Abstract
A hand-strung jewelry construction board. A plurality of holes is drilled into the board. One or more pins are inserted into the holes. Also, one or more clamps are inserted into the holes. A jewelry string is looped around the pins and clamped in position by the clamps. In a preferred embodiment, second and third strings are wrapped around the jewelry string adjacent the pins at each end of the jewelry string. The second and third wrapped strings are glued into place. When the jewelry string is removed from the jewelry construction board, permanent loops are formed into the jewelry string.
Description
- The present invention relates to tools for making necklaces and bracelets, and more in particular, to tools for producing knots in the stringing material of necklaces and bracelets. This application claims is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/031,185, filed Feb. 19, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein.
- The makers of hand-strung jewelry routinely and consistently encounter a set of complexities that increase both the cost and time involved with manufacture. These include: (1) the need to affix or attach metallic “end caps” to each end of the stringing material of an item of strung jewelry enabling the ends to be connected to each other through the intermediary of a connecting device such as a clasp or other hooking device; (2) the need to accurately space tiered necklace strands so that they descend in a specific and orderly configuration when being worn; (3) the need to produce single and multi-strand lengths of stringing material of consistent length and tightness; (4) the need to consistently and uniformly affix and space knots along a length of stringing material to produce accurate spacing of beads or other attachments to the material; and, (5) the need to rigidly hold chain strands in place so as to uniformly space and consistently attach items such as beads, baubles, jump rings, or pendants.
- The inability of hand-strung jewelry manufacturers to replace the use of “end caps” with knots significantly increases the cost of strung jewelry production because quality end caps are expensive. Furthermore, end caps often work loose over time causing potential loss of the strung jewelry items they are intended to secure. Also, prior art end caps are so ineffectively designed and poorly produced that they fail to adequately secure the stringing material resulting in jewelry breakage or loss. Also, prior art end caps are not available in a range of diameters/sizes suitable to the diameters/sizes of the stringing material(s) desired for use by the strung jewelry manufacturers. Also, prior art end caps are not available in an adequate variety of materials and colors to allow for the production of articles of strung jewelry as per the wishes of the designer or consumer. What is needed is a device for making it easier to construct hand-strung jewelry.
- The present invention provides a hand-strung jewelry construction board. A plurality of holes is drilled into the board. One or more pins are inserted into the holes. Also, one or more clamps are inserted into the holes. A jewelry string is looped around the pins and clamped in position by the clamps. In a preferred embodiment, second and third strings are wrapped around the jewelry string adjacent the pins at each end of the jewelry string. The second and third wrapped strings are glued into place. When the jewelry string is removed from the jewelry construction board, permanent loops are formed into the jewelry string.

She then attaches the tip of the loop to clamp 6A and then wrapsstring 8 aroundpin 7 and ties slipknot 19 adjacent to pin 7 (FIGS. 20-24 ). The loop is then pulled free fromclamp 6A and looped over pin 7 (FIG. 24 ). The user pulls on short end 56 (FIG. 24 ) andslip knot 19 is then slid tight against pin 7 (FIG. 25 ). Superglue is then put overslip knot 19 to hold it in place.String 8 is then pulled up frompin 7 so thatsmall loop 24 is formed by slip knot 19 (FIG. 26 ).Pendant 20 is then threaded throughstring 8 until it is stopped byslip knot 19. A similar procedure is followed to form asecond slip knot 19 on the other end ofstring 8. - In
FIG. 27 clamps board 1 andchain 31 has been stretched tight betweenclamps chain 31 as desired for decoration. - In
FIG. 30 necklace items 35 have been inserted intoholes 4 for easy retrieval by the user. -
FIG. 29 illustrates howboard 1 can be utilized as a glass cutter. For example, pins 7 are inserted intoholes Guide 45 is laid onboard 1 and pressed tight against pins 7.Glass piece 41 is then also laid onboard 1 and pressed up againstguide 45.
