642,987. Ornamental devices. SE, C. S., and YANG, T. C. April 22, 1948, No. 11058. [Class 93] In ornaments or toys of the kind comprising one or more strips of material each strip being formed by securing together a plurality of superposed sheets of paper or other suitable material by spaced lines of adhesive extending across the sheets from side to side, the end sheets of the, or each, strip being secured to end members or panels, the arrangement being that one end member can be rotated relatively to the other until said members are in back to back relationship thereby stretching the strip or strips to form a honeycomb or cellular effect, the, or each, strip is of crescent or concavo-convex shape. The end members may each be provided with a handle comprising a strip of material such as wood by which the ornament may be manipulated. Fig. 1 shows the sheets of paper 10, carrying adhesive 11 with crescent shaped strips 13 stamped out of the papers. In the form shown in Fig. 2 the ornament is built up of three crescent-shaped strips 16, 17 and 18, whose ends are attached to stiff paper backing 14 carrying handles 15. Fig. 7 shows an arrangement using three crescent-shaped strips 19, 20 and 21 where 19 is disposed horizontally with its concave side upwards and the other two are disposed side by side, one or either side of handles 15 with their concave sides facing outwardly and being slightly upwardly inclined The Provisional Specification is not limited to the use of crescent or concavo-convex shaped strips.
