DECORATIVE ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE.
Application filed May 21, 1923. Serial No. 640,414.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY M. CoNGER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Seattle, King County, l/vashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Decorative Articles of Manufacture, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a new article of manufacture for decorative purposes and more particularly to tinsel made in the form of streamers, stars, threads, crystals, or other figure design that may be hung or thrown irregularly over an object to be decorated or which may be placed loosely in bunches; it being the object of the invention to provide an article of manufacture of a highly decorative character that will enhance the appearance of the decorated objects in a pleasing and attractive manner and which is capable of giving prismatic effects similar to those of ice jewels and like substances.
A further object of the invention resides in the production of decorative tinsel formed in strips or streamers of transparent and iridescent material which may be made in any or all colors.
A stil1 further object resides in the provision of a decorative article of the above character that is not combustible or easily inflammable and which is of a tough and durable character.
In accomplishing these and other objects of the invention, I have provided the details of manufacture, an embodiment of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which T represents a bunch of very narrow ribbon-like streamers that are produced by cutting the same from sheets of material formed by the drying of a film of glutinous substance on metal or glass plates and which may be peeled off after becoming dry in very thin, transparent and iridescent sheets. These may be made in various colors by the adding of a coloring substance to the substance while in the liquid form and before it is applied to the drying plates. These streamers can be made in any desirable or suitable lengths and widths and of different figured designs. Preferably they are made from one-thirty-second to one-sixteenth of an inch in width and of considerable length. When the tinsel thus formed is draped or hung upon the object to be decorated and lights are placed to reflect on or shine through it, prismatic effects will be produced similar to those produced by the shining of light through ice crystal or like substances.
A very desirable advantage of tinsel so formed over other decorative substances of paper is that it is not combustible or even readily hurnable. It is very tough and does not break or fade in color, and can be used an indefinite number of times.
It is to be understood that while I have illustrated this new decorative article of manufacture in the form of tinseled streamers, I do not desire to belimited to that particular article or form. The material may be cut or moulded to assume various shapes, such as confetti, or cut into various figured designs, as fancy dress costumes to be worn.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is:
1. A new decorative article of manufacture, comprising a plurality of tinsel streamers cut from a film of glutinous substance; said streamers being in various colors, transparent and iridescent, whereby prismatic effects similar to those of ice crystals are produced by light rays.
2.- The process of manufacturing a new decorative article of the class described, which consists in drying a film of glutinous substance to form thin, transparent and iridescent sheets, thence cutting said sheets into decorative design.
Signed at Seattle, King County, Washington, this 27th day of April, 1923.
HENRY M. CONGER.
