Method for creating a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional uniform

Abstract

A plurality of methods for creating a substantially two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional uniform having a front, back, top, and sides, are disclosed. In the first method, the arms are removed from the uniform. Most of the back of the uniform and at least some of the sides of the uniform are removed. The top and remaining back of the uniform are rolled into substantially the same plane as the front of the uniform to create a substantially two-dimensional uniform. In the second method, the two-dimensional representation is created from scratch. A fabric garment piece is created, wherein the fabric garment piece comprises at least a portion of the uniform front, a portion of the uniform back and at least a portion of the uniform top. The top and the portion of the back are rolled into substantially the same plane as the front of the uniform to create a substantially two-dimensional uniform.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is generally related to creating a uniform. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for creating a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional uniform for display purposes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Various professions require their personnel to wear a uniform. For example, professions such as; military, police, fireman, park service, etc. require their personnel to wear uniforms. The uniforms are comprised of at least jackets, coats, vests and / or shirts.

One known method of display is to buy a large shadow box and hang the uniform in the shadow box. T...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a method for creating a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional uniform that can be easily attached to a display device or placed in a shadow box. This representation can be created by cutting up an actual uniform or made from scratch using fabric and other materials. The method involves removing the arms from the uniform, rolling the top and remaining back of the uniform into the same plane as the front of the uniform, and creating a fabric garment piece that includes a portion of the uniform front, back, top, and sides. The invention is not limited to the specific details provided and can be applied in various ways.

Problems solved by technology

There are, however, several problems with displaying the jacket inside the shadow box.

First, the shadow box will have to be quite large and will take up a large amount of wall space.

In addition, when the uniform is hanging in the shadow box, any uniform decorations which are attached to the shoulder epaulets or sleeves of the uniform may be hard to see since the shoulder epaulets generally face toward the top of the shadow box and the sleeves face toward the sides of the shadow box.

This is a particular problem for military personnel since various uniform decorations must be displayed in mandated positions on the shoulder epaulets and sleeves.
