Publication number: 20250187365Abstract: A diamond art drill multiplacer head is disclosed. The multiplacer head may have a tip structure with a wax well having a width less than the cross-sectional dimensions of conventional diamond drills/beads. The tip structure may also have an external width that is also less than the cross-sectional dimensions of the conventional diamond drills and have a thin body thickness. As a result of such dimensions, diamond drills may not get stuck in the wax well of the tip structure and a user may see the outer edges of the diamond drills when placing them on a diamond are painting canvas.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2024Publication date: June 12, 2025Inventor: Alexandre Perrier

Publication number: 20240351365Abstract: A diamond art kit includes a diamond art canvas which includes a substrate upon which an image is printed. A layer of adhesive is applied above the image, and a protective film (which can have perforated tear lines) releasably covers the adhesive. The substrate includes a textile layer that can be sealed by front and back sealing layers. A backing layer can be applied to the back sealing layer. The backing layer can be configured with fibers that are sufficiently flexible to allow the diamond art canvas to be rolled and placed within a tube for storage and shipping, but also has sufficient tensile strength to urge the diamond art canvas toward laying flat when unrolled.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2023Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventor: Alexandre Perrier

Patent number: 11772414Abstract: A diamond art kit includes a diamond art canvas which includes a layer of adhesive. A protective film having perforated tear lines releasably covers the adhesive. The protective film is divided into several sections defined by the tear lines. A user can tear the protective film along the tear lines so as to remove only a chosen section of the protective film. This will expose a working portion of the canvas adhesive corresponding to that chosen section, but the protective film will remain in place protecting the remaining adhesive. The user can then place drills in the working portion of the canvas.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2023Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Diamond Art Club, LLCInventor: Alexandre Perrier
