the said device being so organized as to adapt it for connection to the members,

which compose theform, in as to render the such a manner said members adjustable,

relative to each other, in a variety of directions.

tion and finally claim the I will now proceed to describe my invennovel features thereof, reference being had to the accompanying wherein Figure-1 is a front View plied thereto; Fig. 2 is a thereof on a reduced scale;

of a bust-form,

having my improved adjustable device aptop plan view Fig. 3 is an enlar 'ed fra 'mentar sectional detail view taken on a line aa in Fi 2 lookin in the direction of the arrow;

my improved device is Referring to the drawing, 1 indicates a bust-form composed of a central member 2, a left side member 3, and a right side member 4: the said member ably connected by a toggle mg. an arm 6 and an arm 7 nected together as at 8, eac

being pivotally conneeted ends to the central member the arms 7 on one side, bein nected to the member 4, an

is quite apparent that the the other side to the member 3. The outer ends of the said arms are pivotally connected to the members of the form by a" screw 10, which passes through a washer 11 and the outer end of its corresponding toggle arm (see Fig. 5), the said outer ends I of the toggle arms being secured, or loosened, by a wing-nut 12.

The inner'meeting ends of the toggle-leprovided with serrated surfaces 13 and 14, adapted to interlock, the

inner end of the arm 7 being provided with a bolt '15 adapted to pass through the adjacent end of the arm 6 and receive a securing wing-nut 16.- Both the front and back of toggle arms To spread the form to produce abroader shoulder, the wing-nut 16 may be backed whereby the arms (3 and 7 can be spread, thereby allowing the members of the form to be separated as shown in Fig. 6. After the proper adjustment has been attained, the wing-nut 16 can be manipulated .to cause the connecting-ends of the arms 6 and 7 to interlock. an angular adjustment that can be produced. The dotted lilies in Fig. 3 'show aalso be proivotally connecters 2,3 and 4 it said arms will spread apart, as shown in Fig. 6, to eflect a broader shoulder. Should either p of the The dotted lines'in Fig. 1 show members 3 and 4 be moved upwardly (as .shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3), in order to .raise the shoulder, the toggle connection 5 will accommodate itself to such movement; likewise the toggles 5 will accommodate themselves-to any angular movement of the side members. 1 v

Having now described my invention, what I claim and desire to: secure by Letters Patent is r '1. In a bust-form comprising a plurality of members, adapted for adjustment, 2 plurality of arms members, said arms being aidj-ustably connected, and means adapted to lock said'arins when adjusted, said means comprising serpivotally connected to said.

rated surfaces on the meeting ends of said arms and a bolt and nut adapted to secure the serrated ends of the arms together.

2. In a bust-form, comprising a-plurality of members, a plurality of adjustable pivotally connected arms, the meeting ends ofthe arms being provided With serrated surfaces adapted to interlock, the outer end of each of said arms-being pivotally connected to its adjacent bust-form member, and means for releasably binding the pivoted ends of iaid arms to their respective bust-form memers.

3. In a bust-itorm, a central member and separate side members, a toggle-device connecting said members,

one arm of said toggle device being pivotally connected to said central bust-member, the other of said toggle arms being connected to its corresponding bust-form side member, the free meeting connected ends of the tog 1e arms being pro vided with toothed sur%- ces adapted to in terlock, the other ends of the toggie-arms.

being provided With releasable binding devices attached to their respective bust-form members.
