Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field
The illustrative embodiments described herein are directed generally toward dispensing and storing stabilizer and fabric material for use in embroidery and sewing.
2. Description of Related Art
Embroidery is generally used in quilting and crafting to create a decorative design or pattern on a piece of fabric or other item by either hand-sewing or machine needlework. Stabilizers are generally used during the embroidery process to assist in stabilizing and/or providing support to fabric or other items being embroidered. Stabilizer material supports fabric under the stress of dense and multi-directional stitching. Stabilizers are typically used in conjunction with an embroidery hoop to hold fabric as flat and inflexibly as possible. Upon completion of the sewing/embroidery process, stabilizer material may be removed from the fabric using either a cut-away, tear-away, heat-away, or wash-away method.
Stabilizer material is currently available on rolls that are not encased in any dispensing apparatus. The width of these rolls is made to accommodate the various embroidery hoop sizes. To use the stabilizer material for a particular hoop, one must cut a piece of stabilizer directly from the roll by manually holding the roll such that a piece of stabilizer may be extracted from the roll.
The stabilizer cutting process requires a work space of sufficient size to accommodate the cutting process because of the size of the stabilizer rolls, and because a piece of stabilizer must be cut directly from the roll. Because a stabilizer roll must be manually held to extract a piece of stabilizer, the cutting process includes an unnecessary and inconvenient extra step. When using multiple rolls of stabilizer, an even larger work space and time expenditure is necessary because of the need to maintain multiple stabilizer rolls in one's immediate workspace and because stabilizer rolls must be switched to and from the cutting area so that the appropriate stabilizer roll may be cut.
Due to stabilizer rolls' cylindrical shape and ability to unravel, unnecessary storage space may be wasted when stabilizer rolls are stored. Also, confusion may arise as to the identity of a particular stabilizer roll because of a lack of any organized method for storing the stabilizer rolls. For example, many types of stabilizer, including tear-away, cut-away, heat-away, and wash-away stabilizer, look similar when viewed in the form of stabilizer rolls, and may be confused with one another when stored in a haphazard manner.
Therefore, it would be advantageous to have an apparatus for containing, organizing, and dispensing stabilizer rolls to save space, time, and unnecessary labor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The illustrative embodiments described herein are directed toward dispensing and storing stabilizer material for use with sewing/embroidery machines. The stabilizer material may be dispensed, organized, and stored in the form of stabilizer rolls. The stabilizer material on the stabilizer rolls may be any variety of widths and thicknesses. The amount of stabilizer material on the stabilizer rolls may be varied according to need. A variety of types of stabilizer materials may be included on the stabilizer rolls, including, but not limited to, tear-away, wash-away, heat-away, or cut-away stabilizer material.
With reference now to the figures, FIG. 1 depicts perspective view showing a dispenser for dispensing stabilizer rolls in accordance with the illustrative embodiments. The body of the dispenser is formed by a front wall 160 a back wall 160 d, side walls 160 b and 160 c, and bottom wall 160 e. Side walls 160 b and 160 c contain slide grooves 161 a and 161 b, respectively. The top wall of the dispenser is not shown in FIG. 1. Spool mounts 145 a and 145 b adjoin to side walls 160 b and 160 c, respectively. Each spool mount 145 a and 145 b includes three spool mount grooves 140 a, 140 b, 140 c, 140 d, 140 e, and 140 f. Specifically, spool mount 145 a includes spool mount grooves 140 a, 140 b, and 140 c, which are spaced approximately equidistant from one another. Similarly, spool mount 145 b includes spool mount grooves 140 d, 140 e, and 140 f, which are spaced such that spool mount grooves 140 a, 140 b, and 140 c and spool mount grooves 140 d, 140 e, and 140 f directly oppose one another.
Three spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c are shown as mounted on spool mount grooves 140 a, 140 b, 140 c, 140 d, 140 e, and 140 f between side walls 160 b and 160 c. Specifically, spool 110 a mounts in spool mount grooves 140 a and 140 d. Spool 110 b mounts in spool mount grooves 140 b and 140 e. Spool 110 c mounts in spool mount grooves 140 c and 140 f. Spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c are mounted on spool mount grooves 140 a, 140 b, 140 c, 140 d, 140 e, and 140 f such that spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c may rotate about an axis parallel to the length of spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c.
Spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c pass through the hollow center axis of stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c. Specifically, spool 110 a passes through stabilizer roll 120 a. Spool 110 b passes through stabilizer roll 120 b. Spool 110 c passes through stabilizer roll 120 c. Spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c pass through stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c such that stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c may rotate relative to spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c around an axis parallel to the length of spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c. In FIG. 1, the number of stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c is equal to the number of spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c. Also, each stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c is disposed on one of the spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c.
Locking rings 150 a, 150 b, 150 c, 150 d, 150 e, and 150 f are attached to spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c to prevent the side-to-side motion of stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c along the length of spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c. Specifically, locking rings 150 a and 150 d are disposed around spool 110 a such that stabilizer roll 120 a is located in between locking rings 150 a and 150 d. Locking rings 150 b and 150 e are disposed around spool 110 b such that stabilizer roll 120 b is located in between locking rings 150 b and 150 e. Locking rings 150 c and 150 f are disposed around spool 110 c such that stabilizer roll 120 c is located in between locking rings 150 c and 150 f. Locking rings 150 a, 150 b, 150 c, 150 d, 150 e, and 150 f are disposed around spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c securely so as to hinder lateral movement of stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c relative to spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c.
Openings 130 a, 130 b, and 130 c provide a passage through which the stabilizer material on stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c may be removed from the dispenser. Openings 130 a, 130 b, and 130 c are shown as slits on front wall 160 a, with each slit sized to allow the passage of stabilizer material. Each stabilizer roll 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c may correspond to one of the openings 130 a, 130 b, and 130 c such that each opening dispenses stabilizer material for a different stabilizer roll 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c. In FIG. 1, the stabilizer material on stabilizer roll 120 a passes through opening 130 a. The stabilizer material on stabilizer roll 120 b passes through opening 130 b. The stabilizer material on stabilizer roll 120 c passes through opening 130 c. Also, the number of openings 130 a, 130 b, and 130 c is equal to the number of spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c.
Access to the stabilizer material on stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c is provided by the dispenser. As stated above, stabilizer material from stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c may protrude from openings 130 a, 130 b, and 130 c such that one may access a desired amount of stabilizer material by pulling a portion of stabilizer material protruding from openings 130 a, 130 b, and 130 c. When a piece of stabilizer material of desired size is pulled, the piece of stabilizer material may be cut using scissors, a knife, or any other special tool for cutting. Stabilizer material may be easily pulled from openings 130 a, 130 b, and 130 c because spool mounts 145 a and 145 b, spool mount grooves 140 a, 140 b, 140 c, 140 d, 140 e, and 140 f, and spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c are adjoined such that spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c may revolve around an axis parallel to the length of the spool. Additionally, stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c may be disposed around spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c such that stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c may revolve around spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c. Stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c may also be fixedly disposed around spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c such that stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c cannot revolve relative to spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c. Locking rings 150 a, 150 b, 150 c, 150 d, 150 e, and 150 f may be placed onto spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c by sliding locking rings 150 a, 150 b, 150 c, 150 d, 150 e, and 150 f onto the ends of spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c.
The dispenser may be constructed using a wide variety of materials depending on many factors such as need, cost, weight, sturdiness, and other considerations. For example, the dispenser and its constituent parts may be constructed of paper, cardboard, plastic, card stock, wood, wood products, corrugated box material and/or any combination thereof.
The stabilizer material on each of the stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c may be composed of a different material such that access is provided to a variety of stabilizer material compositions using a single dispenser. For example, the stabilizer material on stabilizer rolls 120 a and 120 b may each be composed of a different material such that the stabilizer material that protrudes from opening 130 a may be composed of a different material than the stabilizer material protruding from opening 130 b. Stabilizer material may be composed of nylon, cotton, nylon blend, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl alcohol blend, polyolefin, polyolefin blend, polyester, polyester blend, cellulosic, cellulosic blend, natural fibers, man-made fibers, or any combination thereof.
