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.
Claims21
A device for creating a fashion accessory comprising:
- (i) a first support which extends outward at a first end region of the device;
- (ii) a second support which extends outward at a second end region of the device, wherein the second end region is spaced apart from the first end region;
- (iii) a first holder attached to and movable relative to the first support and which is adapted to receive one or more pieces of flexible medium;
- (iv) a second holder attached to and fixed relative to the second support and which is adapted to receive the one or more pieces of flexible medium such that the one or pieces of flexible medium extend between the first holder and the second holder;
- (v) a rotation device in rotatable communication with the first holder so that the rotation device rotates the first holder and the one or more pieces of flexible medium;
- wherein the first holder is moveable in two axes or more so that the first holder is moveable up and down, side to side, forward and backwards, diagonally, or a combination thereof;
- and
- wherein a distance between the first holder and the second holder is variable while a length of the device remains fixed.
2-20. (canceled)
The device of claim I, wherein the device includes a flexible medium holding device which holds the one or more pieces of flexible medium so that the one or more pieces of flexible medium do not tangle during use of the device.
A device for creating a fashion accessory comprising:
- (i) a body portion including a first end region and a second end region;
- (ii) a first support which extends outward from the first end region;
- (iii) a second support which extends outward from the second end region;
- (iv) a first holder attached to and movable relative to the first support and which is adapted to receive one or more pieces of flexible medium;
- (v) a second holder attached to and fixed relative to the second support and which is adapted to receive the one or more pieces of flexible medium such that the one or pieces of flexible medium extend between the first holder and the second holder;
- (vi) a rotation device attached to the first support and in rotatable communication with the first holder so that the rotation device rotates the first holder and the one or more pieces of flexible medium;
- (vii) a plurality of gears located in the first support and in rotatable communication with the rotation device to rotate the first holder;
- wherein the first holder is moveable in two axes or more so that the first holder is moveable up and down, side to side, forward and backwards, diagonally, or a combination thereof;
- and
- wherein a distance between the first holder and the second holder is variable while a length of the body portion remains fixed.
A kit comprising:
- a) a device for creating a fashion accessory comprising:
- (i) a first support which extends outward from a first end region of the device;
- (ii) a second support which extends outward from a second end region of the device, wherein the second end region is spaced apart from the first end region;
- (iii) a first holder attached to and movable relative to the first support and which is adapted to receive one or more pieces of flexible medium;
- (iv) a second holder attached to and fixed relative to the second support and which is adapted to receive the one or more pieces of flexible medium such that the one or pieces of flexible medium extend between the first holder and the second holder;
- (v) a rotation device attached to the first support and in rotatable communication with the first holder so that the rotation device rotates the first holder and the one or more pieces of flexible medium;
- b) a plurality of flexible mediums adapted to be the one or more pieces of flexible medium;
- c) a plurality of secondary mediums, including:
- beads, ordainments, charms, a post, a hook, or a combination thereof;
- wherein the plurality of the secondary mediums are adapted to be attached to the fashion accessory;
- and
- d) instructions for creating the fashion accessory with the device;
- wherein the first holder is moveable in two axes or more so that the first holder is moveable up and down, side to side, forward and backwards, diagonally, or a combination thereof;
- and
- wherein a distance between the first holder and the second holder is variable while a length of the device remains fixed.
