ABSTRACT:
A flexible rubber disk serving as a base for a transparent globular display container adapted to be filled with liquid, and as an effective seal for a circular opening in the latter bounded by a flared lip. The upper face of the base is provided with a central socket for a cylindrical block of yieldable porous plastic material in which are seated the components of a natural or artificial floral arrangement, or any other desirable ornament. The block is secured against displacement by arcuate ribs at the edge of the socket which impale substantially the entire lateral wall of the block. An annular recess in the upper face of the base permits the insertion thereinto of said flared lip at said circular opening, to form a liquid seal at the base of the annular slot and at the convexity of the flared lip against the inner lateral wall of the central portion of the disk delineated by the annular slot. Diametral slots in said central portion extending between the annular slot and socket afford passages between the interior and exterior of the container and a fine control of the seal adjacent the outer ends of the diametral slots. A slight flexing of the disk at these outer points breaks the seal sufficiently to expel air and/or water from the container, or to add water thereinto, if necessary, at the outer edge of the annular slot. The seal is re-established immediately upon the release of the flexing, - all this being done without disturbing the retention of the display in the socket of the base.
