lThis invention relates to quilting frames and more particularly to a quilting frame of thefolding type wherein the elements may bereadily detached from the frame for compact packaging and storage thereof.
A main object of the invention is to' providev anovel and improved frame of the character Adescribed which is readily adjustable for quilting or embroidery operations thereon and whichmay be readily taken apartr and packed in a relatively small space for transportation or storage.
A further object of Athe invention is to provide an improved quilting frame of simple construction and which is formed of very inexpensive parts, said frame being provided with novel and improved adjusting means for raising or lowering the quilting rack with respect to the remaining supporting members of the frame and for securing the rack in a desired tilted position.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description and claims, and from the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is a top view of a quilting frame constructed in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a front elevational view of the frame of Figure l.
Figure 3 is a side elevational view of the frame of Figure l.
Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 4 4 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a front elevational view of the side nembers of the frame and rack structure of Figure 1 in disassembled position. l
Figure 6 is a view taken on line 6-6 of Figure5.
Figure 7 is a detail View of a transverse quilting rack member employed in the structure of Figure 1.
Figure 8 is a detail view showing the quilting rack member of Figure in folded position.
Figure 9 is a detail view of a transverse frame member employed in the structure of Figure 1.
Figure 10 is a detail view showing the frame member of Figure 9 in folded position.Y
Referring to the drawings, the structure comprises a pair of vertical post members II, I I, each post member being supported on a foot member I2 detachably secured thereto by a bolt and wing nut I5. The lower portion of each post member II is formed with a vertical slot I3, and secured transversely of the post members is a bottom bar I4, said bar I4 having a stud projecting from each end thereof which passes through a slot I3 and is secured to the corresponding postl member by a wing nut IS engaged with the stud. Bottom bar I4 is centrally hinged at I1 so that it can be folded to half its extended length when not in use, 'as shown in Figures 9 and 10.
The top ends ofthe post members are formed with vertical slots I8, I8 adapted to receive longitudinally projecting end studs I9, I9 carried by a topbar 20 'and secured thereto by wing nuts 2I, 2 I. Top .bar 20 is hinged centrally at 22 forfolding to half its length when not in use.y VIn its extended position, top bar 20 is vrigidii-led by a top plate member 23 secured to thebar at the face thereof opposite the hinge v22 and bridging the hinge joint, bolts 24 and wing nuts 25 being employed to secure plate member 23 to said top bar. The intermediate portions of post members II are formed with elongated vertical slots 2B, 26 adapted to receive bolt members 21, 21 carried by a rectangular rack frame 28, said bolt members 21, 21 being secured by wing nuts 29,729. Rack frame 28 comprises a pair of side members 49, 40 provided with endwise extending plate members 39 at each end. The opposed plate members 3i! at each end of the side members 40, 40 are formed with lateral slots 3| adapted to be engaged with bolt members 32 carried by transverse rack members 33 and projecting endwise therefrom for releasable securement in slots 3|. Transverse rack members 33 are each provided with spaced apertures 34 for lacing the quilt thereto. Said transverse rack members are centrally hinged at 35 and are braced by stiifening plates 33 secured by bolts and wing nuts. Y
lThe side members 4I), 40 of the rack frame 28 are formed with a series of apertures 31 for receiving bolt members 21 at desired pointsof securement of the rack frame side members to the post members II, II.
Secured to each'rack frame side member 40 at an intermediate point thereof is a flexible tape member 38 .which extends upwardly and is coiled on an appropriate drum element provided therefor on top frame member 20, a guide ange 39 being formed on frame member 2D for each tape member 38 lto facilitate the coiling of the tape member on its drum as frame member 29 is rotated. When wing nuts 29, 29 and 2|, 2| are loosened, the rack frame 28 maybe raised or lowered with respect to post members II, II by rotating top frame member 20 in one direction or the other. When the desired elevation of the rack frame 33 is established, wing nuts 2I, 2| and 29, 29 may be tightened to lock the rack frame in desired elevation and angular inclination.
As can be Vseen from. Figures 5 to'10, the parts of thel quilting structure may be readily disasunderstood that Various modifications within the spirit of the invention may occur to those skilledl in the art. Therefore, it is intended that no limitations be placed on the invention 'other'than as defined by the scope of the appended claims:
What is claimed is:
1. A quilting frame 4structure comprising a pair of Vertical posts, a' bottom transverse bar connecting said posts, a top transverse bar rotatably mounted in and connecting said posts, elongated vertical slots formed in the intermediate portions of said posts, a rectangular frame adjustably supported between said posts by bolt members secured to said frame and extending through said slots, and a flexible member secured to said frame and wound over said top transverse bar for raising or lowering said frame responsive to rotation of said top transverse bar.
2. The structure of claim 1, and wherein a guide ilange is provided on said top transverse 4 bar adapted to guide said exible member for winding on said top bar.
3. The structure of claim 1 and wherein means is provided for locking said top bar in adjusted rotated position and other means for locking said frame in adjusted elevation and angular inclination with respect to said vertical posts.
4. The structure of claim 1, and wherein a removable horizontal base member is secured to the bottom end of each vertical post.
5. A quilting frame structure comprising a pair of vertical posts, a bottom transverse bar releasably connecting said posts, a top transverse bar connecting said posts and adapted to be rotated therein, an elongated vertical slot formed in the intermediate portion of each post, a rectangular frame adjustably supported between said posts by bolt members carried by the side members of the frame and extending through said slots, a ilexible tape member secured to each side member of the frame and wound over said top transverse bar andV guide means on said top bar for each flexible tape member.
6. The 'structure of claim 5, and wherein the transverse bars of the structure rare centrally hinged for folding to half length when the frame structure is disassembled, and wherein the top transverse bar has means in association therewith for maintaining the same in its extended position when the frame structure is assembled.
