UNlTED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JACOB H. GMELIN, OF SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOB OF ONE-HALF TO JOHN A. NAISMITH, OF SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA.
r ownn nonnna.
Application filed September To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I JACOB H. GMELIN, a citizen of the United tates, and resident of San Jose, in the county of Santa Clara and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flower Holders, of which the following is a specification.
- volved thereabout.
It is the object of my invention to provide a device for supporting cut flowers and foliage in any desired position.
It is a further object of my invention to provide a device of the character indicated rovided with movable elements capable of ibnctionin as legs or hangers as desired.
It is a still further object of my invention to provide a device of the character indicated whereby the same ma be readily filled -with moss or other desirab e substance.
Finally, it is a still further object of my invention to provide a device of the character indicated that will be simple in form, economical to manufacture and highly efficient in its practical application.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a plan view of m invention with arts extended for suspen ing the device om the edge of a bowl.
Figure 2 is a plan view showing parts folded under the body portion to form legs.
Figure 3 is a section on 33 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a section on 4-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a side elevation of another embodiment of my invention, part broken away.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, 11 indicate two circular pieces of wire screen of equal size and slightly 'concavoconvex in general form. These twopieces 11 are spaced and held in fixed relation to each other, with the concave faces in opposed relation to each other, by means of a narrow strip of screen 2 soldered edges of pieces 11 as at 3.
At 5-5-5 I show wires pivotally mounted on one edge of the structure, this edge bein hereinafter referred to as the lower edge; Each of these wires 5 has its ends turned around the wire forming the lower edge-of;
the device as at 6-80 as to be readily rethemselves as at 8 and converge to form a terminal loop 9 again bent at an 'angle with to the The pivoted ends ex-- tend in substantially the same direction. away from their pivotal points as at 7, then are bent at substantially right angles upon 19, 1922. Serial N0. 589,263.
relation to their last mentioned portions 8 so that each wire when extended as shown in detail in Figure 4. forms a hook by means of which the device may be supported on the edge of a bowl as shown.
When the hooks formed as described by wires 5 5-5 are swung downwardly about their plvotal points until their tips engage the bottom screen 1, they form legs for supporting the device from below as shown in Fi re 3.
t may now be readily seen that a device of the character described may be quickly adapted for use in a dish or bowl, and as quickly adapted to be supported from the upper edge of a bowl or dish if such an a rangement is desired.
By curving the screen top and b( .toi. away from each other the device is ren ere 1 strong and durable. By soldering a strip of wire mesh around the edges of pieces 1 1 they are rigidly held in position, the desired spacing 18 secured, and the whole device is kept open and light and its manufacture rendered simple and economical.
When the device is in position flower and ornamental foliage stems may be inserted through the meshes of the two spaced screens until 'ust the arrangement desired is secured. T e device may then be lifted out of the bowl by handle 10, the water changed and the device replaced without at all disturbing the arrangement of the flowers. The spaced meshes permit support of all stems at two points and permit prac tically an unlimited variety of arrangements of flowers and foliage. 5
The handle 10 is formed of wire bent aroundone of the wires of the upper screen asat 11-'so.jthat in lifting the device the under side of the handlelO bears against the upper edge of the device.
' In'Figure-fi 'anembodiment of the invention -is shownwherein the top screen is atg 'tached totheside portion by a wire 12 'wh' chfforms a hinge therefor, another wire 13 extendingfrom the opposite side of the upperfscreemand engageable with the side portio'n of the device to fasten the top screen mposition; ,Inthis form the device may be filled with-moss thereby forming a loose mat through 'which the flower stems may pass and forming afsupoprt for said stems, and also forming a'moistbed into which short stems may be It is to be understood, of course, that while I have herein shown and describedthe preferred embodiments of my inventlon, changes in form, proportion, method of con- 5 struction and arrangement of the parts may be made within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim 1. A device of the character indicated 10 comprising, upper and lower foraminous elements spaced apart at their centers, and supporting means therefor.
2. A device of the character indicated necaese comprising, upper and lower foraminous elements, spacing means inserted between the edges thereof, and supporting means therefor.
3. A device of the character indicated comprising, a pair of concavo-convex foraminous e ements arranged with their concave surfaces in opposed relation to each other, spacing means arranged between the gdges thereof; and supporting means there- JACOB H. GMELIN.
