M.K.HNLAYSON Aug. 9, 1927. v v 1,638,250
FLOWER RECEPTACLE Filed Oct. 6, i925 Patented Aug. 9,1927.
MIMA K. 'F-I-NLAYSON, 0F 'LOS'ANGELES, oA I-FonN-IA'.
FLOWER RECEPCEACLE. my
Application 'filed October 6, '1925."Seria1*No.' 60,753.
lhis invention particularly pertains to a device for holding and supporting flowers'm flower-receptacles, such as vases, jars and the like, and has as its primary object'the provision of.a.means'wherebythe stems of flowers may be engaged and supported adjacent the top ofthe receptacle.
Another object is to provide: a holder which is especially adapteditor use as a mounting forshort-stennned flowers whereby such flowers may be attractively arranged in tall receptacles and in containers such size and s rape asare not ordinarily suitable for this purpose.
Another object is to provide .a flower holder which embodies flower-engaging member supported one standard and adapted tobe placed in a tall or deep receptacle and substantially supported on the bottom thereof, and in which thestandard is so constructed as to be longitudinally adjustable whereby the flower-engaging member may be positioned at various levels'and thereby accommodate the holder for use in receptacles of various heights.
Another object is to provide a simple and eflective means whereby the length of the standard may be readily adjusted. v A further object is to provide a stand for displaying flowers which will facilitate artistic arranging and grouping of flowers in a receptacle, and which will impart to shortened stem flowers the appearance of having long stems.
lVith the foregoing objects in view, to-
gether with such other objects and advantages as maysubsequently appear, the'invention resides generally in the provision o1 a stand comprisinga longitudinally adjustable standard supported on a base men her and carrrying a flower-engaging member adapted to receive and support the stems of flowers. p
The invention further resides in the parts and in the construction, combination and arragement of parts hereinafter described and claimed and illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a view in vertical section of the flower-holder showing it as appliedv to a a vase; Fig. 2 is a with a bowl or jar;
View in section showing the flower-holder as employed H1 con unction Fig. 3risa detail in perspective illustrating :tragmentary,)portions o-t'thc adjustable standard as separated;
Fig. 4 isaplan View of a screen ortoran'iinated wall employed in the 'flowerucngaging member; Fig. -5 is'qaview 'iin elevationillustrating a modified form of the invention. 7 i Referring to the drawings more in detail, A indicates a base member on which is mounted :a standard comprising telescoping members B and C adapted to be adjusted to various positions longitudinally of each other, andD'indicates generally a flowerengaging member 'carriedby the standard and which :may beiof any suitable construction, r The standardpmember"Blis cylindrical :and 1sprovided-:ad acent itsup er end with a pin projecting laterally t-erefron1..The
standard member C comprises a tube which is formed with a longitudinally extending slot F opening at'its lower end whereby the member C may be telescoped over the member B with thepin projecting through the slot F. Leading from the slot F is a series of upturnedbayonet slots G which are suitably spaced apart throughout the length of the tube, each of which is adapted to receive andto be engaged by the pin to support the member B- on the member G in various vertically adjusted positions.
The flower-holder D is here shown as oom- I prising a shell having a bottom wall H and annular side walls J erected from the bottom wall, which walls may be foraminous as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, but may be imperforate as shown in Fig. 5.
Mounted in the shell formed by the walls H and J is a horizontally extending foraminate'd Wall K spaced a short distance above the bottom wall H and suitably supported on the upper margin of the shell is a second foraminated wall L spaced a suitable distance above the wall K. The walls K and L may be formed of reticulated material, such as screen wire, as shown in Fig. 4, or may comprise perforated plates, and in like manner the walls of the shell may be formed of reticulatedmaterial such as screen wire or may comprise perforated sheet material.
Loose weighted rings M are provided on the base member A to stabilize the structure.
A handle or bail N is provided on the shell by means of which the device may be readily placed in and removed from a receptacle 0 such as vase, bowl or jar.
In the application of the invention, where the device is formed with a foraminated shell,- as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, it is placed in a water containing receptacle, with the base A seating on the bottom thereof and with the shell arranged immediately below the mouth thereof and at least partly submerged in the water; the standard being adjusted to dispose the shell in the desired spaced relation to the bottom of the receptacle. The receptacle may comprise a vase, bowl or jar but where the receptacle is of such character or size as to render it undesirable to fill it with water, a separate container for the water may be'employed, as shown in Fig. 2.
In the same instances, it may be advantageous to employ the shell as a water container, in which event the walls thereof will be imperforate as shown in Fig. 5. This construction obviates the necessity of placing water in the vase or receptacle in which the flower-holder is disposed.
The spaced foraminated walls K and L affords a convenient means for receiving and engaging the stems of flowers; the stems being inserted through the apertures in the upper wall L and then passed through the shell. 7
apertures in the lower wall, thus eflecting engagement with the stem at two points in such manner as to support the stem and securely retain the flower in place. The walls L and K are preferably foraminated throughout so as'to permit a varied arrangement and grouping of flowers on the holder.
It will be observed that by use of the device, short-stemmed flowers may be properly supported in tall ordeep receptacles and will have the appearance of having long stems.
hile' I have shown and described a specific embodiment of my invention, I do not limit myself to the exact details of construction set forth but may employ such changes and modifications as come within the meaning and scope of the appended claim.
I claim The combination with a receptacle of a shell adapted to be disposed in said receptacle, means for supporting said shell inspaced relation to the bottom of said receptacle adapted to be adjusted to vary the spacing of said shell in relation to the bottom of the receptacle, means carried by said shell for engaging and supporting the stems of flowers, and a variable weight stabilizing means for the supporting means for the MIMA K. FINLAYSON.
