Abstract

Abstract This is a method of cutting out a front part of clothing and the like. A human body is drawn as a flat stereoscopic projection without breasts, then a basic original pattern piece (1) used as a body form is divided into a plurality of segments a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , a 4 along a plurality of cutting lines (13, 14, 15, 16) toward the periphery from a bust point BP as the center, the segments a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , a 4 are moved in response to measured personal dimensions and are placed so as to conform to the clothing of the design required. The profile of the figure is then used to obtain pattern pieces X 1 , X 2 , X 3 for the front, and the cloth is cut out using the pattern pieces. When clothing of a design having darts is fabricated, triangular notches (18, 21, 23) are formed in the pattern pieces X 1 , X 2 , X 3 to obtain darts (19, 20, 22) at the desired cutting positions indicated by the cutting lines (13, 14, 15, 16) and these are cut out.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 127 words
A method for cutting out a front part of clothing, wherein a human body is first drawn as a flat stereoscopic projection without a protruded portion of a breast and an external profile of a basic original pattern is made out by drawing a front neck line, a front shoulder line, a front sleeve line, a waist line and a proper breast line, and further forming at least four cutting lines toward the periphery of said profile from a bust point of the breast of the basic original pattern cutting said cutting lines and removing at least one cut portion so as to conform the pattern to the protruded portion of the breast, thereby forming a desired pattern with which a clothing material can be cut out.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 127 words
A method for cutting out a front part of clothing, wherein a human body is first drawn as a flat stereoscopic projection without a protruded portion of a breast and an external profile of a basic original pattern is made out by drawing a front neck line, a front shoulder line, a front sleeve line, a waist line and a proper breast line, and further forming at least four cutting lines toward the periphery of said profile from a bust point of the breast of the basic original pattern cutting said cutting lines and removing at least one cut portion so as to conform the pattern to the protruded portion of the breast, thereby forming a desired pattern with which a clothing material can be cut out.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 47 words
The method for cutting out a front part of clothing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cutting lines are positioned in order to obtain darts at the desired cut portions, thereby at least one acute-angled triangular part being formed on the pattern and subsequently cut off.
