Description
HENRY O. LEES, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN TASSELS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N o. 125,059, dated March 26, 187:2.
Specification describing an Improved Tassel-Top, invented by HENRY C. LEES, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Improved Tassel-Top.
M y invention consists of a tassel-top composed of Wood or other equivalent material, made of the desired shape, and flocked as described hereafter; the object of my invention being the production of a neat and cheap tassel-top resembling the more costly top in common use.
The figure in the accompanying drawing represents the top or apex of a tassel made in accordance With my invention.
The tops of ordinary tassels are generally made of Wood, clothed with strands of silk stretched lon gitudinally byhand over the wooden core, and confined to the. interior of the same with strings, the strands being bound to the core at intervals by silk wrappin gs. Tasseltops of a much more costly and elaborate style are made by machinery, which braids an outer cover of silk over a Wooden core.
With aview of making a cheaper tassel-top than those heretofore manufactured. l discard both of these plans, and adopt the following: I first turn a piece of wood to lthe desired shape, and then spread over it a thin coating of adhesive material, and While this is inl a sticky condition I dredge over or otherwise apply to the surface woolen, silk, or other ock. When the adhesive material is dry the flock will be found to adhere with sufficient tenacity, and
the flocked surfacewill present a neat appearance, the tasseltop, even when closely observed, appearing to be clothed with an appropriate fabric, and when observed from a short distance being scarcely distinguishable from an ordinary silk-clothed core.
I have found that ordinary china-gloss paint forms an excellent adhesive medium for the flock, but I do not desire to restrict myself to this material, as other adhesive substances or compounds may be used for the purpose. After the adhesive material is dry, the tassel-top may be wrapped at intervals with silk threads 21s, for instance, in the grooves a, b, and c so as to make the tassel-top resemble more closely those of a more costl y character.
The body of the tassel-top, instead ot' being made of wood, may be of any other equivalent material. It may, for instance, be made by molding it of papier-mache, or of other plastic material or composition.
I claim as my invention, and as a new article of compositionl A tassel-top consisting of wood or other equivalent material, made ofthe desired shape and having a flocked surface, all as set forth.
' In testimonywhereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
HENRY C. LEES.
