Apparatus, systems, and methods for applying spin-art to fabric

摘要

A system, apparatus, and method for creating designs on an underlying material by spinning a platform on which the material is positioned while applying a coloring agent on the material through an aperture in an upper surface of a casing that houses the spinning platform.

主权项

1. A spinning device for creating art work on a material, the spinning device comprising:
a base including a plurality of leg members; a housing coupled to the base, the housing including an opening in an upper portion thereof; a lid assembly attached to the housing so as to be actuatable between an open position and a closed position, the lid assembly including a substantially cylindrical member; and a rotatable carrier member attached to the base and configured to engage, through the opening in the upper portion of the housing, a material holding device on which to mount the material, and to spin the material holding device about a spinning axis to allow a coloring agent to be applied to the material to spread under the action of a centrifugal force, the material holding device including a substantially saucer-shaped platform removably attached to a substantially plate-shaped member, the substantially plate-shaped member being a spiral plunger plate with a plurality of finger-shaped spiral elements curving outwardly away from a center portion of the substantially plate-shaped member, the saucer-shaped platform including a disk with a top surface arranged to support the material thereon during spinning of the material holding device, the platform further including a vertical wall extending from a circumferential edge of the disk toward the base, a radially outermost surface defined by the plurality of finger-shaped spiral elements of the spiral plunger plate facing a radially inner surface of the saucer-shaped platform defined by said vertical wall, a top surface of the spiral plunger plate facing a bottom surface of the disk of the saucer-shaped platform, the substantially cylindrical member including an open ended channel that is axially aligned with the material holding device so that the coloring agent can be applied to the material on the material holding device through the channel when the lid assembly is in the closed position.
