Description
April 10, 1934. J. H. RUST 4, 7
QUILTING FRAME Filed April 6, 1955 Patented Apr. 10, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.
This invention relates to a quilting frame. An object of the invention is to provide a frame of the character described whereby a quilt or other fabric may be maintained in a convenient position for quilting or other similar operation.
Another object of the invention is to provide a quilting frame whereby the work may be from time to time adjusted as the convenience of the quilter may require.
A further object is to provide a quilting frame having suitable spaced end supports and side bars thereon having a pivotal or rotatable connection with one of the end supports and having means whereby the side bars may be interlocked with the other end support to prevent their rotation, said locked ends of the bars being releasable to permit the rotation of the bars to the end that the work may be readily adjusted.
With the above and other objects in view, the 29 invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, operation and arrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 shows a plan view of the frame.
Figure 2 shows a side elevation.
Figure 3 shows a cross sectional view taken on the line 3--3 of Figure 2, and
Figure 4 shows a cross sectional view taken ion the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing wherein like numerals of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures, the numerals 1, 1 designate transverse end supports which are "supported on the respective pairs of legs 2, 2. These respective pairs of legs may be anchored in fixed relation by the cross bars 3 and are provided with suitable feet as 4, 4.
There are the two parallel side bars 5, 5 which may be of any suitable shape but which are shown rectangular in cross sectional contour.
The end supports have the aligned notches '7, '7 in their upper margins, these notches are of polygonal shape, preferably square.
At one end the side bars have the reduced round portions 8, 8 which are turnable in the corresponding notches of one support and at their other ends have their reduced polygonal portions 9, 9, which fit snugly in their corresponding notches of the other support. These reduced portions form the spaced shoulders 10, 10 and 11, 11 which maintain the side bars against endwise movement when in use.
When beginning the work of quilting the quilt 12 is wound on one side bar and its opposite margin is attached to the other side bar. The quilting is begun at the last mentioned edge of the quilt and as the work progresses the quilt is adjusted or moved from time to time toward the quilter. This adjustment may be accomplished by lifting the square portion 9, of the bar on which the quilt is first wound, from the bearing 7 and said bar rotated to unwind the qult therefrom and said reduced portion 9, last mentioned, is then seated back in its notch and the corresponding end of the other side bar 5 is then lifted and turned to take up the slack and then again seated in the notch 7 with the quilt drawn taut. The square sections 9 will prevent the turning of the side bars during work and will keep the quilt drawn taut and the round sections 8 will permit said side bars to be turned as described without lifting the corresponding ends of said bars so that the frame may be manipulated, as described, readily by one workman.
If desired both square sections 9 may be lifted from their corresponding notches and both side bars simultaneously turned to adjust the quilt as desired.
It is obvious that the side bars may be readily lifted from the end supports and the quilt wound up on one or both of said side bars, or removed therefrom, and the supports and side bars may then be packed closely together for storage or transportation and will thus occupy small space when not in use.
The drawing and descriptions disclose what is now considered to be a preferred form of the invention by way of illustration only while the broad principle of the invention will be defined by the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A quilting frame comprising end supports provided with spaced bearings, side bars spaced apart and mounted in said bearings, corresponding ends of the bars being approximately cylindrical and rotatable in the bearings at one end of the frame and being releasably locked against rotation by the bearings at the other end of the frame.
2. A work holding frame comprising end supports spaced apart, bearings in said supports, parallel side bars for supporting the work, said bars being mounted in the corresponding bearings, each bar being rotatable in one of its bearings and releasably locked against rotation by its other bearing.
3. A frame for supporting flexible work, such as a quilt, and comprising end supports each having spaced notches, forming bearings, the bearreduced sections at the other ends of said bars being shaped to be interlocked against rotation by the bearings at the other end of the frame, said shoulders forming means to prevent the lengthwise movement of the side bars relative to said end supports.
