Abstract
Abstract A decorative device is disclosed which is comprised of an extruded conduit having at least one inner bore adapted to receive decorative material. The decorative device may be placed in a groove or the like to form a decorative inlay. The bore may be of any suitable shape, and is adapted to receive braided material, twisted fiber, metallic cords, ribbons or other such materials of any selected colors or color combinations. The conduit may be transparent or translucent and is of a suitable damage-resistant material to permit its use on tables, bars, and the like, on musical instruments, and in other applications where inlays may be desired. Other than as part of a decorative inlay, the decorative device is applicable, for example, as an ornamental shade pull and the like.
