Abstract
A mesh container holds plastic synthetic grass strips that are used to form a support cushion for candy and other items in an Easter basket. The mesh size is selected to be of the appropriate gauge to minimize the possibility of the grass strips from falling out of the mesh container. The flatness or thickness of the container can be varied.
Claims14
A container for holding grass strips for use in a basket comprising:
- (a) a first mesh sheet,
- (b) a second mesh sheet,
- (c) means for joining the periphery of the first mesh sheet against the periphery of the second mesh sheet to form an internal cavity therebetween, said first mesh sheet directly overlying the second mesh sheet beyond the joining means to constitute a marginal edge spaced from said joining means and said cavity,
- (d) a plurality of grass strips contained in the internal cavity, and
- (e) means interwoven through interstices in the mesh sheets and extending around the peripheral edges of the mesh sheets for adjusting the size of the internal cavity whereby the container can be made either flatter or thicker as desired.
A container for holding grass strips for use in a basket comprising:
- (a) a first mesh sheet having a generally circular cross-section,
- (b) a second mesh sheet having a generally circular cross-section,
- (c) a thread joining the peripheral edges of the first mesh sheet and the second mesh sheet to form an internal cavity therebetween,
- (d) a plurality of grass strips contained in the internal cavity, and
- (e) a ribbon interwoven between the interstices of the top mesh sheet and the bottom mesh sheet and extending around the peripheral edges of the mesh sheets whereby the size of the internal cavity can be made either flatter or thicker as desired.
In combination with a basket, a container for holding grass strips for use in the basket comprising:
- (a) a first mesh sheet,
- (b) a second mesh sheet,
- (c) means for joining the peripheral edges of the first mesh sheet and the second mesh sheet to form an internal cavity therebetween,
- (d) a plurality of grass strips contained in the internal cavity, and
- (e) means for adjusting the size of the internal cavity whereby the container can be made either flatter or thicker as desired.
In combination with a basket, a container for holding grass strips for use in the basket comprising:
- (a) a first mesh sheet having a generally circular cross-section,
- (b) a second mesh sheet having a generally circular cross-section,
- (c) a thread joining the peripheral edges of the first mesh sheet and the second mesh sheet to form an internal cavity therebetween,
- (d) a plurality of grass strips contained in the internal cavity, and
- (e) a ribbon interwoven between the interstices of the top mesh sheet and the bottom mesh sheet whereby the size of the internal cavity can be made either flatter or thicker as desired.
