Abstract

A device including a rod having an end portion and a hooked portion is presented. The end portion and the hooked portion are located at opposite ends of the rod. A support is connected to the rod. The support includes a many rod guides. The hooked portion is adapted to string filamentous material through at least one bead that has a thru-hole.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus comprising:

       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle coupled to the body portion.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further including at least one gear coupled to a rack and a trigger, the trigger adapted to rotate the at least one gear.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , further comprising: 
 a switch coupled to a power supply, and    a motor coupled to the at least one gear,    wherein the motor is adapted to rotate the at least one gear.    
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , further comprising one of a light-emitting device, a sound producing device, and a light emitting device and a sound-emitting device.  
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the rod is stationary and the bead stop is moveable.  
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the bead stop is stationary and the rod is moveable.  
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the rod and the bead stop are both moveable.  
   
   
       9 . An apparatus comprising: 
 a rod having an end portion and a hooked portion, the end portion and the hooked portion being at opposite ends of the rod;    a support coupled to the rod, the support including a plurality of rod guides, and    a spring coupled to the rod,    wherein said hooked portion adapted to string filamentous material through at least one bead having a thru-hole.    
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , further including a trigger coupled to the spring, wherein the trigger is adapted to compress the spring to move the rod.  
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , further including at least one gear coupled to a rack and the trigger, the trigger adapted to rotate the at least one gear.  
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , further comprising: 
 a switch coupled to a power supply and a motor, and    at least one gear coupled to the motor,    wherein the motor is adapted to rotate the at least one gear.    
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , further comprising: 
 one of a light-emitting device, a sound producing device, and a light emitting device and a sound-emitting device.    
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , further including a pistol handle coupled to the cylinder.  
   
   
       15 . An apparatus comprising: 
 a rod having an end portion, a hooked portion and a circular portion, the end portion and the hooked portion being at opposite ends of the rod;    a tab coupled to the rod, the tab adapted to rotate the rod through a bead stop;    a spring coupled to the rod,    wherein said hooked portion adapted to string filamentous material through at least one bead having a thru-hole.    
   
   
       16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , further including a trigger coupled to the spring, wherein the trigger is adapted to compress the spring to move the rod.  
   
   
       17 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , further including at least one gear coupled to a rack and the trigger, the trigger adapted to rotate the at least one gear.  
   
   
       18 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , further comprising: 
 a switch coupled to a power supply, and    a motor coupled to the at least one gear,    wherein the motor is adapted to rotate the at least one gear to move the rod.    
   
   
       19 . The apparatus of  claim 18 , further comprising: 
 one of a light-emitting device, a sound producing device, and a light emitting device and a sound-emitting device.    
   
   
       20 . A method comprising: 
 sliding at least one bead onto a rod having a hook portion;    hooking a section of filamentous material over the hook portion; and    threading the at least one bead onto the filamentous material,    wherein said threading the at least one bead onto the filamentous material is completed by moving a bead stop and forcing said at least one bead off said rod.    
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the forcing said at least one bead off said rod activated by pulling a trigger coupled to the rod.  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the forcing said at least one bead off said rod activated by closing a switch coupled to a motor.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the rod is one of straight or curved.  
   
   
       24 . A method comprising: 
 sliding at least one bead onto a rod having a hook portion;    hooking a section of filamentous material over the hook portion;    threading the at least one bead onto the filamentous material,    wherein said threading the at least one bead onto the filamentous material is completed by moving said rod through a bead stop and forcing said at least one bead off said rod.    
   
   
       25 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the moving said rod through said bead stop is activated by pulling a trigger coupled to the rod.  
   
   
       26 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the moving said rod through said bead stop is activated by closing a switch coupled to a motor.  
   
   
       27 . A method comprising: 
 sliding at least one bead onto a rod having a hook portion;    hooking a section of filamentous material over the hook portion;    threading the at least one bead onto the filamentous material,    wherein said threading the at least one bead onto the filamentous material is completed by moving said rod toward a bead stop and moving said bead stop toward said rod and forcing said at least one bead off said rod.    
   
   
       28 . The method of  claim 27 , wherein the moving said rod toward the bead stop and moving said bead stop toward said rod is activated by pulling a trigger coupled to the rod.  
   
   
       29 . The method of  claim 27 , wherein the moving said rod toward the bead stop and moving said bead stop toward said rod is activated by closing a switch coupled to a motor.  
   
   
       30 . The method of  claim 27 , wherein the moving said rod toward the bead stop and moving said bead stop toward said rod is activated by using a quick bead loading device.
