(Wip)Scroll For ScrollShelf - xchaosdragon666x - 02-04-2006
EDIT: Do to a lack of interest im no longer doing this idea
RE: (Wip)Scroll For ScrollShelf - raggidman - 02-04-2006
Actually, I am wondering if you have actually invented something entirely new - as in patentable invention = scroll holder.
You might have an internal spindle that you wrap the scroll around and the case is a cylinder that slides on and off one end to carry scroll;
Could be that the end of the scroll is wrapped around the outside of the case and you unroll it by attaching another spindle that is attached accross the top end of the scroll so that you wind from one to the other?
Gotta be lotsa ways this could be done?
If your scroll shelf is really big you could have notches that you can fit the handles into? So that you can see the side of the scroll;
or the scroll/s might fit in like a book into a bookcase.
Now look what you dun wiv me brain - it's gone like that flamed smilie = overworkin an on fire...
An anuvver fing, I keep seein your scrollcase in a shop in my head. Would you take it back please I am running outa room in me brain! :goodjob:

Edit: Ohhhhh i get what you mean Kind like a shelf with dowels on it
where you wrap the scroll around it and at one end you atach a tube to it and when you want to open it you put a dowel in the tube that way you could aplly preasure to the paper with out it tearing becuse the the tube would rotate instead of standing still
(and if some one want to patent anything that has to with scrolls go ahead no one uses scrolls anymore so im a few hundred years to late lol)
m glad it gives you idea but it is nothing new just changed the spnidil around
Look at this picture
![[Image: Small%20Scrolls%20various.jpg]](http://www.angelascards.co.za/images/Wedding%20invitations/Small%20Scrolls%20various.jpg)

And that's another variation on the theme.
Hah, I intended to write dowells originally,but I thought you might have difficulty with the word...
If you are happy to think in those terms, then you can also think about uses for the little cupboard in the bottom left:
- a display case?
- a built in holder so that the user could unroll and leave a scroll open on while reading?
- a fold-out desk?
ps, re patents I think you would find there are millions of apparently obscure patents active...thing is they cost money. Many modern machines use ancient tech.
