Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a decoration and more specifically to at least one ornament assembly that includes a base that substantially encompasses an entire surface area of a bottom wall of a housing and into which base various design elements are irremovably disposed.
  • Said base having a shape that can encompass an interior surface of a housing that is of a non-uniform shape, including, but not limited to a sloped, curved, semi-circular, global and drum-shaped.
  • Decorative ornaments are commonly used in connection with aquariums, terrariums and other housings in addition to being standalone objects.
  • various decorations are regularly placed in aquariums to improve visual aesthetics and to provide fish and/or animals housed in the aquarium with an artificial environment akin to their natural habitat.
  • Such decorations usually include a layer of material such as gravel and/or sand that can be one or more of a variety of colors, live and/or plastic plants, and other decorative objects such as coral, sunken ships, treasure chests, rocks, and/or signage.
  • An aquarium, terrarium, or other housing is a habitat for fish, reptiles, or other creatures. It is a delicately balanced ecosystem created for fish, reptiles or other creatures to thrive. Abrupt changes to such an ecosystem can alter the environment and endanger the lives of the fish, reptiles or other creatures. These enclosures require regular cleaning to ensure the viability of life housed therein and the overall cleanliness thereof.
  • the soiled gravel and/or other decorative elements must be cleaned or replaced, and regardless of whether the decorative elements are cleaned or replaced, the movement and/or removal of gravel and/or decorative elements in order to clean an aquarium requires a significant commitment in both time and energy to move and/or remove the items, clean the items or replace them with a new scheme and ensure the vitality of the aquatic life housed in the aquarium. Should one decide not to remove all decorative items and water from a housing when cleaning, commonly, material arranged on the base of the aquarium will be displaced and mixed with the water in the housing. If not handled properly, in the case of aquariums, the stirring of loose gravel when adding or moving decor, can alter the environment and create a toxic environment by causing high levels of ammonia gas and nitrates to be released into the aquarium water.
  • the present invention is directed to a decorative ornament assembly that substantially obviates one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a decorative ornament assembly that fits within and covers the entire inner surface area of a container, such as a fish tank, all which may have different inner surface widths, lengths, depths and circumferences.
  • Another object of the invention is to simplify the cleaning process of a housing, such as an aquarium, by allowing a user to quickly remove the decorative ornament assembly in one step rather than having to remove decorative elements in an open container, such as gravel, plants, and ornaments, individually.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to simplify the decoration process of a holding container, such as an aquarium, by allowing users to insert a decorative ornament assembly with all of the decorative elements affixed to it rather than having to individually purchase and insert various decorative items, such as plants, gravel, and ornaments, into a holding container.
  • the present invention is directed to an ornament assembly configured to be arranged within a housing that includes at least one sidewall.
  • the ornament assembly comprises a base delimited at an outer periphery and a plurality of decorative elements that are at least one of irremovably disposed on and partially fixed within the base.
  • the base is configured to extend substantially about an interior space of the housing such that the base is contactable with the at least one sidewall of the housing.
  • the base can extend across an entire surface area of a portion of the housing such that the entire portion of the housing is covered by the base.
  • the portion of the housing can be entirely covered by two or more bases.
  • the base can be comprised of at least one of gravel, sand, marbles, stones, plastic, paper, or any other type of suitable base material which are bound together to form a solid structure.
  • the decorative elements can include plants, rocks, sunken ships, treasure chests, statues, signage, castles, and other decorative subject matter that appeals to consumers.
  • the present invention is directed to a system of decorating an open container that includes a base having a depth and delimited at an outer periphery and a plurality of decorative elements that are at least one of irremovably disposed on and partially fixed within the base and a housing that includes at least one sidewall.
  • a width and a depth of the base is less than or equal to a width and a depth of an inner surface area of the housing, and the inner surface area of the housing is entirely covered by the base.
  • the inner surface area of the housing can be entirely covered by two or more bases that are contactable or adjacent to each other to form the decorative ornament assembly.
  • the bases can be adjoined by abutting each other, by a hinge, magnets, or another fastener or apparatus allowing the bases to form the decorative ornament assembly.
  • the base can be made of at least one of gravel, sand, marbles, stones, rocks, plastic, paper, and a similar solidly formed substance, or a facsimiles thereof, or any other type of suitable base material which are bound together to form a solid structure.
  • the decorative elements can be at least one of plants, rocks, sunken ships, treasure chests, statues, signage, castles, and other decorative subject matter that appeals to consumers.

  • FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the housing of FIG. 9 showing an eighth embodiment of a decorative ornament assembly of the present invention arranged therein.
  • the decorative ornament assembly not only allows for an aesthetically pleasing appearance in a housing or on a surface, but also reduces the cost of purchasing several items to create such a decorative element, significantly reduces the time, expertise, imagination, creativity, and know-how required to create the desired decorative look and allows for easy removal from a container or from a surface to clean the container or surface and to clean or replace the decorative element.
  • FIG. 1A is a front perspective view of a first embodiment of a decorative ornament assembly 100 of the present invention.
  • the decorative ornament assembly 100 includes a base 110 that may have varying shapes, widths, depths, and heights depending on its intended use and stylization.
  • the base 110 can be comprised of gravel, sand, marbles, stones, plastic, paper, and/or a similar substance or another material which are bound together using various methods and materials that are well known in the art, such as epoxy or resin bonding, glue, or use of any other adhesive material to form a solid structure and into which design elements 120 are irremovably disposed.
  • the design elements 120 can include, for example, plants, statutes, signage, castles, sunken ships, treasure chests or other decorations are then irremovably disposed on or partially disposed in the base 110 . As such, because the design elements 120 stand freely in conjunction with the base 110 , they do not require repositioning or the aid of another structure to support the design elements 120 creating various environmental themes, such as an ocean, coral reefs, sunken cities, surfing, sailing, lighthouses on a cliff, forest, etc.
  • the decorative elements 120 may be irremovably disposed on or partially in the base 110 by heating the base material, inserting the decorative elements 120 in or on the base material and then cooling the base 110 so the base material hardens and secures the decorative elements 120 therein or thereon.
  • the decorative elements 120 may be inserted into, or attached to, the base 110 material, and then a resin, glue, or other adhesive material may be added to the base 110 so that it hardens into a single decorative ornament assembly.
  • the base 110 of the decorative ornament assembly 100 is configured such that it encompasses the entire surface area of a bottom wall within a housing 130 , such as an aquarium, thereby providing a customized and professionally decorative appearance.
  • the decorative ornament assembly 100 can be selectively removed and replaced with an alternative decorative ornament assembly which is also sized to fit on and cover the entire inner bottom surface area of the housing 130 .
  • the base 110 of the ornament assembly 100 has a predetermined width, depth, and height wherein these dimensions allow it to fit along or within the bottom inner surface area of a housing, such as a glass tank or container of other material.
  • the ornament assembly 100 may be sized to fit inside standard sized aquariums (i.e. 2.5, 5, or 10 gallon tanks) or custom shaped tanks and/or other housings or containers comprised of various materials (e.g., glass, composite, plastic, etc.).
  • FIG. 1B is a front perspective view of a first embodiment of the present invention located in a housing (e.g., a glass container, a glass tank, vase, or a container of another material).
  • a housing e.g., a glass container, a glass tank, vase, or a container of another material.
  • the base 110 of the decorative ornament assembly 100 has a width and depth which conforms to the inner surface dimensions of the bottom of the housing 130 . If this housing 130 is an aquarium, the user can then add water and fish to the container to complete the aquarium setup.
  • the base 110 of the decorative ornament assembly 100 is affixed to the decorative elements 120 , a user can simply remove the decorative ornament assembly 100 from a housing 130 by grabbing either the base 110 or decorative elements 120 . Removal of the entire decorative ornament assembly 100 from the housing in one step greatly simplifies the process of redecorating or cleaning a housing. For example, when the housing 130 is an aquarium, a user could easily clean the housing 130 by removing any contents thereof, such as fish/animals, removing the decorative ornament assembly 100 , and then draining the water contained in the housing 130 . The user would then be able to easily clean the entire decorative ornament assembly 100 and the housing 130 and then re-insert the cleaned decorative ornament assembly 100 into the housing 130 that has been cleaned or insert an alternative decorative ornament assembly into the housing 130 .
  • the base 110 of the decorative ornament assembly 100 can have one or more holes to allow for the insertion of a connecting a device for easier extraction of the decorative ornament assembly 100 from the housing 130 .
  • the hole can include a helical ridge or other fastening ridges, allowing a connecting device to fasten into the base 110 .
  • the hole can have a varying depth or extend through the base 110 . In instances where the decorative ornament assembly 100 is used in an aquarium, a through hole in the base 110 allows water to pass through the base 110 , minimizing resistance when removing the decorative ornament assembly 100 from a housing 130 .
  • the base 110 can be of varying sizes or shapes, including rectangular, square, circular, or any other particular shape in order to fully cover the bottom inner surface of a housing of any shape.