The stabilizer material on each of the stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c may each have a different thickness such that access is provided to stabilizer materials having different thicknesses using a single dispenser. For example, the stabilizer material on stabilizer rolls 120 a and 120 b may each have different thicknesses such that the stabilizer material that protrudes from opening 130 a has a different thickness than the stabilizer material protruding from opening 130 b. For example, the stabilizer material that protrudes from opening 130 a may be one-fourth, one-third, one-half, or three-fourths as thick as the stabilizer material protruding from opening 130 b.
The stabilizer material on each of the stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c may each be a different type such that access is provided to a variety of stabilizer material types using a single dispenser. For example, the stabilizer material on stabilizer rolls 120 a and 120 b may be different types of material such that the stabilizer material that protrudes from opening 130 a is a different type of stabilizer material than the stabilizer material protruding from opening 130 b. The different types of stabilizer material include, but are not limited to, tear-away, wash-away, heat-away, or cut-away stabilizer material
Although FIG. 1 shows three spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c, three stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c, and three openings 130 a, 130 b, and 130 c, the number of spools, stabilizer rolls, and openings may vary depending on need, cost, and other factors. For example, in an alternative embodiment, only one spool, one stabilizer roll, and one opening is provided in the dispenser.
Although FIG. 1 shows that the number of spools 110 a, 110 b, and 110 c, stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c, and openings 130 a, 130 b, and 130 c are equal to one another, in an alternative embodiment, the number of spools, stabilizer rolls, and openings are not equal to one another. For example, the dispenser may include one opening, five spools, and two stabilizer rolls.
Locking rings 150 a, 150 b, 150 c, 150 d, 150 e, and 150 f may be composed of different materials depending on a variety of factors such as cost, durability, and ability to hinder the movement of stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c. For example, locking rings 150 a, 150 b, 150 c, 150 d, 150 e, and 150 f may be composed of rubber, plastic, metal, wood, or any combination thereof. Locking rings 150 a, 150 b, 150 c, 150 d, 150 e, and 150 f may also be a variety of shapes, such as square, triangular, spherical, cubical, or a clamp-like shape, among others.
With reference now to FIG. 2, another perspective view shows a dispenser for dispensing stabilizer rolls in accordance with another illustrative embodiment. Top wall 260 f is slidably coupled to the dispenser. Specifically, top wall 260 f is in slidable contact with side walls 260 b and 260 c such that top wall 260 f may slide either toward or away from back wall 260 d. Top wall 260 f slides along slide grooves 261 a and 261 b, which are located on side walls 260 b and 260 c, respectively. FIG. 2 shows top wall 260 f in a half-open state. When top wall 260 f is in the closed position, the walls of the dispenser approximately form a cuboid or rectangular prism shape. FIG. 1 shows the dispenser in a state in which the top wall of the dispenser is removed.
Arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c are shown connected to the dispenser such that each arm 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c corresponds to a spool. Arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c are connected to the spools through side wall 260 b. For example, arm 270 a connects to spool 210 a through side wall 260 b. Stabilizer roll 220 a, which is held into place, in part, by locking ring 250 d, is disposed around spool 210 a. Arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c have a ‘Z’ or crank-like shape so that arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c may be easily rotated when a force is applied to them.
Arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c are used to rotate the spools and stabilizer rolls. Hence, the amount of stabilizer material protruding from the openings may be increased or decreased by applying a force to one of arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c. For example, if one desires less stabilizer material to protrude from opening 230 c, one may apply a force to arm 270 c to decrease the amount of stabilizer material protruding from opening 230 c.
Although arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c are shown in FIG. 2 as having a ‘Z’ or crank-like shape, arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c may have different shapes depending upon various factors such as cost, weight, and ability to rotate the spools. For example, arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c may have a knob shape, an ‘L’ shape, or a straight rod shape. Arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c may also have a handle to increase gripping friction. Also, arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c may be composed of a variety of materials, such as rubber, plastic, metal, wood, or any combination thereof. Although arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c are shown as being responsive to a manual force, arms 270 a, 270 b, and 270 c may also be rotated using a force originating from a mechanical device, such as an electrical motor.
