Abstract
A multiple component tassel assembly includes a cord component that engages and hangs from a conventional supporting article. There is a head component having a decorative configuration and a tassel component, which includes a support member and a plurality of tassel strands that are suspended from the support member. The cord and the support member are releasably attached to the head component such that the head component depends from the cord component and the tassel component depends from the head component when the cord component is hung from a conventional supporting article.
Claims22
A multiple component tassel assembly comprising:
- means defining a cord component, which is selectively engaged with and hung from a conventional supporting article;
- a head component having a decorative configuration;
- means for releasably attaching said cord component to an upper portion of said head component;
- a tassel component, which includes a support member, a plurality of tassel strands and means for suspending said strands from said support;
- and
- means for releasably attaching said support member to a lower portion of said head component, whereby said head component depends from said cord component and said tassel component depends from said head component when said cord is hung from a conventional supporting article;
- said means for releasably attaching said cord component to said head component being separate and distinct from and spaced above said means for releasably attaching said support member to said head component.
