1. Field of the Invention
During the Christmas holiday season, tinsel is applied to various forms of Christmas decorations. Tinsel is marketed in packages of elongated strands of tinsel which inevitably become tangled and render the application of individual tinsel strips on articles to be decorated very difficult. In addition, tinsel is also utilized in artistic displays during times other than the Christmas season. Accordingly, a need exists for a structure whereby individual strands of tinsel may be applied to articles to be decorated.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Various forms of ribbon dispensers and wire dispensers have been heretofore provided, but most of these are not suited to dispensing fragile tinsel strands.
Examples of previously patented wire and ribbon dispensers as well as other structures including some of the general structural and operational features of the instant invention are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,790,925, 3,206,782, 3,382,398, 3,396,888 and 3,811,611.