Although top wall 260 f is shown as being slidably connected to the dispenser, top wall 260 f may be removably connected to the dispenser in a variety of ways. For example, any of walls 260 a, 260 b, 260 c, and 260 d may have one or more hinges that hingably connect top wall 260 f to the dispenser. Also, top wall 260 f may be divided into two pieces such that each piece is hingably connected to two different walls by one or more hinges. For example, the first piece of top wall 260 f may be hingably connected to side wall 260 b, while the second piece of top wall 260 f may be hingably connected to side wall 260 c. Also, top wall 260 f may simply rest on the dispenser without the aid of any connectors at all.
With reference now to FIG. 3, a frontal perspective view shows the front wall of a dispenser for dispensing stabilizer rolls in accordance with an illustrative embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 3 shows stabilizer material protruding from openings 330 a, 330 b, and 330 c. Openings 330 a, 330 b, and 330 c are located on front wall 360 a of the dispenser. FIG. 3 also shows side wall 360 b and top wall 360 f, each of which form part of the dispenser. Although the stabilizer rolls, such as stabilizer rolls 120 a, 120 b, and 120 c from FIG. 1, are not shown in FIG. 3, each of the protruding portions of stabilizer material originates from a different stabilizer roll. The protruding portions of stabilizer material may be pulled to increase the amount of stabilizer material protruding from openings 330 a, 330 b, and 330 c.
With reference now to FIG. 4, a perspective view shows a dispenser 401 for dispensing stabilizer rolls in accordance with an illustrative embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 4 shows a dispenser having stabilizer rolls 420 a, 420 b, and 420 c of varied widths 480 a, 480 b, and 480 c. Widths 480 a, 480 b, and 480 c of stabilizer rolls 420 a, 420 b, and 420 c equal the shortest distance between ends 435 a, 435 b, 435 c, 435 d, 435 e, and 435 f for each stabilizer roll 420 a, 420 b, and 420 c. For example, the width 480 a of stabilizer roll 420 a is equal to the shortest distance between ends 435 a and 435 b. The width 480 b of stabilizer roll 420 b is equal to the shortest distance between ends 435 c and 435 d. The width 480 c of stabilizer roll 420 c is equal to the shortest distance between ends 435 e and 435 f.
As shown in FIG. 4, each stabilizer roll 420 a, 420 b, and 420 c has a different width 480 a, 480 b, and 480 c. Stabilizer roll 420 b has the largest width 480 b, stabilizer roll 420 c has the second largest width 480 c, and stabilizer roll 420 a has the smallest width 480 a. Stabilizer material of different widths protrude from each of openings 430 a, 430 b, and 430 c on front wall 460 a, thus allowing one to access stabilizer material of different widths using a single dispenser. For example, stabilizer material from stabilizer roll 420 a protrudes from opening 430 a. Stabilizer material from stabilizer roll 420 b protrudes from opening 430 b. Stabilizer material from stabilizer roll 420 c protrudes from opening 430 c.
In addition, FIG. 4 shows locking rings 450 a, 450 b, 450 c, 450 d, 450 e, and 450 f disposed around spools 410 a, 410 b, and 410 c. In contrast to FIG. 1, the positions of locking rings 450 a, 450 b, 450 c, 450 d, 450 e, and 450 f has changed to accommodate the different widths of stabilizer rolls 420 a, 420 b, and 420 c. Locking rings 450 a, 450 b, 450 c, 450 d, 450 e, and 450 f are located adjacent to the ends 435 a, 435 b, 435 c, 435 d, 435 e, and 435 f of stabilizer rolls 420 a, 420 b, and 420 c to hinder the movement of stabilizer rolls 420 a, 420 b, and 420 c relative to spools 410 a, 410 b, and 410 c.
With reference now to FIG. 5, a frontal perspective view shows the front wall of a dispenser for dispensing stabilizer rolls in accordance with an illustrative embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 5 shows openings 530 a, 530 b, and 530 c located on front wall 560 a. FIG. 5 also shows side wall 560 b and top wall 560 f, each of which form part of the dispenser openings 530 a, 530 b, and 530 c have cutting teeth 580 a, 580 b, and 580 c, respectively.
