Abstract: A tool for curling gift-wrapping ribbon has two arms which are pivotally mounted at one end and have a pad and blade at the other end. Closing the arms clamps a ribbon between the pad and blade and the tool can then be drawn along the ribbon to produce a curled effect.

Abstract: A ribbon curling device (13,110) for attachment to a spool (11,116) of gift wrapping ribbon is engageable on or around the spool such that the spool may rotate relative to the device in use. The device defines a ribbon exit pathway for guiding the ribbon to a curling edge (19,47,115) whereby a length of ribbon drawn from the spool may be curled.

Abstract: A ribbon curling device to facilitate the curling of a length of decorative ribbon such as gift wrapping ribbon includes a housing for storing the ribbon, a curling edge associated with an exit aperture in a wall of the housing, and a guide spaced from the curling edge to guide the ribbon to the curling edge and determine the approach angle of the ribbon to the curling edge to facilitate the curling of the ribbon as it is drawn along the curling edge. The guide is further provided with an integral drag surface for imparting a frictional drag on a portion of the ribbon as it is drawn along the guide. The ribbon curling device includes several alternative mechanisms for varying the approach angle of the ribbon to the curling edge to thereby vary the amount of curl to the ribbon, including a variable length guide edge, a ribbon guide movable with respect to the curling edge, and a rotatable guide cam having a number of guide faces.
