ABSTRACT:
A novelty design apparatus has an elongated body member with an outer surface and first and second ends. An elongated body member has an outer surface and first and second ends. A flexible elongated tube is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the body member. One end of the tube is secured to the first end of the body member with the remainder of the tube slidably and rotatably embracing the body member. The central portion of the tube has a plurality of elongated slits which expand into a variety of design configurations when the free end of the tube is rotated, and slidably moved towards the fixed end of the tube. A guard element or disk is secured to the elongated body member to prevent the expanded central portion of the tube from being crushed or distorted when the novelty member is placed on a flat surface with the elongated tube in its expanded position.
