BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The invention relates to hand-held and fixable tools for use in hobbies and crafts such as in scrap-books, greeting cards, creative artistic embossing work, photography, etc.

2. Related Art

Several hand-held tools exist for embossing paper or media that use the tools with a template, a light-box, and a stylus in a technique called “Dry Embossing”. The user places the template on a light-box, and places the media on the template. This way, the user can see the pattern of the template's channels through the media, and he/she traces over the pattern by pressing the tip of the embossing tool on the media. The tip forces the paper or media into the template channel to deform the paper to create an embossed pattern, which is a raised pattern when viewed from the other side of the paper.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONS

The present invention relates to simple technique of using hand-held and fixable tongs-type embossing tool having pressure plate at the joint of two arms. The tool is fixed on an engraving block-cum-tongs-type embossing tool holder. One can easily use this tool for his/her own desired embossing design art by sliding and pressing both the arms in between the thumb and fingers while card paper is placed in between both tips. One can also use the tongs-type embossing tool without applying manual pressure by fixing the tongs tool on the engraving block-cum-holder with a pressure plate riveted at the joined end of the two arms of the tongs embossing tool.

The present invention also introduces engraving channel template-cum-tongs embossing tool holder in various sizes, shapes, depths and channel widths in curved, straight and French curve shapes for a variety of embossing art of one's own design. In addition to standard embossing techniques used such as with a template and ball head-tip and sphere head-tip stylus, the present invention is a new technique using a tongs-type embossing tool for embossing. The present invention also improves the template and stylus. The stylus has tapering half-circle-curved tips and tapering letter ‘V’-shaped tips and their holder or holding portion of stylus which rest on the index finger with a ball head and magnetic head of adjustable-size finger rings,

The first invention is a hand-held and fixable tool used for embossing art on card paper or similar material and the method of performing the art of embossing. The tool is like a tongs with two elongated arms joined at one end and with the open ends bent inward forming two tips. The tips are like upper and lower teeth. The shapes of the upper and lower tips have vertical oval's half curve and tapered slope from base to the tips. The tip on the upper arm is flat on both sides and the tip on the lower arm has a step like a slot on the inner side of the tip for bending card paper at that place. This is for preventing the upper tip from going down beyond a certain limit and preventing tearing and puncturing of the card paper. At the other end, where the arms are joined, there are three holes. The first hole is for attaching the pressure plate. The other two holes are used for mounting the tongs-type embossing tool on a wooden block. The last hole is also used for tying a wrist strap. The Tongs embossing tool has knurling on the outside of both the arms. The upper arm of the tongs has a marked pointer arrow to allow the setting of required pressure on the pressure plate's dial. The upper arm of the tongs has a color sleeve or marking near the bend in the tip. The Tongs embossing tool has two more versions of designs for extra performance. In the first design, the upper arm's shape is bent in a convex curve and in the second design, the length of the upper teeth-like tip is of greater height to accommodate larger-size paper for embossing. The Tongs embossing tools can be made of metal, plastic and a combination of plastic and metal. This is a handy tool so there are no sharp corners and edges. The present innovation of the tongs-type embossing tool and its method of use are different from the prior invention of a template of half-round shape groove and stylus of ball head tips or sphere head tips of various patented styluses. Each template has one drawing or design on one side and another drawing on the other side. The user has no choice of his/her own drawing.

The second invention is an attachment for the Tongs-type embossing tool, being a round or oval-shaped pressure plate. This attachment is riveted at joint of the two arms of the tongs-type embossing tool in the holes provided. There is vertical knurling along the circumference on the side of the pressure plate. The pressure plate is in two shapes, a round shape for the normal-size tongs-type embossing tool and an oval shape for extended arms size (12″ or more in length) tongs-type embossing tool. The hole in the pressure plate is off the center. Both plates come with a number dial on the top surface for selection of the amount of pressure. Aligning the number on the dial to the arrow line marking on the upper arm of the tongs-type embossing tool sets the pressure level to the corresponding number. Higher the number, more the pressure. The pressure has to be adjusted as per the thickness and stiffness of card paper. These pressure plates are used for applying constant pressure on the paper for even embossing art by selecting a number on the dial. The pressure plate only works when the tongs tool is mounted on the engraving block or on any other surface with screws.

