Embodiment Construction

[0036]As shown in FIG. 1, the device is provided by a hollow body 10 having a passage extending therethrough extending in a vertical height direction. The hollow body 10 is formed by three main parts: a top portion 12, a bottom portion 14, and a connecting portion 16 that connects the top portion 12 to the bottom portion 14.

[0037]In the non-limiting embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2a-b, the top portion 12 is funnel-shaped with a wider portion being at the top at a top rim 12a. The top rim 12a surrounds a first hole extending through the top portion 12.

[0038]The bottom portion 14 includes an upper section 18 and a lower section 20. The bottom portion 14 may also be funnel-shaped, with the wider portion being at a bottom rim 18a of the bottom portion 14 for stabilizing the hollow body 10 on a surface. The bottom rim 18a surrounds a second hole extending through the bottom portion.

[0039]The top portion 12 is connected to the bottom portion 14 by a connecting piece 16 which is sufficien...

Abstract

A device and method for assembling a pouch from a sheet material, including a hollow body with a passage formed therethrough and a slot extending across a width of the hollow body configured to receive a tying piece, wherein a sheet material may be placed through the passage of the hollow body so that a necking portion is formed in the sheet material by wrapping the ends of the tying piece at the slot around the sheeting material and securing the ends of the tying piece together, after which a pouch is formed from the sheet material and the tying device that may be removed from the device.

Description

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0001]The object of the invention is to ease the formation of sheet material such as fabric or thin, flexible plastic into an enclosure formed by bringing the edge portions of the sheet material together, thereby to enclose the sheet material around a space or some content or filler material to be enclosed within the space at or near the center of the sheet material. The edge portions of the sheet material are held together to form a necking portion, for example, by a tying piece such as ribbon around the necking portion. The assembled enclosure takes the form of a pouch.[0002]One, non-limiting example of such a pouch is in the form of a wedding favor or wedding toss, wherein a sheet material encloses a small quantity of rice or candy, and tied with a decorative ribbon.[0003]One way of forming such a wedding favor is to place the sheet material flat upon a surface, place the intended contents of the wedding favor into the center of the material, and then draw...
