FLOWER HOLDER.
' APPUCATION HLED JUNE 9, 1920.
Emma 29 W23.
I NVENTOR ATTORNEY warren stares Parent series.
FRANK KERN, OF NEW' YORK, N. Y.
FLOWER-HOLDER.
Application filed June 9, 1920.
T (all homit may concern Be it known that I, FRANK harm, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in F lower-Holders, ofwhich the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to improvements in flower-holders, and has for its main object to provide a simple and inexpensive device for attaching a bunch of flowers to a coat lapel or other part of a garment, the construction being such that the flowers are kept in fresh condition for a considerable time, no injury resulting to the same by the engagement with the holding means.
Another object of the invention is to produce a device of the character mentioned, which is capable of manufacture on a commercial scale, or in other words one which is not so difficult to make as to be beyond the reasonable cost of such a contrivance.
With these and other objects in view, which will more fully appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the combination, arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter described, pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that many changes may be made in the size and proportion of the several parts and details of construction within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
A few of the many possible embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a flowerholder constructed in accordance with the present invention; Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a top elevation of a modified construction; Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a further modification of the invention; and Fig. 5 is a similar elevation of the device shown in Fig. 1, the elements being shown in the positions they occupy when applied to the lapel of a coat.
Referring IlOlW first to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the numeral 10 indicates a flower engaging member, in the form of a thimble, that is open at both of its ends, so that the flower stems may be extended therethrough.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented liliar. 29, 15921.
Serial No. 387,734.
This thimble is shaped substantially like an inverted frustum of a cone and is carried by a mechanism, by which it maybe attached to a garment. T iis mechanism comprises, in the case illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, a safety pin 11, which may be of any suitable construction. The pin shown comprises two arms 12 and 13, connected by a spring coil 14. The arm 12 carries at its lower end a sheath 15, into which hooks the pointed end of the arm 13. The connection between the thimble 10 and the safety pin may be made in any suitable manner, for instance the said thimble may be provided with a longitudinally disposed tubular extension 16, that is drawn over the arm 12 of the safety pin. tubular extension, the thimble is longitudinally split, as shown at 17.
The thimble is made, preferably, of metal, either resilient to adapt itself to the size of the bunch of stems extending through the thimble, or it may be pliable to permit the thimble tobe shaped after the flower stems have been extended therethrough, that is to say to permit the same to be bent into gripping position.
In using the device, the arm 13 of the safety pin is extended through the garment and then hooked into the sheath 15. A bunch of flowers may then be inserted through the thimble 1 1, to be held securely in place by frictional contact therewith.
The modification shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings differs from the one above described in that the safety pin 11 extends at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the thimble 10. In this instance, the extension on the thimble is flattened, as shown at 16', the arm 12 of the pin extending through a hole 18 in said extension. Otherwise the operation and construction of the elements are the same as of those described in connection with Figs. 1. and 2 of the drawings.
The modification illustrated in Figs. 4: and 5 of the drawings differs from those above described in the construction of the mechanism for attaching the thimble 10 to the garment. The attaching mechanism comprises in this instance a disk-shaped sheet metal member 19, that is loosely fastened to the thimble 10, for instance by a wire piece 20. This disk-shaped member is bent diametrically back upon itself, as shown in Fig. 4- of the drawings, to permit the same to be extended through a button hole 21 in the gar Opposite this.
ment 22. After extending the bent disk through the button hole, it is flattened out, as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings, so that it abuts against the back face of the garment, thereby safely holding the thimble 10, with the flowers thereon, in position.
What I claim is 1. A flower-holder, comprising a longitudinally split thimble in the form of an inverted frustum of a cone, said thimble being open at both of its ends and made ofone integral piece adapted to grip the flower stems extending therethrough, and means carrying said thimble for attaching the same to a garment.
2. A flower-holder, comprising a longitudinally split thimble in the form of an inverted frustum of a cone, said thimble being provided with a longitudinally extending tubular extension, and a safety pin having one of its arms seated in said extension for attaching said thimble to a garment.
3. A flower-holder comprising a longitudinally split thimble in the form of an inverted frustum of a cone, said thimble being open at both of its ends and made of one integral piece adapted to grip the flower stems extending therethrough, and means extending through said thimble for attaching thesame to a garment.
Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York this 14th day of May, A. D; 1920.
FRANK KERN.
