Unity heart assembly

摘要

A multi-piece ceremonial sculpture that when assembled creates a symbol for unity during a wedding, anniversary, or union ceremony. The method of assembling the sculpture is to insert a first bent-shaped heart piece onto a base and then insert a second bent heart-shaped piece onto the base each by means of pegs and peg holes. The first bent heart-shaped piece and the second bent heart-shaped piece may be fastened together through a hinge connection. Finally, a pin may be inserted through the hinge connection of the first bent heart-shaped piece and the second bent heart-shaped piece to secure the two pieces together. The completed assembly resembles one three-dimensional heart, yet maintaining the identities of each individual heart symbolizing two hearts coming together into a union.

1. A method of assembling a ceremonial multi-piece sculpture representational of a union and commitment in a ritual-based ceremony, which comprises the steps of:
placing onto a base a first heart-shaped piece having a first upper vertex, a half of a hinge connection adjacent the first upper vertex, a first lower vertex, and a peg projecting downwardly from the first lower vertex;
wherein the first heart-shaped piece has a heart-shaped central open area in its center and is folded at an angle along an axis bisecting its upper and lower vertices; and wherein the peg of the first heart-shaped piece is securely fastened into a corresponding peg hole in the base; placing onto the base a second heart-shaped piece having a second upper vertex, a half of a hinge connection adjacent the second upper vertex, a second lower vertex, and a peg projecting downwardly from the second lower vertex;
wherein the second heart-shaped piece has a heart-shaped central open area in its center and is folded at an angle along an axis bisecting its upper and lower vertices; and wherein the peg of the second heart-shaped piece is securely fastened into a corresponding peg hole in the base; aligning said first and second heart-shaped pieces by interfitting together the first heart-shaped piece's half of a hinge connection with the second heart-shaped piece's half of a hinge connection to form a hinge connection between the first and second heart-shaped pieces and inserting a pin through said hinge connection to secure together said first heart-shaped piece and said second heart-shaped piece thereby completing said ceremonial multi-piece sculpture such that the ceremonial multi-piece sculpture forms and portrays a heart shape from all radial viewing angles.
