FRANK V. BOSS, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.
MOUNTING FOR FLORAL DECORATIONS.
Application filed. September 21, 1922.
T all to 720m it may concern I Be it known that I, FRANK V. Ross, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and
. State of Indiana, have invented a certain practice, to construct wreaths and floral decorations, by bending a heavy piece of wire into the desired shape and then bind ing the individual branches or flowers on the wire by winding a lighter wire thereabout. Such construction is necessarily slow and time consuming, and not only gives a bad appearance to the decoration. but unless very accurately and well made, permits the material to come loose.
It is the object of this invention to provide a securing base for the decoration that will give it a more uniform and perfect appearance and which will permit it to be quickly constructed in such fashion as to firmly and rigidly hold each of the branches or flowers in position. This construction further provides a means for securing the material which may be operated by machines rather than by hand, as has been done heretofore so that the same may be constructed more perfectly and in large quantities with an appreciable saving of time.
The full nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claims.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a plan View of the circular body member or ring showing one-half thereof in blank, a quarter thereof in clamping position, and another quarter with the branches of the wreaths clamped thereon. Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a partial plan view of a modified form of the invention. Fig. 5 is a section taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. l. Fig. 6 is a modified Serial No. 589,516.
form showing another type of floral decoration. a
In the drawings there is shown a body member or ring 10 for building up the usual type of circular wreath from a plurality of cedar branches or imitations thereof. The ring 10, as shown in Fig. 3, is stamped out of sheet metal so that it is in the form of an endless circle. A bead or rib 11 is stamped in the ring so as to extend about the center thereof. This is for the purpose of strengthening said ring for tending to prevent to some degree any twisting thereof or bending out of shape. On each side of the sheet metal ring 10 in staggered relation to each other, there are aplurality of radially projecting ears 12 and 13. Said ears are stamped out when the ring is formed so as to be integral therewith. The ears 12 extend radially outward therefrom and the ears 13 extend radially inward. Although the ears 12 and 13 are in staggered relation, they are so positioned that one edge of each.
of said ears is substantially in line with the other so that when bent across the ring, they will lie adjacent each other, as shown in the lower left hand portion of Fig. 1.
After the ring has been stamped out in the form shown in the right hand portion of.
Fig. 1, the branches 14: of cedar or other material used in the wreath are positioned so that the ends to be secured to the ring are positioned adjacent thereto between a pair of ears 12 and 13. Upon the branches 14 being positioned thereon in suitable bunches, the ears 12 and 13 are bent up and over the stems of the branches and lamped thereon so as to embrace the same as shown in Fig. 2. For this purpose any suitable means may be employed, but where the wreath is not formed by a machine, a small bench press may be used to bend the ears over and clamp them down so that the operator may employ both hands to arrange the branches and hold them in position.
In the form shown in Fig. 4, there is provided a ring 110 without the ears shown in Fig. 1, the same being stamped out of sheet metal or formed in any suitable manner. The metal clamping rings 112 are provided which may be bent about the ring 10, as shown in Fig. 5, after which the bunch of branches 14 may have their stems inserted therein. The clamping rings 112 are then stamped down so as to rigidly secure and clamp the stems of the branches to the ring.
In the form shown in Fig. 6, the general design of the particular decoration is stamped or cut out of sheet metal so as to provide a body portion 210. A plurality of small ears 212 are then stamped at inter- Vals throughout the body portion in position to be clamped about the foliage, flowers or other material let in substantiallyv the same manner as above described.
The invention claimed is:
1. A floral decoration comprising a metal terial for rigidly clamping and securing it thereon.
3. A Wreath comprising an annular metal ring, decorative material. to be secured thereto, and a plurality of individual clamping members formed on each side of said ring in position to be bent thereover for engaging and clamping said material thereon.
4. A wreath comprising an annular metal ring, decorative material to be secured thereto, and a plurality of radially extending ears formed integral with said ring and tion to be bent over for engaging and clamp ing said material thereon.
5. A wreath comprising an annular metal 7 ring, decorative material to be secured thereto, and a plurality of radially extending ears formed integral thereon in staggered relation to each other and on each side thereof in position to be bent over so that they lie adjacent each other for engaging and clamping said material thereon. f V V i 6. A floral decoration comprising a metal body portion, decorative material tobe secured thereto, a rib formed in the surface of said body portion and extending about the same for strengthening it and tending to prevent a twisting movement thereof, and a plurality of ears formed integral therewith adapted to. be bent over for engaging and clamping said material thereon.
7. A wreath comprising an annular metal ring, decorative material to be secured thereto, a rib formed in the surface of said ring and extending about the samevfor strengthening it and tending to prevent a twisting movement thereof, and a plurality of radi allyextending ears formed integral thereon in staggered relation to each other and on each side thereof in position to be bent over so that they lie adjacent each other for em gaging and clamping said material thereon.
In 'witness whereof, I have hereunto" aflixed my signature. I
