Abstract
A stencil device for forming configurations in deformable material includes a first member having ridge portions integrally joined to channel portions that promote the insertion of the ridge portions of the first member into deformable material; and a second member having ridge portions integrally joined to protrusion portions that promote the insertion of the ridge portions of the second member into deformable material; whereby, the first and second members ultimately form a design pattern across a preselected surface of deformable material by alternating the insertion and removal of said first and second members across the preselected surface of the deformable material.

A Stencil Device for Forming Configurations in Deformable Material comprising:
- a first member having ridge portions integrally joined to channel portions, said first member ridge portions including top walls, upper planar side walls and lower portions having bottom insertion edges that promote the insertion of said ridge portions of said first member into deformable material, said channel portions including top walls having recesses, upper planar side walls and lower portions having bottom insertion edges that promote the insertion of said channel portions of said first member into deformable material;
- at least one grasping handle integrally joined to a top wall of said ridge portions to promote insertion and extraction of said ridge portions of said first member into and from the deformable material after the deformable material has sufficiently solidified, said first member handle promoting the removal of said first member from the deformable material after the deformable material has sufficiently solidified;
- a second member having ridge portions integrally joined to protrusion portions, said second member ridge portions including top walls, upper planar side walls and lower portions having bottom insertion edges that promote the insertion of said ridge portions of said second member into deformable material, said protrusion portions ultimately disposed in said recesses in said top walls of said channel portions of said first member, whereby, first end walls of said protrusion portions engage cooperating first end walls of said channel portions, thereby promoting a continuous insertion edge across said first and second members and preventing ridges in recesses formed in the deformable material after said first and second members are removed from the deformable material;
- and
- at least one grasping handle integrally joined to a top wall of said second member ridge portions to promote insertion and extraction of said ridge portions of said second member into and from the deformable material after the deformable material has sufficiently solidified, said second member handle promoting the manual removal of said second member from the deformable material after the deformable material has sufficiently solidified;
- whereby, said first and second members ultimately form a design pattern across a surface of deformable material by alternating the insertion and removal of said first and second members across the surface of the deformable material.
A Stencil Device for Forming Designs comprising:
- a first member having ridge portions integrally joined to channel portions, said first member ridge portions including top walls, upper planar side walls and lower portions having bottom insertion edges that promote the insertion of said ridge portions of said first member into deformable material, said channel portions including top walls having recesses, upper planar side walls and lower portions having bottom insertion edges that promote the insertion of said channel portions of said first member into deformable material;
- at least one grasping handle integrally joined to a top wall of said ridge portions to promote insertion and extraction of said ridge portions of said first member into and from the deformable material after the deformable material has sufficiently solidified, said first member handles promoting the removal of said first member from the deformable material after the deformable material has sufficiently solidified;
- a second member having ridge portions integrally joined to protrusion portions, said second member ridge portions including top walls, upper planar side walls and lower portions having bottom insertion edges that promote the insertion of said ridge portions of said second member into deformable material, said protrusion portions ultimately disposed in said channel portions of said first member;
- and
- at least one grasping handle integrally joined to a top wall of said second member ridge portions to promote insertion of said ridge portions of said second member into deformable material after the deformable material has sufficiently solidified, said second member handles promoting the manual removal of said second member from the deformable material after the deformable material has sufficiently solidified, said first and second members being detachably joined via two channel portions on each side of said first member detachably joined to two cooperating protrusion portions on a selected side of said second member, the distance separating each of said two channel portions on a side of said first member and the distance separating each of said two protrusion portions on a side of said second member being equal distances;
- whereby, any one side of said first member can be detachably joined to any one side of said second member via respective detachably joined channel and protrusion portions, thereby allowing a myriad of recess configurations to be formed in the deformable material across a preselected surface of deformable material by alternating the insertion and removal of said first and second members across the preselected surface of the deformable material.
A Stencil Device for Configuring Designs in Deformable Material comprising:
- a first rolled member having a longitudinal dimension equal to at least one side dimension of a preselected surface area of deformable material, said first rolled member including ridge portions integrally joined to channel portions, said first rolled member ridge portions including top walls, upper planar side walls and lower portions having bottom insertion edges that promote the insertion of said ridge portions of said first rolled member into deformable material, said channel portions including top walls having recesses, upper planar side walls and lower portions having bottom insertion edges that promote the insertion of said channel portions of said first member into deformable material;
- a second rolled member having a longitudinal dimension equal to at least one side dimension of a preselected surface area of deformable material, said second rolled member including ridge portions integrally joined to protrusion portions, said second rolled member ridge portions including top walls, upper planar side walls and lower portions having bottom insertion edges that promote the insertion of said ridge portions of said second rolled member into deformable material, said protrusion portions ultimately disposed in said channel portions of said first rolled member, whereby, end walls of said protrusion portions engage cooperating end walls of said channel portions, thereby preventing ridges from being formed in the formed recesses in the deformable material;
- and
- a common distance separating adjacent channel portions on each longitudinal side of said first rolled member being equal to a common distance separating adjacent protrusion portions on each side of said second rolled member, said first and second members being detachably joined via said channel portions detachably receiving cooperating protrusion portions;
- whereby, a longitudinal side of said first rolled member can be detachably joined to a longitudinal side of said second rolled member, thereby allowing either longitudinal side of said first rolled member to be detachably joined to either longitudinal side of said second rolled member;
- whereby, multiple recess configurations are formed in the deformable material by varying the insertion and removal of said first and second rolled members in a preselected surface of the deformable material.
