Abstract
An assembly for decorating a plurality of objects, such as egg-shaped objects. The assembly has a support structure; a vessel for containing decorating material, with an dispensing opening at the bottom; a tether with a first tether end attached to the support structure and a second tether end attached to the vessel; and a substrate base for supporting the plurality of objects. The vessel is configured to swing freely over the objects on the substrate base to dispense the decorating material contained therein to the objects.
Claims19
An assembly for decorating a plurality of objects, comprising:
- a support structure defining a volume of space for the plurality of objects to be decorated;
- a vessel for containing a decorating material, the vessel having a surface with an opening therein;
- a tether with a first tether end attached to the support structure and a second tether end attached to the vessel;
- and
- a substrate base for supporting and positioning the plurality of objects in the volume of space, wherein the vessel is configured to swing freely within the volume of space and above the plurality of objects to dispense the decorating material on the plurality of objects.
An assembly for decorating a plurality of objects, comprising:
- a support structure;
- a vessel for containing a decorating material, with a dispensing opening at the bottom;
- and
- a tether with a first tether end attached to the support structure and a second tether end attached to the vessel, wherein the vessel is configured to swing freely over the plurality of objects without contacting the support structure, to dispense the decorating material on the plurality of objects.
A method of decorating a plurality of egg-shaped objects with a decorating assembly having a support structure, a vessel for containing a decorating material, with a dispensing opening in the vessel, a tether with a first tether end attached to the support structure and a second tether end attached to the vessel, and a substrate base for supporting the plurality of egg-shaped objects, comprising:
- a) positioning the plurality of egg-shaped objects on the substrate base;
- b) connecting the vessel containing the decorating material to the support structure by the tether;
- and
- c) releasing the vessel from a position higher than a static resting position of the vessel in order to impart swinging motion to the vessel so that the decorating material is deposited on the egg-shaped objects.
