Abstract: A scoring base with an integrated media trimmer may be utilized to cut and/or score various types of media. The base may comprise an upper portion and a lower portion connected via a hinge. The lower portion may be configured to rotate with respect to the upper portion from a folded position to an unfolded position. A scoring implement, such as a bone folder, may be used to score a medium by tracing scoring grooves formed in the base. Additionally, the scoring base may include an integrated media trimmer comprising a cutting arm, a blade holder, and a cutting blade. The cutting arm may pivot from a cutting position to a storage position. The cutting arm may be configured to secure a bone folder within a depression during storage.

Abstract: A pattern creating implement may include a pattern creating tip on a first end, a connection member on a second end, and an engagement member between the first and second ends. The engagement member may be configured to be engaged by an implement placement member for detachably coupling the connection member to an implement receptor of a pattern creating device. According to various embodiments, a pattern creating device controls the rotational, vertical and planar movements of the pattern creating tip to transfer a digital pattern to a media. A tool may be configured to receive, resupply, and/or insert a pattern creating implement. According to one embodiment, in conjunction with an optional cap, a body of a tool may be configured to house a pattern creating implement when it is not in use.

Abstract: A hands free pattern creating apparatus having a hands free securement component which can be utilized to secure a handheld pattern creating device relative a medium upon which the pattern is to be formed. The securement component can include a magnetic component configured to be secured to the hands free securement device such as magnetic tabs, a elongate member or a removable collar having magnetic or metallic components secured thereto. A pattern or design surface or mat having metallic or magnetic properties such that the magnetic component provides a desired amount of magnetic attraction when positioned on media positioned on the pattern mat to minimize movement of components pattern creating device during creation of the pattern on the media, but allowing the user to remove and/or reposition the pattern cutting device relative to the pattern mat once the pattern has been completed.

Abstract: A combination punching and setting tool and method includes an elongate body with an upper impact end, a lower attachment end, and at least one interchangeable tip interchangeably received on the attachment end. The interchangeable tip is selected from the group consisting of i) a punching tip configured to punch an opening in a base material, and ii) a setting tip configured to set a securing device placed in an opening in the base material. The elongate body includes an ejection chute for ejecting base material punched by the punching tip out of the elongate body. The setting tip may include a pattern, formed on a lower end of the tip, configured to form a corresponding pattern on the securing device when the securing device is set.
