Abstract
A device comprising: (a) a body portion including: (i) a first end and ii. a second end; (b) a holder at the first end; (c) a holder at the second end; (d) a station device at the first and in communication with the holder at the first end; and wherein the holder is fixedly attached to a spilt gear having a channel therethrough so that one or more flexible mediums may be placed through the channel and removed from a work area located between the holder at the first end and the holder at the second end.
Claims20
A device for creating a fashion accessory comprising:
- a) a body portion having a first end connected to a second end, and which includes:
- i) a length which is adjustable;
- ii) a platform which is elongated having generally linear outer edges extending from the first end toward the second end;
- iii) a base portion for resting the device on a surface;
- iv) a first support located at the first end, extending vertically outward from the body portion, and integrally formed into the body portion;
- v) a second support located at the second end, extending vertically outward from the body portion, and integrally formed into the body portion;
- b) a first holder connected to the first support;
- c) a second holder connected to the second support, wherein the first holder and the second holder are adapted to receive one or more flexible mediums that extend between the first holder and the second holder to define a core of flexible medium;
- d) a rotation device at the first end and in rotatable communication with the first holder so that rotation of the rotation device rotates the first holder and the core of flexible medium so that one or more non-attached flexible mediums can be looped around the core of flexible medium to create the fashion accessory;
- wherein the first holder is spring-loaded and includes a lock which includes a piece which slides over the first holder;
- and
- wherein the device includes one or more gears in the first end, the second end, or both;
- and the rotation device rotates the first holder, the second holder, or both through the one or more gears.
