Modular loom for triangular or rectangular weaving

Abstract

The disclosure presents a modular pin loom system for continuous strand and/or traditional weaving utilizing interlocking molded plastic modules with embedded pins to construct customizable triangular or rectangular looms. The loom dimensions are readily adjustable from 12 inches up to 8 feet on each side using combinations of generic side modules matched with 45 or 90 degree angle end pieces to transform shaping. The flanged modules securely interconnect flush with one another to maintain loom integrity without distortion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular pin loom system for weaving comprising:
 a plurality of injection molded rigid plastic modules each having embedded pins protruding from a flat surface of the module; wherein the plurality of modules include different modules including:
 side modules in a range of lengths; 
 angle end modules; and 
 corner modules; wherein each module further comprises an integrated interlocking mechanism having either flanges or receiving holes for securely connecting to adjacent modules without gaps; wherein side modules feature customizable spacing of embedded pins to match desired loom dimensions when multiple modules are interconnected; whereby various combinations of side, angle, and corner modules modules can be interconnected edge-to-edge to construct triangular and rectangular shaped pin looms in sizes ranging from 12 inches to 8 feet per side. 
   
     
     
         2 . The modular pin loom system according to  claim 1 , wherein the side modules are produced in at least two different colors to aid in weaver visualization of corresponding edge pins across assembled loom. 
     
     
         3 . The modular pin loom system according to  claim 1 , wherein the rigid injection molded plastic provides non warping performance during weaving and stable precise positioning of embedded pins in matched modules. 
     
     
         4 . The modular pin loom system according to  claim 1 , wherein the side modules feature optional notches adjacent to embedded pins on the flat surface to capture and secure weaving thread ends without knotting around pins. 
     
     
         5 . The modular pin loom system according to  claim 1 , wherein the customizable spacing of pins provides fine to chunky gauges within the same loom construction kit to support weaving diverse materials. 
     
     
         6 . The modular pin loom system according to  claim 1 , wherein the flanges and receiving holes enable flush aligned interconnections between all modules, eliminating uneven edges or overhang. 
     
     
         7 . The modular pin loom system according to  claim 1 , wherein the modular components with embedded pins are manufactured utilizing precision automated processes for reliability and reproducibility at high volumes.
