  • Patent number: 6389649
    Abstract: This is a garment accessory-mounting device that provides a safe and easy to use mounting method. Though design variations exist, in the preferred embodiment the device includes a substantially flattened “S” shaped structure. The free ends of the “S”, or the two end members, are substantially parallel to one another. A substantially longitudinal base member is positioned between the end members. A pair of joiners connect the base member to each of the end members, one on each end of the base member, thus creating the “S” shape. The distal ends of the end members are end tips that are preferably sharpened to a generally conical shape. This allows the user to spear a flower or other floral arrangement on one of the end members while the other end member is then positioned as a “hook” to easily support the combination on any garment, the weight of the arrangement aiding to hold it in place.
