. HENRY WHITTEMORE, OF TAPPANTOWN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN WINDOW-GARDENS.
SPECIFICATION. I, HENRY WHITTEMORE, of Tappantown,
in the county of Rockland and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Gardens, of which the following is a specification:
The object of my invention is to obtain a simple and portable garden for the windows of dwellings, so constructed as to be readily transferred from one position to another; and it consists in making a platform of wood, of any suitable size, and surrounding it by an ornamental fence, constructed in sections, which are locked together and secured to it by movable fastenings, the platform being supported upon brackets suspended in such a manner as to bring the surface of the garden iiush with the wall or frame of the window.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a `front elevation of my improved garden. Fig.
2 is an end view, showing the manner of suspending the brackets from the wall. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line a: x of Fig.'1.
A is a platform, made of Wood, preferably ot' a length to correspond to the width of the window. Around the outer edge I place an ornamental fence, which is constructed in sections b c d c. B B are the corner-posts, which] are grooved vertically on their inner side to receive a corresponding projection onthe secgether, and cannot be drawn apart longitudinally or slipped out of place, While to separate them it is only necessary to remove one of the side sections, b, and screw-drop g, when the whole may be drawn apart. E E are brackets of wood, having their inner surface (or th at designed to rest against the wall) grooved vertically the entire length, of sufcient depth to admit of the insertion of two or more screw-rin gs, h h, sufficiently far enough to leave their edges flush with the surface of the bracket. Screwhooks o o are placed in the wall to receive the rings h h and suspend the garden iiushwith the adjacent surface.
This method ofsuspendiu g the garden is simple, and does not leave the wall distigured or broken when it is removed.
- My improved Window-garden is specially designed to receive potsv of iiowers; but I may substitute therefor a pan made of zinc or other suitable material, of about four inches in depth, which may be filled with earth for the reception of plants."
What I claim as my invention is l. A window-garden, consisting ofthe platform A, sectional fence b c d e, corner-posts B, and center-posts G C, and brackets E E, constructed and arranged as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of the corner-posts B,
