The ends of the needles are forked by slitting from the ends thereof to increase the appearance of fullness of the branch.

Description

United States Patent [56] References Cited UNITED STATES PATENTS 3,056,223 10/1962 Crane 156/257 X Primary Examiner-Philip Dier Attorney-Hill, Sherman, Meroni, Gross & Simpson ABSTRACT: Branch for artificial Christmas tree in which a metal rod having a slit extending across the top of the rod receives the end of a bead of a needled ribbon of plastic or metal foil wound about the rod in the general form of the spiral from the top to the bottom of the rod. The ribbon has a narrow bead extending along one side of the ribbon and fitting into a slot in the rod and wound about the rod and bent relative to the plane of the needled ribbon to place a twist in the needles of the ribbon when wound spirally about the rod. The needles of the ribbon are formed in side-hy-side relation by slits extending transversely of the bend and at equal leading angles relative to the bead. The ends of the needles are forked by slitting from the ends thereof to increase the appearance of fullness of the branch.
BRANCH OF WOUND PLASTIC RIBBON FOR ARTIFICIAL CHRISTMAS TREES BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Artificial Christmas trees have heretofore been constructed by slitting a ribbon of metal foil perpendicularly to bead extending along one edge of the ribbon. The bead has then been wound spirally about arod, serving as a branch for the tree, with the slit portions of the ribbon simulating needles and extending from the rod. Assembled branches are then inserted in a post forming a trunk for the tree and may be of various lengths to provide an artificial tree of the desired contour. Such a tree and method of making the branches of the tree is shown in my prior US. Pat. No. 2,889,650, dated June 9, 1959.
While such trees have been generally satisfactory and provide a good simulation of a natural tree, it has been difficult to attain the desired appearance of fullness of branches due to the fact that while the slitting of the ribbon is intended to place a twist on the needles, the needles actually extend perpendicular to the bead of the ribbon, giving an artificial appearance, even where two ribbons are wound about a rod in lapping relatron.
SUMMARY AND OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention improves upon the prior art artificial Christmas tree branches made from a plastic or metal foil ribbon, by slitting the ribbon at an angle relative to the bead, so the outer ends of the needles will lead the bead, and by slitting the ends of the needles to provide forked end portions of the needles to give the appearance of fullness of the branch. The head of the ribbon is also bent relative to the planes of the needles along a line extending longitudinally of the ribbon during the slitting operation, to cooperate with the leading angles of the needles and increase the twist of the needles.
A principal object of the present invention, therefore, is to increase the fullness of artificial Christmas tree branches, in which the needles are simulated by a slit ribbon having a narrow bead wound about a rod, by slitting the ends of the needles and inclining the needles to lead the bead of the ribbon.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved Christmas tree branch in which a ribbon of plastic material is transversely slit at uniform intervals for the length thereof to a narrow bead spirally wound about a rod, in which the appearance of fullness of the branch is simulated by inclining the needles at leading angles relative to the bead of the ribbon, by bending the head of the ribbon relative to the plane of the needles, prior to spirally winding the ribbon about its rod, and by slitting the ends of the individual needles to give a forked and full appearance to the needles.
These and other objects of the invention will appear from time to time as the following specification proceeds and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a view in side elevation of a Christmas tree branch constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention, showing the branch in a partially assembled state;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary side view of the rod for the branch, showing the head of a slit .ribbon in a slot extending across the rod at the initiation of the operation of winding the ribbon about the branch, and illustrating the tilt of the needles rela tive to the head of the ribbon; and
FIG. 3 is a plan view of a ribbon prior to winding about a rod and illustrating the ends of the needles of the ribbon slit to form forked ends of the ribbon.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF INVENTION In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings, 1 have shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a rod having a slot I1 extending diametrically across the end thereof and receiving a bead 12 of a ribbon l3, slit as indicated by reference character 15 to form a plurality of individual needles 16 extending laterally of the bead 12. The bead l2 holds the slit ribbon together as a unit and is wound about the rod 10.
