Hand-loom construction

A unitary structural frame module for end-to-end assembly into a hand-loom structure, said module comprising an elongate body with an array of spaced plural upstanding pins at the same regular unit longitudinal interval, said body extending beyond both longitudinal ends of said array to define body ends each of which has a fastening aperture spaced by said unit interval from the next adjacent pin, the axis of each fastening aperture being also on an alignment determined by projection of the alignment of the axes of the pins of the array, one of the said body ends at the apertured region being adapted to assemble over the apertured region at the other end upon end-to-end assembly of two such frame modules to each other, whereby fastening elements including an upstanding pin at assembly via registering end apertures will serve at pin-unit spacing the pin array of both secured modules, regardless of the secured angular orientation of the secured modules.

A unitary structural frame module for end-to-end assembly into a hand-loom structure, said module comprising an elongate body with an array of spaced plural upstanding pins at the same unit longitudinal interval, said body extending beyond both longitudinal ends of said array to define body ends with a connection axis at each end, the connection axes being spaced at said unit interval from the next adjacent pin, the connection axes being also on an alignment determined by projection of the alignment of the axes of the pins of said array, said body having at at least one of said connection axes a fastening aperture, the body end at the apertured region being adapted to assemble with connection-axis registry over the other body of another such module upon end-to-end assembly of two such modules to each other.

A knock-down hand-loom assembly kit, comprising a plurality of like unitary structural frame modules adapted to be assembled in secured end-to-end continuous-loop relation;

• each module comprising an elongate body with an array of spaced plural upstanding pins at the same regular unit-longitudinal interval, said body extending beyond both longitudinal ends of said array to define body ends each of which has a fastening aperture spaced by said unit interval from the next adjacent pin, the axis of each fastening aperture being also on an alignment determined by projection of the alignment of the axes of the pins of the array;
• each body end of each module being adapted for assembly in overlap with the adjacent body end of the adjacent module and with the fastening apertures in register, and removable fastening means sized to pass through the registered apertures and including at each reaction of secured overlap an upstanding pin serving the pin-unit spacing of the arrays of both adjacent modules.
