LokscrollTM   Old Idea + New Idea = Big Step Forward

The creaseless coiling of materials into a space saving cylindrical shape must have prehistoric roots. Surfaces, especially the one facing the center of the coil, are protected. Whether animal skin or document, this simple, protective, space saving storage method is as ageless as the wheel.

What cave couple wants dirt on their bedroll ?

Coiling material into opposing rolls allows all or part of its surface to be exposed without having to expose the entire surface at once. Attaching dowels at opposite ends of the material stabilizes & protects, prevents folding & crumpling, and allows “scrolling” between dowels. Attaching the ends of dowels to “sidebars” so that they can alternately rotate freely or be locked at a predetermined spacing creates a 

frame that exposes an area of material of a given shape & size anywhere along it’s length. One may “scroll” material from one dowel to the other, and the surface can be tightened or “relaxed”.

LokscrollTM Fabric Frame   A fresh approach that really works.  

The Sheriff of Nottingham’s edicts and warrants were always rolled up - a compact package for his deputies to serve on Robin Hood. As long as the words were readable everything was cool.

But ending up with crisp, clean, unwrinkled, unsoiled needlework requires a better solution. The “scroll frame” for needlework was a good - albeit problematic - solution until Lokscroll came along. Lokscroll has successfully addressed the problems that frustrated stitchers to no end for years.

 “Carol” a frame shop owner and early customer of ours here in Broken Arrow, OK once told me about mounting a cross stitch project that looked like “worn out hand towels”. It was handled too much and became soiled on the wrinkles. This just doesn’t happen with Lokscroll.

Lokscroll employs a unique cam-action fabric attachment system that allows fabric to slide back and forth in the slot for adjustment purposes.

Once torque is applied the fabric tries to rotate and pull the element out of the slot; but the torque also causes the element to rotate into the inward leaning slot walls. As more tension is applied, the  fabric is simply bound tighter; but the contact area within the slot is relatively large, thus eliminating the possibility of fabric damage.

This works on the same principle as a seat belt or purse strap adjustment.  Once fabric is attached, Scrolling/Tensioning knobs allow you to tighten firmly and scroll easily from one rod to the other without having to actually touch the fabric.

If you do embellished work (beads etc) we’ll show you a trick that will let you work with tight fabric without stretching, piercing, or other damage.
