Feb. 22, 1955 N. JONES DECORATIVE PLAQUE Filed May 14, 1952 INJ- Z ffy-fi N INVENTOR. ED ONES Figi United States Patent O DECGRATIVE PLAQUE Ned Jones, New York, N. Y.
Application May 14, 1952, Serial No. 287,763
1 Claim. (Cl. 41-10) This invention relates to decorative plaques.
It is proposed to provide a novel ornamental structure to serve for various purposes in the home as well as public places such as halls for dances, weddings, etc. It is intended that the novel ornament be so constructed as to convey sentimental and inspirational messages. Included in the general purpose of the invention is provision of means for utilizing an ornamental plaque as a holder for ower vases or pots. The structure of the plaque is adaptable for use in decorating hassocks, and pillows.
The principal object of the invention is the provision of novel decorative means employing flowers in real and artiiicial form for plaques, pillows, and hassocks.
It is a further object to provide a novel ornamental support for a ower pot.
It is a further object to provide a novel ornamental support for sentimental messages, objects and dolls.
A further object of the invention is the provision of novel decfrative means for various articles.
For further comprehension of the invention and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of the disclosure:
Fig. l is an elevational view of a plaque embodying one form of the invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken on lines 2 2 of Fig. l.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the shelf portion of the structure shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a view corresponding to Fig. 3 showing one arrangement of the shelf.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on lines 5-5 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 is an elevational view of a modication of the invention.
Figs. 7 and 8 are elevational views of alternate forms of structures embodying the invention.
Fig. 9 is a perspective view of another modification of the invention.
F'Fif. 10 is a sectional View taken on line 10-10 of In Figs. 1 to 4, is shown a plaque P, formed on a basr` plate 11 of cardboard having a shane substantially that of a heart. A cloth sheet 12 is attached to the bottom and side edges of the plate 11 by stitching or staples. A short distance below the top of plate 11 is attached a wood block 15 held by nails 14. The wood block forms a shelf on the base plate 11. A vertically disposed piece of cardboard 16 is nailed to the outside edge of the block and to plate 11 forming the side walls of a box or compartment C with open top, see Fig. 3. The cloth sheet 12 is extended up and around the sides of walls 16 and is fastened thereto. The cavity formed below the block 15 is filled with cotton, excelsior or any inexpensive stuing material 17.
The outside decorative surface of the structure is covered with an ornamental material 18 arranged to simulate owers. This material is formed from colored crepe paper strips. Each strip is about four inches in length and four inches in width rolled upward on each side to form a leaf shape. The simulated leaves are secured to the cloth sheet 12 to completely conceal the sheet 12 and plate 11. The leaves are sprayed at selective portions with silver and gold paint and then with a thin coat of wax. Glue is then sprayed on the outside of the plaque and bits of tinsel, gold or silver dust, or any other desired sparking materials are sprinkled on the glue while still wet. If desired an electric wire and small colored lamps can be decoratively arranged on the plaque. The lamps can be arranged for steady or blinking light in a manner known in the art. A ower pot 19 can be placed on the shelf 15 in the plaque and the plaque can be supported by hooks 20 on a wall or other vertical surface.
To accommodate ower pots of various heights an adjustable shelf 21 is provided. The shelf 21 comprises a cardboard sheet bent at its lower portion to form a base 22 which is stapled or nailed to shelf 15 by fastener 23. A portion of shelf 21 is cut out to form a leg 24. The cardboard sheet is pre-creased at 25 and 26 to facilitate lowering leg 24 to shelf 15 to form a stand on which a ower pot 19' of shorter length but greater width than pot 19 can be supported.
The plaque as thus constituted can be made in a variety of shapes such as the moon 27 or star 28 of Figs. 7 and 8, respectively.
In Fig. 6 a doll 29 is attached to the outside of the plaque P. A ribbon 30 with a message inscribed thereon can also be attached to the plaque P' if desired.
The plaque P' can be used as a decorative pillow in a bedroom or about the home, if desired, in which case a iiower pot may be omitted from the ornamental structure. If desired the doll 29 can be placed inside of but extending from the compartment C.
The ornamental structure can be modified to form a hollow hassock H shown in Figs. 9 and 10. A removable cover 31 having a smooth surface 32 is placed over the opening to the compartment C. In this modification the base plate 11' is in the form of a hollow cylinder having a closed bottom. Fabric sheet 12 covers the base 11 and is in turn covered by the decorative surface 18 formed as described above.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
An ornamental and pot supporting plaque structure comprising a flat base plate having a heart shaped contour, a rectangular block fastened at one edge to said plate adjacent the top thereof and extending perpendicular therefrom to form a fixed seat for supporting a ower pot, vertical walls fixed to the remaining edges of said block to form a hollow compartment having an open top, a sheet of cardboard secured to the opposite edge of the block and arranged parallel to and alongside the adjacent vertical wall, said sheet being formed with a score line whereby said sheet may be bent to form a shelf parallel to the block, said shelf having a cutout portion adapted to form a supporting leg for the shelf when the sheet is bent to shelf forming position.
