I SPLIT-LOCK MARKER RING Filed Oct. 15, 1954 readin Leakey INVENTOR ATTORNEYS United States Patent SPLIT-LOCK MARKER RING Pauline Le Roy, Los Angeles, Calif.
Application October 15, 1954, Serial No. 462,558
1 claim- (Cl. 223-110 This invention relates to a split-lock marker ring for use by a person while knitting, sewing, or stitching material to form a strip of material.
It is an object of this invention to provide a split-lock marker ring of this kind which may be engaged with the strip of material being formed between the links or stitches at any timeand in any position selected by the person forming the strip by sewing or knitting.
It is a principal object of this invention to provide a split-lock marker ring of this kind which can be easily applied and when applied will not fall from the article. The application of the marker ring is accomplished by the fingers of a hand of the person desiring to use such a marker.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a marker ring of the kind to be more particularly described hereinafter which can be readily manufactured and economically used by the person using such marker.
Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter described and the novel features thereof defined in the appended claim.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a split-lock marker ring constructed according to an embodiment of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.
Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is an elevation of a modified form of my invention.
Fig. 5 is an elevation of another modified form of my marker ring invention.
Heretofore while knitting a material and it is desired to change the thread or yarn, for the material being used in the formation of a garment, there has been employed a split ring marker to 'be inserted into the garment while it is being made. My invention relates to an improved split-lock marker ring for the same use as described above which is more easily inserted into a garment between the stitches thereof and will not loosen or fall from the garment when in use.
The manufacture of the improved split-lock marker ring can be done at a low cost and cheaply sold to the general buying public.
The improved split-lock marker ring 10, constructed according to an embodiment of my invention, is preferably to be made of plastic material from a thin sheet of plastic. The split-lock marker ring is formed of a length 11 of the material which is substantially rectangular in cross section having fiat sides. For the formation of the split-lock marker ring, the ring is formed from a length of the plastic material curved upon itself, longitudinally thereof, to provide a ring like marker having one end section 12 completing the ring and the other end section 14 overlapping it on the outer side thereof. While plastic rial 22 as clearly noted in Fig. 5 of the drawings.
In each of the modifications seen in Figs. 1, 4 and 5, the end section which is radially the farthest out from the center of the ring is regarded as the primary end section, inasmuch as this terminates in a point which first enters the stitching of the fabric. The other inner contacting end section is regarded and designated as the secondary end section.
The length 11 of the marker ring 10 is provided with terminal pointed ends 15 so that the marker may be sprung apart at its ends when it is desired to insert the ring 10 into the material being formed.
The outer convolution 16, at one end of the length of material has the outer end section 14, positioned to overlie the inner end of the ring in such a manner that the ring will not he accidentally displaced. To separate the inner and outer ends of the split-lock marker ring, it is necessary to spread apart the inner and outer ends of the length of material from which the ring is formed either radially or transversely thereof.
In Fig. 4, there is shown a modified form of marker ring having adjacent to one end thereof, the inner end,
an outwardly raised longitudinally curved form of my marker ring 20 with a projection 17 extending outwardly and upwardly from the ring for flush engagement into a depression 19 adjacent the other end of the length of material, there being provided a formed ledge 18 between the projection 17 and the remaining portion of the length of material as noted in Fig. 4 of the drawings.
The particular curvature of the length of material used to form the split-lock marker ring is generally important so that the marker ring will not be inadvertently loosened from the material on which it is applied. The resiliency of the split-lock marker ring is such that the ring will ordinarily be inherently closed of its own accord and may be opened by forcibly separating the ends of the ring thereby separating the bearing surfaces between the brace projection 17 and the depression 19.
In Fig. 5 of thevdrawings there is shown another modified form of this invention which is formed substantially in the same manner as the forms described above and for the same use. This latter modified split-lock marker ring 21 is formed of a length of material 22 which is fundamentally the same as the marker ring described above.
However the projections and depressions are not used in this last described modified form as the length of material 22' is bent in a sinuous form, there being a pointed end 25 on each end of the length of ring forming mate- In this modified form of the split-lock marker ring 21 the relationship between the ends of the length of material is substantially the same as the relationship of the ends of the material described above.
While the specific details of one embodiment of this invention have been herein shown and described, the invention is not confined thereto as changes and alterations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof as defined in the appended claim.
I claim:
A split marker ring comprising a narrow resilient strip rectangular in cross section bent along its longitudinal axis in the plane of the strip, the ends of the strip overlapping each other and disposed in close contact with each other, one end of said strip constituting an outer end and formed with an outwardly beveled inner surface adjacent the terminus thereof, the other end of said strip having a convex outer surface, said outer end spaced from the terminus thereof having a concavity in the inner surface thereof within which said convex outer surface snugly engages. 7
