GINIA Application filed October 4,
This invention relates to flower vases of the kind commonly employed in cemeteries, and whichy are provided with a part which may be inserted intol the ground tov hold the vase vin upright position.
The objects of this invention are to provide a vase of this kind, which is made of a single piece of vsheet metal and the lower end of which is so formed that it can be readily inl0 serted into the ground; also to provide a vase of this kind of tapering form and having the portions adjacent to the lower pointed end pressed inwardly to form a plurality of concave faces and to materially reduce the cross sectional area of vthis portion of the vase so that the same can be readily forced into and securely held in the ground; alsoto improve vases of this kind in other respects hereinafter mentioned.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevation of a vase embodying' this invention showing other vases nested therein, and showing the vase nested within another vase which is shown in section;
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a vase embodying this invention;
Fig. 3 is an elevation on an enlarged scale of the lower or indented portion of the'vase; and
Fig. 4 is a cross section on line 4-4Fig. 1.
Vases of this kind have heretofore been made of sheet metal and of tapering form, but in eachinstance some other partis sel cured to the vase, which other part is inserted into the ground to support the vase in an upright position.v This other part, which was commonly in the form of a nail or prong, is easily loosened or broken from its connection with the vase, and when loosened renders the vase inoperative by causing leaks. These vases have the further objection that they cannot be economically shipped, forV the reason that-the nail orvprojection prevents close nesting of the several vases. These objections arel overcome bythe construction ELoWERrvnsEy .Q .y

herein shown, in which the vase itself may be made of sheet metal formed intogtapering shape 1n the usualfmanner as wasY heretofore done, but in which a part of the vase' itself is* formed to be (inserted into the ground.
A' 4represents the usual tapering bodyportion of the vasetheuppe`r end ofwhich-:i's preferably provided with a beady @and the vase may be provided' with the usual seam (not shown), which may be welded, soldered, or otherwise' made water-tight, and the lower end or point B of the vase is also madewater-` tight in any suitable manner.- Vases of Vtrue conit'zalfformv throughout their length cannot be readily inserted into theground, especial-A ly if-the ground lis dry'or hard, andeven if-'a'vaserof thisv kindfis insertedinto the y ground, itis very apt to bedislodged. f
A` In accordance lwith my'invention, -thelower portion of a vaseoflrconical or other tapering shape is provided with a plurality of indentationsC, yeachformed bypressing the metal adjacent'fto the point of the vase/inwardly toward the aXis of the vase, each indentation extending upwardlyfrom thefpointed 'endf of the' vase. In-v the "particular construction shown, three indentationsare provided, each eXtending approximately around one third of the ycircumfe'rence of this part'offthe vase, but Lit will be yob'vi'ousthat any desired'nurn'- ber fof such indentations may be employed. The indentation's have the effect-of very materially vdecreasing the cross sectional areaof the`l indented portion of ther vase, and alsrof forming concaved faces which offer-increased resistancev to'tipping overor" dislodging 'of onffthe-'upp'erportion of'the vase. The re- 'the vase from'the ground byjlateral pressure` duced cross sectional areaof the-indented` portion ofthe vase reduces very materially thepressure neces/sary to force the vase into the 1ground and also' increases the strength of the lower part of the'vase and the resistance ofhtli'esame to bendingor deformation.l ,Y
The indentations in thev lower end of the vase result in the formation of a corresponding number of ribs D in which two thicknesses of metal are in close proximity to each other. These ribs, extending radially in dif- 5 ferent directions from the center or axis of the Vase and upwardly from the pointed end of the vase, form a structural shape at the lower part of the vase, which offers a materially increased resistance to bending or deformation of this part of the vase.
Since the portion of the vase, which is to be inserted into the ground, has concaved faces, a further concaving or indenting of this portion of the vase by forcing the same into the ground is practically impossible, and consequently, the vase is vnot damaged or weakened by the pressure necessary to force the Y bottom of the same into the ground, as would be the case if a truly conical vase were forced vantage that Ythey* can be nested one within another in such a rnanner that a much larger number of these vases can be arranged 1n the space formerlyv required for a smaller num- @le berof vases. This is due mainly to the fact that even the indented portions of ther vases can enter into corresponding Yportions of other vases. Thisr effects a material saving in transportation handling and storage charges.
The vase described has the advantages of being of greater -strength than vases of this kind heretofore made, and of being less expensive to construct, since the entire vase is made'ofra single piece of material. The vase described valso eliminates the weakness of vases of this kind heretoforemade, namely, the connection between the vase proper and the usual nail or other into the ground.-
I claim as my invention: 1. A vase of substantially conical forni havingindentations therein adjacent to the. apex to reduce the cross sectional area of the base portionu of the vase to facilitate-the in,- sertion of the same into the ground- Y 2. A substantially conical vase having the portion ythereof adj acent to the apex provided' with a plurality of concave depressions and outwardly projecting ribs arranged vbetween said depressions, resulting in portions of the walls of the vase being arranged Vin close proximity to each otherrto form a structural shape offering high resistance lagainst deformation. y 3. A vase of substantially conical form and vhaving the base thereof adjacent tothe apex provided with arplurality of indentations spaced apart, and outwardlyextendingribsl between saidindentations, which strengthen thek basey portlon; against deformation, the ininto the ground, in which case indentations Y DWIGHT H.
