Garment measurer
A device for reading measures of a body for making clothing in general includes an arm; measuring elements configured to take measurements of the clothing, wherein the arm is telescopic in such a way to result selectively extendable or retractable; and a system to fix the arm at a chosen length in a way to allow making, in correspondence of the chosen length, through the measuring elements, a reading of at least a measure of the body.
1. A device for reading measures of a body of a person to make trousers, comprising:
an arm ( 2 ), wherein said arm ( 2 ) is and comprises a fixed base portion ( 4 ) and an upper portion ( 5 ) that is selectively extendible or retractable from and to an inside of said fixed base portion; and
means ( 11 , 13 , 15 , 18 ) to take measurements of the trousers,
a graduated marker ( 11 ) placed along said upper portion ( 5 ) and configured to indicate a reached length in correspondence of extraction or retraction of said upper portion ( 5 ) in respect to said fixed base portion ( 4 ),
wherein said means ( 11 , 13 , 15 , 18 ) to take measurements of the trousers comprise at least a supporting element ( 15 ) having a device ( 13 , 14 , 18 , 19 ) that allows a reading of one or more of a length or a width of the body,
wherein said supporting element ( 15 ) is placed at or in proximity of an upper end of the upper portion ( 5 ),
wherein said device ( 13 , 14 , 18 , 19 ) comprises at least a reference lever ( 13 ) configured to indicate a position of the crotch of the person by extending or retracting the arm,
wherein said device ( 13 , 14 , 18 , 19 ) further comprises an engaging member ( 14 ) firmly connected to said supporting element ( 15 ) to receive and removably engage said reference lever ( 13 ),
wherein said supporting element ( 15 ) further comprises a site ( 17 ) positioned above said engaging member and configured to receive a measuring tape ( 18 , 19 ) for taking a measurement of a circumference in correspondence of a chosen length of the arm, said measuring tape being extendible and rewrappable,
further comprising means ( 6 ) to fix said arm at a chosen length such to allow a user to take, in correspondence of said length and through said means ( 11 , 13 , 15 , 18 ) to take measurements, a reading of at least a measure on the body.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein said fixed base portion ( 4 ) comprises a supporting base ( 3 ) configured to place said arm ( 2 ) on a ground in upward emerging position.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein said reference lever is integrated in said supporting element ( 15 ).
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein said engaging member ( 14 ) is magnetic and the lever ( 13 ) is metallic such to remain into fixedly coupled thereto.
5. The device of claim 4 , further comprising a second engaging member ( 12 ) disposed on the fixed base portion ( 4 ), said second engaging member being configured to receive and engage the reference lever ( 13 ) after removal from the engaging member ( 14 ).
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein said graduated marker ( 11 ) comprises indicia disposed on said upper portion ( 5 ).
7. The device of claim 1 , wherein said supporting element ( 15 ) comprises a display configured to visualize a reached length measurement and electronic reading means connected to said display to send said length measurement to said display.
8. The device of claim 1 , wherein said measuring tape is placed at a height of 6.5 cm in respect to a positioning of said reference lever ( 13 ) when placed on said supporting element ( 15 ).
9. The device of claim 1 , wherein said site is closed at the top by an upper lid ( 16 ) in a way to retain the measuring tape within the site.
10. The device of claim 1 , wherein said means ( 6 ) to fix the arm at a chosen length comprise a knob ( 7 ) and a hollow spacer ( 8 ) configured with such a diameter to surround the upper portion ( 5 ).
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the knob is configured to get screwed at the upper end of the fixed base portion ( 4 ) such to fix the spacer around said upper portion ( 5 ), fixing it into position, or to get unscrewed to allow the spacer to release the upper portion.
12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reference lever comprises two portions pivotally coupled to one another, whereby the reference lever can be configured both in a I shape and an L shape during rest or use.
13. A device for reading measurements of a body of a person to produce trousers therefor, the device comprising:
an arm ( 2 ) that is telescopic and has a fixed base portion ( 4 ) and an upper portion ( 5 ) selectively extendable or retractable from and into an inside of the fixed portion ( 5 );
a plurality of elements ( 11 , 13 , 15 , 18 ) configured to provide the measurements of the body; and
a system ( 6 ) that fixes the arm ( 2 ) at a chosen length, thereby allowing, in correspondence of the chosen length, a reading of one or more of the measurements of the body through the plurality of elements ( 11 , 13 , 15 , 18 ); and
a graduated scale ( 11 ) provided on the upper portion ( 5 ) and configured to indicate the chosen length when reached after extending or retracting the upper portion ( 5 ) from or into the fixed base portion ( 4 ),
wherein the plurality of elements ( 11 , 13 , 15 , 18 ) comprise a supporting element ( 15 ), disposed at or in proximity of an upper end of the upper portion ( 5 ), the supporting element ( 15 ) comprising,
a device ( 13 , 14 , 18 , 19 ) configured to read one or both of a length or a width of the body, the device ( 13 , 14 , 18 , 19 ) comprising a reference lever ( 13 ) that indicates a position of the crotch of the person after extending or retracting the arm, the reference lever ( 13 ) being integrated in the supporting element ( 15 ), and
a site ( 17 ) having a measuring tape ( 18 ) therein, the measuring tape ( 18 ) having a strip ( 19 ) that automatically wraps inside the site and that is configured to take a measurement of a circumference at the chosen length of the arm ( 2 ), the site ( 17 ) being positioned at a distance above the reference lever ( 13 ).
