Universal bracket apparatus for supporting a plurality of flowerpots

Claim 2

A bracket arrangement adapted to support a plurality of flowerpots or similar articles, comprising: a first integral, flexible, planar bracket member having a relatively horizontal central portion located between two arcuate end portions, each end portion terminating in a opened circular loop and directed towards said central portion with a transverse extending arm, each directed at an angle of 45° with respect to said central portion, wherein said circular loops are within the same plane as said horizontal central portion as extending therefrom, said central portion including a V shaped projection extending in the same direction as said transverse arms and at least two apertures located on said central portion, one on either side of said projection to enable the coupling of a corresponding identical bracket of a mirror image configuration to said first bracket by means coacting with said apertures to form a composite bracket having a central aperture formed by said corresponding projection, to enable the coupling of said composite bracket to a pole assembly.

Claim 3

The bracket arrangement according to claim 1, further including means coupled to said composite bracket assembly for suspending said bracket from a ceiling.

Claim 4

A bracket apparatus for supporting a plurality of flowerpots or similar articles, comprising: an integral flexible planar member having a relatively horizontal central portion, said horizontal portion having a left and a right side, a right and a left transversely extending arm, each directed from said right and left sides of said central portion at the same given angle of 45° with respect to said central portion, each of said extending arms terminating in an open circular loop arcuate end portion, said arcuate end portion dimensioned to encircle a portion of the periphery of a flowerpot to retain said flowerpot therein, and means associated with said bracket to retain the same in a supporting position, said central portion including a relatively central extending projection of a V shape and adapted to form a central pole accommodating aperture when a corresponding mirror image congruent bracket is coupled to said bracket as said central portion.

Claim 5

A bracket apparatus for supporting a plurality of flowerpots or similar articles, comprising: an integral flexible planar member having a relatively horizontal central portion, said horizontal portion having a left and a right side, a right and a left transversely extending arm, each directed from said right and left sides of said central portion at the same given angle of 45° with respect to said central portion, each of said extending arms terminating in an open circular loop arcuate end portion, said arcuate end portion dimensioned to encircle a portion of the periphery of a flowerpot to retain said flowerpot therein, and means associated with said bracket to retain the same in a supporting position, said central portion including a relatively central extending projection of a V shape and adapted to form a central pole accommodating aperture when a corresponding mirror image congruent bracket is coupled to said bracket as said central portion.

Claim 6

The bracket according to claim 3 wherein said central portion includes at least one aperture thereon adapted to accommodate a fastening means.

Claim 7

The bracket according to claim 3 wherein said extending arm include at least one aperture adapted to accommodate a fastening means.

Claim 8

The bracket according to claim 3 wherein each of said arcuate end portions includes at least one aperture adapted to accommodate a fastening means.

Claim 9

The bracket according to claim 3, wherein said open circular loops arcuate end portions are located in the same plane as said horizontal central portion with said open portion of said circular loops arcuate end portions closest to said central portion.

Claim 10

The bracket according to claim 3 wherein said integral flexible member is fabricated from steel.

Claim 11

A bracket to support a plurality of flowerpots or similar articles, comprising: an integral flexible planar member having a horizontal central portion, a first transverse arm directed from a first end of said central portion at a given angle of 45° to cause said arm to extend away and project beyond said central portion, said arm terminating in an arcuate inwardly formed first open loop positioned between said central portion and said first extending arm, and a second transverse arm directed from a second end of said central portion at the same angle of 45° as said first arm to cause said second arm to extend away and project beyond said central portion, said second arm terminating in a corresponding arcuate inwardly formed open loop positioned in the same plane as said first loop and between said central portion and said second extending arm, each of said loops adapted to accommodate a flowerpot by incircling the periphery thereof, and means associated with said bracket for securing said bracket to a supporting structure, said means including a V shaped projection located on said central portion, with the angle of said V at relatively ninety degrees and adapted to form a central pole accommodating aperture when a corresponding congruent bracket is coupled to said bracket at said central portion.

Claim 12

A bracket to support a plurality of flowerpots or similar articles, comprising: an integral flexible planar member having a horizontal central portion, a first transverse arm directed from a first end of said central portion at a given angle of 45° to cause said arm to extend away and project beyond said central portion, said arm terminating in an arcuate inwardly formed first open loop positioned between said central portion and said first extending arm, and a second transverse arm directed from a second end of said central portion at the same angle of 45° as said first arm to cause said second arm to extend away and project beyond said central portion, said second arm terminating in a corresponding arcuate inwardly formed open loop positioned in the same plane as said first loop and between said central portion and said second extending arm, each of said loops adapted to accommodate a flowerpot by incircling the periphery thereof, and means associated with said bracket for securing said bracket to a supporting structure, said means including a V shaped projection located on said central portion, with the angle of said V at relatively ninety degrees and adapted to form a central pole accommodating aperture when a corresponding congruent bracket is coupled to said bracket at said central portion.
