Primary Examiner--Patrick D. Lawson Attorney-Owen & Owen [57] ABSTRACT A frame usable first for stretching a fabric during the preparation of a needlecraft project and then for mounting the finished project. The frame has a :main border member which defines an opening across which the fabric is stretched. The border member has two grooves in its back side which extend around the opening. A retainer strip of proper cross section is adapted to be forced into either of the grooves with a web of the fabric; first into the outer groove during preparation and then into the inner groove for mounting and display of the finished project.

ATTYS FRAME FOR STRETCIIING AND MOUNTING A NEEDLECRAFI PROJECT BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION During the preparation of a needlecraft project such as a sampler," embroidery, needlepoint, or the like, it is necessary for the artisan to stretch the fabric by mounting it in some type of a frame such as old-fashioned embroidery hoop, so as to provide a firm web of material into and out of which the needle carrying the thread or yarn can be thrust and removed.
Many hobbyists prefer to purchase hobby craft kits for the preparation of needlecraft projects. Such kits contain not only a length of fabric upon which a design has been preprinted, but appropriate quantities of threads or yarns with which the design is to be made, needles or crochet hooks or whatever tools are necessary for preparing the design and, ofien, as oldfashioned double embroidery hoop across which the fabric is to be stretched during its completion. Some kits also contain a frame in which the finished project can be mounted for display. i
When a conventional embroidery hoop is used for the preparation of a needlecraft project, particularly where the project itself covers an area on the fabric which is greater in area than the embroidery hoop, it is necessary to move the fabric over in the embroidery hoop as each portion thereof is completed which requires that a completed portion be pinched between the two elements of the embroidery hoop during the preparation of a subsequent part of the project. This is not only undesirable inasmuch as it may damage the completed portion of the project but often is difficult to assemble the embroidery hoops with the fabric when they must grip a portion of the already completed pattern. In addition, of course, the embroidery hoop is an added item of expense and cost of the kit.
It is therefore a principal object of the instant invention to provide a frame specifically designed for use in a hobby craft kit relating to one of the many fields of needlecraft work, which frame is of such size as to accept and retain the length of the fabric upon which the design is to be worked both during the preparation of the project i.e., its actual fabrication, and after the project has been completed.
It is another object of the instant invention to provide a frame for needlecraft projects which enables a length of cloth upon which the work is being done to be mounted in the frame in two separate manners: first, during preparation when it is stretched tautly across the frame and the frame is used in the same fashion as an embroidery hoop and, second, after the project is finished, to mount the finished needlecraft project in the frame, with the excess material trimmed away and with the frame so designed as to hide any rough edges or selvage of the fabric and to enclose the completed project much in the fashion of a standard picture frame.
Other and more specific objects and advantages of a frame embodying the instant invention will be better understood from the specification and from the drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A frame generally indicated by the reference number 10 which embodies the invention is illustrated in FIG. 1 as constructed for the preparation of a rectangular needlecraft pro ject. In this embodiment of the invention the frame 10 comprises four straight side elements 11,12, 13, and 14 which are either unitary in construction or are assembled by conventional frame assembly means (not shown) to provide a border member generally indicated by the reference number 15.
As can best be seen in FIG. 2 the border member 15 has a cross section such as to define a front face 16, an outer side wall 17, an inner side wall 18, and a pair of grooves 19 and 20. The two grooves 19 and 20 open to the rear of the border member 15 and have substantially identical cross sections.
The frame 10 also comprises a retainer 21 (see FIG. 5) which is of such cross sectional dimension as to be adapted to be pressed with a web of fabric 22 or other material upon which the ncedlecraft project is to be prepared, into either of the two grooves 19 or 20. In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 1-5, the retainer 21 is illustrated as being an extruded length of somewhat flexible plastic material having a substantially U-shaped cross section.
When the hobbyist commences the project, the border member 15 is inverted on a flat surface and the length of fabric 22 is placed upon the rear face of the border member 15 with the preprinted pattern centered in the opening defined by the border member 15. The hobbyist then takes suitable lengths of the retainer 21 and forces a length of the retainer 21 and a portion of the web of the fabric 22 into one of the outer grooves 20 along one side of the border member 15 for example, that side defined by the element 14 as illustrated in FIG. 2. The hobbyist then stretches the fabric 22 across the border member 15 and similarly forces a length of the retainer 21 into the outer groove 20 on the opposite side of the border member 15. Sequentially the hobbyist stretches the material between the elements 11 and 13 so that it is stretched tightly in both directions across the border member 15 and retained therein by the compression of the retainers 21. The hobbyist then proceeds to prepare the needlecraft project using appropriate equipment such as a needle 23 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, keeping the fabric stretched taut in the frame 10 during this work.
After completion of the needlecraft project, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the hobbyist removes the retainers 21 from the outer grooves 20 and once again lays the border member 15 on its face on a fiat surface. The hobbyist then carefully centers the fabric 22 bearing its finished needlecraft project, as indicated by the reference number 24 in FIG. 3, in the opening defined by the border member 15. The hobbyist then takes the lengths of the retainer 21 and shortens them slightly so that they reach throughout the lengths of the inner grooves 19 and carefully forces the retainers 21 into the inner grooves 19 with the portions of the fabric 22 which overlie those grooves in order to securely retain the fabric 22 in the border member 15 in tightly stretched condition as illustrated in FIG. 4. The hobbyist may then trim off any rough marginal or selvage edge of the fabric 22 by cutting along the inner edge of a rib 25 which defines the outer side of the groove 19 and the inner side of the groove 20.
As can best be seen by reference to FIGS. 2 and 4, the groove 20 is defined by the intermediate rib 25 and an outer rib 26 which also defines the outer side wall 17. The inner groove 19 is defined by the intermediate rib 25 and an inner most rib 27 the side of which also defines the inner side wall 18. It will also be observed that the two ribs 25 and 26 extend rearwardly from the front face 16 a distance greater than the innermost rib 27. Thus, the outer side wall 17 and the rib 26 function as a perimeter border enclosing the entire frame and the edges of the needlecrafi project fabric 22 after the project has been finished and in order to provide a neat, clean appearance when the project is put on display.
A modified embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 wherein a frame generally indicated by the reference number 28 comprises an oval border member 29 and a retainer 30, in this case shown as a length of flexible plastic tubing. As in the case of the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 1-5, the border member 29 has two concentric rearwardly opening grooves 31 and 32 defined, respectively, by an outermost rib 33 and an intermediate rib 34 and by the intermediate rib 34 and innermost rib 35. The ribs 33, 34, and 35 also define an outer side wall 36 and innerside wall 37. The border member 29 has a front face 38. In this instance, the retainer 30 is a length of circular plastic material such as a tube so as to be easily bent around the oval shape of the border member 29 both when it is pressed into the outer groove 31 during the preparation of the needlecraft project and when it is pressed into the inner groove 32 after the project has been completed thus to retain therein a piece of fabric 39 upon which the needlecraft project, generally indicated by the reference number 40, has been finished.
