A. DONNBLLY.
Patented Mar. 8, 1910.
UNITE SA Re 'irren SKIRT-MARKER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 8, 1910.
Application filed November 27, 1908. Serial No. 464,567.
70 all Iwhom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Anali DONNELLY, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Alleglieny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skirt-Markers, of which the following is a .pecificatiom reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to a skirt marker, and the primary object of my invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive device for dressniakers, skirt salesmen, and individual seamstresses by which skirts can be accurately shortened or cut to properly hang when worn.
Another object of my invention is to provide a skirt marker that will permit a woman to accurately measure her skirt when the same is to be altered, without assistance.
It is a well known fact that the operation of accurately shortening a skirt requires considerable skill and ordinarily the work of two parties, and it is in view of this fact that I have devised my marker, which renders the operation extremely easy.
IVith the above and other objects in View which will readily appear as the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be presently described and then claimed.
In the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my skirt marker, illustrating the manner of using the same, Fig. 2 is an enlarged front elevation of a portion of the same, Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross sectional view of the marker, and Fig. 4 is an enlarged front elevation of the chalk holder detached from the marker.
In the accompanying drawings, l designates a flat measuring stick graduated to represent thirty-six inches, the graduations starting at one inch at each end of the stick and terminating centrally of the stick at a graduation representing eighteen inches. This stick is usually of light and durable wood, similar to a yard stick.
Slidably mounted upon the stick l is a chalk holder comprising a rectangular metallic sleeve 2 having one end thereof provided with a transverse holder 8 for receiving a piece of chalk, said holder being made of malleable metal for frictionally holding the chalk. The ends of the sleeve are joined into flanges 2/ which are bent against the sleeve to form non-cutting edges therefor. The sleeve 2 is frictionally held in an adjusted position upon the stick. The ends of the holder 3 are formed into ianges which are bent against the sleeve, as at 4, to present smooth edges, whereby a person handling the holder will not be scratched or injured.
The manner of using the measure is as follows The chalk holder is moved to the upper end of the stick, and the lower end of the stick placed squarely on the floor. The operator then moves the marker around the skirt so as to mark he line 5 on the skirt, which line will be exactly 86 inches (the length of the stick) from the floor. Now if it is desired to have the lower edge of the skirt four inches from the floor, the operator takes the skirt and placing the same upon a'table, places one end of the stick on the line 5 and moves the chalk holder to within four inches of the other end lof the stick, and proceeds to mark the line 8, care being exercised to keep the one end of the stick at all times on the line 5 until the line 8 has been completed. The skirt can then be cut 0H on the line 8 and the lower edge thereof will be exactly four inches from the ioor entirely around the skirt.
It is obvious that the skirt will be accurately cut, and will consequently hang properly when worn.
The skirt marking device can be advantageously used for properly placing` bias bands or trimmings of any kind upon a skirt.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, is
A skirt marker comprising a graduated fiat supporting stick, a rectangular sleeve having edge flanges bent thereagainst and an integral holder comprising a pair of arcuate arms forming a split sleeve, said arms extending from one of the ends of the rectangular sleeve With the bore of said g In testimony whereof I aX my signature split sleeve held at llght angles to the bore i n the presence of two Witnesses.
