Oct. 18, 1960 B. Y. JAQlS PACKAGE BOW v Filed Dec. 30, 1957 INVENTOR. 5/7/ )4 Jamea A T70 K United States Patent PACKAGE BOW Bill Y. James, 6 F St. Nw., Miami, Okla.
Filed Dec. 30, 1957, Ser. N0. 706,098
2 Claims. (Cl. 41-40 This invention relates .to the decorative arts and more particularly to gift wrapping or packaging generally and has for its primary object to improve upon the invention disclosed in my copending application, Serial No. 593,547, filed June 25, 1956, now Patent No. 2,862,321,
being a continuation-in-part thereof.
In my said copending application there is disclosed a package for making decorative bows that contemplates the employement of a plurality of elongated, perforated strips which may be struck from a blank in order to produce a bow substantially in the nature of that disclosed by my US. Letters Patent No. 2,774,164, of December 18, 1956.
Instead of using metallic fasteners as contemplated by said patent, the aforementioned application teaches how such fasteners may likewise form a part of the blank and be easily removed therefrom for use in producing a pin from the same material that is employed in the strips and, therefore, the loops from which the strips are made.
It is, therefore, the most important object of the present invention to eliminate the necessity of specially formed pin producing sections in the blank by utilization of one of the strips themselves.
Another important object of the present invention is to provide a bow pin that is made from an elongated strip having three holes therein as in the strips of the above-identified patent, the centermost of such holes being employed in a novel manner to form a pair of loops, together with an elongated stem upon which the strips may be threaded in a manner not unlike the method set forth in my patent.
Another important object of the present invention is to provide a bow pin of added attractiveness by virtue of the fact that the same has a pair of loops forming a center piece for the bow and constituting an integral part of the bow pin itself.
Other objects include the way in which the elongated lengths are folded longitudinally and placed in nesting relationship to facilitate threading of the perforated strips thereon; the manner of interlocking the stem portion of the bow pin with a portion of the loops; and the way in which the two lengths of the stem are used to hold the secondary loops in place and mount the completed bow on a package.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary, elevational view of a blank from which the entire bow of the instant invention is made.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the first step in the method of utilizing one of the strips of the blank shown in Fig. 1 to produce a bow pin in the nature of that contemplated by the instant invention.
Figs. 3 and 4 are perspective views showing the next succeeding steps of the bow pin producing method.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view illustrating the initial step of threading the strips on the stem of the bow pin.
ice
Fig. 6 is a vertical, cross-sectional view through a completed bow illustrating the position thereof on a package; and
Fig. 7 is a perspective view illustrating the way in which certain parts of the bow pin may be interlocked if desired.
A tear-out sheet or blank of suitable flexible material such as paper, light cardboard or the like is illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawing and broadly designated by the numeral 10. It is contemplated that the blank 10 be made available to the purchasing public in a package that includes wrapping paper and that suitable instructions relating to the method of forming a bow 12 (see Fig. 6) accompany the package.
It is noted in Fig. 1 that a plurality of identical, elongated strips 14 is set out in the blank or sheet 10 by perforated lines or lines of weakness 16 and that each elongated strip 14 is provided with a median hole 18 and a pair of end holes 20 and 22.
Pursuant to the principles of the instant invention, one of said strips 14 is employed to produce a bow pin shown completed in Figs. 4-6.
The said one strip 14 is first rebent upon itself as shown in Fig. 2, placing the terminal ends thereof in contiguous relationship and the openings 20 and 22 in alignment. Thereupon, the two relatively overlapped terminal lengths 26. and 28 of the strip 14 are creased longitudinally to present relatively overlapped sections 30, the two sections 30 of each length 26 and 28 being therefore, integrally joined by a longitudinal line of fold 32.
After the terminal lengths 26 and 28 are thus folded and while the same are relatively nested as shown in Fig. 2, they are cut along an oblique line 34 to present a point 36 for each length 26 and 28 respectively adjacent its creased or folded edge 32. Thereupon, as illustrated in Fig. 3, the terminal length 28 is inserted into and through the central opening 18 of the strip 14, such insertion being facilitated by virtue of the fact that the length 28 is relatively narrow because of its folding and also because of the threading point 36 that was formed thereon by the cutting along line 34. This presents a first primary loop.
