ferrule surmountingthe same. To the enlarged part or loop of the hanger is to beattached any flexible expedient, as a wire or string-by which to hang the ornament from a limb of the tree.
A fault with this construction i that, because the strip, preferably so as to project towardthe 'tongue or tongues 4.
Each tongue 45s to be bent'out of the plane of i the hody of the stripso as to lie in acute-angular relation thereto. If there is but a'single such tongue it is bent off so that the distance between its free end and the plane of the body of the stri exoeeds the diameter of the aforesaid aperture; if there are two such tongues they are'permanently bent off so that the distance between their free ends is greater than such diameter.
In short, the dimension of the hanger in a plane the terminals of the hanger-diverge downwardly within the ornament, the hanger becomes inadvertently detached; in short, their divergence invites their being cammed together when the ornament is subjected to an inadvertent pull independently'of the hanger, as in attaching the ornament to a tree.
My object here is to pro vide a decoration of the classset forth which will not be subject to this fault and which will be quite as inexpensive to manufacture as the conventional type of decorationfirst referred to.
in the drawing, Fi 1 shows one form of the decoration, with the ornament in section'and-thehang'erin edgewise elevation, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the hanger appearing in Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 shows another form, appearing also with the ornament. in section and the hanger in edge wise elevation, and Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the hanger appearing in Fig. 3.
The ornament may include any hollow body ornament proper having an aperture of less diameter than its interior. Such body is herein the form of a oall Ifor med with an opening 01' hole to to its interior. 2 is the usual ferrule also included, in this example, in the ornament and seated on the ball with its passage 20. in registry with the hole. But whether the ornament is in one or more parts is not material so long as it is hollow and has an aperture to its interior (here formed by hole iaand passage 2a).
The hanger is formed from an initially planii'orm strip 3 of sheet material, as metal, which, from a transverse line suitably remote from each end thereof, is slit toward but short of one such end along at least one longitudinally extending line to, though in this example (Fig. 2), it is slit on two such lines, such slitting lines here starting at the side edges of the strip. Each slit develops the strip with a tongue l. Between the tongue or, tongues and theend of the; strip toward which they project atongue 5' is cut from transverse thereof and coincident with the free end of a tonguev i is greater than the diameter of the aperture. The strip, of course, and hence the tongue or tongues are resilient.
With each tongue thusbent off so that the lower part of the hanger exists as a downwardly tapering transversely collapsible fo-rk, the hanger is introduced intothe aperture of the ornament as shown'in Fig. 1, during which operation the tongue or tongues forming such fork are cammed vaside, thereupon springing back to the normal 7 state shown to serve as a positive stop to removal of the hang'er. The parts are thus'capable of ready'assembly but cannot be separated without destructivel affecting one of them. 7
Tongue 5 is bent out as shown in Fig. 1 so that the hanger develops having greater transverse dimension in the plane of the free end of such tongue than the diameter of said aperture,
whereby-the hanger is formed above the tongue or. tongues i with a rest by which itis supported I by the ornament and so kept from falling thereinto. Incidentally, in forming the tongue a relatively narrow neck 6 is left oneside thereof around which the attaching wire or str ng may be looped.
In Figs. 3 and 4 the construction is essentially the same as above described excepting as to the tongues. The relatively lower tongue or tongues 53 are in this case formed spaced from both side edges of the strip, as by a transverse slit at 9 and three slits it extending from slit 9 length-. wise of the strip. The material of the strip is also here resilient and the tongues 3 exist per- To afford. the rest out from the side edge of the strip is provided. The improved decoration may be manufactured without appreciably greater cost than the known nently bent on as in Fi 3 so as to function V the same as the tongues 4.
