COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Cutting-out Angle Plate or Appliance for Use in Tailoring.
AUGUST NAGEL, G, Herresserstrasse, Oberrosla, bei Apolda, in the Empire of
Germany, Tailor's Cutter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
The invention relates to a cutting-out angle plate or appliance for the use of
gentlemens or ladies tailors, and it is constructed in such a manner as to permit
of all curves occurring in the cutting-out of garments being readily formed.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 illustrates the new angle plate or tool,
which is provided with its exterior sides m and n at right angles to one another,
the interior edges of the angle plate being formed with convenient curves a b c d.
Figures 2 to 6 inclusive of the drawings illustrate patterns which will serve to
demonstrate the use of the angle plate or cutting-out tool.
Figure 2 shows a blank for gentlemen's trousers, and for cutting out the
trousers the curves a and b in the angle plate serve for all curves in the trousers.
Figure 3 shows a vest pattern or blank having a high collar slope or opening,
the dotted line in the figure representing a vest with a low collar slope or opening.
The high slope is produced by the use of the curve d in the angle plate or cutting-
out appliance, while the dotted or low slope is fashioned from the curve a. The
front edge of the vest can conveniently be formed with the curve a, while for the
shoulder and arm hole the curves a and b are used, and the back and lower edges
of the vest can also be produced by the curve a.
Figure 4 shows a jacket pattern in which the front edge is formed with the
curve a: the lower edge is produced by the use of the curves a and d, while the
neck hole pattern is marked out with the curve c and the shoulder with the curve d.
The sleeve hole is provided by the use of curves b and c, and for the waist and hips
the curve a is conveniently used.
In Figure 5 the back part of a jacket or coat is illustrated, and the curves a
and d and b are used to produce the pattern required.
Figure 6 shows a sleeve for a coat or jacket, and to obtain the pattern for the
arm-hole the curve b of the angle plate is twice used, while to shape the front and
back of the sleeve the curve a is used. The curve c is applied to the pattern to
form the arm-hole in small sleeves.
By the use of the angle plate or appliance the inconvenience at present
experienced by cutters in both gentlemen's and ladies' tailoring in having to pro-
duce curves or shapes by free-hand drawing is entirely overcome, and a ready
means obtained for producing fashionable shapes in all kinds of garments.
