Abstract
The fabric storage panel is a relatively small, thin, plastic plate particularly configured for the long term storage of relatively small lengths of fabric for home or similar occasional use. The plastic material is essentially chemically inert to fabric stored thereon, thereby precluding damage to fabric or its dyes from acid as found in conventional cardboard fabric storage boards. The present panel may be formed as a single plate of solid plastic, or may comprise multiple cross laminations of corrugated plastic sheet material. Tabs or clips grip the edge of a fabric sheet placed therein to facilitate initiation of the fabric winding process thereon. A hole or grommet may be provided in at least one end of the panel for hanging the panel for storage.
Claims15
A fabric storage panel, comprising:
- an elongate, thin plastic plate having a first end and a second end opposite the first end defining an axial length therebetween;
- a pair of sides having edges parallel to the axial length;
- and
- a plurality of laterally spaced fabric sheet gripping tabs disposed along the axial length;
- said tabs for gripping a leading edge of a sheet of fabric parallel to the axial length of the panel so that the fabric may be wrapped around the axial length of the panel for storage.
