  • Patent number: 5003725
    Abstract: A holder for a stuffed toy animal may be used with a floral arrangement. The floral arrangement includes a vase with an outer surface and a peripheral lip and flowers which are disposed in the vase. The holder includes a back frame, a base platform and two grasping arms. The back frame has a top member, a bottom member and two side members. The base platform is pivotally coupled to the bottom member of the back frame so that it can be folded against the back frame. The stuffed toy animal is placed on the base platform in an upright position relative thereto. One end of each grasping arm is pivotally coupled to one of the two side members of the back frame so that the two grasping arms may either be folded so that they are adjacent to the back frame or be swung out in order to operate together holding the stuffed toy animal in its upright position. The back frame has a pair of ribbon slits which are disposed on the side members thereof and a vase hook which is mechanically coupled to the top member thereof.
