Abstract: A decorative device for camouflaging a well casing which projects above the ground comprises a base place adapted to be secured on the upper end of the casing, a clamping assembly on top of the base plate, and a plurality of rod members secured in and projecting from the clamping assembly, the outer end of each of these rod members being configured to support a flower pot.

Abstract: A method for assembling a floral arrangement is shown. An individual may choose from a number of bases, each resulting in a different floral arrangement design. Each base has a predetermined pattern of holes for insertion of flower stems which the individual chooses to produce a design having the desired details. Each hole is coded to be matched with a flower of a corresponding code. A group of flowers identified by the same code will have the same approximate size and shape, but may vary in color, material or type of flower to allow the individual to choose the arrangement details of the basic design.

Abstract: A coordinated floral arrangement assembly system comprises a plurality of artificial flowers, each of the artificial flowers includes an elongated stem member that has two end portions. A plurality of petals are positioned adjacent to one of the stem member end portions, and a plurality of leaves are positioned on the stem member intermediate of its end portions. In addition, a positional indicator is positioned adjacent to a second of the stem member end portions, the positional indicator has an indicium thereon. The system also comprises a base member, the base member, which is adapted to receive the flowers, has at least one generally horizontal surface.

Abstract: A commemorative card is formed from water impervious or water resistant material and is provided with means for mounting at least one fresh or artificial flower thereon. Where the card is to carry a fresh flower or flowers, means for supplying moisture to the flower or flowers, such as a water-retentive hard foamed plastics material, may be provided to keep the flower or flowers fresh. The water retentive material may be mounted in a pocket or recess formed at the rear of the card, the flower stem or stems passing through an aperture in the card. A region is provided on the face of the card which is receptive to ink so that a message or signature may be written on the card, while the card as a whole is resistant to moisture.

Abstract: Base for the insertion of flowers, twigs, fruits and similar items, consisting of a mass of plastic foam, which base is reliably connected (attached) to a support of plastic, rubber, wood, metal or any other suitable material, said support being a trough-shaped tube into which has been inserted a base of plastic foam, which base will fit more or less neatly into the interior of the tube, and by an act of shrinking-on has become attached a plastic foil which encases all of the base (base plus support), and said foil preferably being provided with holes all over its surface.

Abstract: An artificial aquarium plant having a base member with a plurality of nestingly interfitting plant members supported by the base member. A coupling arrangement is provided for interconnecting the plant members with the base member. The plant members each include a body portion with branches upwardly extending from the body portion. Aligning members are included on the body portions for interfitting the body portions in an aligned orientation.

Abstract: A decorative holder for an implement such as a pen, pencil, or thermometer comprising an interwoven base portion including a series of substantially concentric tiers of loops and supporting means for supporting the implement. The holder is made by a method which substantially conceals the intersections of the strand of pliant material from which the base portion is formed to provide a holder having a neat and decorative appearance.

Abstract: Synthetic seaweed for use in inhibiting coastal erosion comprises an elongate anchor with at least one sheet of flexible non-woven material adjacent thereto. A first edge portion of the sheet is secured to the anchor along at least a portion thereof so that the sheet extends outwardly from the anchor terminating at an outer boundary edge. The flexible, non-woven sheet has a series of spaced apart substantially parallel cuts extending from the outer boundary edge to but not through the first edge portion to thereby define a plurality of flexible strips integrally connected by the first edge portion of the sheet. The sheet may be buoyant with or without tabs of closed cell, low density foam affixed to the free end portions of the individual strips to enhance the buoyancy thereof. Also, the sheet may have a specific gravity greater than water with such tabs applied to the strip to provide buoyancy.
