Definitions
- ABSTRACT relates to a hand tool for the purpose of shredding decorative ribbons, such as used on gift wrappings, in such a manner that will make the ribbon more decorative.
- the object of this invention is a tool to eliminate the tedious work and time required to cut and curl a ribbon to make it more decorative, by simply pulling the ribbon through the tool.
- FIG. I shows the tool as held in hand with ribbon being drawn through it.
- FIG. 2 is a side view showing hinged joint of assembled tool, the shredding teeth, compression spring with post retainer, also the special configuration where the ribbon enters the toolv
- FIG. 3 shows the shredding teeth, mounted in the upper jaw of the tool, and the post spring retainer.
- FIG. 4 is a view of the bottom jaw of the tool with hole to accept the spring retainer post.
- FIG. 1 shows the invention, as held in hand, and the manner in which the ribbon is being stranded by being pulled through the tool when the jaws are pressed together.
- FIG. 2 is a side view showing first or upper jaw 6, hinged joint 7, the second or lower jaw 8, compression spring 9, spring retainer post 10, the shredding teeth 11, and the contoured portion of the jaws where the ribbon enters 12.
- FIG. 3 is a view of the first or upper jaw 6 showing the shredding teeth 11. These teeth can vary in number and size and are embedded in upper jaw, being held by means of spurs, (as shown in FIG. 7) and two elongated grooves 13 to reduce material required in manufacture.
- FIG. 4 is a view of the second or lower jaw 8 that comes into contact with the shredding teeth 11, two elongated slots (to reduce material required in manufacture), and hole 14 to receive spring retainer post 10.
- FIG. 5 shows an enlarged view of pinned type hinge 7 utilizing a headed rivet.
- FIG. 6 shows an alternate method of hinging, utilizing a suitable resilient flexible material.
- FIG. 7 shows an enlarged view of shredding teeth, detailing the punched out portion forming spurs that will hold the metal teeth in narrow slot provided in upper jaw 6.
- a hand operated tool for the purpose of stranding or shredding decorative ribbon such as used on gift packages and the like,
- said tool having a first jaw and a second jaw
- said teeth being pointed and arranged in a longitudinal row generally perpendicular to said axis about which said jaws swing,
- said points being adapted to penetrate a ribbon disposed between said jaws and to engage the jaw adjacent said points to cause said ribbon to curl and fluff up, thus making it more attractive, this being accomplished by pulling said ribbon through said tool,
- a post is fixed to one said jaw and said post is slidably received in an opening in the other said jaw whereby said post will act as a stop when said ribbon enters said tool and also serves as a spring retainer, holding the spring required to force said jaws apart after said ribbon has been pulled through, and will also act as a stop to keep said jaws from spreading too far open after said ribbon has been pulled through.
- teeth are in the form of a row of stamped metal teeth of suitable number and length, that when pressed against said lower jaw of said tool, will strand and curl said ribbon as it is pulled through.
