Abstract
A decorative garland. A product and method of manufacture of garland includes a web having transversely cut center and border sections, and the center section has widely spaced transverse cuts and the border sections have narrower spaced transverse cuts. The cut film web is folded and then stuffed using a wire spine to hold a high density of cut film web. The stuffed web is then twisted causing formation of a helically rotated array of loops of the widely spaced transverse cut sections, and a tinsel-like material is positioned nearest the wire spine formed from the narrower spaced transverse cut sections of the web.
Claims15
A decorative garland, comprising:
- a web of cut film having a center web portion and border web portions, said center web portion including widely spaced cut, and transversely cut, film sections and each of said border web portions including narrowly spaced cut, and transversely cut, film sections;
- said cut film web folded longitudinally along a line through said center web portion of said cut film web such that said border web portions are disposed near each other and said center web portion forming a loop;
- and
- a wire spine holding said folded, cut film web with said wire spine twisted about said folded, border cut web portion and thereby forming a rotated display arrangement of said cut film web about said wire spine of said folded, border cut web portions disposed radially nearest said wire spine and said folded, center cut web portions disposed farther from said wire spine than said border cut web portions.
A decorative garland, comprising:
- a web of cut film including a first web portion having widely spaced cut transverse sections and a transversely adjacent second web portion having narrowly spaced cut transverse sections;
- said cut film web folded longitudinally along a line between the longitudinal borders of said cut film web such that a plurality of loops are formed of said folded cut film web;
- and
- a wire spine holding said folded cut film web with said wire spine twisted about said folded cut film web such that said loops form a helically rotated display arrangement along said wire spine and the transverse extensions of said loops on the other side of said twisted wire spine forming open ended, narrowly spaced cut film sections radially closer to said wire spine compared to the radial end of said loops.
