This invention relates to a method of and means for stringing beads.
Usually beads are strung with a bead of large diameter at the center and they are gradually reduced in size towardthe ends, so that through the employment of the bead board of this invention an operator may carry out the bead Stringing process expeditiously.
It is an object of this invention to proide a bead board having parallel grooves in spaced relation to each other and preferably with the surface of the board having graduations thereon progressively increasing numerically from a center toward the ends thereof, in order that the length of the string on opposite sides of the central location where the largest bead is usually located may be accurately and expeditiously determined.
It is furthermore an object of this invention to provide a board of the character indicated which can be folded to occupy comparatively small space and extended when it is to be used.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction, and in the arrangement andy combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this application wherein like characters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which-V Figure 1 illustrates a plan view `of a bead board embodying the invention;
Figure 2 illustrates aside elevation of fragments of the sections of the board;
` Figure-3 illustrates a sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. l; and lo Figure 4 illustrates a plan view of fragments of the board showing its application in use. A
The method of this invention .has to do with the placing of beads on a member containing a scale having a central zero zone and having graduations progressively increased numerically therefrom in order that beads of the same size may be placed on corresponding numbers on each side of the central zone.
In these drawings, 5 and 6 denote the sections of the board and they preferably have rounded under corners, such as 7, at their inner ends. 'Ifhe sections are pivotally connected to links, such as 8, by which the sections may be swung to lie parallel or to the open positions in which they are shown. The sections have grooves, such as 9 and 10, in their upper faces near the edges and one of the grooves is preferably employed as a storage for beads which are to be assembled in graduated relation to one another, in the other as they are shown in Fig. 4. VFigure 3 shows in dotted lines that the beads occupy the two grooves and this is for the object stated.
The surfaces of the members between the 551 grooves are provided with graduations which are numbered progressively toward their outer ends, it being shown that the Zone .at the joint between the two sections is marked Zero, although the particular scale and indicia employed may be changed to suit particular requirements.
By selecting a bead of the largest diameter for the center and graduated beads gradualf ly reduced in dia-meter from the center to- T5" ward the end, the pro-per number of beads will certainly be inserted between the center bead and the ends on each side of the center bead and to the proper length of the string of beads y desired. V Y 30" One skilled in the art will understand the construction and application of the invention from the description and the drawings.
While the preferred form of the invention illustrated shows the device as made in two sections 5 and 6, it will be understood that the device can be made in one piece without departing from the invention and it also might be stated that the device may be made of wood or any other suitable material.
I cla-im:
l. In a bead Stringing board, elongated elements each having longitudinal grooves on their upper faces adapted to hold beads and a series of graduations parallel to said grooves progressively increased numerically in opposite directions from a central zone, and means for hingedly connecting the elements together.
2. A bead Stringing board comprising an elongated member having longitudinal grooves in its upper face near its edges adapted to hold beads, graduations between the said grooves, the said graduations being progressively numbered in opposite directions from a central zone.
