Device for producing decorative patterns on clothing

Claim 1

A device for producing decorative patterns on clothing comprising a housing, a motor mounted to said housing, stretcher carrier means operatively engaged with said motor, said stretcher carrier means including a first support arm, a second support arm, a first end block mounted proximate to the end of said first support arm, a second end block mounted proximate to the end of said second support arm, means for adjustably supporting said first arm support relative to said second arm support to permit the distance between said first and second end blocks to be varied, a plurality of stretcher means releaseably engaged with said first and second end blocks of said stretcher carrier means, said stretcher means being formed of different sizes to support various sized articles of clothing while the decorative patterns are produced on the clothing, cover means mounted to said housing, said cover means including at least one port, pliable flap means mounted to said port providing a closeable access to the interior of said device to receive the nozzle portion of a container of decorative paint to permit the application of decorative paint to the interior of said device and allow the decorative paint to be applied to the clothing to be decorated from various angles, and activation means electrically engaged with said motor and adapted to cause said stretcher carrier means to rotate within said housing while said paint is applied to said clothing to permit decorative patterns to be created on clothing.

Claim 2

A device for producing decorative patterns on clothing comprising a housing, a motor mounted to said housing, stretcher carrier means operatively engaged with said motor, said stretcher carrier means including a first support arm, a second support arm, a first end block mounted proximate to the end of said first support arm, a second end block mounted proximate to the end of said second support arm, means for adjustably supporting said first arm support relative to said second arm support to permit the distance between said first and second end blocks to be varied, a plurality of stretcher means releaseably engaged with said first and second end blocks of said stretcher carrier means, said stretcher means being formed of different sizes to support various sized articles of clothing while the decorative patterns are produced on the clothing, cover means mounted to said housing, said cover means including at least one port, pliable flap means mounted to said port providing a closeable access to the interior of said device to receive the nozzle portion of a container of decorative paint to permit the application of decorative paint to the interior of said device and allow the decorative paint to be applied to the clothing to be decorated from various angles, and activation means electrically engaged with said motor and adapted to cause said stretcher carrier means to rotate within said housing while said paint is applied to said clothing to permit decorative patterns to be created on clothing.

Claim 3

A device for producing decorative patterns on clothing comprising a housing, a motor mounted to said housing, stretcher carrier means operatively engaged with said motor and adapted to be rotated thereby within said housing, said stretcher carrier means including a first support arm, a second support arm, a first end block mounted proximate to the end of said first support arm, a second end block mounted proximate to the end of said second support arm, means for adjustably supporting said first support arm relative to said second support arm to permit the distance between said first and second end blocks to be varied, a plurality of stretcher means adapted to be inserted between the first and second end blocks of said stretcher carrier means formed of various sizes to permit clothes of various sizes to be supported so that the front of said clothing is separated from the rear of said clothing to prevent bleed through of paint during the decoration process, cover means mounted to said housing and formed with at least one self-closing port to confine decorative paint to the interior of said device, said self-closing port on said cover including pliable flap means closing the port to the area outside the interior of said device when said port is not in use, said pliable flaps on said self-closing port providing access to the interior of said device to receive the nozzle portion of a container of decorative paint to permit the application of decorative paint to the interior of said device and allow the decorative paint to be applied to the supported clothing from various angles, and activation means connected to said motor and adapted to cause said stretcher carrier means to rotate at variable speeds within said housing while said paint is applied to said clothing to permit decorative patterns to be created on clothing.

Claim 4

A device for producing decorative patterns on clothing comprising a housing, a motor mounted to said housing, stretcher carrier means operatively engaged with said motor and adapted to be rotated thereby within said housing, said stretcher carrier means including a first support arm, a second support arm, a first end block mounted proximate to the end of said first support arm, a second end block mounted proximate to the end of said second support arm, means for adjustably supporting said first support arm relative to said second support arm to permit the distance between said first and second end blocks to be varied, a plurality of stretcher means adapted to be inserted between the first and second end blocks of said stretcher carrier means formed of various sizes to permit clothes of various sizes to be supported so that the front of said clothing is separated from the rear of said clothing to prevent bleed through of paint during the decoration process, cover means mounted to said housing and formed with at least one self-closing port to confine decorative paint to the interior of said device, said self-closing port on said cover including pliable flap means closing the port to the area outside the interior of said device when said port is not in use, said pliable flaps on said self-closing port providing access to the interior of said device to receive the nozzle portion of a container of decorative paint to permit the application of decorative paint to the interior of said device and allow the decorative paint to be applied to the supported clothing from various angles, and activation means connected to said motor and adapted to cause said stretcher carrier means to rotate at variable speeds within said housing while said paint is applied to said clothing to permit decorative patterns to be created on clothing.
