first embodiment

[0042]Referring now to FIGS. 1-5 of the drawings, in accordance the invention of a tassel 1, a cap 3 which can be frustoconical, frustopyramidal, dome shaped, bell shaped or otherwise and having a tapered profile with a peak 5 at its top and an open bottom, has affixed to its peak 5 a hanger 7 in the form of a loop 13 for suspending the tassel 1 from a wall or ceiling mounted hook, cord, or other device which can penetrate the opening in the hanger 7.

[0043]Extending outwardly and downwardly from the peak 5 are equally angularly spaced bars or wires 9 which form a cage 17 with an open bottom. One or more horizontal wires (not shown) may be affixed to the downwardly extending wires 9 intermediate the peak 5 and bottom of the cage 17 for reinforcement to prevent unwanted bending of the downwardly extending wires 9.

[0044]Each of the downwardly extending wires 9 is terminated at the bottom of the cage 17 with a support from which a tassel strand 15 can be suspended. The strands 15 are fo...

second embodiment

[0049]In the invention of a tassel 45 illustrated in FIGS. 6-10, the bottom ends 21 of the wires 23 may be bent to form horizontal pins 25. In this case, the elastomeric stopper ring 27 may have its apertures 29 evenly distributed about the circumference of the outside of the ring 27 with their axes directed radially inwardly.

[0050]In this embodiment, each of the strands 31 has a loop 22 attached to one end for placement over one of the horizontal pins 25. The ring 27 may be compressed and fitted onto the pins 25 with each pin 25 penetrating horizontally completely or partially through an aperture 29 in the ring 27 depending on the length of the pin and whether the apertures 29 extend from the outer circumference 33 to the interior opening 35 of the ring 27 or are blind apertures which only extend partially through the ring 27 from its outer circumference 33.

[0051]In accordance with the invention, a cap 37 which can be frustoconical, frustopyramidal, dome shaped, bell shaped or othe...

third embodiment

[0057]Referring now to FIGS. 11-15, in accordance the invention of a tassel 51, a cap 53 which can be frustoconical, frustopyramidal, dome shaped, bell shaped, or otherwise have a tapered profile with a peak 55 at its top, an open bottom, and a continuous wall, has affixed to its peak 55 a hanger 57 in the form of a loop for suspending the tassel 51 from a hook, a cord or other device which can penetrate the opening in the hanger 57.

[0058]Distributed about the inner circumference of wall of the cap 53 near the cap bottom are a plurality of equally spaced supports 59 from which one or more tassel strands 61 can be suspended. The supports 59 may be hooks 63, as shown in FIG. 12, over which a tassel strand 61 can be placed as seen in FIG. 11.

[0059]A form sustaining ring with apertures 62 distributed about its lower face serves as a stopper 65 for securing the strands 61 in place on the hooks 63. The stopper 65 is made of an elastomeric resilient material such as rubber or a rubber synt...

Abstract

A tassel has a cap with supports in the form of hooks or pins over which tassel strands are placed for suspending the strands from the cap. An apertured resilient elastomeric, form sustaining, stopper receives the ends of the supports for securing the strands on the supports. The strands can be replaced by compressing the stopper for removal from the supports and replacing the stopper on the supports after replacement of the tassel strands.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]It is known to construct decorative tassels for use with home furnishings, e.g., as tie backs for curtains or drapes, suspended from curtain rods, as coverings in entrance ways, and in many other similar applications. Typically, a tassel has a cap from which there are suspended a plurality of strands. Each strand can include yarns or threads of synthetic materials such as nylon or rayon or natural materials such as wool, one or more strings of beads, or any other flexible material or combination of such materials as will be known to those skilled in the art.[0002]It is known in the art to place the ends of the strands from which a tassel is formed inside a cap and fill the cap with a cement to hold the tassels in place. Such an attachment is permanent and the tassels cannot be changed. U.S. Pat. No. 2,102,746 to Reilly for Ornamentation teaches a method of mounting parallel cords which form a mesh with the use of an adhesive.[0003]It is also known to...
