Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:
The present invention relates to an industrial pattern grading template and a method for using such a template for the upgrading or downgrading of all types and parts of a garment, concurrently in all the internationally standardized sizes. Both the template and the method for using it are appropriate for vocational technical training and professional use in the mass production of garments.
With the present invention, starting from a single initial size, the concurrent construction of all the required size variations of the different parts of a garment is achieved, with simplicity, certainty and absolute precision, in minimal time without geometry and complex calculations. The template has two sides and a plurality of elongate apertures of variable length and direction. These apertures are adjusted to the basic points of a garment pattern block, they have appropriate subdivisions and scales of proportionate grading for the grading of every part of a garment.

Description
2089~8 INDUSTRIAL P~TTE~N GRADING TEMPLATE
The present invention relates to an industrial pattern grading template and a method for using such a template. The present invention is particularly useful in grading all types and parts of a garment concurrently in all the internationally standardised sizes. The template is appropriate for use in vocational technical training together with professional use in the mass production of lo garments.
The present invention provides a template for the grading of sizes of all types and parts of a garment, according to the international standardization of sizes, the template being rectangular, of appropriate proportions and made of an appropria-te material, having two sides and a plurality of elongate apertures of variable length and direction, accompanied by metric subdivisions and scales of proportionate grading, together with other auxiliary designs which indicate the position of the grading points on a basic pattern block. The template of the present invention allows the grading of any garment pattern block, which includes thereon all of the required variations according to the internationally standardized sizes and may be utilised for grading each of the different parts of a garment, with simplicity, certainty and absolute precision, in minimal time without geometry and complex calculations.
The present invention will now be described in relation to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the use of that preferred embodiment.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a preferred embodiment of template in accordance with the present invention;
20894~8 Figures 2 to 6 show the various steps in using the template o~ Figure 1.
Figure l illustrates a template lo having a series of depictions of various parts of a pattern indicated as A, B, C, D, E, F, G. At various locations about those depictions are a plurality of apertures 12 (only given reference numerals in relation to depiction A) that include appropriate subdivisions and grading scales for the various lo international sizes. These apertures are located adjacent to the basic grading points of the depictions of the various parts of the garment.
The apertures with their appropriate subdivisions and grading scales are placed touching the basic points of any garment pattern block and the indication of their position is shown in projection on each of the auxiliary designs A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.
A: Being the quarter front upper basic block B: Being the basic sleeve block C: Being the quarter back upper basic block D: Being the quarter front skirt E: Being the quarter front trouser block F: Being the quarter back skirt G: Being the quarter back trouser block.
Scales X represent dart and notch grading points and features Z are designs of parts of a garment serving as an indication of where the grading of these blocks is effected.
Also provided are various metric subdivisions 14 about the periphery of each of the various sections of the template lo necessary for the adjustment and right angle 2089~8 placement of the template to the basic existing axes of the coordinates of the pattern block.
Referring -to the five stayes of use of the template lo as illustrated in Figures 2 to 6, Figure 2 shows the first stage of use. Prior to this stage, the pattern block of the basic initial size ~for example, European size 461 which we want to grade (for example, front female bodice) is dra~Jn on a sheet of paper, leaving ample space around it so that all the required graded sizes may be lo included thereon. The template is placed over the pattern block such that the pGint from which the first grading is to commence (for example, the waist point on the Centre Front ~C.F.) of the bodice as illustrated in Figure 2) coincides with and touches the same point on the depiction A on the template lo. The template is set at a right angle to the basic axis of coordinates of the block and the corresponding aperture is used to mark on the block the line and the subdivisions given by the template.
The template is then moved to the next point of grading on the initial pattern block (for example, the neck curve as illustrated in Figure 3) and again a right angle is formed with the axis of the coordinates of the basic pattern block. The line and its subdivisions are then marked through the corresponding aperture.
The process is continued for the next point of grading on the initial pattern block (namely the neck point on the shoulder as illustrated in Figure 4) and the template is placed so that this point touches the aperture corresponding to the same point on the template and a right angle is formed as before. The line is then marked and the subdivisions are as given by the aperture.
The same procedure is followed for the remaining points of grading as they appear on a model of the front bodice on the template, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, placing 20~94~8 the corresponding apertures on the initial block and marking through them the lines and their subdivisions.
Finally, the corresponding points of the subdivisions are joined together with straight lines and curves parallel to each other and to those of the initial block and there are then formed six blocks in total of proportionate sizes.
Furthermore, and in a similar way, sizes may be downgraded beginning from a block of a large initial size and placing the template so that the largest subdivision of every aperture touches the corresponding point on the initial block.
Therefore, the template 10 allows to achieve, starting from a single initial size, the concurrent construction of all the desired size variations of the different types and parts of a garment, according to the international standardization of sizes, with simplicity, certainty and absolute precision, in minimal time, without geometry and complex calculations.
It will be appreciated that there may be other modifications and alterations to the configurations described herein that are also within the scope of the present invention.
