  • Figure 1 is a view of the wrapping stand withv a potted plant supported thereon in position for wrapping, and the nested wrappingenvelopsV in assembled position relative to the'stand.
  • Fig. 2 is a similar view'illu'strating one of thewrapping envelops partly broken away and removed from its nested 'position and Araised to partly embrace the pottedplant.
  • Fig 3 is a similar view illustrating the 'withdrawn wrappingenvelop fully positioned with respect to the potted plant to inclose the 'same andltheupper end'thereof secured together for'thorou'gh' protection of the wrapped plant.
  • AFig. 4 isa broken detail view disclosing vone-manner of uniting the receiving plat- 'form to the stand.
  • the 'letter A is used to designate a stand Constructed f any desired materi'aland suitably shaped.v
  • the said stand comprises a series of vertically disposed spaced vlegs 2, united one to the other 'throughout the 'length thereof by the spaced tie er brace members 3, and the lower end portionl of each leg'Q is gradually outwardly inclined to providean enlarged base member A for the said stand and to the upper inwardly flanged'endsofthe legs Q'is united 'ahead plate ⁇ 6, forming means to receive and support a potted'plant to be wrapped.
  • top 7 is provided with a threaded depending stud 8
  • one or more open ended wrapping envelops 10 constructed of suitable wrapping material, preferably paper, and preferably resting upon and supported by the outwardly flared base member portion A of the said pedestal,
  • rlhese envelops are preferably although not necessarily frusto-conical in shape and open at top and bottom, the o-pen bottom end of the envelops being lowermost relative to the platform of the pedestal, leaving the other open end uppermost.
  • Vhen frusto-c'onical envelops are employed a series ofthemy may be nested in convenient position-below'the plant support with their larger ends uppermost, as shown 'in Figs. l and 2.
  • a child or inexperienced workman can perform the work of wrapping as rapidly and more efficiently than an expert wrapper under the method of Wrapping at present employed.
  • one or more wrapping envelops of the requisite size is placed over the pedestal or flower support to be in convenient reachv of the operator.
  • the potted Aplant to be wrapped is seated on the pot-support or top 7.
  • An operator then lifts an envelop upwardly until the upper end of the envelop extends well above the top ofthe plant C to be wrapped. It' is then only required that the person engaged rin the work of wrapping draw together the upper open end of the, envelop and tie the same in any suitable manner, the plant being-'then properly wrapped and ready for removal.
  • the envelops are of tapering form, it is obvious 'that as drawnupwardly to inclose the plant, the outstanding branches of the plant and the leaves thereof are gradually forced upwardly and drawn together, thus preventing breaking thereof while at the Sametime placing 'the same in compact form. Furthermore, the conical bottom will snugly embrace the tapered pot and prevent the envelop from slipping up too far.
  • the Wrapping device of the present invention is complete in itself, exclusive of the wrapping envelops, in that it rincludes a pedestal andan article-supporting top or head thereon, which parts together constitute a core for insertion within an open-ended wrapping envelop to maintain the same in open or distended condition and in a vertical position in readiness to be drawn upwardly around the article to be Wrapped, which is supported on the seat, the base member A formed by the out Wardly-inclined lower portions of the legs 2, also constituting a support on which the lower edge of an envelop rest
  • any suitable form of pedestal coming within the scope ⁇ of the appended claims, may be employed which will hold one or more wrapping envelops nested or otherwise arranged and capable of being drawn upwardly to inclose an article to be wrapped.
  • a device forthe wrapping of potted plants comprising a pedestal for receiving and supporting a potted plant to be wrapped, and a nested series of wrapping envelops fitted over said pedestal and adapted 'to be successively removed and upwardly drawn to inclose a plant to be wrapped.
  • plants comprising a pedestal for receiving and supporting a potted plant for wrapping provided with an enlarged base member, and a series of nested frus'to-conical shaped open ended wrapping envelops fitted over said pedestal and supported by the base member thereof, said envelops adapted to be successively removed and drawn upwardly to inclose a plant to be wrapped.
  • a device for the wrapping of potted plants comprising a pedestal for supporting a plant to be wrapped, a potsupport removably secured to the upper end of said pedestal, and a series of nested Wrapping envelops fitted over the pedestal and adapted to be successively removed and upwardly drawn to inclose a plant to be Wrapped.
  • a device for use in the wrapping of potted plants comprising a supporting structure for receiving potted plants to be wrapped, and a series of nested frusto-conical wrapping envelops tted thereover and adapted tovbe successively removed and upwardly drawn to inclose the plant to be wrapped.
  • a device for wrapping potted plants comprising means for supporting a potted plant in position to be wrapped, and an open ended wrapping envelop disposed vertically beneath the plant and in position to be drawn upwardly around the plant to inclose the same.
  • a device for wrapping potted plants comprising a pedestal for supporting a plant to be wrapped, and an open ended envelop embracing the pedestal beneath the plant in position to be drawn upwardly around the plant to inclose the same.
  • a device for wrapping potted plants comprising a pedestal for supporting a plant to be wrapped, and an open ended frustoconical envelop embracing the pedestal be-4 neath the plant in position to be drawn upwardly around the plant to inclose the same.
  • a wrapping device comprising a pedestal having at its upper end a seat to support the article to be wrapped, and an openended wrapping envelop surrounding the pedestal and removable endwise therefrom, the dimensions of said seat being such as to permit of the envelop being moved upwardly thereacross and clear thereof.

  • the/dimensions of the seat being such as to permit of the envelop being moved upwardly thereacross and clear thereof.
  • a wrapping device comprising a pedestal having leg standards which flare outwardly and constitute a base for the pedestal, an articlesupporting seat at the top of the pedestal, and an open-ended wrapping envelop embracing the pedestal and removable endwise therefrom, the lower edge of the envelop engaging and supported by the base portion of the pedestal, the dimensions of the article-supporting seat being such as to permit of the envelop being moved upwardly thereacross and free thereof.
  • a wrapping device comprising a pedestal having at its top a seat 'to support the article to be wrapped, an open-ended wrapan article-supporting seat and at a lower.
  • said pedestal and article-su porting seat constituting'a core to go inside of an envelop and maintain the same in an open and distended condition, substantially as and for the purpose described.
  • a wrapping device for holding and supporting an open-ended wrapping envelop in an open and distended condition, comprising a pedestal provided at its top with an article-supporting seat and at a lower portion with a support for the lower edge of a wrapping envelop, said pedestal and seat adapted to go inside of an envelop with the envelop engaging at its lower edge on the support, the seat being of a shape and size to fit snugly within the top of an envelop and also spaced from the support a distance substantially the same as the length of the envelop, substantially as and for the purpose described.
