Application fiied'niiy 15,` 192e. serial N5. 1,252,640.' n

This invention relates totassels, a-nobject of the invention being to provide an'ornamental and attractive tassel whichY canv be manufactured and sold at an eXtremelylow price and which dispenses altogether with' the necessityfor an inner core member or block at the head of the tassel. n

With this androther `objects in view, ,the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and, combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out` dicated in Figure l.

Figure 4 isa view` in transverse section tothe precise details set forth but consider on the line 4-4 of Figure 2; l

. Figure 5 is a Vfragmentary perspective' view, illustrating one of the strands ofthe spiral covering member which constitutes the head of the tassel. l

l represents the tassel cord, 2 what is coni- Y in'only known in the trade as the bunch, and 3 my improved spiral clamping head. The spiral-clamping head 3 comprises a coiled strand,'such as illustrated in Figure 5, which consists of an inner spring wire 4 and an outer covering 5 `of silk, satin or any Vother suitable ornamental material. This strand is wound in spiral form and constitutes to av Y spirallyl wound head being-of normally less certain degree a spiral spring. It is smallest at its upper end, as shownV at 6, ror the pasfflbl fth l1 F tl sage o a cou -e run o e corc ui ier more, this coiled head 3 reduces in diameter toward itsV lower end, or, in other words, it

indicated in Figure 2. Y l l .'Inrconstructing the tassel, thel oord is looped or folded upon'itself, and the materi'alor threads forming the bunch. 2 are projected through. the looped portion of the .cord so that the intermediate portions `of the Vstrands of the bunch are supported onv the cord.v j The coiled head 3 is then forced downwardly over the looped portion 'of the cord and over the intermediate portionsof the strands forming the bunch 2, securely `clamping the intermediate strands of the bunch and forming a complete tass'el, as inn The grip of the spirallywound head 3 is sufficienty to hold the latter in place, and, i

in fact, `maintain all parts of the tassel assembled, but, if it is desired,the cord or strand may be knotted above theheadf al-j `though'this is by no means 'essential tov my invention.

-Various slight changes and alterations Vmight be made Vin the general .form of the myself at liberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scopeo'f the appended claim;

I claim:

A tassel of the characterdescribed, coinprising a cord having a loop therein, strands projecting-'through the loop *and constitut` ing aV bunch, and a spirally lwound resilient head movable on the cord and adapted `to be forced over Athe loopedl portion of the cord and the bunch and constituting an enclosure for .sa-id looped portion of thecord and the upper portion of the bunch, said i ABRAHAM sAcKs.
