SIMON CHRISTINSEN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
eARMENT-FITTING PATTERN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 526,378, dated September' 25, 1894. Application filed June 8, 1893. y Serial No. 476,928. (No model.)
To a/ZZ whom t may concern: attached to vpins F projecting from some of i Be it known that I, SIMON` CHRISTIANSEN,
of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Garment-Fitting Pattern, of which the fol-f lowing is a full, clear, and exact description. The invention relates to garment fitting patterns such as shownand described in the Letters Patent of the United States No. 489,793, granted to me January 10, 1893.
The object of -the present invention is to provide a new and improved garment fitting pattern arranged to facilitate the taking of the proper measures of the human body, and to permit of conveniently cuttingy the ma terial from the pattern obtained.
The invention consists of certain parts and details and combinations of theV same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed-out in the claim.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a rear view of the improvement as applied. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the improvenient detached from the body and showing the edges for marking the garment. Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan view of one of the shoulder strap connections; and Fig. 4 is a sectional side elavation of the same on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3.
The improved garment fitting pattern is provided with a series of plates A, B, C, D and E, having an angular outline, and made of leather, fabric, paper or other suitable material which readily conforms to the shape of the person to be measured for a dress. The plate A forms the front or breast part of the dress, while the plate E forms themiddle back band F is crossed over the shoulders and is the plates. In a like manner the elastic band. G is attached to the plates by engaging apertures in the band with pins on the plates.
The lower waistband His secured on a sliding connection H -fitted to slide in a slot H2 arranged in the plate D, so as to adjust the waistband to the proper place according to the wearers waist. The band H isadapted to l. be fastened in place over the several plates by engaging apertures inthe band with pins projecting from the several plates.
Each of the plates is provided on one edge with an adjustablestrip I, preferably made of the same material as thatof which the plates are made, each strip being held on tabs J Iittedto slide in suitable guideways K cut,
in or secured on the several plates. The outer edge of each strip I is adapted to conform to i the edge of the next following plate at the B2 and B3 being formed by arecess cut in the plate, as indicated in Fig. 2. On-the inner edge of the forked arm B2 is arrangeda strip I similar to the strips I and adapted to abut against theinner edge of the other fork'ed arm B3 when the pattern is applied. The outer edge B of the forked arm B2 has its lower part formed on a strip I2 which is an integral part of the arm B2, but is held on tabs .I fitted to slide in guidewaysK so as to permit of adjusting the lower part of the edge B to a nicety.
It is understood that the strip I of the plate C abuts with its lower part against the outer edge of the strip I2, which outer edge of the latter strip forms part of the edge B. In a similar manner the lower part of the edge C of the plate C is arranged on a strip I3 held adjustably by tabs engaging guideways in the said plate C, the said strip I2 being engaged at its outer edge by the lower part of the strip IOO I tor the plateD at the time the pattern is applled. The plate D is similarly arranged, inasmuch as the lower part of its edge D is arranged on an adjustable strip I4 similar to the strips I3 and I2, and the outer edge of this strip 14 is adapted to be engaged by the outer edge of the lower part of the strip I for the back plate E.
In order to form the shoulder and neck I connect with the upper ends of the strips I for the plates A, B, D and E adjustable strips L, L', L2 and L3 respectively, supported on tabs J fitted to slide in guides N attached to the plates, as is plainly illustrated in Figs. 2, 3, and 4. The shoulder strip for each plate is made of several sections adapted to be moved one on the other, so as to extend or shorten the saine according to the height of the shoulder or neck to be measured and I itted.
Now, when the several plates are applied to the body of the person by means of the elastic bands F, G and H, then the several' strips I, I', 12, 13, I4 are adjusted until the c0r' responding edges meet and the shoulder strips are likewise moved outward so as to obtain the proper line for the scy'e of the sleeve and the top shoulder line as well as the line for above described. When this has been accomplished the operator removes theelastic bands F, G and H, to take oft theplates A, B, C, D and E, and then places the latter on the material and traces along the edges of the strips and the edge of the plate opposite the strip, to obtain the proper shape for the several pieces forming the dress.
Having thus fully described my invention, I' claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- A plate for a garment fitting pattern, made of a flexible material and having an edge with an angular outline, said plate being provided with an incision that is essentially par allel to the adjacent portion of the edge of the plate, so as to form a flexible strip integral with the plate and connected thereto at one end only, tabs connected to the said strip and adj ustably secured to the plate to permit the, strip to be adjusted toward and from the plate proper, another series of tabs arranged on the 'edge of the plate on they opposite side to the said integral strip, and adj ustably secured to the plate, all the tabs beingv @SSentially perpendicular to the contour of the plate at the point where they are located., and a liexible marginal strip carried by the said second series ot' tabs, as and for the purpose set forth.
SIMON CHRISTI'ANSEN.
