Benefits of technology

[0006] The present invention aims to overcome the above disadvantage by providing a portable looming template which enables woven fabric pieces to be formed simply and effectively. The present invention further aims to provide a template which enables the woven fabric pieces formed on the loom to be readily removed from the loom without damaging the pieces.

Problems solved by technology

To remove the woven fabric from the frame, however, the loops formed around the nails have to be cut off with scissors, effectively limiting the scope of the usefulness of the pieces of fabric formed using a loom of that form.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Referring firstly to FIGS. 1 to 3, there is illustrated a portable looming template 10 according to the present invention which is of a substantially planar square configuration and provided around its perimeter with a series of indentations 11. The indentations 11 are of a tapering or V-shaped slot-like configuration and defined between coplanar projecting fingers 12 of the template which are in the form of truncated isosceles triangles and arranged along each of the four sides of the template 10. Further larger fingers 13 again in the configuration of truncated isosceles triangles are arranged at each corner of the template 10

[0023] The template 10 is divided along a diagonal join line 14 into two parts or members 15 and 16 which are of a substantially identical right-angle triangular configuration and which are secured together along their hypotenuses by spaced hinges 17 which enables the parts 15 and 16 to be pivotally moved in one direction about a pivot axis extending a...

Abstract

A portable looming template for creating fabric from yarn comprising a rectangular planar body having a series of indentations in its perimeter defined between adjacent projecting fingers around which the yarn may be looped. The template may comprise a pair of planar members which may be connected together with hinges to be movable between a position in which they define the rectangular body for use and a folded position to permit release of the fabric article from the template.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] The present invention is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 062,524 filed Feb. 5, 2002 and entitled SET OF HAND HELD DEVICESBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This present invention relates to a portable looming template for weaving and creating squares and rectangles of fabric from yarn. [0004] 2. Description of The Prior Art [0005] Hand weaving is a popular hobby which enables square or rectangular fabric pieces to be created from yarn however the means for creating such fabric pieces are antiquated. For example a basic hand weaving loom which has been used for many years includes a wooden frame carrying nails which are hammered into the periphery of the frame around its periphery. Yam is then wrapped around the nails in a systematic fashion to create pieces of woven fabric. To remove the woven fabric from the frame, however, the loops formed around the nails have to be cut of...
