CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENTA'IjIQN I Filed Feb. 16. 1934 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 k I t I Inventor 1i 5 B fi/lwzz/i' Patented Mar. 5, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention resides in the provision of what is known as rain or icicles for use in decorating Christmas trees, or for other decorative purposes.
At the present time, and as well known rain or icicle ornamentation is generally sold and used in the form of strips of metal, or metal compositions composed of lead and tin, tinfoil, or other material having a highly finished surface and these strips are applied individually in the decoration of the tree, being suspended from the branches in a manner to simulate either rain or icicles.
In accordance with the present invention a ribbon of any desired number of such strips or so-called icicles is provided for use either as a garland in the decoration of a tree or as a pendant as may be found desirable and in a manner hereinafter made manifest.
The invention together with its objects and advantages will be best understood from a study of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is an elevational view illustrating the application of the invention in the form of a garland.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary elevational view showing one form or manner of forming the ribbon.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is an elevational view of a pendant embodying the features of the present invention.
Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 2 of a slightly modified form of the invention.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary view of still another form of the invention.
Figure 7 is a detail sectional view taken substantially on the line 7-7 of Figure 6.
Figure 8 is a. fragmentary elevational view of still another form of the invention, and
Figure 9 is a detail sectional view taken substantially on the line 99 of Figure 8.
A consideration of the drawings will clearly disclose that the invention in its broadest form consists of one or more lengths of cord, or any other flexible material serving to connect a plu rality of strips of the so-called icicles in a manner to suspend the icicles either in garland form or in the form of a pendant as clearly suggested in Figure 1.
Referring to the form of the invention shown in Figures 2 and 3 it will be seen that there are provided two lengths of string 10-10 which are relatively twisted intermediate their ends as at 12, and extending through the loops formed by the convolutes of the cords are the intermediate portions of the individual lengths or strips 13 of tinfoil compositions of lead and tin, or other combinations of metal generally used in forming what 5 is generally known in the art as icicles.
In the form of the invention shown in Figure 5 a departure is made from that form of the invention shown in Figure 2 only in the knotting of the cord 11 as at 14 the knot alternating with 10 the strips 13.
In the form of the invention shown in Figures 6 and 7 the icicle strips 13' at their folded portions are secured by stitching 16 to a binder strip 17 which latter is in the form of a suitable length of tape of fabric, metal or of any suitable fireproof material. At intervals opposed portions of the tape are secured together by any suitable type of clip 18. y
In the form of the invention shown in Figure 8 instead of using individual icicles I use a single sheet of tinfoil, composition of lead and tin, or any other combination of metals, of any suitable length and width and slit the sheet on closely spaced transverse lines from one side edge to a point inwardly from the opposite side edge in order to provide a plurality of strips 13". In this form of the invention the side edge portion 19 is folded over a single length of wire or other flexible material 20 and is positively secured upon the body of the sheet in any suitable manner and as indicated generally at 21.
The invention in either of the several forms described may be used in the form of a garland by disposing the ribbon lengthwise of the branch 35 22 of the Christmas tree and securing the flexible member or membersthereof at the ends of the ribbon and also intermediate the ends of the ribbon as at 23 to the main stem of the branch. As an alternative, and as will be found desirable for trimming an end of a, branch of the tree the ribbon of icicles may be suspended from one end of the cord so that the individual strips 13 will bunch in a manner suggested in Figures 1 and 4 providing a pendant as contra-distinguished from the ribbon.
From the above it will be seen that in decorating the Christmas tree with icicles arranged in accordance with the present invention the decoration can be more artistically applied, and the placing of the icicles on the tree accomplished in materially less time, and with less waste than is the case where the icicle strips are applied individually as is now the present method.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:'. A
As a new article of manufacture, an ornament for Christmas trees and the like comprising a 5 length of cord and a plurality of ribbon-like members, representing a. row of icicles, connected with and all depending from said cord, each ribbon-like member being looped upon itself with the looped part connected with the cord the ends of the cord extending beyond the ends of the row, whereby said ends may be connected to a part of a tree and each ribbon-like member,-at its point of connection with the cord, being spaced from the adjacent member.
