GRIPE-PAPER FEBTOON.
Application led latch 5, 1927. Serial I0. 173,098.
This invention relates to paper articles andA more particularly to paper festoons adapted to be used in various well understood manners for ur'poses of decoration.
5 A paper festoon of t is character ordinarily consists of two superposed strips or ribbons of crepe aper having marginal fringes, and in use't e festoon is customarily twisted to give a spiral effect and suspended 1n loops about the space to be decorated:
The principal object of this invention is to provide simple yet eliicient means for easily and economically reinforcing the paper festoon against lon itudinal strain, and
for the attainment of t is purpose, a string is longitudinally disposed intermediate the superposed strips of crepe paper and is secured therebetween by pasting the two strips together over the central longitudinal string.
I aml aware that paper festoons have been made by stitching two strips of. crepe paper together along their longitudinal median line, but the manufacture of s iich strips requires the provision of expensive machinery which is adapted to furnish a festoon of limited length, thestitches are apt to unravel in use, and the resultin perforations' in the crepe paper appreciab y weaken the paper. A festoon constructed in accordance 50 with the present invention is stronger than the stitched festoon and the expense of manufacture is considerably lessened owing to the s eed with which an article of unlimited ength may be repared and the saving in cost resulting rom the use of a single, straight string or thread instead of the double, looped thread in the stitched festoon. p
A crepe paper festoon embodying the in- 40 vention is illustrated in the' accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 shows the improved festoon twisted in spiral form for use;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the festoon with a portion of the top paper strip broken away to show the disposition of the string; and
Fig-3 is a section onI the line 3-3 of Fi 2. l n Ihe article preferably consists of two 'so similar superposed stripsft and 5 of narrow crepe paper ribbon, and a strin thread or cord 6 longitudinally disposed etween the two strips substantially along the median line thereof. The strips are secured to each ,other and to the stringby the application of any suitable adhesive, such as paste, mucilage or glue, along said median line, referably leaving a. substantial rportion o the margins unpasted. These margins preferably have transverse cuts or slits, as at 7, providing the usual fringe of the iinished festoon, and in such case it will be seen that the longitudinal stress of the completed festoon is borne by the relatively narrow stri of material along the median line of t e ribbon. The reinforcing means provided by this invention is peculiarl adapted to strengthen a narrow strip of t is character.`
The festoon may be made by hand or by 70 appropriatemachinery. In case machinery is employed, it has been found that `several festoons may be pasted and fringed simultaneously with great rapidity, the speed of output being limited only bythe speed of the fringe cutters.
An article so constructed `will effectively resist the inherent tendency lof the crepe paper to stretch longitudinally under tension, is easy to manipulate and durable in use, and provides a festoon which is pleasing in appearance, especially when the crepe paper strips are tinted in harmonizing or contrasting colors.
It will be apparent that the festoon may comprisethree or more strips of crepe paper and additional strings pasted as aforesaid between each juxtaposed stri and thatthe intermediate layers may be co ored differentl than the outer layers in order to enhance w t e attractiveness of the article.
I claim: v
l. A paper festoon consisting of superposed strips of crepe paper and an` intermediate longitudinal string adhesively secured to the adjacent strips.
2. A aper festooii consisting of two superpose strips of crepe paper and a longitudinal stri disposed between the said strips substantially along the median line of the festoon, said strips being pasted .to transverse slits extending inward from the string and to each othel` along said each of its margins and being ad esively l0 median line. secured to said string substantially along 3. A aper festoon consisting of two suits median line. perpose strips of crepe paper and a 1on- Signed by me at Framingham, Massachugitudinal string disposed between the said seits, this twenty-fifth day of February, strips substantially along the median' line 1927.
of the festoon, each of said strips having CHARLES C. WILLIS.
