Abstract
Convertible pompons having ornamental arrays such as fluffy projections at opposite ends of baton handles are constructed from pompon halves with half handles incorporating coupling mechanisms for connecting and disconnecting the handle halves. The half handle of one pompon half can be connected with the half handles of a plurality of other pompon halves to assemble the convertible pompons, and the pompon halves of the assembled convertible pompons can be separated and recombined with other pompon halves to provide a yet wider choice of convertible pompons.
Claims26
A convertible pompon assembly comprising
- a first ornamental array projecting from a first handle half,
- a second ornamental array projecting from a second handle half,
- the first and second handle halves incorporating a coupling mechanism having a coupling facility for interconnecting the first and second handle halves, thereby forming a unitary baton handle between the first and second ornamental arrays, and
- the coupling mechanism also having an uncoupling facility for disconnecting the first and second handle halves, thereby allowing one of the first and second handle halves to be interconnected with a handle half of another ornamental array.
An convertible pompon system comprising
- a plurality of pompon halves each having fluffy projections supported from a handle half,
- the handle half of a first of the pompon halves being separately engageable with the handle halves of more than one of the plurality of pompon halves for forming convertible pompons from different pairings with the first pompon half, and
- the handle half of the first pompon half being disengageable from the handle half of a second of the pompon halves and engageable with the handle half of a third of the pompon halves for switching between different pairings of the convertible pompon system.
