ABSTRACT:
The subject holder and attachment bracket comprise a holder for floral arrangements and a bracket for attaching the holder to the end of a support structure. The holder is an open topped container having at least one flat side. There is a rectangular opening in the flat side near the rim, its long axis being in a horizontal plane. The bracket comprises a strut portion and a clip portion. The strut portion has first and second sides. A hook near the top of the first side engages the opening in the container and holds the container flat side against the first side. The hook and opening are shaped so that the motion of the container relative to the strut portion is highly restricted. A protuberance extends from the second side of the strut near its lower end. The clip portion extends from the top of the strut portion in a direction away from the first side of the strut. It then curves downward and back toward the strut and ends with a small curve in the opposite direction. The at rest distance between the strut and the clip portions at their point of closest proximity is less than the smallest anticipated thickness of the support structure so that the holder is held to the support structure by gravity and the force provided by the deflection of the clip.
