Description
Nov. 8, 1966 M. HEIFETZ V ORNAMENTAL BOW Filed Oct. 13, 1954 FIG. IO
'INVENTOR. HYRON HE/FETZ ATMRNEX United States Patent 3,283,339 ORNAMENTAL BOW Myron Heifetz, Flower Style Originals, Inc., 15 E. 31st St., Jackson Heights, N.Y. Filed Oct. 13, 1964, Ser. No. 403,481 Claims. (Cl. 2-244) The present invention relates to ornamental bows or other decorative articles adapted to be worn in the hair or on dresses.
An object of this invention is to provide an ornamental article of the character described, having a spirally rolled edge-all around and made of such material that the spirally rolled edge will hold its rolled shape by itself without stitching or use of adhesive and without the use of a wire or other core, and which article is of longitudinal and transverse curved cross-section with the rolled edge extending toward the front surface of the article, and in which the rolled edge forms a resilient stiffening frame for said article so the article will normally hold its shape and will return to its normal shape after flexing. For such purpose it has been found that the use of cotton organdy cut on a bias will produce the desired effect.
A further object of this invention is to provide a method of manufacturing an ornamental article of the character described, which consists of cutting cotton organdy on a bias and spirally hand rolling the edge of said piece toward the front surface of said piece.
A device of this character may comprise several sheets of textile material which are juxtaposed and then joined together in their middle region by means of a staple or wire.
Another object of this invention to provide an improved ornamental bow or other ornamental device which can be fastened to the hair or dress by simple and reliable fastening means.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a novel method for manufacturing an ornamental bow or other hair or dress ornament of the aforedescribed character.
Still another object of this invention is to provide an ornamental bow which comprises several sheets of cotton organdy material which have hand-rolled round edges and which are held together by means of a wire or staple which is preferably covered by velvet material and to which is operatively secured fastening means by means of which the ornamental bow can be fastened to the hair or dress. 7
Yet another object of this invention is to provide handrolled round edges for the sheets of organdy cotton material which may form part of the ornamental bow of the aforedescribed character, thereby giving said sheets a resiliency so that they assume a convex curved configuratron.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention are inherent in the structure and method claimed and disclosed or will become ap ent for those skilled in the art as the detailed description proceeds in connection with the accompanying drawing:
FIGURE 1 is a plan view of one sheet for forming said ornamental bow prior to the hand-rolling operation for the edges with a portion broken away;
FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional ,view along line 22 of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a cross-sectional view along line 33 of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 4 is a plan view of one sheet for forming said ornamental bow after the hand-rolling operation for the edges;
FIGURE 5 is a cross-sectional view along the line 5--5 of FIGURE 4;

FIGURE 6 is a side-elevation of the sheet illustrated in FIGURE 4;
FIGURE 7 is a plan view of three of the aforedescribed sheets after the hand rolling operation in juxtaposed position with respect to each other;
FIGURE 8 illustrates a finished ornamental bow wherein the mid-regions of the three sheets illustrated in FIG- URE 7 are held together by means of a staple or wire;
FIGURE 9 is a cross-sectional view along line 9-9 of FIGURE 8, and
FIGURE 10 is a cross'sectional view along line 10-10 of FIGURE 8.
Referring now to the drawing, reference numeral 1 designates a piece or sheet of organdy cotton or similar suitable material. The sheet 1 is cut into a general elliptical shape by means of the usual clicker rule dies on the bias of the material. As shown in FIGS. 1, 4, 7 and 8, the threads of the warp and the woof each make substantially a 45 angle with the longitudinal axis of the elliptical shape as a result of the cutting on the bias. The lesser curved upper and lower parts of the sheet 1 are hand rolled toward the front surface of piece 1 so as to form the spirally rolled edges 2 and 3 which meet at points 4 and 5 forming thereby two pointed outwardly extending ends 6 and 7. The spirally hand rolled edges 2 and 3 convert the generally flat elliptical shape of sheet 1 into a more ornamental leaf-like shape. Furthermore, the area 8 of the sheet 1 between the edges 2 and 3 becomes more resilient after this hand rolling operation and also assumes longitudinal and transverse concave configuration at the front surface thereof as illustrated in FIGURE 5. Three finished sheets as described above are then juxtaposed with respect to each other in offset relation, as illustrated in FIGURE 7. A staple or wire 9 is then placed around the mid-region of the finished sheets and pressed or pulled, thereby pinching and pinning said sheets together as illustrated in FIGURE 8. The pinning effect of the staple or Wire 9 causes bunches or creases 10 to form at the mid-regions of the sheets to provide bow wing portions, and the wing portions may be pushed from the position of FIG. 5 to the position of FIG. 9 so that the front surfaces toward which the rolled edges are rolled assume a convex configuration. The change of the sheets from a concave shape at the front to a convex configuration at the front is primarily permitted due to the resiliency and firmness imparted to the sheets by the hand-rolled edges 2 and 3 thereof. The rolled edges hold the concavity and convexity of the sheets. The latter edges are spirally manually rolled and give a surprising stiffness and resiliency to the sheets which produces a frame-like effect that permits the reversing of the curvature of areas 8 inside the edges 2 and 3 from the position illustrated in FIGURE 5 to the position illustrated in FIGURE 9. The staple or wire 9 is preferably covered with a band 11 of velvet or the like material which hides said wire or staple. It will be noted that after the sheets have been pinned together the ensemble assumes the shape of a bow with wing portions at opposite sides of the middle. A clip mechanism 12 known per se, as for instance disclosed in US. Patent Re. 23,163, is secured to the staple or wire 9. The clip mechanism serves to secure the bow to the hair or a dress.
As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6, the piece of leaf 8 is of longitudinally and transversely convex curved configuration and is concave at the front surface thereof toward which surface the edges are rolled.
It is to be understood that the specific embodiment and manfacturing method disclosed in the drawing and described above is merely illustrative of one of the many forms which the invention may take in practice without departing from the scope thereof delineated in the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A head and garment ornament comprising a piece of cotton organdy cut on the bias and having a spirally rolled peripheral, curved edge all around said piece, said curved edge being rolled toward the front surface of said ornament and said ornament being of longitudinal and transverse curved configuration inside said rolled edge, and said rolled edge constituting a resilient'flexible stiffening frame for said piece to aid in holding its normal shape and to return said piece to its normal shape after flexing said piece, said rolled edge being normally re- I attaching together the longitudinal mid-regions of said superposed pieces and forming a pair of how wing portions for each piece on opposite sides of its mid-region.
3. The combination of claim 2, said means comprising a wire loop around said mid-regions and a flexible strip disposed about said wire loop and covering-the same.
4. The combination of claim 1, said edge comprising upper and lower outwardly curvededges meeting at their ends and forming outwardly extending pointed rolled ends.
5. The combination of claim 2, said peripheral rolled edge of each piece comprising upper and lower outwardly curved edges meeting at their ends forming outwardly extending pointed rolled ends.
