This invention relates to tassels.l

An object of the invention is to provide an ornamental and attractive tassel in which the parts are securely held together on an improved tassel head.

Figure l is a view-in longitudinal section,

illustrating my improved tassel;

Figure 2 is a view in elevation of the upper portion of the tassel, showing the same partly broken away;

Figure 3 is a view in transverse section on A the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Referring more particularly tothe drawings, the tassel comprises a bunch 5, and 6 j designates my improved mold. The mold 6 has its upper end rounded, as indicated by Vthe referenceY numeral' 7, the lower end thereof being formed with a square or straight edge 8.

Adjacent the lower end of the mold 6 an annular groove 9 is provided, and said groove is adapted to receive cords or wlres` 10 for securing the bunch 5 to the mold 6.

The mold 6 is furtherv provided witha longitudinal central passage. 11, the purpose of which will hereinafter be more fully described.A i v vAfter the bunch 5 has been tied intothe mold 6 Va fringe 12 forthe mold is applied. This fringe comprises a wire strand 13 covered with silk 14. This silk covered wire strand 13 is then wrapped in a coil of the desired shape or form to receive the moldv 6 in such a manner as to have a snug fitthereon. This fringe 12 is adapted to be of ysuflicient length to cover the upper portion of the mold and extend approximately on a line with the top edge of the annular groove 9.

After the fringe 12 has been applied to lthe mold, a suitable cord 15 is attached .to

the tassel 9, said cord'be'ing passed through the longitudinal passage 11 in mold 6 vand f khas its free ends knotted, as indicated byV the reference.L character 16. In order to prevent thev cord l5 from passing entirelyv through the mold6 and at the same time to provide for retaining the fringe 12 in 'posi` 1 tionupon the mold, the cord 15 is knotted,

as indicated at 17, at the topof the mold.

From the foregoing it will be apparent that the present invention provides a -tassel `which may be readily assembled, and on which the tassel at all times will remain in position upon the head or mold, and at the same time, in a' tassel constructed in accordance with the present invention, the fringe may be readily removed by a loosening of the knot 17.

Tol give an additionalornamental and attractive appearance I locate around the mold 6 between the end of the coiled wire 12 yand the bunchk 5 what is known in thefart as a wired frill 18. Y l

Various slight changes and alterations might be made in the general form,V ofthe parts described without departing from my invention and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth but considerV myself at liberty to make such slight changes A andalterations as fairly fall withinV the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

I claim: Y v Y A tassel, ycomprising a mold having a longitudinal passage therethrough, andan anso n nular groove adjacent itslower end, a bunch secured'in said groove, a coiled silk covered `wire constitutinga resilient fringe located around the upper portion of the mold, a

wired frill vinterposed between the fringe'` and the upper edge of the bunch, a cord having its upper end projected through the .longitudinal passage of thev mold, and knots in said cord at both ends of the passage, one

the mold. Y v
