BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001]1. Field of the Invention

[0002]This invention relates to a universal adjustable pull bow, which includes a ribbon that extends around a package, with two tails, engaged with a cinch retainer for tightening, which cinch retainer is engaged with a bow or other decorative ornament, holding it on the ribbon.

[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004]Bows made of ribbon are well known in the art, and are used to secure packages as well as to provide a decorative appearance.

[0005]The manual formation of bows on packages is a process that requires care, and does not always produce a tight or attractive bow. As a result preformed bows have become popular, but securement of them to packages of varying size and shape, and packaging materials is difficult. U.S. Pat. No. 4,528,217 discloses an adjustable pull bow of a single length of material, with a bow portion and an adjustable loop portion, which has a stationary bow tail and an adjustable bow tail. The bow is tied in a knot with the adjustable loop portion around the package. This structure is subject to loosening as the bow can shift position, and the resulting product is limited to two loops and two tails.

[0006]The bow of the invention has two adjustable tails, can have a number of loops, securely holds the loops, and provides for combinations of bows and decorative items.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007]This invention is directed to a universal adjustable pull bow, which has a length of ribbon extending around a package with a cinch retainer through which the two tails of ribbon extend at the center, which cinch retainer can hold a bow or other decorative item to the ribbon.

[0008]The principal object of the invention is to provide a universal adjustable pull bow with two adjustable tails engaged with a cinch retainer, which also is engaged with a bow or other decorative item.

[0009]A further object of the invention is to provide a universal bow, which can be used on a variety of types and sizes of packages.

[0010]A further object of the invention is to provide a universal bow, which is easy to use.

[0011]A further object of the invention is to provide a universal bow, which permits placement at the desired location on the package.

[0012]A further object of the invention is to provide a universal bow which provides for greater securement to the package than other bows.

[0013]A further object of the invention is to provide a universal bow which is easy to manufacture, and suitable for mass production.

[0014]Other objects and advantageous features of the invention will be apparent from the description and claims.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015]The nature and characteristic features of the invention will be more readily understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof in which:

[0016]FIG. 1 is a view in perspective showing one embodiment of the universal adjustable pull bow attached to a package.

[0017]FIG. 2 is a side elevational exploded view of the bow prior to securing it to a package.
