Abstract: A kit for creating Brunnian link items such as bracelets, necklaces and other wearable or decorative items is disclosed and includes a loom, a hook, and a plurality of clips and a plurality of elastic bands. The loom includes a base supporting a plurality of upward extending pins. Each of the pins includes a flange for holding an elastic band in a desired orientation.
Abstract: A Brunnian link is a link formed from a closed loop doubled over itself to capture another closed loop to form a chain. One or more beads may be assembled to a linked item formed with Brunnian links. The beads include tapered sides to provide a curved interface that corresponds with the shape of a completed linked item.
Abstract: A kit and components for creating an elastic band model includes a form including at least one band retaining member. Elastic bands of different colors are assembled to the form using the band retaining member to hold the a plurality of linked elastic bands in place. The elastic bands fill out the form to create the shape and look of the model. The forms are part of a kit that includes the forms applicable to each unique model along with other components unique to that models shape and appearance.
Abstract: A Brunnian link is a link formed from a closed loop doubled over itself to capture another closed loop to form a chain. The example kit provides for the successful creation of unique wearable articles using Brunnian link assembly techniques and includes several pin bars that are supported in a desired special orientation by at least one base. The desired special orientation is dependent on the desired linked configuration of the completed article. The pins may be assembled in various combination and orientations to provide endless variation of completed link orientations.
Abstract: A Brunnian link is a link formed from a closed loop doubled over itself to capture another closed loop to form a chain. Elastic bands can be utilized to form such links in a desired manner. The example loom provides a device for holding elastic bands in place to enable the creation of a Brunnian linked article.
