I, JOHN POPE, of The Ericas, Northfield, King's Norton, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, Nurseryman, do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct improved portable crosses, such as
those used for immortelles, and analogous purposes, and to which flowers, evergreens
or other ornaments may be attached.
In carrying out my invention I form the cross of two pieces of wood or other
suitable material; one or both of which is provided with a transverse groove, in
order that, when the two pieces forming the cross are placed together in position,
they may fit into each other and be united at right angles to each other. A small
screw bolt and fly nut is used to secure the pieces together, the head of the bolt
being placed in front and the fly out behind.
The flowers or other ornaments may be attached to the cross ready for use.
The screw may then be withdrawn, and the two parts separated for purposes of
packing and conveyance; and the pieces may be readily reunited when required
for use, with the flowers or other ornaments already attached thereto; the insertion
of the screw and nut being all that is necessary.

I, JOHN POPE, of the Ericas, Northfield, King's Norton, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick Nurseryman, do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to construct improved portable crosses, such as
those used for immortelles and analogous purposes, and to which flowers, evergreens
or other ornaments may be attached.
In carrying out my invention I form the cross of two pieces of wood or other
suitable material; one or both of which is provided with a transverse groove, in
order that, when the two pieces forming the cross are placed together in position,
they may fit into each other and be united at right angles to each other. A small
screw bolt and fly nut is used to secure the pieces together, the liead of the bolt
being placed in front and the fly nut behind.
The flowers or other ornaments may be attached to the cross ready for use.
The screw may then be withdrawn, and the two parts separated for purposes of
packing and conveyance; and the pieces may be readily reunited when required for
use, with the flowers or other ornaments already attached thereto; the insertion of
the screw and nut being all that is necessary.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascer-
tained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar
letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my invention, ready for packing. a is the longi-
tudinal, vertical bar, b is the horizontal bar, c is the groove formed in the bar b,
the sides of which fit closely to the bar a, when placed in the position shewn in
Figs. 2 and 3. d is a screw bolt and e is a fly nut, fitting the screw.
The groove
may be formed in the bar a, if preferred; or partly in each bar.
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
The manufacture and use of crosses for immortelles, flowers and other analogous
purposes, substantially as herein before described and shewn on the drawings.