Next, the aforementioned instructions will direct the user to insert the terminal length 26 of strip 14 through the opening 18 alongside the length 28 as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawing, to present a second primary loop 40. It is noted in Fig. 4 that the terminal length 26 becomes nested within the length 28, i.e., the sections 30 of length 26 are interleaved between the sections 30 of the length 28.
Accordingly, the loops 38 and 40 are interconnected by a common length 42; in fact, the length 42 of the loops 38 and 40 provide an integral interconnection therebetween and constitute the bight of the strip 14 within which the central hole 18 is initially formed in the blank 10.
The bow pin 24 being thus completed, is ready for receiving additional strips 14 in the manner illustrated by Fig. 5. The central hole 18 of one of such additional strips 14 is first threaded over stem 44 which is formed by the interleaved terminal lengths 26 and 28. The strip 14 being mounted on the stem 44 in Fig. 5, is thereupon rebent upon itself to present a pair of secondary loops 46 and 48 which are elongated as distinguished from the substantially circular configuration of the loops 38 and 40 and extend radially from the stem 44 appreciably farther than the loops 38 and 40. The end holes 20 and 22 of the strip 14 which forms loops 46 and 48 are thereupon threaded onto the stem 44.
A plurality of additional strips 14 are thereupon mounted on the stem 44 in a like manner and circumferentially olfset around the stem 44- to present the how 12 as illustrated in Fig. 6.
Finally, it is desirable that the terminal lengths Z6 and 2 8 be separated and extended laterally in opposite directions'beneath the secondary loops 46 and 48 as shown in Fig. 6, thereby holding the latter in place between the common length-42 of loops 38 and 40 and the laterally extending legs 50 and 52 thus formed. The pompon bow 12 thus formed may be attached to a package 54 in anysuitable manner such as by use of adhesive, cellophanetape or the like.
I In the event it is desired to maintain the substantially circular configuration in the loops 38 and 40 while the secondary loops 46 and 48 are being formed on the bow pin and prevent the common length 42 of the loops 38 and 40 from moving toward the pointed ends of the lengths 26 and 28, one of the sections 30 of the lengths 26 and-'28 forming the stem 44 may be cut transversely asshown in Fig. 7 to a point substantially coincident with the creased edges 32 to present a notch 56. The common length 42 extends into the notch 56 adjacent the central hole 18 interlocking the same with the stem' 44.
It is seen that through the construction above set forth, it isunnecessary to provide separate metallic fasteners as in my patent, the expense of providing the same and the difliculty of packaging such fasteners with the wrapping paper and the tear strip 10 being thereby eliminated. Furthermore, it is unnecessary to provide a tear-out portion in the blank 10 forproducing a bow pin since any one of the strips 14 may be employed for that purpose. Having thus'described the invention what is claimed as-new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. A package bow comprising a bow pin having a pair of loops each provided with a terminal length, there being a perforated length common to the loops and integrally interconnecting the same, the terminal lengths extending through the perforation of said perforated length and forming an elongated stem depending therefrom; and a plurality of strips beneath the loops, each 1 having a central hole receiving the stem, the strips being rebent upon themselves to present a plurality of secondary loops radiating from the stem, the ends of the strips having holes receiving the stem.
2. A package bow comprising :a bow pin having a pair of loops each provided with a terminal length, there being a perforated length common to the loops and integrally interconnecting the same, the terminal lengths extending through the perforation of said perforated length and depending therefrom; and a plurality of strips beneath the loops, each having a central hole receiving the terminal lengths, the strips being rebent upon themselves to present a plurality of secondary loops radiating from the terminal lengths, the ends of the strips having holes receivingthe terminal lengths, said terminal lengths ex tending laterally-in opposite directions beneath the strips, the secondary loops being appreciably longer than the loops'of said pin whereby the latter presents a center piece for the bow.
