Abstract
An ornament display device and wreath insert is inserted into the center of a wreath and provides a flat surface for displaying objects. The display device comprises a plurality of prongs each having at least one serration, with each prong adapted to contact the wreath core and establish an interference fit sufficient to hold the support in position without tipping around the core. A platform of a predetermined configuration, e.g., concave shaped ends, helps to secure the platform within the center of a wreath. A placard displays a message or other decorative graphic and is shaped to substantially hide the platform and the prongs.

A decorative scene support adapted to allow an ornament to be securely supported on and from a core which is part of a wreath that has a center opening, the core surrounding the center opening, said support comprising:
- a plurality of spaced-apart prongs adapted to extend on opposite sides of the core, each prong having at least one serration adapted to contact a side of the core and establish an interference fit sufficient to hold the support in position within the center opening without tipping around the core.
A decorative scene support adapted to be securely supported on and from a core which is part of a wreath that has a center opening, the core surrounding the center opening, comprising:
- a horizontal platform adapted to allow an ornament to be securely supported thereon;
- and
- a plurality of prongs extending downward from the platform, the prongs are adapted to extend on opposite sides of the core and establish a frictional restraint against the core on opposite sides of the core sufficient to hold the platform in position within the center opening of the wreath, and the prongs are also adapted alternatively to contact a horizontal surface and support the platform from the horizontal surface.
A wreath insert for decorating a wreath having a center opening surrounded by a core of the wreath, the wreath insert adapted to fit securely to the core of the wreath and within the center opening to display an ornament, said wreath insert comprising:
- a platform having an upper surface upon which to support the ornament;
- at least one pair of elongated prongs, each prong having a proximal and a distal end, the proximal end of each prong attached to the platform and the distal end of each prong adapted to extend away from the platform, the prongs of each pair are adapted to contact opposite sides of the core and establish an interference fit sufficient to hold the platform in position inside the opening with the prongs extending outward from the opening on a front and a back of the core to resist tipping of the platform around the core.
