Claims.
This invention relates to a new and novel sanitary device to determine the exact sizes of a brassiere.
The object of this invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive sanitary breast measuring device, primarily for use in stores handling lingerie. It simplifies the fitting of a brassiere, by determining exactly, in the first fitting, the three required sizes of a brassiere. First, the cups, second, the separation of the breasts and third, the body size.
Another object of this invention is to provide a sanitary method, as the device can be sterilized after each fitting, by merely wiping it off with any disinfectant or placing a tissue paper between the device and the body.
A further object of this invention is to enable a salesperson to properly fit a customer with a brassiere, in a minimum of time and not as heretofore customary.
This invention consists of two graduated tubular members, two plungers with handles, a graduated adjustable band and buckle in front, and a graduated strap and buckle in back, all made of any usable, transparent and easily disinfected material. The two tubular members conform at one end to permit the plungers to enter and slide freely to the point on the opposite end, where the tubular members flare out and conform to the female breast and body. These tubular members are placed over the breasts and the device is fastened at the back in the identical manner as a conventional brassiere. when the plungers are pushed towards and slightly compressing the breasts, the cup size of the brassiere is determined when the arrow on the end of the plunger meets any of the graduations on the tubular members.
The graduated adjustable band and buckle connecting the two tubular members in front, indicates the width of the breast separation.
The graduated strap and buckle encircling the body, indicates the body size of the brassiere.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the drawing and specification.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 shows a front plan view of the tubes or cylinders and two adjusting straps of the sanitary breast measuring device.
Fig. 2 shows an adjusting device between the two tubes or cylinders.
Fig. 3 shows fragmentarily the top of the tubes or cylinders with graduations.
Fig. 4 shows a horizontal cross section of the tubes or cylinders, and plungers or pistons.
Fig. 5 shows a tissue paper cup.
Fig. 6 shows a plain tissue paper.
Fig. 7 shows a rear plan view of the tube and. cylinder with flared flange.
Fig. 8 shows a side view of an additional attachment for an adjusting device.
Fig. 9 shows a front plan view of the pistons or plungers, with an extruded handle.
Fig. 10 shows a cross section of the pistons or plungers with a handle.
The breast measuring device, which can be made in various sizes, is provided with tubes or cylinders ID and H, to fit over the breasts. These tubes or cylinders are provided with graduations I 2, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. Fig. 3 shows graduations A, B, C, D and S, L. A, B, C is the cup size of a standard brassiere. The graduations, as shown in Fig. 3, provide the letters S and L between the letters A, B, C, D. Thus, S-A indicates a small A cup, A indicates the standard cup and A-L indicates a large A cup. These tubes or cylinders may be made of. plastic, glass or other transparent material. One end of the tubes or cylinders is flared out to form a shoulder 16, to fit the breast and body [9, as shown in Fig. 4.
These shoulders I6 are provided with slots or holes- I3l4 in cylinder Ill, and l t-I3 in cylinder l I, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4.
Adjustable strap [5 is placed in slots [4 and I 4 and adjusted and locked by buckle la to set the separation of the breasts. Another form of an adjusting device to separate the cylinders is shown in Fig. 2, with locking device ll.
Strap l8 with buckle l, is locked in slot [3 of cylinder ID. A graduated strap lBra. is locked in slot I 3 of cylinder II as shown in Figs. 1 and 4.
When a lady applies the device she will bend her body forward so that her breasts will sag downwardly, and then she will place the cylinders l0 and II around her breasts and the saleslady will then fasten the graduated straps I 8 together back of her body. Then, before resuming an upright posture she will gently pull upon the nipple portion of each breast thus causing each breast to fit in a more snug, forward position within the cylinder therearound. Then she will take an upright position and thereupon will tell the saleslady just to what extent she wishes the breast cups of the brassiere to be spaced apart. The saleslady will then adjust the easurin strap l5 (which is looped through 3 the slots 1'4), according to the desired amount of separation between the breast cups of the brassire to be purchased. After this is done the saleslady will readjust the strap l8 which will then indicate the body size.
Then the plungers 24 and 25 will be inserted into the cylinders I and H until said plungers are caused gently to compress the breasts, with the result that the outer end edges of the skirts 3|, in co-operation with the lettered graduations I2 on the upper sides of the transparent cylinders l0 and II, will indicate the exact cup size, according to the stock number of the breast cup of the brassiere. Thus then will be indicated the three desired dimensions: (1), cup size, (2), separation, (3), body size.
It will be seen that, by this invention the unsanitary practice is avoided of the customer having to try on a number of brassieres to determine the right size. The device will be made of some material easy to sterilize. Elements 24 and 25 are round pistons or plungers, concave on the inner side 26, as shown in Figs. 4 and 10, to fit the breast 28. The pistons or plungers are provided with side-walls or skirts 3| which slide against the inner cylinder wall to keep the pistons or plungers straight, with concave side 26, towards the breast. Plungers or pistons 24 and 25 with extruded handles 32 or screwed handles 29 or any other means of holding the pistons or plungers, are pushed into the tubes or cylinders 10 and II, thereby compressing the breast 28 as shown in cylinder EBA, Fig. 4. Arrow 30 indicates the size of the brassiere cup required at this reading. The pistons or plungers 2 1 and 25 can also be made of transparent or any other material. Tissue paper cup 33 as shown in Fig. and Fig. 4, cylinder IDA or tissue paper 34 as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 4, cylinder HB, can be placed over the breast or inserted into the tubes or cylinders and H.
