A further object of Ythisfinvention is thejproducticnoi a simple `and eiiicient device Vor frame upon which'a rag rug may bemadewithout the use'of Warps. f
Other `objects of vthe .present iinvention will appear throughout the *following 'specication and claims. `1
In the drawing:
Figure l is afragmentary perspective view of the rug making frame;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of a portion of the frame illustrating the manner in which the strips of material are placed upon the frame whilebeginning to knit the rug; I
Figure 3 is a front elevational 'view of a portion of the frame illustrating the relative .positionsoi the anchoring pinsvand staples;
AFigure 4 is a fragmentary'topplan viewof the iframe and illustrating the type `of knitting .produced thereon;
Figure 5 is an end elevational view of the frame illustrating one position oifthe strip otmaterial engaging the two front notches or vrecesses in the end staple;

Figure '7 is an end elevational view of the frame illustrating a further position of the strip of material while knitting; and
Figure 8 is an enlarged side elevational view one of the staples.
By referring to the drawing in detail, it will be noted that I8 designates the base of the frame, which may consist oi a flat rectangular piece of wood or other material of a desired length. A plurality of upstanding members or staples II are driven into the upper face of the base I in spaced parallel relation to hold the staples II in upright positions, as shown in Figures 1 and 3. Each staple II is provided with a pair of forward notches I2 and I3, or recesses which are bent into the forward leg I4 of the staple. These notches I2 and I3 are arranged one above the` other, as shown. Each upstanding member or staple I I also is provided with a rear leg I having one notch or bent recess I6. The upper end of each staple inclines rearwardly, as shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7.

20 the like,` into strips of about 55 making of a rug from rag strips.
Afplurality vof vupstanding 'anchoring Apins I1 'are driven'into the upperface of theebase I0 rearwardly of the line of staples I I and :in `spaced vstaggered relation to the. stapleslli as shown in The pins I1 have their upper ends rearwardly inclined4 to prevent the ,strips of material `from becoming accidentally detached.
yFrom the above descriptiomit will be` noted that present device embodies .a base having a desired number of staple-shaped wires.v I Il, equally spaced and driven into the support I. -`These staple-shaped wires II have two notchesinthe front legs and one notch in` the rear Ilegs thereof. These notchesare-ior thepurpose of holding the `strips `of ragmaterial in placeduring `therprocess -of making a rug. Figure 2 illustratesihow therug sbegun -and theamethod `of `knitting is as-follows: Y
Aftercutting some material; oldV garments, and one-half inch or wider, the strips-are'sewed together to provide `one continuousstrip Thelwidth of rug -desired is `measured to determine the number-of staples I I which are to'be utilized in knitting. -Aloop I8 is formed in bthe strip I9, `and preferably is `sewed to taround the-anchoring pin Ha at one end of the base vI IJ. "Thestrip I9 l'is'then drawn 'forwardly at an incline topassacrossthe bottom notch I2 of the firststaple Il; then around the second pin I1 and back and forth from staple to pin. The remaining portion of the strip I9 is then passed from the last utilized pin I1 to engage the top notch I3 of the last utilized staple II. A conventional hook 20 is used to lift the bottom strip indicated as A in Figure 5, up over and across the top strip indicated as B in Figure 5, and over the top of the upstanding member or staple II, to a position in back of the member II where it engages notch I6. Then the strip B is moved down from the top notch I3 tothe lower notch I2 at which time the strip B is in a position ready for the next round. This procedure is repeated at each member II or staple, back and forth until the desired length of rug is completed.
The pins I1 and IIa are necessary to begin the rug. As the rug is being made, the pins are used to p-in or stretch the rug away from the staples,
after one transverse row of loops are formed in.
the manner indicated generally in Figure Ll.
It will be noted that the notch I3 is inset relative to the notch I2 and the leg It. The legs are spaced apart at least one inch, or more, to keep the loops large enough and to permit the l The knitting is continuous, and when one end of `a row is completed, the method of forming the second row is the same only in a reverse direction.
It should be noted that the invention consists mainly in the knitting frame and the arrangement of the spaced aligned staples having the specially arranged notches formed in the legs of the staples, in conjunction With the anchoring pins which are carried by the base I 0 in staggered relation upon the base l0. It is realized that the method of knitting may be changed or modified or devised by the user of the frame without departing from the spirit of the invention, but it should be noted that the frame herein described provides a frame wherein a single continuous length or strip of material may be used to knit a -1 rug Without the necessity of Warp strips.
Certain detail changes in mechanical structure in the frame may also be made without departproviding warps or ing from the spirit of the invention, so long as these changes fall within the scope of 'the appended claims. Y
Having described the invention, what I claim as new is: i
l. A rag rug knitting frame comprising a base, plurality of transversely extending upstanding members secured to the base in spaced relation to dene a row of members extending longitudinally of the base, each member having a front portion having a plurality of vertically spaced notches, each member also having a rear portion having a single notch rearwardly of the notches in the front portion thereof, anchoring pins carried by the base rearwardly of the members and in staggered relation thereto,l the notches and f.
pins being adapted to receive a continuous knitting strip in a manner to facilitate the knitting of a rug with a single continuous knitting strip by anchoring the strip to one pin, then passing the strip around the bottom front notch of the adjacent member, then around theseco'nd pin and then progressively around the bottom notch of the next member and next pin, then returning the strip to engage the top front notch of the last member and finally lifting the portion of the strip l which engages the lower front notch over the top of the last member to engage the rear notch, and then continuing with the strip in like manner with respect to each member until the row of 4 knitting is completed, the pins also providing an# choring means for the strip as the strip is being stretched away from the members to knit succeeding rows.
2. A rag rug knitting frame comprising a base, a plurality of transversely extending upstanding members secured to the base in spaced relation to define a row of members extending longitudinally of the base, each member having a front portion having a plurality of vertically spaced notches, each member also having a rear portion having a single notch rearwardly of the notches in the front portion thereof, anchoring pins carried by the base rearwardly of the members and in staggered relation thereto, the notches and pins being adapted to receive a continuous knitting strip to facilitate the knitting of a rug with a single continuous knitting strip.
3. A rag rug knitting frame comprising a base, a plurality of transversely extending upstanding members secured to the base in spaced relation to dene a row of members extending longitudinally of the base,each member having a front portion having a plurality of vertically spaced notches, each member also having a rear portion having a single notch rearwardly ofthe notches in the front portion thereof, anchoring pins carried by the base rearwardly of the members and in staggered relation thereto, the notches and pins being adapted to receive a oontinuous'knittin'g strip to facilitate the knitting of a rug with a single continuous knitting strip, said pins being inclined rearwardly and upwardly relative to said members.
