-
This Invention has for its object improved mechanical contrivances for adjusting
the position or height of drapers and other busts or holders upon the pole or
upright of the stand which supports the same.
For this purpose the position or height of the bust or holder upon the pole is
adjusted by means of a screw which passes through a screw nut fixed on the top of
the pole within the interior of the bust.
The top of the screw passes out at the top of the bust to which it is connected so
that it can be readily revolved by hand without revolving the bust which is guided
upon the pole as it rises or falls.

Square Clerkenwell in the County of Middlesex Drapers Bust Manufacturers do
hereby declare the nature of our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE STANDS
OR SUPPORTS OF DRAPERS AND OTHER BUSTS FORMS OR HOLDERS FOR EXHIBITING
WEARING APPAREL OR OTHER ARTICLES" and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This Invention has for its object improved mechanical contrivances for adjusting
the position or height of drapers and other busts or holders upon the pole or
upright of the stand which supports the same.
For this purpose the position or height of the bust or holder upon the pole is
adjusted by means of a screw a which forms part of the pole and passes through a
screw nut a fixed on the top of the part 6 of the pole as represented in Figure 1 of
the drawings bereto annexed. The top of the part 6 of the pole may pass into the
interior of the bust if desired.
The top of the screw a passes out at the top of the bust c to which it is connected
_so_that it can be readily revolved by hand by taking hold of the handle or knob a²
without revolving the bust c which is guided upon-the-pole-b-as-it-rises-or-falls..
Or the screw a may be formed on the top of the pole b as shown at Figure 2
and passed through a screw nut a free to revolve in the central or other part of
the bust c.
The screw nut al is connected by a tube a³ and knob or handle a³ at
the top by which means the bust can be raised and lowered so as to adjust its
position upon the pole bas required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
The improved arrangement and construction of the stands or supports of drapers
and other busts forms or holders so that the height of the bust or holder c may
be readily adjusted upon the pole or stand b by means of the screw a substantially
in the manner hereinbefore described and represented, in Figures 1 and 2 of the
drawings hereto annexed.
