Abstract

Abstract A bouquet display apparatus includes an adjustable clamp assembly which includes a medial strut portion. A pair of clamp portions extend transversely from the medial strut portion in a first direction. An adjustable jaw member is connected to one of the clamp portions. The clamp portions are spaced apart from each other on the medial strut portion such that the clamp portions are adapted to clamp onto an edge of a table top therebetween. A bracket assembly is attached to the medial strut portion and extends from the medial strut portion in a second direction. A skirt holder assembly is attached to the medial strut portion and extends from the medial strut portion in the second direction. The bracket assembly includes a bracket holder portion attached to the medial strut portion of the adjustable clamp assembly. A flower holder assembly is adapted for removable and replaceable connection to the bracket holder portion. The flower holder assembly may include a flower holder portion adapted for holding a linear array of flowers or may include a flower holder portion adapted for holding a circular arrangement of flowers. The adjustable jaw member includes a threaded shaft which is connected to a complementarily threaded channel in a clamp portion. The skirt holder assembly is connected to a medial strut portion adjacent to a second clamp portion. The first and second clamp portions are separated from each other by the medial strut portion.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 271 words
A bouquet display apparatus, comprising: an adjustable clamp assembly which includes a medial strut portion, a pair of clamp portions extending transversely from said medial strut portion in a first direction, and an adjustable jaw member connected to one of said clamp portions, wherein said pair of clamp portions includes a first clamp portion extending transversely from a top portion of said medial strut portion in a first direction and includes a second clamp portion extending transversely from a bottom portion of said medial strut portion in the first direction, wherein said clamp portions are spaced apart from each other on said medial strut portion such that said clamp portions are adapted to clamp onto an edge of a table top therebetween, wherein said adjustable law member includes a shaft connected to a complementarily engaging channel in said second clamp portion, a bracket assembly attached to said medial strut portion, extending from said medial strut portion in a second direction, wherein said second direction is opposite to said first direction, wherein said bracket assembly is attached to said medial strut portion adjacent to said first clamp portion, wherein said bracket assembly includes a bracket holder portion attached to said medial strut portion of said adjustable clamp assembly and includes a flower holder assembly adapted for removable and replaceable connection to said bracket holder portion, and a skirt holder assembly attached to said medial strut portion, said skirt holder assembly including a hook portion extending from said medial strut portion in said second direction, wherein said skirt holder assembly is attached to said medial strut portion adjacent to said second clamp portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 271 words
A bouquet display apparatus, comprising: an adjustable clamp assembly which includes a medial strut portion, a pair of clamp portions extending transversely from said medial strut portion in a first direction, and an adjustable jaw member connected to one of said clamp portions, wherein said pair of clamp portions includes a first clamp portion extending transversely from a top portion of said medial strut portion in a first direction and includes a second clamp portion extending transversely from a bottom portion of said medial strut portion in the first direction, wherein said clamp portions are spaced apart from each other on said medial strut portion such that said clamp portions are adapted to clamp onto an edge of a table top therebetween, wherein said adjustable law member includes a shaft connected to a complementarily engaging channel in said second clamp portion, a bracket assembly attached to said medial strut portion, extending from said medial strut portion in a second direction, wherein said second direction is opposite to said first direction, wherein said bracket assembly is attached to said medial strut portion adjacent to said first clamp portion, wherein said bracket assembly includes a bracket holder portion attached to said medial strut portion of said adjustable clamp assembly and includes a flower holder assembly adapted for removable and replaceable connection to said bracket holder portion, and a skirt holder assembly attached to said medial strut portion, said skirt holder assembly including a hook portion extending from said medial strut portion in said second direction, wherein said skirt holder assembly is attached to said medial strut portion adjacent to said second clamp portion.
