Benefits of technology

This patent describes a tool for making decorative ribbon bows. The tool is made from a flexible sheet of material, like plastic or cardstock, and has a narrow slot in the middle. The tool is designed to be used with wire-edged ribbon, which is looped around the tool in a figure-eight pattern until the desired number of loops are formed. This process makes loops of ribbon that are equal in length. The middle collection of ribbon is then tied tightly with a tying material after the loops are slipped off the tool. The technical effect of this invention is a convenient and efficient tool for making beautiful ribbon bows.

Problems solved by technology

Holding all the loops in one hand gets tiresome and puts a strain on fingers thus limiting the number of bows a person can make in one sitting.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]The invention is a manufactured article rectangular in shape and the process utilizing the manufactured article as a tool to create decorative, ornamental bows from wire-edged ribbon.

[0017]The article is cut from flat, smooth, firm but flexible material such as sheet plastic or glossy, thick card stock. It is a flat, rectangular shape, whose width is equal to the diameter of the desired bow to be made, and the length is 1″ longer than the width. A slot is cut vertically up the middle of the rectangle, beginning at the bottom edge, perpendicular to the bottom edge, and ending 2″ short of the top edge, dividing the rectangle into 2 matching parts—the right side and the left side equal in width, and which are connected at the top edge by a 2″ wide bridge. The width of the slot ranges in size from ¼″ to ½″. Optimum is ⅜″. The 6 corners are rounded to remove sharp corners. Each article makes a bow of a particular size. Articles of various sizes would be required to make bows of cor...

Abstract

The Parker True to Form Bow Maker is a manufactured article whose purpose is to simplify the making of decorative or ornamental ribbon bows. It is a one-piece article, used as a tool, which creates ribbon loops of uniform length and enables the loops of the bow to be held by the tool, rather than in the hand of the maker. The tool provides a slot for the purpose of tying the loops together in the center of the bow. There are no movable parts in the tool. The process to utilize the tool is specific to this tool.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]PROVISIONAL APPLICATION 62 / 531,162STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]NOT APPLICABLEREFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX[0003]NOT APPLICABLEBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]The traditional way to make a decorative, ornamental bow out of wire-edged ribbon for gift wrapping or other decorative purposes, is to hold all the loops of ribbon in one hand while making additional loops in the other, twisting and transferring each loop from one hand to the other hand which holds all the loops together. Holding all the loops in one hand gets tiresome and puts a strain on fingers thus limiting the number of bows a person can make in one sitting. Tools have been devised to provide an alternate way to hold all the loops while the bow is being made, frequently involving a base board and dowels. A bow making tool that puts less strain on the hand and fingers is sought...
