  • Patent number: 4770303
    Abstract: A demountable stand for supporting hanging plants comprises an elongated cylindrical center post having a plurality of sets of circumferentially disposed support arms which extend radially outward therefrom to receive and support hanging plants. The support arms are square bar stock formed into an ornamental configuration. A plurality of sets of circumferentially spaced vertically disposed rectangular connectors having vertically extended square openings are attached circumferentially on the post at various locations along its length to slidably receive one end of the support arms. A bottom set of connectors and leg members provide a base for supporting the assembly in an upright position. Alternatively, straight support arms which extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the post may be employed to support one or more horizontal support members for supporting additional potted plants or to provide a table.
