Thisfinvention relates to ornamental devices. It is directed to a decorative Christmas wreath provided with an, electrical candle unit. 7 p v An object of this invention is to provide a wreath of the characterdescribe-d having improved means for-rigidly supporting the candle simulating 'member.
A; further object of this invention'is to provide a neat, rugged, and highly decorative wreath "of the character described which shall'berelatively inexpensive to manufacture comprise few andsimple parts easily assemble-d, and which shall practical andefficient in use.
Other objectsof this invention will in part be obvious and in part hereinafter pointed out. 7 j r The invention accordingly consists in: the
yet be highly features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangement ofjparts which will be exemplified intheconstruction hereinafter described, and of which the scope of application will be indicated in the following claims.
In the accompanying drawing, in which is shown one of the various possible illustrative embodiments ofthis invention,
Fig. 1 is an elevational view of a Christmas wreath embodyingthe invention;
Fig. 2 isan enlarged transverse cross-sectional view of the core taken on the axis of the candle unit; I
Fig; 3 is a fragment of a portion of acore section with part of the candle unit broken away to show the interior construction;
1 is a fragmentary view of a portion of one of the core sections; and
F 5 is a perspective fragmentary view of a portion of one of the core sections illustrating the supporting tongue construction for the candle unit.
Referring in detail to the drawing, 10 des ignates a Christmas wreath embodying the invention, here seen to comprise an annular body portion 11 and a candle simulating member 12.
Said body 11 comprises an annular core 13made of a pair of complementary frame sections, 1 1, 15 of semi-circular cross-section 1929. Serial no. 357,660.
maintainedin assembled relation by an ornamental rope 16 wound around said core.
Said sections 14, 15 may be made of heavy cardboard, papier-mach or any other madterial suitable for the purpose described, and
are provided with sym metrical registering' V-shaped cut out portions 1 1*, 15 respective,-[
ly at the inner edges 14", 15* thereof respec; tively. When said frames'areplaCed together, the cut cuts, 14 15 provide an opening 2 5 for receiving th'ecandle simulating device 12, Sand device 12 COlljlJ IlSGSflrllOlllQW tubular member 17, made of cardboardor any other suitable material and colored and ornament ed to simulate a candle, Secured within the upper end portion 18 of said tubular inernber 17, is a lamp socket 19 for-receiving. the base 20 of a taper-ed'coloredlan1p21 simu lating a candle flame The lower end. portion 22 of said tubular member lTis inserted within said opening 25, said tube projecting radiallyltoward the center of'the wreath.
For rigidly supporting the tubular mem -L ber 17 and to prevent looseness or movement of said member, a tongue or tab. 26 is secured to one section 141 adjacent the outer edge 14 thereof, in alignment with the open; ing25. Said tongue 26 may comprise a separate pieceQJ having a portion 2,8.falstened as by. clips or stitching 29'jto the inner ,sur
lar' member, 17 thru the lower end'thereof, the
side'edges of said tongue frictionally engag ing theinterior surface of said tu be for sefe curely retaining said tubular member in'up- Although the tab 26 is shown" as a separatepiece secured to the frame section 14,
it-iwil-lbe understood that said section and tab portion may be made of one piece as from a single blankrof cardboard pressed into the desired shape, said tab being bent upwardly-- for projection into ithehollow of thetube 17;}
;;Electrical conductor wires 31; 32' attached to thecentral contact.33 and shell portion 345* right position and to prevent looseness there-l respectively of the lamp socket 19 form a duplex cable 35 extending downwardly thru the tube 17 and out between the frame mem-- bers 14, 15. Said cable may be tied into a knot 36 close to the core 13 to prevent movement of the cable within said tube 17. Said cable 35 may terminate in an attachment plug 38 for connection to a source of electric power. V
The body '11 may be provided at-the top portion thereof with a loop 40 for suspending said wreath, and an ornament 11 may be secured to said body 11 in any suitable manner adjacent the illuminating device 12 to enhance the decorative effect.
It will thus be seen that there is provided a device in which the several objects of this invention are achieved, and which is well adapted to meet the conditions of practical use.
As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention, and as various changes might be made in the embodiment above set forth, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in-the accompanying drawing, is to be-interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
, Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
' 1. In a wreath of the character described, a hollow core having an opening, a candle simulating member extending into said opening and projecting toward the center of the wreath, and means within said core for supporting said member, said means comprising a member attached to said core and projecting into the lower end of said tubular memher.
2. In an ornamental device, an annular member of substantially semi-circular crosssection having a tongue member integral therewith and extending from the outer edge portion thereof, and a tubular member receiving said tongue thru one end thereof, said annular member having a cut-out portion adjacent the inner edge portion thereof and in alignment with said tongue for receiving an intermediate portion of said tubular member.
, 3. A wreath comprising a pair of annular complementary sections of semi-circular cross-section, adapted to be fitted together to form an annular core, said sections having symmetrical cut-out portions registering to form an opening, and a candle simulating tubular member extending into said core thru said opening, one of said sections having anupstanding projection extending into the lower end of said tube.
4. A wreath comprising a pair of annular complementary sections of semi-circular cross-section adapted to be fitted together to form an annular core, said sections having symmetrical cut-out portions registering to form an opening, and a candle simulating tubular member extending into said core thru said opening, one of said sections having an upwardly extending tab portion projecting into the lower end of said member, a lamp socket secured within the upper end portion of said member and conductor wires secured to said socket and extending downwardly thru said tubular member.
5. A wreath comprising a'pair of annular complementary sections of semi-circular cross-section, adapted to be fitted together to form an annular core, said sections having symmetrical cut-out portions registering to form an opening, *and a candle simulating tubular member extending into said core thru said opening, one of said sections having an upwardly extending tab portion .projecting into the lower end of said member, a lamp socket secured within the upper end portionoi said member and conductor wires secured to said socket and extending downwardly thru said tubular member, said conductors being tied in a knot adjacent the undersurface of said core.
6. A wreath comprising a pair of annular complementary sections of semi-circular cross-section, adapted to be fitted together to form an annular core, said sections having symmetrical cut-out portions registering to form an opening, a candle simulating tubular member extending into said core thru said opening, and means disposed on an outer portion of the interior of said core engaging the end of said member.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