Cutting teeth 580 a, 580 b, and 580 c may be used to cut portions of stabilizer material protruding from openings 530 a, 530 b, and 530 c. For example, a piece of stabilizer material protruding from opening 530 a may be severed by pressing the stabilizer material against cutting teeth 580 a. Cutting teeth 580 a, 580 b, and 580 c eliminate the need for using an outside cutting tool to cut the stabilizer material.
Cutting teeth 580 a, 580 b, and 580 c may be composed of different materials depending on a variety of factors, such as cost and ability to cut stabilizer material. For example, cutting teeth 580 a, 580 b, and 580 c may be composed of metal, plastic, or a combination thereof. Although FIG. 5 shows that cutting teeth 580 a, 580 b, and 580 c are used to cut stabilizer material from the dispenser, other cutting devices may be used to perform the same function. For example, a blade mechanism may be adjacently connected to openings 530 a, 530 b, and 530 c such that stabilizer material may be sliced from the dispenser.
With reference now to FIG. 6, a perspective view shows a dispenser for dispensing stabilizer rolls in accordance with an illustrative embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 6 shows view notches 695 a, 695 b, and 695 c in side wall 660 c. Each view notch 695 a, 695 b, and 695 c corresponds to a stabilizer roll 620 a, 620 b, and 620 c and a spool 610 a, 610 b, and 610 c. In FIG. 6, view notch 695 a allows a user to view the amount of stabilizer material in stabilizer roll 620 a, view notch 695 b allows a user to view the amount of stabilizer material in stabilizer roll 620 b, and view notch 695 c allows a user to view the amount of stabilizer material in stabilizer roll 620 c. Although FIG. 6 depicts view notches 695 a, 695 b, and 695 c as U-shaped notches in side wall 660 c, view notches 695 a, 695 b, and 695 c may alternatively be shaped as circular holes, elliptical holes, polygonal holes, narrow slits, or any other shape that allows a user to view the amount of stabilizer material on a spool. View notches 695 a, 695 b, and 695 c may be placed on any of the walls of the dispenser. Also, any number of view notches may be provided. For example, one or two view notches may be provided for a dispenser that has three spools.
As shown in FIG. 6, spools 610 a, 610 b, and 610 c protrude from side wall 660 c through view notches 695 a, 695 b, and 695 c. Specifically, spool 610 a protrudes from view notch 695 a, spool 610 b protrudes from view notch 695 b, and spool 610 c protrudes from view notch 695 c. The portion of each spool 610 a, 610 b, and 610 c that protrudes out of the dispenser through view notches 695 a, 695 b, and 695 c may be used to rotate the spools 610 a, 610 b, and 610 c around an axis parallel to the length of the spools 610 a, 610 b, and 610 c. Hence, the extended spools 610 a, 610 b, and 610 c serve as an alternate winding mechanism that allows a user to adjust the amount of stabilizer material protruding from openings 630 a, 630 b, and 630 c. Although FIG. 6 depicts spools 610 a, 610 b, and 610 c as protruding from side wall 660 c, spools 610 a, 610 b, and 610 c may protrude from either or both of side walls 660 b and 660 c. In addition, the portion of spools 610 a, 610 b, and 610 c that protrudes from side wall 660 c may include a gripping surface to allow for easy gripping, such as a handle, high-friction coating, or indentations in the spool itself.
Also shown in FIG. 6 are guiding rods 690 a, 690 b, and 690 c. Guiding rods 690 a, 690 b, and 690 c provide support for the stabilizer material that extends from stabilizer rolls 620 a, 620 b, and 620 c to openings 630 a, 630 b, and 630 c. In FIG. 6, guiding rods 690 a and 690 c support the stabilizer material extending from stabilizer roll 620 a to opening 630 a. Guiding rod 690 b supports the stabilizer material extending from stabilizer roll 620 b to opening 630 b. Each of guiding rods 690 a, 690 b, and 690 c are mounted onto side walls 660 b and 660 c. Although guiding rods 690 a, 690 b, and 690 c are depicted as elongated cylinders, guiding rods 690 a, 690 b, and 690 c may also have a polygonal cross-section, such as a square, rectangle, or hexagon. Also, the stabilizer material originating from any particular stabilizer roll may be supported by any number of guiding rods.
