stations into sockets on a platform the weaving platform in accordance with the principles of the invention allows simple repair and or replacement of stations because the stems are relatively thin and are exposed to forces imparted by elastic bands stretched over them they may be prone to breaking the platforms in the embodiments are circular having three rows optionally the platforms may be rectangular ovoid or any other shape and may have only one row or may have more than three rows running parallel in use elastic bands are stretched over two or more stems either on the same station or on neighboring stations a weaving utensil may then be used to pull a portion of one of the elastic bands through another band the stretched portion may then be attached to another stem in this manner a brunnion link is formed connecting the two bands this process is continued for many elastic bands over many stems to form a long chain of elastic bands all interconnected by means of brunnion links whereas the present invention has been described in relation to the drawings attached hereto it should be understood that other and further modifications apart from those shown or suggested herein may be made within the spirit and scope of this invention descriptions of the embodiments shown in.
