  • Patent number: 7111429
    Abstract: Disclosed is a combination flower protector and variable diameter display sleeve for cut flower bouquets that is fabricated from a single sheet of flexible planar plastic or other material that is adapted to be rolled about the stems of a bouquet of cut flowers, preferably roses. The apparatus is comprised of a pie shaped segment in which are disposed a pair of elongated parallel slots that extend to near the left side of the sheet while at the right edge is disposed a tab structure. The tab structure may be inserted into the elongated slots to hold the cone together but also to allow its upper diameter to be varied in amount commensurate with the length of the slots.

  • Publication number: 20060059773
    Abstract: Disclosed is a tapered cut flowers gift box having a display window around a corner and on two sides of the box the box is combined with a tapered square cup which is perforated in the bottom to allow water to pass readily through the bottom into the interior of the cup. Flowers are disposed in the gift box for display purposes in a bucket of water. The bottoms of the flower stems are placed in the perforated cup. The perforated cup is interlocked into the bottom of the tapered box in a position so that most of its height is exposed beneath the bottom edges of the sides of the tapered box. The exposed height is sufficient to keep the bottom edges of the sides of the tapered box above the water line in the bucket. Interlocking of the perforated cup with the gift box is accomplished with four horizontal tabs placed on the lip of the four sides of the cup which are disposed within four slots cut into the four sides of the tapered gift box near its bottom.
