Application June 2, 1949, Serial No. 96,661
1 Claim.
This invention relates to a device representing the adorned head of a fantastic or grotesque being and adapted primarily for use as a novelty ornament for personal wear.
An object of the invention is to provide an attractive device of the above kind which may be readily and cheaply manufactured from existing articles commonly employed for other purposes.
A further object is to provide an ornament of the above kind which is simple and durable in construction, and which is readily adaptable for use as a hair ornament or as an ornament for attachment to the clothing of the user.
The exact nature of the present invention will become apparent from the following description when considered with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of an ornament embodyingthe present invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevational View thereof.
Figure 3 is a rear elevational view of the same, partly in section.
Figure 4 is a central vertical section taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a horizontal section taken on the line 55 of Figure 1.
Figure 6 is a view somewhat similar to Figure 3, showing a modification.
Figure 7 is a horizontal section taken on the line !1 of Figure 6.
Figure 8 is a fragmentary vertical section taken on the line 8-8 of Figure 6.
Referring in detail to the drawing, 5 indicates a solid body of semifrusto-conical form which preferably consists of a longitudinal half-section of an ordinary cork stopper such as commonly employed as a closure for bottles. The curved surface of the body .5 is used as the face of the figure, the ears of which are represented by vertically disposed insulated staples 6, such as are commonly used in electric wiring, driven into the curved surface of said body at the sides and near the top of the latter. A similarly disposed insulated staple 1 is driven into the curved surface of the body 5 midway between the staples 6 to represent the nose of the figure.
The eyes of the figure are provided between the staple 1 and the staples 6, and each consists of a fabric washer 8 adhesively secured to the body 5, and a conventional ornamental thumb tack 9 having its point driven through the center of the associated washer 8 into said body, said thumb tack having a colored head whose diameter is smaller than the external diameter of said washer. Thus, the head of the thumb tack represents the pupil of the eye, and the washer represents the iris thereof. The washer 8 is of the type commonly employed to reinforce paper tags and the like about openings thereof. A similar washe l0 and thumb tack II are similarly used to represent the mouth of the figure below the nose-simulating staple l. Relatively large rings I2 may be suspended by the ear and nose staples 6 and 1 to adorn the figure.
The hair of the figure is represented by a pompon of yarn l3 mainly secured on the top of body 5 by a staple M. In addition, two strands 15 of the pom-pon of yarn are extended across the top of the body 5 to and down the sides of the same, and then these strands are extended rearwardly through the staples 6 and brought across the back of said body and tied together at l6 to further secure the pom-pon of yarn in place.
Means is carried by and located at the back of the body 5 for attaching the figure to the wearer. Such means preferably includes a vertical safety pin I I having its back member 5 8 passing through the body 5, and its pin and keeper member disposed in back of said body for engagement with the clothing of the wearer. In case the device is worn in the hair, a comb I9 is attached to the safety pin by passing the pin member through the back of said comb as at 20 intermediate the ends of the latter. By engaging the comb in the hair, the device will be supported in place.
It will be apparent that by varying the taper of body 5, the positions of the staples 6 and T, the size and positions of the eye and mouth simulating washers and thumb tacks, the number of rings 12, and the form of the pom-pon of yarn, many different figures may be produced in the same general way.
What is claimed as new is:
In a novelty ornament, a solid head member, ear-simulating staples in the sides of said head member, and a hair-simulating pom-pon of yarn secured on the top of said head member, strands of said pom-pon being passed rearwardly through said staples and brought and secured together at the back of said head member.
