COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Flower Stand, with Arrangement for Heating same.
I, MARIE DEUTSCHMANN, of No. 34, Friedrich Strasse, Halle, on the Saale, in
the German Empire, Spinster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:
-
The present invention relates to an improved flower stand with arrangement
for heating same which has for its object to improve and accelerate the growth
of the flowers placed therein, and to preserve them from vermin, as well as
keeping the atmosphere of the room moist.
By way of example the accompanying drawing illustrates one mode of carrying
out the invention.
Fig. 1 shows a front elevation of the improved flower stand partly in section.
Fig. 2 shows a plan of same, the base plate of the receptacle being removed.
The base or frame a of the flower stand is suitably constructed in the shape of
a cross in plan view and made of T-iron, but it is obvious that any other shape and
material may be employed. It may be advantageous to provide a suitably or-
namented edge or band d to improve the external appearance of the flower
stand. Four receptacles are placed on the cross shaped frame a in such a
manner that the ornamented band d surrounds them closely, for which purpose
the dimensions of them have to be pre-determined. The receptacles 6 placed
as illustrated in Fig. 2 may together form a circle or any other shape as desired.
It will only be necessary for this purpose to alter the shape of the external wall
of the various receptacles. The band / may obviously be correspondingly shaped.
On the receptacles is placed a perforated plate which serves for supporting
the flower pots.
Feete of any desired shape and construction are secured to the base or frame a
in any suitable manner.
A heating device f is arranged beneath the base a and between the feet e so
as to be hardly visible. Tubes g lead from the heating device f to the bottom
of the receptacles b; they are so arranged as to be hardly noticeable to prevent
spoiling of the appearance of the flower stand. These tubes or conduits serve
for conveying the heat emitted from the heating device f to the receptacles b,
which contain water. The heat in the heating device f is produced by means
of a spirit lamp, an electrical heating appliance or in any other suitable and con-
venient manner. The water contained in the receptacles b is caused to slowly
evaporize by virtue of the heat imparted to it from the tubes or conduits g, the
vapour entering the flower pots placed on the perforated plate c, which covers
the several receptacles b.
The improved flower stand with arrangement for heating same simultaneously
serves for keeping the atmosphere of the room moist and by increasing the heat
emitted from the heating device f it may advantageously be placed in a con-
valescent room.
The feet care provided with ball or similar casters to enable an easy and
noiseless change of place of the flower stand.

page_text: The top part of the flower stand i.e. the frame containing the receptacles & may
permanently be rotated by any of the well known devices.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. An improved rotatable flower stand with arrangement for heating same
comprising a frame a for supporting water receptacles b, a perforated plate c
placed on the water receptacles to cover same, a heating device f with conduits g
for conveying the heat emitted to the water receptacles arranged to be supported
by the feet of the flower stand, and a device for rotating the frame a, all sub-
stantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. An improved rotatable flower stand with arrangement for heating same
constructed and adapted to operate substantially as described with reference to
the accompanying drawings.