  • FIG. 2A is a front perspective view of a second embodiment of a decorative ornament assembly 200 .
  • the decorative ornament assembly 200 includes a base 210 comprised of gravel and other materials and decorative elements 220 that are fixed to the base 210 and/or each other (e.g., by an adhesive or formed together).
  • the decorative ornament assembly 200 can act as a stand-alone decorative ornament or as a decorative centerpiece, such as those often found in restaurants, homes, bars, hotels, and other similar establishments.
  • a decorative ornament assembly 200 with various decorative elements 220 can be purchased and quickly and easily set into place without the need to purchase individual items or assemble the items to create a stand-alone decorative ornament or decorative centerpiece.
  • the decorative ornament assembly 200 can be easily replaced, if and when needed, with an alternative decorative ornament assembly, for example, to reflect the different seasons of the year, holidays, occasions, sports, travel, or changes in personal taste in decor.
  • FIG. 2B depicts the decorative ornament assembly 200 arranged within a housing 230 .
  • the housing 230 has a square shaped bottom surface area
  • the base 210 of the decorative ornament assembly 200 includes a base 210 that has a width and depth that completely encompasses the inner surface area of the bottom of the housing 230 .
  • the decorative ornament assembly 200 can be arranged in a variety of housings, such as aquariums, terrariums, vases, or any other container. Regardless of the housing in which the decorative ornament assembly 200 is arranged, the user would again gain the benefit of being able to place a complete decorative ornament assembly 200 that includes the base 210 and decorative elements 220 into a housing as opposed to having to purchasing those decorative elements individually and arranging those elements in the housing.
  • FIG. 3 is a front perspective view of a third embodiment of a decorative ornament assembly 300 located within a housing 330 .

As shown, the housing 330 has a rectangular shaped bottom surface area, and the base 310 of the decorative ornament assembly 300 is manufactured to substantially fit within the inner surface area of the housing 330 .
  • the base of a decorative ornament assembly can only be so large.
  • a single decorative ornament assembly is not intended for use in large containers, such as a 50-gallon aquarium that has an inner width of 37 inches and a depth of 19 inches because the weight of the ornament assembly would make it difficult for a user to lift the assembly and/or place the assembly in such a container.
  • a single decorative ornament assembly that includes a base of about one inch in thickness and is made of polypropylene was used in conjunction with such a container, the base of the decorative ornament would have a volume of 703 cubic inches. Polypropylene has a weight of approximately 0.494 ounces per cubic inch.
  • the weight of the base alone excluding additional weight provided by any decorative elements attached to the decorative ornament assembly, would be approximately 347 ounces, or nearly 22 pounds. If the base is made of a denser material, such as marbles or gravel, the weight would dramatically increase. Both the cumbersome size and weight of such a large decorative ornament assembly and corresponding base would obviate the benefits of the disclosed invention.
  • a first decorative ornament assembly 400 and a second decorative ornament assembly 402 are arranged adjacent to each other in a housing 430 .

  • the second decorative ornament assembly 402 which is placed adjacent the first ornament assembly 400 , includes a base 412 that has a width less than the width of the inner surface area of the housing 430 so as to also fit within the housing 430 .
  • the width and length of bases 410 and 412 conforms to the inner surface dimensions of the bottom of the housing 430 and are manufactured in a manner that, when placed contiguously, the bases 410 and 412 fully cover the inner bottom surface of the housing 430 .
  • Use of multiple decorative ornament assembly's to fully cover the inner surface area of the housing 430 will keep the weight of each decorative ornament assembly at a minimum.
  • the pieces can be fastened to each other by any known means including the use of adhesives, locking mechanisms, magnets, etc. or combined by a hinge system (e.g., living hinge, mechanical hinge system).
  • a hinge system e.g., living hinge, mechanical hinge system
  • the decorations including, but not limited to, ornaments and plants, can be releasably connected to the base so that the base and decorations can be shipped and/or packaged separately and various decorations can be replaced/interchanged to vary the decor as desired. This could possibly aid in packaging of the decorations in a further attempt to avoid damage to the decorations and reduce shipping fees.
  • the base can include openings that can receive a connector from a plant (e.g., male-female connecting system), the base can include projections that extend into a receptor attached to the end of a plant, the base can include magnets that interact with decorations having magnets of an opposite polarity, dowels or the like can be used to connect decorations and the base or any other connection method that is known or may become known can be used to releasably attach decorations to the base.