The ribbon 13 may be made from a flexible material having sufficient body to maintain its general shape when slit, and to accommodate the bead to be bend relative to the plane of the slit portion of the ribbon, as shown in FIG. 2, and may be a plastic ribbon or a metal foil ribbon of a selected color, which usually comes in rolls. As for example, a green or white tree may be constructed from a thin plastic ribbon of the required color, while a metallic tree may be constructed from a suitable metal foil. The plastic may be a vinyl resin, or any other suitable plastic.
The ribbon may be fed from its roll and transversely slit to the narrow bead 12 to form needlelike members 16 of equal width throughout the length of the ribbon. The slitting of the ribbon to form the needles may be attained in a manner similar to that shown and described in my US. Pat. No. 3,067,796 and is no part of the present invention so need not herein be shown or described in detail. One material difference in the forming of the needles over that of my US. Pat. No. 3,067,797 is that the ribbon is slit at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal edge of the head, which may be of the order of between 78 and This positions the needles to lead the bead 12 at angle A which may be from 12 to 5". An angle of 'lead in the order of 10 has been found to be a satisfactory angle of lead.
In forming the needles, during the slitting operation and as a continuation of the forming operation, the bead may be bent relative to the plane of the body or needles of the ribbon by the slitter or by a suitable rolling arrangement, or by any other well-known means, placing a bend between the bead and needles at an angle B, as shown in FIG. 2. The angle of bend of the bead may be of the order of 10 relative to a vertical line extending along one side of the head, as indicated in FIG. 2. This bending of the bead relative to needles places a twist on the needles when spirally wound around the rod 10, which thereby enhances the appearance of fullness of the branch.
During the operation of slitting the ribbon to form the needles 16, the ends of the needles are slit as indicated by reference character 17 in FIGS. 1 and 2. In these figures, the slits are along the centers of the needles to provide forked end portions of the needles, further increasing the appearance of fullness of the branch. The slitting of the ends of the needles may be carried out during the operation of slitting the ribbon to form the needles, by a slitting blade in addition to the blade slitting the ribbon in the form of needles. The additional blade may act in cooperation with the blade for slitting the needles and may be stationary while the blade for slitting the needles may be movable or the blade may move with the blade for slitting the needles in cooperation with a stationary mandrel. The mechanism for slitting the needles and bending the bead relative to the needles is no part of the present invention so need not herein be shown or described further.
In FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, I have shown the needles slit at 17 along the centers of the needles to provide double tined forked ends of the needles. In FIG. 3, I have shown each needle slit from its end by parallel slits 19 to provide three tined forked ends of the needles. Any number of slits may be provided, but due to the narrow width of each needle, it is not practical to provide more than three tined forked ends for the needles.
In forming the branch, a slit ribbon I3, slit to position the needles I6 to lead the bead 12, as the needles extend outwardly of the bead, in which the bead is inserted at one end of the ribbon in the slot 11. Prior to insertion of the end of the bead of the ribbon in the slot ll, the rod may be coated with adhesive, either adjacent its opposite ends, or for substantially the full-length of the rod. The rod is usually in a vertical position during winding of the ribbon thereon and may be held at its lower end in the chuck of a spinner, spinning the rod to effect winding of the ribbon spirally along the rod under the control of the hand. The end of the ribbon, at the lower end of the rod, may then be taped or stapled to the rod in cooperation with the adhesive, to maintain the ribbon tightly wound about the rod, with the needles 16 extending therefrom and of a generally spiral form, as shown in FIG. 1.
The wound rods may then be inserted in drilled holes in a vertical post, forming the trunk of the tree (not Shown) and inclined at a selected angle relative to the vertical, as shown in my US. Pat. No. 2,889,650, and no part of the present invention so not herein shown or described further.
it should here be for an that while i have shown only one ribbon spirally wound about the rod along the head 12 of the ribbon, a double thickness of ribbon may be wound about the rod, if desired, to further increase the appearance of fullness of the branch. It has been found, however, that the slitting of the ends of the needles and inclining the needles to lead the bead as well as the bending of the bead relative to the needles is sufficient to create the desired appearance of fullness to the branch and that two ply strips are not usually desirable, except under special circumstances.
While I have herein shown and described one form in which the invention may be embodied, it may be understood that various variations and modifications in the invention may be attainedwithout departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts thereof.
