Claims18
A device for reducing the distortion of a quilted product comprising:
- a first lengthwise component wherein a first transverse pin is connected thereto;
- a second lengthwise component;
- and
- a one-piece lever comprising a lower section securely connected to the second lengthwise component by a second transverse pin, the one-piece lever operable to move the first component towards the second component to fix in position an edge portion of a backing layer within the first and second lengthwise components and move the first component away from the second component to release the edge portion of the backing layer from within the first and second lengthwise components;
- and
- wherein the one-piece lever further comprises perimeter edge surfaces configured to slidably move against the first transverse pin as force is applied to the one-piece lever.
