Gallagher
Gallagher's invention relates to a bouquet ring by means of which flowers may
be worn on the finger. As shown in Figures 1-4, a bouquet ring 11 comprises a base
and prong member 13 and a decorative ring band 15 connected to the base and prong
member 13 by a rivet 17. Base and prong member 13 includes a support base 19
having a hole 21 formed centrally thereof for receiving rivet 17. Bendable grasping
prongs 23 extend from support base 19 and are adapted to be bent to grasp fresh or
artificial flowers, a synthetic foam-plastic flower support block 25 (see Figure 5), or a
tube-type flower support 27 (see Figure 8). Prongs 23 may be provided with crease
lines 29 and 31 that divide the prongs into tip portions 33, intermediate portions 35 and
bottom portions 37. Ring band 15 is provided with ends 39 and 41 which are bent into
overlapping position so as to permit expansion and contraction of the ring band to
accommodate fingers of various sizes.
