ARTICLES Harry White Akroyd, Philadelphia, Pa.
Application October 20, 1932,, Serial No. 638,723,
2 Claims. (01. 41--22 My invention relates to new and useful improvements in the art of ornamenting transparent articles, such as are formed from sheets of cellulose and gelatinous compositions, or the material known in the market at the present day as cellophane.
One of the objects of the invention is to form a casing or an enclosure by variously folding a sheet or strip of the transparent material and enclosing within said casing a core of ornamental material which will be visible through the casing to give the desired ornamental effect thereto.
Another object of the invention is to produce a continuous strip or ribbon of any desirable length and width which, due to the flexibility may be used as a tie for holding other articles or objects together or in place, the said strips or ribbon being formed by folding a sheet or section of the transparent material to form a casing in which an ornamental strip of tissue paper is housed. I prefer to use tissue paper because of its flexibility, and wherever ornamentation is referred to, it is to cover not only figures or designs, but also plain colors or combination of colors.
Another object of the invention is to form a strip or ribbon by folding a section of transparent material to provide three layers of said material, then fastening two of said layers together to 30 produce a casing and mounting an ornamental core in said casing.
Another object of the invention is to provide an ornamental article including an ornamental core located between at least two layers of transparent cellulose or gelatinous material.
A further object of the invention is to provide a corner tab as an article of manufacture by folding the transparent material into any desirable shape or configuration to produce a casing in 40 which the ornamental core of tissue paper is located.
With these and other ends in view, this invention consists in the details of construction and combination of elements hereinatfer set forth and then specifically designated by the claims.
In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, I will describe its construction in detail, referring by numerals to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application, in which:-
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary face view of an article produced in accordance with my invention with a portion of one of the layers of the transparent material broken away to show the ornamental core, and a portion of said core being broken away to illustrate another layer of the transparent material.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged and slightly exaggerated cross sectional view of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a face view of another article embodying the invention illustrating one way in which the article may be used on one form of a support.
Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3, the thicknesses of the parts being slightly exaggerated.
Fig. 5 is a face view of still' another article pro ,duced by the employment of my invention.
Fig. Sis a face view of the ornamental core used in the article illustrated in Fig. 5. V
Fig. 7 is a face view of the casing of the article shown in Fig. 5.
Fig. 8 is the blank of the transparent material used for producing the casing shown in Fig. 7.
In carrying out my invention as herein embodied, particular reference being had first to the article illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, wherein Ill represents a casing or enclosure of cellulose or gelatinous transparent material. Said casing is formed by folding a strip or section of the transparent material to produce three layers l I, I2, and I3, all of which are preferably co-extensive.
The layers l2 and I3 are secured together in any desirable manner, as by the use of an adhesive, but I am not limited to any particular means or method of securement. By fastening together only said layers I2 and I3, a space is left between the layers II and I2 in which is mounted the ornamental core l4 so as to be visible through the walls of the casing to give the desired appearance to the article without the necessity of delineating anything on the casing itself.
While the core I 4 can be produced from many materials having considerable flexibility or pliability, I desire that it be composed of tissue paper or some kindred substance because of its flexibility and because it can be colored, or otherwise cheaply ornamented to provide an inexpensive core having a high degree of aesthetic value. The core illustrated in Fig. 1, is shown as having an ornamental figure l5, which is cross hatched to repre-- sent colors.
Due to the inherent tensile strength of the cellulose or gelatinous material from which the casing is made, a ribbon produced therefrom is strong enough for tying parcels and the like, and the utility thereof is further enhanced by the folded edges which reduces the likelihood of tearing to a minimum. The ordinary methods of ornamenting transparent material of the character mentioned herein is much more expensive than by the use of my invention, and I have the advantage of being able to make up as many designs as desired by using diiferently ornamented cores, the ma.- terial for which can be purchased in the open market at low prices.
In order to further illustrate advantages accruing from the invention, I have shown the casing l6 which is made by folding a section or strip of the transparent cellulose or gelatinous material, as previously described, to form the layers l1, l8, and I9. Between the layers I1 and I8 is inserted the ornamental core and the complete article placed on a support 2|, such as a card, whereby the article functions as a border. Said article is fixed in place in any suitable manner, as by pasting the layer I9 to one face of the support 2|.
Another article constructed to embody my invention is shown in Figs. 5 to 8 inclusive, and is generally termed a corner tab. In this structure the casing 22, like in the other articles, is produced from a section of the transparent cellulose or gelatinous material fashioned. into a blank 23 and this blank is folded along the dotted lines 24 to provide the layers 25, 26, and 21, the latter being constituted of two sections. The ornamental core 28 is here shown as lined to represent color and is placed between the layers 25 and 26 and is visible through the walls or layers of the casing whereby the ornamentation of the core is imparted to the completed article. i It is to be understood that the corner tab may be of any desirable or suitable shape or configuration and when placed on the corner of a flat card or panel, said card or panel is positioned between the layers 26 and 21. The tab is then fixed in position in any suitable manner.
In every instance the ornamental core is completely enclosed and Whenever visible from both sides of the casing, said core may have differently ornamented obverse and reverse faces, or the core material may be folded so that both faces will be alike.
Of course I do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction herein shown and described as these may -be varied within the limits of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful is:-
1. An article of manufacture comprising a flexible transparent casing consisting of a section ofcellulose or gelatinous material folded upon itself to provide a plurality of layers of the same dimensions, said layers secured together with an adhesive, and an ornamental core of substantially the same dimensions as the layers of the casing and of material more fragile than the easing,-positioned in the space between layers forming the walls of said casing.
2. An article of manufacture comprising a flexible material folded upon itself to provide a plurality of layers which are secured together with an adhesive, and a core of ornamental tissue-paper positioned in the space between the layers of said casing.
