Ribbon And Yarn Dispensing Carrying Case

Abstract

A series of shaped apertures are cut or stamped through the walls of a carrying case. Individual strands of elongated flexible material extend from organized rolls or spools of the material stored inside the case out through each of the apertures. The high friction rubberized wall material surrounding each aperture holds the extending strands for selecting and cutting a desired length.

1 . A portable craft carrying case device for holding, transporting, organizing and dispensing ribbon, yam, and other rolled up flexible ribbon or cable-like material, the device comprising:
 a dispenser carrying case comprising a collapsible case having a bottom, at least one encircling vertical wall forming a top opening around an upper edge of the wall, and a closable top cover to enclose the case, the cover having a carrying handle thereon for transporting the case, the case being transformable from a first folded flat configuration when empty to a second open configuration forming an interior space therein for holding, organizing, and transporting a number of spools and rolls of elongated flexible fabric material inserted therein through the top opening, the at least one wall fabricated of a rubberized high friction flexible material having a plurality of small apertures therethrough communicating with the interior of the case so that an outer end of each of the elongated flexible fabric material is pulled from the interior of the case out through an aperture to extend out of an outer surface of the wall for access to the outer end from the exterior of the case for selecting, cutting and dispensing the elongated flexible fabric material from the exterior of the case with the cover of the case closed, each of the apertures sized and configured to hold the end of the elongated flexible fabric material with a tight friction fit to retain the end protruding from the case to prevent the elongated flexible fabric material from slipping back into the case, and to enable a user to withdraw a desired length of the elongated flexible fabric material holding the outer end with a first hand and cutting off the desired length of the material with a second hand while the high friction wall material surrounding the aperture holds the elongated material at the desired length, thereby providing a portable craft carrying case for holding, transporting, organizing and dispensing ribbon, yarn, and other rolled up flexible ribbon-like and cable-like material through the apertures.   
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein each of the apertures is formed by cutting an opening through the at least one wall. 
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1  wherein each of the apertures is formed by stamping an opening through the at least one wall. 
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the each of the apertures is configured with at least one shaped opening taken from the list of shaped openings comprising a round shaped opening, a single slit shaped opening, a cross shaped double slit opening, a rectangular shaped opening, a star shaped opening, and any desired shaped opening. 
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the case is fabricated of vinyl sheet material. 
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the case is fabricated of polyvinyl chloride material.
