FLOWER-BOX AND JARDINI ERE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 4:, 1906.
Application filed December 17, 1904. Serial No, 237.2%.
To all whont it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES WHARTON, J r., of the city of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Flower-Boxes and J ardinieres, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in Which Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating my improved flower-box. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical crosssection, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view, of the lattice which enters into the construction of my improved flower-box.
Like symbols of reference indicate like parts, wherever they occur.
My invention relates to flower-boxes or jardinieres adapted to contain flowers or plants and to be placed on Window-ledges, porches, stands, tables, or other suitable supports; and it has for its objects the production of a box not liable to be injured by moisture, simple in size, yet portable, and at the same time ornamental in appearance.
In the manufacture of my improved flowerbox I employ a lattice or web fabric which may be of light expanded metal a, (shown in Fig. 4,) pieces being cut to form the sides, ends, and bottom. These pieces may be so arranged together or riveted in a frame of angle-pieces as to follow the contour of the box to be formed and there embedded or surrounded by concrete or other suitable plastic material I), which forms the sides and bottom of the box. Within this concrete tesserae of lass, tile, or other suitable material may be bedded, in any desired pattern, forming the mosaic t. The frame may be formed of angle metal or of any suitable material fastened together by bolts or rivets e, which extend into the body of the concrete. I have shown this frame as composed of the cornerpieces f and top pieces 0 and d and bottom pieces 0.
A drain opening or openings 9 and gutters is leading thereto may be placed in the bottom of the box, adapted to allow the escape of water. The box, if desired, may be mounted on feet or supports h.
The advantages of my improved flower-box and jardiniere will be appreciated by those skilled in the art. The box is not liable to warp and rot, as is the case with Wooden boxes, nor to rust, as is the case With those formed of metal. It may be made of any size and shape. It is durable, portable, and ornamental.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A flower-box or jardiniere composed of a strengthening-frame composed of top, bottom, and corner angle-pieces, and aweb fabric secured to said frame and embedded in plastic material.
2. A flower-box or jardiniere composed of a strengthening-frame composed of top, bottom, and corner angle-pieces, aWeb fabric secured to said frame and embedded in plastic material, and tesserae embedded in the plastic material.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
