ADJUSTABLE DEVICE FOR OUTLINING PATTERNS FOR GARMENTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 383,926, dated June 5, 1888.

Application filed November 7, 1887. Serial No. 254,513. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, ANTON WiioH'rER, a subect of the King of Prussia, German Emperor,

residing at Berlin, in the German Empire, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Adjustable Devices for Outlining Patterns for Garments, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to produce a frame-work of bars easily adjustable at all points to the outline of a human body, and provided with fastenings for holding it in such adjustment,yet with the parts easily separable, in order that the outlines thereof may be traced 011 paper or other material to form the outlines of thepatterns by which a garment istobe made. This object I attain by means of the construction and combination of devices hereinafter set forth and claimed; also, for making adjustable model-busts my apparatus is excellently suited. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

In Figure l, A represents a front part, B a lateral part, and C a back part, of a waist. Fig. 2 represents an enlarged detail plan view of one of the flat bars a and a part of one of the flat bars c Fig. 3 represents a similar view of the other side of the same. Fig. 4. represents a longitudinal section on the line :0 w of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 represents a cross-section on the line 1; o of Fig. 2. Fig. 6 represents a similar section on the line w w of Fig. 3. Fig. 7 represents a plan view of one of the fiat bars a and a part of one of the flat bars a. Fig. 8 represents a longitudinal section on the line 3 y of Fig.7. Fig. 9 represents a plan view of parts of four of the plates a. Fig. 10 represents a vertical section of the same on the line 2 z of Fig. 9. Figs. 11 and 12 represent plan views of two of the fiat bars a a and the devices for locking them, Fig. 11 showing these latter in the'locking position and Fig. 12 in the position which does not lock. Parts of other fiat bars a a are shown also.

The apparatus consists of thin bands, a, of metal or any other suitable material.

The lower fiat bars or plates, a, have longitudinal slits b and small cross incisions 0. Through the longitudinal slits catch rivets (Z, riveted to the upper fiat bars or plates, a, and holding both bands together in such a manner that the same can be displaced in their longi tudinal direction. The adjustable parts are fastened by small springs e. The same are likewise riveted to a by means of strap e, and catch with theirhooks e into the cross-incisions c of the band a, fixing any given position of both bands. The strap 6 catches through the small cross-slitf of the flat bar or plate a, and serves not only to take hold of the spring in pressing same back, but also to secure a good working. In order to effect a simultaneous disengagement of several springs, the small eccentric, g, near each spring, has been attached to the band 0. By turning the eccentric the spring is pressed back,and remains in this disengaged position until the eccentric has been returned.

\Vhile in one extremity the fiat bars or plates are connected with each other so as to admit of being displaced in their longitudinal direction, they are in their other extremity revoluble on each other, connected with each other by means of rivets h, so that thereby perfect adj ustability of the apparatus in all directions is allowed.

By means of clasps i and knobs k, or other suitable appliances, the several parts, A, B, and G, are connected with each other.

When to be used,the apparatus is put around the body and closed by means of the locks t and knobs 70. If it does not accurately fit, the springs e, where necessary, are disengaged from the incisions c, and the fiat bars or plates concerned shoved somewhat asunder or together until the apparatus well fits. Then the connection is kept or fixed in position by making the springs c catch the incisions 0. Then the locks t are opened, and the several parts, A B O, placed upon paper,whereupon the outlines are traced. Thus closely-fitting cut patterns are obtained.

\Vhat I claim as my own is- 1. In an apparatus for pattern-n1aking,consisting of a number of jointed bars to fit the human figure, the combination of a series of fiat bars, aand a, sliding over each other and having longitudinal slots 1) and communicating transverse slots 0 formed therein, with springs e, attached to the bars a and provided with hooks 6 which enter said cross-slots to hold said bars a a in any position to which they may be adj usted,substantially as set forth.

2. In combination with a series of fiat bars,

a, and another series of flat bars, a movable ive springs for operating them substantially over each other and provided with longitudias set forth.

11:11 and transverse slots, as described, a series of springs attached to the bars of one series ANTON VACHTER' 5 and provided with hooks for engaging with the Witnesses:

transverse slots of the other series, and eccen- B. R01,

tries 51, arranged on hands a near the respect- A. KUHN.
