PATTERN MARKER Original Filed July 24, 1936 v INVEN R v Maude 527678 imyfw A; ATTORNEY.

Patented Mar. 31, 1942 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,277,667 I FATTERN MARKER Maude Rogei-s, San Gabriel, Calif. I Substituted for abandoned application Serial No.

92,353, July 24-, 1936. This application February 8, 1939, Serial No.

, 6 Claims. My invention relates to a marker useful for dressmakers in marking patterns on fabrics, and

is particularly useful for marking such patterns on fabrics in the home. More particularly the marker is adapted to be positioned underneath a double layer of fabric for the purpose of marking the under side of the lowermost piece of: fabric when tracing or following a pattern positioned on the upper side'piece of the fabric.

An object is to provide anovel marker for dressmakers and which is adapted to' be positioned underneath selected regions of the goods so as tofacilitate marking both sides of the fabric or to mark anadditional piece of fabric at places so to be marked according to-the pattern transferred. I

An object is to provide a simple device ofthis class which is particularly economical of manufacture so as to be readily available to the home dressmaker marking patterns on fabric.

A further object is to provide a novel holder adapted to receive a piece of transfer material, preferably a piece of dressmakers transfer paper or carbon wherein the carbon is positioned within a shallow recess so that its position may be readily determined from the opposite side of the goods under which it is positioned; and further so that the goods normally does not lie in contact therewith and the holder may be positioned under and moved from place to place under the fabric Without rubbing the transfer material or the carbon paper on the goods 'or displacing the pattern on the fabric.

This application is a substitute application for abandoned application, Serial No. 92,353, filed July 24, 1936. I

Other objects, advantages and features of invention may appear from the accompanying drawing, the subjoined detail description and the appended claims.

The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention in a form I at present deem preferable.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my novel pattern marker shown in conjunction with a piece of goods and pattern thereon for the purpose of illustrating its use.

Fig. 2 is a plan view on enlarged scale of the marker.

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on line 33, Fig. 2.

Various operations in making dresses or in tailoring from patterns require that the indicia of the pattern be marked on both sides of t e goods or fabric to be cut, or in making duplicate pieces of the pattern in which the lowermost piece of goods should be marked identicalwith the uppermost piece; and usually the dressmaker has accomplished this by inserting pins through the goods at such points of the pa tern that required marks on both sides onbothpieces, and thereafter using-the pins to indicate such points on the back or reverse side of the fabric, or on the duplicate or double piece of goods to be cut from the fabric. I

Withthe present invention, a holder A comprising a back member I of relatively stiff sheet material such as Celluloid, aluminum, cardboard, or sheet metal is providedfrom which extends a handle 2. The back member i may be of any particular shape, and for preference is shown as being rectangular in form and along its sides spacer strips 3 are provided.

Supported. upon the spacers soasto form with the back member a thin slot 4 in a front or frame member 5 having a large opening 6 therein of any suitable design and preferably rounded at its ends with its margins beveled and less in width than the space between the spacer strips 3.

The slot 4 is adapted to receive a piece of dressmakers carbon paper 1 of any suitable transfer paper or other suitable transfer material which by pressure contact leaves a mark.

In operation, the dressmaker traces the pattern B on the fabric or goods C or marks the fabric according to indicia D on the pattern, and wherever it is advantageous to mark the reverse side, the marker A is slipped under the cloth opposite the desired place and upon marking the fabric on the upper side according to the pattern the carbon or transfer material will leave an imprint or mark on the reverse side as shown at E.

Although in the drawing for purposes of clearness, I have illustrated the use of my invention in marking the reverse side of a single piece or sheet of. fabric, it will be understood and apparent that the invention is also particularly useful in marking two superimposed pieces of fabric, and it is desired to mark the undermost piece with the indicia or the data at the same time as marking the uppermost sheet direct from the pattern.

I claim: I

1. A pattern marker comprising a thin, solid, fiat, substantially rectangular back plate having a fiat elongate handle lying in a common plane with said back plate; a thin, fiat frame member bordering said back plate and defining a central opening having beveled edges; and spacing means adjacent portions of the periphery of said back plate to space said frame member a slight distance from said back plate so as to receive a sheet of transfer paper between adjacent faces of said back plate and said frame member.

2. A pattern marker for dressmakers comprising means for holding a piece of transfer material, said means including a flat, solid back member and a fiat frame member positioned over and bordering said back member and provided with an opening through which a piece of transfer material held by said means may be exposed;

and an elongate handle attached to the back member and by which handle the said means may be inserted under a piece of fabric on a support and shifted to position the transfer material under a designated point on a pattern spread above the fabric and at which point the upper surface of the fabric is to be marked, and whereby pressure produced in such marking Will cause the transfer material to correspondingly mark the under surface of the fabric.

, 3. In means for removably supporting a fiat rectangular piece of transfer material, comprising a fiat back member of elongated rectangular form, a pair of spacer strips extending along the long side edges of the back member on the upper face thereof, and a frame mounted on and spanning the space between said spacer strips, said frame having a central opening, the sides of said frame extending inwardly of the spacer strips and both ends of the frame being spaced from the upper face of the back member whereby to form a flat rectangular tube open at both ends.

4. In means for removably supporting a fiat rectangular piece of transfer material, comprising a fiat back member of elongated rectangular form, a pair of spacer strips extending along the long side edges of the back member on the upper face thereof, a frame mounted on and spanning the space between said spacer strips, said frame having a central opening, the sides of said frame extending inwardly of the spacer strips and both ends of the frame being spaced from the upper face of the back member whereby to form a fiat rectangular tube open at both ends, and a flat handle extending from one end of the back member and having its upper face in the plane of the upper face of the back member whereby to permit unobstructed placement and removal of the transfer material and whereby to assist in guiding the transfer material into position beneath the frame.

5. A pattern marker comprising a thin, solid, fiat back plate having an elongated handle member extending therefrom in substantially a common plane therewith; a thin, flat frame member bordering said back member defining a central opening; and spacing means adjacent portions of the periphery of said back plate to space said frame member a slight distance from said back plate and said spacing means being open along one side of said frame member to receive through said open side and between said back plate and frame member a piece of transfer material.

6. In means for removably supporting a piece of transfer material, comprising a flat back member, a pair of spacer strips extending along onposite sides of the back member on the upper face thereof; a frame member mounted on and spanning the space between said spacer strips, said frame member having a central opening terminating adjacent said spacer strips slightly inwardly therefrom; and an elongate handle extending from one end of the back member.
