DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, an example kit is indicated at 10 for creating Brunnian link items such as bracelets, necklaces and other wearable or decorative article as generally indicated at 26 in Figure 2. The example kit 10 includes one of a template 12 (Figures 4-6), or 15 (Figures 10-12), a clip 16 and a hook 14. The example kit 10 also includes a number of elastic members 18 that are used with the kit 10 to form Brunnian links for the resulting wearable article 26. The elastic members 18 are consumed as articles 26 are fabricated, and are replaced and replenished with additional elastic members. Moreover, the example elastic members 18 are of a size corresponding with the example template 12. Further, although a single clip 16 is illustrated, the example kit 10 will include many clips 16 to provide for the fabrication of many articles 26.
[0020] Referring to Figure 3, a Brunnian link 20 is formed from a continuous looped structure without forming an actual knot. Several links 20 are formed in a chain to form a circular structure. Ends 22 of each elastic member 18 are secured and a durable wearable article 26 is created. In this example three links 20 forming a single chain. Each link 20 is formed by capturing the ends 22 of one loop structure with a mid portion 24 of another loop structure in series. Each link 20 depends on the previous and subsequent links 20 to maintain the desired shape and integrity. Removing one link 20 results in all of the links becoming loose from each other.
[0021] Referring to Figures 4, 5 and 6, the example template 12 includes two pins 28A, 28B spaced a distance 52 apart from each other. Each of the pins 28A, 28B includes a flange 30A, 30B , a base 32A, 32B, and an access groove 34A,34B. The pins 28A, 28B are connected at the base 32A, 32B by a bridge 36. The bridge 36 defines the distance 52 between the pins 28 A, 28B.
[0022] The access grooves 34A, 34B are disposed on outward facing sides 38A, 38B of the template 12. Each of the access grooves 34A, 34B extend entirely through the pins 28A, 28B including through the flanges 30A, 30B and the bases 32A, 32B and the bridge 36.
[0023] The pins 28A, 28B include a barrel portion 40A, 40B between the corresponding flanges 30A, 30B. The barrel portion 40A, 40B is formed of a diameter 46 that is less than a diameter 44 of the flanges 30A, 30B and a diameter 42 of the base 32A, 32B. The barrel portion 40A, 40B support the elastic band 18, while the flanges 30A, 30B and the base 32A, 32B prevent the elastic bands 18 from sliding off.
[0024] Each of the flanges 30A, 30B is interrupted by the corresponding access grooves 34A, 34B. The access grooves 34A, 34B are sized to receive an end of the hook tool 14.
[0025] Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the example clip 16 is generally C-shaped with inwardly facing ends 48. The inwardly facing ends 48 point inwardly to an open space 50 where parts of the elastic members are kept 18. The inwardly facing ends 48 prevent ends 22 from sliding out from the inner area 50 off of the clip 16. [0026] Referring to Figures 9A-K, the example template 12 is utilized for the formation of a series of Brunnian links 20 as illustrated in Figure 3. As appreciated, elastic bands 18 can be difficult to manipulate and hold during the construction of a desired article. The example template 12 provides for holding of an initial number of links 20 to facilitate the initial few links of a desired linked article. The template 12 includes the first and second pins 28A, 28B along with the full height groove 34.
[0027] The initial step illustrated in Figure 9B includes assembling a first end of an elastic band 18 on to the second pin 28B. The first elastic band 18 is then pulled and looped around the first pin 28A as shown in Figure 9C. Once looped around the first pin 28A, the second end 18 is hooked back onto the second pin 28B as shown in Figure 9D. With the first elastic band 18 assembled to the template 12 a clip 16 as is shown in Figure 9E is attached to the band 18. The clip 12 is inserted into the groove 34A of the first pion 28A and under the ends of the elastic band 18 such that the band 18 is received within the open area 50.
[0028] Once the clip 16 is hooked to the ends 22 of the elastic band 18, the hook tool 14 is inserted through the access groove 34 as shown in Figure 9F. A second elastic band 18 is then hooked by the hook 14 as shown in Figure 9G. The end of the hook 14 is shown extending through the access groove 34A such that it extends outward from the flange 30A to provide for hooking of the second band 18.
[0029] One end of the second band 18 is then pulled through the groove 34A while holding the other end as shown in Figure 9H. The hook 14 is then put through the ends 22 of the second band 18 to hold them in an orientation where the midsection 24 is wrapped about the first band 18 that is secured to the template 12 as shown in Figure 91. A third band 18 is then hooked utilizing the hook 14 and pulled through the second band 18.
[0030] The third band 18 is looped over the hook 14 to hold the third band 18 in the orientation illustrated in Figure 9J. The hook 14 is utilized to hold one band 18 onto the subsequent band 18 and prepare for the threading of subsequent band 18 through the previous band 18. The process is repeated until a desired number of bands 18 are linked together to form a chain as illustrated Figure 9K. Once the desired length and number of links 20 are formed, the first band 18 including the clip 16 can be removed from the template 12. The clip 16 is then circled around and clipped onto the loose ends indicated at 54 to complete the article.
[0031] Referring to Figures 10, 11 and 12, another template 15 includes a holder 17 that supports pins 21. Each of the pins 21 includes a first or top end 23 and a base end 27. The entire template 15 is a single part that is held during creation of the article. The pins 21 provide support for the elastic member 18 during fabrication of a linked article similar to that indicated at 26 in Figure 2. The example template 15 is utilized according to the same assembly procedure set out in Figures 9a-k.
[0032] Accordingly, the example kit and method provide for the creation of many different combinations and configurations of Brunnian links for the creation of bracelets, necklaces, and other wearable items. Moreover, the example kit is expandable to further create and expand the capabilities of potential Brunnian link creations. Further, the example kit provides for the creation of such links and items in an easy manner allowing persons of varying skill levels to be successful in creating unique wearable items.
[0033] Although an example embodiment has been disclosed, a worker of ordinary skill in this art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of this disclosure. For that reason, the following claims should be studied to determine the scope and content of this invention.
