The disclosure and prior art relates to display assemblies and more particularly pertains to a new display assembly for a headstone.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a frame. A plurality of arms is coupled to and extends from a bottom of the frame. The arms are configured to position on opposing faces of a headstone. Each of a plurality of couplers is coupled to a respective arm distal from the frame. The coupler is configured to couple the arm to the headstone so that the frame is positioned atop the headstone. A plurality of spikes is coupled to and extends perpendicularly from the bottom of the frame to proximate to a top of the frame. The plurality of spikes is configured to insert into a block. The block is configured to insert items, such as flowers, to couple the items to the frame to decorate the headstone.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
Each of a pair of bars 22 is coupled to and extends between a respective pair of arms 18 so that each of the arms 18 extends perpendicularly from the bar 22, positioning the pair of arms 18 to bracket the headstone. The bars 22 are coupled to the bottom 16 of the frame 12 and extend between opposing sides 24 of the frame 12. Each bar 22 protrudes from each opposing side 24 of the frame 12, as shown in
Each of a plurality of couplers 26 is coupled to a respective arm 14 distal from the frame 12. The coupler 26 is configured to couple the arm 14 to the headstone so that the frame 12 is positioned atop the headstone, as shown in
Each coupler 26 comprises a thumbscrew 28, as shown in
The head 30 of the thumbscrew 28 is positioned on a terminus 38 of the thumbscrew 28. The head 30 comprises a pair of hooks 40, as shown in
A plurality of spikes 42 is coupled to and extends perpendicularly from the bottom 16 of the frame 12 to proximate to a top 44 of the frame 12, as shown in
Each spike 42 comprises a first rod 46. The first rod 46 comprises a first section 48 and a second section 50. The first section 48 is coupled to one opposing side 52 of the frame 12 proximate to the bottom 16 and extends perpendicularly toward the other opposing side 54 of the frame 12. The second section 50 is coupled to the first section 48 distal to the one opposing side 52 of the frame 12. The second section 50 extends perpendicularly from the first section 48 toward the top 44 of the frame 12 so that the first rod 46 is L-shaped. The second section 50 is positioned substantially equally distant from the opposing sides 24 of the frame 12.
Each of a pair of plates 56 is coupled to and extends perpendicularly from a respective opposing side 24 of the frame 12 proximate to the bottom 16 and toward the other opposing side 24 of the frame 12, as shown in
Each of a pair of second rods 60 is coupled to and extends between the first sections 48 of the first rods 46, as shown in
The present invention also anticipates the frame 12 being arcuate when viewed from a respective opposing side 24 of the frame 12 so that the frame 12 is configured to position on a headstone that has a curved upper end.
In use, the frame 12 is positioned atop the headstone with each pair of arms 14 bracketing the headstone. The thumbscrews 28 are tightened to secure the frame 12 to the headstone. The block is pressed onto the spikes 42 and the items are inserted into the block to decorate the headstone.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
