  • Patent number: 5033708
    Abstract: A unitary bird bell support formed of plastic material includes a substantially planar disk including a top surface on which the bell rests, and a hanging tab integrally hinged to the disk at a hinge line which is located substantially at a center of the disk. A portion of the hanging tab is cut from the disk to form a radial slot which extends from the peripheral edge of the disk to the inner margin of the slot which forms the hinge line between the disk and hanging tab. The hanging tab is movable between an unfolded position in which the hanging tab is substantially coplanar with the disk and includes a portion which is positioned within the slot, and a folded position in which the hanging tab is substantially normal to the disk, extending upwardly and being positionable within an axial slot within the bird bell. The top portion of the hanging tab should extend upwardly out from the axial slot and has an aperture by which the support and bird bell may be hung.
