MARIE LOUISE SOULE, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
DRESSNIAKERS FITTING-SADDLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 782,364, dated February 14, 1905. Application filed December 3, 1903. Serial No. 183,644.
To all whom, t may concern:
Be it known that I, MARIE LOUISE SoULE, a citizen of the United States, residing at St.` Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Dressmakers Fitting-Saddles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention has relation to improvements in dressmalrers fitting-saddles; and it consists in the novel arrangement and combination of parts more fully set forth in` the specification and pointed out inthe claims.
y In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of the saddle. Fig. 2. is a middle vertical section on line 2 2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a top plan thereof. Fig. 4 is a top plan of the clamp carrying the bar to which the swinging arm constituting the arm-rest is pivoted. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the clamp. Fig. 6
isa detached face view of the front hingedA extension of the saddle. Fig. 7 is a horizon- `tal section' on line 7 7 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 8
shows the figure of a woman seated on the saddle.
The object of my invention is to construct a saddle for dressmakers which can be readily adjusted as to elevation not only according to the height of the person being fitted, but according to the character of the lit-ting the person is undergoing.
A further object is to provide such saddle with a convenient arm-rest to support the arm during the fitting operation.
In detail the invention may be described as follows: Y
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a suitable hollow standard provided with an enlarged base or casting 2, the latter having a lseries of dovetail sockets for the reception of the correspondingly-shaped tongues 3 of a series of supporting-legs 4. To the lower end of the base 2 is coupled a hollow tube or eX- tension 5, provided at a suitable point with a strap 6, to which is pivoted an operating-lever 7.A The lever 7 is provided with a pedal 8, by which it may be operated or forcedin wardly by the footof the operator, the base of thelever being normally forced outwardly by a spring 9, coiled about astem 10, loosely passing through the wall of the tube 5. The
end of the upper arm of the lever 7 terminatesin a linger 11, passing through the wall of the extension 5 below the base 2 and engaging a series of openings 12, disposed longitudinally along the periphery of a hollow stem 13, carried by the lower. end of a tube 14, telescoping interiorly with the standard 1, the tube l4`being inclosed in an outer tube 15, telescoping exteriorly 'with the standard 1, both tubes 14 15 being secured at their upper ends to the base ofthe horizontally-rotatable seat or saddle S in any approved or me- Y chanical manner. Enveloping the stein 13 and having its upper end bearing against the base of the inner -telescoping tube 14 and its lower end resting against the base 2 is a coiled spring 16, adapted by its resiliency to normally force the. tubesI 14 15 and seat S upward and likewise forming a cushion for the person supported in the seat S.
By tripping the pedal end of the lever 7 inwardly the finger 11 will be retracted from engagement with the stem 13, (the inner end of the stem l() limiting the oscillation of the lever to prevent the finger becoming disengaged from the tube 5,) permittingthe stem 13 to be depressed to any suitable elevation, (the spring 16 being compressed suiiciently to allow for such adjustment,) and when the stem 13 has been properly adjusted the lever y7 is released, when the finger 11 will engage the particular opening that happens to be opposite thereto, and thus lock the parts in their new position. To prevent the stem 13 from rotating ywithin the standard and to insure only longitudinal movement therefor, the said stem 13 is providedwitha longitudinal slot 17, in which operates a pin 18, carried by the extension-tube 5, said pin obviously preventing rotation of the stem 13, but leaving the seat S and parts carried thereby freely rotatable about said stem.
The seat S is provided with arear inwardlycurved wall S to compel the person seated therein to assume an erect position, and the front end of the seat is provided with a hinged inclined extension S", which can be swung downto facilitate the straddling of the forward end or neck S" of the saddle. The eX- tension S" is pivoted between two lugs or ears- 19 and is normally supported in an erect position by a sliding bolt 20, confined within the straps or staples 2l, the bolt being forced down until the lower end thereof engages the stationary portion of the seat. When the bolt is withdrawn so as to bring the lower end thereof above the hinge-axis of the said eX- tension S, the latter can be swung down for the purpose indicated. (See -dotted position, Fig. 2.)
Secured to the base of the standard 1 by a hinged sectional clamp 22, (the respective sections ofthe clamp snugly embracing said standard, their free ends being subsquently coupled by a pin 23,) one section of which has secured l thereto a depending leg or bar 24, to Whose lower end is pivoted the base ofthe lower section of a telescoping extensible rod 25,whose upper end is provided with a transverse handle 26, the whole constituting a convenient arm rest or support during the fitting operation. The person being fitted can swing the arm-rest to any necessary position, (see dotadjacent to the pivotal point of the rod 25,
said extension arresting the fall of the rod by the time the latter has swung far enough to engage said extension.
Having described my invention, what I claim is-4 f' l 1. In a fitting-saddle, asu-itable standard, a seat mounted thereon and comprising a body portion, a horizontal curved neck, a rear vertical wall, and a forward hinged extension carried by the neck, substantially as set forth.
I2. In a fitting-saddle, a seat provided with means for horizontal and vertical movement and comprising a body portion, a forwardlyprojecting neck, a hinged extension carried by the neck, and a rear upwardly-projecting wall carried by the body portion opposite the hinged extension, substantially as set forth.
3. In a fitting-saddle, astandard, a tube depending from the standard, an arm-rest composed of a series of telescoping sections pivotally connected to said tube, and adapted to sweep in a vertical and horizontal plane, a hinged and curved extension at the intersection of said tube and arm-rest forlimiting the movement of the arm-rest in a vertical plane, substantially as set forth.
4. A fitting-saddle comprising a hollow standard, legs for the same, a tubular lower extension for the standard, tubes telescoping interiorly and eXteriorly, with the standard, `a stem provided with a series of openings carried by the inner tube and operating in the standard and its extension, means for-preventing rotation of the parts within the standard, a suitable base for the standard, a spring interposed between the base and the lower end of the inner telescoping tube, and a level' pivoted to the extension and having a finger at the end of one arm thereofl passing through the wallof the extension and engagingthe series of openings formed in the stem, substantially as set forth.
5. In a fitting-saddle, a suitable standard, legs for the same, a lower extension depending from the base of the standard, a lever pi'voted to the extension, a pin secured to one arm of the lever and passing loosely through the wall of the extension, a spring encircling said pin, a finger at the free end of the opposite arm of the lever, adapted to operate in an opening formed in the wall of the extension, and a stem provided with a series of holes for the reception of the fingers, substantially as set forth.
6. In a fitting-saddle, a suitable standard, a seat therefor, a rigid rod or arm-rest pivoted in proximity to the standard, and a hinged and curved eXtensionadjacent to the pivotal point of the rod at floor for arresting the arm-rest when released, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereofl I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
