Fig. 3 is a top view of another embodiment of an adornment according to the present invention.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view along ~ines IV IV in Fig. 3; and Fig~ 5 is a top view of a clothing accessor~ according to the invention.
Referring to ~igs. 1 and 2~ one embodiment of the adornment 1 according to the invention is shown having a decorative face 2 and a rear face 3 on which a pressure-sensitive adhesive 5 is applied al~ng with a removable paper backing layer 6. The deco-rative face 2 is formed by a layer of embroidery 21 on the fab-ric face 2 which is on a fabric face layer and which is ~titched thereon at the peripheries by stitches 9. In the convenient lo ca~ion shown, an opening 8 is provided which is the inlet to the pocket 4 formed between the two layers 21 and 2. Inserted in the pocket 4 is a scent-soaked pellet 7 which has the form of a disc or lozenge.
In Figs. 3 and 4, an adornment 1' is shown having a decora-tive face 2' and a rear face 3~ on which a conventional pres-sure-sensitive adhesive layer 5' is provided. The decorative face 2' is formed by a multi-layered piece of embroidery includ-ing the rear face 3' in the form of a layer and the front face 2' in the form of a layer which are stitched together at their ~2~
peripheries by stitching 9', save for an opening 8 ~hich acts as an inlet for a pocket 4' formed between the faces 2' and 3'.
Insertable in the pocket 4' is a scent-filled capsule 7' which is received therein and ruptured to release the scented ]iquid contained therein.
The adornments 1, 1' are composed of fabric and can be made in any of a range of sizes from lJ2" square to 3" square. While the scent-filled capsule 7' can be used for a delayed scentinc3, the scent saturated pellet 7, composed o felt or the Jike, im~
