PATTERN TOOL Filed May 25 1 INVENTOR.
Patented Nov. 24, 1953 PATTERN TOOL Edward F. Zore, Milwaukee, Wis., assignor to Handee Products, Inc., a. corporation of Wisconsin I Application May 23, 1949, Serial No. 94,901
7 Claims. (01. 33-189) 'This invention relates to improvements in pattern tools and more particularly to pattern tools adapted for use by dressmakers and tailors.
When a pattern is used for making an article of clothing, such as a dress or suit, corresponding pieces of cloth, such as the right and left sleeve portions of a suit, are usually cut simultaneously by placing the two layers of material together, pinning the pattern to the top of the double layer, and then cutting the two layers on the outline. Most sections of pattern also contain holes or printed dots for use in marking the location of pockets, pleating, darts or the like.
In the past it has been common practice to insert basting thread through the plural thicknesses of cloth at these holes or dots, the threads being cut as each piece of cloth is lifted off so as to leave a short piece of thread in each piece of cloth for marking purposes. This method is time consuming, inconvenient, and not entirely satisfactory. It has heretofore been proposed to furnish marking tools for the purpose of making chalk marks on two pieces of cloth simultaneously. However, the tools that have so far been proposed have embodied levers or arms which extend both above and below the fabric, the levers being connected in some type of scissors fashion. This necessarily limits the distance from an edge that marking may be performed and requires a relatively complicated and expensive instrument.
It is a general object of the present invention to provide a simple and inexpensive instrument for accurately marking top and bottom layers of material to correspond with holesor perforations in a pattern, the said instrument being operable at any desired distance from an edge.
A further object of the invention is to provide a pattern tool having interchangeable inserts, one set of inserts being in the form of cutters, and the other set of insertsbeing in the form of crayons, the said cutters being used to cut perforations in those patterns which employ merely printed dots to thereby prepare this type of pattern for use in a marking operation.
A more specific object of the invention is to provide a pattern tool including a pair of holders, one of the holders having an elongated pin projecting axially therefrom which is insertable in a receiving bore of the insert of a like holder to positively aline the two holders on opposite sides of material for either cutting or marking purposes.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of the improved pattern tool,
and all its parts and combinations, as set forth in the claims, and all equivalents thereof.
In the accompanying drawing, illustrating one complete embodiment of the preferred form of the invention, in which the same reference numerals designate the same parts in all of th views:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the pattern pinned to two pieces of cloth and showing the improved tool in use for marking;
Fig. 2 is a sectional View on an enlarged scale through a fragment of the cloth and pattern of Fig. 1, showing the tool in elevation and in operative position;
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view through the tool showing the crayon inserts;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the crayon inserts alone; and
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the tool showing it equipped with cutting inserts instead of crayons.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral 5 indicates one of the pair of holders which together comprise the marking device. The holders are made of metal, plastic or other suitable material. Holder '5 is generally cylindrical in shape and has a socket 6 formed at one end,
' its other end being substantially semi-spherical as at 1 so as to form a comfortable gripping section. The holder 5 is axially bored as at 8 so as to provide a snug fit for an elongated pin 9 which is forced through the bore 8 from the end 1 so as to project from the socket 6 at the opposite end. The socket 6 has associated therewith a cut out and inwardly offset tongue portion I ll, preferably as an integral part of the holder 5. This tongue It] serves to securely retain an insert such as the piece of crayon H, the said insert having an axial bore I2 through which the elongated pin 9 is adapted to extend. The crayon l I is sufficiently long to project substantially from the socket 5 and yet allow a substantial length of the pin 9 to project beyond the end of the crayon H. The term crayon includes chalk, graphite, pencil,- or any similar writing material.
The other holder l3 of the pair is constructed quite similarly to holder 5, except that the axial bore Hi of the second holder [3 is of such a size I as to permit the pin 9 to freely pass therein.
faces of the material, as shown in Fig. 2.
the socket, and said washer serving to guide pin 9 into the axial bore I l of the holder [3 after the chalk is worn down.
Fig. 1 shows a top layer 2| and a bottom layer 22 of material having a pattern 20 pinned to both layers. These layers 2| and 22 have already been cut to thegeneralshape of the pattern and are in a position'to bemarked by the improvedmarking device.
In use of the tool with a pattern having per-.
forations, such as at [9, the holder 5 is held over one of the openings IS in the pattern and the pin 9 is forced through the. layers 2|.and 22. The pin 9 is preferably centered in the opening 19 before piercing. *Next, the other holder I3 is held so as to allow the projecting. portion of.the pin 9 to enter the axial bore I2 of the crayon ll. The holders are then moved toward one another. in their alined position into contact with the sur- Then by rotating the holders, markingsare made simultaneously on both. the top layer 2i. andv bottom layer 22, at points corresponding exactly to the openings H3 in the pattern 213.
It is to be noted thatthe same piece of crayon 1! may be used in either of the two holders and that the crayons are readily removable so that when worn by continual use they can be easily replaced by new pieces.
If the pattern is of a type having printed dots instead of the holes l9, then the pieces of crayon I I may be removed from the holders and replaced with the inserts 24 and 26. The insert 24. forms a male cutting element having a circular knife edge 25. The insert is also provided with an axial bore 28.
The insert 26 provides a female'cutting element and has a circular end groove or recess 21 for coaction with the cutting edge of the elev.ment 24. The cutting element 26.is also axially bored as. at 29.
' With the pattern toolthus equippedthe pin 9 "may be inserted through the printed dot of a pattern and then into the. bore 23 of the cuttin 1.element 24 in the holder 9. therebelow. Then. by
pushing the members, together and rotating, a
; hole may easily be cut concentric with a printed dot on the pattern. After all of the printed dots have been cut out, then the cutting elements 24 and 26 are removed and replaced with the crayons ll so as to be ready 'for'marking.
It is to be .noted that. regardless of'whether the tool is to be used for cutting or marking,
the construction is essentially the same in that the inserts, whether in the form 'of crayons or in the form of cutters, areeasily alined by reason of the action of the pin 9 in entering the receiving bores therefon' It is also apparent that both cutting and marking are accomplished by relative rotation of the holders.
Various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, and all such changes are contemplated as may come within the scope of the claims.
