vemtoz UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANK MASTRANGELO, 0F FITCHBURG, MASSACHUSETTS;
TAILORS RULE.
Application filed March 5. 1919.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK MASTRANGELO, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fitchburg, in the county of \Vorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tailors Rules, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention rel-ates to an improved tailors rule and an object of the invention is to provide a rule particularly adapted for laying out or marking the lower ends of the legs of trousers, whereby the desired cut and shape of the lower ends of the legs of a pair of trousers may be attained.
A further object of the invention is to provide a rule having one end provided with a gradual compound curved portion, against the edge of which the tailors chalk may operate, for marking the desired curvature or shape of the lower end of the legs of a pair of trousers.
A further object of the invention is to construct this gradual compound curved end portion in such wise, that the desired scoop or arch of the front portion of the lower end of the trouser leg may be marked.
A further object of the invention is to provide a scale of graduations on one end of the rule, to be used for gaging the height of the scoop or arch in the front portion of the lower end of the trouser leg, in order to more efficiently conform to and fall gracefully over the instep of the foot.
A further object of the invention is to provide a rule with a straight part at its other end portion, either edge of which may be engaged by the tailors chalk, for marking the legs of the trousers straight across, for indicating the points on which the legs of the trousers may be folded, to form cuffs.
A further object of the invention is to provide meanson the straight end portion of the rule (which is used for marking straight transverse lines) whereby the lower ends of the legs of the trousers may be marked to indicate points for folding, so as to provide a French cuff.
Consequently, it is the object of the present invention to provide a device, whereby markings for regular or French cufl's may be indicated, and it is to be noted that in using this device for marking the legs of the trousers for French cuffs, less material Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 26, 1919.
Serial No. 280,802.
is employed to form the cuff than when marking and constructing aregular cufl'.
A further object of the invention is to provide a rule having scales of graduations adjacent its longitudinal edges, which may not only be used for measuring purposes for marking the lengths of articles, but may also be used for measuring the lower end of the trouser leg trans\"crsely, in order to lay out the desired width of the leg of the trousers.
While the present design of the invention is deemed preferable, it is obvious th t the same is susceptible to alterations, in the minor details, and the right to these alterations claimed provided they are comprehended within the scope of what is claimed.
The invention comprises further features and combination of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a view showing the rule em ployed for marking indications, whereby the leg of the trousers may be folded to form a scoop in the front lower portion thereof, to fall gracefully over the instep of the foot.
Fig. 2 shows a lower portion of a trouser leg showing the form of scoop.
Fig. 3 shows the rule applied to the trouser leg, whereby chalk markings on the trouser legs may be made, to indicate where the leg of the trousers is adapted to be folded, for forming the various cufl's.
Fig. 4 is a view of the lower end of tho trouser leg, showing the markings as having been made adjacent the opposite edges of the rule at points (3 and (3 in order to form a regular cuff.
Fig. 5 is a view of the lower end of a trouser leg, showing the markings as having been ruled adjacent the edges 6, 6" and (3 of the rule, whereby a French cu'fl' (when short of material) may be folded on said markings.
Fig. (5 is a view of the lower end of a trouser leg, showing the chalk markings as having been made by drawing chalk along the edges 6", (3 and 6, whereby a French cuff (when plenty of material is available) may be folded on the markings indicated by the transverse line.
Referring more especially to the drawings, 1 designates a rule, which may be constructed of any suitable material, either wood or celluloid or similar material, preferably celluloid, which may be any suitable length.
This rule at one end is provided with a gradual compound curved portion 2, and it is obvious that a tailors chalk may be drawn along or adjacent either edge of this portion, to make the markings on the legs of the trousers, whereby the trouser legs may be folded according to the markings, in order to form a scoop in the front lower portion of the leg. of the trouser. This scoop is provided for the purpose of permitting the legs of the trousers to fall gracefully over the instep of the foot. Ad acent the upper and lower edges of the gradual compound curved portion, the rule is provided with scales of graduations 3 and 4:. It is obvious that these scales extend the full length of the rule, and the graduations thereof are in succession in opposite directions, as shown.
The rule at the other end thereof is straight, and this straight portion 5 is provided with an elongated slot 6. This slot is offset from the center of the rule, that is, transversely, thereby providing a wide portion 7 on one side of the slot and a narrow portion 8 on the opposite side of the slot. The'end edge portion 9 of the rule beyond one end of the slot is provided with a scale of graduations 10. This scale may be used for any purpose to which it may be applied.
