664,887. Flower holders. DUDLEY, G. A. June 22, 1950 [Sept. 30, 1949], No. 25239/49. Class 43. A flower holder having means for securing it to a garment comprises a reservoir 12 from which a narrow neck 13 extends, the rear part of a flange 14 at the top of the neck being extended upwardly and the front part forwardly so that the flowers are supported in an upward and forward position. The holder shown in Fig. 1 comprises two transparent plastic mouldings which are secured together by adhesive and may be tinted, one comprising the neck 13 and the front of a heart-shaped reservoir 12, the other comprising the rear of the reservoir ; a pin 19 is attached by heating two projections at the rear of the neck 13 and squeezing them over the upper part of the pin. In a modification a glass holder is formed with a spherical or an inverted-pearshaped reservoir, one end of a wire pin being wound round the neck. Alternatively the holder may be made of rubber or other waterproof material. -In a further modification, Fig. 9, the short neck 29 of a glass reservoir 28 has fitted over it the neck of a flexible top part 27, the flange of which is pushed through a lapel buttonhole from the rear. The part 27 is preferably made of rubber, but may be of a transparent flexible material e.g. polyvinyl chloride or polyethylene. According to the Provisional Specification the holder may be attached by a clip.
