ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the manufacture of circular wreaths, such as Christmas wreaths, is adapted for making either single-faced or double-faced wreaths, utilizing either artificial or natural wrapping materials.
Disclosed is an apparatus or machine for securing facing materials to an elongated, straight wire core to form a wreath section capable of being joined end to end with other similar sections in a separate, subsequent assembly operation to produce a circular wreath of selected diameter. The machine includes means for feeding a wire core in the direction of its length, while imparting intermittent rotational movement thereto about its own axis, with each such movement being on the order of approximately 180.degree. of angular travel about the core axis. The opposite sides of the core are thus alternately presented to the operator for positioning of the wreath facing material in longitudinal contact with the core. As the core is fed in the direction of its length, a wrapping wheel through which the core is advanced is rotated for the purpose of spirally wrapping a wire about the core and the facing materials, to produce the completed wreath section. Means is included, readily controllable by an operator, for stopping and starting the wrapping operation with both the wrapping wheel and the core advancing means being jointly actuated or stopped, independently of a separately controlled means for controlling the side-for-side intermittent rotational movement of the core element.
