FLOWER HOLDER AND ARRANGEB Howard L. Blerwert, Maplewood, J. Application April 26, 1944, Serial No. 532,835
3 Claims.
The invention relates to a flower holder and arranger, and'it consists in the constructions, arrangements and combinations herein described and claimed. 7
It is the cardinal object of the invention to provide a holding and arranging device for cut flowers which may be employed by use at either top of a vase or positioned upon the base of a bowl, this being attained by the provision adjustable supportingarms.
More specifically, itis'an object of the invention to provide a holder of such construction as to provide for reception and support of the stems of flowers, and including a plurality of support arms adjustable on a vertical axis so as to be readily adjusted to vases of varying diameter for support of the device from the top edge of'a ,vase,-or movable radially to a position so as to permit the holder to be positioned upon the base of a bowl. 1
Additionalobjects, advantages and features of invention will be apparent from the following de scription considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in use upon the rim of a vase.
Figure 2 is an enlarged side elevation of the holder.
- Figure 3 is a top plan view thereof.
Figure 4 is a cross section on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
.There is illustrated a holder ll) of mesh confor reception of respective support members IS.
The support members l5 are of identical construction and consist of rod members of a length slightly greater than the distance between the frame members Hand l2, one being engaged through respective aligned eyelets Hi. The rod members extend beyond the eyelets I4 of the frame l2 and are bent at right angles as at "5,
for retention within the eyelets. At the upper ends,'-the rods iii are similarly bent as at H, closely abovethe frame ll, thence bent at' right angles as at I8, to lie in a plane parallel to themain portion of the rod. The rod is then bent as at I! to extend in a horizontal plane and then finally bent downwardly as at 20, thus forming a bight portion 2| of a substantial width for a purpose as i will appear.
The diameter of the eyelets is such as to permit free rotary movement of the support rods and the distance between the portions l6 and I1 is such as to prevent excessive longitudinal movements of the holder III along the support members; and by arranging the bight 2| at a level above the frame H, the holder will be disposed a substantial distance below the upper edge of a vase when mounted thereon, and thus will be out of sight and not liable to detract from the beauty of the flowers supported therein.
It will be noted that each of the support rods l5 may be rotated in a full circular path, thus permitting the portions [9 to be swung inwardv ly over the holder which will be desired when packaging and shipping the holders; or adjusted to' varying radial positions with respect to the holder for a purpose to be explained.
The frames H and [2 are provided with a mesh fabric 22, the free end 23 of which may be employed for securing the fabric upon the frames by twisting the ends therearound, or otherwise.
The holder is susceptible to use upon vases or containers of varying circumferences by merely adjusting the support members circumferentially so as to swing the members toward or away from the top frame II as indicated in Figure 3. With the device in use, the edge of the vase will be received in the bight portions 2| with the holder disposed inwardly of the vase. The flowers may be neatly arranged in the vase by'merely extending the stems through interstices of the mesh fabric. Where it is desired to support short stemmed flowers, the holder may be placed directly upon the base of a bowl or the like,.in which case the support members may be swung to positions so as to not interfere with proper p i of th flowers. In either case, the flowers may be arranged with the assurance'that, they will remain in position in orderly'fashion.
While I have shown and specifically described the invention, this is by way of illustration only, and I consider as my own all such modifications in construction as fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. In a flower. members, each frame member being provided with circumferentially spaced eyelets, the eyelets of one frame being in vertical alignment with the eyelets of the-other frame, a mesh fabricdissupport, upper and lower frame 2" 4 accuses posed over each frame adapted to receive stems of flowers tberethrough, a mesh fabricconnected between said frames and extending circumferentially therearound, and support members rotatably mounted in each of said aligned eyelets, said Support members being movable in a full circular path, each of the support'members having a lateral extension above the upper frame constructed and adapted to rest upon the upperedge of a vase or the like.
2. In a flower support, upper and lower frame members, each frame member being provided with circumferentially spaced eyelets, the eyelets of one frame being in vertical alignment with the eyelets of the other frame, a mesh fabric disposed over each frame adapted to receive stems of flowers tberethrough, a mesh fabric connected between said frames and extending circumferentially therearound, support members rotatably mounted in each of said aligned eyelets, said support members being movable in a full circular path, said support members being of pliable material and'bent laterally closely over the upper frame, thence bent vertically and laterally to lie in the same plane as theiirst bend, and finallybent downwardly to define a bight portion adapted to receive the upper edgeof a vase or the like.
3. In a flower support, upper and lower frame members, means for supporting the frame members in vertical spaced relation, each frame memport members having a lateral extension above the upper frame constructed and adapted to rest 20 upon the upper edge of a vase or the like.
