Abstract
A device having a housing structure, a plurality of pegs in communication with the housing and the plurality of pegs extending at an angle relative to a plane so that the plane extends between at least a plurality of pegs and wherein the angle of plurality of pegs are in different directions so that the at least a portion of plurality of pegs are movable from a first side of the plane to the second side of the plane.
Claims17
A device comprising:
- a. a plurality of pegs including a translation mechanism that moves one or more of the plurality of pegs;
- b. a housing structure;
- wherein at least a portion of the plurality of pegs extend at an angle relative to a plane so that at least a first portion of the plurality of pegs are on a first side of the plane and at least a second portion of the plurality of pegs are on a second side of the plane, and wherein the at least first portion of the plurality of pegs are moved from the first side of the plane to the second side of the plane and the at least second portion of the plurality of pegs are moved from the second side of the plane to the first side of the plane by the translation mechanism rotating the one or more of the plurality of pegs about a longitudinal axis of each of the one or more of plurality of pegs.
A method comprising:
- a. providing a device including:
- a housing structure which houses a plurality of pegs including a translation mechanism that moves one or more of the plurality of pegs, said plurality of pegs each include a portion that extend at an angle relative to a plane so that at least a first portion of one or more of the plurality of pegs on a first side of the plane and at least a second portion of one or more of the plurality of pegs are on a second side of the plane;
- b. extending one or more weft mediums substantially along the plane so that the one or more weft mediums are located on a first side of one or more of the plurality of pegs and on a second side of one or more of the plurality of pegs;
- and
- c. moving the plurality of pegs about a longitudinal axis of at least one of the plurality of pegs by the translation mechanism so that at least one of the plurality pegs on the first side of the plane moves to the second side of the plane or so that at least one of the plurality of pegs on the second side of the plane moves to the first side of the plane.
