PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Flower Pots.
I, CHARLES HUELSER of the firm of Huelser & Co. of Temple Chambers,
London, International Patent Agency, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion, a communication to me from abroad by the firm of Schurig & Prüfer of
Mügeln near Leipzig, in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturers, to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is an improved flower pot, which, instead of being
placed on the ground or on some underlayer is adapted to be hung to the wall.
The improved flower pot, which may be made of any suitable material has a
body tapering to a point downwardly, the rear side of which body has a hole or eye,
with which the flower pot is hung to a hook or nail fixed in the wall.
Flower pots
of this kind are conveniently made from paste board and may have an auxiliary pot
of the same or other material to be placed into the main pot.
Between the two
pots is inserted a sheet metal pyramid or cap at the bottom which serves to
prevent water from flowing out and also to produce sufficient interstice between the
two pots. This latter purpose may also be accomplished by making the auxiliary
pot corrugated or ribbed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Flower Pots.
I, CHARLES HUELSER, Patent Agent, of Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue,
in the City of London, 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 a flower pot, which, instead of requiring to be
placed on the ground or some convenient support, can be easily and conveniently
suspended from the wall.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figs. 1 and 6 are perspective views of two flower pots embodying this invention.
Fig. 2 is an elevation and Fig. 3 a plan of a modified form.
Figs. 4 and 5 represent details corresponding to Figs. 2 and 3.
As shown by the drawings, the body A of the pot has a pyramidal, conoidal or
similar downwardly pointed shape, and a flat back B, provided with an eyelet b
serving to suspend the said body from a hook or nail fixed to the wall.
This kind of flower pot can be easily made from pasteboard or cardboard, papier
mâché or earthenware, and may be provided with an inner receptacle C made of
the same or other suitable material. Such a receptacle is shown in Fig. 2, after
it has been drawn out of the pot A for a short distance. The inner receptacle C
is similar in shape to the outer receptacle or body A, but slightly smaller, than the
same. It is made of cardboard and armed at its point with a ferrule or sheath D of
sheet metal which serves to prevent the escape of water at the point, and also to
keep the inner receptacle at a suitable distance from the main body A.
This distance may also be obtained by giving to the inner receptacle a different
shape, for instance by corrugating or folding it, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
D

page_text: If the inner receptacle is made of cardboard, I prefer to cover it immediately
with parchment paper, but not if the said receptacle is made of porous earthenware.
Fig. 6 represents a flowerpot, which is made of earthenware, and may also e
provided with an inner receptacle.
My improved flower-pot may be removed from the wall, when required, and
secured to a suitable stand, so as to rest against its flat side.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven
tion, and in what manner the same is to be prepared, I declare that what I
claim is ;-
A flower pot adapted to be suspended from the wall and having a conoidal or
downward pointed shape, and the combination of the same with an inner receptacle,
substantially as described.
