FIELD OF APPLICATION

This Utility Model Patent, “ARRANGEMENT INTRODUCED INTO THREADS FOR HANDWORK WITH KNITTING NEEDLES, CROCHET HOOKS OR THE LIKE”, has unseen threads as its object for handwork with knitting needles, crochet hooks, and the like through the inclusion of orifices, straps, edges, and crochet stitches, in laces, strips, braids, and fabric in general, which can be crude, tinctured, or etched, belonging to the textile articles field, with their use more precisely made in manual production of garment ornament or embellishment through knitting, crochet, or the like, and which has been given original constructive arrangement aiming at its use and performance in relation to the other thread pattern usually found in the market.
Said patent application has therefore unseen threads for embellishment creation through the weaving technique specially designed to achieve high practicality and which brings great advantages in both its use and manufacturing.
It is also an objective of this application to present unseen threads for handwork with knitting needles, crochet hooks or the like, at low costs for its industrial feasibility, but combining the requirements of robustness, safety, and utility practicality, thus offering the consumer public an additional option in the market of their counterparts, offering—unlike the usual models—countless possibilities and benefits to their users, turning out to be a model of great acceptance in the consuming market.

History of the Arrangement.

Knitting is an organized-thread-weaving technique allowing the creation of a fabric that—owing to its texture and elasticity features—is called knitwear, or just knitting. It can be handmade, with two needles, or with just one that—besides allowing thread weaving (creating each stitch), also hold the just-woven knitwear.
Among the various threads for handwork with crochet hooks, knitting needles, and the like, known from the state of technique, with the most popular being wool and fiber threads.

Drawbacks in the State of the art.

The utmost inconvenient for manual knitting and crochet threads, found in the state of technique is the lack of innovation. In the past few years, the industries of the sector have been making new types of synthetic-fiber-made threads available, in a wide range of texture and colors. Such fibers, however, turn out to be no more than slim curd-stretching-united fibers.
In spite of the wide range of threads available in the market, the possible types of embellishment to be produced with such materials are highly limited, once they are basically elements having similar structures.

SUMMARY OF THE ARRANGEMENT

Such a good deal of thought has been given on such inconvenience that—after countless researches and studies—the inventor, a person linked to the field, created and developed the object of this patent, idealizing unseen threads for handwork with knitting needles, crochet hooks, and the like, conveniently configured and arranged so that they can perform their functions with unmatched efficiency and versatility without the afore mentioned drawbacks.
Featuring this request for patent are unseen threads for handwork with knitting needles, crochet hooks, with all aesthetic and functional qualities, designed and developed according to the most modern techniques, thus allowing their preference for use for making embellishments and ornaments for clothing in general.
The textile element configuration, object of this patent, in its constructive form, comprises unseen threads for handwork with crochet hooks, knitting needles, and the like, through the adaptation of various laces and fabric mentioned below, existing in the market for other applications, but NOT adapted for the intended purpose (handwork with crochet hooks, knitting needles, and the like).
It can be understood that the referred textile element is extremely simple as in its constructiveness, being thus easily feasible. However excellent practical and functional results are achieved, offering an innovative constructiveness over the known models. Idealized with innovative designs there result products with quite peculiar features, most characteristic, being that—in addition to the constructive feature, the thread for handwork being presented, is noted for its versatility and convenience of use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INCORPORATION

In conformity with how much is shown in the pictures above mentioned, the “ARRANGEMENT INTRODUCED INTO THREADS FOR HANDWORK WITH KNITTING NEEDLES, CROCHET HOOKS OR THE LIKE”, object of this patent, is essentially characterized by unseen threads for handwork, obtained through the upgrade and introduction of changes in textile products of types lace, strap, tape, cloth strip, and the like.
More specifically, the threads for handwork with knitting needles, crochet hooks, or the like, being now presented, are obtained from Laces; Ribbons, elastics, bias cut, soutaches, embroidered strips, other strips, other lacework articles; laced fabric, flat fabric, knitwear fabric (circular, straight, other), TNT (non woven fabric), fabric in general; which can be of various raw materials; crude, tinctured, printed or colored by many different processes, whether handwork or industrial, including through transfers, at suited width for handwork, or at their original width, for further adjustment into the desired width.

Main Types of Threads for Handwork Obtained Through Market-Existing Products Adaptation.

From Laces (1):

Inclusion of holes (2) (of various diameters) near the edges, in the center, or in other parts of the lace so as to make needle passing feasible (3) for handwork. The holes (2) can be made in the weaving process, or, later, through various manual or industrial cutting instruments and systems. They can be round, egg-shaped, rectangular, square, or in other shapes, even shoulder-strap-shaped.
The resulting products will be hereinafter referred to as “knitting lacework” (4).
