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 rotation device at the first end in communication with the holder at the first end; and wherein the holder is fixedly attached to a split 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:
- (i) a first end with a first support which extends outward;
- (ii) a second end with a second support which extends outward and is generally coplanar with the first support;
- (iii) a work area between the first support and the second support;
- (iv) a length;
- and
- (v) a base portion to rest the device on a surface;
- (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 pieces of flexible medium 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 the rotation device rotates the first holder and the core of flexible medium to create the fashion accessory;
- (e) one or more gears at the first end and located within the first support, and wherein the rotation device rotates the first holder through the one or more gears;
- and
- wherein the device is free of a translation rod which spans from the first end to the second end to rotate the first holder and the second holder;
- wherein the first holder and the second holder are connectable by the one or more pieces of flexible medium;
- and
- wherein the body portion within the work area has a height smaller than a height of the body portion at the first end and at the second end.
