FIELD OF INVENTION

[001] This invention relates to the field of decorative art work. This invention proposes an innovative manufacturing method of forming string art geometric patterns, which can be dynamically changed, by using a laser beam.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[002] Currently string art is formed by threads and design once made can’t be changed dynamically. Hence there is a need to develop a dynamic string art method.

It should be understood, however, that the following descriptions, while indicating preferred embodiments and numerous specific details thereof, are given by way of illustration and not of limitation. Many changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the embodiments herein without departing from the spirit thereof, and the embodiments herein include all such modifications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

[0010] The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting embodiments that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein. For example, it should be noted that while some embodiments are explained with respect to geometric patterns like cardioid, any other application may also incorporate the subject matter of the invention with little or no modifications. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.

[0011] The embodiments herein describe an intelligent method of forming dynamic string art patterns using laser light. Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1 through 4, where similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the figures, there are shown embodiments.

[0012] FIG 1 shows a circular string art frame 101. It consists of equally spaced holes/nails 102 along the perimeter.

[0013] Threads or strings are tied between these holes, based on some predefined mathematical formulae like addition, multiplication. [0014] ‘ ‘Curve stitching” is a form of string art where smooth curves are created through the use of straight lines.

[0015] In this invention, it is proposed to use a computer-controlled LASER light beam at each of these holes/stations, to form the curve pattern dynamically and automatically.

[0016] A dynamic light art device 101, forming circular curve by standard addition formulae, where laser beam at station 1 is pointing to laser beam at station 1+n, where laser beam at station 2 is pointing to laser beam at station 2+n and so on is proposed in this invention, where n is user selectable through computing device 103.

[0017] A dynamic light art device 101 forming curves like cardioid, nephroid, deltoid, asteroid etc. by standard multiplication, division formulae, is proposed in this invention.

[0018] A dynamic light art device 101 of claiml forming cardioid curve by standard multiplication formulae, where laser beam at station 1 is pointing to laser beam at station 1 *n, where laser beam at station 2 is pointing to laser beam at station 2*n and so on, where n=2, is proposed in this invention, where n is user selectable through computing device 103.

[0019] FIG2 shows the proposed device 201, which will be used at each station 102 in place of nails. In one embodiment, the device 201 has 3 faces, arranged like a triangle. It consists of a laser beam source 202 emitting laser beam 206. It also optionally consists of Laser beam sensor 203 and an optional reflective mirror 204. [0020] The device 201 is mounted on a computer-controlled motor 205, which can control the angle at which the laser beam is emitted, with a computing device 103 controlling the motor 205 angle at each station, to form the desired pattern.

[0021] Thus, by controlling angle of laser beam at each station, various geometric patterns can be generated. Example: 1-2, 2-4, 3-6, 4-8, 5-10, 6-12 etc. forms a cardioid shape as shown in fig4.

[0022] Example: 1-11, 2-12, 3-12, 4-14, 5-15, 6-16 etc. forms a star shape as shown in Fig. 3.

[0023] Number of stations/holes along the circular frame can vary.

[0024] Angle of the frame can be 360 deg or less, allowing for open walk through frames.

[0025] Different color laser lights can be used.

[0026] Smoke/mist can be sprayed to enhance the visibility of laser as it travels in air.

[0027] In one embodiment, the smoke/mist can be permanently enclosed, to enhance the laser beam visibility in air.

[0028] A clock display is added near the frame, making it an artistic clock with a dynamic user controlled art pattern.

[0029] The individual station angle and laser on/off is controlled remotely, by IOT technology (Internet of Things) from a computer or a smart phone.

[0030] Through a smart phone app, user can change the display to desired pattern. [0031] In one embodiment, to form “6 step” addition pattern: 1-7, 7-13, 13-19, 19-5, 5-11 etc. laser beam from stationl is reflected by mirror 204 at station 7, then by mirror in station 13 and so on.

[0032] The optional beam sensor 203 at station 7 can sense the exact angle in which laser beam 1-7 is travelling and self-adjust angle of station 7 , so no cumulative angle errors build up.

[0033] The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will so fully reveal the general nature of the embodiments herein that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such specific embodiments without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiments. It is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. Therefore, while the embodiments herein have been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments herein can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the embodiments as described herein.
