ABSTRACT:
The invention is an enlaceable serviette. An enlaceable serviette is a serviette which includes the means to enlace and secure a decorative pattern of folding. The basic enlaceable serviette includes only a napkin and a tie integrally attached to the napkin. The napkin is foldable into a decorative pattern suitable for presentation as a decorative piece at a table setting. The decorative pattern may be enlaced and secured by the tie which can be wrapped around the folded napkin and fastened. To use the serviette during a meal, the diner unfastens the tie and unfolds the serviette. The tie can also serve to secure the folding pattern of the napkin during storage and handling. The enlaceable serviette is particularly useful in institutional situations where large numbers of serviettes are used. The integral attachment of the tie to the serviette prevents its separation and possible loss during laundering, during handling and storage, and during the meal. The enlaceable serviette can also include a decorative patch attached to the napkin. The decorative patch may enhance the fastness of the tie or may direct the enlacement of the tie. Also, the decorative patch may organize and indicate the folding pattern of the napkin.
