1 Claim.
My invention relates to the class of devices that are employed for designating the length of a skirt, gown, coat, or other article of wearing apparel, and an object of my invention, among others, is the production of an apparatus of this class that shall be simple in construction and operation and particularly effective in the results obtained by its use.
One form of an apparatus embodying my invention and in the construction and use of which the objects herein set out, as well as others, may be attained is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of my improved garment marker.
Figure 2 is a similar view but looking from a point located at right angles to the point of view of Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is a top plan view on enlarged scale.
Figure 4 is a view in horizontal section on a plane denoted by the dotted line 44 of Fig. 1.
Figure 5 is a view on still larger scale in central vertical section through a greater portion of the device.
Figure 6 is a View in section on a plane denoted by the dotted line 6-8 of Fig. 5.
Figure 7 is a view in horizontal section on a plane denoted by the dotted line 1-1 of Fig. 5.
Figure 8 is a cross sectional view along line 88 of Figure 6.
My improved markercomprises a base which includes a flat round plate 8, a dome 9 rising therefrom and a drum I secured to the top of the dome, all of these parts preferably being round in shape. The plate 8 is larger in diameter than the dome 9 thereby providing a marginal track extending around the dome, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings. The drum is undercut as at |2 forming an annular groove between the top of the undercut portion and the top of the dome 9, as shown in Fig. 5. This annular groove or recess constitutes a raceway for balls |3 to be hereinafter referred to. A mat M is located in a depression in the top of the drum upon which a person may stand for the purpose of having the lower part of a garment marked to determine its length.
A marker base I is supported on rollers I5 rotatably mounted in boxes I! formed on the underside of and depending from the base l5, these rollers being positioned to travel on the track H, as shown in Fig. 7. A pair of rollers l8 are journaled in a bordering flange l9 and a post as shown in Fig. 6. A tie plate 2| is secured to the under side of the top of the marker base I5 and has an opening 22 that fits around the reduced portion created by the undercut l2 in the drum ill, the plate thus serving to ti the marker base l5 to the drum. Holes 23 are punched out of the plate 2| at certain points to receive the balls l3 hereinbefore referred to, the punching process to form the holes creating lips 24 which oiiera bearing for the balls.
In the structure thus far described it will be seen that the base |5 may be revolved about the stationary base comprising the drum ID, the base l5 riding on the rollers |6 as well as the balls |3, the latter serving as anti-friction members to permit easy motion of the base 5.
The whole device may be readily moved by tipping the stationary base to cause the rollers It to come in contact with a surface over which the whole device may be rolled with the rollers l8 serving as supports for the movement of the base.
A band 25 is secured at its opposite ends to the edges of the plate 2|, said plate extending around the annular recess produced by the undercut part |2 of the drum and closing such recess, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.
A handle 32 secured to the upper end of the screw is provided for turning it to raise or lower the table 28. A stapling device 33 of common and ordinary construction is pivotally mounted on the table 28 for movement toward and from an anvil 34 secured to the edge of the table between it and the drum ID, as shown in Fig. 5. This anvil is spaced from the edge of said table to provide a gap for the lower end of a garment worn by a person standing on the mat l4. This stapling device is of ordinary form readily purchasab'le on the market and comprises a magazine 35 for supply of staples to a plunger 36 re-. ciprocatingly mounted in the body or case 31. In adapting this for use in my machine I pivotally attach the upper end of the magazine 35 to an through an opening 40 in said head to move it into and out of contact with the anvil 34. In the place of the ordinary knob for the plunger 36 of the magazine I connect said plunger by an operating lever 4| with an actuating plunger 42 mounted for vertical reciprocating movement in the post-26, the upper end of the plunger 42 being rounded for convenient operation by the hand of the operator, such upper end in fact being formed as a handle.
A person standing on the mat l4 and wearing a garment to be operated upon, the lower edge of such'garment will belocated in the space between the anvil and the stapling device. The elevation of the stapling device which comprises the marker is determined by means of a gage comprising a scale 43 on the plunger 42 cooperating with any suitable index, such as the upper surface of a case 44 when the plunger is in its uppermost position. The case 44 is formed to fit over and cover the parts rising from the marker base [5 as shown in Fig. 6, the bar 3i being secured to the case and loosely receiving the upper ends of the posts 26 and 21. A slot '45 is formed through the wall of the case to permit vertical movement of the table and the plunger 36 which parts extend through said slot and said slot extending out at the bottom of the case. i
The proper elevation of the table 28 having been obtained the handle 42 is operated to actuate the stapling device, the first part of the movement of the plunger swinging the stapling device into contact with the skirt against the anvil 34, and resistance being then encountered, further movement of the plunger 42 will operate the plunger 36 to drive the staples into the fabric of the skirt. The device is so set that the staple is clinched very slightly so that it may be readily removed. During this operation the-marker base I5 is revolvedlabout the drum H! and the plunger 42 is operated at intervals as may be desired to place the staples at such intervals around the garment near the bottom wardly to insert a staple in the fabric it is re-,
. turned to its elevated position by means of a spring 46 thrusting at one end against a disk 41 in the plunger 42 and seated at its opposite end on a shelf 48 at the lower end of a bracket 49 secured to the table 28 and projecting through the slot 45 and extending downwardly within said plunger.
In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes I have described the principles of operation of my invention, together with the device which I now consider to represent the 7 best embodiment thereof; but I desire to have it understood that the device shown is only illustrative and that the invention may be carried out by other means and applied to uses other than those above set out.
In order to prevent the screw 30 from creeping as a result of vibration from operation of the plunger 42 a brake band 50 is applied to the screw near the upper end as shown in Figs. 6 and 8 of the drawings, a thumb screw 5|, engaging the end of the fixture attached to the band enabling the pressure of the band upon the screw to be regulated in a manner that will be readily understood.
I claim:
A garment marker including a stationary base, a drum secured to and rising from said base, a marker base attached to said drum to travel therearound, supporting posts rising from said marker base, a table mounted for vertical movement on said posts, a head rising from said table and having an opening therethrough, arms rising from said head, a stapling device including a magazine pivotally attach-ed to the upper ends of said arms and including a case horizontally bodily movable in said opening, and an actuating plunger vertically movable in one of said posts and operatively connected with the plunger of said stapling device to actuate the latter.
ROSE HOFFMAN.
