  • Adjustable frame for scrolling and stretching needlepoint fabrics
    Patent number: 5255455
    Abstract: A fabric stretching device having a primary upright frame support (10) and secondary upright frame support (18) which are parallel to each other. These supports are held apart at a defined distance by a front and a rear frame brace (12a,b) which are parallel to each other and connect perpendicularly to the top and bottom ends of both upright frame supports, forming a rigid rectangular frame such that the height of the frame is defined by the distance between the frame braces, and the width of the frame is defined by the distance between the upright frame supports. A front and rear scroller rod (24a,b) pass through the upright frame supports inward of and parallel to the frame braces such that fabric is attached to the scroller rods by inserting the fabric through a scroller rod fabric slot (26) which is cut through each scroller rod. The rear scroller rod is inserted through either of two holes in the frame supports, enabling adjustment of the distance between the front and rear scroller rods.
