oFrIcE;
GARME T-roam.
Specification of Letters Patent.
' Patented May 5, '1908.
' Application filed, December 13, 1907. Serial No. 406,285.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY 'FRANKEL, a citizen of the United States residing at New York, New York county, New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements' in- Garment-Forms, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to garment forms, and particularly to forms for the fitting or exhibiting of ladies garments. As shown, it is of a design adapted for the fitting or exhibiting of shirtwaists.
The object of the invention is to provide an efi'ective appliance over which a shirtwaist may be. readily fitted and to which it may be secured in a simple, neat and attractive manner without the necessity of using pins or similar fastenings. Heretofore in the exhibiting of shirtwaists on forms of this general character, it has been necessary to turn under and pin the lower edge or'skirt of the garment, not only for the'purpose of holding the'garment properly in place, but for the purplose of adjusting it to remove wrinkles.
e proper holding of the garment is necessary to the favorable exhibition of the same. To 'acomplish this in the past much labor has been required, while the use of pins and like fasteningshave punctured or otherwise injured the fabric, so as to reduce its value. By my invention the amount of labor required to 'roperly' dress the form has been materially e'ssened, while the danger of injury to the article has been entirely. eliminated.-
Furthermore, when the article is ready for exhibition it appears in a formrnuch more I attractive than possible with devices of this character as heretofore elrgiiilployed. Whereas, heretofore it required s ed labor to properly adjust a waist on a dummy form, the degree of skill re uired by the present invention is substantia y less.
In the'drawings, Figure 1, is a side elevation of the form complete; Fig. 2 is a'sectional view of a portion of the form shown in Fi 1.
represents a bracket or base of any suitable construction by which the'form is supported.
2 is asupporting rod extending upwardly from the base.
3" is a form, the body of which is .of the desired contour, depending upon the artlcle to be exhibited. The body 3 is adjustable upon therod 2 and may be secured by'setscrew 3 the proper appearance.
article being exhibited is shown at 5 in Fig. 80
4 is a shield or hip member'which is preferably mounted to slide on the rod 2 and to be locked thereon by set-screw 4?. is adapted to the lower part of waist of the body- 3, conforming properly to the lines. thereof. 7
in operation, the Waist portion of the arment is placed over the body 3, the 'shie d .4
being'then'in a lowered position (see dotted 6.5
lines, Fig. 1). The lower edge, of the skirt of the waist is then merely turned in and the' shield this brou ht up so as to frictionally hold the material 0% the Waist between its upper edge and the body 3 (see Fig. 2). This frictional engagement of said material should be sufiicient to hold it against accidental dis: placement. The operator may now reach up under the shield 4 (which has proper-handholes or openings in its underside) and by rasping the edge of the garment he may quic ly shift it around and adjust it so as to remove wrinkles. and give to the article being exhibited A portion of the 2. By this arrangement the edge of the waist is hidden from view and a superior display is afforded. The presence of the shield furnishes at once a handsome finishingpiece or may be extended in area to provide a hip.
support upon which to display the skirt.
In the preferable construction the engaging edges of the body 3 and shield 4 are covered with a'suitable material, preferably of fabric which will not cut or injure the material of the article being exhibited.
What I claim is: i
1. In a dress form, a body portion, a support therefor, a shield conforming to the outne of the lower part of the body portion and adjustable on said support, said body portion and shield cooperating to frictionally hold the edge of a garment mountedupon said body portion for fitting or display.
n a dress form, a support, a body portion adjustable thereon,a second portion conformed to the lower part of the body portion and adjustable on said support and cooperating with the first portion to frictionally hold a garment mounted upon said body portions.
HARRY, FRANKEL.
