ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to needlework work stands and more particularly pertains to a new crewel work stand for supporting needlecraft work and supplies used to work on the needlecraft.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of needlework work stands is known in the prior art. More specifically, needlework work stands heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 5,351,424; U.S. Pat. No. 5,027,989; U.S. Pat. No. 4,549,366; U.S. Pat. No. 3,955,722; U.S. Pat. No. 3,774,325; and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 244,755.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new crewel work stand. The prior art includes inventions having stands, platforms, lights, and magnifying glasses for working on needlecrafts.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new crewel work stand which has many of the advantages of the needlework work stands mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new crewel work stand which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art needlework work stands, either alone or in any combination thereof. The present invention includes a base member including side walls and cross members interconnecting the side walls; and also includes elongate upright support members being attached to the side walls of the base member; and further includes shelf units being mounted to the elongate upright support members; and also includes a workplace assembly including a platform being pivotally attached to the elongate upright support members, and also including needlecraft support hoop members being detachably attached to the platform; and further includes a light-emitting assembly being mounted to the elongate upright support members above the platform; and also includes a magnifying unit being pivotally mounted to the elongate upright support members above the platform. None of the prior art includes the combination of elements of the present invention.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the crewel work stand in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new crewel work stand which has many of the advantages of the needlework work stands mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new crewel work stand which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art needlework work stands, either alone or in any combination thereof.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new crewel work stand for supporting needlecraft work and supplies used to work on the needlecraft.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new crewel work stand that is easy and convenient to set up and use.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new crewel work stand that substantially lessens the amount of time needed to complete a needlecraft project.