The third invention of the tool is the engraving block-cum-holder for the Tongs embossing tool. The block is made of transparent plastic material, and the rotating holder strip made of hard metal or plastic. This engraving block is rectangular in shape, the top surface has grooves and a metal strip at the end of the small side of the rectangle. The block has channels of three different shapes, namely letter “S” shape, half-round shape and letter “V” shape. Each shape has various depths and widths. These channels have various shapes, such as straight, round, French curve shape and various other shapes. There is colored borderline other than black and white at the edge of each channel groove. The block has four through holes in each corner for mounting purposes of engrave block. Two full thread hole at the edge of small side of rectangle engrave block and middle of the small side of rectangle engrave block for mounting of tongs embossing tool The base of the block has two strips of anti-skid rubber-type material. The micro pyramid shape or the micro convex shape texture finished surface at back side or bottom surface for the even spread of light and light reflection for better viewing of the printed outer border line on the engrave grove channel through the paper at the other side of the engrave block.

The fourth invention is attachable and detachable embossing tips of two different shapes, namely half-round shape and letter ‘ V’ shape. They attach to the arms near the bends of the two teeth-type tips of the tongs-type embossing tool. Made of metal or plastic, the attaching slot surface has four through holes with full threading. The tips are fixed on the arms of the tongs embossing tool with grub screws. The grub screws stay in the holes so they will not injure the user's hands. The tips are like male and female dies.

The fifth invention is triangle stylus. The triangle stylus has tips of three different shapes and sizes at three angles. The backside of the plastic triangle stylus has a round ball shape socket wherein the ball head has a self-adjustable size finger ring to be attached. The triangle stylus rotates on ball head finger ring. Triangle stylus and ball head ring made of plastic materials and triangle stylus made of ferrous metal can be used with magnetic head self-adjustable plastic finger ring.

The sixth invention is an elongated magnetic steel stylus with two differently sized tips at both ends. Stylus sticks to a self-sizing ring with a magnetic head, where there is a magnet on the head of the ring. The ring is made of plastic material stylus made of magnetic steel, ferromagnetic material or plastic tips combined with steel or ferromagnetic metals.

The seventh invention is of letter ‘Z’ shaped plastic stylus. Both ends of the stylus have been bent beyond the middle gripping portion into the letter ‘Z’, and the portion after the gripping portion tapers from all four sides to the edges of tips. Tips are not sharp like razor edges but rounded and are in half-round curve shape and letter ‘V’ shape with side extension and without side extension. The extension is parallel to the surface of the groove Channel, the gripper portion of ‘Z’ shape plastic stylus tapers to the middle center from both sides and the corrugated-shaped gripper portion

In the process of embossing one has to rest the paper on the template and hold it with one hand and with the other hand press stylus tip and moving or rubbing on the paper to find channel then guide stylus tip into the channel to emboss design in the template. In this process an embossing line always be half-round deep shape, width of embossing line always be same because of shape of stylus tip is round and shape of channel groove is half-round, design always be what is on template, you cannot create your own design,

Some of the limitations of those prior inventions of embossing tools are;

• • Stylus tip are ball shape only, the depth of the embossed line always half-round or less than half-round curve shape,
  • Stylus work with template only,
  • Channel groove finding by pressing and sliding stylus on paper by guesses,
  • Stylus slide in the channel of the template,
  • Stylus always follows designed in the template,
  • The width and depth of the embossing line did not vary.
  • The starting point and endpoint of the embossed line is like a half-round,
  • One has to apply pressure all the time manually on the stylus.

The present invention is a hand-held and fixable tool for creating your own beautiful drawings and design art embossing on card paper or similar material like aluminum foil, copper foil, plastic paper and printed paper. New methods of performing the embossing art.

