figure l is a view of this instrument, which is composed of a number of elastic, metallic strips of metal, connected together in such manner as that each of the strips is adjustable, one strip within another, the plates of metal b eing double'so'as to form sockets, or slots, in those parts where one of them is to be received, and slide, within the other. The figures marked upon these strips represent inches, and will serve, therefore, to designate .theJusual lengths of the respective v`strips, although they may be varied to some extent inthis particular, without departing from the general principle of construction.
The strip A, A', has at its upper end a yoke a, a, which consists of a curved piece of metal intended to pass around the lower, and back, part of the neck, so as to bring the upper end of the strip opposite to the socket bone; this yoke is to be furnished Y with stingspr with straps, Zi, by means of which it mayFbe fastened in place. This yoke may be made fast, or may be attached by a hinge joint o'n the top of the strip A, A. The strips C, C, and D, D, are similar to each other and have sockets formed in them by which they embrace, and slide upon, the strip A, A. The strip B, B, which may be 8 or 9 inches long, also slides upon the strip A, A'. The strip E, E, slides upon the strip C, C. The strip F, F, slides upon C, C, and D, D. The slot, or socket, in the part of the strip F, F, which embraces D, D, is made long so as to admit of the strip D, D, approaching near to C, C, as well as to slide through F, F; a side view of F, F, is shown in Fig. 2, c, c, showing the long slot in which D, D, may slide up and down, as well as back and forth. The strip G, G, embraces the strips C, C, and D, D, and is furnished with lengthened slots, or sockets, where each of them passes through it, similar to that at c, o, in Fig. 2, thus admitting the strips G, G, to slide up and down upon both C, C, and D, D. The strip I-llLI-I, whichrmay be made narrow, passes through long slots in the upper ends of E, E, and F, F, admitting of its being raised and lowered, for a purpose to be presently described. There is a button at d, on the strip F, F, which receives one end of a measuring tape, and which is the only measuring tape used with this apparatus.
Then the instrument is to be used, it has straps, or strings, attached to it at both K ends of the strips C, C, and D, D, by which the apparatus is fastened around the body, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The strip A, A', is to be placed on the middle of the back, so
that its edge shall coincide with the back seam, its upper end A', reachingtolthe socket bone, and being confined by the yoke a, c, as before described. The strip C, C, is passed directly under, and close to, the arm. The strip F, F, is brought against the front of the arm, and the strip E, E, is brought up against the back of the arm. The strip H, H, is brought down upon the shoulder. The strip G, G, is so placed as to pass directly up and down in the center ofy so a5 place for the bottom of the back scye. The
strip C, C, gives the measure from the back seam to the front of the coat, and the distance between it and the strip H, H, gives the height from the arm pit to the shoulder. The distance between E, E, and F, F, is the thickness of the arm, from back to front. D, D, gives the measurement for the Waist. The strip G, Gr, serves to give the length for the lapel, its upper end being placed against the upper edge of the collar bone. When the instrument has been thus affixed and adjusted, and the respective measurements which are given by it have been ascertained, and set down, we then proceed to use the measuring tape which is attached to the button at cl, with which tape we take three measures only, the ordinary measuring tape being used for those purposes to which it is usually applied. The first measure is taken bypassing the measuring tape which is attached to the instrument up, over the shoulder, and `back to the socket bone, or top of the strap A, A; this gives the length of the shoulder-strap with perfect accuracy. The tape is next carried down, and to the center of the back, at the point e, which is the Waist as seen in Fig. 3; by this measurement, the
close tting of the coat at the Waist is insured. The` neXt and last measurement is taken from the point al, to the upper end of thestrip G, G, giving the Width of the fore part, from d, to the neck gorge.
The drafting, after obtaining these V meas ures, will be readily understood by every good cutter of coats, and We do not make any claim to this part of the operation, but limit our claim to the manner in Which We have combined and arranged the respective parts of our elastic, rectangular measuring instrument. We are aware that there are a number of measurin instruments consisting of elastic strips of metal, and which are attached to the person Whose measure is to be taken.; We do not, therefore, make any claim to the individual parts of our instrument. But
We do claim-m The combining of four strips of metal which are to Staind horizontally When the instrument is in use, with four others Which are to stand vertically,` the Whole of Which strips are made adjustable by means of sliding sockets, and have one measuring tape attached to them; the respective strips and.
sockets, as Well as the other parts of the instrument being combined and operating substantially as herein set forth.
