ABSTRACT:
A receptacle (1) which may contain food or drinks or may be a plant container, for example, is provided with an upright central locating tube (2) which is attached to an aperture in a recess (3) in its base and is mounted on e.g. a parasol pole (6) by means of a jubilee clip (5) which encircles and grips spring fingers (4) which extend from the bottom end of the locating tube. The above clamping arrangement is concealed within the recess (3) and hence the appearance is enhanced. In a further embodiment, the spring fingers are omitted and the locating tube is provided with apertures above and below the surrounding region of the base which enable the receptacle to be attached to the supporting pole by pegs or threaded fixing means and, when the receptacle is dismounted from the pole, function as drainage and/or ventilation holes.