The present invention of the embossing tool is like Tweezers shape or Tongs shape. The end portion of two open arms of Tongs is bent inward to face each other. The bending angle (A) in figure No. 7 is more than 95 degrees. That works as two teeth upper and lower. the teeth are tapering in shape from base to tip (1). edge, taper from all four sides. the lower tip the same as the upper tip and/or has a projection slot (2) below the edge of the tip, the distance between tip to project slot is between 0.75 mm to 1.5 mm. Depending upon the size and bending of teeth of tongs-type embossing tool, if the bending angle is more than 110 degree and tool length size is small e.g. less than 8″ than there is no slot, this slot stops the upper tip to going further down and band the paper from that point, the edges of tips are not razor sharp but round, so paper does not cut while being pressed in between two tips. Both tips touch each other like front and back. The lower tip is outside and the upper tip is inside so the embossing line of letter “L” shape forms on the paper and when either the paper or the tongs-type embossing tool is turned upside down the letter “L” shaped form in mirror shape. In between these two “L” shaped lines the embossing art line forms in the desired width and also where two “L” shaped emboss lines meet side by side a sharp-pointed art line is created. when the single “L” shaped line's both end joint the inside of drawing will be embossed.

The tips on the teeth made into the shape of half vertical oval shape or half-round shape tips (1), Hold tongs-type embossing tool in hand the thumb is on the upper arm and four fingers in under lower arm, Applying pressure on both spans in between thumb and fingers. so both tips come together and in between both tips, the card paper will be pressed to create an embossing line by holding card paper on the other hand and sliding tongs-type embossing tool on the paper. The embossing line in letter “L” shape deep and by rotating either tongs-type embossing tool or paper upside down the emboss line form in mirror/reveres of letter ‘L’ shape deep. In between two ‘L’ shape lines, the embossed line is formed so one can make the desired width of embossing line art. where two “L” shape line meets the pointed end of line form.

This Tongs embossing tool one can use it anywhere and in seating, standing, and sleeping position in hands without template or engrave channel block-cum-holder, use in-between thumb and fingers, The Tongs embossing tool is made of steel metal. The Tongs embossing tool also made of plastic (PT) and also made of plastic and metal combine (RP) in various size and shape but the shape of tips on the teeth type point remains the same, hence the art line embossing remains same. The present invention of embossing tool where knurling (3) on outer side of both span or soft plastic for better holding of embossing tool and one pointer mark (4) on top of upper span and three through-hole (5) at the joint of two-span first hole for attachment of pressure plate (PP) and last two-hole for mounting or fixing tongs-type embossing tool on wooden block or on the tabletop.

The present invention includes attachment of pressure plate (PP) on the hole (5) at the joint of two arms using nut and bolt (7) and then fix the embossing tool using rotating hard metal stripe (12) of FIG. 15 on engraving-cum-holder block (B) or on wooden block or on table-top using last two-hole (5) of embossing tool and screw (13). to stand the tongs-type embossing tool hold firmly. Pressure plat work only In this holding stationary position, for easy movement of paper and to rid of manual pressing on both the span of embossing tool one has to firmly fix the tongs-type embossing tool with attached pressure plate, The pressure plate is only moveable part in tongs-type embossing tool.

By rotating pressure plate on fixed tongs-type embossing tool from number 0 to 6 (20) the pressure will generate on the upper arm of the embossing tool while the lower arm is stationary. the benefit of controlled pressure one will get even depth or bump of embossing line all the time. both hands are free to moving card paper for desire drawing line direction for beautiful embossing design arts.

The only limitations are the size of the paper depends on the length of the tongs embossing tool where the size of the paper is bigger than the length of the tongs-type embossing tool. Larger-sized paper cannot rotate a full 360 degrees because the paper stops at the joint of two arms of tongs-types embossing tool. The present invention of tongs-types embossing tool wherein two more versions of the tongs-type embossing tool one the half-round type curve shape of upper span to accommodate the slightly bigger size of card paper by folding or rolled in extra space between two arms of the embossing tool. In the second version of the embossing tool wherein the height or length of the upper teeth is more than usual to accommodate the somewhat bigger size of card paper by folding or rolled in extra space between two arms of the embossing tool.
