2 Claims.

The object of my invention is to provide a novel corrugated wire ring for floral wreaths which, by reason of its shape, makes it possible to wire holly leaves, berries, flowers or other decorations, either real or artificial to the wire ring to form a decorative wreath.

I attain this and other objects of my invention by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of the wire formed into a ring and with a portion of the holly leaves which have form of a wreath secured to it by small wires;

Fig. 2 is a detail side elevation of a section of my corrugated wire; and

Fig. 3 is a detail edge elevation of a portion of my corrugated wire.

Like numerals designate like parts in each of the several views.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, 1 provide a flat-sided wire I having regular corrugations 2 formed throughout its length, the wire I being bent into circular form to form a ring or hoop. The end portions 3 of the wires are fastened together by smaller wires 4 which are wound spirally around the end portions and adjacent portions of the ring or hoop, as shown in Fig. l, and which by reason of the corrugations will secure and retain the wire I in a ring or hoop form. Member 5 designates stems of a branch carrying ornamental holly or other leaves 6. The stems 5 are secured to the ring I by small sections of wire 8, which are wound spirally around the wire I and stems 5, as shown in Fig. 1. Member 1 designates supplemental metal fasteners, preferably of ornamental form which may be used to secure the holly leaves, holly berries or other ornaments to the ring I,

While I have shown only holly leaves 6 in the drawing, it will be understood that I contemplate fastening any ornamental element such as holly berries or other ornaments to the wire I by means of suitable small wires such as the wire 8 or by supplemental metal fasteners I.

It will be noted that the numeral 6 is intended to designate any suitable ornamental decoration to the ring, such as mistletoe, laurel, cedar,

artificial flowers or natural flowers, leaves or ferns.

By providing a ring with open ends and corrugated form whereby the ends may be secured together by a small wire, the necessity of spotwelding the wire to form a ring is eliminated and also the shape of the corrugations makes it practicable to readily secure flower stems or other ornaments to the ring and the corrugations will prevent them from slipping after the wreath is made up. The corrugations also prevent the leaves or other ornamental decorations from twisting out of shape on the ring by giving more surface and a flatter surface than a plain ring would afford.

What I claim is:

1. In a corrugated wire ring for floral wreaths, the combination of a flat sided wire having corrugations throughout its length, the wire being bent into a ring and the end portions of the wire being fastened to the body of the ring, and smaller wires wound around the corrugations near the end portion of the ring.

2. In a corrugated wire ring for floral wreaths, the combination of a wire having corrugations throughout its length, the wire being bent into a ring and. the end portions of the wire being fastened to the body of the ring, and small wires wound around the corrugations near the end portion of the ring.
