Application filed November 29, 190;. Serial No. 133,237. No model.)
. all whomit may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JAMES M. ADAMSOms citizen of the United States, residing-ct the cityof Philadelphia, in the county of Philedelphis and State-of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tailors TapeMessnres, of which the following is specification.
My invention has relation to a tapemeasore for use in tailoring, and in such connection it relates to the construction and erreneement of such a tape-measure.
iieretofore in tailoring considerable difficulty end eqnent inaccuracy have arisen in the etiem t in measuring the ports of the M to he by the garment by reason e f; one end of thetape d ioioe the portion from which the ent- Wes to be taken with one hand and the body of the tape then extended with the other hand to the portion Where the measurement ended. In coat or waist fitting espcoieily the measurements across the shoulders, down. the back, and along the sleeves necessitated frequent changes of the tape and consequent annoyance, inaccuracy, and the expenditure of much time and labor. I
The principal object of my invention is to provide tape-measure adopted at one end to he ii ettsched or detached to orfroni 95 means. The 11d scope of my invention Wiii. oe mo: rnliy nnderetood from the followingdescription, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, in whici1-- Figure l is a front eievationsl view of a portion of e tape-measure end of the festeriing means secured at one end thereof, said measure means embodying main features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear eievetionel View thereof. Fig. 3 is side elevations! view, enlarged, of the measure with the festoning means illustrated in section. Fig. is rear eicretionel view of e modified form of my invention; and Fig. 5 is a side elevetionel view showing the fastening means of Fig. 4: separated from the tape and partly sectioned.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 3 of the drewings,ct represents a tape-measure provided at or near one end with a. button 1), preferably passed through the tape and projecting from one face thereof. The fastening means comprises a. tab (Z, formed of e strip of flexible material, such as leather, doubled to encircle the body e oi? a. safety-pin or clasp e. The tsh (Z also carries a socketf, arranged to re ceive the button orstudb of the tape a. The
stud 1) turns loosely in the socketf, so es to permit the tape to swing Within the socketf, with the stud h as the axis.
In Figs. 4 end 5 the construction of the tape (Lend stud or button I) is the same as in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. The fastening means, however, consists of a spring-clip d, having one of its jaw members (Z elongated and formed with a, socket f, corresponding to the socket f and arranged to receive the button b and to permit said button 12 to turn freely therein. The other jew member (1 is bent or curved. to form a, means whereby the spring-clip (1 may, if desired, be grasped by the operator during the measuring operation.
In operation the safety-pin e or clip (1 is first secured at the point from which the measurement is to be taken; and the tape a is then secured either to the leather tab (5 or jew member 052, upon either of which it be swung, the button Z) turning freciyin the socket orf' in a piano parallel with the face of'the garment to be measured. The measure a may be readily detached from the tab d or clip d without removing the fastening means from the garment, or both tape-mess are and fastening means may he removed from the garment without disconnecting the tape from the fastening means, asoccasion requires.
Having thus described the nziturecnd ob ject of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A teiiors measure comprising a tape harvm mama In testimony whereof I have hemunto set mysiguamra in the presence 0f fiwomuhscl'iblug witnessw.
