RE VOLVING ME ASURIN G-STAND Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 12, 1909.
Application filed July 1a, 1908. Serial No. name.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that .1, CHARLES EDWIN THIES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Traverse City, in the county of Grand Traverse, State of Michigan, have invented dressmakers comprising a base having rota-' tably mounted thereon a platform, which stand has detachably connected thereto standards carrying a hand, rail and mounted upon the said base is an adjustable measuring device whereby the length of a ladys skirt can. be exactly measured and marked so that when the bottom of the skirt is turned up and stitched the said skirt will hang evenly throughout its bottom edge.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a revoluble stand and adjustable measuring means to determine the proper and uniform length of a ladys skirt to sim-- plify the dressmakers work in getting the bottom of a ladys dress skirt even and of the same length all around.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction, com bination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings which disclose the preferred form of embodiment of the invention.
It is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications may be made such as come properly within the scope of the claims hereunto appended without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side view in front elevation of the invention. Fig. 2 is a to plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a longitudina sectional view through the base and revolving platform. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the measuring device detached from the base. Fig. 5 is a side view showing the application of the device.
Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawings.
In the drawings, the numeral 7 designates a cylindrical base having a flat top 8 on which is mounted circumferentially thereof a plurality of casters 9 upon which is rotatably mounted a platform 10, the latter having a depending annular flange 11 overhanging and surrounding the upper edge of the said base. Mounted centrally on the top 8 of the base is a ball caster 12 which latter fits into a socketed plate 13 secured centrally to the underface of the platform so as to form the axis of rotation of the latter and to re vent displacement of the same upon the p latform.
A distance below the top 8 of the base and secured to the outer face of the latter are sockets lei detachably receiving the lower ends of standards 15 vertically disposed and projecting upwardly from the base above the rotary piatform and which standards have connected to their upper ends a hand rail 16 which latter extends around the base a greater portion of its diameter and is adapted to be grasped or gripped by a person standing upon a rotatable platform 10 mounted upon the base.
Secured to the outer face of the base 7 adjacent the top thereof and vertically disposed thereon is a late 17 having in its center a longitudinal dove-tailed groove 18 in which is slidably mounted a correspond ingly shaped arm 19 having an inwardly directed right angular extension 20 the latter overhanging and superposed a slight (lis tance above the rotatable platform. On the outer face of the said plate 17 throughout the length of the same are a plurality of scale or graduating marks 21 forming a rule or gage which marks are adapted to register with corresponding graduating or scale marks 22 on the arm 19 so as to determine accurately the adjustment of the same. Mounted in the arm 19 is a set screw 23 which binds against the base of the groove in the plate 17 so as to lock the arm in an adjusted position.
Upon the extension 20 are slidably mounted two parallel vertical short standards 24 and 25 respectively each having at its lower end a sleeve 26 to connect the said standards for sliding adjustment on the extension 20 of the arm. In the sleeves 26 of the said standards are set screws 28 for locking the latter in their adjusted positions on the standards. On the rear vertical standard 24 is an outwardly projecting horizontally disposed backing plate 29 having a sleeve 30 surrounding the said standard to permit vertical adjustment of the plate on the said standard and carried by the sleeve 30 is a set screw 31 to lock the plate in its adjusted position.
On the front vertical standard 25 is mounted a guide bar or piece 32 the latter having a sleeve 33 surrounding the said standard 25 to permit vertical adjustment of the said guide piece on the standard and which sleeve carries a set screw 34 to lock the guide piece in its adjusted position.
In operation the person on whom the dress is to be fitted is placed upon the rotatable platform' 10 wearing the skirt to be gaged and marked. The arm 19 is adjusted in the plate 17 by raising or lowering the same to the desired extent reckoned by the graduating marks 21 and 22 on the said plate and arm by registering then the short standards are adjusted upon the extension 20 to their proper point and there fixed by the set screws. The plate 29 and the guide piece or bar 32 are adjusted on the said standards 24 and 25 so as to have the same in alinement and to permit the bottom edge of the skirt to be introduced between the said guide piece or bar 32 and the plate 29 whereby the said guide piece or bar in its adjusted or elevated position will serve as a rule to guide the marker during the slowly revolving movement of the platform as the skirt passes between the plate 29 and guide piece or bar 32 whereby the said skirt can be evenly and uniformly marked by the operator to indicate the point of fold for the bottom hem of the skirt.
What is claimed is 1. A support of the class described comprising a ase, a revoluble platform mounted upon said base, a scale plate secured to said base adjacent the platform, an arm ad I justably mounted in the scale plate and having graduating marks to register with the scale of said plate, an inwardly directed right angular extension and superposed over the platform, short standards adjustably mounted on the extension, a backing plate adjustably mounted on one of the standards, and a guide piece adjustably mounted on the other standard.
' 2. A support of the class described comprising a base, a revoluble platform mounted upon said base, a scale plate secured to said base adjacent the platform, an arm adjustably mounted in the scale plate and having graduating marks to register with the scale of said plate, an inwardly directed right angular extension and superposed over the platform, short standards adjustably mounted on the extension, a backing plate adjustably mounted on one end of the standards, a guide piece adjustably mounted on the other standard and a detachable hand rail above said platform and connected to the base.
In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES EDWIN THIES.
