Knot-tying tool for forming double loops

Abstract

A knot-tying tool includes a hand-held body with a pressing section at one end for securing a ribbon against an object, and first and second loop forming sections to assist in forming a decorative knot with at least two loops. The second loop forming section comprises a slit and a finger space to support loop reversal and insertion. The tool may further include markings indicating the knotting procedure.

1 . A knot-tying tool for placing a string for wrapping around an object, and forming a knot having at least two loops, comprising:
 a main body which may be hand-held by a user;   an intersection pressing section formed in one end of the main body for pinching an intersection of the ribbon wrapped around the object between the object and this intersection pressing section;   a first loop forming section provided in the opposing end from the intersection pressing section of the main body for hooking and folding one of two intersecting ribbon end parts extending from the first intersection; and   a second loop forming section provided between the intersection pressing section and the first loop forming section, for passing the other ribbon end part, extending from the above intersection, through under a first loop and reverse to form a second loop.   
     
     
         2 . The knot-tying tool of  claim 1 , wherein
 the second loop forming section is provided between the intersection pressing section and the first loop forming section, and comprises a slit for passing the ribbon therethrough after it was folded back from the first loop forming section  27 ; and a space section  30  for enabling the user's finger, grasping the second loop, to insert therein.   
     
     
         3 . The knot-tying tool of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a folding slit for folding the string at a 45-degree angle.   
     
     
         4 . The knot-tying tool of  claim 1 , wherein
 there are arrows and numbers printed on one side or both sides of the knot-tying tool for indicating procedures to form a knot with a string.
