专利汇可以提供Tool kit and method for making paper sculpture articles专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且The tool includes a rod and a sleeve with a flange on the end thereof. The outer surface of the sleeve forms a gauge surface upon which a sheet of paper is rolled into a tube having a given diameter. The tube is placed over the rod which is supported on a flat surface; the sleeve and flange are positioned over the rod and tube and forced downwardly to crumple the tube between the flange and the flat surface. The crumpled tube forms a basic component for making paper sculpture articles, particularly when the tube is held in the compressed state and a twist tie member is inserted through the crumpled tube and tied and then the tube is allowed to expand to form a donut. By following certain method steps the donut or several donuts can be formed into various paper sculpture articles such as an artificial turtle, flower, pumpkin or mushroom. The parameters of the tool are such that a regular crimped pattern is formed in the crumpled tube along the total length thereof. The kit includes various items useful in making the paper sculpture articles, these items including a crimped tube holder, a rod for threading a string through the crimped tube, a container of glue, a stapler and staples, a plurality of twist tie members and a plurality of rubber bands.,下面是Tool kit and method for making paper sculpture articles专利的具体信息内容。
