Abstract

A working device for dress patterns in the form of a template is provided. The template comprises exchangeable panels which are relatively displaceable on a master panel via slots and can be locked in their adjusted positions by means of retaining elements and is thus an individual reusable template for dress patterns, which makes it possible to achieve an accurate fit which can be changed from time to time according to requirements.

Claims8

Dependent claims

A dress pattern template for transferring a pattern onto paper or fabric in the production of bodice parts of garments, said template comprising:

(a) a longitudinally extending master panel, having upper and lower sides and lateral sides extending between said upper and lower sides, including first guide means at one of said lateral sides for marking lines for a portion of the center seams and second guide means at said upper side adjacent said one lateral side for marking lines for the necklines and the adjacent portion of the shoulder seams;
(b) an upper panel, having upper and lower sides and lateral sides extending between said upper and lower sides, including third guide means at said upper side for marking lines for the remainder of the shoulder seams and fourth guide means at one of said lateral sides for marking lines for arm holes;
(c) first adjustable mounting means for adjustably securing said upper panel to said master panel such that said upper panel extends beyond the lateral side opposite said one lateral side of said master panel and said second and third guide means for marking lines for the shoulder seams extend in a straight line, said first mounting means being arranged to guide adjustable movement of said upper panel along a path transverse to the longitudinal axis of said master panel and substantially parallel to said second and third guide means for marking lines for the shoulder seams such that said second and third guide means are maintained in a straight line;
(d) a lower panel, having upper and lower sides and lateral sides extending between said upper and lower sides, including fifth guide means at one lateral side for marking lines for the remainder of the center seams, a sixth guide means at the other lateral side opposite said one lateral side for marking lines for the side seams, and seventh guide means at said lower side for marking the hem;
(e) second adjustable means for adjustably securing said lower panel to said master panel such that said lower panel extends beyond said lower side of said master panel, said fifth guide means is substantially parallel to said first guide means, and at least a portion of the upper side of said lower panel overlaps said lower side of said upper panel, said second mounting means being arranged to guide adjustable movement of said lower panel along both paths substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said master panel and paths transverse to the longitudinal axis of said master panel.
