US Patent 6,065,504, granted May 23, 2000 to Micala Sidore of Northampton, Massachusetts, for a portable loom. The loom has a header, a bottom frame member and removable hollow side supports with threaded rods and abutment nuts for adjusting warp tension. Dowels fitted in the frame let the weaver make string heddles on site. The scan includes the USPTO web text of the patent, the title page, ten sheets of drawings (Figs. 1-26) and the printed specification and three claims. The drawings show assembly, heddle making, securing the pendant heddle bar and warp spacing, and rolling up a partly woven tapestry for transport.
