Description

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0051] FIG. 1 depicts the complete embodiment of the Novel Pattern Device with Method, comprising components numbered 2 through 41. Parts 2 and 5 represent the frame sections, consisting of two sides used as the top and bottom of the frame. These parts feature drilled pilot holes that align with each other to securely hold the center pins in place. Parts 3 and 4 are shown as the two remaining sides of the frame. When fully assembled, these four parts come together at right angles to form a perfect rectangular frame.

[0052] Parts 6 through 14 are illustrated as dowel center pins, which are positioned in the bottom base of the cylinders numbered 24 through 32 and inserted into selected pilot holes within the complete embodiment. Similarly, parts 15 through 23 serve as dowel center pins located in the top base of cylinders 24 through 32, also placed into selected pilot holes within the full assembly. The cylinders themselves, numbered 24 through 32, form the main body of the device and represent critical elements of the complete embodiment.

[0053] Finally, parts 33 through 41 illustrate the application of the Method on cylinders 24 through 32. Each cylinder is decorated with spiraled lines, alternating in left and right directions, with the exception of cylinders 26 and 27, which share the same rightward spiral pattern. Each cylinder is marked with a single spiraled line, contributing to the overall design and function of the complete embodiment.

[0054] FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment consisting of a cylinder wrapped with a paper sleeve featuring a glued edge and an embedded center bead plug located at both the top and bottom bases of the cylinder. For a summary of the pattern device with method, refer to page 3. A detailed description of this embodiment is provided in reference to FIG. 2 on page 8. Additionally, the paper sleeve is mentioned in the box kit contents on page 12.

[0055] FIG. 3 depicts an embodiment of a frame section consisting of top and bottom frame parts, each having grooved niches designed to house center nodes. This embodiment includes a cylinder with a tapered base plug and a center node, offering an alternative and replacement option for the embedded center bead plug shown in FIG. 2. The frame parts in FIG. 1, specifically parts 2 and 5 with drilled pilot holes and dowel pins 6 through 23, could be substituted with the matching grooved niches in the frame part and the tapered plug with center node from FIG. 3. By utilizing the embodiment in FIG. 3 as an alternative method to secure the rotatable cylinders within the frame, assembly time for the device can be significantly reduced.

[0056] FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment consisting of a flush-mounted tapered base plug with a center hollow, designed as a substitute for the center bead plug used in the embodiment of FIG. 2. This replacement plug is also compatible with the assembly shown in FIG. 1. The use of the plug depicted in FIG. 4 is intended to enhance assembly efficiency, particularly in a commercial production setting of the Novel Pattern Device with Method. Made from plastic or resin composite, this component reduces assembly time due to its streamlined design and ease of manufacture.
