8 Claims.
This invention relates to the art of giftwrapping packages and provides a novel prefabricated hank of decorative ribbon whereby the ornamental pompon bows customarily used on gift packages may be easily and quickly fabricated even by a housewife who has had little or no experience in making such bows. It further provides a partially completed bow which may be kept, ready to use, by the gift wrapping departments of retail stores and the like, and very quickly convertedinto a finished bow, and attached to a gift-wrapped package.
In recent years the gift-wrapping of packages has become a highly commercialized business. Various manufacturers have placed many new and attractive wrapping papers, decorative ribbons and the like on the market, and the various womens magazines very frequently feature articles promoting these materials and new techniques for their use. One of the basic techniques which has been promoted, and which is now used on almost all fancily wrapped packages, is the ornamental pompon bow, fashioned from many loops of decorative ribbon to resemble a tufted ball. Such pompon bows are often illustrated in magazine articles of the type above referred to, and the reader is given directions for making them. However, it has heretofore been very difficult for a person, who only infrequently has occasion to do gift wrapping, and thus has no particular skill in such procedure, to make up a bow which is sufficiently attractive to add to the appearance of the package.
Furthermore it takes considerable time, even by skilled wrappers employed in department stores, to make a presentable pompon bow, and, during the seasonal rush periods, such as Christmas time, it is very difficult for them to turn out all the packages brought in for fancy wrapping.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a partially manufactured bow which is suitable for storing away until required for use and which then may be very simply converted into a completely finished, attractive and symmetrical pompon bow.
Referring now to the drawings, which illustrate both the prefabricated hank and a method of making such a hank;
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the initial step of forming a coil of decorative ribbon.
' Figure 2 is a perspective view of the completed coil of ribbon.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the completed coil pressed into a hank.
Figure 4 is a perspective View of the hank folded lengthwise upon itself and in the process of being notched.
Figure 5 is a view of the notched hank, unfolded, and tied about the portion thereof lying between the notches.
Figure 6 is a view of the hank, prefabricated as in Figure 5, being converted into a pompon bow.
Figure 7 is a view of the hank with one end portion thereof converted into the loops of a pompon bow.
Figured; is a view of the hank completely con verted into a pompon bow.
Figure 9 is a perspective view of another embodiment of this invention wherein the hank of Figure 3 is provided with slits, rather than notches, extending inwardly from the edges of said hank.
Figure 10 is a perspective view of the hank of Figure 9 with one end loop thereof pulled out and back to lie within a slit.
Referring now in more detail to the drawing, reference character I indicates a strip of decorative ribbon, of the kind, for instance, manufactured by Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing 00., Saint Paul. 6, Minnesota, and sold by it under its trade-marks Sasheen, Decorette and Lacelon. Said ribbon may be of any width suitable to the size of the package. It may, however, be noted that the width of ribbon customarily used for pompon bows is from for small packages up to about 3 inches for large packages. As indicated in Figure 1, ribbon l is wound into coil 2, the inner end of the ribbon being held in place on the next succeeding layer of ribbon by strip of cellophane tape or masking tape 3. I have found that, to provide an attractive bow, there should be at least three circumvolutions of ribbon l in coil 2, and in most instances, seven or eight circumvolutions will be desired. As will be apparent from the drawing, each circumvolution of ribbon will provide two end loops on the finished bow. Thus, when prefabricating the hank, the number of circumvolutions in the coil may be governed by the degree of fullness desired in the finished bow.
Coil 2, after being wound, is elongated and flattened into hank 4 by bringing together opposed portions of the circumference of the coil, as shown in Figure 3. The hank, thus flattened, is then preferably folded upon itself, intermediate its ends, and the corner portions thereof, 6, adjacent the fold, are clipped off, as for instance, by; scissors 1,to provide V-shaped notches 8. The portion of hank 4 lying between the apexes of notches'8, is then tied with string or ribbon '9.
It is preferred that notches 8 be V-shaped, both because such notches are easier to excise from the hank, and because a finished bow, made from a hank bearing such shaped notches, better retains its initial symmetrical appearance. However, notches of other shapes, such as semicircular or with square or substantially square corners, may be provided. Also, instead of notches, the hank may merely be slit inwardly from the edges thereof. A prefabricated hank provided with slits, rather than notches, is shown in Figure 9 of the drawings. In this embodiment of the invention, slits Ill perform the same functions as do notches 8 in the preferred structure; that is, they function to interlock the end loops of the hank in upstanding position to form the loops of the finished bow, as hereinafter described.
The end portions of ribbon 9 may be left long, as shown in Figure 5, to provide means for attaching the finished bow to the package, or they may be cut off and the bow attached by other means.
The prefabricated hank, shown in Figures 5 and 9, is suitable for manufacture in quantity and for sale in those forms to department stores and the like either for use in their own gift wrapping departments or for re-sale to housewives and the like who may wish to purchase the hank and themselves convert it into a bow. As above indicated, the hank can be stored away until it is ready for use, at which time it can very easily be converted (in the manner hereinafter described) into a bow far more attractive and symmetrical than any which could hitherto be made by anyone other than a skilled gift wrapper, and, even in the case of such skilled persons, an attractive bow can be created by them in much less time than was needed for previously known methods.
Figures 6 and 7 indicate the manner in which the prefabricated hank is converted into the pompon bow shown in Figure 8. After the hank has been tied, as shown in Figure 5, the innermost loop A on one end of the hank is disassociated from the loops overlying it by pulling said loop out sideways from the hank so that it will extend substantially perpendicularly to the hank. The loop A is then twisted and raised to upstanding position whereupon the narrow midportion of loop A interlocks with the notches on the remainder of the hank, and the loop A is thus retained in upstanding position to form one of the loops of the bow. The notch upon the outwardly facing edge of the loop A provides sufficient give to the loop so that it will not drop downwardly once it is arranged in upstanding position.
Loop B, which immediately overlies loop A in the hank, is then pulled out from the side of the hank other than the one from which loop A was removed, and it, in turn, is twisted and raised to upstanding position. This process is repeated, first to one side of the hank and then to the other, until all the loops on one end have been arranged, The same procedure is then followed in respect to the other end of the hank. Normally, the innermost loops of the hank, which are first pulled out and arranged, will form the central loops on the bow rather than those about the edges thereof.
Figure 10 illustrates the initial step in coverting the slit hank of Figure 9 into a decorative bow. The prefabricated hank is held in the manner shown and the innermost loop, B, is thereupon pulled out sideways and raised to lie within slit H3 in the same manner as hereinabove described in connection with the notched hank of Figure 5. In the case of the slit hank, corner portion II, which, in the notched hank, has been excised to form the notch, is caused to be folded over end loop B in the manner shown, when that end loop is disassociated from the hank.
The procedure above outlined can be easily mastered after only a very slight amount of practice, and the hank converted into a bow in a matter of seconds. It will readily be appreciated that the time-saving feature of this invention, in particular, is of great value and importance to busy gift wrap departments who, at certain times of the year, may be called upon to wrap hundreds and even thousands of packages where an ornamental pompon bow is required. The simplicity of the technique is also important to them (as well as to housewives) by reason of the fact that their h p, hired tra for s asonal rushes, may not be particularly profiicient, or proficient at all, at tying pompon bows by conventional methods.
It will of course be apparent that there are certain obvious modifications which could be made in the hank here described, and also in the steps and sequence thereof by which said hank is converted into a bow. However, it should be understood that such obvious modifications are within the spirit and scope Of this invention, and that the particular forms illustrated place no limitation thereon except as defined in the appended claims.
