Abstract

The objectives of the invention are to create an attractive, yet affordable, cost effective decorative bow for any occasion; create a single bow with an option of forming it into at least three different looks achieved by different positioning of ribbon layers; create a pull bow which uses less drawstrings than previous pull bow inventions; create a decorative bow which allows even distribution of colors when two or more ribbon layers are used given that the one ribbon color per layer is used.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A bow assembly comprising:
 at least two pairs of strips overlapping each other and folded in half, bonded at the point of folding with a drawstring, staples or any type of connecting device wherein, a strip on the bottom comprising of at least two bands after being folded is called first layer and the strip resting on top of the first layer comprising of at least two bands after being folded is called second layer;   at least one drawstring is bonded to said two pairs of strips and is positioned to run in the longitudinal direction between two bands of the first layer;   said two pairs of strips mirror each other comprising plurality of segments, spaced along their longitudinal direction.   Each segment starts and ends with a curved or diagonally cut narrow point (neck) where both layers of strips and the drawstring are connected with plastic clips, staples, wire or similar device so as to permit relative movement of strips and drawstrings along longitudinal direction.   When the drawstrings are pulled, the segments of both layers become loops thus forming a bow wherein each loop consists of at least two layers of ribbon.   
   
   
       2 . A bow forming assembly as claimed in claim number  1  wherein:
 Said first and second ribbon layer are slidably and therefore separable after the drawstrings are pulled.   
   
   
       3 . A bow forming assembly as claimed in claim number  1  wherein
 The method of separating loops comprise of manually sliding first and second layer apart from each other and gently tucking the first under second layer. The roots of each, in such way separated pair of loops, are to be slightly pinched to ensure the loops don't slip back under one another. To ensure even distribution of loops, separation of the first and second layer starts from the bow's bottom row and spiral around the bow toward the top.
