  • Patent number: 5117779
    Abstract: A bird bath of the type that can be mounted to an elongated vertical support member comprises a the bowl (12) which is shallow and has a circular indentation to accommodate the shape of a tree, or any other vertical support. The bowl (12) is further constructed to have an engaging boss portion (10) situated on the undersurface (13). The engaging boss portion (10) is joined, and secured, to an elongated horizontal arm member (14), and to a diagonal leveling device (16). For ease of cleaning and emptying, the bowl pivots forward and away from the vertical support. This is done by removing locking mechanism (18B), and allowing fastening agent (18A) to serve the function of a hinge; even when bowl is in pivoted position, it is still securely attached to arm member (14). When locking mechanism (18B) is reinstated, it holds bowl (12) in horizontal position; the locking mechanism is of the type that it can be disassembled, removed, reassembled, and reinstated repeatedly without suffering significant damage.
