US3711048A — Display holder for artificial flowers and the like

Claim 1

Independent Claim 172 words

A display holder for artificial flowers and the like, which comprises a. a pair of grid frames units of generally convex exterior configuration and generally concave interior configuration; b. each of said grid frame units having a display grid of rectangular configuration in its central portion and a generally circular side wall structure; c. a circular frame for supporting the grid frame units in secured-together fashion from a display wall; d. each of said grid frame units including side wall extensions adapted for clamping engagement with the circular supporting frame; e. said circular side wall structures supporting the respective display grids in substantially spaced relation, and f. said side wall extensions extending around not more than onehalf of the periphery of said side wall structures and being of a configuration to accommodate engagement by a pair of identical grid frame units, of a single circular wire frame about its periphery for securing the grid frames together with the concave interiors in facing relation and with openings of their display grids axially aligned.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 172 words

A display holder for artificial flowers and the like, which comprises a. a pair of grid frames units of generally convex exterior configuration and generally concave interior configuration; b. each of said grid frame units having a display grid of rectangular configuration in its central portion and a generally circular side wall structure; c. a circular frame for supporting the grid frame units in secured-together fashion from a display wall; d. each of said grid frame units including side wall extensions adapted for clamping engagement with the circular supporting frame; e. said circular side wall structures supporting the respective display grids in substantially spaced relation, and f. said side wall extensions extending around not more than onehalf of the periphery of said side wall structures and being of a configuration to accommodate engagement by a pair of identical grid frame units, of a single circular wire frame about its periphery for securing the grid frames together with the concave interiors in facing relation and with openings of their display grids axially aligned.

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 52 words

The display holder of claim 1 further characterized by a. said circular frame comprising a frame of wire-like construction having a supporting stem projecting from a portion thereof, b. said grid units engaging said wire-like frame about substantially its entire periphery and providing an opening for the passage of said supporting stem.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 160 words

A display holder for artificial flowers and the like comprising, a. a wire-like support including a base portion for engagement with a display wall, a supporting stem, and a supporting loop at its outer end; b. said loop being arranged to be disposed with its principal plane tilted downward and away from the display wall; c. a pair of hollow grid frame units secured to said loop above and below its principal plane; d. said grid frame units each having a circular side wall and each providing a plurality of tiers of display grids disposed generally parallel to said principal plane and adapted for the reception of straight-stemmed flowers in certain tiers and hanging-type flowers in certain other tiers; e. clamping skirts projecting from each circular side wall and extending in arcs of not more than 90* over two symmetrically disposed regions of said said walls, and f. said clamping skirts being internally grooved for the reception of said loop.

Claim 5

Dependent Claim 160 words

A display holder for artificial flowers and the like comprising, a. a wire-like support including a base portion for engagement with a display wall, a supporting stem, and a supporting loop at its outer end; b. said loop being arranged to be disposed with its principal plane tilted downward and away from the display wall; c. a pair of hollow grid frame units secured to said loop above and below its principal plane; d. said grid frame units each having a circular side wall and each providing a plurality of tiers of display grids disposed generally parallel to said principal plane and adapted for the reception of straight-stemmed flowers in certain tiers and hanging-type flowers in certain other tiers; e. clamping skirts projecting from each circular side wall and extending in arcs of not more than 90* over two symmetrically disposed regions of said said walls, and f. said clamping skirts being internally grooved for the reception of said loop.

Claim 6

Dependent Claim 84 words

The display holder of claim 3, further characterized by a. the grid frame units of an assembled pair being arranged with their respective clamping skirts in closely interlocking relation, whereby said units have a predetermined rotational orientation with respect to each other, and b. said grid frame units having a plurality of grid bars formed in their display tiers and defining grid openings, and c. the grid openings of the respective grid frame units being aligned by the interlocking engagement of said clamping skirts.

Claim 7

Dependent Claim 41 words

The display holder of claim 3 further characterized by a. said grid frame units being assembled in back-to-back orientation, and b. said side walls being outwardly placed to accommodate close nesting of a plurality of grid frame units in froNt-to-back orientation.
