Abstract
A device for positioning photographs and the like with respect to each other so that they may be moved as a group as they are repositioned over (or removed entirely from) a workpiece such as a scrapbooking page. In alternative embodiments, the device also serves as a platform for other scrapbooking tools (cutting blades, pens, etc.) that can be applied to one or more of the photographs.
Claims14
A device for positioning at least two photographs with respect to each other so that they may be moved as a group, comprising:
- a base and a clamp mating to the base along a central axis of the device, each of the base and the clamp comprising one of two mating sides of at least one central spine, thereby forming a plurality of spaces around a perimeter of the device into which a corner portion of each of the photographs may be held, a knob that causes the base and clamp to engage each other to hold the photographs, and an arm, mounted to the device such that the arm revolves around a central axis of the device, the arm being long enough to extend radially beyond the perimeter of the device, in which the arm supports a tool directed toward at least one of the photographs.
A device for positioning at least two photographs with respect to each other so that they may be moved as a group, comprising:
- a base and a clamp mating to the base along a central axis of the device, each of the base and the clamp comprising one of two mating sides of at least one central spine, thereby forming a plurality of spaces around a perimeter of the device into which a corner portion of each of the photographs may be held;
- and a knob that causes the base and clamp to engage each other to hold the photographs;
- in which the clamp has an outer perimeter comprising a ridge, and each central spine of the base comprises an inward portion and an outward portion separated from each other by a gap into which the ridge extends.
A device for positioning at least two photographs with respect to each other so that they may be moved as a group, comprising:
- a base and a clamp mating to the base along a central axis of the device, each of the base and the clamp comprising one of two mating sides of at least one central spine, thereby forming a plurality of spaces around a perimeter of the device into which a corner portion of each of the photographs may be held;
- a knob that causes the base and clamp to engage each other to hold the photographs;
- in which each central spine comprises a vertically upward extension of the base mating with a vertically recessed feature of the clamp.