The opposite edges of the rule are provided with graduations 3 and 3 and are numbered in succession in opposite directions, and it is to be noted that the extremity of the gradual compound curved portion of the rule, upon both faces thereof is provided with a plurality of diagonally arranged graduations 3 and 3. These gradnations radiate from the lower corner of the rule, that is to say, at the extremity of the compound curved portion of the rule. These graduationsfl and 3 are designed for the purpose of gaging the position of the rule transversely; In other words, the rule may be placed so that the end edge of the compound curved portion of the rule will register flush with the forward edge of the leg of the trousers, whereby the tailors chalk may be drawn along and adjacent the lower edge of the compound curved portion, so that the trouser leg can be folded on the marking to provide a deep scoop. If it is desired to attain a different marking to that just previously described, then the rule may be disposed so that the central line of either of the graduations 3 and 3 may register flush with the forward edge of the leg of the trousers. Then it is obvious that by arranging the innermost line of the graduation 3 with the forward edge of the leg of the trousers, the angle of the rule may be changed. These several methods in connecscoop tion with the graduations 3 or 3 are designed to control the angular position of the rule, to provide the markings, for scooping the lower end of the leg of the trousers. The graduations 3 and 3* will gage the portion of the rule, so as to determine height of the of the forward portion of the trouser leg. After which the chalk may be drawn along the upper and lower edges of the rule. To indicate the marks or scored lines a and Z) in Fig. at the tailors chalk maybe drawn along the edges 6 and 6 after which the trouser leg may be folded in order to'construct a regular cuff. In order to indicate the marks or scored lines 0, d and g in Fig.
5, whereby a French cuff (when there is insufficient material) may be made, the tailors chalk may be drawn along the edges 6 6 and 6. When there is plenty or sufficient material the trouser leg may be marked or provided with the scored lines, h, is and m in Fig. 6. These scored lines or marks may be made by drawing the tailors chalk along the edges 6, 6 and 6 so that the trouser leg may be folded to make a French cuff.
When employing the straight portion of the rule for making indications on the lower ends of the trouser legs, for indicating the fold of aregular or French cuff, the compound curved portion may be used as a handle to be grasped by the tailor, when disposing the straight portion in various positions.
It is tobe noted that it is the aim of this invention to construct the rule of a width equal to the depth of a cuff, and it is also the aim that when constructing a French cuff when the material is scarce, the slot 6 in practice should at all times be one-fourth the width of the rule. This is maintained to be the case, so as to construct the folds of the trouser leg on the markings c and d.
The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is z 7 1. A tailors rule, comprising an elongated body, one end thereof having a gradual compound curved portion, whereby markings on trouser legs may be indicated to form a scoop in the front portion of the trousers leg by drawing a tailors chalk adjacent the. opposite edges of the compound curved portion, and the opposite edges of the body having scales of graduations arranged in opposite directions, the extremity of the compound curved end portion of the rule upon each face thereof being provided with graduations extending radially from the lower corner of the compound curved portion, whereby the angular disposition of the rule may be changed relative to the forward edge of the leg of the trousers, thereby governing the height of the scoop.
2. A tailors rule comprising an elongated body, one end thereof having a gradual compound curved portion, whereby lines of indication ma be marked on the trouser leg to indicate t 1e form of scoop, by drawing a tailors chalk adjacent the opposite edges of the compound curved portion, the opposite faces of the compound curved portion immediately adjacent the extremity thereof having graduations extending diagonally from the lower corner of the compound curved portion adapted for cooperation with the forward edge of a trouser leg for gaging the position of the compound curved portion, whereby the height of the scoop may be governed.
3. A tailors rule comprising an elongated body, one end thereof having a gradual compound curved portion, whereby lines of indication may be marked on the trouser leg to indicate the form of scoop, by drawing a tailors chalk adjacent the opposite edges of the compound curved portion, the opposite faces of the compound curved portion immediately adjacent the extremity thereof having graduations extending diagonally from the lower corner of the compound curved portion adapted for cooperation with the forward edge of a trouser leg for gaging the position of the compound curved portion, whereby the height of the scoop may be governed, the opposite faces of the compound curved portion adjacent its upper and lower edges having scales of graduations, artieularly adapted for measuring the wit th of the trouser leg.
4. A tailors rule comprising an elongated body having a straight portion at one end provided with scales of graduations on its opposite faces adjacent its upper and lower edges, the end of the straight portion being rectangular and having scales of graduations on its opposite faces adjacent said end edge and at right angles to the first mentioned graduations, said straight portion having an elongated slot rectangular at its opposite ends and extending in parallelism with the opposite edges of the straight portion and being positioned transversely offset from the center of the width of the straight portion, thereby providing the straight portion with wide and narrow parts above and below the slot, whereby marking indications for regular and French cufi's may be made on the lower ends of the legs of the trousers, the other end of the body having a curved part, to be gripped, when using the slotted straight portion to mark the indications on the trouser leg.
In testimony whereof I hereunto ailix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
